N'Zoth the Corruptor

This is a three phase encounter where you will alternate between inside of N'Zoths mind and outside of it. During each phase you must deal with various adds in order to reach the final phase where you can attack N'Zoth directly.

Throughout the entire fight you will have a Sanity bar, this functions in the same way that it did for the Carapace of N'Zoth encounter where if your Sanity ever reaches 0 you will gain the Gift of N'Zoth buff which will provide you with a 100% increase to your damage and healing done for 20 seconds. However, when this buff expires you will become a Servant of N'Zoth, and repeatedly cast Mental Decay on players in the raid which will reduce their Sanity.

Please note: During testing you were able to remove the Servant of N'Zoth mind control effect with Tremor Totem. I would highly suspect this to be fixed for when it goes live.

You are able to restore your Sanity with your extra action button ability Azeroth's Radiance which will start a 4 second channel restoring Sanity every second. 

If you move or cast a spell the channel will stop.

Phase 1 (Inside the Mindscape)

As soon as the encounter begins N'Zoth will transport everyone into the Mindscape where you will face against Psychus, and the Exposed Synapse tentacles. N'Zoth will have a shield around himself reducing his damage taken.

Mind's Eye

These surround the encounter area and will open periodically. When they do open they will cast Void Gaze.

Void Gaze - This ability will deal a small amount of Shadow damage and drain 5% Sanity from all players every second for 3 seconds.

Exposed Synapses

When Psychus has been killed you are able to interact with your body that was created when you entered the Mindscape and Restore Consciousness to return to the Physical Realm. 

N'Zoth and all tentacles alive will also be stunned for 30 seconds from Shattered Ego, this stun removes the damage reduction shield temporarily on N'Zoth in the Physical Realm.

Corrupted Neuron - These will spawn all over the room, regenerate 1% health every 2 seconds, and project a Veil of Anguish from their locations, the centre of the room, and the perimeter. The size of the Veil of Anguish around the Corrupted Neuron will reduce as their health is lower. If any players are stood within the Veil of Anguish, they will be affected by Anguish. They will take large amounts of Shadow damage, lose 10 Sanity every 2 seconds and their movement speed will be slowed by 33%.

Whilst you are under the effects of Paranoia all non-partner players will make you lose 5 Sanity every second if you are within 5 yards of them.

Eternal Torment - All players in the Physical Realm will take a light amount of Shadow damage when this is cast.

Mindgate - A portal to the Mindscape will open and half of the raid can enter at a time.

Tumultuous Burst - If no players are in range of the Basher Tentacle it will cast this spell. This will deal a moderate amount of Shadow damage to all players every 2 seconds for 10 seconds, and reduce Haste by 33% for 10 seconds.

Void Lash - This will deal a large amount of Physical damage and a moderate amount of Shadow damage every 0.8 seconds for 6 seconds. You will need to use a defensive/external on this.

Evolving Might - The tentacle will gain a stack of this buff every melee swing they make. This buff will increase their damage by 3%.

Corruptor Tentacle

Corrupted Mind - This spell can be interrupted. If it is not interrupted it will apply a debuff on the target which will deal a small amount of Shadow damage every 2 seconds for 10 seconds. If this debuff is not dispelled the player will lose 15 Sanity.

Spike Tentacle

This is the lowest priority to kill and for the most part can just be multi-dotted.

Pain Spike - This will deal a light amount of Shadow damage on their target.

Mindgate

This Phase is the same as Phase 1 however either Deathwing or Azshara & Sylvanas will join.

You will ideally have a set path in mind for how you handle this phase.
