Vessel of Awakening

Add resurrection

Tank move far away from the raid to reduce damage

A barrage of ghosts shoot out in a line toward the tank. They explode on impact, with damage reduced by distance. The tank should move away from the raid. The raid must avoid being hit by any ghosts in the line as they shoot out, so everyone should stand behind the boss.

Possession Barrage

Fall off damage

Defeat the Echoes of Jawae to end the phase

Two mobs spawn on opposite sides of the room. Nek'zali is immune until they both are killed, which ends the phase.

Echo of Jawae

Boss immunity

Hungering Pyre

Soak

Burn as many skeleton corpses as possible.

Players who don't soak Hungering Pyre will get a DoT debuff, but on Heroic, this debuff will explode at the end. This explosion will destroy any corpses inside the circle.&nbsp; The tank soak will also cremate any corpses inside, so tanks should look to position it on some skeletons.
