Strategy[]

'whole fight mechanics':

  • 5 yard check recommended
  • need magic dispellers for accelerated corruption
  • need 2 tanks that switches aggro every 45 seconds

Phase 1: Cho'gall switches between flame's orders and shadow's orders. In Flames orders he strikes with an additional 20K fire damage and spawns lava spots on the ground that you must look out for and get out of them. In shadow's orders he strikes with an additional 20K shadow damage and does a raidwide shadow damage (minor damage). He also forces a player to worship him which can and must be interrupted as it adds an unnecessary negative aspect to the fight. His next main ability in phase 1 is that he summons 'corrupting adherents' through portals that have spawned. These do a lot of corrupting blood to your raid in different ways so they must be burned down quickly. However as they leek aoe corruption and spawn adds that are untankable; it is best to kill all adherents in the same area (prefferably a corner so it does not interfere with general raid movements. When he summons blood of the old gods from the corpses of the adherents, they need to be AoEd down before they start their own nasty ability (after 30 seconds since spawning). Continue with these things in mind and you will be up to phase 2.

Phase 2: This is a dps race whereas phase 1 was all about control. Save cooldowns for this phase which activates at 25% and below. He will deal damage to the whole raid and generate corruption on the whole raid. He will also spawn tentacles that need to be killed ASAP.
