Eye of Azshara Mythic+ Guide

Instance Breakdown

Recommended Comp for high keys: It’s useful to have a few interrupts for the Hatecoil Arcanists but it’s not essential. AoE DPS is particularly strong in Eye of Azshara, as are executes (for the final boss).
Instance Timer: 35:00
Average # Mobs per pack: 3.5

Bosses

  • Warlord Parjesh

    Absolute Murder… in fish form

    Eye of Azshara: Warlord Parjesh

    Dungeon Journal+

    Impaling Spear   Single Target   Physical   Debuff   Dodgeable

    Throw Spear   Single Target   Physical   Debuff   

    Crashing Wave   AoE   Frost   Avoidance   Dodgeable

    Quicksand   Ground   Dodgeable

    Call Reinforcements   Summon

    Bellowing Roar (Hatecoil Shellbreaker)   AoE   Physical   Avoidance   Interruptable

    Lightning Strike (Hatecoil Crestrider)   Single Target   Nature

    Restoration (Hatecoil Crestrider)   AoE   Heal   Interruptable

     

    You should know

    • You need to stand behind an enemy hatecoil minion when Impaling Spear is being cast so that they get hit instead of you. Beware that on high keys the spear alone might not be enough to kill the add and you might need to add a little damage of your own to make sure it doesn’t rejoin the fight. DoTs are usually plenty if you have any.
    • Quicksand covers any location that Parjesh charges through during Crashing Wave. The tank should position the charge so that it takes up as little room as possible and melee should give the boss some space since it can hit you even if you are standing behind him. This both minimizes the chance of somebody getting hit by the wave and maximises the amount of space you have to work with. If you drop Quicksand everywhere your DPS will also have trouble kiting the Impaling Spear through one of the Hatecoil minions.
    • You must interrupt every Restoration cast before it starts healing. Similarly the tank should be interrupting every Bellowing Roar cast since it can be lethal when combined with the ticking damage from Throw Spear. Lightning Strike is a much lower priority.
    • It is usually best to cleave down the Shellbreakers (melee fish) and Impale the Crestriders (healing caster fish).
  • Lady Hatecoil

    The punishment for kicking your friend into the water during Static Nova is a lifetime of Lower Kara keys

    Eye of Azshara: Lady Hatecoil

    Dungeon Journal+

    Static Nova   AoE   Nature   Avoidance   Dodgeable

    Focused Lightning   AoE   Nature   Avoidance

    Curse of the Witch   Single Target   Dispellable

    Beckon Storm   Summon

     

    You should know

    • You need to spread out during the Focused Lightning cast since Excess Lightning is a heavy punish for stacking. For 22+ tyrannical keys put on a couple pieces of Avoidance gear to avoid it one shotting you. Tank trinkets with on-use damage reduction can also be very useful if you’re playing a squishier class (sorry, hunters).
    • Focused Lightning also destroys any sand dunes you’re standing on.
    • I’d recommend a weak aura for a countdown on the Curse of the Witch. It often expires during the Static Nova cast and can be dangerous if you’re facing the wrong way. The blast does kill any Saltsea Globules that have popped up and you should do this when it’s convenient but it’s not a huge priority.
    • The boss will wreck you if you try to leave her little arena. Attempting this is not recommended.
    • Try and stay away from the Globules when they die. The damage is not dangerous, but the slow can cost you some DPS time if you’re a melee who has to run to a sand dune early. Healers shouldn’t feel the need to dispel this.
  • Serpentrix

    Aww, look at that face

    Eye of Azshara: Serpentrix

    Dungeon Journal+

    Poison Spit   AoE   Nature   Avoidance   Dodgeable

    Toxic Wound   Ground   Nature   Dodgeable

    Submerge   Summon

    Rampage   

    Blazing Nova (Blazing Hydra Spawn)   AoE   Fire   Avoidance   Interruptable

    Arcane Blast (Arcane Hydra Spawn)   Single Target   Arcane   Interruptable

     

    You should know

    • Poison Spit and Toxic Wound are both 100% dodgeable with smart movement though when you’re just fighting Serpentrix you might choose to stand in the Poison Spit to maximise DPS time (consult your healer).
    • Any damage the Hydra Spawns take is copied to Serpentrix so they’re always worth killing.
    • During the submerge transitions I’d recommend sending two DPS to the Arcane hydra and one to the Blazing hydra. The Arcane hydra deals +50% damage for every successful cast and this gets uncomfortable quickly. The tank should head to Serpentrix and interrupt the Rampage. While rampaging the boss casts Poison Spit every 0.5 seconds and while it’s avoidable it’s expensive to dodge from a DPS perspective.
  • King Deepbeard

    I actually wrote this guide during a King Deepbeard fight. It’s that damn long.

    Eye of Azshara: King Deepbeard

    Dungeon Journal+

    Quake  AoE   Physical   Avoidance   

    Gaseous Bubbles   Single Target   Debuff   

    Call the Seas   AoE   Frost   Dodgeable

    Ground Slam   AoE   Physical   Avoidance   Dodgeable

    Frenzy   LowHP Enrage

     

    You should know

    • Quake deals additional damage to anyone within 5 yards of you. Make sure you are at least that far apart. Four seconds after the quake all pre-existing quakes will erupt again dealing significant damage (this is called Aftershock in the combatlog).
    • Gaseous Bubbles is a buff placed on you that will absorb a significant amount of damage over up to 20 seconds. If you don’t deplete the shield within 20 seconds it’ll deal damage to your entire party equal to how much shield was left. So if you’re a bit slack and still have a 1 million absorb left then you’ve caused 5 million across your party. The best way to remove the bubble is to follow around the blue ground effects caused by Call the Seas. Quake will also give you a helping hand but I’d recommend you don’t try to remove it with Ground Slam or Aftershock since they’ll likely kill you on a high key.
    • This is a very long fight with a lot of easy to avoid but lethal mechanics. Stay spread out, remove your shields, stay out of aftershock, avoid pulling any seagulls and he shouldn’t cause you too many issues.

     

    Advanced

    • You can pull the snail near Deepbeard during the fight on non-bolstering weeks for extra damage and a little extra trash percentage. Affliction Warlocks in particular are big benefactors since you get extra shards from your Agony on the poor gastropod.
    • You can run Sephuz’s Secret and pop your CC on either the snail or the tiny crab critters found throughout his room for a high uptime.

     

  • Wrath of Azshara

    If you look closely, the boss has a night elf inside

    Eye of Azshara: Wrath of Azshara

    Dungeon Journal+

    Heaving Sands   Single Target   Physical   Avoidance   

    Mystic Tornado   Ground   Arcane   Dodgeable

    Massive Deluge   Ground   Frost   Dodgeable

    Crushing Depths   AoE   Physical   Avoidance?

    Arcane Bomb   AoE   Arcane   Debuff   Dispellable

    Lightning Strike (Phase 2 only)   AoE   Nature   Dodgeable

    Tidal Wave (Phase 2 only)   Ground   Frost   Dodgeable

     

    You should know

    • Using heroism in phase 1 is better for the timer since there is less movement, but phase 2 (sub 10%) is more dangerous so popping it then gives you a better chance of killing the boss. Decide based on how much time you have left.
    • In late phase 2 you might want to consider sacrificing the Crushing Depths target to preserve overall party health. It can also be removed with Blessing of Protection if you’re running with a paladin and if you have a full immunity you should use it.
    • You don’t need to spread out very far. Your healer has a 40 yard range but most AoE heals start to lose effectiveness past 30 yards. Stick together.
    • Every spell you get hit by will give you a stack of Magic Resonance or Frost Resonance increasing the damage you take from that school for the rest of the fight.

     

    Advanced

    • Despite what Crushing Depths says on the tooltip it actually deals damage to each player based on their own maximum HP (not the maximum HP of the Crushing Depths target). This doesn’t change the strategy (stack people in, or sacrifice them) but does eliminate Weapon swap macros and the like.
