Felhounds of Sargeras, Healer Guide

Felhounds of Sargeras Dungeon Journal Model This page covers a healer-focused strategy for the Felhounds of Sargeras in Antorus, the Burning Throne. 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 fight as well as Dungeon Journal information. I'll continue to update it as-needed.

General Mechanics and Abilities

Normal and Heroic

During this fight, you'll be facing off against Sargeras' felhounds, F'harg and Shatug.

Shared Abilities

The two felhounds share a health pool through Soul Link.
Both felhounds will perform special abilities at 33, 66 (Heroic only), and 100 energy, both have their own energy generation rates.
- During Focusing Power, the hound's energy generation is suspended.
If either of the felhounds are within 40-yards of each other, they'll deal 100% more damage from Sargeras' Blessing.

F'harg

The tanks will be dealing with Burning Maw.
- Avoid the Smouldering cone left behind.
(33 energy) When affected by Desolate Gaze, move away from the group.
- If not affected, avoid the resulting Desolate Path traveling between F'harg and the affected players.
(100 energy) When affected by Enflame Corruption, stay at least 8-yards away from other players.
- This will periodically pulse Enflamed, dealing heavy damage to affected players and anyone within 8-yards.
(66 energy) On Heroic, players affected by Molten Touch will be stunned and take heavy damage from Singed over 9-seconds.
- If not affected, avoid the impact locations of Molten Flare.

Shatug

The tanks will be dealing with Corrupting Maw.
- Avoid the Decay cone left behind.
(33 energy) Avoid the path of Consuming Sphere, which travels between the boss and a targeted location.
- Being hit applies a stack of Consumed, increasing damage taken from Consuming Sphere.
(100 energy) When affected by Siphon Corruption, be prepared to stack with other players.
- If not affected, stack with players affected by Siphoned to help mitigate the damage taken.
(66 energy) On Heroic, stack with players affected by Weight of Darkness to mitigate the fear effect.

Mythic Differences

Shared Abilities

The felhounds no longer share health, but must be killed at the same time to avoid Dark Reconstitution.
Focusing Power now afflicts players with one of two debuffs.
- Shadowtouched decreases shadow damage taken.
  - Players affected by this should switch to Shatug's side.
  - Players who take fire damage with this debuff trigger Shadowscar.
    - This deals moderate damage to another random player and pulls that player to the affected player's location.
- Flametouched decreases fire damage taken.
  - Players affected by this should switch to F'harg's side.
  - Players who take shadow damage with this debuff trigger Burning Flash and Burning Remnant.
    - Avoid the locations of Burning Flash explosions and Burning Remnant fire patches.

Shatug

Move as far away from impact locations of Consuming Sphere as possible.
- Consuming Obliteration is now triggered at the end location
  - This sends out a Consuming Detonation wave, dealing more damage the closer you are to the impact location.

Healing Notes

Quick Notes, All Difficulties

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.

Use Major Cooldowns on
- Siphon Corruption and Enflame Corruption combinations, when both Felhounds hit 100 energy at the same time.
  - This occurs ~45 seconds into the fight, and then every ~3-minutes 30-seconds after that.
- Siphon Corruption, when Shatug reaches 100 energy.
Use Minor Cooldowns on
- Enflame Corruption, when F'harg reaches 100 energy.
Pre-heal Before (mainly for heal over time classes)
- Siphon Corruption
- Enflame Corruption
Leytorrent Potion use
- Following a Siphon Corruption or a Enflame Corruption, when neither Felhound is nearing 100 energy.
Other things to watch for
- Players caught in Consuming Sphere will need heavy healing.
  - Additionally, on Mythic, players near the end location will need moderate healing.
- On Heroic, players affected by Singed will need heavy healing.

Debuffs to Track

Enflamed causes players to need additional healing.
On Heroic, Singed causes players to need heavy healing over time.
