Detonation Seeds

Spawns multiple large green swirlies that deal huge damage and disorient players hit for six seconds.

Your priority is to dodge this at all costs. The Vile Lashers cannot be crowd-controlled or interrupted, so this cast will always go off.

Agitation

Self-cast that provides a stack of Enrage, increasing their damage by 50 percent. Can stack multiple times.

The Enrage buff can either be soothed or purged, but the Skitterflies are stunnable, so try to stop them from getting the cast off in the first place.

Darting Sting

Jump to and sting an enemy, dealing moderate Nature damage.

The most dangerous part of these packs, the Sting target can be struck by multiple Flies, and on high Mythic Plus keys, this can easily insta-kill you. Try to keep the Flies in place using crowd control and focus them down.

None

N/A

All these Lashers do is auto-attack, so they can effectively be ignored and cleaved down with the rest of the enemies.

Spawns three brown swirlies underneath players, that erupt after a few seconds, dealing Nature damage and spawning a Dormant Lasher.

Try to remain as stacked as possible, in order to effectively be able to burst down the Dormant Lashers.

Causes all Dormant Lashers to turn into Hungry Lashers, and inflicts AoE Nature damage to all players.

This is the most dangerous part, as the lashers inflict a stacking poison DoT onto the Tank, so try to crowd control and kill them quickly, or else make sure to dispell the DoT.

Causes an Ancient Branch to spawn at a player's location, amidst a large area of effect damage zone.

Dodge the large brown swirlie.

Healing Touch

Attempts to heal an Ally for a large amount.

Nuke down the Ancient Branch while keeping it interrupted.

Abundance

Upon death, creates a green cloud around itself, that explodes after a few seconds, healing all players and enemies and removing any stacks of Splinterbark.

It is imperative that you stack inside the Abundance cast to remove Splinterbark, so try to time the Branch's death to desync from the Germinate cast.

Upon spawning an Ancient Branch, inflicts a permanent Bleed effect onto all players, which can stack.

Anything that can remove Bleeds is great here, as it means you can avoid having to stack inside Abundance.

Large Tank hit, that leaves a Physical damage taken increase effect.

Use mitigation, especially if there are Hungry Lashers up.

Deadly Winds

Creates a swirling tornado at a nearby location that randomly moves around, stunning players hit and dealing large damage.

Try to bait the tornados away from the Sentry, as he can take a while to die, and you will have multiple up.

Storm Slash

Nature damage Tank buster.

Use a defensive to mitigate the damage.

Expel Intruders

Creates a large area of wind, that will inflict a huge knockback effect and deal high damage upon casting.

You can either run fully out of the area, or hide behind one of the pillars, in order to avoid taking the effects.

Gust

Frontal wind ability that does damage and knocks back.

Sidestep Gust.

Dive Bomb

The enemy will spawn in a small area of wind.

Easy enough to dodge.

Call of the Flock

A long cast that increases the attack speed of all nearby Eagles.

Make sure to interrupt this, as the Eagles can go from being extremely easy to deadly in a matter of seconds.

Peck

Stacking bleed effect.

Normally the Eagles should die quickly enough before this becomes an issue. If not, kite them around the platform.

Dive Bomb

The enemy will spawn in a small area of wind.

Dodge the blue swirlies.

Upon scoring three goals in the East goal, Crawth will become stunned for 12 seconds, and take 75 percent increased damage for the duration.

The best time to use damage cooldowns, as Crawth takes massively increased damage.

A Firestorm will then become active for the remainder of the fight.

Firestorm will deal massive damage to you but is easy to dodge unless Gale Force is currently active.

Upon scoring three goals in the West goal, tornados will begin to spawn on the platform, and Gale Force will constantly push all players around for the remainder of the flight.

On the edges of the arena spawn some grey motes that can be picked up for a large Haste buff and immunity to Gale Force for 20 seconds.

Inflicts large Nature damage to all players and causes damage to erupt around them in a small area.

Stay loosely spread to avoid clipping each other with the AoE.

Increases all players damage taken from Deafening Screech by 50 percent, stacking up.

This is dispelled upon scoring in either of the goals, so if the fight goes long, you can delay scoring your second goal in order to cleanse more stacks

Frontal gust attack that does massive damage and knocks back.

Fairly easy to sidestep, but be careful when the winds are blowing, so try to stay close to the boss.

Tank buster, that leaves a 10-second bleed.

Use active mitigation to lessen the damage.

Mana Void​​​​​​​

A small Arcane dot on a player that explodes for AoE damage and drains mana from nearby players.

Not especially notable if it is allowed to go off, but it is the priority interrupt on this enemy.

Surge

Single target ranged cast.

Save your interrupt for Mana Void instead, as Surge only does mediocre damage.

Severing Slash

Inflicts Physical damage to its target and a six-second Bleed.

The Bleed can be quite nasty, so make sure you have an appropriate defensive cooldown to survive.

Mystic Blast

Large AoE arcane blast to all players.

Interrupt Mystic Blast at all costs, this hits very hard on Fortified weeks, and should not be allowed to go off.

Arcane Rain

Channels Arcane Missiles at player locations for three seconds.

Arcane Rain is fine to let through, as the projectiles are dodgeable, albeit a bit difficult to see, due to their muted color.

Vicious Ambush​​​​​​​

Targets a player, before leaping to their location and immediately performing Riftbreath.

Most dangerous enemy of this section, the leap can be prevented using abilities such as Feign Death or Vanish​​​​​​​.

Riftbreath

Fires a high damage frontal Arcane beam; very deadly if you happen to be caught by it.

Once the Ravager has jumped, watch what direction the Riftbreath is faced in. The mob will not turn during the cast so position yourself beforehand.

Vicious Lunge

Low damage replica of Vicious Ambush.

A low priority enemy, nothing special.

Monotonous Lecture

Channels a lengthy Sleep effect onto the target player.

Kick this cast immediately. You do not want to be slept whilst Arcane Rains and Riftbreaths are going off around you.

Five orbs will spawn periodically at the edges of the room, and slowly move towards Vexamus. Absorbing an Orb applies Oversurge to the player, increasing damage taken by Arcane Orbs by 200 percent for 20 seconds.

Five orbs means one for each player, but your Healer can dispell the debuff, meaning ranged players can soak multiple and leaving the melee to continue damaging the boss. Soaking them quickly is handy to prevent overlaps with other mechanics, and avoid letting them reach Vexamus at all costs.

At 100 energy, Vexamus explodes, dealing damage to all players, pushing them back, and causing multiple fissures to erupt at their location.

Important to stay on the move, as the fissures explode quite rapidly after spawning, but they will only follow you for around three to four seconds.

Up to three players are targeted with a bomb, which leaves behind a pool of Corrupted Mana when it explodes.

Try to position yourself at the edge of the room with the bomb, to prevent leaving pools in the way of soaking an Arcane Orb.

Frontal beam of Arcane damage that targets and follows the highest aggro player.

Make sure to not turn Vexamus during this cast, and if there is an Arcane Orb coming in from that direction, let the Tank soak it.

Astral Whirlwind

A long channel that deals hefty damage to surrounding enemies.

Either move out of range, or use hard crowd-control to knock them out of this cast.

Astral Bomb

Imbues a random player with a bomb, that detonates after three seconds, dealing large damage to anything caught in the radius.

You can use this bomb to damage the enemies, which can significantly speed up this section, so try to keep an Invoker alive throughout these trash pulls.

Arcane Missiles

A channeled spell onto the current target, dealing moderate Arcane damage.

Make sure to interrupt this, as they will not do much auto-attack damage in comparison.

Celestial Shield

Places a shield upon an ally, absorbing damage and increasing their spell haste by 50 percent.

This cannot be interrupted, and will be cast at low health, so either DPS through it or Purge it from the enemies.

Every one of Doragosa's abilities will apply a stack, giving you five percent increase damage per stack. At three stacks, you will consume them to spawn an Arcane Rift at your location, which occasionally spits out Uncontrolled Energy.

The key to this fight is managing your stacks, keeping one or two for the extra damage will make it go a lot faster. If you are going to spawn an Arcane Rift, try to position it at the edges of room, as the Uncontrolled Energy orbs will become increasingly harder to avoid.

A frontal beam dealing high Spellfrost damage.

Dodge at all costs.

Afflicts a player with a delayed explosion, dealing Arcane damage around them.

Make sure you are not next to any other player when this explodes.

Sucks all players to her, and begins a long explosion cast, that deals huge Arcane damage to any player remaining inside.

This is the time to use any movement abilities, as you do not want to remain inside the explosion

Targets a random player with a burst of Arcane damage.

Not much can be done about this. Its main function is to apply Overwhelming Power stacks
