In the second half of the 16th century, Spain was ruled by one of the most famous kings - Philip I. Partly because the country had reached a certain stage in its development by this time, partly because of the peculiarities of the character of this strange monarch, the power of the Inquisition at this time increased to such the degree that the whole country was under her rule.
Philip was at that time the most powerful sovereign in the world, but such a burden turned out to be unbearable for him, and if he failed, it was not from a lack of zeal or loyalty to his goals, but from a lack of imagination and a lack of a natural gift necessary for a great ruler.
There was no monarch in the world with a keener sense of duty; it was not his fault that he thought slowly and in his calculations he often could not take into account all the moves of his opponents. His father taught him to reign; Philip tried to follow his father's methods, although his father, Emperor Charles, could not help but understand that new times require new methods. Philip, the owner of half the world, a suspicious, malevolent, secretive fanatic, was not strong enough to play the role of the most powerful monarch in the world.
He wanted to plant the Catholic faith in all the countries under his control, and no country has suffered more from his claims than the Netherlands.
The people of this long-suffering country, who had the misfortune of being under Spanish rule, expressed a clear desire to profess Protestantism; however, even in Spain itself (where the religion never had roots) Protestants were not persecuted as violently as in the Netherlands.
Emperor Charles himself, who was born in Flanders, was closer to the Flemings than to the Spaniards, but he was responsible for imposing Catholicism on a people who strongly resisted it. It is strange that Emperor Charles still gave Luther the opportunity to avoid persecution, although he was at the mercy of the emperor. True, Luther was guaranteed freedom of movement, but this was not yet a guarantee of security, and the rulers could, if they wanted, find a way to break their own promises. Yet Luther was given the opportunity to lay out his creed and leave.
Thirty years later, at the time of his abdication, Charles was very sorry that he had not sent Luther to the stake, considering it his serious mistake. However, the emperor did not miss the opportunity to correct his mistake later. He used his power to actively fight With Lutheranism in the Netherlands.
A decree was issued banning the publication of Protestant books in the Netherlands, and severe penalties for disobedience were imposed. In 1522 Charles appointed Francis van der Gulst of Brabant as Grand Inquisitor of the Netherlands. The latter, like many of his predecessors, was so cruel that he himself was saved from revenge only by a timely flight. After his reign, the country should have been given a breather, but Charles was determined to eradicate Lutheranism in the Netherlands. He constantly demanded the death penalty for all heretics, wishing to eradicate heresy "with fire and sword." These orders were carried out by his subordinates.
Few were even interested in the nationality of the victim, if only the person was a Protestant. One of these victims was the Englishman William Tyndale, whose whole crime was that he translated the New Testament into his native language. Exiled by Henry VIII, this man lived and worked in Antwerp as a beggar. He longed to return to England, but Henry refused him this. In 1535 Tyndale lived with the English merchant Points, who was interested in Lutheranism. Unfortunately, Tyndale was handed over to the authorities as a dangerous heretic, after which he was arrested and sent to a fortress near Brussels, where he was held for fourteen months.
This prisoner had friends in England, and he worked for him and the Point. He himself went to England to ask for Tyndale; however, instead, the poor man was arrested there on charges of heresy. True, the Points were more fortunate than Tyndale: he managed to escape.
Tyndale remained in prison, ready to accept martyrdom. He was known among the exiles as a very virtuous man. It was said that he provided, albeit modest, material assistance to other exiles, and also supported people in need. This became possible thanks to the support of his associates, the Antwerp merchants who stood for the Protestant faith, who collected funds and paid an allowance to the Englishman himself; they say he spent the money he received on the needs of other people.
On October 6, 1536, this man was led to the fire. They say that he calmly awaited his fate and said before his execution: "Lord, open the eyes of the English king!" Rule, in The History of the Inquisition, writes that Tyndale was burned alive, but other historians claim that he was strangled before being burned. Rule, like an ardent Protestant, was inclined to paint Catholics with only dark colors. In 1522 the Augustinian brothers in Antwerp proclaimed themselves Protestants. Several of them were burned, and one was drowned in the river. These dire judgments did not shake the resolve of the noble Dutchmen. Having accepted the ideas of Protestantism, they were not going to abandon them. When Philip II took over from his father, the terror intensified. Now men began to be burned, and women were buried alive. Some priests were also burned because they accepted the new faith and got married. There is also talked of one case in which a family of six was burned, who converted to the Protestant faith.
All these horrors, it seems, only added determination to the Dutch, instead of intimidating them. Maybe Protestantism was a religion suitable for their national character, or maybe they just got used to independence in their views and got used to decide their own affairs. These people were not inclined to humbly accept any teaching just because their rulers considered it necessary.
In those years when the Spanish Inquisition unleashed fierce persecutions on this freedom-loving people, the land of Flanders was abundantly watered with the blood of martyrs. Already by the time of Charles' abdication, the number of victims, according to various estimates, ranged from 50,000 to 100,000. Charles himself wrote that he wanted to introduce the Spanish Inquisition in the Netherlands in order to prevent the spread of heresy from Germany, France, England. He came to the conclusion that all heretics are subject to the death penalty and their property should be confiscated. Karl admitted that such harshness could arouse the anger of the people, but insisted that he was forced to do all this out of necessity.
When the emperor decided to retire from the world to a monastery, he handed the reins of government to his son Philip. Major suffering for the people of the Netherlands lay ahead.
The introduction of the Inquisition in the Netherlands caused an active rejection of the people. How different these people were from the people of Aragon, who, after the assassination of Inquisitor Arbues, instead of supporting those who called for an uprising, demanded their blood! (For the Aragonese, Catholicism was a domestic faith associated with their country; for the Dutch, it was a faith imposed by the invaders. - Per.)
The people of the Netherlands were determined to honor God as they saw fit. Riots broke out in the country. In August 1566, three hundred men with clubs and axes broke into churches in the vicinity of Saint-Omer and began to destroy icons revered by Catholics. Then, the same pogroms took place in Ypres, Menin, Valenciennes and other cities and, finally, in Antwerp. Rumors of this quickly spread throughout the country. Riots broke out in major cities such as Rotterdam and Haarlem, while the soldiers, called by the authorities, refused to use force against the rioters.
These crowds, consisting of uneducated people, burst into churches, mimicked Catholic priests with obscene gestures, and burned icons and valuable books. It is said that the damage done to Antwerp Cathedral alone was estimated at four hundred thousand ducats.
When word of the mutiny reached Brussels, Regent Margaret of Parma, the illegitimate daughter of Emperor Charles and Philip's cousin, announced that the country should be protected from rebels who wanted to destroy religion.
Many nobles in the Netherlands were unhappy with the regency of Margaret of Parma, as they saw it as a threat to religious freedom. The most prominent representatives of the noble opposition were Egmont, Horn and William of Orange. The latter was destined to become one of the great historical figures.
He was born on April 25, 1533 in Dillenburg, Nassau, to a Lutheran family who tried to give him an appropriate upbringing. This, however, did not please Emperor Charles, and when the boy was twelve years old, Charles took William from his parents to be raised in the Catholic spirit by Mary, the emperor's sister.
Wilhelm was a remarkably intelligent boy. The emperor became attached to him and from the age of fifteen took him as one of the court pages. Karl fell in love with Wilhelm and more than once gave him delicate assignments. During the ceremony of abdication, the emperor leaned on the shoulder of his pupil. Karl also asked his son Philip to find an application for the talent of the young courtier and not leave his services without rewards.
Obviously, Karl regretted that Wilhelm was not his own son. If the emperor could look into the near future, he would change his mind, since William of Orange became the very man who liberated his long-suffering country from Spanish tyranny. Wilhelm, in turn, treated Karl with respect. The Flemings at that time respected their emperor, because, although he was harsh, he still remained one of them. They only openly resisted when Philip, a Spaniard in essence and spirit, took his place.
When Orange was eighteen years old, he married Anna Egmont, who died a few years after that. Then he married Anna of Saxony, a convinced Lutheran, which clearly displeased Philip, who by that time had taken his father's place. This marriage was upset thirteen years later when Anna returned to Germany. The fact that Wilhelm could not find satisfaction in marriage, perhaps, explains his penchant for love affairs.
Despite his love for society and secular manners, Wilhelm was not a man of an easy disposition and had the nickname Silent, since he spoke little, but at the same time knew how to be eloquent when necessary. Courage and excellent manners ensured this man popularity, and the absence of talkativeness was very useful quality for a politician. William of Orange was largely talented as a great leader, which he became. In addition, he possessed another excellent quality - he was a principled opponent of religious persecution and sincerely believed in the right of people to freedom of belief.
It was said about this man that he was Catholic with Catholics, and Lutheran with Lutherans.
Perhaps the great struggle against Spanish oppression made him a Protestant; however, the main thing for which William of Orange fought was the freedom of his people. If he were a fanatic, he could hardly have become such an outstanding leader. Philip's failures were largely due to his fanaticism. It is interesting to compare his failures, as well as the failures of his wife Mary I of England, also a fanatic, with the successes of Elizabeth I of England, who silently could call "a plague on both your houses", but publicly pretended that she treats everyone well.
After learning about what is happening in the Netherlands, Philip is said to have declared: "By the soul of my father, it will cost them dearly!" He kept his word.
William of Orange knew that it was time to either fight or flee. He was not yet ready for the first and, as an intelligent person, chose to leave the Netherlands. The mutiny was suppressed by the Duchess Margaret, who was able to temporarily restore peace in the country. But she was not inclined to pardon those who rebelled against Catholicism, and decided to severely punish the criminals. She sent troops to the Netherlands so that, upon noticing the gatherings of the Protestants, the soldiers would crush them with horses, shoot at them, or capture and execute them. In many cases, there was not even an investigation. Anyone suspected of sympathizing with Protestantism was simply hanged.
Meanwhile, King Philip decided to send an army to the Netherlands, led by the Duke of Alba.
This was the beginning of bloody events.
This victorious general was known for his brutality even before arriving in the Netherlands. Arriving there, he placed garrisons in all major cities. The military received the broadest powers, and it is unnecessary to explain what kind of arbitrariness and violence the population was subjected to. Modern authors note that the oppression of the Spaniards was unbearable and that every person whose property attracted the invaders was immediately accused of heresy in order to confiscate his property. People lived in fear, and many left the country, taking with them everything that could be taken away. William of Orange had already left the country by this time, and Egmont and Horn were arrested. Cardinal Granvelle, who was well aware of the situation in the Netherlands, upon learning of the arrest of Egmont and Horn, asked: "Has the Silent One fallen into the trap?" After receiving a negative answer, the cardinal said: "If they did not capture Orange, then they did not capture anyone."
Alba's first action was to set up a tribunal with extraordinary powers to investigate the recent riots. It was called the Commander-in-Chief's Council (Riot Council). It consisted of twelve judges, the most famous of whom was Juan de Vargas, known for particular cruelty. The people of the Netherlands have nicknamed this trial "The Bloody Council".
The terror began. The already known measures were applied here. Spouses were threatened to testify against each other, and children were forced to testify against their parents. In case of refusal to testify, the persons under investigation were tortured. The suspects who were hiding were put on the wanted list, and the heralds in the cities shouted the names of the wanted, informing that anyone who knew about their whereabouts and did not report to the authorities would himself be suspected of heresy. One day in 1568, on a "sinister Wednesday", in Brussels, 500 people were arrested at night, taken to prison and sentenced to death.
In those days, suspects of heresy and participation in rebellion were everywhere. If the victim turned out to be a poor man, such a person was immediately hanged. Death sentences (to the gallows, beheading, or burning at the stake) became commonplace then. The type of execution depended on the judges, who were often ignorant and cruel military. The staunch Protestants were subjected to the most brutal execution - burning.
The Duke of Alba and his assistant Vargas seem to enjoy their own brutality. They say that Vargas, waking up in the morning, shouted: “Hang up! Hang!" Alba says in a letter to King Philip: “I am going to arrest the richest and most dangerous rebels. I constantly have to sort out each of their cases, because they bother me with petitions and petitions on each case. They completely tortured me with their harassment. " These words expressed both the cynicism of the Duke of Alba towards the people to whom he caused so much suffering, and his rapture with his own power.
And again we have an example of the dire consequences to which fanaticism leads. The Dutch cities were now devastated, and the country lost its former prosperity, created by its active merchants. Thousands of people fled to Germany, which willingly accepted the fugitives.
The ruler, Duchess Margaret, abdicated. Of course, she believed that all rebels should be punished, but she considered such a war with the people as a whole both cruel and stupid. She lived in Parma until her son Farnese became regent, whom she began to help. There is evidence that King Philip, knowing about the criticism of this policy in many countries, decided to justify Alba's actions in the Netherlands and refer the case to the Madrid Inquisition. The Tribunal ruled that everyone guilty of heresy or apostasy, as well as those who call themselves good Catholics, but nothing. made to punish heretics - are equally guilty of treason to the church and the state. The punishments for such crimes were well known, and since almost all Dutch citizens were guilty of such acts, all of them should have been sentenced to death with confiscation of property. This was to serve as an example for the future: mercy from the Spaniards would not have to wait.
The historian Prescott doubts the complete veracity of this story, but it has been retold more than once by authors whom he has no reason not to trust. He believes that "it is impossible to unreasonably attribute any cruelty to the Inquisition, but it is difficult to believe that such an intelligent ruler like Philip II, even if he wanted to see his support in the Holy Chamber, could commit such ridiculous and politically incorrect actions" ("The story of Philip II ").
When Emperor Maximilian protested to Philip against the repression in the Netherlands, the king replied: “I did all this for the sake of pacifying the provinces and protecting the Catholic faith. I would have done the same, even if it caused a general rebellion in the Netherlands and even if the whole world lay in ruins "(" Correspondence of Philip II ").
It was for this fanaticism that Philip paid the price of the crisis of his empire. At this very time, exiles from the Netherlands gathered around the man whom they considered the savior of the country. Wilhelm the Silent in Dillenburg made plans for the war.
At first there were two unsuccessful expeditions, led by Gostiraten and Villers, but then, under Geiligerle, Ludwig of Nassau, brother of William of Orange, defeated the army of Alba. The people of the Netherlands perked up, but the fury of the Duke of Alba knew no bounds. Horn and Egmont were executed, Wilhelm and his brother Ludwig were sentenced to life in exile, and their estates were confiscated.
Of course, it was impossible to exterminate the entire nation, and these executions, it seems, did not intimidate the Dutch. Three years later, upon arrival in the Netherlands, Alba had to proclaim an amnesty to all Flemings, who would henceforth become loyal subjects of Philip II.
Hume, in his book "Spain - Greatness and Decline", expresses the opinion that the main reason for the uprising of the Dutch against the Spanish yoke was not religion, but their love of money. Philip introduced there a ten percent tax on all transactions (the so-called "alcabala"). This did not please the merchants, who created the wealth of Flanders, and they did not want to endure such damage to the economy.
Philip II often borrowed money from Flemish bankers; now they declared that they had become bankrupt because of the conditions in which trade was placed, and could no longer lend money to the king. Then Philip began to doubt whether the Duke of Alba was true. conducts business in the Netherlands. His actions provoked protests in different countries, and most importantly, Alba had enemies in Madrid itself. The main one, Antonio Perez, later played a role in one of the dramatic episodes associated with the Inquisition.
In 1573, the Duke of Alba, whose mission to conquer the Netherlands ended in disgraceful failure, was recalled from that country. They say that this shame "almost broke his heart", but it is nothing compared to the suffering he brought to thousands of people. His place was taken by Don Luis de Requiesens, who was ordered to pursue a more flexible policy.
Protestants were persecuted in the Netherlands with particular cruelty and scale, since in this case the Inquisition had to fight against an entire people. In Spain, Protestantism, apart from two outbreaks in Seville and Valladolid, was a rare occurrence.
It is not known how many people were directly affected by Alba. Of course, it was impossible to destroy a people of three million, but they say that Alba boasted that during his reign, 18,600 people died and about 60,000 left the country, fleeing the bloodthirstiness of his minions.

The Duke of Alba established a regime of the most severe terror. A "riot council" was established, nicknamed the "bloody council." Mass arrests began on charges of rebellion, iconoclasm, and the signing of a "compromise." Soon, the bloody council began to pass the death sentences in the hundreds. Many noblemen laid their heads on the chopping block. In the spring of 1568, Egmont and Horn were executed. The first, despite his loyalty and devotion to the monarchy, could seem very dangerous as the military leader of a possible uprising. The well-to-do bourgeoisie also suffered greatly. Those who could be saved, despite the strictest prohibitions, emigrated abroad, mainly to England.
According to some reports, in just six years, 6-8 thousand people were executed by the "bloody council", but the purpose of the terror was not only reprisals against the rebels, "heretics", but also an increase in royal income, since the executions were accompanied by the confiscation of property in favor of the king. Alba boasted that with this financial operation he delivered 500 thousand gold income to the king.
It seemed that the terrorist regime of the Duke of Alba did not provoke serious resistance. The Spanish garrisons kept the country in check. But every day the number of people of all classes, unsettled, ruined, unemployed, fleeing executions and executions, extremely embittered, desperate, increased. The population went to the wilderness, to the forests. Here detachments of "forest brothers", "forest guezes" were created, which attacked churches and monasteries. But they could not provide a serious rebuff to the troops of Alba. The population of the coastal provinces, starving from unemployment, sailors and fishermen of Friesland, Zealand and Holland went to sea, threw themselves into privateering. Their commanders were often Calvinist nobles who had left the executioners of the “bloody council”. These "sea gueuze" attacked both their own and other people's ships. Sea relations with Spain became difficult.
The emigration also organized their forces to fight Alba. The soul of the whole affair was William of Orange and his brother Louis. Wilhelm tried to win over the German princes to his side, and negotiated with the French Huguenots. With the money raised, a rather motley army was hired, with which William invaded the country in 1568, hoping to raise an uprising. But he did not find support in the terrorized population. Alba inflicted several defeats on Wilhelm, there was not enough money to continue the campaign, and Wilhelm's army disintegrated.
After repelling the attack of William of Orange, the Duke of Alba felt very strong. “The inhabitants are very happy,” he wrote to the king, “and there is no nation in the world that would be easier to govern than this, if you only know how to govern it.”
Already at the beginning of 1568, he began to fulfill the task for which he was sent to the Netherlands - to Spanishize the country, to turn it into a Spanish province. Alba seeks to destroy her political and social order to the core. “It is necessary to create,” he wrote to the king, “absolutely new world, and God forbid, to cope with this, since it is not easy to destroy the customs that are rooted in such a freedom-loving people as the Dutch have always been. I will work hard on this. ”
The Council of State was dismissed. The Duke of Alba consulted only with some of his close Spaniards and proposed to appoint a new council from the Spaniards. Finally, new bishoprics were established, the question of which had caused so much displeasure for so long. But the main thing was to fundamentally change the financial system in the Netherlands, which would make it possible to pump as much out of the country as possible with the least effort. “You can extract,” Alba wrote to the king, “whatever you want from this country, to which until now you have had to make endless concessions for every florin given to you, and make them in such a way that I am your mere squire. for which I would not tolerate it. " But this onslaught of the feudal monarchy on bourgeois wealth failed. It was these attempts by the Duke of Alba to introduce a new taxation system that met with a decisive rebuff and were the immediate cause of the uprising.

Composition of the group:
Tanks: three tanks - two miles (for Taldram and Valanar) and one renzhed (for Keleset).
Valanar will be the first prince available for attack.
Princes have one health for all. But everything is not so simple, you can only attack the one who is currently under the Blood Curse. The spell moves between the princes by itself, you cannot control it.
In this encounter, you need to move, due to the specific abilities of the bosses, there will be no dull drain. In general, the Ranged should be scattered to minimize damage from Sorcerous Flame (Taldaram) and Vortexes (Valanar). Taldaram should be tanked facing away from the raid as it has a frontal AoE. Valanar, in turn, must be kept somewhat away from the rest, because of his mechanics, which knock players back.
Blood spell
- Blood spell: The Blood Prince is infused with the power of the Dark Orb, gaining more deadly abilities.
At the beginning of the video, you can see a shield hanging on the central prince (Valanar). The rest of the princes, in turn, have 1 (one) health unit. The prince with the shield can be hit, but the rest cannot. The blood spell moves between bosses during the fight, and dps must follow it.
The Conjured Prince is acquiring some additional abilities, so keep your ears open here.
A boss that deals a lot of shadow damage. Requires a ranged tank for his tank, preferably a warlock.
- Shadow resonance: Summon a dark core. The nuclei feed on their own internal energy and explode after a while.
- Shadow resonance: Immediate target resonates with shadows, gaining 1000 damage. damage. Shadow damage taken by her is reduced by 35% until canceled.
In the movie, you can see flying blue objects that gather around the ranged tank and send beams into it. This is the mechanism that gives the shadow resist stacking and allows the tank to survive the boss's attacks. It is unclear exactly how the tank is supposed to collect the dark cores - maybe, aggro them, or they will arrive on their own. I think it will become clear after your first try. But do not forget that a tank will need to collect at least three cores in order to survive. - Shadow spear: Shoots a magical arrow at an enemy, inflicting 19013 - 19987 Arcane damage. Shadow damage.
A regular shadow bolt. - Spear of Ominous Shadows: Throws a magical spear at an enemy, inflicting 85313 to 89687 Arcane damage. Shadow damage.
The attack that the boss acquires at the moment when the Blood Curse switches to him. Will inevitably kill your tank if it does not have three stacks of shadow resist from dark cores. - Dungeon of Darkness: Shackles the enemy. If the chained enemy moves, they receive 350 damage. initial Shadow damage increased by 500. for every second of movement. If the target does not move for 10 seconds, the effect is dispelled.
An ability that only occurs in the list of boss abilities obtained from datamining. Possibly a hard fashion element.
A boss that deals a lot of fire damage. Any mile tank will do for him.
- Dazzling sparks: Blinding sparks are emitted from the caster's fingers, inflicting 14820 Arcane damage. Fire Damage over 8 Seconds all enemies in a cone of destruction and reducing their movement speed by 20%.
Frontal AoE. Keep the boss facing away from the raid. - Witch's flame: The fireball flies towards the target area and explodes upon landing.
The boss casts orange balls that fly to a random player in the ranged and explode there (AoE within 15 yards). The longer the ball flies, the smaller it becomes and the weaker it hits as a result (but not less than 10k). The person who sees that the ball is flying into it must kite the ball to the wall and explode as far as possible from all other players.
The flame cast is not instant, it takes 3 seconds. If you are a ranged or a healer, you must keep an eye on him to be ready to immediately start running. The same goes for the next ability. - Hot sorcerous flame: A ball of arcane flame flies towards the target area and explodes upon landing.
The same ability, but under the Blood Curse. The mechanism is the same, but the orange ball is BIG (like this). In flight, the balloon scatters Scorching Flares - the more people receive damage from the flashes, the less the explosion will be upon landing. - Scorching flash: Accumulated Effervescent Energy is released, inflicting 1000 damage. fire damage to a random nearby enemy.
Boss with strong melee attacks. For his tanking, a warrior or druid is well suited, which can quickly intercept the boss after being thrown back.
- Kinetic bomb: Explodes on contact with the ground, inflicting 13,500 to 16,500 Shadow damage. physical damage to enemies in a large area and knocking them back.
A light ball flying in the air and gradually decreasing. If he touches the ground, then the entire raid will receive serious damage and will be scattered along the walls (as in the battle with Ice Roar in IR). To prevent the bomb from dropping, it must receive damage. It is best to dispatch a special person (hunter) to focus on the bomb and prevent it from falling.
After (unconfirmed) 72 seconds after spawning, the kinetic bomb disappears and the boss casts a new one. - Mighty whirlwind: Deal 7000 damage. damage to all enemies within 12 yards and knocks them back.
This ability is active when the boss is in "normal" mode and cannot be hit. Whirlwind is cast on a random player in the raid. A distinctive rotating mark appears on the ground below it, indicating the center of the 12-yard circle that cannot be entered. If the vortex surrenders in miles, the whole company with the tank needs to retreat. The vortex lasts for 30 seconds, after which it disappears. - Shaking vortex: Creates a vortex of force near all nearby enemies, inflicting 7000 Arcane damage. physical damage and knocking back enemies near the target.
Can only be casted under the Blood Curse. 4.5 second cast, after which everyone within 30 yards of the boss will explode for 7k damage and scatter those who are standing nearby. With the start of the boss's cast, all miles must turn around and try to escape. Ranged and heal must keep track of the cast and keep their distance.
Raid position before attack
Tactics .. it is essentially not there. We switch to the boss, which is currently available for attack, and do not forget to look around. At first glance, everything looks complicated, everything around flies and explodes, but the battle boils down to a few simple things:
- Do not stand in vortexes
- Run away if an orange ball flies at you
- Don't be cast by Shock Vortex
- Prevent the white ball from sinking to the ground
- Don't hit the target with 1 hp
During the attack
The battle in Crimson Hall is expected to be chaotic, but not very difficult. To better understand the mechanics of combat, just go through the list of abilities again and watch the video again.
Player DPS targets will change frequently, prepare them!

Here it is - the first (and hopefully not the last) tactic on our website.
Let me remind you that on January 20, the next wing of the Icecrown Citadel becomes available - the Crimson Hall. About the first boss in this wing - the Council of Bloody Princes - we will talk with you in this article.
I would also like to note that if your guild has not yet killed Professor Putricide, it doesn’t matter. The Crimson Hall and the Plague Mansion are independent raid dungeon wings, so you can get there immediately after defeating Saurfang.
So, welcome to cat.

Knowing the abilities (it is often important to simply separate for yourself those that are critical and falling under their influence is highly undesirable, and those that can be easily healed), you can independently think over a battle strategy or even invent your own tactics.

Common features and description of the battle
The fight with the Bloody Consuls does not contain phases and consists entirely of a set of alternating abilities of each of the princes. Let's consider the general course of the battle.We will need two regular tanks and one ranged fighter (ideally a warlock).
Blood spell one of the princes gets randomly and only this prince can be attacked. The other two have 1 hp each and cannot be killed. Blood spell is outweighed by different princes, and the group of damage dealers must accordingly switch from target to target. Prince Valanar always gets the buff first.
A Warlock with the Void Defense talent taken is the perfect tank for Prince Keleseth. When Keleseth summons a Dark Core next to him, the warlock should get aggro on both and stand 15 yards near the Dark Core to receive a buff that reduces Shadow damage taken. It will help him get through. Spear of Ominous Shadows when will the prince pass Blood spell... It is worth noting that if the tank does not have at least 2 stacks of protective aura, it will die. 3 stacks make him completely immune to dark magic. Therefore, the tank of Keleseth is faced with the task of constantly maintaining the effect of the Shadow Resonance on itself, so that at the moment when the boss gets stronger, it can take on the deadly spears without any problems.
Prince Valanar uses Kinetic bombs , which can and should be beaten, thereby forcing them to rise higher into the air and preventing an explosion. In addition, the prince throws at random players in the raid Shaking vortex , knocking back the victim and the players standing next to him 50 meters in a straight line (almost like Yetty in the Trial of the Crusader). When it is Valanar's turn to receive a charge Blood spell, he begins to throw into the air everyone who is 30 meters away from him. Melee fighters must move away from the prince.
Prince Taldaram is hurled Dazzling sparks in front of him and launches at a random player in the raid Witch's flame , which deals less damage the longer it flies after the player. Blood spell gives this spell new strength -
