The Coven of Shivarra, Healer Guide

The Coven of Shivarra Dungeon Journal Model This page covers a healer-focused strategy for The Coven of Shivarra 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 encounter, you'll be fighting against various shivarra as they torment the titan's souls.

The Shivarra

The shivarra share a health pool and take decreased damage when within 18-yards of one another due to Shivan Pact.
- Two shivarra will be active at a time.
- The active shivarra change every time two Titan apparitions are defeated (as noted below).
- The order is Fire, Shadow, Ice. (Fire + Shadow are active, then Shadow + Ice, and finally Ice + Fire).
The group takes steadily increasing damage over time from Sense of Dread while a titan is being tormented.
- This goes to 9-stacks and then resets.
Noura, Mother of Flames
- The tanks will be dealing with Fiery Strike.
  - Don't stand in front of Noura to avoid the cone effect.
- Avoid the impact location of Whirling Saber and the path it takes back to Noura.
- On Heroic, when affected by Fulminating Pulse move at least 6-yards away from other players.
Asara, Mother of Night
- Touch of Darkness deals unavoidable damage to random players.
- Avoid the Shadow Blades as they travel out from Asara.
- On Heroic, during Storm of Darkness, stand inside the white safe zone rings to stop the damage.
  - Outside the safety zones, this deals critical damage over time.
Diima, Mother of Gloom
- The tanks will be dealing with Flashfreeze.
- Players affected by Chilled Blood will need to be healed quickly to remove the absorb effect.
- On Heroic, move away from the Orb of Frost.

Torment of the Titans

While tormented, an apparition of the titan must be defeated before its corresponding effect becomes too much to handle.

Torment of Aman'thul
- Machinations of Aman'Thul heals the apparition to full health and deals damage over time to the group.
  - DPS must kill the Aman'Thul apparition before the cast finishes.
Torment of Golganneth
- Avoid standing within 2-yards of other players while Fury of Golganneth is active.
Torment of Khaz'goroth
- Avoid the flame lines during Flames of Khaz'goroth.
Torment of Norgannon
- Avoid the spectral visages summoned by Spectral Army of Norgannon.
  - Use stuns, roots, and knockback effects to help create openings.
  - After 20-seconds, they can be killed.

Mythic Differences

On Mythic, there is an entirely new shivarra, but everything else stays the same.

Thu'raya, Mother of the Cosmos
- Touch of the Cosmos must be interrupted.
- When affected by Cosmic Glare, stand still so other players can avoid the line of fel that travels through the players

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
- Machinations of Aman'Thul, especially on the final apparition or two when damage is the highest.
Use Minor Cooldowns on
- Fulminating Pulse, especially during other abilities like Machinations of Aman'Thul or Storm of Darkness.
- Storm of Darkness, especially if several players are caught far away from the safe zones.
Pre-heal Before (mainly for heal over time classes)
- Machinations of Aman'Thul
Leytorrent Potion use
- Likely during Storm of Darkness, once inside a safe zone.
Other things to watch for
- Players affected by Chilled Blood will need heavy healing until the absorb effect is removed.
- On Heroic, players affected by Fulminating Pulse will need heavy healing over time and should be at full health before it expires.

Debuffs to Track

Chilled Blood must be healed off quickly.
Fulminating Pulse causes players to need additional healing.
