Quick TLDR Guide
1.1.
Boss Phase:
- If you are targeted by
Rolling Acid, pay attention to which side it is on. If it is on your left, move left. If it is on your right, move right. Keep the middle clear.
- Avoid being hit by
Rolling Acid by standing between them.
- Run away with
Spinneret's Strands and break your link web.
- Healers: Players snapping
Spinneret's Strands triggers
Spinneret's Websnap dealing raid wide damage.
- Be close to the boss before Infested Spawn so that the raid can AoE the adds down.
- Tanks: Swap after each cast of
Savage Assault.
- Healers:
Erosive Spray will deal a very large amount of damage to the raid. Prepare to use cooldowns for this.
1.2.
Intermission:
- Rashanan will fly away to another place on the platform 3 times.
- Follow the boss and interrupt
Acidic Eruption.
- Heroic: Soak
Web Reave.

1.3.
Boss Phase:
Rolling Acid
- If you've done the Dawnbreaker dungeon, you will be familiar with this mechanic. Two players will be marked with this mechanic.
- If the wave is on your left, it will roll left and vice versa for right.
- Your aim is to keep the space between the waves clear so the raid is not hit by the wave.
- When this wave hits a
Sticky Webs it will turn into an
Acid Pools.
-
Spinneret's Strands
- Several players are targeted by this ability. They will have radius circles around them. These players should run away from the raid.
- These players are then tethered to their webs and take ticking damage from the tether.
- Moving out of the radius of the web will snap the tether and trigger
Spinneret's Websnap dealing raid wide damage
- Infested Spawn
- Players in the raid are targeted by this ability and should group up in melee range. Shortly after being targeted, adds will spawn.
- Being in melee range means that players in the raid can AoE these down easier.
- Tanks:
Savage Assault
- This tank mechanic deals both physical and nature damage. 90% of unmitigated damage (damage done to your health pool) is then applied to you again as a DoT.
- This is a good time to use defensive cooldowns and external cooldowns from healers to reduce the amount of unmitigated damage taken.
- Tanks will be swapping after each hit of
Savage Assault to prevent
Savage Wound from becoming unmanageable.
1.4.
Heroic Changes:
- All players in range of
Spinneret's Strands are tethered to the web.
- Infested Spawn will deal AoE damage when they spawn.
1.5.
Intermission:
- Rashanan will fly away to another place on the platform, which indicates the start of the intermission.
- During this phase, you must be mindful of
Acid Poolss and
Sticky Webss as they will be in your way.
- Once reaching the destination, Rashanan will cast
Acidic Eruption. This must be interrupted as soon as possible; any ticks will deal increasing amounts of raid wide damage.
- Once this has been interrupted, Rashanan will fly away again and cast
Acidic Eruption.
- After you interrupt Rashanan for the third time, this phase will be over.
1.6.
Heroic Changes:
- When Rashanan goes back into the Main Phase, they will cast
Web Reave. This ability will target one player and attempt to pull them off the platform.
- If
Web Reave does not hit 4 players, the entire raid will be dragged off the platform. Have your raid soak this slightly out of melee range to be safe from the ability.
2.
Mythic Strategy
Currently, this tab will only contain information on what changes on Mythic. A more robust strategy will be added after the raid goes live.
1.7.
Mythic Changes:
- All players in range of
Spinneret's Strands are bound to the web.
- Snapping a web will trigger damage to all players in the area, meaning that these webs must be placed far away from the raid.
