Blood Death Knight Tank Liberation of Undermine Raid Guide — The War Within (11.1.5)

• On each Tank Buster cast use Death's Advance (to not get knocked back) with Vampiric Blood and Icebound Fortitude / Lichborne.

• On cooldown, unless the intermission is coming up then you will want to save them to take advantage of the vulnerability.

• The knockback from Tank Buster can be negated with Death's Advance.
• All of the pit mechanics are susceptible to CC. This means you can grip them under the boss so they can be cleaved down easier!

• The Support Rig adds can be gripped away (if they get too close) and slowed with Chains of Ice (to let a player in the raid with hard CC have more time to cast it).

• Use Icebound Fortitude / Lichborne to mitigate the follow up damage from Lightning Bash. The follow up damage can be reduced with Anti-Magic Shell.
• Use Anti-Magic Shell and Icebound Fortitude / Lichborne to mitigate the damage from Eruption Stomp.

• On cooldown.

• If you get stunned from moving too much with Static Charge, Icebound Fortitude can remove it.

• You may be tasked with kicking the miniature figurines, run into them so that they are sent toward the middle of the room.

• The auto attacks on this encounter deal Sonic damage. This means that they are not reduced by armour. This makes Death Strike a very valuable tool to have as this is based on your damage taken. While armour may not have an impact on the damage you take, you still need to maintain Bone Shield for your wider toolkit.

• On cooldown but if the intermission is coming up, hold them as the boss takes 99% less damage during this phase and you will have nothing to hit.

• If you find yourself very out of position when the intermission begins you can use Anti-Magic Shell and not die from the Blaring Drop ring.

• No mythic changes for tanks on this boss.

• Heroic:If your group does not have any disease dispellers, Dancing Rune Weapon becomes valuable while tanking Hyenas, as it helps parry their auto attacks and prevent application of Infected Bite stacks.
• Use Anti-Magic Shell, Vampiric Blood and Icebound Fortitude / Lichborne for every Meltdown cast that you take.

• On cooldown.

• Anti-Magic Shell can be used to prevent Incinerator from spawning on you.
• Heroic: Territorial Bombshell can be gripped once they are below 80% HP.

• Your job as a Blood DK on this fight will be to never deal with the ball mechanic and just tank the boss and grip bombshells.
• As you are the boss tank, this means you will get hit by every Meltdown.
• Boss movement is completely in your control, make sure that you have the boss away from fire for each Electromagnetic Sorting cast as the bombshells spawn on newly spawned big garbage piles only.

• Heroic: If you opt to soak 2x Foot-Blasters in a row, you won't need much on the first one but be ready to Death Strike the damage you took. For the second soak you will want to use Icebound Fortitude and Anti-Magic Shell.

• On cooldown.

• Death's Advance negates the movement speed reduction from running against the conveyor belt.
• You should have a charge of Death's Advance for every Pyro Party Pack you get to help with running away from the raid.

• No mythic changes for tanks on this boss.

• If you ever need to click a pylon to trigger the effects again and remove Shocking Fields you will take a large physical hit. One Death Strike should heal you back up. If you are low on HP before clicking the Pylon you may want to consider using Lichborne or Icebound Fortitude before clicking.

• On cooldown.

• Be ready with Death's Advance to run away with The Big Hit as it drops a pool after the cast completes. This does not give you a debuff so as soon as you see the boss casting the ability run away! Optionally you can talent into Wraith Walk for a bigger speed boost and it will be available for each hit you take.
• The 3 Coin Attendants have fixed locations. Be ready to drag the boss on top of them after it uses Pay to Win.
• Be mindful of the Voltaic Streak beams in the enrage phase. These will connect from the pylons which you have placed in the previous phase to the boss.

• Whilst you are getting comfortable with the cadence of the hits on this fight it would be recommended to use Rune Tap for The Big Hit. The name is quite fitting on Mythic where if you do not have Vampiric Blood and a full Blood Shield, you will trigger Purgatory.
• If you are clicking the pillars for your team the same rules as above apply. You can use one charge of Rune Tap for each click and big hit. Make sure you click it at an angle to get knocked towards the boss so you can cast Death Strike mid air.

• N/A.

• On cooldown.

• Do not soak any Earthshaker Gaol's. If the boss follows you inside there the adds will enrage
• Molten Gold Knuckles requires heavy movement after you land from the knock back. If you are struggling with this the stun applied at the end can be removed with Icebound Fortitude.
• If you opt to soak mines make sure you have Death's Advance active as this will prevent the knockback from soaking it.

• No mythic changes for tanks on this boss.

• Be ready to use Anti-Magic Shell after each Scatterblast Canisters in Phase 1 and Bigger Badder Bomb Blast in Phase 3.
• Many soak based mechanics will apply a heal absorb on you, be ready to simply Death Strike the heal absorb away.

• If you use Abomination Limb on pull, it will be ready for the first intermission and it will then be available for every other intermission phase.

• Be ready to Death Grip adds during intermission phases.

• The fundamentals of the fight remain the same on Mythic, however the order everything happens in is compeltely different.
• In Phase 1 you will very likely be the Ego Check tank. This means that you will take every hit of Ego Check apart from one or two. These hit very hard and leave a hard hitting DoT afterwards based on how much of the damage you took. It is strongly recommended to use Rune Tap and a defensive trinket (Bombsuit or Ritual Mud) and make a full cooldown plan for each hit.
• You will also very likely be the tank that holds a bomb for 3 minutes, this deals ticking damage which you can mostly ignore, but will need to be careful and not use a 2nd potion as you will need to use a Potion of Gusts to jump over the gap and have an evoker rescue you back to safety.
