Interrupt Rotations

Per-fight kick orders. With 4 shamans we have the best interrupt density in TBC.

Per-Fight Rotations

Karathress — Caribdis Healing Wave (CRITICAL)

Caribdis casts Greater Heal on Karathress every ~6s. Must be interrupted every cast.

  1. Spoofy — Earth Shock
  2. Crpc — Earth Shock
  3. Jerzee — Earth Shock
  4. Ellic — Earth Shock
  5. Backup: Jays dumbass Kick, Nocharles/Saexgg/Bushpig Pummel

Karathress — Tidalvess Frost Shock

Bash from Bluelazer (bear). Backup Kandin Counterspell. Bandet + Dolmar instant-kill totems with Multi/Arcane Shot.

Solarian — Solarium Priest Greater Heal

Wave adds. Heal must not land.

  1. Spoofy — Earth Shock
  2. Crpc — Earth Shock
  3. Jerzee — Earth Shock
  4. Ellic — Earth Shock
  5. Jays dumbass — Kick
  6. Nocharles/Saexgg — Pummel

Kael'thas — Pyroblast (P4 / P5)

4-second cast, ~50,000 fire damage. One-shots most raiders. Cannot land.

  1. Spoofy — Earth Shock
  2. Crpc — Earth Shock
  3. Jerzee — Earth Shock
  4. Ellic — Earth Shock
  5. Jays dumbass — Kick
  6. Nocharles/Saexgg/Bushpig — Pummel
  7. Mafe/Kandin — Counterspell (last resort)

Kael'thas — Capernian Fireball / Conflagration (P1 + P3)

Mafe Counterspell on Conflag wind-up. Spoofy Earth Shock. Otherwise burn fast.

Kael'thas — Sanguinar Fear

Sanguinar's AoE Fear hits melee. Tank in corner. Spoofy Tremor Totem in melee. Jd or Kali Fear Ward on tank. Havitz Berserker Rage breaks fear when needed.

General principle: Earth Shock is the shaman interrupt in TBC — 6-second cooldown shared with all shocks (Frost / Flame). With 4 shamans we can chain Earth Shock interrupts every ~1.5 seconds provided Spoofy and Ellic reserve their shocks for interrupts on critical fights (Caribdis, Solarium Priests, Pyroblast) instead of using Flame Shock for DPS. Crpc and Jerzee are always available — no DPS shock conflict.

Wrath of the Astromancer (Solarian) is the only fight where one healer is dedicated solely to dispelling. Kali's only job in P1 is to dispel every Wrath cast onto an empty tile of floor.

Warlock Banish & Curse Rotation

3 warlocks unlock major raid utility

Banish Targets (Elementals only)

Banish only works on demons and elementals. Our key uses:

FightBanish TargetRotation
HydrossPure Spawns (Frost & Toxic)GladMetaGond — 30s banish, 45s spawn rate, perpetual coverage.
Vashj P2Tainted ElementalsRotate banishes; kill one at a time as core relay allows. Toxic Spawns are NOT banishable.

Curse Coverage

Only one curse per target at a time — assign which warlock covers which curse on a per-fight basis.

FightPrimary CurseCaster
All bosses (default)Curse of the Elements (–88 magic resist, +10% magic dmg taken — Arcane/Fire/Frost/Shadow only, NOT Nature/Holy)Glad
Hydross (when not banishing)Curse of the ElementsGlad
Karathress on CaribdisCurse of Tongues (slow casts)Meta
Vashj P1 / P3Curse of the Elements + Curse of RecklessnessGlad + Gond
Kael P4Curse of the Elements + Curse of Tongues on PhoenixesGlad primary; Meta tongues on Phoenixes

Soulstones (combat rezzes)

3 warlocks = 3 soulstones available per fight. Pre-place on:

Plus Morg's Divine Intervention if absolutely critical.

Why this matters: Banish on Hydross is a strategic edge that adds an estimated 15% kill speed and removes our "add tank" need entirely (Bluelazer DPS the boss instead). On Vashj it stops the chaos of 3-4 elementals up at once.

Master Healing Matrix

6 healers across all 10 bosses

Healers in our roster: Morg (Holy Pal), Jd (Holy Priest), Kali (Holy Priest), Crpc (Resto Shaman), Jerzee (Resto Shaman), Littlemoon (Resto Druid).

Role Model — How Each Healer Plays

Each class has a strength; the matrix below assigns by it.

PlayerSpecRoleToolkit
Morg Holy Paladin Primary Tank Healer Holy Light spam (best single-target HPS in TBC), Holy Shock on CD, Judgement of Light returns health to melee on hit, Greater Blessing of Kings raid-wide. Best at sustaining one tank through prolonged damage.
Littlemoon Resto Druid Tank HoT Maintainer + Raid HoT Blanket 3-stack Lifebloom rolling on MT (massive sustained healing), Rejuvenation on multiple targets, Regrowth as a quick top-up, Tranquility for raid emergencies, Innervate on a fellow healer for mana. Druids cannot use wands — for Inner Demons, shapeshift to Cat form.
Jd Holy Priest Raid Healer Circle of Healing (smart 5-target heal, 6s CD), Prayer of Mending (PoM bounces between damaged targets), Prayer of Healing for group AoE, Renew rolling on tanks, Fear Ward (TBC Anniversary universal), Mass Dispel for trash. Holy Priests are the best raid healers in TBC.
Kali Holy Priest Raid Healer + Specialist Same toolkit as Jd. Often the dispel specialist for fights with critical Magic dispels (Solarian Wrath, Vashj Static Charge). Pain Suppression doesn't exist in our comp; PW:Shield is the best tank-emergency absorb.
Crpc Resto Shaman Chain Heal Cluster + Buff Engine Chain Heal (with T5 2-piece, jumps an extra target — 4 bounces vs 3) is best raid heal in the game for stacked groups. Earth Shield (talent buff on tank, procs heals when tank is hit). Mana Tide Totem (5min CD raid mana). Mana Spring + Wrath of Air totems for casters group. Stoneskin / Strength of Earth for melee group.
Jerzee Resto Shaman Chain Heal Cluster + Off-Tank Healer Same toolkit as Crpc. Often takes the off-tank with Earth Shield + Lesser Healing Wave when an OT is present. Mana Tide rotation offset from Crpc by 90s for constant raid mana uptime.
The healing model in 4 layers: (1) Morg Holy Light spam keeps Havitz alive. (2) Littlemoon 3-stack Lifebloom + Rejuv on Havitz adds steady HoT layer. (3) Jd + Kali raid-heal via CoH/PoM/PoH. (4) Crpc + Jerzee Chain Heal cluster + Earth Shield wherever tank damage is needed. Shamans bring totems that the priests + paladin don't replicate — Wrath of Air (5% spell haste) for casters and Strength of Earth + Stoneskin for melee = effective raid DPS/EHP buff stacking on top of healing.

SSC Healing Matrix

BossMT (Havitz)OTRaid HealersSpecialist
Hydross Frost-side MT: Morg Holy Light spam + Littlemoon Lifebloom/Rejuv rolling Nature-side OT (Gayboi): Crpc Earth Shield + Chain Heal nearby melee Jd CoH/PoH on transitions; Kali raid-frame; Jerzee Chain Heal cross-side cluster Jd Water Tomb dispels
Lurker Central: Morg Holy Light on Havitz; Crpc Chain Heal melee cluster (T5 4 jumps); Jd mobile raid heals (CoH, PoM, Renew) — fastest to swim out and patch a struggling outer platform. Add Tank (Gayboi during Submerge): healer floats from nearest platform. Kali NW · Jerzee NE · Littlemoon S (HoTs through Spout swim, Entangling Roots on stray adds). Jd as floater — quickest Renew + CoH bail-out on any outer group.
Leotheras Demon-tank (Glad warlock): Morg Holy Light + Kali shield/heal (lighter cast load — Glad self-mitigates via Soul Link) WW phase (Bluelazer): Littlemoon Lifebloom + Regrowth + Jerzee Earth Shield Jd CoH on melee fixate damage (Jd has more gear, sustains CoH spam better than Kali); Crpc Chain Heal cluster Inner Demon: SOLO (no healing reaches the plane)
Karathress Morg + Littlemoon on Havitz (Cataclysmic Bolt = 50% HP spike — Holy Light + 3x Lifebloom layer) Tidalvess tank (Bluelazer): Crpc Earth Shield. Sharkkis tank (Gayboi): Jerzee Chain Heal cluster. Jd + Kali raid CoH; PoM bouncing on melee Kali backup heals on Caribdis ranged kiter
Morogrim Morg Holy Light + Littlemoon HoTs on Havitz Murloc tank (Gayboi): Crpc Chain Heal cluster heals tank + adjacent; Bluelazer (other entrance): Jerzee Jd + Kali Prayer of Healing through Earthquake AoE; Kali CoH on murloc cluster melee Outis Tranq backup if Watery Grave + Earthquake overlap
Vashj P1 Morg + Littlemoon on Havitz (Shock Blast spike — pre-shield from Jd helps) (no OT) Jd + Kali CoH on raid AoE; Crpc + Jerzee Chain Heal cluster damage Jd Static Charge dispels
Vashj P2 Morg + Littlemoon on Havitz Strider kiter (Bluelazer): Jerzee Earth Shield + Lesser Healing Wave during pursuit. Add tank (Gayboi): Crpc Jd + Kali CoH on relay carriers (HoTs from Littlemoon blanket whoever's holding cores) Crpc + Jerzee Mana Tide rotation (offset 90s)
Vashj P3 Morg + Littlemoon on Havitz; Lay on Hands ready at <15% Strider kiter: Jerzee Jd + Kali CoH/PoH spam through Poison Bolt Volley; Crpc Chain Heal cluster Littlemoon Tranquility during burn; Outis Tranq #2 if needed

BluelazerFrenzied Regeneration10s / 3min+30% max HP boost; converts rage to healing during Leotheras WW or strider stack
NO PAIN SUPPRESSION. Both priests are Holy. Kael Pyroblast survival relies on Shield Wall + Lay on Hands rotation, NOT Pain Sup. Plan accordingly.

Healing Cooldowns — Big Saves

Bloodlust / Heroism Plan

BossWhen to LustReason
HydrossPullBurn 20% before 1st transition
LurkerPullSkip a Spout cycle if pushed below 50%
LeotherasPullGet past 50% before 3rd Inner Demon
KarathressLast 30% of boss aloneAfter all advisors die — pure burn window
MorogrimPullSkip 25% murloc wave entirely
VashjPhase 3 entry (30%)Max DPS through Poison Bolt Volleys
Al'arP2 (after resurrect)Burn before soft enrage at 8min
Void ReaverPullLoot pinata, no reason to save
SolarianP3 entry (~20%)Max output during the burn phase
Kael'thasP5 (Gravity Lapse cycle)Critical burn window before second lapse

Lust comes from Spoofy primary (Ele in ranged group). Backups: Crpc, Jerzee, Ellic. Coordinate group placement so Lust hits the correct cluster (ranged DPS group typically).
