Nokhud Offensive

There is dragonriding in this dungeon; I'm not going to insult your intelligence and explain it to you because surely if you've gotten to M+, you can do it. 

Boss Order and Bloodlust Timings:

This path assumes going from Granyth -> The Raging Tempest -> Teera and Maruuk because it's the most commonly used path by PUG Groups, but you can also go to Raging Tempest first. The logic being that Tempest is the hardest of the 3 bosses so you can get Bloodlust on cooldown ASAP. I prefer using Bloodlust on Granyth's trash to get it on cooldown even faster and you'll still have it up for Raging Tempest.  

Pull 1 - Patrol

Aim to land on the BIG patrol when flying in, use Bloodlust if you need to (Granyth is an easy boss and won't need it), and mow it down with everyone's cooldowns still up. This is the hardest pack in this area and can easily sneak up on you during another pull so it's best to just get it cleared first. You'll know this is the right pack because a) it's massive and b) they travel in kind of a "flying V" formation which makes them easy to spot while in the air. 

2 Longbow and a Hornsounder who don't move on their own can make positioning complicated, especially on Sanguine weeks. Displacement abilties (especially grip from Death Knights) are huge here but things are not unmanagable without them as long as you don't try to pull this group into another pack. 

Interrupts and Stops

1x Painstomper- Disruptive Shout - 25 seconds between casts
1x Hornsounder - Rally the Clan - ~15 seconds between casts
1x Beastmaster - Hunt Prey - alternatively assign a class that can soothe on the War Ohuna 

Tank cooldown planning

2x Warspears - Pierce bleed can stack up quickly with two of these mobs, use cooldowns once stacks are high

 

Pull 2 - Lancemaster Pack #1

You can interchange this pull for the other patrol that goes around the area (Pull 3) if the timing is good, otherwise you need to start killing the 3 Lancemaster groups in this area to activate the boss. This one is probably the most annoying group because of the 2 Longbow and Hornsounder issue we dealt with in the previous pack. Again focus on displacement and because this group is stationary when you pull it, the archer mobs will shuffle towards you SLIGHTLY on pull so keep that in mind when you're running in.

Otherwise this pull has roughly the same amount of things to worry about for the group, but less tank damage intake so you can save some CDs

Interrupts and Stops

1x Lancemaster- Disruptive Shout - 25 seconds between casts
1x Hornsounder - Rally the Clan - ~15 seconds between casts
1x Beastmaster - Hunt Prey- alternatively assign a class that can soothe on the War Ohuna 

 

Pull 3 - Patrol

This patrol can also be pulled later if you want OR is the safest opportunity to combine packs with the following Lancemaster pack on Pull 4 -- only do this if you have enough reliable stops to deal with 2 Hornsounders casting Rally the Clan and enough displacement to get this Hornsounder from this pack into AoE range of the next pull. Also make sure you're only combining this pull with Pull 4 (when looking at the map, on the NE side of the boss) and not Pull 5, otherwise you'll need to deal with 3 Warspears at the same time!

Interrupts and Stops

1x Plainstomper - Disruptive Shout - 25 seconds between casts
1x Hornsounder - Rally the Clan - ~15 seconds between casts
1x Beastmaster - Hunt Prey - alternatively assign a class that can soothe on the War Ohuna 

 

Pull 4 - Lancemaster Pack #2

The easiest pull of the area; if you didn't do a double pull here, just handle the mechanics well and your healer can have a little break to regain cooldowns. When making your own path, you can also move this pull to be the last one right before the boss to regain some dps cooldowns as well if you want. 

Interrupts and Stops

1x Lancemaster- Disruptive Shout - 25 seconds between casts
1x Hornsounder - Rally the Clan - ~15 seconds between casts

 

Pull 5 - Lancemaster Pack #3

This pull is easy on the group but can be rough on the tank, with 2 Longbowmen shooting Multishots off, your positioning is extremely important to make sure you don't cleave the group with a frontal while dodging them both; this group doesn't use stops at all to handle mechanics so feel free to use them here to stop Multishots if you're in a bad position. On top of those, you also have 2 Warspears in this pack stacking up a bleed, so being hit by Multishot accidently is extra deadly. 

Interrupts and Stops

1x Lancemaster- Disruptive Shout - 25 seconds between casts

Tank cooldown planning

2x Warspears - Pierce bleed can stack up quickly with two of these mobs, use cooldowns once stacks are high
