Rashok, Healer Guide

Updated 2 weeks, 6 days ago for patch 10.1 by Preston. View the change log.

Rashok, the Elder Dungeon Journal ModelThis page covers a healer-focused strategy for Rashok, the Elder in Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible in Dragonflight. 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 contact me.

This guide has been updated and maintained based on my own experiences with the encounter, combat log information, and Dungeon Journal information. I'll continue to update it as-needed.



Rashok, the Elder ModelGeneral Mechanics and Abilities

Rashok, the Elder ModelNormal and Heroic

  • The tanks will be dealing with Wrath of Djaruun and the extra heavy damage from the immediate Earthen Crush and Flaming Slash. Both greatly increase the damage taken from subsequent attacks while the effects persist.
    • Which attacks are used is random, and tanks must taunt to avoid being hit by two of the same attacks in a row.
  • The tanks will also be managing Rashok's Energy to prevent him from reaching 100%.
    • Rashok gains about 1% Energy per-second.
    • When brought near the Elder's Conduit in the center of the room and afflicted with Elder's Conduit
      • 3% Energy is drained per-second until no Energy remains.
      • No other abilities are used.
      • Avoid the impact locations of Shadowflame Fissures.
      • Deals moderate damage over time to all players with Scorching Heatwave.
        • On Heroic, damage taken is increased over time by stacks of Scorched Flesh.
    • Once the Elder's Conduit has drained Energy three times, stay more than 20-yards away to avoid the heavy damage from Shattered Conduit.
    • If allowed to reach 100% Energy, deals fatal damage over time to all players with Ancient Fury.
  • Don't stand in front when he turns to cast Shadowlava Blast. Players hit take likely-fatal damage.
  • Every 35-seconds, during Searing Slam:
  • Every 40-seconds, during Charged Smash, stand in the impact location to split the damage dealt and reduce the amount of Energy gained by Rashok.
  • At 35-seconds into the encounter, and about every 2.5-minutes after that, during Doom Flames:
    • Players must stand in the impact locations to prevent them from hitting the ground.
      • Players intercepting impacts take light damage over time from Doom Flames.
