The Weekly Route Series showcases Mythic+ strategies that are tailored towards Beginner and Intermediate levels of Mythic+ with the following criteria in mind:

• Easy to execute - particularly in pick-up-groups (PUGs)
  
• Good tradeoffs between skipping the most difficult enemy forces while not requiring overly complicated strategies or “tech” to do so

This week, the affixes are Tyrannical, Storming, and Raging.

Get ready to spend the majority of your key time on bosses this week with Tyrannical; if you’re moving into higher keys this week, you may want to consider defensive or survivability talents for the long boss fights. Trash might also be rough this week, thanks to Storming AND Raging. Use your stuns early on in your trash pulls, and save your interrupts or knockbacks for Enraged mobs.

If your group has limited de-enrages (Druid, Evoker + Oppressing Roar, Hunter, and Rogue), we’ve provided a list for each dungeon detailing the mobs you’ll want to prioritize when removing Raging.

If you need a refresher on the affixes, be sure to check out our affixes guide!

RUBY LIFE POOLS

Prioritize these mobs when removing Raging:

• On the way to Melidrussa Chillworn: Primal Juggernaut and Defier Draghar
  
• On the way to Kokia Blazehoof: Primalist Flamedancer and Flamegullet
  
• On the way to Kyrakka: Tempest Channeler and High Channeler Ryvati

Keep Storming in mind when positioning for the following notable trash abilities: Primal Juggernaut’s Crushing Smash, Defier Draghar’s Blazing Rush, and Blazebound Destroyer’s Inferno. Try to fight as much trash as you can in open spaces so Storming doesn’t catch you off guard and knock you over the edge between Kokia Blazehoof and Kyrakka.

Some groups utilize an invisibility potion as a pre-potion before they start the key in order to skip the first Primal Juggernaut. The idea is to do a larger and riskier first pull with Bloodlust. This strategy may become more popular as the season progresses. The downside of skipping this first Primal Juggernaut is that if anyone dies, players must use another invisibility potion to rejoin the group.

Depending on the Fortified or Tyrannical, each route may or may not include Thunderhead or Flamegullet. There are several ways to walk past these two mini bosses however always keep in mind their landing spots and where they are in their patrol pattern:



Here is an excellent Kyrakka weakaura to help you visualize the way the Flaming Embers move during the fight. If you are looking at the boss with the room’s entrance behind you, the arrows will tell you which way the puddles will move with the next cast of Winds of Change. Try it out and let me know what you think!

ULDAMAN

To find Uldaman, take the portal to The Badlands in Valdrakken, shown on the map below:

After Emberon, you can utilize a wall hug skip to avoid a painful Ebonstone Golem. No special tricks or abilities are required – all you need to do is walk your character into the wall and slowly inch your way towards the other side of the room. This skip is marked with a gold exclamation point (!) on our route. Check out this clip to see the skip in action:



Depending on your count, you may not want to pull the double Infinite Timereaver pack in the room right before the final boss. There are a few ways to skip this pack without needing to use an invisibility potion, which we discuss in this quick R.IO Snapshot:
