Attacks and Abilities

• Melee: Zereketh's melee attack is shadow damage (~1300 base)
• Void Zone: Zereketh spawns Void Zones randomly around the room, void zones deal approximately 1000 damage (Heroic: 2300-2700) per second.
• [Seed of Corruption]: Zereketh casts Seed of Corruption on a random target.
  • Can be dispelled by Rogues' Cloak of Shadows.
• [Shadow Nova]: Zereketh casts a large radius Shadow Nova, which does about 2200-2300 shadow damage (Heroic: 3700-4500) and has a massive knockback. The nova can be avoided by LoS, and it has a casting time, so if your position allows for it, your dps can avoid it on any of the irregularrities on the wall.

Strategies

The fight is very simple, stay away from the Void Zones. Seed of Corruption is not dispellable and needs to be healed through, although this is rarely an issue. If you get the Seed of Corruption move away from the rest of the group to avoid unnecessary damage to party members. Also don't stand near people with the debuff. Ranged can avoid his Shadow Nova (~34 yards range (Heroic: 45)) by being at max range (. It is imperative that you get out of the void zones as quickly as possible because as soon as they spawn it is instant damage for 1200-1300 every second.

It is advisable for the MT to tank the boss with his back to a wall and just move up or down the wall as the void zones appear. This is to avoid getting knocked out of range of heals when Zereketh does his knockback.

Note: the void zones tend to be spawned underneath random players in the party INCLUDING the MT, everyone needs to be wary of them. Valid targets for void zones also includes totems and pets. If at all possible, spread pets and totems out. Totems are immune to the void zone damage.
