Antorus, the Burning Throne Boss Guides » Felhounds of Sargeras Guide
Felhounds of Sargeras is a boss in the Antorus, the Burning Throne raid in World of Warcraft. Our strategy guide will help you to defeat the Felhounds of Sargeras encounter and the loot listing below contains all of the loot he drops on each difficulty.
Overview
Felhounds of Sargeras are the second boss in the raid, with both bosses active. In general, fire abilities are best handled by spreading, while shadow abilities require stacking. Abilities cast are directly related to the bosses power bar, which fills at varying rates.
Heroic Changes
- F’harg will periodically cast Molten Touch, which stuns and drags a random target towards him, while ejecting puddles of flames throughout the encounter area and stacking a fire damage dot on them.
- Shatug will periodically cast Weight of Darkness, which progressively slows a random target, after which they are feared for 20 seconds, unless there are at least 3 players in their vacinity.
- Heroic specific mechanics and abilities will be marked with
throughout the guide.
Strategy and Positioning
- The raid should be positioned halfway between the two bosses, with the melee attacking Shatug.
- The bosses will cast special abilities at 33, 66, and 100% energy.
- The energy bars do not fill at steady rates, which creates some difficult ability overlaps.
Shatug
- 33% - Consuming Sphere: Run away from it, because it deals proximity damage. Movement speed cooldowns such as Stampeding Roar are great in this situation.
- 66% - Weight of Darkness: People who are affected by the debuff should stack with at least two other players to split the damage and negate the fear. Immunities, or fear breaking abilities can also be used to solo it.
- 100% - Siphon Corruption: During this ability, players in the raid will be periodically affected with Siphoned, which causes them to pulse Shadow damage that splits with nearby targets. It is best to stack up during this, making it easier for healers to keep everyone alive.
F’harg
- 33% - Desolate Gaze: A few players in the raid will be marked, creating a line of fire. It is best to move out of the group when this ability happens, and avoid overlapping multiple lines.
- 66% - Molten Touch: Stunned players will shoot fire circles throughout the room, which need to be avoided. It is best to be spread during this ability making it easier to notice when there is fire under you.
- 100% - Enflame Corruption: Players in the raid will be affected with Enflamed, which i best handled by either moving away from other players raid prior to the debuff expiring, or the raid being pre spread, making it less likely that multiple players will clip each other with the ability.
