Norushen Flex guide - Siege of Orgrimmar Patch 5.4

Norushen Flex Guide
First if you want ultra in depth stuff then check out my Normal mode guide. This guide is for flex which is quite a bit easier, so while this guide will definatly get you clean kills you maay want to see a more detailed version if you are a raid leader.
With that said, lets get into the fight.
First - Corruption. Basically you start at 75%. Dps do 50% damage with it like this, so clearing the corruption "purifing" is what you want to do. Its cleared by doing a "test" phase which is entered by clicking on the yellow orb.. Ill cover this later.

Now tanks. He does an ability called self doubt. Swap after that - the usual affair here.
He will do a big beam drumumu style called Blind Hatred. Simply dont stand in it.
There are also adds. These spawn in when the players in the dps test kill an add inside there. There are big adds and small adds. For the big ones nuke them and then have the next player who is going into the test phase to stand inside the void zone they drop. Standing in the void zone gives 25 corruption,, so thats why you want to do it on the player who will be going into the next test phase.
Next we have small adds. They spawn when a small add is killed inside the dps test phase. These should be nuked. They cast a spell on the boss that buffs him. The spell travels really slowly so players should stand between it and the boss.
He does raid damage that increases as the fight goes on. Stack for better healing.
Now test phases. Essentially you must prioritise clearing corruption from the dps. In our attempt we would send in a dps and utility person (tank or healer) through the two yellow orbs to do their tests. This is best discussed with your group. Now lets talk about the tests
- Tank test - You need to survive its abilities for 1 min. Stand out of the AOE Cone. It will cast "hurl corruption" which needs to be interrupted. Prepare to take high damage and use CDs
-Healer Test - There are friendly and hostile adds. Keep the firendlys allive so they kill the hostile. Dispell lingering corruption.
-Dps Test - Nuke the big add, stay out of the cone. Kill small adds. Avoid the things if possible.


At 50% health and each subsequent 10% he will summon a big add. You need to kill the big adds and get someone to stand on the void zone they drop to soak it. These cant be ignored. Other than that just burn the boss down and you will get the kill. Some people are experiencing hard enrage bugs where he enrages 3 mins to early.
