The final wing of Siege of Orgrimmar is now open in LFR difficulty, where you’ll take on Siegecrafter Blackfuse, the Paragons of the Klaxxi and Garrosh Hellscream. Already we’ve seen multiple nerfs to the wing, and in particular to the Garrosh encounter. I would not be surprised if further changes are made, so be prepared for possible changes to the outlines here in this guide.

As always, the guide below is not fully comprehensive of every ability: that’s what your dungeon journal is for. What you will find below is the minimum you need to know to complete the fight successfully.

With the conclusion of the raid tier comes the conclusion to this series. You can find the guides to parts one, two and three here.

SIEGECRAFTER BLACKFUSE

General advice: The key mechanic in the Blackfuse fight is the conveyor belts. You must have people assigned to ride the conveyor belt by jumping in the pipe, so that they can destroy some of Blackfuse’s toys. Specifically, you’ll want to destroy Crawler Mines > Electromagnet. The rest are of little concern.
Tanks: Taunt swap the boss on three stacks. OT must then go and pick up the shredder, and keep him ~40yds away from the boss at all time. If you are struggling to kill the shredder before the next one, DPS will need to help, though they do much less damage to it than you will.
Healers: You’ll mainly be making up for other people’s mistakes here. Tank damage can get spiky during frenzy.
DPS: Follow the general advice above. If Crawler Mines manage to make it out, focus them down quickly. However, the fight is won/lost in the conveyor belt. Execute that correctly and the fight will go much smoother.

PARAGONS OF THE KLAXXI

General advice: Paragons heal to full as each is killed. Single target them down in this order: Rik’kal, Skeer, Hisek, Korven, Xaril, Kaz’tik, Iyyokuk, Ka’roz, Kil’ruk. Some groups will do it slightly differently, it doesn’t matter too much. Spread out the fire lines. Stand in the aim line. Don’t stand in yellow stuff on the ground.
Tanks: If you tank Rik’kal, don’t tank Skeer. If you tank Xaril do not tank Kil’ruk. Keep your active mitigation up as much as possible. Taunt off the Korven tank when he gets shield bashed.
Healers: There will be lots to heal, but look out for tank spikes in particular.
DPS: For the love of god, don’t waste DPS on the wrong Paragon target. Be ready to switch to amber, bloods and kunchongs (when their shield is down).

GARROSH HELLSCREAM

General advice: Have the raid ready to split up during the intermission phases into roughly half. There are multiple ways to deal with the Iron Stars, but killing both engineers is the simplest. Don’t stand in Desecrate, group up for mind controls (and interrupt!) and get to max range for the whirlwind. Separate the little Sha adds before you kill them.
Tanks: Pick up adds in the first phase. Swap at 3 or 4 stacks in second phase. You can tank the little adds in second phase, but be prepared to use a cooldown if they start to get big and angry.
Healers: Nothing additional healing wise other than be prepared to do a lot of healing.
DPS: Kill engineers if assigned to do so. Interrupt and kill the shaman add in phase 1. Make sure to spread the little Sha adds in phase 2 and 3 and single target them down. Switch to the desecrated weapons as they come out.

Good luck and have fun!
