Today, we will show you the best strategy to beat Soulrender Dormazain in World of Warcraft. 

Let’s get started!

Soulrender Dormazain Strategy

The Dormazain encounter in World of Warcraft requires the raid to avoid the telegraph mechanics and eliminate ADS that spawn in the back of the encounter area before reaching Garrosh Hellscream. 

Mawsworn Agonizers will also appear in the back of the raid area and start charging towards Hellscream while randomly casting Agonizing Nova, which should be interrupted. 

It’s recommended to grip or knock the Mawsworn Agonizers together and stand on them with Brand of Torment to take them down easier. 

Once Garrosh Hellscream becomes affected by Warmonger Shackles, raid members must interact with them and run away from their initial position until the chain breaks. However, you should do this with caution and avoid breaking more than one chain at a time to prevent taking raid damage. 

Player Roles

General

Players should move to the safe slice once Torment is used. When Warmonger Shackles bind Garrosh Hellscream, interact with the chain and run away until it breaks. Raid members should also stand on Mawsworn Agonizers affected by Brand of Torment. 

You should also avoid standing in the River of Souls near Garrosh Hellscream and move to the safe side each time a new one appears while Dormazain channels Encore of Torment. 

Tank

Tank players should taunt swap after each cast of Ruinblade. It would help if you also tanked the Mawsworn Agonizers near each other to take advantage of cleave. 

Healers

The raid takes burst damage from Unleashed Tyranny when more than one Warmonger Shackles is snapped, so be sure to top the affected players. Raid members with Brand of Torment will take constant damage and inflict damage on nearby allies. 

DPS

Damage dealers should prioritize interrupting Mawsworn Agonizers from casting Agonizing Nova and kill the Agonizers before they can get to Garrosh Hellscream. Take advantage of Time Warp when pulling. 

Other Things to Remember

Throughout the entire encounter, all raid members should take note of the following: 

• Avoid the red cones on the ground. When the boss gets full energy, multiple cones will generate in a row. 
• Interrupt and kill the caster ADS that randomly spawn at the back of the room before they reach Garrosh Hellscream. 
• Break each set of 3 shackles when they spawn near Garrosh and use raid cooldowns to survive them. 
• You have to interact with Warmonger Shackles and run away at least 40 yards to break them. 
• In Heroic difficulty, different players need to break each set of Soul Manacles. Swirlies also generate in this difficulty aside from red cones. 
• Stack the red circle debuff on the ADS to weaken their defense and armor.
