This page covers a healer-focused strategy for Fankriss the Unyielding in the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj. 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 with the encounter, logs information, and Dungeon Journal information. I'll continue to update it as-needed.

General Mechanics and Abilities

• The tanks will be dealing with Mortal Wound, reducing healing received.
• Vekniss Hatchlings steadily spawn from the bug tunnels around the room.
• Targets random players with Entangle, teleporting them to one of the bug tunnels and stunning them.
• Summon Worm summons up to three Spawns of Fankriss.
  • Spawn of Fankriss
    • Susceptible to crowd control.
    • Go Berserk after 20-seconds, gaining increased attack speed and damage dealt.

Season of Mastery Differences

• After killing The Prophet Skeram, players can interact with the Prophecy of Chaos at the back of the hallway leading deeper into Ahn'Quiraj.
  • The Prophecy of Chaos allows players to increase the difficulty of all bosses by causing different lesser enemies to spawn during encounters. Higher difficulty levels are unlocked with higher reputation and award additional loot.
    • Glyph of Madness (Friendly) causes Claw Tentacles to spawn.
      • Claw Tentacle
        • Avoid the impact locations of Ground Rupture.
        • Hit random nearby players with Hamstring, reducing movement speed.
    • Glyph of Darkness (Honored) causes Eye Tentacles to spawn.
      • Eye Tentacle
        • Interrupt Mind Flay to prevent the light damage over time dealt to a random player.
    • Glyph of Chaos (Revered) causes Giant Claw Tentacles to spawn.
      • Giant Claw Tentacle
        • Avoid the impact location of Ground Rupture.
        • The tanks will be dealing with Thrash, taking a burst of moderate damage.
        • If no players are in melee range, it will submerge and reemerge under another player.
    • Glyph of the Void (Exalted) causes Eye of C'Thun to spawn.
      • Eye of C'Thun
        • Stay at least 10-yards away from other players to avoid chaining the damage from Eye Beam.

Resistance Levels

• Players generally won't make use of any additional Resistances on this encounter.

Healing Notes

The notes below mostly pertain to progression difficulty, meaning if you out-gear the difficulty you're on or use extra healers they may not apply.

• The current tank will likely need heavy healing throughout the encounter, especially as Mortal Wound stacks grow.
• Entangled players will need healing until the Vekniss Hatchlings are killed or picked up by a tank.

Debuffs to Track

• Major: Mortal Wound, Entangle, Entangle, Entangle
