Adventure Guide

Once the proud leader of the Zanchuli Council, highest advisors to the kings of Zandalar, Zul was praised as the greatest of prophets. Now, the dark prophet has turned on King Rastakhan and would see a true troll empire rule the world once again, even if it means submitting to the blood god: G'huun.

Overview

Overview of tactics for the Zul, Reborn fight.

Zul begins the encounter assisted by the Forces of Blood. He will continue to summon additional Forces of Blood that the party must contend with while his energy fills. At 40% health, Zul no longer summons the Forces of Blood and becomes fully empowered with the Blood of G'huun, unleashing Locus of Corruption, spending his Elder Blood to afflict the raid with Corrupted Blood for the remainder of the encounter. Players must defeat him before the damage from Corrupted Blood overwhelms them.

Damage Dealers

• Move away from the party when afflicted by Dark Revelation.
• Dispelling Bound by Shadow from Minions of Zul will instantly kill them.
• Quickly kill the Animated Ichors summoned from Congeal Blood before they reach Zul.

Healers

• Dark Revelation and Deathwish deal high group damage.
• Dispel Deathwish before players leap to their deaths!
• Once Zul casts Locus of Corruption, the group will begin taking constraint damage for the remainder of the encounter.

Tanks

• Nazmani Crushers use Thrumming Pulse when their energy is full. Make sure they are not within range of their allies!
• Avoid melee attacks from Bloodthirsty Crawgs or use defensive abilities to reduce their healing from Hungering Maw.
• Rupturing Blood will create a large area of Ruptured Blood when it wears off - make sure you are far away from other players!
