Siege of Orgrimmar 14 · Tyrant's Dusk · MoP Classic 5.4.8

MoP Classic P5 Garrosh Hellscream Guide

Long final battle: P1 manage reinforcements and Iron Stars, clear adds during transitions, P2/P3 focus interrupts on mind control and handle empowered Whirlwind.

Phase Goals

  • P1 · Dungeon:Pick up reinforcements, kill the Prophet instantly and interrupt; use Iron Stars to clear adds but don't hit the raid.
  • Transition:Quickly clear trash, avoid Annihilate frontal; reduce boss energy absorption.
  • P2 · Power of Y'Shaarj:Handle weapons according to tactics, group up for mind control interrupts, and spread during Whirlwind.
  • P3 · My World:Bloodlust full burn, still execute empowered Mind Control and empowered Whirlwind adds.
  • Heroic Phase 4:Handle Malice, bombardment, and Iron Star collisions to complete the final kill.

Tank, Healer, and DPS Duties

  • Tank:P1: Separate tanks for boss and reinforcements; P2: swap by stacks of Grasp of Despair.
  • Tank:Empowered Despair explodes; separate on tank swap. Empowered Whirlwind adds: establish threat separately and kill one by one.
  • Healer:Whirlwind/Empowered Whirlwind is the main raid damage; ensure each area is covered during spread phases.
  • Healer:Transition annihilation or Heroic P4 Malice failure creates spikes; keep emergency cooldowns and personal damage reduction reminders.
  • DPS:P1: Prophet first priority and interrupt; wolf riders and adds handled along the Iron Star path.
  • DPS:P2/P3: Mind-controlled targets and Empowered Whirlwind adds are higher priority than boss; transition burst determines energy and later difficulty.

Heroic Mode and WCL Review

  • P4: Malice is shared by a fixed number of players and rotated; after bombardment, lure Iron Stars to hit designated targets.
  • The final heroic segment is a positioning check: any early entry into the circle, missed soak, or incorrect star luring will quickly chain into failure.
  • Transition duration vs. boss energy, mind control interrupt/break timing.
  • Prophet interrupts, weapon-position-related damage, empowered whirlwind adds buffing each other, and P4 Malice split.

Representative Timeline

  • 0:00 P1: Orgrimmar:Kill engineers on one side; group adds on the star path; tank places boss at impact point.
  • 1:22 Vision 1:Fixed route clearing adds for energy, gather in middle, pass through Annihilation safe side one by one.
  • 2:22 P2: Sha Energy:Main stack swaps between two points, mind controls are instantly interrupted and burst, spread before Whirlwind.
  • 4:36 Vision/Empowered transition:Keep movement and mitigation, continue eating energy; return to the platform to prepare empowered abilities.
  • 4:54 Empowered ability zone:Interrupt Mind Control first, then DPS; kill adds in personal sectors during Whirlwind, do not let tanks group them causing empowerment.
  • 5:56 P3 / Heroic transition:Push damage fully and save designated major cooldowns for P4; do not waste potions on immune transitions.
