BLACKFATHOM DEEPS GUIDE - SEASON OF DISCOVERY

[Music] hey guys I'm Jordy and this is your Guide to the 10-man sunken Temple beneath the shores of Ashen Vil the Twilight cultist infested black fathom deeps Who Dares disturb my meditation dust to dust now black fathom deeps is the first dungeon with major alterations in season of Discovery and oh boy it's a doozy the first half of the dungeon isn't so bad but Kellis and akumi the final two bosses are a real Step Up in difficulty from content up to this point and you'll need to know how to tackle them to get them down as far as raid comp goes the raid requires two tanks and two healers depending on your DPS you could Flex up a Healer if you're struggling but it's definitely not necessary okay so we're going to go Boss by boss and cover the first few pretty quick and spend some more time on the aforementioned later ones so keep up and we'll get through this first up Baron aquanis swimming around this room are various Naga and murlocs clear them and use these stones one at a time after your third you'll activate the boss and he'll become agreable you also notice there are some circling whirl pools these will force you down underwater so avoid them you also see these bubbles moving around underwater these give you a swim speed buff if for whatever reason you're down there swim over to them to help you get out of the water okay so the three stones are cleared now on to the boss he's actually stationary and won't move so don't worry about his positioning now his goal is to Chuck your raid into the water and bam Frost bolts at you until you're out of steam so you want to avoid him doing that he'll apply depth charge to a random raid member this is an 8-second debuff that once it expires will throw whoever is near the player back a good distance and likely into the water to avoid this we have whoever gets that debuff jump into the water wait for it to fall off and then run back up better one person than a bunch he'll also cast bubble beam this is a channel spell that he'll cast in front of him for 3 seconds turning slowly and knocking back anyone in front of him at a close range the melee just need to move behind him as he turns to avoid getting knocked down other than that just don't stand in the storm he summons and take him out not too bad okay moving on we arrive at gura he's also pretty easy but avoid his Patrol as you run in and clear all these neutral Turtles before pulling him once you're ready drag him to the center of the island and go crazy he'll quickly put up Aqua shell which makes him Invincible until you pop it it has 100 charges and he'll lose a charge for every instance of damage that your rate applies regardless of damage so you're going to want to hit him a bunch of times to remove it while it's up you'll see bits of his shell fly off and scatter around the room if you run over these you'll take a little bit of damage but also gain a significant chunk of Mana back so healers and casters can weigh whether you want to take this hit if you're looking to pick up some extra Mana once The Shield's about popped he'll Telegraph that his shell has begun to shatter and after a couple seconds we'll pop and everyone in the raid will take 700 damage it's super important The Raid is topped off for this because it will hurt once the shields are popped you can finally DPS the boss so hurry because he'll recast Aqua shell after a minute and you'll need to burn through it again so you want to take him out quickly one last thing he will Sunder his current Target increasing their damage taken by by 25% for each stack so after your tank Takes Two Stacks have your off tank taunt let it fall off and then taunt back no big deal okay not too bad let's move on to Lady SES now if I'm totally honest lady SES is the easiest fight in here I'm not entirely sure what she does because each time we've burned her down without worrying about her ad or anything she has a freezing Arrow that's interruptable so do that and a forked lightning that I think you'll want to face away from other people honestly this fight's just really easy just burn her down and ignore the ad finish it off after no problem okay on to some of the newer fun stuff Gast the murloc since you last met him he studied at the foot of azeroth's danst Shadow priests and now looks quite spooky clear the room and pull him to the center first he throws out a curse so make sure that you decurse it next he'll cast Shadow crash at a Target on the ground telegraphed by a big purple circle avoid it before it hits you the healers cannot afford to heal you through this avoidable damage next he'll randomly cast fear on a player so dispel it when you see it and like gamur ra he'll apply a debuff called Shadow strike to his current Target increasing their Shadow damage taken you want to tank swap around two or three stacks here to avoid the tank taking too much damage once he's close close to dead he'll get big and angry and run to his altar while he'll Channel a spell and begin healing to fall while he does this the purple murloc eggs around the room activate and summon an army of murlocs that will run around the room like crazy these murlocs don't turn but they do run in a bunch of different directions so you want to dodge these guys as best you can avoiding getting hit while also avoiding the purple circles on the ground we had some success of moving behind the purple legs which is where the merlock spawn so that you only had to watch one side but standing in the center of the room is fine so long as you're paying attention and good at dodging balls if you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball what any other questions okay so once he's done channeling the murloc start to disappear and the boss reactivates have your tank pick him up and continue doing the same thing again after the second murloc phase he'll summon a bunch of tentacles around the room with low HP everyone should turn and blast these as fast as you can interrupting their mind fls not too bad just be quick about it burn him down and voila Dead murlock all right after this we meet lorus jet this guy is immediately after a gauntlet of Naga and murlocs each waterfall unlocking a new wave until finally the boss at the end he's not too bad just watch what totems he drops of the three that he'll drop you're only ever going to kill the corrupted lightning Shield totem the other two Bolten Fury and wind Fury should just be ignored the lightning Shield will truck your physical DPS as they're pumping quickly into the boss and so they'll kill themselves from its damage so as soon as it spawns press Escape Swap and kill it before returning to the boss dog Dodge that molten Fury Fireball that rolls around and keep the tank up because the boss does have wind Fury but other than that he's not too bad okay so we clear this Temple of trash and meet the penultimate boss and definitely the most difficult in here Twilight Lord keris now this guy is no joke first let's talk about phase one his melee hits are pretty weak but he'll also cast mind blast a single Target Shadow damage spell and shadowy chains a version of chain lightning these can both be interrupted in phase one which lasts until 35% so work on getting as many of these as you can to mitigate damage taken note that in Phase 2 Sub 35% none of his spells can be kicked so you're going to want to save as much Mana as you can for then because things really do ramp up he'll also cast Shadow crash like Gast at a ranged player so you want to move around as a group to avoid these things while dpsing the boss it drops a purple Cloud on the ground that you'll need to avoid as well or you'll take damage if you're too close to it okay now the most important mechanic sleep 8 seconds into the fight he'll cast sleep on the two closest players to him these two will find themselves in the dream realm where they'll see the room is filled with visions of the past fantasmal priestesses that you must pull and DPS down to reveal their true form spooky tentacles now as far as we can tell each Priestess that you kill has a chance to spawn a portal that you can right click to take you back to the normal room we've seen it spawn with as few as two priestesses killed to as many as six so you want to kill them as fast as you can to reveal that portal use it and reunite with your Raid inside of this there are also invading nightmares little purple Elementals that appear where the corresponding Shadow crashes land that if killed look to reduce his damage in phase two I don't think dealing with this mechanic is necessary I would just avoid it and get back on the boss if for whatever reason you can't kill these priestesses fast enough and reveal a portal after long enough they'll aggro and try to kill you so work fast and get out of there once both players are out he'll recast sleep after 10 seconds so the next two closest players that aren't the first two that went down will get picked you can force who you want to go down by stacking on top of the boss and take turns to send people that you think are best suited for this we really liked a Mage and a Healer a rogue and one of the tanks while the other picks up the boss any combination so that you aren't taking too much damage off the boss but also have enough to deal with the priestesses warlocks are especially bad for this the priestesses seem to have high resistances to Magic so avoid using them okay so as we move around the room dropping Shadow crashes interrupting the boss and before we know it we're close to 35% at 35% he'll get real mad and buff himself with a damage increased buff and become uninterruptible as far as we can tell each invading nightmare inside the dream realm gives him a damage buff but it shouldn't matter just spread out because his shadowy chains will hurt if they bounce too high so melee tried to be in stacks of two as far from the boss while still attacking as possible and blast him hard hunter pets are valid chain targets here also so keep that in mind you want to DPS him super fast in this phase because he does a ton of damage if you're having trouble at 35% have the whole raid pop a shadow protection potion these will go a long way to mitigating a lot of that shadow damage and help you to survive to get him down okay well done down he goes We Touch those torches one at a time and clear this trash and then move into the final room and face akumi aumai has been a bit busy since we last saw him his eyes now glow with Menace and he's got a bunch of purple pearls and or eggs scattered about the room okay he's got two phases let's talk about the first in phase one we leave him where he's standing and all run in every so often he applies a debuff to his current Target called corrosion this does 50 damage every 3 seconds and stacks it's not dispellable outside of a specific way that we'll talk about in a second other than that every 20 seconds he'll Target a random player turn to them and start a 3C conal attack called corrosive blast this is the most important part of this fight you cannot get hit by this we have the raid in a tight cluster around the boss so that when he does start casting this you can immediately move to his left or right out of the cone to avoid it if you do get hit you'll quickly gain stacks of corrosion that you don't want to deal with so don't other than that as your tank gains stacks of corrosion they'll want to drag the boss toward one of the four water Elementals stationed around the room when they get close to it the water Elementals will siphon off some debuffs one at a time until they grow big and green and eventually become tainted and explode into a bunch of corrosive droplets these need to be picked up by your tank and killed by your raid one will spawn for each stack of corrosion that's cleansed on your tank we opt to have the tank go in around three or four Stacks to get cleansed and then we pre-move the boss near the next cleansing Elemental killing the little guys and being ready to cleanse again when the time comes all the while the raid needs to be avoiding corrosive blast one thing to note here once the circle around the elemental becomes poisoned it will now apply a corrosion stack every second to anyone standing on it so make sure no one wanders Too Close you can't afford those extra Stacks okay around 50% he'll run to where he was standing when you pulled him get big Angry and purple and start his shadow phase this is where everything changes ideally you've not phased them into phase two with ads up but if so clean them up quick and then start in on the boss all right so now instead of poison things happening we have Shadow things he'll still do the breath but this time it's called void blast we need to avoid it the exact same way we did the corrosive one in Phase One additionally if you're hit by him and the void blast you'll get stacks of a debuff called Shadow seep each stack lowers your max HP by 10% and increases your Shadow damage taken by 25% for the tanks anything over two is really difficult to heal through so we're going to look to avoid stacking it much higher than three before either cleansing it or tank swapping speaking of tank swapping here's what I'm going to recommend you do for this phase rather than running to the Elementals to cleanse this debuff and spawn ads that you need to kill we recommend you let your tank get three stacks and then having your off tank taunt him from there they'll take three and ideally by then the boss is dead if you don't have the DPS you can consider having your first tank go to cleanse themselves before running back in and taunting off of your main tank but don't DPS the ads just burn the boss and go for the dub if you had enough DPS he'll go down and you'll be able to collect that sweet sweet loot congrats on clearing BFD the first updated raid for season of Discovery and a strong promise of more to come okay wait don't turn off just do me a huge favor and like And subscribe before you go I'll have a bunch of season of Discovery content coming in the future with more
