Forgeweaver Araz Normal and Heroic raid guide! Forgeweaver Araz is the fourth boss of the Manaforge Omega raid of The War Within. This Forgeweaver Araz guide will walk you through the important healer, tank and DPS raid mechanics you need to clear this Manaforge Omega raid boss. Be sure to get your Reshii Wraps artifact cloak (from the K’aresh campaign questing) before you try to raid in Manaforge Omega!
Special thanks to Am I Muted - Thrall and friends for the raid testing group!
You fight Forgeweaver Araz in three phases. In P1, get into the tank soak to share damage and kill the large add that spawns. Players with Astral Harvest should run under the boss to drop their adds, which need to be slowed and finished before they reach their preferred Collector. Dodge energy motes coming from the Collector and the Silencing Tempest rings. Tanks can swap on two stacks of Overwhelming Power.
At full mana, Forgeweaver Araz begins a ritual and the Collectors become attackable. Start with the ‘activated’, or glowing collector that is gaining energy. Tanks pick up the Attendant adds, trade them when their damage ramps up and cleave them down with the collectors while dodging line attacks. The first two phases may cycle before P3 starts, when the final collector goes down or the boss reaches low HP. When Forgeweaver Araz channels into the central Manaforge, he takes 100% more damage in a burn window.
In Phase 3, the edge of the platform becomes a vacuum of growing strength. Keep away from it while you finish the boss. Run Void Harvest away from the edge, and prevent the adds from getting to the Singularity.
