Argus the Unmaker
Official Overview (Blizzard)
The Speaker has heard the anguished whispers of the Unmaker, an emerald star calling out from the darkness. Little is known of him, only that his once-noble soul has been twisted by ages of endless torment.
Tanks
• Alternate tanks on Argus to minimize Sweeping Scythe damage. • If you are made the Avatar of Aggramar, you will need to protect players afflicted by Soulbomb so they are not killed by Soulbomb Detonation. • Constellar Designates equipped with Sword of the Cosmos and Blades of the Eternal should be tanked. Additionally, try to keep the Designate equipped with Sword of the Cosmos away from any other designates to avoid Cosmic Power stacking too high.
Healers
• Players afflicted by Soulbomb and Soulburst will take heavy damage - make sure their health is high enough that they are not subsequently killed by Soulbomb Detonation and Soulburst Detonation. • If you are afflicted by Soulbomb, move to the Avatar of Aggramar to avoid being killed by Soulbomb Detonation. • Once Gift of the Lifebinder is afflicted with Withering Roots, heal it to keep it alive so that players can use it to come back to life. • Collect the Motes of Titanic Power while you are a ghost to empower Khaz'goroth, enabling him to cast Titanforging.
Damage Dealers
• Move into Gift of the Sky or Gift of the Sea to gain the power of Golganneth. However, make sure you always move into the same one, as the effects are mutually exclusive! • If you are afflicted by Soulbomb, move to the Avatar of Aggramar to avoid being killed by Soulbomb Detonation. • Collect the Motes of Titanic Power while you are a ghost to empower Khaz'goroth, enabling him to cast Titanforging.

Hungering Souls
Hungering Souls stalk the spirit world, released by Argus' wrath. If they come into contact with any ghosts they will burst, applying Soul Detonation to any nearby ghosts.
Soul Detonation
Motes of Titanic Power
When Reorigination Modules complete a Reorigination Pulse, their Titanic energy is released into the Spirit World as Motes of Titanic Power. Players can walk into these to collect them, granting Khaz'goroth Titanic Essence that he can use to fuel his Titanforging ability.
Eonar's Aid
Gift of the Lifebinder
Eonar causes the Gift of the Lifebinder to spring forth to save the players. While the Gift of the Lifebinder lives, players may freely Release Spirit after dying. If players move to the tree as ghosts, they will be returned to life, at the cost of some of the Gift of the Lifebinder's Life Energy. When the Gift of the Lifebinder's Life Energy is depleted, it becomes the Withered Gift of the Lifebinder.
Withered Gift of the Lifebinder
Players may heal the Withered Gift of the Lifebinder. Additionally, when they use it to resurrect, it is afflicted by Withering Roots.
Withering Roots
Khaz'goroth's Aid
When Khaz'goroth has at least 20 Titanic Essence, he will begin to channel Titanforging. Players can collect Motes of Titanic Power within the Spirit World to grant Khaz'goroth Titanic Energy.
