General Information

Welcome to our World of Warcraft encounter guide for Garothi Worldbreaker in Antorus, the Burning Throne. We will teach you everything you need to know to defeat the boss in every difficulty.

On this particular page, we will give you a short overview of the fight as well as a list of things to watch out for (include LFR tips when applicable).

The other pages of our Garothi Worldbreaker guide can be accessed from the table of contents on the right.

To make it easy to navigate the guide, we have split it into 3 pages:

• Abilities: read about the encounter abilities;
• Normal/Heroic Strategy/Tactics: find out how to defeat the encounter in Normal and Heroic modes;
• Mythic Strategy: learn how to handle the new mechanics and increased difficulty of Mythic mode.

The Garothi Worldbreaker is the first boss accessible in Antorus, the Burning Throne.

Constructed deep within the core of Argus and outfitted with an arsenal capable of decimating worlds, this war machine has been designed for a single purpose; to bring the mortals' invasion to its knees.

The Garothi Worldbreaker is a single phase encounter, punctuated by a pseudo-intermission phase. During this short reprieve the raid must choose which weapon to destroy, ending the intermission and removing certain abilities from the encounter while empowering existing ones.

• Perform a taunt swap after Fel Bombardment is applied. The afflicted tank should take the debuff to either side of the platform and be prepared to evade missile fire for 5 seconds after the debuff expires.
• If you are not actively tanking, help soak Annihilation when possible.

• Prepare raid cooldowns for Eradication.
• Help soak Annihilation whenever possible.
• Run to the sides of the room when targeted by Decimation.
• Have raid cooldowns ready for each Haywire Annihilation (Mythic only).

• Help soak Annihilation whenever possible.
• Run to the sides of the room when targeted by Decimation.
• Have burst damage prepared for Apocalypse Drive to quickly destroy one of the Garothi Worldbreaker's weapons.

• The ranged and healers should loosely spread around the center of the room.
• Tanks should designate a side to always take their Fel Bombardment debuff; this area should be kept clear of Decimations at all times.
• A Warlock's Demonic Gateway should be placed from the melee stack to the back of the room to assist in escaping Eradication. This is especially important when dealing with Luring Destruction (Mythic only).
• Decimation should be dropped off on the sides or back of the room.
• The group should form a loose stack during Apocalypse Drive to improve healing.

We advise you to use Bloodlust/ Heroism/ Time Warp as the encounter commences. On Mythic difficulty, it can alternately be used after the second Eradication to close out the fight as quickly as possible.
