Quick read

- Tail Thrash goes on the tank and is not dangerous
dpshealSpit Gold targets 2 random players, use a defensive if needed and drop the puddles this creates near existing ones if possible, as they turn into Animated Gold when Lucre's Call is cast. Cleave these blobs down, using slows and CCs to prevent them from empowering the boss

- Drop the Burn Corruption puddles away from the boss and the sarcophagi
- Top the group for Awakening Slam, then cleave the mummies and interrupt Wretched Discharge
- After Entomb spread out and find the sarcophagus that is shaking
dpshealmoveDrain Fluids channels into a random player, avoid the circles this creates and if targeted use a defensive or combat drop to stop the channel. If it does fully channel, healers should make sure to push the target's health above 90% to remove their debuff.
dpshealBurn Corruption targets a random player, drop these fire puddles away from the boss and sarcophagi so they don’t block your path.
dpskickMake sure players are topped for Awakening Slam, then cleave down the two Half-Finished Mummy mobs this spawns while keeping an interrupt on their Wretched Discharge cast.
tankdpshealEntomb locks a random player into one of the four sarcophagi around the room, quickly spread out to find which one they are shaking to prevent the boss from summoning additional mummy mobs.

TBossThe Council of Tribes
Quick read
- Kula the Butcher: dodge Whirling Axes, cleanse or heal through Severing Axe
- Aka'ali the Conqueror: group up for the Barrel Through soak - it keeps coming after she dies
- Zanazal the Wise: interrupt Poison Nova, Arc Lightning always cleaves off the tank
- Kill the totems in order: Explosive, Thundering, Torrent
healdispelSevering Axe targets a random player, use a bleed cleanse or defensive if needed, otherwise focus healing into the target.
moveAvoid the initial AoE and spinning projectiles created by Whirling Axes. I recommend tanking Kula in the centre of the arena, as this ability continues to be cast from the location of her body after her defeat.
tankdpshealsoakMake sure to group up in a safe spot for the Barrel Through soak, and keep in mind this is still cast after Aka’ali is defeated.
tankhealkiteTanks beware of the Debilitating Backhand knockback and debuff, either kiting until it goes away or using a large defensive to survive the damage amp.
healkickHealers beware of the group damage caused by Arc Lightning, which always cleaves off the tank. Everyone else should watch for the Poison Nova cast and make sure to interrupt it.
dpsWhen Call the Elements is cast swap to the Explosive Totem first, then the Thundering Totem, and finally the Torrent Totem.

Shadow of Zul

- healShadow Barrage targets random players, use defensives if this overlaps with other damage

- dpspurgemoveDark Revelation targets 2 players, move away from your group to prevent cleave and purge or focus the Minions of Zul that spawn from them
BossDazar, the First King
Quick read
- Focus Reban down before the boss mounts T'zala at 80%
- Spread for Aerial Smash - mounted it becomes Quaking Leap on 4 players with extra AoE
- Tanks: defensive for Blade Combo, and point the boss away during Gilded Destruction
- Dodge the Impaling Spear circles the whole fight
On pull the boss summons Reban, then at 80% he gets empowered as he mounts T’zala, who he also shares an Eternal Bond with. I recommend focusing Reban initially to remove the extra mechanics before the boss is empowered.
tankkickmoveTanks watch your positioning as Reban will use Hunting Leap to jump to you and do a frontal through your position which everyone should avoid. Reban also attempts to cast Deathly Roar which you should keep interrupted.
dpshealmoveAerial Smash targets two players, spread out and avoid cleaving allies. When mounted this ability is changed to Quaking Leap, which now targets 4 players and does additional AoE damage that the healer needs to prepare for. This effect can also be cancelled by combat drops if you are the furthest target, which is very useful to reduce group damage.
tankhealdispelTanks be ready with a defensive for the Blade Combo buster, which ramps up over the short channel. When mounted T’zala will use Savage Maul just before the combo, so be ready for this additional damage and use a bleed cleanse if needed.
tankhealMake sure to have healing ready for the Gilded Destruction AoE, and tanks remember to point the boss away from your group for the duration as this causes the bosses melee swings to frontal.
dpshealdispelmoveThroughout the fight watch out for the Impaling Spear circles and if hit use defensives or bleed cleanses to reduce the damage.
