Overview

- Number of Enemies: 1 boss, 1 priority add, several non-priority adds.

- Notable Abilities: Arcanado Burst, Radiant Fury, Tide Fist, Arcane Bomb, Unshackled Power, Squall Trap, Ancient Tempest, Gale Buffet
Fight Basics (Normal and Heroic)
Phase 1
- During this encounter, entering the pool of water around the boss will cause Radiant Fury. Avoid entering the pool.
- The boss will mark where several players stand with Arcanado Burst.
- Shortly after, tornados will spawn from these locations. Tornados knockback and deal heavy damage.
- Tornados will despawn 15-20 seconds after they spawn.
- The raid should slowly move around the platform together, to avoid these Tornados as much as possible.
- When affected by Arcane Bomb, move away and get dispelled.
- Every 15-20 seconds, the boss will cast Unshackled Power and deal burst damage to the raid.
- Phase one lasts until the boss reaches full energy, which is approximately 1 min 45 seconds.
Phase 2
- The boss will summon several Squall Traps in lines across the encounter area.
- Touching a trap will knockback any players near it, deal damage, and spawn a tornado.
- The boss will cast Ancient Tempest which creates a storm in the encounter area, limiting visibility and reducing the damage it takes by 99%.
- Before the encounter area goes dark due to the storm, a Stormwraith add will spawn. This is a priority add.
- Players must make their way to this add quickly and interrupt its cast before it completes or it is a wipe.
- The area around the add is a safe zone from the storm.
- Once interrupted, the add will need to be tanked on one side of the safe zone, with the raid stacked behind it.
- The Stormwraith will perform Gale Buffet which knocks players back.
- Being pushed out into the storm can be deadly.
- Stormlings will occasionally spawn as you fight the Stormwraith, they should be stunned, interrupted and cleaved down with AoE.
- Defeating the Stormwraith ends the storm, and Phase 1 begins again. Repeat this process until the boss is defeated.
- On Heroic difficulty and higher, Arcane Bombs will take place during Phase 2, and Squall Traps will not despawn when Phase 2 ends.
Strategies by Role
All Roles
- Move away from others when debuffed with Arcane Bombs.
- If you raid is moving as a group, do not spawn tornados in the path you are moving.
- Do not blindly run through Squall Traps in Phase 2.
- Aim to trigger only one Squall Trap per line.
DPS
- Take talents and essences for single target damage. The AoE portion of the fight is extremely minimal.
- Do not interrupt the Stormwraith until the majority of the raid has reached the safe zone. It must be tanked.
- Healthstones and Health Potions are useful during the Ancient Tempest if low HP, or after being hit by a Tornado.
Healers
- Be sure you can see Arcane Bomb on your raid frames. It must be dispelled.
- Avoid instantly dispelling players, give them time to run out of the raid.
- Tanks will take heavy damage when hit with Tide Fist.
- Tanks will taunt swap when debuffed with Tide Fist.
- If a tank debuffed with Tide Fist ever takes a second, they will need massive externals and personals to survive.
- Moving to the safe zone during Ancient Tempest is the most dangerous portion of the encounter, and most likely to result in dead raid members.
Tanks
- Taunt swap after every Tide Fist.
- You can not take two in a row without massive personal cooldowns and externals.
- Only one tank needs to tank the Stormwraith in Phase 2.
