These masters of the elements are ruthless in their pursuit of power. Embar Firepath is as merciless as the fire she commands. Opalfang wields the might of the earth to crush her enemies. Kadros Icewrath is cold and cruel, while his sibling Dathea Stormlash is as wild and unpredictable as a raging storm.
Primal Council is a single phase encounter with four bosses.
Opalfang & Embar Firepath are melee bosses and require tank swaps.
Kadros Icewrath & Dathea Stormlash are caster bosses and require interrupts.
These bosses do not share health and when a boss dies it will channel its Convocation ability which deals increasing damage until all other bosses are defeated.

There are moments in the fight where multiple mechanics overlap, these periods have been highlighted on the table below (The below table was made using data from my Mythic Testing, this may not be accurate once the raid goes live. It will be updated if timers change).
| Earthern Pillar | Meteor Axes | Primal Blizzard | Conductive Marks |
| 7s | 19s | ||
| 30s | 25s | 40s | 1m |
| 1m | 1m10s | 1m25s | |
| 1m30s | 1m50s | ||
| 1m55s | 1m50s | 2m10s | 2m15s |
| 2m20s | 2m30s | 2m45s | |
| 2m45s | 3m10s | ||
| 3m15s | 3m10s | 3m30s | 3m35s |
| 3m40s | 3m50s | 4m50s | 4m10s |
To explain the overlaps in more detail:
Overlap 1 - Pillars & Axes, you want your ranged to move out of the Axes as a group to spawn the pillars nearby to each other
Overlap 2 - Marks & Pillars, you need to spread after baiting the pillars to avoid spreading the Marks.
Overlap 3 - Same as Overlap 1.
Overlap 4 - Marks & Blizzard. This is deadly. Throw cooldowns at it!
Overlap 5 - Same as Overlap 4, but pillars spawn directly after the Blizzard ends.
You will want your raid cleanly divided into two teams. Melee & Ranged. They need to stay together and move around the room together. I would recommend your ranged stay near the middle and your melee move around the edge of the room clockwise.
Pillars will only spawn on ranged players and players not in melee. You want these pillars to be grouped together to destroy them with Meteor Axes. Failing to destroy them can lead to eventually being overwhelmed with Pillars and dying as each Pillar deals ticking damage to the raid.
You want to clear this as late as possible. There are 14 ticks of the Blizzard in total and if you reach 10 you will be Frozen Solid and need to be freed. I would recommend clearing at 5-6 stacks.
It is important for your Ranged DPS to keep an eye on the two caster bosses as they will not move unless they are interrupted. If melee have to move to a new location it is up to the ranged to interrupt the bosses so they join the rest. It is a DPS loss to leave the bosses behind!

There are four key changes for Mythic:
- Conductive Mark does not expire. This means that you need to run into Earthern Pillars to remove your debuff.
- Conductive Mark will always spawn on 8 players.
- Four Earthern Pillars will spawn each cast (up from 3).
- Clearing your Primal Blizzard stacks will consume the Scorched Ground. Only dip into it once to clear your stacks. Going into it more than once will mean that other players cannot clear their debuff.
In addition to the usual healer cooldown management you will need two groups of ranged players with at least 4 players in each ranged group.
You will want to have 3 groups of players for this boss. One big melee clump and two ranged clumps with at least 4 players in each.
Two groups of ranged with set movement left and right
The pillars will spawn near the ranged and they split apart to their sides
Place these axes on the two ranged group and keep the pillar closest to the boss for melee
A melee pillar is left over and fires are used by their respective groups
The melee clump will aim to stay in the middle of the room (but may get forced out of the middle from pillars and fire) and the two ranged groups will start near the entrance of the room and move left or right depending on what their group is doing.
For every set of Meteor Axes put one on each ranged group and clear as many pillars as possible (whilst keeping at least 1 pillar in the middle for melee).
New pillars will spawn shortly after the Meteor Axes so each ranged group will have pillars again and melee keep their pillar in the middle.
