Vezax
Summary
- Vezax will have
Aura of Despair throught the encounter. - Interrupt
Searing Flames. - Avoid
Shadow Crash. - Caster DPS go into the energy field left behind from Shadow Crash.
- Ranged stay spread out to mitigate damage from
Mark of the Faceless. This will also heal Vezax. - When Vezax casts
Surge of Darkness, you can start to kite him to avoid the damage, or use raid cooldowns and heal through it. - Kill the
Saronite Vapors and stand in the green puddle to regain mana if you need it. Be careful not to stand in it too long as it drains your life.
Notes
- Priests and Paladins can use
Prayer of Shadow Protection and 
Shadow Resistance Aura to help with the Shadow Damage throughout the encounter. - Discipline Priests’
Power Word: Shield power won’t get reduced inside the energy field left by Shadow Crash since it’s a shield.
Summary Hard Mode
- Hard Mode is activated by keeping 6 Saronite Vapors alive. You may need to stop DPS on Vezax to wait for all 6 to spawn.
- The 6 Saronite Vapors will merge into a Saronite Animus.
- Vezax will gain
Saronite Barrier, so all DPS will need to burn down the Saronite Animus. - Saronite Animus will be constantly casting
Profound Darkness, so the longer this phase lasts, the harder it will become on the healers. - Aim to use raid cooldowns on the back half of this phase, as well as
Bloodlust. - After defeating the Saronite Animus, Vezax will lose Saronite Barrier.
-
Shadow Crash will be lethal at this point in the fight because you will still have stacks of Profound Darkness.
- Healers must be extremely careful with there mana in the first phase of this fight because they will not be able to gain any mana from the Saronite Vapors.
Notes
- Priests and Paladins can use Prayer of Shadow Protection and Shadow Resistance Aura to help with the Shadow Damage throughout the encounter.
