Kith'ix

Single target · adds · Lady Liadrin assistsBloodlust Phase 2, right after Last Light

Difficulty

Kith'ix summons a Voidswarm of three adds. Drag them away from him, because Commanding Presence makes aqir within 25 yards take 75% less damage. Grab a light mote before Extinguish. At 100 energy, darkness closes in and you hide in Liadrin's Bulwark. At 25% she grants Luminous Grace and the raid races Eightfold Eclipse.

Kith'ix center. Adds pulled 25+ yards away, with the Hulk dragged onto the Voidweaver for cleave. Light motes spawn in front of the Hulk.

Your job (melee)

Follow the adds out of Commanding Presence range (25 yards). Kill the Voidweaver fast. Nightfall grows the longer it lives.
Stay out of the Hulk's Venom Roar frontal, and break the eggs it and the Voidweaver drop before they hatch Mindstingers.
Before Extinguish, grab a Light's Embrace mote (in the Hulk's frontal direction) or use an immunity or big defensive.
If a Bomber Beetle fixates you, let a DK grip it onto the Hulk. Blow beetles up one at a time.
If you get Overwhelming Fear, move out before it's dispelled. The scream hits nearby players.
Step away from Twisted Appendage tentacles near the boss.
heroic Dark Devastation leaves Voidscars. Don't touch them. They knock you back, and they release Eclipse Fragments in the intermission.

0:01Get inside Liadrin's Bulwark
0:04Fragments drift toward Liadrin (Heroic: soak them)

Darkness closes in. Everyone hides in Liadrin's Refulgent Bulwark in the center. Fragments drift from the Voidscars toward Liadrin.

Your job (melee)

Every add must be dead before the darkness starts, or it enrages (Dark Frenzy).
Stay inside the Bulwark. Outside means Suffocation.
If Abyssal Grasp pulls you, stay calm. Healers have 8 seconds to break the absorb.
heroic Fragments drifting from Voidscars toward Liadrin must be soaked by assigned groups, or the Bulwark shrinks.

Abilities

Suffocating Darknessmove
Storm closes in. Anyone outside the Bulwark is pacified, slowed and takes heavy damage.
Dark Frenzyenrage
Any add still alive gets double speed, CC immunity and a raid damage aura.
Abyssal Graspheal

Stygian Howl stuns everyone, then Liadrin's Last Light heals and empowers the raid. Drop Null Gates away from the group.

Your job (melee)

Bloodlust and everything else. Luminous Grace gives +50% damage, and Eightfold Eclipse kills everyone in about a minute.
If Null Gate targets you, drop it away from the raid. Dodge Nullshards, because each hit adds Nullify stacks.

Abilities

Stygian Howl
Stuns the raid and absorbs all adds and abilities.
Last Lightpriority
Full raid heal plus Luminous Grace (+50% damage and healing) for the rest of the fight.
Null Gatemovedodge

Negationtank
Tank gets speed and Nullshard immunity, and dies when it expires unless they touch a Null Gate.
Eightfold Eclipseenrage
Eclipses form one by one, and the eighth kills everyone.

Retribution Paladin tips

Divine Shield is a valid Extinguish answer if you can't reach a mote. Plan which one you'll use.
Blessing of Protection doesn't help with Extinguish (Shadow damage).
Hammer of Justice works on Mindstingers if eggs hatch.

Death Knight (Frost / Unholy) tips

DKs grip Bomber Beetles onto the Hulk one at a time. This is usually assigned to you.
Anti-Magic Shell plus Icebound Fortitude can cover Extinguish if you miss a mote. Don't count on it on Heroic.
Anti-Magic Zone is great for Voidswarm or Nightfall.

Other roles (short)

Tanks

Boss tank swaps every Dark Devastation and places Voidscars on markers. Add tank drags the Hulk onto the Voidweaver.

Healers

Abyssal Grasp targets come first. Dispel fears only once the player has moved out.
