Introduction

This is an advanced guide which assumes a strong underlying knowledge of all mechanics, and will go over how to quickly kill Zemouregal & Vorkath with melee only.

​

This is a strong option that can achieve 30+ kph without hybridding, and can comfortably achieve the Grandmaster timer while style camping.

​

Preset and Relics

⬥ Method 1 melee

⬥ Method 2 melee Guide illustration

​

Method 1

⬥ Apply powderofprotection at bank for amhej

⬥ Utilize darkness for reduced damage from vorkath and minions, hellhoundpouch is a viable alternative familiar if struggling.

⬥ dragonscimitar or annihilation eof can be taken.

​

War's Retreat

dba spec → sezk spec → enter portal

Fort Forinthry

escape while Fort textures loading → claim loot and rejoin instance → surge + click door → surge again when 0:00 visible on boss timer

Vorkath

dive to Zemouregal → (tc) + meteorstrike → target vorkath + sadaptivestrike → berserk + vulnbomb + equip lengmh lengoh

​

gbarge → overpower → gflurry + 1t undeadslayer → assault → rend → overpower → gfury → assault → anti → overpower + dive away from spikes → rend → gflurry → adaptivestrike → overpower / assault → adaptivestrike

Zemouregal

Two rotation options are provided using either dba + dragonscimitar or annihilation eof

​

Using dba + dragonscimitar

dba spec → divert + adrenrenewal → adaptivestrike → dragonscimitar spec → smokecloud on Zemouregal → stall w/basics until less than 10 sec left on meteorstrike cooldown → lengmh spec on vorkath to phase below 765k + equip amhej

​

meteorstrike once available → target Zemouregal + sadaptivestrike → berserk + vulnbomb + equip ezk → gbarge → soverpower → roverpower + assault → chaosroar → ezk + ballista → rend → overpower → cane → assault → gfury / punish → overpower / varanussmercy spec

​

Using annihilation eof

smokecloud on Zemouregal → stall w/basics until less than 10 sec left on meteorstrike cooldown → lengmh spec on vorkath to phase below 765k

​

target Zemouregal + annihilation eofspec → adaptivestrike → meteorstrike + 2t → berserk → gbarge → assault → overpower → chaosroar → ezk spec → varanussmercy eofspec → varanussmercy eofspec + adrenrenewal → rend → overpower → varanussmercy eofspec → cane → punish

​

Notes:

⬥ Loading into Fort Forinthry is very intensive. Reducing draw distance and turning off textures can reduce load times.

⬥ anti is required since this rotation does not skip Zemouregal's soulstrike

⬥ Hit chance on Zemouregal is very tight under dba. If brewed down at all or without maximum accuracy, dragonscimitar is necessary to maintain 100% hitchance.

⬥ It is extremely important to control damage to not overphase Vorkath below 765k into flight phase while there is significant >13 sec meteorstrike cooldown remaining. If this happens, the chance of a successful kill is low.

⬥ Activate ballista 2-3 ticks into the first assault. Do not activate a 2nd ballista until after Vorkath departs for flight.

​

Method 2

⬥ This rotation uses Equilibrium 4 eq4

⬥ Being on task is not required.

⬥ You need to flick soulsplit to maintain LP with scriptureofful

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• May use vampscrim and hellhoundpouch instead.
