Edge of Madness, Healer Guide
Posted 9 months, 2 weeks ago for patch 1.13 by Preston.
This page covers a healer-focused strategy for Edge of Madness in Zul'Gurub. 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
- One of four bosses will be available. Old data indicates the boss that's available depends on the day of the week the current instance ID was created.
- You can tell which boss is available by reading the tablets on the wall and looking for the tablet that mentions the boss is "close to the edge of madness."
- The boss is summoned by extinguishing the brazier with a
Gurubashi Mojo Madness.
Gri'lek
- When fixated, run away from Gri'lek who will be moving slowly and dealing increased damage due to
Avatar.
- Stay at least 20-yards away to avoid
Ground Tremor.
- Dispel
Entangling Roots (magic), especially on the fixated player.
Renataki
- The tanks and melee will be dealing with
Gouge, possibly leading to threat generation issues.
- Will
Vanish and
Ambush a random player, dealing moderate damage.
- Sometimes the
Vanish stealth can be broken early by area of effect spells and abilities.
- Sometimes the
Hazza'rah
- Targets random players with
Chain Burn, dealing light to moderate damage and draining mana.
- This can be countered by keeping Hazza'rah's mana drained.
- Puts all players to
Sleep for 6-seconds.
- This can be removed with things like
Tremor Totem.
- This can be removed with things like
- Summons Nightmare Illusions throughout the encounter, which should be killed quickly as they deal critical to fatal damage to anyone they melee attack.
Wushoolay
- Don't stand in front of the boss to avoid
Forked Lightning.
- Interrupt
Chain Lightning to prevent the moderate damage dealt to random players.
- Avoid the locations of
Lightning Clouds.
Resistance Levels
- Players generally won't make use of any additional Resistances on most of these encounters.
- On Wushoolay, all players should have as much Nature Resistance as possible without sacrificing other stats.
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.
- Gri'lek: Be prepared to dispel the player targeted by [Fixate].
- Renataki: Keep players near full health so they can survive
Ambush.
- Hazza'rah: Keep the tanks near full health so they can survive while the healers are under the effects of
Sleep.
Debuffs to Track
- Minor:
Entangling Roots (dispel, magic),
Lightning Cloud
Addons
