Xal'atath's Bargain: Devour Explained
This affix puts a Void Rift debuff on all 5 players that can be removed one of two ways:
- Applying a certain amount of healing to each player's Void Rift.
- Dispelling the Void Rift.
Once a Void Rift is removed, it grants the party a stack of Lingering Void which grants bonus maximum health and bonus Critical Strike. With all 5 Void Rift removed, the party can gain a max of +10% maximum health and +20% Critical Strike.
All Dispel Types Available for Void Rift
The easiest way to handle this affix is to dispel. Almost every class, regardless of role, can help here. Here are all of the ways to dispel this affix:
Death Knight
Death Knights can use Anti-Magic Shell before the shields go out. This will prevent the shield from going out, but will NOT grant a stack Lingering Void. If you want to gain a stack of Lingering Void, Death Knights will have to spec into Unyielding Will and then Anti-Magic Shell once the shield is out.
Demon Hunter
Unfortunately, Demon Hunters do not have any way to deal with this affix.
Druid
All Druid classes can spec into Remove Corruption for this affix. Restoration Druid also has Nature's Cure as another way to dispel.
Evoker
Evokers have both Cauterizing Flame and Expunge at their disposal. We recommend using Expunge first because of its quicker cooldown and because Cauterizing Flame can be used for other purposes such as intense tank bleeds.
Hunter
Hunters will need to spec into Emergency Salve. This makes it so Feign Death and Aspect of the Turtle remove poison and disease effects when used which will remove Void Rift. Once the debuffs go out, simply use Feign Death or Aspect of the Turtle.
Mage
Mages have Remove Curse that can be used on any target to remove the affix.
Monk
All Monk classes have
