The Eye of the Jailer Mythic Boss Guide

The Eye of the Jailer unleashes dark energies at its current target inflicting 110,289 Physical damage. In addition, the impact radiates a portion of the damage inflicted to all other players as Shadow damage. This should be mitigated by the tank as much as possible in order to reduce the raid-wide damage portion of the mechanic.

Dodge the white swirls on the ground, if you are hit your damage will be reduced by 30% until you walk into each of the three images channeling into you.

Big laser mechanic, no difference on mythic from heroic - run to the opposite side the boss is casting the beam towards and click the extra action button to grapple around behind the boss and avoid the laser.

This mechanic is cancelled instantly if the boss is pushed to either of it’s 66% or 33% add phases, meaning your raid can be a little out of position for the adds so be careful with push timings. There is a grace period where you can grapple back over to the correct add before receiving the wrong debuff however.

This is the new mythic mechanic on the fight, 3 players will be applied with a debuff that slows players within 8 yards of them, causing them to take 5.5k shadow damage every 1.5 seconds if close by.

Countered simply by having the debuffed players stand away from the rest of the raid.

Raid-wide debuff that does 16k damage every 5 seconds and applies a stack of healing reduction, going up by 10% every stack until you are fully healing immune.

Basically - kill the boss before you die to this mechanic.

Some tricks: Immunities allow you to reset stacks of this mechanic so can be used at around 5 stacks or so just before the debuff is re-applied to drop stacks completely.

Use all healthstones and healing potions before the value of them is diminished completely - the same logic applies to any healing throughput CDs.

Absorbs are unaffected by the healing immunity so are very strong in this phase.

Every 50 seconds inside this phase, an Abductor will spawn in the air near the boss and cast Dragging Chains on one of your raid members - this mechanic should be soaked to split the damage and reduce the strength at which the add pulls affected players towards the edge of the platform. Generally 5 players is a good amount to soak with, less can be a little bit risky if someone’s starting position is too close to the edge.

A sprint rotation should be used to assist players in dealing with this mechanic.

You want to try and avoid pushing the boss into an add phase at 66% and 33% when a new Abductor is about to spawn as you cannot really afford to hit the Abductor during the add phases and it will do a lot of damage to the tank if left alive too long.

The boss will do a raid wide hit of 22k shadow damage, this occurs every 40 seconds inside the add phase, generally you will be aiming to receive no more than 2 of these hits per add phase. The second hit occurs when the raid has quite high stacks of Scorn and Ire and is generally quite spicy, defensive personal CDs should be used for this as well as big damage reduction/throughput healing CDs.

With enough DPS during the add phases you can skip the second Death Gaze, the boss will sometimes cancel it when you kill the eyes however this seems a little bit finicky and it does not always cancel - keep a close eye on the boss’ cast timer to see if the mechanic is going to go off or not.

Heroic chain lightning beam mechanic, don’t stand near allies until the circle around you is gone.

The eye that you are standing closest to will dictate whether Scorn or Ire is applied, a debuff that will explode if you run into a player with the opposite debuff - for those fellow boomers out there it is basically Thaddius mechanic from Naxxramas.

The simple way to handle this is split the raid in half and have one half go to the left eye and the other the right eye - make sure nobody from either side ever walks near anyone from the opposite side.

The damage of these debuffs ramps up over time, meaning that getting through these add phases ASAP is very important before the debuff starts to become unhealable - there is an option to have the raid swap adds midway through the phase to reduce the damage of the debuff but this is an overcomplicated way of handling the phase and is more of a signal that your raid needs more DPS than anything.

We generally approach this by assigning all melee + 2 healers to one eye, and everyone else to the other eye, as ranged DPS can swap targets fairly easily and balance out the HP of the adds without being in any danger of exploding a debuff.

Debuff that should be dispelled by healers.

Players will be debuffed and drop pools on the ground after a 5 second delay - these pools can be stacked in one place quite aggressively to save space in the room, however be careful not to overdo this as a stack of 5+ pools in one spot can start to hurt a player who runs into it.

General rule of thumb, keep these pools in the back area of the room so that the center area to fight the boss is clear and the space you need to run from the laser is clear
