🔥 Mythic Boss Guide

Lightblinded Vanguard

Three-paladin council fight. Zealous Spirit bounces, consecrations crush, and every Avenger Shield late in the fight wants to kill you. This is how UH handles it.

Mythic Changes (vs Heroic)

⏱ 0:00

Zealous Spirit

Buff now bounces between all 3 bosses — damage increase + empowers their ultimate. This is the new defining mechanic of mythic.

🛡️ Prot Paladin (Bellamy)

  • Applies Tears Wrath (healing absorbs)
  • Avenger Shield hits all players at once — massive dispel
Strongly recommend 1 Mistweaver Monk — a single Revival dispels the entire cast.

⚔️ Ret Paladin

  • Shoots Divine Toll shields (dodge while soaking)
  • Divine Storm tornadoes that circle in

✨ Holy Paladin

  • Gains Ret Paladin soak (absorbs + soaks simultaneously)
  • More raid damage across the fight

Global Changes

  • Consecrations: 100% bonus damage + pacified inside. Drop side by side, never overlap.
  • Healing absorbs: now target 5 players (was 3 on heroic). Assign soakers.
🛠️

Pre-Raid Prep

⏱ 2:31
  • 4 dispels going out consistently — get the dispel WeakAura so healers know assignments.
  • Get the healing absorb WeakAura to show absorbs on raid frames.
  • Post-nerf: 4 dispels instead of 8, so fewer dispellers needed.
👥

Raid Composition

⏱ 3:30

Recommended: 5 Healers + Rogue

  • Healing requirement lowered post-nerf — DPS check is irrelevant when 5-healing.
  • Rogue reduces damage further — great value when DPS doesn't matter.
  • 6-heal no-rogue still works, but 5-heal is the play.
🎯

Key Assignment Rules

⏱ 4:35

Group Soaks (Execution Sentence)

  • Always target healers — with 5 healers = 5 eligible targets.
  • Assign 1 healer in the "duo" group to always float to empty spot if both duo healers are picked.
  • 3 solo-group healers: if NOT targeted, immediately go to the duo group's spot.

Healing Absorbs (5 assigned)

Good targets: Mistweavers (spot healing), Ret Paladin (increased healing taken), tanky DPS.
Avoid: Disc Priest (bad for taking absorbs).

Don't rotate — put all 5 on the same people every time for simplicity.

⚔️

Kill Order & Priority

⏱ 8:17

Bosses Always Ult In Order

1st Ult
🛡️ Prot
2nd Ult
⚔️ Ret
3rd Ult
✨ Holy

Goal

  • Kill Ret Paladin just before his 3rd ultimate
  • Then kill Holy before her 3rd ultimate
  • Kill Prot last

Opening

  • Lust on pull, focus Ret Paladin first (Avenging Wrath = damage taken increase)
  • After opener, swap to a non-Ret paladin to manage Ret's HP
📍

Positioning

  • Drag Prot Paladin far to the edge of the platform on first ult — buys space for the ending.
  • Interrupt War Chaplain's Blinding Light → she free-moves for a few seconds (critical for repositioning).
  • Move War Chaplain closer to her ult spot early — she's the hardest to reposition.
🛡️

Tanking Tips

  • Prot Warrior perk: Can spell reflect Exorcism cast AND Prot's Shield of Righteous secondary hit (big damage boost).
  • Speed taunt (Brewmaster) is huge — without it, pre-taunt and run out early.
  • On overlap tank combos, spam taunt immediately to get the boss back for the next swap.
💥

Soaks & Shields

If you must choose: take the hammer, NOT the shield — shields are the easiest way to die.
  • Always bait Elephant Charge in the direction you're moving.
  • Respect the elephant — it kills non-tanks instantly on mythic.

Empowered Searing Radiance

  • Stack for spirit link, but don't overlap with healing absorbs or it trolls.
  • Camera-turn to dodge shields behind you.
👑

Prot Paladin Ult (Important!)

Healing absorbs come from the spirit that spawns, NOT the Prot paladin herself.

You need to be closest to the spirit, not the boss.

☠️

Endgame (After Ret Paladin Dies)

  • All bosses gain stacking damage amp.
Every Avenger Shield after this = press a personal or die.
  • Focus Prot Paladin next (she cleaves down passively).
  • Save big defensives/immunities for late Avenger Shields and damage-amped tank busters.
