WoW SoD Phase 2 Viscous Fallout Guide for Gnomeregan Raid

This is the second boss in the Gnomeregan Raid. This encounter is not as difficult as the first one, however there are still things to look out for to avoid unnecessary wipes.

WoW SoD Phase 2 Viscous Fallout Primary Abilities

We will go through all of the abilities of the boss so you can have a better understanding of what to expect from the encounter. 

• Sludge - Spawns a pool of toxic slime that inflicts 150 Nature damage every 1.5 seconds and slows players by 50%.

It might be difficult to see this but just make sure to constantly kite the boss away from the pools.

• Summon Irradiated Goo - Summons 3 Irradiated Goo.

You will have to keep the boss away from small bindings on the ground that are called Desiccated Fallout. If the 3 summoned Irradiated Goo reach the bindings a Desiccated Fallout will spawn you will have to kill. It has the Radiation Burn ability that needs to be kicked.

WoW SoD Phase 2 Viscous Fallout Tips

We will be covering tips for all roles in the Gnomeregan Raid during the second boss encounter.

Tank Tips

• Make sure to kite the boss away from the pools and bindings on the ground so that melee DPS can keep uptime on the boss.

Melee Tips

• Make sure to focus the three Irradiated Goo ASAP to prevent an add spawn.
• Should a Desiccated Fallout, make sure to save your kick for Radiation Burn 

Ranged Tips

• If you are not assigned to a Static Arc soaking group make sure to stay in melee range as close as possible to not cause any mishaps when ranged groups are switching place.
• Save your instant casts when you have to swap places or when the boss forces you to spread out. 

Healer Tips

• Keep the tank topped up and look out for raid-wide healing due to Sludge. 
• If Desiccated Fallout manages to cast Radiation Burn, be prepared to heal the entire raid. 

And that is everything you need to know about the Viscous Fallout boss encounter in the new Gnomeregan Raid.

Good luck, Champions of Azeroth and may the RNG Gods bless you with some great loot in World of Warcraft Season of Discovery Phase 2!
