Tanks
- Fyrakk will always leap to his current target if out of range dealing an extra melee attack. Try to be in melee when taunting.
- Face him away from the raid due to his frontal.
- in phase one keep him away from Amirdrassil’s Roots.
- Pick up a Burning Colossus whenever they spawn.
- In phase three taunt swap when the shadowflame dot damage becomes too much.
Healers
- Dream Rend damage is spicy and pulls everyone towards it.
- Burning Presence causes raid damage during the whole fight.
- The Aflame debuff spawns frequently and should be cleansed as soon as possible whenever a player has it.
- During the intermission the raid will take heavy AOE damage until the shield is broken.
- In phase two the Spirits of the Kaldorei should be healed as soon as possible to reduce risk of them burning.
DPS
- Try to line up cooldowns for the intermission. The longer this goes on the more damage it pulses.
- Screaming Souls should be interrupted and killed as quickly as possible.
- Try to push/control Screaming Souls into groups to make cleaving easier.
Phase One
The tank should face Fyrakk away from the group to ensure the frontal attack doesn’t cleave anybody and position the group on the opposite end of the arena to where the roots are. This is to allow players who need to place Raging Flames are as close to where they need to be as possible. Players who get the Blaze debuff need to find a safe position and then stay still until their Blaze has erupted.
Moving around with Blaze will cause the rest of the group to panic, so finding a safe spot early makes this mechanic much easier to manage. The raid leader should have assigned where the group will run during Dream Rend, and the group should be close together to allow healers to AOE heal easier. It is vital that healers are cleansing Aflame consistently, as these debuffs are well known to build up and kill players early on. Once Fyrakk reaches 70% health he will fly up and the intermission will begin.
Intermission
During the intermission Fyrakk will gain a massive shield that must be broken within 30 seconds of him landing. He will then channel Shadowflame Breath at Amirdrassil and have a deadly puddle underneath him that nobody should stand in. DPS using cooldowns here often makes this quicker, as the raid damage he pulses also builds up over time. During this phase players should spread out around him and allow the Flame Orbs to run into them. This does a small amount of damage but allowing them to reach Fyrakk will cause a pulse of massive shadowflame damage to the entire raid. Once the shield is broken Fyrakk will fly into the air again and prepare to use Flamefall.
Phase Two
At the start of this phase Fyrakk will smash into the ground. It’s telegraphed and easy to avoid and always in the same location. A tank should pick him up quickly and the group should avoid standing in front of him. At this phase of the fight it is also vital that players are aware of the Spirits of the Kaldorei that spawn. If any damage comes to them before they are healed, they will turn into Screaming Souls and likely mean Amirdrassil runs out of health.
Fyrakk will spawn two Burning Colossus that deal damage to anyone within 15 yards of them. Usually each tank will pick up one and separate them, taking them to deal with the Screaming Souls on either end of the platform, but it is possible to keep them together if your healers are prepared. The Spirits of the Kaldorei need to be healed as soon as possible. Once they are at full health, they gain a shield reducing all damage they take. This usually ensures they will make it to Amirdrassil and not get killed. The Blaze lines players receive continue to hit players in this phase, and it becomes increasingly important to be aware of your surroundings now. This is because the Blazes can also hit the Spirits of the Kaldorei, instantly killing them and turning them into Screaming Souls.
After making sure the Screaming Souls and Burning Colossus are kept away from the Spirits of the Kaldorei, knocking them together when possible, interrupting and killing them, Fyrakk will repeat this whole part again a second time with real differences. After you have killed the Burning Colossus a second time, you gain around 40 seconds to freely attack Fyrakk. This is usually a great time to use Heroism/Bloodlust, After a set amount of time Fyrakk will fly up into the sky and phase three will begin.
Phase Three
Fyrakk will land in his dragon form and knock players up into the air right at the beginning of this phase. If Heroism/Bloodlust wasn’t used yet, now is the time to use it. Seeds of Amirdrassil will fall to the floor and assigned players should pick these up. It is extremely important that the people carrying these seeds are separated from the rest of the group. This is because any shadowflame damage that hits the player or seed, will destroy the seed and create a Blazing Seed that will likely kill half the group.
Have the seed carriers on the left side of Fyrakk, the tanks in front and everyone else on the right side of him. Players will be marked with Blaze’s as well as Swirling Firestorm’s during this phase, and these along with Fyrakk’s Shadowflame Breath attack cannot hit the seeds. If a player holding a seed gets targeted by Blaze or Swirling Firestorm, they need to use their extra action button to drop the seed in a safe location and move out of the way. Swirling Firestorms should always be ran to the edge of the platform as these are deadly and knock players back, easily causing a wipe. Other players Blaze lines can also destroy seeds, which is why splitting the group is the safest way to deal with them.
Fyrakk’s final ability is Apocalypse Roar, which is a 5 second cast that causes deadly damage and knocks players back. This is where the Seeds come into play. During the Apocalypse Roar cast, the extra action button changes to become the Bloom ability. Using this places a large green zone on the floor that when stepped into, reduces the knock back and heavily reduces the damage taken by players. Only one seed should be used at a time and generally everyone meets up right behind Fyrakk for this. Any players not in the Bloom zone by the time Apocalypse Roar is cast will die, and any seeds being carried by them or on the floor will become Blazing Seeds. From this point it’s a DPS race to kill Fyrakk before running out of seeds to use.
