Strategy Guide
Controlling and killing the swarm is the focus of this fight. Focus on clearing any swarm out before switching to the boss with 3 stacks of Recklessness.
Dodge the Wind Bombs and Whirling Blades.
Recklessness is the most important heroic change in this fight, and proper management of add death timing is key to killing the boss before encountering too many mechanics.
On pull, all 3 Amber-Trappers should be CC'd using spells such as Freezing Trap or the Impaling Spears from the weapon racks.
The raid should focus on killing the Battle Menders as fast as possible to give Wind Lord the Recklessness buff.
The Blademasters should be dying at the same time as the Recklessness buff is running out.
Hold all Offensive Cooldowns for when the first add wave dies, press Bloodlust, and try to kill the boss in the first two Recklessness buff windows.
45 seconds after a group of warriors dies, Reinforcements will come to replace them. Have the Tank pick these up and focus on killing the boss.
This fight only has one phase. At 75% health, he starts using Wind Bombs.
EVERYONE
DODGE THE BLADE
A boomerang-like Whirling Blade is thrown out, dealing massive Physical damage to anyone in the blade's path.
Once the blade reaches its duration, it will return to Wind Lord, dealing the same damage.
If hit by the initial throw, make sure to move out of the direction of its return to avoid death.
RANGED SPREAD
AVOID BOMBS
Upon reaching 75%, Wind Lord will start to throw Wind Bombs at random Ranged players. The initial damage for these has a 5 yard splash, so being spread out is important.
3 seconds after the bomb has landed, it will arm itself and explode, dealing massive Nature damage to the entire raid if walked into. They will persist until Wind Lord is dead or they are triggered.
Players must avoid these at all cost.
HEALERS
USE COOLDOWNS
Wind Lord rains blades down across the raid, inflicting moderate Physical damage to all players. Healer Cooldowns should be used during this.
These Spears can be picked up off the weapon to stun a member of the swarm for 50 seconds, breaking on any damage taken.
The swarm is watched by Wind Lord, preventing you from CCing all his minions.
On Heroic, this is capped at 3 only. You should aim to CC all the Amber-Trappers on pull, reapplying any CC before the boss dies.
Quickening will buff the rest of the swarm, giving them a stacking 35% damage done and melee attack speed increase.
This can be dispelled, and priests should use Mass Dispel as soon as these casts finish.
The Menders will attempt to heal their allies. These casts need to be interrupted.
Wind Lord will gain a buff, Recklessness, for every group of mobs that die. This buff gives a stacking 50% damage done and 33% damage taken.
One group should be killed at a time to get Recklessness ramping as early as possible.
The general strategy is to first focus down the Battle Menders, then the Blademasters, and finally the Amber Trappers.
The Trappers should be kept CC'd as long as possible while fighting the other groups.
On Heroic, Recklessness has a fixed duration of 30 seconds, but increases Wind Lords damage taken by 600%.
The swarm should be killed in the same order, but with focus on not killing the second group until the Recklessness buff from the death of the first group has ended.
Ranged will be targeted and covered in Resin, giving them 5 stacks of a debuff that deals mild Nature damage per second per stack.
Players can drop the stacks by moving, but note that each dropped stack causes a Corrosive Resin Pool.
Aim to clear your stacks and drop the pools as fast as possible while not being near other players.
A random player and all around them within 2 yards are imprisoned in Amber.
Make sure to spread properly to avoid too many players getting hit.
Other players in the raid will have to click on your prison to get you out, but will gain the Residue debuff, meaning they cannot free anyone else for the next 2 minutes.
The Blademasters synchronise, focusing on one target and striking towards them in unison.
This deals massive Physical damage and should be mitigated with a Defensive Cooldown.
