Drest'agath

General Strat

  • The rhythm of the fight is kill adds -> adds drop puddles -> puddles let you dps boss -> back on adds when puddle debuff is gone. Dps will likely be assigned as a bossboi or assigned specific tentacles to deal with.
  • Most of the fight will be spent avoiding things under your feet, avoiding the large Void Glare beam from the boss and Eye adds, and juggling which target you are dpsing. These assignments will be more clear on launch as hp/threat to raid is not certain yet.
  • Tanks will be targeted with Volatile Seed. They will need to run over to a tentacle that needs help going down as any tentacles hit by the Volatile Seed's explosion take 60% more damage. This can also hit players though so don’t stand in their swirly.
  • Player will be targeted by Mutterings of Insanity. This is a large swirly zone that slows the target over 5s then exploding on anyone near them. Run out away from any tentacles.
  • On mythic, killing an add triggers the special ability of that add on all others of the same type that are still up. Might need to kill all the same type at the same time or just avoid the mechanics.
  • To dps the large Tentacle of Drest’agath, you need to be in the circle surrounding them. (Similar to bombs on jadefire masters). Melee will mostly deal with these since ranged cannot dps anything other than the tentacle while in the cloud surrounding it.
  • The Eyes of Drest’agath and the Maws of Drest’agath spawn far from the boss and beam/spit on random players. Ranged will primarily deal with these as they spawn spread out.
  • The Maws of Drest’agath will spit on players near melee (10 yards), applying a stacking debuff and a heal absorb on them. At 4 stacks, the player becomes hostile. Melee needs to avoid dpsing the maws for too long.
  • As we kill Drest’agath’s Appendages, it gains agony. At 100 agony the boss deals aoe raid damage every 2s for 10s. Managing what adds we do and do not kill may be important for timing heal cds with max agony.
