Siege of Orgrimmar 09 · Underground Fortress · MoP Classic 5.4.8
MoP Classic P5 Malkorok Guide
Ancient Miasma converts healing into shields; remember the positions of three Arc Smashes, leave the corresponding sector during breath, and have someone cover each purple circle.
Phase Goals
- Relentless Assault：Spread out, soak Implosion purple circles, track Arc Smash sectors.
- Breath of Y'Shaarj：After the third slam, leave the three dangerous sectors.
- Blood Fury：Raid stacks to share frontal damage, then quickly spreads after the phase ends.
Tank, Healer, and DPS Duties
- Tank：Tank swap on Deadly Strike stacks; during Blood Fury, either solo-tank with full cooldowns or raid-soak as per strategy.
- Tank：Boss always fixed facing, avoid Arc Swing scanning raid.
- Healer：Watch shield color/strength rather than health bars; prioritize topping off players with low shields.
- Healer：Players with misaligned energy must leave the group before dispel, use major cooldowns during Blood Fury.
- DPS：Ranged cover implosion circles by sector; melee watch their feet and breath safe zones.
- DPS：During Blood Fury, stand in correct split position then focus burst.
Heroic Mode and WCL Review
- Touching Y'Shaarj energy orbs consumes shields; assign high-shield/immune players to clear necessary paths.
- Misdirected energy dispels will explode; move out of the group and confirm surroundings are safe before dispelling.
- Number of missed soaks, breath/cleave damage taken.
- Personal shield break timings, misplaced energy dispel positions, and Blood Fury splitting.
Representative Timeline
- 0:00 Barrier establishment：Enable barrier frames; clarify primary/backup for each zone's circle soaking.
- 0:12 Arc 1：Only leave the sector; do not crowd into adjacent players' smash range.
- 0:33 Arc 2：Continue stepping on black zones; healers prioritize low-barrier targets.
- 0:52 Arc 3：Immediately predict the only safe area; do not wait for the breath animation.
- 1:10 Deadly Breath 1：Raid enters safe sectors, mitigation covers but maintain spread distance.
- 2:20 Deadly Breath 2：After it ends, prepare to switch to Bloodrage and clear black zones on the ground.
