This roster comes from the current game client's data files, so it is not a complete list of every NPC in the game - older world NPCs that are no longer in the modern client are absent.

Boss Encounter

Ko'ragh appears as a raid or dungeon boss. See the encounter page for its instance.

Abilities & Strategy

What the in-game dungeon journal describes for the Ko'ragh encounter. Every ability links to its spell page.

Abilities & Strategy

Overview

Ko'ragh is protected by a Nullification Barrier that absorbs all magic damage taken. When the barrier is removed, he activates a rune that recharges it. While recharging, one player may also absorb some of the rune's energy and receive a Nullification Barrier. As the fight progresses, an increasing amount of Overflowing Energy orbs spill from the rune and float to the ground, exploding when they land. Players who have a Nullification Barrier can catch and absorb Overflowing Energy to mitigate the amount of raid wide damage and prevent a lethal amount of damage from occurring. In Mythic difficulty, two players may enter the rune per phase of Charging.

Damage Dealers
Healers
  • Focus intense healing on players absorbing Caustic Energy to allow them to survive the transformation.
  • Expel Magic: Fire inflicts heavy raid wide damage and requires dispels to mitigate some of the damage.
  • Expel Magic: Shadow absorbs all healing on the raid until it is removed.
Tanks
  • Tanks marked with Expel Magic: Arcane must run away from their allies and avoid the periodic explosions.
  • Volatile Anomalies will spawn periodically during the charging phase. If they are killed within a Suppression Field, they will not cast Destabilize.

Nullification Barrier

Breaker's Strength
Charging

When the Ko'ragh's Nullification Barrier is removed, he begins to recharge. After 20 sec, the barrier is restored.

Caustic Energy

One player may enter the rune with Ko'ragh, absorbing a portion of its energy. This effect pierces all immunities and damage reductions. When the rune powers down, the player receives their own Nullification Barrier, proportional to the amount of time spent inside the rune. The Nullification Barrier received by players can absorb up to Magic damage. In Mythic difficulty, two players may enter the rune per phase of Charging. In Raid Finder difficulty, five players may enter the rune per phase of Charging.

Volatile Anomalies

While the Rune of Nullification is active, 3 Volatile Anomalies spawn every 8 sec.

Overflowing Energy

In Mythic difficulty, the rate that Overflowing Energy forms is accelerated.
