This week’s affixes are Fortified, Spiteful, Grievous, and Tormented.

This week’s affixes change the relative values of some Anima powers - Tiny Dancing Shoes can help prevent Spiteful deaths, while Signet of Bolstering can stack more quickly off of Spiteful Shades. Do note that Regenerative Fungus does NOT proc off of Grievous damage, making it less of the silver bullet you’d expect this week (though still worth considering).

De Other Side [back to top]

Even without Tyrannical active, Grievous can add serious danger to boss fights - you may find especially the Manastorms to be harder this week than some of the other bosses due to the heavy pressure on the healer.

Halls of Atonement [back to top]

Watch out for Spiteful Shades spawning from Groundskeepers mid pull. With Grievous and Fortified both active, you may want to consider using line of sight to avoid the AoE damage from Shards of Halkias.

Mists of Tirna Scithe [back to top]

We’re continuing to offer the route with skips that features a difficult to execute skip at the start of the dungeon - this is by far the highest fail-rate skip in any of our routes, so take care that you understand it and practice it a little on M0 to make sure you aren’t walking near any of the true-sight mobs during it! The payoff is solid but not worth attempting if you aren’t confident you can do it reliably.

Plaguefall [back to top]

Remember that you can grab Incinerator Arkolath before Doctor Ickus to get another anima power for that fight. Grievous adds a healer mana challenge to the boss fights of this dungeon, so cycle your defensives aggressively during the group-wide damage parts to help out.

Sanguine Depths [back to top]

Spiteful Shades can be used to your advantage in this dungeon to help fill up the Venthyr Lanterns and easily create 10 stacks of the powerful buff.

Spires of Ascension [back to top]

With Grievous and Fortified active, it is imperative Bloodlust and all cooldowns on Klotos at the end of the dungeon, otherwise you may end up wiping and then being hard-stuck until everything is available.

The Necrotic Wake [back to top]

A useful tip for Amarth is to have your tank pick up the spear beforehand and spear Amarth on pull, when Incinerator Arkolath is around 30% health, aimed in such a way that it pierces and hits both. The tank is ideal for this since it generates huge threat!

Theater of Pain [back to top]

Bloodlust for time efficiency is best on Xav, as it can remove banner casts from the fight and reduce the total amount of damage you’ll need to do.Gorechop is another good lust as it’s a difficult encounter that can drain your resources, as is Mordretha, potentially below 50%, for similar reasons.
