- Minor Slots

- Essence of the Focusing Iris — Rank 3: Focused Energy

For more information, please refer to our Blackwater Behemoth strategy guide.

Use Heroic Leap to easily deal with Arcane Bomb and to get to the second phase target easier.
Save cooldowns for the second phase targets every 2 minutes, in order to quickly defeat them and get back to the first phase of the encounter.
Otherwise, simply dodge tornados and focus damage on the boss.
For more information, please refer to our Radiance of Azshara strategy guide.
Lady Ashvane

- Major Slot
- Memory of Lucid Dreams — Rank 3: Memory of Lucid Dreams + Lucid Dreams
- Minor Slots
- Essence of the Focusing Iris — Rank 3: Focused Energy
- The Crucible of Flame — Rank 3: Ancient Flame
Tips
Do not hold cooldowns for the damaging phase, as using them early and often will help get to that phase quicker.
Berserker Rage will both immune and immediatley break Briny Bubble. Time Warbreaker and Bladestorm to quickly break out other players.
For more information, please refer to our Lady Ashvane strategy guide.
Orgozoa
We advise you to use the following essences against Orgozoa.
- Major Slot
- Memory of Lucid Dreams — Rank 3: Memory of Lucid Dreams + Lucid Dreams
- Minor Slots
- Purification Protocol — Rank 3: Purification Protocol
- Essence of the Focusing Iris — Rank 3: Focused Energy
Tips
The Benthic item Zanj'ir Scaleguard Greatbelt and Purification Protocol will do extra damage to Aberrations in this encounter.
Three adds which need to be burst down spawn at frequent intervals, which Warbreaker and Bladestorm should be saved for. Focused Azerite Beam is also a powerful multi-target damage Major essence, although it requires the targets to be well stacked.
In phase two, use Heroic Leap to easily deal with Aqua Lance.
For more information, please refer to our Orgozoa strategy guide.
The Queen's Court
We advise you to use the following essences against The Queen's Court.
- Major Slot
- Memory of Lucid Dreams — Rank 3: Memory of Lucid Dreams + Lucid Dreams
- Minor Slots
- Essence of the Focusing Iris — Rank 3: Focused Energy
- The Crucible of Flame — Rank 3: Ancient Flame
Tips
The bosses must be kept 21 yards apart, making it a single-target encounter.
The Repeat Performance decree can be dealt with by using off global cooldown abilities to avoid repeating the same ability twice in a row. Fervor of Battle will always count as two different abilities.
The majority of the fight will be a single target burn, while avoiding boss abilities. Sweeping Strikes can be used to cleave nearby Sparks, but they should not be killed too quickly after one another.
For more information, please refer to our The Queen's Court strategy guide.
Za'qul, Harbinger of Ny'alotha
We advise you to use the following essences against Za'qul, Harbinger of Ny'alotha.
- Major Slot
- Memory of Lucid Dreams — Rank 3: Memory of Lucid Dreams + Lucid Dreams
- Minor Slots
- Essence of the Focusing Iris — Rank 3: Focused Energy
- Purification Protocol — Rank 3: Purification Protocol
Tips
The Benthic item Zanj'ir Scaleguard Greatbelt and Purification Protocol will do extra damage to Aberrations in this encounter.
The Delirium Realm increases Haste by 30%, and allows you to damage allies, so be careful not to cleave them or be cleaved by them. The movement and phasing will also make Lifeblood difficult to maintain.
Berserker Rage can immune the fear from Dread, but it counts as an immediate dispel, which will cause a large burst of damage to all players. Ensure your healers are aware of this, or it can easily wipe the raid.
For more information, please refer to our Za'qul, Harbinger of Ny'alotha strategy guide.
Queen Azshara
We advise you to use the following essences against Queen Azshara.
- Major Slot
- Memory of Lucid Dreams — Rank 3: Memory of Lucid Dreams + Lucid Dreams
- Minor Slots
- The Crucible of Flame — Rank 3: Ancient Flame
- EssenceoftheFocusingIris — Rank 3: Focused Energy
Tips
In Phase One, do not use Charge against the Overzealous Hulk, or it will become immune to stuns. Otherwise, avoid damaging effects on the ground and deal damage to the mini-bosses until the phase ends.
Phase Two is largely tunneling the boss, occasionally moving around the pillar to line of sight her Arcane Burst/ Arcane Detonation or standing in a Ward of Power to recharge it — this applies a 2-minute debuff which removes 10% of maximum health with each stack, so do not let it go beyond 5.
Phase Three spawns adds which take priority over the boss. Although you can cleave them with Sweeping Strikes, take care to ensure you are hitting the Tidemistress and Queen, without damaging the Loyal Myrmidon, as it is very easy to kill prematurely. Your Drained Soul debuff will typically fall during this phase or the next, so ensure you soak another Ward of Power when appropriate.
Phase Four is a single-target burn on the boss, while avoiding ground effects. You may randomly gain Essence of Azeroth, which will grant a large buff that automatically kills you after 40 seconds; if that happens, ensure you use all remaining cooldowns during that time.
For more information, please refer to our Queen Azshara strategy guide.
