Trash and route risks

What to stop between bosses.

  • Kick Mystic Blast-style casts and purge shields.
  • Use hard stops on large lashers and dangerous instructors.
  • Enemy-forces values can change with hotfixes; import a current MDT route before starting the key.
  • Call every major stop and defensive in voice rather than assuming it is available.

Quests and unlocks

Do not leave rewards behind.

  • Complete the dungeon on Mythic 0 or obtain the matching keystone through the current Season 1 system.
  • Seasonal portals are earned by timing the dungeon at the required keystone level.

Final checklist

Before the group enters.

✓ Route reviewed
✓ Interrupts assigned
✓ Dispels confirmed
✓ Boss timers enabled
✓ Consumables ready
✓ Discord voice joined

These guides are planning baselines. Live hotfixes, seasonal affixes, difficulty modifiers, and private-server scripts can alter exact damage, timing, or enemy count. Verify the current in-game journal and your group’s route before the pull.
