DPS
Main Phase
Rashok is a DPS race with a lot of raid healing needed the entire fight. Start by positioning him on one side of the room. He should never cross the middle platform until he is near 100 energy as doing so will cause him to begin the intermission early, however the tanks should make sure they allow time to move him to the centre. A good time to move him is straight after he casts Shadowlava Blast.
Rashok will periodically target a player with Searing Slam and after 5 seconds he will leap into them, slamming the ground causing heavy damage to them and leaving a Lava Vortex in that position. This will stay for the whole fight and pour out Lava Wave‘s every few seconds. If any two Searing Slam‘s touch, or a Searing Slam hits the centre platform, the raid will wipe, so making sure to put them around the edges of the room, leaving enough space in between them, while not having them all over the place is key to beating this fight.
Rashok will shoot Doom Flames towards the floor in several locations, these will always need one player in them to soak the damage. It leaves a nasty DoT on them that healers should be vigilant with. Missing a Doom Flame will deal massive damage to the entire raid so these should always be priority. As he can send these quite far out, melee should focus on the close ones and the range should grab the ones further out, leaving healers to focus on keeping the group alive. The rest of the group should try to keep close together and use defensives and healer cooldowns here if you have enough spare keeping the intermission in mind.
Rashok will also use Charged Smash on his current target. This is a large player soak that increases the energy he gains based on the number of players missing from it when it strikes. Because of this, all players in the raid should be inside this soak. This leaves a debuff that needs healing through.
When Rashok reaches 90 energy, which is always after he’s used his third Searing Slam, he will target a random player and start casting Shadowlava Blast. This is a deadly purple frontal cone that extends very far, so ideally players should run close to him as soon as possible after he leaps, allowing you to run out of this frontal attack much easier.
Right after this frontal cone, the current tank should move the boss to the middle platform. He can melee from quite a distance so make sure the tank moves a few steps past the middle. He must reach the centre before he reaches 100 energy or the group will wipe. Doing this will start the intermission.
Intermission
Rashok will begin to pulse with energy while he charges down in the centre. dealing massive raid wide damage. During this time, all players should try to group together to make healing and defensive usage more effective. There will be several lines of swirls shooting out from the centre to avoid, and the damage builds up over time due to the Scorched Flesh debuff players receive. Once his energy is drained, the main phase will repeat. Rashok can only have his energy drained 2 times before he breaks the centre platform, making this a DPS race to the end.
