Aku'mai
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruAku'mai is the final boss of Blackfathom Deeps, a monstrous blind beast of the deep worshipped by naga and Twilight's Hammer cultists. It is the hardest encounter of the dungeon: heavy physical damage and a terrifying roar demand positioning discipline.
Tactics
- Tank holds the boss at a wall. Aku'mai periodically uses a terrifying roar. Press the group against a wall or into a corner so feared players don't run far and pull remaining mobs.
- Healer boosts tank healing. Aku'mai's physical damage on the threat holder is high. Keep the tank near full health so a badly-timed fear on the healer doesn't cost a life.
- Clear the approaches first. Naga and murlocs roam the lair before the boss. Remove them before the pull — during a fear any extra mob is dangerous.
- Dump cooldowns between roars. Between roars, deal maximum damage with all cooldowns and consumables to close the fight before the next scatter.
