Adventure Journal[]
The harbinger for the end of days, Za'qul shreds the last vestiges of sanity from a world in chaos, laying the foundation of Azeroth's new master.
Overview[]
At health percentages, the Herald assaults the players' minds, pulling them deeper into realms of insanity. While players are in these insanity realms, they continually gain stacks of [Hysteria]. The further they dive into these realms, the faster it stacks. Each realm employs its own method of assaulting players' minds. Within the fear realm, players continually spawn Horrific Visions that inflict additional stacks of [Hysteria]. Within the delirium realm, everyone becomes hostile but has their haste increased. After all realms have opened, Za'qul gains empowered versions of his abilities that allow the players to move between realms in order to combat his mechanics.
Damage Dealers:
- Defeat Horrific Summoners before the raid becomes overwhelmed.
- Defeat Horrific Visions before they inflict too many stacks of [Hysteria].
Healers:
- Dispell allies effected by [Dementia].
- Dispell allies effected by [Manic Dementia].
Tanks:
- Use damage reduction cooldowns when under the effect of [Mind Tether].
- Move the boss into [Maddening Eruptions] to prevent the raid from taking damage.
