Pulled by the Jailer's chains from a distant, unknown realm, this malfunctioning guardian seeks to protect the inscrutable knowledge known as "cyphers". It uses the last of its power to obliterate any who would attempt to plunder the secrets of its enigmatic makers.
Elimination Pattern is the tank combo of this fight.
Sunder - Stand away from others.
[Heroic] 
Obliterate - Stack on a clump of players to split the damage.
The Tank Combo on Heroic is: Sunder (Tank 1) > Obliterate (Half the raid - Melee?) > Obliterate (Half the raid - Ranged?)> Sunder (Tank 2)
Dodge the 
Disintegration beam.
Don't stand under Sentry Orbs. You will be silenced.
When the boss reaches 0 Energy, let them cast at least one 
Purging Protocol.
After this bring the boss into an Energy Core to regain energy. You must remain inside the radius of the Energy Core whilst the boss is linked else you will die.
[Heroic/Mythic] For each Obliterate and Sunder combination use 
Celestial Brew and 
Dampen Harm/
Zen Meditation (for Obliterate)/
Fortifying Brew/Trinket/External.
Speed taunt the boss with 
Provoke to reposition it easily after a 
Meltdown.
[Heroic/Mythic] For each Obliterate and Sunder combination use 
Fiery Brand, 
Demon Spikes and 
Fel Devastation/
Metamorphosis to survive.
Infernal Strike to reposition the boss easily after a Meltdown.
[Heroic/Mythic] For each Obliterate and Sunder combination ensure you are standing in your 
Consecration and have 
Shield of the Righteous and 
Ardent Defender active for the first, third and fourth combo. 
Divine Shield for the Obliterate in the second combo. If your timings mean that you took fewer than two Purging Protocol hits then Ardent Defender may not be available and you should use 
Guardian of Ancient Kings instead.
[Mythic] 
Blessing of Spellwarding can allow a player without an immunity soak an Obliterate pair.
[Heroic/Mythic] For each Obliterate and Sunder combination use 
Spell Reflection, 
Demoralising Shout and 
Shield Wall/Trinket/External. If you're taking the 2nd part of the combo you can safely build up an 
Ignore Pain shield as well.
Sunder can be blocked.
Heroic Leap to reposition the boss easily after a Meltdown.
Rallying Cry is useful for Purging Protocol casts and will be available for every other Purging sequence.
[Heroic/Mythic] For each Obliterate and Sunder combination use both 
Barkskin and 
Survival Instincts to survive.
Stampeding Roar is useful to allow the raid position after a Meltdown.
[Heroic/Mythic] For each Obliterate and Sunder combination use 
Rune Tap, 
Anti-Magic Shell and 
Vampiric Blood. Be sure to 
Death Strike after the first hit.
Anti-Magic Zone is useful for Purging Protocol casts and will be available for every other Purging sequence.
During Purging Protocol the boss will attack faster so it is good to use a small cooldown here such as 
Lichborne (with 
Conduit) or 
Icebound Fortitude.
This boss has a very slow attack speed but each attack is big, be ready with Death Strike after each successful hit and do not waste Runic Power using it without being hit (unless you are at Runic Power cap).
This is a single-phase encounter where your time limit is based on handling the fight's mechanics. This will be the "patchwerk" fight of the raid, where high DPS and mechanical play levels will be key to beating the soft-enrage of running out of Energy Cores.
The boss will have an energy bar with a maximum of 60 energy. Mechanics they cast will reduce this energy amount.
Purging Protocol - When the boss reaches 0 energy Purging Protocol will be cast repeatedly. Each cast increases the damage Purging Protocol deals by 100%. However, Purging Protocol will also destroy all active Sentries.
You will want at least one cast of Purging Protocol to happen to kill the Sentries.
Moving the boss into an Energy Core will stop Purging Protocol and make the boss link with the Energy Core with 
Energizing Link. Whilst Energizing Link is active, the boss will still cast Disintegration and 
Threat Neutralization. Because of this, the raid should all be positioned on the boss to allow for easier movement from the mechanics.
Whilst Energizing Link is active. The core provides a protective barrier for the raid around it with 
Radiant Energy. If you are not inside the Radiant Energy barrier, you will take a near-lethal amount of Arcane damage from Unstable Energy.
When the Energy Core is empty, it will start to Meltdown. The raid will have 6 seconds to move away from it before it explodes.
Elimination Pattern - This is the tank swap of the encounter. On Normal mode, it is relatively straightforward as it will only have one ability in the "combo", which is Sunder.
The combo will happen once per energy cycle.
Sunder - A large amount of Physical damage will be dealt to all players within 6 yards of the tank, and any players hit will be debuffed, increasing their damage taken from Sunder by 300% for 20 seconds. The tanks must not be stood on each other.
[Heroic] Obliterate - This ability is added into the combo on Heroic and will happen directly after Sunder. Obliterate deals a large burst of Physical damage to the tank directly and splits a considerable amount of Arcane damage to players within 6 yards. The tank for this hit must be stood on other players to split the damage.
The Tank Combo on Heroic is: Sunder (Tank 1) > Obliterate (Half the raid - Melee?) > Obliterate (Half the raid - Ranged?)> Sunder (Tank 2). You can solo Soak the Obliterates with good cooldown management (See Class Tips/Tricks for more info).
Disintegration - This beam will target a random player. Anyone stood within the beam will take a large burst of Arcane damage and have a DoT applied to them for 6 seconds.
Threat Neutralization - Three players will be targeted by Threat Neutralization, and after 4 seconds an attack will fire at their location damaging them and any players within 10 yards.
Players with Threat Neutralization should move away from others. As you are trying to optimise your DPS on this encounter, it makes more sense for 3 people to move rather than up to 27.
Sentry Orbs
The boss will spawn these Sentrys throughout the fight with Form Sentry. Whilst they are active, they move around the room in a random pattern and deal damage randomly to the raid with 
Sentry Fire.
In addition to the damage dealt, any players who are close to a Sentry will be silenced and take damage from their 
Suppression Field.
