⏱ Berserker: There is no hard berserker. Soft enrage: the longer the battle drags on, the faster and denser the waves of adds come - you can’t drag it out.

Review

Valythria Dreamwalker is a green dragon captivated by the Scourge and the tenth encounter of the CLK, the first of two bosses of the Frostwing Halls (before Sindragosa). The battle is unique: the boss is not killed, but healed. Valythria starts with ~50% HP, and the raid needs to heal her up to 100% while healers keep stacks of Emerald Energy in the portals, and tanks with DPS fight off waves of adds from the side corridors. As soon as the healing is brought to 100%, Valithria wakes up and demolishes all the undead in the hall.

General tips
  • Sources do not give exact HP values ​​for the boss - the guideline is “heal from ~50% to 100%”, the numbers are approximate.
  • Take ~10 heals (part of the DPS in the heal-offspec): there is little point in more, only 8 people can fit into the portal (at 25k).
  • DPS priority: skeleton arsonists → suppressors → archmages → blister zombies kite separately.

Positioning

Valithria sleeps in the center of the hall, surrounded by the Resurrected Archmages holding her. The battle starts with an attack on the magicians. The raid is divided into two sides (left/right) with corridors from which adds come.

🛡 Tank
Two tanks on the sides of the hall catch the adds running out of the corridors. Keep the voracious abominations facing away from the raid; Blister zombies can be drowned/kiteted, but not dragged into the raid.
✨ Healer
For about a minute, all the healers stand around Valithria and flood her. With the advent of portals, some of the heals go to Dream State for stacks, 2 heals always remain at the top on tanks and the raid.
⚔DD
Range can stand at the boss with his back to Valithria - it’s convenient to cut trash. Switching is strictly by priority: skeleton arsonists → suppressors → archmages; Blistering zombies are kited and finished off by individual rangers.
