She believes that dragonkind was meant to be free and roam the world at will. She’s not the only danger over Azeroth; she’s attempting to free her fellow Incarnates from their prison.

Raszageth Strategy Guide
Raszageth is no pushover, but we’re gonna help you defeat her. This is a three phase fight with two intermissions.
Raszageth Phase 1
This lasts until Raszageth is at 65%. Tanks will have to swap after each stack ofElectrified Jaws. Healers will need to power throughElectric Scales. verify you don’t get pushed off the platform. If you’re targeted withStatic Charge, run away from the raid to a pre-assigned spot to prevent damage going out. When Raszageth reaches 100 energy, she’ll castHurricane Wing. It will cause a pushback; don’t get knocked off. Use the Static Charge pools to slow you; that’s why you need to drop them in specific places. We recommend dropping off the pools behind the raid.
Volatile Currentwill give everyone a bomb; spread out to minimize damage, then interrupt or purge it. They are invulnerable, so this is how you’ll get rid of them.Lightning Breathneeds to be dodged, as do theLightning Strikes.
Intermission
At 65%, the first intermission begins and lasts for two minutes. Raszageth will castStorm Nova, which will knock players back to lower platforms. Split the raid in half on the two platforms as indicated below. You want to go to the side platforms, not the center one.
Your goal here is to kill the adds as soon as possible, using the following priority:
During the intermission, make sure you dodgeLightning Devastation. Adds spawn with aSurgeshield; break it and burn the adds. Interrupt theStorm Boltfrom the Acolytes as much as possible. When your platform is clear, you can teleport to the bottom center platform.
Raszageth Phase 2
The second phase plays out similarly to the first. Raszageth will gain 100 energy and then gain a shield. You need to break it with a similar mechanic as Thaddius in Classic Wrath of the Lich King; stand next to those that share a similar polarity (positive or negative). This gives you bonus damage; standing next to opposite polarities will give you a DOT. If you don’t break this shield within 25 seconds, you’ll most likely wipe.
ensure you’re dodgingTempest Wing, interrupting/purging the adds fromVolatile Current, dodgingLightning Strikes, tank swapping onElectrified Jaws, and healing throughElectric Scales. One new thing to consider isFulminating Charge. Several players will be targeted with a bomb. After four seconds, it explodes and leaves behind a DOT. If you’re too close to other players, the bomb will jump to others. Run away from the group and make sure you don’t spread it.
When the Vault’s integrity reaches 0%, or the boss hits 25%, the next intermission begins. This time, an add spawns in the center of the room, ready for you to kill it. Avoid theBall Lightningit casts. Occasionally, the big add castsStorm Breath. It will teleport away and summon little adds. Burn those as soon as possible; they’re trying to reach the big add. If they do, the big add heals and deals more damage. We do not recommend letting this happen.
Once the add is down, it will knock you back to the original platform.
Raszageth Phase 3
We’ve reached the end of the boss. You’re still going to deal withTempest Wing,Fulminating Charge,Lightning Breath,Electric Scales, andLightning Strikes. Additionally, tanks will now deal withThunderous Blast. Use a mitigation cooldown during its two second cast, as it helps with the raid-wide damage that goes out after the cast, then swap tanks as it applies a vulnerability. Raszageth’sRaging Stormalso acts as a soft enrage; it slowly fills the platform with AOE pools that hurt.
