If you’re wiping at Zekvir, it’s time to refine your strategy! We’ve got the ultimate tips for any class to tackle this encounter effectively. Follow these steps, and Zekvir won’t stand a chance!
Essential Addon: Deadly Boss Mods (DBM)
Before stepping into Zekvir’s Lair, make sure to download Deadly Boss Mods. The addon’s alerts are crucial to dodge Zekvir’s powerful abilities. This addon is a must-have for any dungeon or raid, so consider it if you don’t have it already!
Interrupt Zekvir’s Healing – Don’t Let Him Recover
Zekvir’s healing ability can turn a close win into a frustrating loss. Use the interrupt macro to stop him in his tracks without losing focus on your main target.
/target Zekvir
/cast (spell name)
/targetlasttarget
Destroy the Cocoon Fast!
When the Egg Cocoon spawns, you must destroy it as soon as possible. Set up macros for each damaging ability to ensure you prioritize the cocoon over Zekvir. Here’s a macro to target the cocoon first:
/targetexact Egg Cocoon
/targetexact [noexists] Zekvir
/cast [harm,nodead] (Spell name)
When you have problems DPSing down the cocoon before it hatches, make sure to save some sort of personal cooldown so you can deal increased damage.
Save Movement Abilities for Emergencies
Zekvir’s Fear and Claw Smash can catch you off-guard. Use DBM’s alerts, but always save movement abilities like Blink, Disengage, or Fel Rush for when you need them most. Moving at the right moment can be the difference between life and death.
Dispel Zekvir’s Spittle
Zekvir’s Enfeebling Spittle debuff can be deadly if not managed. Each class has specific dispel abilities at their disposal to counter it.
- Death Knight: Anti-Magic Shell
- Demon Hunter: Vengeful Retreat
- Druid: Shapeshifting
- Evoker: Deep Breath + Brann
- Hunter: Disengage (Posthaste talent)
- Mage: Blink, Barrier (with the snare-removal talent)
- Monk: Tiger’s Lust
- Paladin: Blessing of Freedom
- Priest: Fade (Phantasm talent)
- Rogue: Vanish, Cloak of Shadows
- Shaman: Ghost Wolf (Thunderous Paws talent)
- Warlock: Demonic Circle: Teleport
- Warrior: Avatar + Brann
Phase 2: Survive and Conquer
Zekvir’s second phase may seem easier, but don’t drop your guard! Here are the two key mechanics you need to watch out for:
- Angler’s Web – Portals spawn, creating a dangerous web. Getting trapped can lead to instant death, so stay alert and avoid them!
- Infinite Horror (Fear) – Fear orbs will fly in from the four corners of the room. Dodge them all to minimize damage.
