📖 Overview
The Black Morass sits within the Caverns of Time in Tanaris where the Bronze Dragonflight allows mortals to visit moments in Azeroth's history. This dungeon revisits the opening of the Dark Portal — the moment that started the First War. The Infinite Dragonflight is attempting to prevent the Portal from opening, which would paradoxically destroy the present-day Azeroth.
The dungeon uses a wave-defense format unlike any standard instance. Waves of Infinite Dragonflight attackers come in intervals while elite bosses lead specific assaults. The timeline stability gauge depletes as enemies reach key points — if it hits zero the dungeon fails. High sustained DPS and fast wave clearing is everything here.

Black Morass rewards sustained DPS above all else. Mage AoE is exceptional for clearing Infinite Dragonflight infantry waves. Paladin Consecration holds wide groups of wave attackers efficiently. Assign one player to call out incoming elite boss waves so the group can prepare cooldowns.

💡 Tips & Warnings
Temporus burst: When Temporus activates Hasten he attacks extremely quickly. Your tank needs Shield Wall, Last Stand, or equivalent defensive cooldowns the instant Hasten fires. Coordinate with healer on this before the pull.
Timeline gauge: The gauge is the dungeon's health bar. Low DPS groups feel the pressure during elite boss fights when clearing slows. If the gauge is dropping fast, focus elite bosses over regular waves until it stabilises.
Hourglass of the Unraveller: One of the best pre-raid DPS trinkets in the game drops from Aeonus. Black Morass is worth farming specifically for this item before raid progression begins.
