Maut
General Strat
- Maut will be tanked in mid with the raid somewhat stacked near him.
- Devour Magic debuffs will go on a few players who will need to move out just outside the raid and drop their pools. These pools need to be around 30+ yards away from the boss but not so far as to be unreachable as we need to use them for several mechanics.
- When Maut casts Stygian Annihilation, everyone needs to step inside of the pools from Devour Magic to be immune to magic damage. It is a 5s cast and you should step into a pool in the last 1-2s.
- Dark Manifestation sucks players towards it (try to stay near mid) then spawns a Dark Manifestation add. This add needs to be picked up by the offtank. It will be tanked near a Devour Magic pool to dip in when it casts Dark Offering.
- Magic damage does no damage to the Dark Manifestation while it is in a Devour Magic pool. If the add gets too close to maut, it will give him a ton of mana depending on what the adds’ mana level is at. This will be used to push the boss into P2.
- Dodge Black Wings when the boss turns to face you and watch your back as you don’t want to get knocked into a puddle if you are just taking it to the face. In PTR Black Wings was targeted towards melee. Melee should be on the opposite side of the boss to ranged.
- In mythic, several players will get an Ancient Curse which can either be decursed or removed by jumping in a Devour Magic pool. This deals small damage to the raid when removed and kills you if you forget to remove it.
P2 - 100% Mana
- Begins when the boss reaches 100% mana. We need to burn all of that mana before Maut finishes his Obsidian Shatter cast.
- Players will get a dispellable Drain Essence debuff which needs to be ran out of the group and dispelled asap.
- The raid will stack near the boss and the tanks + orb soakers will run out to grab the Orbs that head toward him. These Orbs need to be popped far from the boss, close to where they spawn. After popping an orb, you will have a debuff that will give anyone near you mana and bonus healing so make sure you hit the raid with it after 6s of popping the orb.
