Mistweaver Strategy

  • Getting hit by Leaxa causes Taint of G’huun, a stacking healing absorb that can only be expelled by healing through it. Prioritize targets with this debuff and avoid stacking too much of it yourself by avoiding as many of her abilities as possible.
  • Sidestep the Creeping Rot orb that Leaxa sends out.
  • When the Blood Effigy has spawned after Leaxa has cast Blood Mirror, the tank will have increased risk of being hit by the Blood Bolt from both Leaxa and Blood Effigy, unless interrupted. Be prepared for heavier tank damage.
  • HeroicHEROIC: Leaxa will jump to a random player and cast Sanguine Feast, which you should run out of to avoid being hit by.
  • HeroicMYTHIC: Blood Mirror will spawn an additional Blood Effigy.
  • HeroicMYTHIC: Blood Effigy will also be able to cast Sanguine Feast if left unchecked.

  • The Unbound Abomination cannot take damage due to Blood Barrier.
    • The only way to make the boss lose health is to damage it until it converts enough damage into Blood Energy. At 100 energy he will spawn a couple of Blood Visages. Killing these adds will take away 17% of the boss’s health.
    • You need to kill 6 adds to defeat the encounter.
  • Sidestep the Abomination’s frontal cone Vile Expulsion, and avoid the Pools of Expulsion that is left in its wake.

  • HeroicHEROIC: Pools of Expulsion will sometimes coalesce into Rotting Spore that fixates on a random player. Reaching the player causes an explosion and another patch of Pool of Expulsion.
