Maut - Normal and Heroic | Game Guide, Video Guides | Guías WoW

Hello guys. We continue with the guides of the new Ny'alotha gang, City of Awakening with the encounter against Maut in its normal and heroic modes.

Ny'alotha, City of Awakening

Enter the abode of nightmares in Ny'alotha, Waking City, a band deep in the void-pregnant heart of the Black Empire. Face unhinged heralds and inscrutable terrors, in the end, come face-to-face with N'Zoth himself in the ultimate battle for the survival of Azeroth.

The sleeping city of Ny'alotha has awakened. For the first time in millennia, N'Zoth takes his throne in the Black Empire. Their armies emerge from dark chambers to once again wreak havoc on Azeroth. With the world shaken by these invasions, a desperate plan is hatched: the champions of the Horde and the Alliance meet to face this ancient enemy in their own kingdom in a final battle that will decide the fate of the universe.

When the ancient aqir rose from the desert sands, their prophets began building an obsidian destroyer imbued with the essence of the ancient Gods. Dominated by an insatiable thirst for magic, Maut consumed the mana of his creators upon awakening, leaving their bodies to rot in the blazing sun of Uldum.

Summary

Maut gains mana by Devour magic and leaves behind magical voids of Devoured abyss. Upon reaching his maximum mana, Maut is clothed in Obsidian skin and prepares to defeat a Obsidian Fragmentation. When the cast completes or the mana shield is depleted, Maut comes back to life to drain magic from his enemies.

On this occasion, we once again have the collaboration of Yuki and Zashy and its splendid video guide.

Strategy

Normal Mode

Phase 1

The first phase of this combat will last until Maut's mana reaches 100 points.

The combat begins and while the tank controls Maut, the rest of the band will have to position themselves close to take advantage of the healing areas. Tanks should be exchanged every 2 or 3 marks of Shadow claws that leave damage over time or what is better, exchange it when the Manifestation of darkness.

Maut will continually gain mana and we must prevent it from accumulating extra mana that comes from other sources.

The first is Devour magic, a damage that will affect 3 or 4 players who at that moment will have to move away from Maut a bit to leave after detonating a kind of puddles called Devoured abyss. These zones will make that if we stay inside they silence us, damage and drain mana. Nor should we keep them far from the band since Maut is going to use a deadly ability, Stygian annihilation, and we can only avoid their damage if we are inside one of them. Before I finish launching this ability we will enter one of these zones, we wait for it to detonate and we will exit them.

Another of the skills of this first phase is Manifestation of darkness, which will attract us and detonate at 12 meters after a few seconds. A void of darkness will then appear and try to give Maut its mana. This void must be tanked, so as I said at the beginning after each Manifestation of darkness it is a good time for the tank swap.

The tank that has the voidman must place it on top of one of the zones so that it is always silenced and cannot use Dark offering who will transfer manna to Maut. This void will also not be able to be within 20 yards of Maut or it will be absorbed by Maut and a significant amount of extra mana will be added.

The longer this first phase lasts, the better. Once Maut reaches 100 mana points, phase 2 will begin.

Phase 2

Maut will turn into an obsidian statue and will become immune to damage. While this lasts, he will lose mana until his shield is depleted. At the same time it will also return 100% of the damage taken in the form of Arcane damage. We will have 1 minute to lower the mana to zero or it will detonate killing the raid.

Maut will try to gain extra mana by means of orbs that will appear from random areas towards him. We must intercept them before they arrive or they will regenerate 15% of their mana instantly. Players who intercept them will gain a detonation in our favor, since within that area and for 8 seconds we gain 150% mana regeneration and 50% extra healing to allies.

Once Maut runs out of his mana we will return to phase 1 and so on until we manage to defeat him.

Heroic mode

In this mode, Maut will have a couple of extra skills in each of the phases that will complicate the fight a bit.

Phase 1

Black wings: It will cause a frontal blow to 40 meters doing physical damage and repelled us to several meters.

We will try to be in the form of a fan and we will have to take advantage of the Dps against the Manifestation of darkness so they don't accumulate. If we do not finish with them in time, the tank will not be able to change and Maut will absorb the voidwalker, gaining extra mana and shortening phase 1.

Phase 2

Drain essence: Will score a couple of players.

While this ability is active it will drain mana per second and deal damage. After that, it will detonate in area. The marked players will have to separate a few meters from the band, we will dissipate them, and they will return.

Maut will have much more life than normal, so we will have to make the most of the Dps. It is advisable for tanks to intercept the orbs. Of the rest, we will continue passing between phases 1 and 2 until we defeat Maut.

It is advisable to use Heroism, Blood lust o Temporal distortion as soon as the meeting begins.
