FIGHT OVERVIEW
This is a 3 phase encounter with 2 intermissions. Both bosses are linked and share health.
All phases are similar, as are the 2 intermissions.
In P1, use Takazj's web nets to stop Anub'arash's charges that will otherwise kill you.
In intermission 1, break Takazj'a shield before damage becomes unhealable. Dodge the cones.
In P2, dispel the swarms of Anub'arash next to Takazj to stop her Cataclysmic Entropy.
In intermission 2, break Anub'arash's shield before damage becomes unhealable and dodge the spike rings.
In P3, stop Anub'arash's charges and interrupt Takazj's lethal explosion casts.
Mythic Changes
At the start of the fight, both bosses cast a circle around them: a purple one for Takazj and a red one for Anub'arash.
Split your raid into 2 groups of 10. One goes to Takazj, the other to Anub'Arash. Players are marked with their boss' color for the whole fight.
If you don't get a color at the start, you die. Only 10 players can have the same color. If players from opposite sides run into each other then they die.
Most of Takazj's abilities will cause players who are hit to drop a mote of their color (red/purple).
Unsoaked motes will explode and apply a stacking DoT (red/purple) to all players of the opposite color.
Motes can only be soaked by players of the opposite color. When a mote is soaked, that player gains 1 stack of the DoT (red/purple). Players die if they reach 3 stacks.
Raid is always split into 2 groups that play far apart. Precise group movement is required to soak motes and avoid killing each other.
Anub'arash needs to charge through 3 web nets to be stopped.
Stinging Swarm is applied to 5 players and all 5 must be transferred onto Takazj within 10s to interrupt her.
Anub'arash's scarabs spawn with a 80% damage reduction that slowly decays over time.
Phase 1
Both bosses are linked and share health.
P1 lasts 2 minutes. Stop the charges by using the webs around the room.
Dodge the cones, kill the adds, and clear extra webs.

EACH GROUP STANDS NEAR THEIR

Whispers of the Silken Court
Permanent Mark
At the start of the fight, both bosses cast a circle around their hitboxes: a red one for Anub'arash and a purple one for Takazj.
Split your raid in 2. Each group stands in one of the boss' circles and gets assigned their boss' color for the whole fight (red mark/purple mark).
If you don't get a color at the start, you die. Only 10 players can have the same color. If 2 players of opposite color get too close, they die.
WHAT TO DO

SOAK MOTES LEFT BY OTHER GROUP.

Motes of Rage/Paranoia
Red/Purple Motes To Soak
Several abilities in all phases make players drop a mote of their color when hit (red mote/purple mote).
Motes explode after 15s, each applying an 8s stacking DoT on all players of the other color (red DoT/purple DoT). If 3 motes explode simultaneously, it's a wipe.
Motes can only be soaked by players of the other color. Soaking them applies a stack of the 8s DoT (red/purple). If you get to 3 stacks, you die.

Web Bombs
Web Puddles
Takazj drops webs in the room. The webs will detonate if a player touches them, dealing heavy damage to nearby players.
Players hit by the explosion are tethered together by a web that inflicts damage and slows them. They also drop a mote of their color. Moving 30yd away breaks the web.
Use the webs to stop Anub'arash's charge, otherwise the raid dies.

Boss' Charge
At 100 Energy, Anub'arash charges across the room, dealing massive damage to players in his path. If he hits the wall, the raid dies.
