The Temple of Utug-bûr - Thûr Hin


"As you enter Thûr Hin, the Lair of the Children, the smell hits you. Dust and copper, like blood in your mouth. A dozen wars were born here, along with thousands of soldiers. In the distance, you can hear two Utûgi arguing amongst themselves, their voices echoing through the musty hall."

Strategy Overview

Trash

The Orc-kind trash at the beginning of the raid consists of a few packs of orc-kind enemies. These enemies can easily be cleaved down without much thought. Target the Urâshi Captains first, as they summon additional enemies. Tanks should ensure that Utûgi Demolishers are always aggroed on them, as they have big damaging frontals.

The Sere trash is also not very dangerous. Kill the Sere Huntsmen and Sere Champions first, as they deal the most damage, then kill the rest. In Tier 3, players may be inflicted with  Arrow of Death, in which case they need to be fully healed.

Boss 1 - Khablag and Daikhag

This fight takes part in two phases. In the first phase, the group fights Khablag. Khablag applies  Eruption to random players, which drops the  Erupting Earth puddle. This puddle is extremely potent, so watch your feet to make sure you don't stand in it. Khablag additionally summons Orc Adds throughout the fight, even after death. Kill Khablag before swapping to the Adds.

Once Khablag dies and after a brief intermission while Adds are alive, the second phase begins. In this phase, Legolas must be healed up to full health by the group's healers. Healers should focus exclusively on Legolas. There are 4 Elven Menders that spawn around the room, who help to heal the group. Stand in the green puddles ( Healing Vapours) to get healed by the Menders. The DPS, Tanks, and Supports should focus on controlling and killing the Adds, as they will attempt to kill the Menders. If all 4 Elven Menders die, the fight resets. When Legolas reaches 50% Health, Daikhag spawns in. You don't need to kill Daikhag to end the fight, so simply have the Tank take control of the Boss. The fight ends when Legolas is healed to full.

Tier 2

In this tier, the Adds spawn in greater quantities and at a faster rate. The group DPS must thus be higher so that the Elven Menders are not killed. To ensure Legolas is healed quickly, it is recommended to have 3 or even 4 healers for this fight. Beware that for every healer the group adds, the first phase will become harder.

Khablag periodically gains a large number of  Stolen Strength Corruptions, which massively buffs the boss' damage. The Tank should use a cooldown whenever he gains them, and the group should quickly use their Corruption removal skills.

Daikhag periodically grants the tank  Dismissal, and runs away to hit an Elven Mender. The tank simply needs to taunt again. Because of this debuff, the tank controlling Daikhag should not be responsible for controlling other enemies.

Tier 3

Adds rapidly gain stacks of  Orkish Fury throughout the fight. When tiered up high enough, their abilities will begin killing players and Elven Menders. It is important that adds are killed before they reach 8+ stacks. There are a lot of adds, however, and they spawn in faster in this tier.

Urâshi Assassins have a new ability called Kill Legolas. Throughout the fight, they will run to Legolas in an attempt to deal severe damage. If Legolas dies in either phase, the fight resets, and any damage against Legolas in phase 2 will lengthen the duration of the fight. The Assassins also have an induction that grants them  Hidden in Plain Sight, and heals them. The Assassins will always run to Legolas. When they reach him, CC them and quickly kill them before they can gain their buff.

Dodge the  Infernal Mark puddles from the Urâshi Defilers, as they deal significantly higher damage in this tier.

The best strategy is to permanently daze the Utûgi Hunters and the Urâshi Captain. Enrage in the Utûgi Shatterers and stack together near the center altar to burn down the Shatterers, Urâshi Blood-spillers, Urâshi Defiler, and Utûgi Demolisher. Fear the Urâshi Archer away from the Utûgi Hunter to kill it separately. Kill the Assassins when they reach the middle.

3+ healers is possible for this fight, but it's much harder because of  Orkish Fury. Most of the time, 2 healers are used in this tier.

Boss 2 - Kormoltur, Lord of Terror

Before fighting the Boss, he summons a few Add waves, which can easily be killed. Beware of the Utûgi Demolisher Warlords, as they have a knockback ability. If a player falls into the green liquid in the arena, they immediately die, so make sure your back is never too near to the edge. Once the first two add waves are dead, the Boss becomes active, and the actual fight begins.

You may notice in this fight that you deal more damage than normal. This is because the Boss grants all players the  Gifted Strength buff. Although this buff is incredibly strong, it only lasts for 5 minutes, and is removed if the player dies. This effect serves as a soft enrage timer of sorts, as the group will almost certainly wipe if too many DPS players die, or if the fight goes on longer than 5 minutes.

Every 30s, the Boss will cast Whisper of Blood, which deals big damage to the raid. Additionally, by the statue of Kormoltur in the corner of the room, there will be a shield puddle that spawns periodically throughout the fight. When a player enters this puddle, they are temporarily granted the below skill:

 Shield of Blood

This skill temporarily protects the raid from Whisper of Blood. Before the fight starts, designate a player to run to the shield puddle and use the skill with every Whisper of Blood cast. While this ability will not directly wipe the raid, it can compound with other events to cause deaths. The skill and applied effect have a limited duration, so only grab and use the skill when the boss is about to cast his ability.

Throughout the fight, the Boss summons more Utûgi Adds from different locations in the arena. Have the Tank taunt the adds as they come in so that they don't kill the group. It helps to have the group stack up together. Also, the group will need to dodge two different Puddles that spawn. First, there are the  Whisper of Fire Puddles that rotate around the arena, that deal damage to the group. Second, there are the Whisper of Storm Puddles, that apply  Stunned. If you get stunned by one these puddles, it is incredibly important that you DO NOT USE your stun break!! This is because the Utûgi Shatterer Warlord apply  Dazed to random players, lasting for 30 seconds. Unless the group has a loremaster with  Sign of Power: Righteousness traited, you will be unable to do anything for 30 seconds, if you previously used your stun break.

Players should be aware of when they are slowed by  Whispered Weakness. While slowed, it will be harder to dodge puddles and run to the Shield of Blood Puddle. Look for the glowing yellow puddles: this puddle will remove the effect, restoring full movement speed.

Tier 2

The  Shield of Blood skill now has a longer cooldown, so two players will need to rotate to get the skill. It is best for the two supports to alternate getting this skill. Watch out for  Quivering Hate, which the Boss will apply on random players. This effect deals AoE damage on expiration, so the player with this effect should briefly step out of group when it's about to expire.

The Adds spawn in slightly faster in this tier. Have one of the tanks pick up the Adds as they come in, and bring them over to the Boss. The group should cleave them down while staying focused on the Boss. When the tank gains  Shadowed Lance, they should use a cooldown so that the Adds don't kill them.

Tier 3

The boss has  Ancient Power for the entire fight, meaning that the fight duration will be much longer than on lower tiers. Over the course of the fight, the boss gets stacks of  Resonant Strength, gradually increasing his damage. This fight is a tight DPS race as eventually, the boss will begin killing people with his Whispered Weakness AoE hit.

The  Shield of Blood skill has an even longer cooldown, so three players will need to rotate to get the skill. The duration of the applied effect is 4 seconds, the same duration as the boss' induction, so the skill must be used after the boss begins casting.

Players throughout the fight will be targeted by  Whispered Death. The effect can be removed by being healed to full; otherwise the player dies. Players affected by this effect should use pots and other personal heals, as there is a lot of damage in this fight.

Adds spawn slightly faster in this tier, and gain more dangerous abilities. Utûgi Shatterer Warlords apply  Tainted Blood to players, which adds an extra component of damage to the fight. Utûgi Bulwark Warlords cast Aim for the Heart, which will one-shot squishier players like healers or DPS. Supports should watch out for this cast and stun/daze them while inducting. At low health, the Bulwarks can gain  Dying Rage, which decreases their induction time. Supports should be extra careful here.
