Season 1 Prideful Tips and Tricks

The Prideful lines always fire along the cardinal directions North, East, South, and West allowing you to position diagonally and never have to move.

If the entire party uses an Invisibility potion as the Manifestation of Pride is spawning, you can avoid killing it!

De Other Side Tips and Tricks

The Night Fae Dungeon Bonus Haunted Urn applies to stun immune targets such as Death Speaker and Enraged Spirit

Ranged players can opt not to jump down to Dealer Xy'exa, preventing the need to hop into a portal during Explosive Contrivance.

Players with the Engineering profession can disable the slimes in the Mechagon portion of the instance for one minute.

Halls of Atonement Tips and Tricks

The Shard of Halkias's Thrash ability has a range of 40 yards. Ranged are able to outrange the damage, but still able to attack the Shard of Halkias at max range.

The Stoneborn Slasher's Powerful Swipe can be outranged by walking away from the mob when it starts to cast.

Mists of Tirna Scithe Tips and Tricks

You can Dominate Mind a Drust Soulcleaver at the start of the dungeon and it will apply the Soul Split debuff, which can be useful on the first boss! (Details)

You can skip the first Drust Boughbreaker pack in the path by CC'ing the mob closest to the wall and walking past it, as shown in this clip. As you can see, the mage uses Polymorph on the mob, then takes sole aggro of it by walking on top, allowing the group to walk past. He then uses Invisibility to drop combat, allowing the group to sneak by. This can be done with a number of crowd controls and aggro drops.

You can outrange the Furious Thrashing cast done by the Drust Boughbreakers by walking 45 yards away from them.

Furious Thrashing is cast at 50% health on the Drust Boughbreaker. Make sure you focus one so they don't push at the same time.

You can pull an extra pack at the start of the maze by having a pet attack the mobs in the right room or by having a Balance Druid slow fall down the ramp and tag the mobs. More Details.

The Mistveil Gorgegullet's Tongue Lashing can be outranged by walking away from the mob when it starts to cast.

Necrotic Wake Tips and Tricks

The Skeletal Marauder's Boneshatter Shield self-damage is double scaling with key level. Break the shield once, and the Skeletal Marauder will basically kill itself!

On Amarth, if any of his minions are still alive but Hard CC'ed, they will die but not explode for damage when he casts Final Harvest.

You can snap all the mobs in the Necropolis down to Amarth's area but using a Tricks of the Trade or Misdirection. This will group up mobs that are otherwise hard to group. (Details)

On Surgeon Stitchflesh, the first 3 hooks on Stitchflesh's Creation are useful and keeping the Surgeon Stitchflesh alive is worth it:
The first hook grips Surgeon Stitchflesh off his bench.

The second hook grips Surgeon Stitchflesh canceling the fixate Morbid Fixation.

The third hook can be pre-aimed at his bench again, gripping him back down instantly.

Nalthor the RimebinderDark ExilePlaguefall Tips and Tricks

The Unstable Canister's Violent Detonation and Wretched Plagueborer's Plague Bomb deals high damage to enemies, including bosses and Pridefuls! Be careful, as these explosions can only hit 5 targets.

The Wretched Plagueborer's in the gauntlet area will infinitely spawn until Virulax Blightweaver is defeated. This means that you can use Wretched Plagueborer's Plague Bomb to clear the majority of trash in the area, saving you a lot of time!

Sanguine Depths Tips and Tricks

On Kryxis the Voracious, Severing Smash has a 100 yard range, allowing players to outrange it if needed.

On General Kaal, Wicked Rush targets a player's location when she starts moving, allowing players to dodge.

Before the second boss, one of the gargolyes on each side will be a Chamber Sentinel. Which gargoyle is the mob is random, but there will be one on each side.

Spires of Ascension Tips and Tricks

Forsworn Goliath's Rebellious Fist only has a 30 yard range, allowing players to outrange it if the cast is not interrupted.

Forsworn Mender's Imbue Weapon and Forsworn Warden's Bless Weapon will drop a weapon that can be picked up by walking over it when purged. This will deal bonus AoE damage on the player's next 5 melee attacks.

Forsworn Skirmisher's Hurl will only be cast when the primary Threat target (Tank) isn't in range. There's also a dead zone, where the mob will not cast Hurl and will walk towards the tank, allowing you to move it slowly.

On Ventunax, the first 3 Shadowhirls are permanent, while the rest of them will eventually expire.

After Ventunax, you can skip a good portion of trash, using the skip in the Twitch clip below.

Theater of Pain Tips and Tricks

On Gorechop, Tenderizing Smash will pull you to the location of whatever you're targeting, not the boss. It's weird.

On Mordretha, the Endless Empress, the Deathwalker adds don't scale with Key Level.

You can ensure that you fight Rek the Hardened by approaching the duel when Rek is about to attack.
