General Drakkisath

Blackrock Spire

Drakkisath's chamber

Continue from the Furnace to General Drakkisath and the Chromatic Elite Guards. Decide who will separate the general from his guards before pulling, using the cleared route behind the group. Defeat the guards first, then establish the tank and second-threat positions for Conflagration. Drakkisath ends the main Upper Spire route.

General Drakkisath

Boss Dragonkin

Drakkisath requires a controlled opening against his guards and a second tank ready when Conflagration disables the current tank and scorches nearby allies.

Abilities

  • Conflagration

    Sets an enemy aflame, inflicting 3000 Fire damage over 10 seconds. and sending it into a state of panic. While the target is affected, the flames periodically scorch its nearby allies for 300 damage as well.

    Keep a second tank next in threat for Conflagration and leave space around the burning target so nearby allies are not scorched as well.

  • Flame Breath

    Aim Flame Breath into empty space and keep damage dealers and healers out of the frontal cone during tank changes.

  • Pierce Armor

    Reduces an enemy's armor by 75% for 20 seconds.

    Use mitigation and direct healing when Pierce Armor reduces the current tank's armor, rather than treating the next melee hit as an ordinary one.

Tank
Separate Drakkisath from the Chromatic Elite Guards while their tanks collect them. Once the guards are dead, maintain a second tank next in threat; after Conflagration, the recovered tank rebuilds threat behind the new active tank without turning Flame Breath through the group.
Healer
Keep space from the Conflagration target and switch attention to the tank now taking Drakkisath's melee hits. Anticipate heavier Physical damage when Pierce Armor is active.
Damage
Kill the assigned Chromatic Elite Guard before switching to the other, while Drakkisath is separated. During the boss fight, stay clear of his front and the Conflagration target, and leave the second tank room to take over.
