This page covers healer-focused strategies for the Atal'Dazar dungeon. While it's tailored for healers, other roles may also find the information useful. If you have any suggestions or feedback, you can leave a comment below or tweet @PrestonDvorak.

This guide has been updated and maintained based on my own experiences as well as Dungeon Journal information. I'll continue to update it as-needed.

 Bosses

Below are guides for the bosses in Atal'Dazar, including their abilities, healer notes, and addon settings.

 Priestess Alun'za

• The tank will be dealing with Gilded Claws (dispel, purge).
• Before Transfusion is cast, stand in a Tainted Blood pool to prevent Alun'za from healing.
• Dispel Molten Gold (magic).
• On Heroic, avoid the corruption orbs coming from the Golden Cauldrons at the front of the room.
  • Players hit will take moderate damage from Corrupted Gold.
• On Heroic, a Spirit of Gold will move around to absorb pools of Tainted Blood.
  • If no pools are present, the Spirit will attack players, causing them to need additional healing.

 Healing Notes

• Pre-heal before and use Cooldowns on Transfusion, when all players have Tainted Blood.
• Watch for players hit by Corrupted Gold and Spirit of Gold.

 Debuffs to Track

 Vol'kaal

• All Reanimation Totems must be killed.
  • These grant Vol'kaal Bad Voodoo, healing him and redirecting any damage taken to a nearby Reanimation Totem.

• Once all Reanimation Totems are killed, Vol'kaal is affected by Rapid Decay.
  • The tank will be taking increased damage.
  • Avoid Toxic Pools.
• Avoid the Toxic Leap impact location.

• When targeted by Pursuit, run away from Rezan.
  • Being caught will deal critical damage over 8-seconds from Devour.

 Yazma

• The tank will be dealing with Skewer.
• When Yazma reaches 100% energy, if targeted by Soulrend, run far away from Yazma.
  • The resulting Soulspawn must be killed before it reaches Yazma.
    • If it reaches Yazma, a stack of Soulfeast is applied to all players.
    • These are susceptible to stuns, knock backs, and other crowd control.
  • On Heroic, Soulrend causes all players to spawn a Soulspawn.
    • Players will be taking additional damage from Soul Link while their Soulspawn is alive.
• Avoid Echoes of Shadra and the resulting Shadowy Remains.
• Interrupt Wracking Pain to prevent the heavy damage on the targeted player.

 Healing Notes

• Pre-heal before and use Cooldowns on Soulrend, or shortly after while Soulspawns are active.
• Watch for players hit by Echoes of Shadra and Wracking Pain.

 Debuffs to Track
