The Venomous Abyss
The Venomous Abyss Race to World First Coverage
Though a major two target cleave encounter, the Twin Fangs also requires an alarming number of interrupts on Mythic difficulty, as well as crowd control similar to Raszageth before Caustic Globule can be soaked. Protection Paladins also proved very important on this encounter, not only for interrupts but also for a clever strategy using Blessing of Spellwarding to keep players alive while oversoaking Eternal Venom beyond the 9 stacks that would normally kill them. While dying this way spawns three new orbs, this strategy allowed allowed assigned players to soak more than 9 stacks before Spellwarding ran out, effectively removing 6 or more stacks from the encounter. If this assigned player was a Shaman, they could even use Reincarnation to save a battle rez!
