FIGHT OVERVIEW
  • At 100 energy the boss spawns adds. Upon death, they knock back the raid.

  • Tornadoes spawn and don't disappear. The room will become increasingly cluttered over time.

MYTHIC CHANGES
  • Dathea doesn't spawn the "upon death bumping big adds" anymore. 5 are already present and dormant on her platform. You have to "fully charge" them by passing your electric DoT debuff to them 10 times.

  • The electric DoT Debuff doesn't fade anymore. Your only way to remove it now is to transfer it to a dormant add (= charge it). You still spread the debuff to nearby players and you still don't want that.

  • Charging an add triggers a burst of damage on the raid and a stacking 4s DoT. You should drop your charges by groups of 2 to keep up with the rythm of the fight. Don't go over 3 stacks.

  • When the very first marks are applied by the boss on players, you should have one player duplicate 2 marks to charge the first add faster. Otherwise don't spread them.

  • When you activate an add (by fully charging it to 10 stacks), it clears all the existing charges on other dormant adds.

PHASE

Single phase fight with adds that spawn periodically.

Conductive Mark
Instant Cast

Works the same as in the previous difficulties, but doesn't expire anymore.


You must instead pass it to a dormant add, charging it. When an add is charged at 10 stacks, it activates, offering you a way to cross to another platform. It also clears the charges on the dormant adds.


Giving a charge to an add triggers an explosion and a DoT on the raid. Drop the charges by groups of 2, to keep up with the rythm of the fight. Don't go over 3 stacks. Players on an add platform aso take the DoT.

EVERYONE

DODGE THE TORNADOES.

Upon reaching 100 energy, the boss spawns 1 big add on her platform. Upon death, it knocks players back. The boss also spawns 1 big add and 6 small ones on another platform.

RESOURCES

1
General Vault By Causese

A general WeakAura pack that provides "icon" style mechanics/debuff as well as short descriptions for each. Pretty standard. We also recommend downloading Causese Sound addon to hear vocal announcements. Feel free to thank the amazing Causese here (sorry, no Twitter that I know of...).

2
Co Tank Weakaura by Causese

Another must-have by Causese if you play or are planning to play tank. It informs you when to taunt and how your co-tank is doing with their mechanics.


Make sure to checkout the Causese Sound addon to also pair it with appropriate sound announcements.

3
Conductive Mark Group

Same WA than Primal Council from Causese. It will list players with the conductive mark debuff. Very usefull for Raid Leaders on Mythic difficulty.


However you will have to update the debuff ID to match with Dathea Conductive Mark.
