This week's affixes are Tyrannical, Sanguine, Storming, and Encrypted!

Sanguine and Storming are both technically intensive affixes, especially for tanks! Melee players will need to be careful of the Storming affix as well, while anyone with crowd control effects, especially knocks, should be helping manage Sanguine.

We also now know that Season 4 will be coming soon, and with it, Season 3 and the chance to earn its rewards will be ending. There’s only one more Tyrannical week after this one left in the season, but note that it is going to be an easier one for most groups, featuring Bursting and Volcanic, so this week isn’t your last chance to pick up any Tyrannical score that you need.

De Other Side [back to top]

De Other Side is a fantastic dungeon to use the Wo Cypher in to zoom around the dungeon. The Route with Encrypted Skips offered below will require you to target the Wo several times throughout the dungeon, but it’s a very fun strategy that can also save a lot of time so try it out if you’re able to!

Halls of Atonement [back to top]

The traditional skip from the first to second boss in this dungeon can be done with a Wo Cypher now, which our route uses! If you want to modify the plan, you can of course still use other methods to do this skip such as Shroud or Invis pot or indeed kill mobs along the way instead.

Mists of Tirna Scithe [back to top]

Mists begins with a new pull that hasn’t been done in previous seasons to get access to a Wo Cypher and zoom to the first boss. You’ll need to be extra cautious and hug the wall while executing this in order to avoid the true sight mobs! After that first skip, the remaining Encrypted mobs are all up to your preference, though it’s very valuable to line up a damage cypher with the burn phase on the first boss.

Plaguefall [back to top]

It’s one of the roughest Plaguefall weeks due to the combination of Tyrannical empowering the dungeon’s brutal bosses and trash affixes that increase the difficulty of already technically intensive pulls.

Do remember that Gushing Slimes in the first boss room will drop Sanguine and should be killed carefully while moving to avoid too much healing.

Sanguine Depths [back to top]

We’re offering two Sanguine Depths routes - one with no skips and the other with a few skips to make the dungeon faster and/or less lethal - importantly, these are not Wo Cypher skips but old-fashioned Shroud, death, or invis pot skips, so do not use that route if you aren’t equipped to execute those!

Sanguine and Storming combine to make a nasty middle portion of this dungeon, and the bosses in here remain seriously challenging as well, so it’s another dungeon to treat with extreme respect this week.

Spires of Ascension [back to top]

The traditional skip past the nasty enemies before Oryphrion is now possible with a Wo Cypher, so you don’t need to hop around the walls and use two-seater mounts or anything any more!

Sanguine is potentially a problem in several of the early pulls in this dungeon - generally any that include a Goliath - make sure that stuff doesn’t die underneath these CC-immune enemies!

The Necrotic Wake [back to top]

A Wo cypher in this dungeon also facilitates the traditional skip to the second boss, so we’re including that plan in our route. It’s also worth noting that the Spear weapon available in this dungeon does increase the boss’ damage taken from your abilities while it’s active, so it’s great to combine with either the Vy or Urh Cyphers for even more damage on bosses that you’re spearing.

Pulling trash onto the first boss with the Kyrian Anima Exhaust from the downed goliath is a great strategy - the Anima Exhaust actually provides a lot of free damage and group-wide healing as long as you’re fairly close together.

Theater of Pain [back to top]

There are no required uses of any Cyphers in our route for this dungeon, though if you’re looking to experiment you could try using the first Wo cypher in Gorechop’s wing to skip down to the bridge!

The Ancient Captain is a great candidate for Control Undead if you’re playing with a Death Knight - if you don’t have one, you can also consider skipping that pack and making up the count elsewhere!

Tazavesh: Streets of Wonder [back to top]

We’ve updated our Streets of Wonder route - it now uses one Wo cypher skip near the start of the dungeon to get past two overseers after the first boss. If you’d prefer, you can just kill these mobs though they are annoying and then cut something from later in the dungeon.

Tazavesh: So’leah’s Gambit [back to top]

Check out our quick-start guide to Tazavesh to learn the most important abilities to look out for in this dungeon!

We’ve updated our So’leah’s Gambit route to skip the first Adorned Starseer in the last room - this can be done simply by walking around to the side. In the Murloc area, you’ll need to get every pack while hugging left (including two of the patrols of the small murlocs) plus one other pull of either a giant or murlocs.

Sanguine in the Murloc area is often quite frustrating - saving not just CC but burst damage for as the pack starts fleeing can help mitigate it.
