Rashok, the Elder
Strategy Guide
This fight alternates between 2 phases, a P1 and an intermission.
In P1, you fight Rashok and deal with his abilities while he gains energy. At 100 he enrages and kills the raid.
Drag Rashok to the middle of the room just BEFORE he enrages. It starts an intermission which drains his energy back to 0. On Normal, you can do this 3 times.
In P1, Rashok regularly jumps on a player, leaving a permanent lava pool that shoots waves. DO NOT STACK LAVA POOLS. The room will get cramped.
During intermissions, Rashok does nothing while being drained and the raid takes massive damage. Then P1 starts again.
Lava pools shoot Lava Waves regularly, not just when Rashok jumps.
In Intermission, the raid takes massive ramping damage.
You can only drain Rashok's energy 2 times before breaking the conduit.
Rashok slowly gains energy. Drag him to the middle of the room BEFORE he reaches 100 energy and enrages. This starts an intermission.
The room is slowly filled by lava pools that shoot lava waves. Do not stack lava pools.
EVERYONE
MAKE RASHOK JUMP ON THE EDGES
OF THE ROOM. NEVER MAKE HIM
JUMP ON ANOTHER LAVA POOL.
Regularly, Rashok targets a player and jumps on them. Rashok drops a permanent lava pool where he lands and deals a burst of damage to the raid.
Each active lava pool increases slam damage by 20%. The room will slowly get filled with them.
If Rashok lands on an another lava pool, it wipes the raid.
EVERYONE
DODGE THE WAVES.
When Rashok jumps on a player, all lava pools send out waves that damage any players they pass through.
Lava pools also regularly shoot out lava waves. You will have to dodge more and more of them.
EVERYONE
EVERYONE SOAK TO SPLIT THE
DAMAGE AND MINIMIZE THE
ENERGY RASHOK GAINS.
Rashok marks a large circle and smashes it, dealing massive damage split between players hit and giving him up to 15 energy.
The more players soak this smash, the less energy Rashok gains.
Everyone needs to soak this.
EVERYONE
SOAK THE PROJECTILES.
ONE PLAYER EACH.
Regularly, Rashok launches a wave of projectiles in the room that need to be soaked. One player each.
Any projectiles that aren't soaked deal raid damage.
EVERYONE
DODGE THE CONE.
When he reaches high energy, Rashok turns toward a player and casts a massive mortal frontal cone.
Drag him to the center of the room shortly after to start intermission.
Rashok casts a combo of 2 different abilities on the tank.
This one hits the tank for massive fire damage and applies a 3000% vulnerability to it for 6s.
If Rashok casts this ability more than once during his combo, the other tank must taunt the boss to take the hit.
If or when Rashok reaches 100 Energy, he enrages and quickly kills the raid.
Drag him to the conduit in the center of the room right BEFORE he enrages to trigger an intermission and drain his Energy back to 0.
You can do this 2 times. Then you need to kill him.

EVERYONE
DODGE THE EXPLOSIONS,
THEY WILL KILL YOU.
Lines of explosions constantly shoot out from Rashok while he's being drained.
Rashok does nothing but constant, massive raid damage while being drained of his energy.
After draining Rashok's energy 2 times, the conduit breaks and you need to kill him before he enrages.
Once all his energy is drained, Rashok frees himself from the conduit and deals a burst of raid damage. Then P1 starts again.
Also grants Rashok a long buff that increases the damage he deals in intermission by 500%.
Do not drag him to the middle of the room by mistake before it expires or it will kill you.

RESOURCES
A general WeakAura pack that provides "icon" style mechanics/debuff as well as short descriptions for each. Pretty standard. We also recommend downloading Causese Sound addon to hear vocal announcements. Feel free to thank the amazing Causese here (sorry, no Twitter that I know of...).
Another must have by Causese if you play or are planning to play tank. It informs you when to taunt and how your co-tank is doing with their mechanics.
Make sure to checkout the Causese Sound addon to also pair it with appropriate sound announcements.
