Hey good ones! How's life going for you? We hope well because today we bring you the official guide to GuíasWoW of Opulence, boss of this new raid recently added in patch 8.1.0, the Battle of Dazar'alor. Without further ado, let's get to it!
Battle of Dazar'alor
The Battle of Dazar'alor is the second band that we will see in this expansion, Battle for Azeroth, where we will be able to continue the history of both factions and the battle that will take place in the main city of the Zandalari. Will the Alliance end the Horde once and for all or ... will it be the Horde who manages to defend the great city of gold from which its newest allies come?
The Alliance assaults the heart of the Zandalari Empire in Battle of Dazar'alor, a new raid that offers unique encounters for Horde and Alliance players, as well as the opportunity to participate in events from the opposing faction's point of view.
Since time immemorial, Dazar'alor has stood at the center of the vast and powerful Zandalari empire. Its guards have thwarted numerous attempts to kill King Rastakhan, and the structure has survived hardships both in recent times and in the past. However, as war nears the shores of Zuldazar, the Alliance embarks on a daring ploy to lay siege to the golden pyramid and break the Zandalari's link with the Horde.
Opulence
As one of the bosses that I have liked the most in this new band. We must bear in mind that Opulence is "only" available to the Alliance. The horde must speak with a specific NPC who will appear in the band to enter a kind of "Flashback" where we will fight as part of the Alliance.
Long ago, King Dazar had his great treasure enchanted to curse anyone but its rightful owner. Many unconscious thieves have fallen into the hands of the many riches they coveted and serve as an important lesson for those who intend to rob the throne.
On this occasion, we will once again have the collaboration of Yuki y zashi. Here is the complete guide to Opulence:
Without further ado, let's start with the boss's guide.

Tips

- Coin sweep Deals heavy damage to the current Opulence tank.
-Healers
- Make sure enough healers get the Amethyst of the King of Shadows so that the band is protected with Touched by Shadows.
- Dissipates Lethargy Hex before the players have to move.
-DPS
- Quickly kill the Golden spirit before Burst of gold overwhelm you.
- Select a Zandalari Crown Jewel that interacts well with your role in the encounter and your class abilities.
- Stack up with other players to split the damage of Coin rain.
Strategy
The beginning of the combat will take place against some guards who guard cameras located to the left and right of the main boss, cameras that will be full of traps. Once defeated, we can face the main boss.
While we face the guardians, they will change rooms every certain percentage of health, having to continuously follow them. We will not be able to change rooms manually as there will be barriers that will prevent us from moving forward. To do this, we must divide the band into two groups. This way we will have no problems defeating the Guardians. Once we finish with them, we must return to the main room to face Opulence directly.
-Phase 1: Loot the chamber
In'zashi's Hand / Bastion of Yalat They will be the two guardians that we will have to face in this first phase. Both will have the same faculties except for one in particular, in addition to all the traps that will be activated as we change rooms. The main powers of these guardians are:
- To crush will cause the guardian to raise one of his arms and hit the ground with great force, dealing band damage and stunning everyone within the impact zone.
- Burning flame makes the rooms where you have already been filled with Climbing flare, dealing damage over time to all players who try to break through. As you can see, it is a journey of no return.
- Volatile charge owns it In'zashi's Hand, adding a debuff to random players doing area damage. Upon expiration, it leaves a ball of energy that deals extra damage in the area where the player left it.
- Flames of Punishment, on the contrary, it owns it Bastion of Yalat. The guardian begins to spin, constantly crushing the ground and dealing damage in a cone frontal to him. I don't think I need to explain anything else.
Traps: In the first four rooms, there will be a single trap active while in the next, there will be up to two at a time.
- Flame spout will be activated in rooms number 2 y 6. The specific trap will eject numerous rays of fire coming from the sides of the room, damaging the players in contact with them.
- Make ruby will appear in rooms number 3, 5 y 6. The room will eject a fire beam that will chase a random player, leaving a pool of fire in its wake (Scorching land). Both the lightning and the puddle do a lot of damage.
- Pulse acceleration toxin will appear in room number 4. This trap will only deal damage over time to the entire raid. If a player reaches 50% of their maximum health, they will receive the debuff Accelerated pulse increasing the caster's secondary stats.
- Lethargy Hex this will appear in room number 5. In this case, it is up to the healers to dispense this debuff to the players who possess it as they deal damage over time and instant damage when moving. The affected players must wait for the debuffs to be removed.
Once defeated in the last room, we can select one of the gems that will empower us for the fight against Opulence. We must choose a gem according to the role we are or the specialization we have:
-Tanks
-Healers
- Amethyst of the King of Shadows Increases Haste and applies 90% Shadow Damage Reduction to healed players. When a player with this buff takes damage, it will trigger Dark knowledge.
- Tailwind Sapphire each heal improves allies' damage.
-DPS
- Focused Animus Ruby Increases the damage dealt to the target, in this case, Opulence.
- Bright sunlight topaz not having close allies empowers you.
- Emerald of Earthen Roots staying still empowers you. Stacks are lost when moving.
- Opal of Unleashed Wrath You get damage for each new enemy hit.
Once we have chosen our jewel, we can access the combat against Opulence.
-Phase 2: Take down the guardian
Opulence will make different Gold abilities to damage his enemies. They are not so difficult so we will see them all below:
- Gathering of power It will boost Opulence if we take too long to defeat the Guardians. So yeah, it's a bit against the clock.
- Liquid gold will cast it from time to time, adding a damaging debuff over time to random players. When it expires, it will leave a puddle on the floor of Molten gold, which will remain until the end of the fight and will damage the players who step on it.
- Every so often, Opulence will summon some Golden spirit that we must defeat with alacrity. These will appear under the boss and will head to the various edges of the combat area. When they reach their goal, they will channel Channel gold and subsequently, Burst of gold, throwing stones of gold on different areas of the room and damaging all the players hit.
- Wail of greed It will be an ability that channels the boss, dealing increasing damage every two seconds to all players. When he finishes channeling her, he gains a stack of Greed.
Heroic
- When you finish eliminating the Guardians, all players who have taken the jewel will receive Thief's scourge, instantly killing the caster. To do this, two healers must choose the Amethyst of the King of Shadows and add damage reduction on all players.
-Guardians
- When Guardians have low health percentage, they gain Overload, empowering its main abilities and also inflicting periodic damage to random players.
- Volatile charge travels a wider area.
- Flames of Punishment travels a wider area.
-Opulence
- Coin rain Summons a large pile of coins that fall on a random player, inflicting a huge amount of damage that must be distributed among other players. Just being within the area will suffice.
- Coin sweep will deal a massive amount of damage to the target tank. Tanks must be switched to the boss each time this ability is cast on them as they should activate their jewel. Therefore, while it is cooling, it is best to change it.
