Important Raging Tempest Trash Tips and Tricks

Upon defeating Granyth, mount up and fly towards the second boss of the dungeon – The Raging Tempest. The boss will be immune to damage until you break the 4 Stormsurge Totems, located around The Raging Tempest. Here are the most important non-boss-enemies you need to watch out prior engaging the boss:

  • Any player within 10 yards of the Primalist Arcblade will get “cleaved” because of his Arcing Strike, you can’t interrupt it but you can try to use stun or disturb effects to stop it.
  • Stormcaller Boroo, Stormcaller Arynga, Stormcaller Solongo and Stormcaller Zarii are identical mobs (different names), spread across all 4 packs that are required to be killed. Their ability Totemic Overload does AoE damage to everyone around the Stormsurge Totem. There is not really any way to avoid it unless you stay further than 40 yards, that’s why nuking it will be the best strategy.
  • Primalist Stormspeaker will be present in some of the packs to kill to “activate” the boss. Apart from his interruptible single-target ability – Stormbolt (it always goes on the tank) you should ALWAYS stop – Tempest as it radiates AoE damage with a stacking effect (DoT) that can be dispelled.
  • Beware when fighting Primalist Thunderbeast, the beast will occasionally cast Chain Lightning on a random player, the targeted person must not be within 10 yards of anyone so the spell won’t bounce. Make sure you run out of his Thunder Clap too if you are a melee player to avoid being hit.
  • Last but not least – Primal Stormshield. Having a Purge effect will have immense value because of his absorb Stormshield. Failing to remove his shield will take much longer to deal with him. In addition, the non-boss-enemy will cast Shield Bash on any nearby enemy (15 yards) so if you are ranged, you might want to be further away from them to avoid being “locked” on a cast.

Upon defeating the 4 Stormsurge Totem, the boss will be available to be engaged.


The Raging Tempest Boss Preview

The boss has an energy bar initially set to 50. It takes roughly 30 seconds until he enters his Electrical Storm “phase” which will be easier to deal if you use your personal defensives combined with your healer’s cooldowns. Keep in mind, as soon as the phase is over, it is rinse and repeat – Recharge Energy – > Cast his abilities – > Phase again. Here are a few important things to note before entering this phase:

  • The boss will occasionally cast Energy Surge. This is a high tank-threat ability that will buff The Raging Tempest. The good thing is, you can dispel it.
  • Periodically, every player in your party will get Lightning Strike. It is important to be spread out so you don’t accidentally “clip’ each other (imagine it as a massive Quaking mechanic). It will damage you upon expiration.
  • On Mythic difficulty, Lightning Strike will cause Electrical Overload, destroying any Lighting Orbs that get struck by it. Either collect them or make sure you don’t cleave them.

Here comes the most important mechanic of the fight: look around for Uncontrollable Energy, collecting the lighting orbs will grant you 5% increased damage and healing for 15 sec, with a stacking effect. The trick here is that each orb you “consume” will deal initial damage to you, so watch out and spread each of them equally among your teammates.

  • If you want to collect the orbs as a tank, that is great, but be mindful of the Wind Burst as you want to be in a melee range at all times.
  • Lastly, speaking about being in melee range, don’t stay too close to the boss because of his The Raging Tempest dealing damage to anyone standing directly underneath him.
