OpulenceLong ago, King Dazar had his golden treasury enchanted so that it would rise against anyone except its rightful owner. Many an unsuspecting thief has been slain by the very riches they coveted, serving as an important lesson to those who would steal from the throne.

Overview: In order to survive the battle with the Opulence, players must split their raid into two groups and battle through trapped hallways guarded by ancient Zandalari constructs to loot the Zandalari Crown Jewels, using their magical power to overcome the Guardian's overwhelming strength.

Tanks:
Position Yalat's Bulwark or the Hand of In'zashi with plenty of room to their left and right so players can dodge [Crush].
It is very difficult to survive against Opulence without the [Diamond of the Unshakeable Protector]. Swap tanks when the current tank is afflicted by [Depleted Diamond].
[Coin Shower] inflicts heavy damage in a cone in front of Opulence. Be careful of his facing when moving him.
Healers:
Ensure enough healers pick up the [Amulet of the Shadow King] to keep the raid protected with[Shadow-Touched].
Dispel [Hex of Lethargy] before players need to move.
Damage Dealers:
Quickly kill Spirits of Gold before [Gold Burst] becomes overwhelming.
Select a Zandalari Crown Jewel that interacts well with your role in the encounter and class abilities.
Stack with players to divide the damage of [Coin Shower].

King Rastakhan

For over two hundred years, King Rastakhan has ruled the Zandalari empire. Since the fall of Rezan, he has turned to a new patron--Bwonsamdi, the loa of death. The dark bargain he has made grants him the power to crush his enemies... but at what cost?

After Rastakhan's bodyguards have been dispatched, Rastakhan calls upon his Loa, Bwonsamdi, to come and aid him.
When Rastakhan reaches 60% health he demands that Bwonsamdi empowers him, causing Bwonsamdi to transfer a portion of his Death power into Rastakhan. After the transfer, Bwonsamdi shifts to the death realm, pulling half of the party with him.
Once Bwonsamdi is taken to 50% he abandons Rastakhan and teleports all players in the death realm to the realm of the living to finish the fight with Rastakhan.

Comment by DrorithThis should be great! Good luck to all those testingComment by Saulot13Ever since hearing about Opulence, I've been looking forward to seeing Opulence on Heroic and Mythic to see what they come up with for ideas with how they use that treasure against us, lol. I really like the idea of each faction getting different boss fights as well :D
