Arms Warrior DPS Nerub-ar Palace Raid Guide — The War Within (Season 1)

Note that it is early days and that this section will be far more fleshed out as the Season progresses and cool tricks and tips are found.

• You may want to defensive if you are at low HP when Hungering Bellows happens.

• If the adds die very quickly in your group, then saving cooldowns other than Bladestorm and Sweeping Strikes is preferred.

• The add phase begins each time Ulgrax reaches zero energy, which ticks down at a rate of one per second, making it easy to determine how cooldowns will align.
• Avatar and Bladestorm will remove any Stalker's Netting on the ground, clearing extra space in melee.

The raid multitarget Cleave build is recommended.

• Consider using a defensive if you are at low HP when Bloodcurdle happens or if you are about to go down via Gruesome Disgorge.

• Sweeping Strikes is fantastic for add phases. Bladestorm can be used whenever multiple are grouped together, but it should generally be used on cooldown.

• Adds spawn roughly every minute, starting ~10 seconds into the encounter. Players alternate groups, which means you will either be assigned to deal with adds on even or odd intervals, so save or use cooldowns accordingly.

Although Bloodbound Horror includes regular add phases, it does not feature large groups of clumped-up adds.

The single target Juggernaut build is recommended.

• Defensive Stance is very strong here, as you are unable to deal damage while moving out for Phase Blades anyway.

• As a single target boss, cooldowns should be used regularly, though it is usually a good idea to delay a second or two to see if you are about to be targeted with Phase Blades.

• Heroic Leap, Charge, and Intervene can be used as emergency movement tools to counteract the pull, but be very careful about what path the movement will take.

• Use Spell Reflection liberally, such as before Erosive Spray goes out.

• Bladestorm should be timed with the periodic wave of adds at ~1 minute, 2:20, and 3:40 into the fight.

• Spinneret's Strands can be easily broken with Charge/Leap/Intervene.

Although the boss features periodic groups of adds, they tend to be burst down very quickly during Bladestorm, so a multitarget build is not necessary. Conversely, the boss begins at 60% health, causing it to spend a longer amount of time in the execute phase, so a single target build focusing on Juggernaut is preferred.

• Because Volatile Concoction deals increased damage the more HP you are missing, using Defensive Stance or Spell Reflection is highly recommended.

• More or less on cooldown, though try to time Bladestorm for larger groups of adds.

• On Heroic, activating Avatar or Bladestorm will immediately clear Sticky Web, applying Web Eruption to allies within 10 yards, so watch timers carefully when using these cooldowns!

• Defensive Stance is very strong here, as you are unable to deal damage while moving out for Assassination anyway.

• This is a pure single-target encounter, so use cooldowns regularly, though it may be a good idea to delay their activation slightly if Assassination is about to be cast.

• Warriors have no particular tricks on this encounter, aside from common capabilities like using Charge and Heroic Leap to get in and out of range quickly.

• Sweeping Strikes should be used regularly, though Bladestorm can be timed for groups of smaller adds whenever possible.

• Call of the Swarm adds fixate the closest target, so use that to your advantage to lure them into melee range of the boss.
