Abilities & Strategy
Overview
Ambassador Flamelash calls upon the denizens of the Firelands to incinerate his foes. When Ambassador Flamelash casts Open Firelands Portals, players must quickly spread in order to defeat Burning Spirits and destroy portal anchors. If too many spirits successfully cast Fury of the Firelands, the damage from Ambassador Flamelash will become overwhelming. Until all portal anchors are destroyed, Unstable Portal will continue to inflict damage to the entire raid. When Ambassador Flamelash reaches maximum energy, he casts Cremate, which must be split between multiple players. The Cremation left behind by Cremate should be quickly dispelled or will overwhelm the raid.
Tanks
- Tanks will need to split the damage of Cremate in order to survive, and the Flamelash it leaves behind makes a player more susceptible to Fire damage until it fades.
- Firestarter's Explosive Impact inflicts heavy Physical damage.
- Flamewalkers are a powerful melee combatant that is also capable of casting Magma Infusion.
Damage Dealers
- Firestarters should be lured away from the raid. The explosion from Torch is large and inflicts high damage.
- Flamewalkers cast Magma Infusion until they are defeated, making it more difficult to navigate the Iron Hall.
- Players should destroy portal anchors as quickly as possible while ensuring Burning Spirits do not successfully cast Fury of the Firelands.
Healers
- Healers should quickly dispel Cremation from players that split the damage of Cremate.
- Tanks afflicted by Flamelash will suffer increased Fire damage.
- When a Flamewalker is killed, it will depart with an Explosive Demise.
- Incoming damage can quickly become overwhelming during Open Firelands Portals unless the raid manages every threat successfully.
