Tanks
- Phase one and phase two have the same tank buster, phase three is different.
- Electrified Jaws is the phase one & phase two tank buster, use large mitigation.
- In the first intermission keep an eye on Windforce Strikes stacks. Use a defensive when it gets too high to handle.
- Thunderous Blast is the tank buster in phase three. After two seconds it explodes based on the amount of damage you took in that time. Mitigate well here.
- Taunt swap after each cast of Electrified Jaws and Thunderous Blast.
Healers
- Mass Dispel works wonders with Volatile Sparks.
- Tanks will get shredded from Electrified Jaws.
- Hurricane Wing, Static Charge and Volatile Current will cause a lot of raid damage in phase one.
- Stormsurge is the most dangerous part of phase two. This is ramping damage until the shield is broken.
- Players with Fulminating Charge and Lingering Charge need spot healing.
- Thunderous Blast will cause raid damage based on how much damage the tank takes from it. Using external defensives make a huge difference here.
DPS
- Volatile Sparks can be stopped by any form of interrupt or crowd control. Don’t allow them to cast Burst.
- Stagger killing the Surging Ruiners to prevent Overload stacking.
- Interrupt the Stormseeker Acolyte’s from casting Storm Bolt in the first intermission.
- Use offensive cooldowns during Stormsurge to break the shield faster.
- Kill the Seeking Stormlings before they reach the big add in the second intermission.
- Use Heroism/Bloodlust in the third phase. If you know this fight takes over 10 minutes for your group, you can also use this at the beginning of the fight.
Phase One
This takes place on the main platform. Have the tanks face Raszageth away from the group in the centre and have players be loosely grouped behind her. Some players will be Static Charged, which will require them to run away from the group into positions spread behind them. After the debuff explodes, it leaves behind a Static Field which will mitigate the pushback that follows.
She will cast Hurricane Wing, which causes high damage to the group, but also pushes them off the platform. Standing in front of, or in a Static Field will stop players from being pushed off the platform. These puddles do deal damage as well, so do not stand on them longer than you have to. Shortly before and after these push backs, she will also use a frontal cone dragon breath towards a random player. This is easy to see coming as she will turn around, but deadly if you do not move to the sides, so keep an eye on her.
The last ability in phase one to deal with is Volatile Current, which places circles on all players that cause damage and spawn a Volatile Spark. These sparks need any form of crowd control or interrupt on them to despawn them. Leaving them to cast Burst will cause heavy damage to the group and leave a stackable DoT that deals heavy damage every second for 30 seconds. Don’t let this happen or players will drop like flies.
Intermission One
During the intermission your group should have been assigned whether they go left or right. Stand ready to be knocked over to the smaller platforms on each side with your group and run to the first group of adds. These adds should be interrupted when possible and killed fast.
During this intermission Raszageth will fly overhead casting Lightning Devastation which deals deadly damage to anyone standing in the telegraphed area. Avoid this while killing all three groups of adds then use the teleporter to get to the next platform. Group up and prepare for Stormsurge.
Phase Two
Raszageth will form a large shield around herself that needs breaking within 25 seconds or it will wipe the raid. During this time she will deal ramping raid damage to the group. This ability coincides with all players receiving one of two buffs from Stormcharged. Players will either be negatively charged or positively charged. Players need to group with people of the same charge, while avoiding the other charge entirely. Doing so will increase their damage, healing and absorbs by 200%, which makes it possible to break through the shields.
The Volatile Currents are dealt with exactly the same as phase one, but have to be dealt with faster due to overlapping mechanics. She will use Tempest Wing which causes a ring of energy to slowly grow from the centre, dealing heavy damage and slightly knocking players back. Players need to use speed boosts or a warlock gate and run through the ring as fast as possible, to minimalize the damage this ring causes.
The last major ability in this phase is Fulminating Charge which slows the players affected by 75% and causes an explosion after 5 seconds, then jumps to the closest player. These start out as massive circles to avoid, and get smaller with each explosion. You should move the raid group away from these players as these players will struggle to get around due to the movement speed reduction.
Intermission Two
This intermission will have two Colossal Stormfiend enemies spawn that will deal AOE damage to the group and pulse out orbs of electricity as they attack. If one of these dies, the other one gains a 30% damage buff so killing these at the same time is preferred. Periodically these enemies will teleport somewhere on the platform and Seeking Stormlings will spawn where they teleported from. These small enemies will move towards the Colossal Stormfiend. If they reach it they will cast Fuse which heals it for 5% of it’s health and permanently increase it’s damage dealt by 25%. Cleave these down using slows and stuns so this doesn’t happen. Once they are both dead, all players need to move to the side of the platform where the first platform is, to be knocked back over to that for the final phase.
Phase Three
During this last phase there will be a cloud of electricity slowly closing in towards the centre, acting as a soft enrage. This cloud will slow players and deal damage to anyone who stands inside it. She will still use Tempest Wing and Fulminating Charge, these work exactly the same as they did in phase two but with slowly decreasing room to manoeuvre as this phase goes on.
It is vital that no player stands near to the current main tank during this phase due to Raszageth’s new tank buster Thunderous Blast. This is a frontal beam of energy that lasts for 2 seconds and then deals massive damage to the entire raid group based on the damage it deals to anyone it hits. This effectively means anyone getting hit who isn’t immune to damage will cause many deaths if not an entire wipe. This phase is so lethal it is almost always advised to use Heroism/Bloodlust here to give as little time as possible for something to go wrong.
