Strategy Guide

FIGHT OVERVIEW
  • Norushen supports the raid to defeat the Amalgam of Corruption.

  • The more Corruption a player has, the less damage they do to the Amalgam. Everyone starts with 75.

  • Players can enter role-specific Tests that will purge their Corruption to 0 and give them Purified.

  • Players should enter the Tests in waves to ensure that you can still manage adds outside while maximising boss damage from being Purified.

Heroic Changes
  • The only change from Normal is that when Residual Corruption orb pools are soaked, they will give the player a 25 corruption penalty.

General Abilities

The raid doesn't actually fight Norushen, but an Amalgam of Corruption.

Test of Serenity
DPS Test

DPS players will have to fight 1 Manifestation of Corruption and 1-4 Essences of Corruption, depending on how much Corruption they enter with.


These adds will appear in the normal realm when killed.


Manifestations have an avoidable frontal, Tear Reality, that deals moderate Shadow damage.


Essences will cast Expel Corruption, shooting a ball of small Shadow damage in a straight line. This can be interrupted or avoided.


After the player becomes Purified or 60 seconds pass, they will return to the Normal realm with the remaining adds.

Test of Reliance
Healer Test

Healers must kill a Greater Corruption in their Test, but will have 3 friendly NPCs to aid them that can be healed.


The Greater Corruption uses 3 spells:

Disheartening Laugh - deals Shadow damage to the Healer and NPCs.

Bottomless Pit - spawns a pool that deals Shadow damage every second.

Lingering Corruption - dispellable debuff that will deal massive Shadow damage to the target after 10 seconds. DISPEL!

Burst of Anger
Unleashed Manifestation of Corruption

An Unleashed Manifestation of Corruption appears whenever a player completes the Test of Serenity.


They also spawn after the Amalgam of Corruption loses 50% health, and every 10% health after.


Every few seconds while alive, they will cast Burst of Anger. This hits all players in the raid for a small amount of Shadow damage.


Upon death, the Manifestation will leave a pool of Residual Corruption that pulses moderate Shadow damage.


A player with 75 or less Corruption must soak this pool to remove it.


On Heroic, the player soaking gains 25 Corruption.

Expel Corruption
Essence of Corruption

When an Essence of Corruption is defeated in a Test, an Unleashed version spawns in the Normal realm.


This casts Expel Corruption, which is a Shadow orb that will buff the Amalgam with Fusion, increasing the damage dealt by 8% for 15 seconds, unless soaked by a player.
