How to Handle Emberdawn's Intermission With Ease in Windrunner Spire

The party suffers damage over time for the entire intermission that the Healer needs to be ready for.

A small pushback effect is placed on the party.

The boss casts multiple Fire Breath cones, with the first frontal cone pointed at the Tank and each subsequent frontal cone rotating counterclockwise.

Previously placed Ignited Ember lava pools spawn Flaming Twisters that players must dodge.

Emberwing Intermission Strategy

A few seconds before Burning Gale starts casting, the Tank will want to position themself to bait the first Fire Breath away from other players.

Based on where the Tank is positioned, other players will want to stand to the left of the Tank. Because the Fire Breaths rotate counterclockwise, positioning yourself this way gives you the longest time before you have to dodge a Fire Breath.

Watch your feet for any stray Flaming Twisters that spawn during the intermission. These spawn from the Ignited Embers lava pools.

If needed, use a defensive, Healthstone, or Health Potion to keep yourself alive from the DoT effect.

Comment by LirililaI hope they dobnt m ake classic + raids like retail, slop mechanicsComment by kaizuimSo handling it "with ease" is just doing the mechanic the way you're supposed to?Comment by Spanky2kTips are always good but handling Emberdawn has never been an issue to me in groups Windrunner. What is consistently the problem is that there are an insane number of interrupts in the dungeons and 1 out of 3 dps in pug groups consistently seems to be missing the interrupt spell and doesn't have any stuns. Then even in runs that go well, someone will get a d/c when using one of the teleports in the dungeon and it's game over on the timer.Comment by LinaoriI still don't know how the frontal works or what the hitbox is... I've never been hit by it on the edges, despite the effects clearly being around me

They've really done a bad job showing accurate telegraphs there.Comment by Nagganxthe only thing that kind of bothers me with this fight, is the fire breath not being that great visually. they should have made it a little bit easier to see.Comment by WizeGuyWoWI hope they dobnt m ake classic + raids like retail, slop mechanicsComment by Nirty666I hope they dobnt m ake classic + raids like retail, slop mechanicsComment by PveMannoI hope they dobnt m ake classic + raids like retail, slop mechanicsComment by MmmmhashSo handling it "with ease" is just doing the mechanic the way you're supposed to?Comment by DindongI hope they dobnt m ake classic + raids like retail, slop mechanicsComment by Ilanarathe only thing that kind of bothers me with this fight, is the fire breath not being that great visually. they should have made it a little bit easier to see.Comment by ReciTerokkarthis is very helpful, 8 weeks into the seasonComment by LirililaHaHaHaHa there is a reason classic has more players and raiders than slop retailComment by LirililaHaHaHaHa there is a reason classic has more players and raiders than slop retailI hope they dobnt m ake classic + raids like retail, slop mechanicsComment by ZancrusI hope they dobnt m ake classic + raids like retail, slop mechanicsComment by DakzixThey should have mentioned that if you're tanking this, you want to keep the boss near the edge so that melee doesn't have to run very far to drop off their puddle. As people get puddles to drop off, slowly move him around the edge of the room to allow melee to still be able to drop off and return with as little dps downtime as possible.Comment by SirMuttonChopsWow.

If people are still having trouble with that mechanic this late into the season maybe they should go back to m0...Comment by SeniaaTips are always good but handling Emberdawn has never been an issue to me in groups Windrunner.
