FIGHT OVERVIEW
This phase has 2 phases.
On this boss, players have a new ressource: Corruption. Being hit by avoidable abilities increase your corruption level.
Every 25 Corruption, up to 100, adds a debuff to the player.
Phase 1
In the first phase, you fight against Cho'gall and some adds.
Assign a tank to handle Corrupting Adherents, keep them away.
Ranged DPS should focus on killing them quickly, far from the raid.

It's crucial to have low Corruption before the second phase starts at 25% HP.
