The Silken Court

This is a guide to killing the penultimate boss in the Nerub-ar Palace raid. The guide is relevant for difficulty levels: normal, heroic and mythic.

General Information:

Heroism (BL) should be used from the first seconds of combat.
Bursts and boosting potions should be used as they regenerate.
Bosses go into transitional phases as time goes on. The more damage you deal to the bosses at the beginning of the battle, the faster and easier it will be to defeat them in the third phase.
Combat takes place against two targets, with occasional small mobs appearing.
The health of bosses is interconnected (total), so it is advantageous to deal mass damage (cleaves) on them.
Three main phases with two transitional phases.
In the first phase Anub'arash uses his ultimate ability, in the second phase Skeinspinner Takazj uses his ultimate ability, and in the third phase both bosses use their ultimate abilities.
The abilities of one boss, interrupts the ultimates of the other boss.
Mythic: An additional mechanic with polarity (+/-) appears.

Tactics (briefly):

Skeinspinner Takazj does not move, stands still and shoots at the tank. Sometimes teleports. Anub'arash always tanks nearby.

Phase 1: Designated players approach the web, take the threads and stretch them between them in Anub'arash's path. Interrupting his ultimate ability.

Transition Phase 1

Phase 2: Players with debuff take turns approaching Skeinspinner Takazj. Healers Dispel so that the boss has 3 effects on it when Cataclysm casts. Interrupts his ultimate ability.

Transition Phase 2

Phase 3: Both of the bosses ultimates must be interrupted at the same time. The web itself now throws itself at players. Do not tear the web.

Positioning:

Charge is always centered. Skeinspinner Takazj teleports to a random location. Anub'arash should always be brought to Skeinspinner Takazj.

Useful tips for players

For Tanks:

Always keep bosses together and try to stay ahead of the game.

For Healers:

Watch carefully who you are dispelling. The player must be near the boss.
Actively heal players who take the web. They take significant damage.

For DPS:

Do not use bursts on bugs right away, as they are protected. Apply control effects first. Once the defense is down, you will be able to deal significant damage. After 30 seconds, bugs will become immune to control effects.

Lifehacks:

In the second phase, you can tear the threads since you won't need them anymore. In the third phase, save the threads.
