The Ozumat fight is unique, having you mostly focus on dealing withadds before facing the sea kraken himself. During the first phase you willfight waves of Deep Murloc Invaders, which should be simply AoE'd down quickly.The Vicious Mindlashers should be interrupted whenever possible to stoptheir Brain Spike mana burn; and Unyielding Behemoth should befocused down quickly and stunned as much as often as you are able. After killingenough adds, phase two will start.

Phase two consists of killing the 3 Faceless Sappers around theroom. While in this phase, a Blight Beast will periodically spawn inand move slowly towards their target. These should be picked up by a tank andkited as they move very slow and hit rather hard. Once all 3Faceless Sappers are killed, the third and final phase starts. In thisphase players are buffed with Tidal Surge, increasing health andhealing by 500%, and damage dealt by 2000%. This allows you toquickly dispatch Ozumat in this phase as he has a much higher HP poolthan an average dungeon boss.
