Archimonde Strategy

1. Each raid member must aquire Tears of the Goddess from Tyrande Whisperwind, this will be used when falling from Air Burst.
2. The raid needs to spread out to avoid AoE damage, keep at least 15 yards away from Doomfires, staying within range of a curse remover and healer.
3. Doomfire needs to be avoided at all costs, it is very mana intensive to heal raid members through it.
4. Fear can put raid members into Doomfire, it is very important for the tanks to have fear dispelled or stance dance through it.
5. When Archimonde reaches 10% phase 2 will begin, sit back and watch!
