Azshara’s Eternal Palace Guide: Entrance, Loot Table, Bosses

Preferred Classes:

• Tanks: Any tank class with strong mitigation and mobility to handle Crushing Reverberation and Frostvenom Tipped.
• Healers: Healers with strong AoE healing capabilities (e.g., Holy Paladin, Restoration Shaman) to manage raid-wide damage from Unstable Mixture and Overflow.
• DPS: Ranged DPS are preferred for easier positioning during Overwhelming Barrage and Frostshock Bolts. Melee DPS must be careful with Crushing Reverberation and Overflow placement.

Tips:

1. Chimeric Marks:
   • Split the raid into two groups: Frost Mark on the left, Toxic Brand on the right.
   • Avoid triggering Unstable Mixture by staying away from players with the opposite mark.
   • Reset stacks by triggering Unstable Mixture if stacks exceed 5-6.
2. Overflow:
   • Move away from the group to drop Frozen Ground or Septic Ground pools.
   • Avoid placing pools behind the raid to prevent knockbacks into them.
3. Crushing Reverberation:
   • Stack with players who share your mark to split damage.
   • Be aware of knockback and avoid landing in pools.
4. Overwhelming Barrage:
   • Stand on the side of the boss that matches your mark to avoid opposing bolts.
   • Healers should prepare cooldowns for raid-wide damage.
5. Frostshock Bolts:
   • Have a player with the opposite mark soak the bolt to prevent Unstable Mixture.
   • Quickly remove the bolt to free the stunned player.
6. Inversion:
   • Spread 4+ yards before Inversion to avoid spreading marks.
   • Move to the correct side after your mark changes.

Strategy:

• Initial Setup:
  • Split the raid into two groups based on their Chimeric Marks.
  • Tanks should position the boss in the center, with the raid on either side.
• Overflow Management:
  • Players with Overflow should move to designated areas to drop pools.
  • Avoid overlapping pools to maximize usable space.
• Crushing Reverberation:
  • Tanks should taunt swap at 4-6 stacks of Frostvenom Tipped.
  • Move away from the group to drop Frozen Ground or Septic Ground pools.
• Overwhelming Barrage:
  • Players should position themselves on the side of the boss that matches their mark.
  • Dodge bolts by moving into the path of already-fired bolts.
• Frostshock Bolts:
  • Assign players to soak bolts with the opposite mark.
  • Quickly remove the bolt to free the stunned player.
• Inversion:
  • Spread out before Inversion to avoid spreading marks.
  • Move to the correct side after your mark changes.
