Devastation Evoker DPS Nerub-ar Palace Raid Guide — The War Within (11.0.5)

• You may want to use Obsidian Scales if you are at low HP when Hungering Bellows happens.

• It is not generally worth using CDs on the Add Phase unless you are attempting to parse. Simply use cooldowns on pull and then again when the boss returns.

• Maintaining Hover when you're being dragged in by Carnivorous Contest will ensure you do not lose uptime on the boss

• Consider using Obsidian Scales if you are at low HP when Bloodcurdle happens or if you are about to go down via Gruesome Disgorge.

• I do not recommend using cooldowns on the add waves if you do not have to. Try to use your cooldowns as they come up on the boss.

• Maintaining Hover when rotating around the room due to Spewing Hemorrhage and when you are afflicted by Grasp From Beyond will ensure you do not lose any dps uptime
• Save Wing Buffet to help knock back the smaller adds when you are inside The Unseeming phase to help prevent them from reaching the boss.

• As you run to place your Cosmic Simulacrum, you may want to use either Renewing Blaze or Obsidian Scales, since you may be running out of Healer range, and if you are not, they are probably busy running as well.

• On cooldown.

• Maintain Hover usage when you are moving out to place your Phase Blades and when moving to bait Decimate

• If you are low on HP as Erosive Spray is going out, using Obsidian Scales will keep you alive.

• On cooldown.

• Deep Breath can be held for a short duration at certain points of the fight to get free cleave overlaps on the add spawns for next to no ST dps loss.

• Holding multiple charges of Hover aswell as having Rescue ready will allow you to cover alot of distance quickly each time the boss moves to a new position.

• Because Volatile Concoction deals increased damage the more HP you are missing, so I strongly recommend using a defensive if you are at low HP when it expires.

• Cooldowns should be used primarily as soon as they come up and on the boss, there may be an overlap with a lot of high priority adds where you wish to delay this depending on which eggs your guild breaks at which times.

• Using Hover when you have the Sticky Web debuff will help you dash out quicker to make dispelling easier and safer for your raid.
• Both of our knock abilities Tail Swipe and Wing Buffet can be used to prevent the Blood Parasite from reaching their target and creating additional adds.

• You want to have a charge of Obsidian Scales available if you are getting hit by Nether Rift or Twilight Massacre.
• You want to keep Renewing Blaze for the intermission as you will be spread out and sometimes out of range of healers.

• On cooldown.

• Good Hover usage is key to doing maximum damage on this encounter, you will find yourself needing to use it heavily in phase 1, during phase 2 you want to position yourself right on the edge of the safe spots so you can take a single step left or right when casting Shattering Star or instant cast Living Flame to move to safety without needing to expend Hover charges.

• In phase 1 you want to use Renewing Blaze on either the first Nether Rift or the first Twilight Massacre cast, using it later will prevent you from having it for the intermission, if you happen to get both the Nether Rift and a Twilight Massacre use a charge of Obsidian Scales.
• In phase 2 you want to use your Renewing Blaze right before the Regicide debuff expires on you, this will provide you with a tremendous amount of self sustain throughout the phase, you will want to use a charge of Obsidian Scales toward the end of the phase to cover the overlap where every raid member is afflicted by Regicide.

• The only part of the encounter that you will need a defensive for every time it occurs is when the boss is casting Web Vortex you will want to have a charge of Obsidian Scales up for each of these.

• On cooldown.

• Hover can be used freely in phase 1 and 2 with not alot of forethought, there is very little forced movement that will cost you dps, you want to ensure that you have maximum available charges when entering the intermission phases as they have alot more movement which will impact your damage quite severely.

• Mythic you will want to use your first cooldowns 20 seconds in, your second set during the first damage amp in phase 2, your next set as soon as phase 3 starts, and your final set during the lust burn at the end.

• If you are afflicted by Reactive Toxin you will want to pop a defensive as this is a hard hitting damage over time effect.
• If you are assigned to detonate the Reactive Froth use Renewing Blaze beforehand as you will be required to move a bit outside of the raid afterwards to ensure you do not kill people as your green circle AoE expires.
• If you are getting pulled in by Wrest straight into a Expulsion Beam a quick usage of Obsidian Scales will save you from death.

• Dragonrage should be used almost off cooldown as it will get full single target value whilst also gaining free cleave benefits from the Pyres casted when you activate it.
• Deep Breath can be held for a short duration at certain points in phase 1 to get a large free cleave overlap on Silken Tomb aswell as immuning the root on yourself.
• in Mythic Deep Breath will be used primarily as a means of escaping your Silken Tomb debuff, you will be break the first, second and fourth set of roots.

• There is a lot of forced movement which can result in lost uptime, particularly in phase 1, so good Hover usage will be very important here.
• Liquefy and Web Blades will force you to move at fairly regular intervals, Web Blades will spawn 4 sets of lines, so after you have seen the 4th set spawn, you can lock your positioning and not worry about moving until after they have all fired.
• Maintaining Hover during Wrest will be crucial for maximizing dps on breaking the shield during the first intermission.

• In Mythic you will need to be very disciplined with your defensive usage, you will need atleast one charge of Obsidian Scales for the 2nd Wrest in the intermission, aswell as a charge on the 2nd platform in phase 2 when the debuffs are being dispelled.
• In Mythic for phase 3 you will need to save a charge of Obsidian Scales for both Acolyte's Essence and if you get the Royal Condemnation debuff as you will very likely die without them.
