Ok... so that is bullsh#t

Commentaire de Riverpaw

Literally created a WoWhead Account just to comment how frustratingly hard this is. 904 resto shaman. 10/10 heroic. Couldn't even get halfway through Phase 1. I was afraid these would be frustrating (healing NPC's always is), but didn't expect this bad. Seems that they've scaled it to require 7.2 raid gear to have a shot at it, which is unfortunate. And yes, I was allowing Jarod to tank the mana arrows and dispelling/interrupting the Mana Blitz buff on the mages.

Commentaire de geoffster

The tank can't pick up ranged enemies, isn't geared for the content, and uses no active mitigation.

The rogue stands in everything imaginable.

The hunter is always attacking the worst target possible.

Nobody interrupts critical spells.

And somehow in the end the healer is the one who failed.

I have to commend Blizzard for the most realistic healing simulation I have ever experienced in an MMO.

Commentaire de flatluigi

This quest starts the scenario that leads to obtaining the challenge appearance for your artifact. Currently, these scenarios are incredibly difficult to the point where it might genuinely be impossible to complete unless you're better geared -- and by 'better geared,' I mean 910-920+ ilvl. Don't expect to make any headway until Tomb releases, is what I'm saying.

It would've been very nice to have the above communicated in-game before you were one-shot and came here to figure out what happened, but oh well.

895 Resto Druid, was incredibly tough, 10/10 best healing SIM

Commentaire de Lunaara

As a holy Paladin, this is horrible...
I do some good heals but not fast enough apparently

Commentaire de Kman8675

I did it on my 5th try. Once you get the basics down it's pretty easy.

899 Holy Pally, Almost completed...Phase 1. Then 3 mobs activated and decimated the commander at once.

Commentaire de Hondababy

Ok 904 Resto druid here, have made some progress almost done last mob of first wave ;(
Ive found so far with the Arcane add if u interrupt (bash) them when they have about 4stacks, stacks reset and ur "helpers" can kill it off before his stacks get back up, Hide from the mana draining arrow behind one of the people (tank if he hasnt got more then 1 mob hitting on him) and kite the melee add as the tank cant taunt when he is focused.
Hope this helps a little in getting u started
After info if/when people get in past first phase :)

Commentaire de cinderstorm

It's like Proving Grounds all over again! :D
I've done probably about 10 attempts and I'm stopping for awhile. Can't get past phase 1 with all the adds. As a resto shaman I have literally nothing I can use to help the "tank", and the guy just gets trucked. Only tips I have are:

One of the mobs will do an ability that I cannot for the life of me remember the name of (it has Mana in its name!). This will put a blue arrow on your head, and a blue line between you and the mob. If you are hit with this it hurts a lot, and will take away a bunch of your precious mana. To deal with this, put the tank between you and the add as this ability goes off so that he gets hit by it instead of you. The tank will need to be healed up, but at least you have the mana to do it.

At the time of writing this, Canibehealz has tweeted out to say that the Perfectly Preserved Cake trinket does not currently apply to the NPCs. I tried this myself and it didn't work for me either, so might want to try other trinkets in the meantime.

The point that I keep hitting is when there are 2 of the mobs fixated on me and chasing me - I don't have CD big enough to cope with the damage, and I can't outrun them. My stuns etc. don't last long enough nor are they available often enough for me to use them reliably.

That's about all I've got so far. Haven't got too far yet, but I'll keep trying! It's hard, but it's fun. :) Good luck everyone!

EDIT: The casters need to be either interrupted or dispelled - if their stacks get too high they can on-shot you and your team.

Commentaire de Zonight

897 Holy Paladin, mythic gear with Prydaz and Stone Spaulders.

I have managed to get past phase one. I single beacon the warrior using him as a shield for the Mana Drain shot. The mages i rotate at 3 stacks of their buff my Hammer of Justice then Arcane Torrent then Repentance if needed. I also repent and use Devo when 2 bladesmen are up and using their aoe, can also repent the Mana shot in down time to avoid some damage and save some mana.

Phase 2 I kill the eyes on by one while keeping heavy healing on myself, watch out for the massive aoe they do as they die. Next part is an Elite add with bats quite easy to take down aslong as you keep the fel orbs that path around killed, be caful as they regenerate and start pathing again.

Thats as far as i can make it im not sure what to do about the 2 16mil health Bladesmen or the Archer, i do know you can heal and dispell the 2 spirits there and use them as sheilds but i am stuck as to how to kill them fast enough to get past the door and beat the timer.

Commentaire de Phuzzums

This is what happens when you let rogues tank.

Commentaire de noriaga

I'm a 902 holy pally and I made it to stage 3 its impossible I feel like ATM reached it 24 times and u have to heal the 3 idiots attacking eacother for legion reasons while toping of 8 adds with 5 million HP in less than 5seconds 2 on each side I pumped out 140mill in 2 mins barely toped of 3/8 NPCs I had to heal went oom real quick so I made an account to say its pointless to do it as a healer rightniw way easier to do it as a DPS or tank.

Commentaire de Dremion

Made an account so I could comment. I have made it to the last stage and I'll list how I do it as a 909 Resto Druid (Sorry other classes I can't be more helpful). The stage numbers may not be 100% accurate as I haven't quite been watching the numbers as I go, if you read through it fully you should understand what part of the challenge each one is. Good luck!

For Stage 1 - Talents 1/2/3/1/3/3/2 Basically stonebark to keep the squishies alive (frequently), bash for the casters, prosperity for the the moments you want to cry. Use lust (drums) on either wave 4 or 5 whichever you find gives you more trouble.
Wave 1: This is an archer, stand near the back so he teleports towards the gate (this has happened every time I stand at max range, might be RNG based but when I was moving up closer he would teleport to the back). I would save all CC for the next wave, just do minor hots (wild growth kept everyone but tank up), moon fire immediately and dps.
Wave 2: Archer + Mage, dot the mage, throw down ursol's vortex (this will stop the archer from moving and prevent a lot of damage on jarod), use bash on the mage at about 65-70%, this will drop his stacks. Again minor hots help dps.
Wave 3: Mage + Warrior, bash again at 65-70%, right after the warrior finishs the channel get ready to bash and displacer away. You should be able to tank the add to the face when he gets to you, burn the mage.
Wave 4: Mage + 2 Warriors, Bash the mage right as the channel for the warriors is about to end, use wild growth right as its about to start and then tranquility (get ready to cancel it as the warriors are ending to bash). Throw down Ursol's so you can move away from the warriors with ease. Be prepared to barkskin / ironbark as its needed this wave has a lot of rng factor I have found. Try to prolong it with 1 warrior up to get ursol's off cd as soon as possible.
Wave 5: Mage + Archer + Warrior, throw down ursols as soon as its up (on the archer), bash at that magic 65-70%, when fixated stand still and barkskin, and make sure that mage goes down quick. Once that happens you should more or less be in the clear.

Between stages, you don't need to start the next stage immediately, drink, wait for cds, and talent swap. I wouldn't wait for lust to wear off here.

Stage 2 - Talents 1/2/3/3/2/3/2 Typhoon is optional bash works equally as well depending on where you have trouble in this stage. I prefer typhoon since it has a shorter cd which allows me to interrupt the archer in the third part and still be able to functionally use it as I feel earlier.
Wave 1: Bunch of eyeballs, I dot them all up with moonfire (also dot the first with sunfire), when I get back to the first I reapply moonfire, get ready to swap to bear as it dies (Its a good idea to have lifebloom and rejuv on yourself here), this gives you more functional hp and you can frenzied regen immediately. From here on you basically want to get 1 low, use barkskin, kill 1, heal up, kill second, heal. Then do that same pattern but use ironbark. There should be 1 left after this, use the bear form again. If the eyes are getting too close for comfort walk away / typhoon them back.
Wave 2: This is 3 bats, 1 fel dominator? (May need to check the name), and 2 fel orbs. The orbs will slow and do a high ticking damage if you get near them, use sunfire to quickly kill them, follow this up with sunfiring all 4 of the remaining mobs and quickly shift into bear. Moonfire the main one and thrash / mangle cheese it (thrash should keep the orbs down). Shift out of bear to reapply sunfire if you have the safety margin.
Wave 3: This one is intense, you have 3 guys to heal while they take moderate ticking damage, 1 ghost (Edit: Figured out you can dispel him) running up and down who fears if you get too close, and an archer. Leave the archer alone, as soon as you open the gate pop a swiftmend on the first guy and apply lifebloom, immediately use incarnation and use 2 instant regrowths into the other 2 guys. Go back to the first and top him off (I could get him to full and swap back to the others before they got to low, you may need to check based on gear level). Regrowth both, and then top 1 off followed by the other. Don't worry about your mana we have time to regen it before you need to heal again. Stay at the bottom of the stairs the entire time to stay out of range of the ghost. P 1 ull the archer and fully dot him, slap ursol's down where he stands and proceed to wrath spam (healing as needed). When the archer teleports the second time typhoon to interrupt (or bash if this is your preference), if you don't have CC available shift into bear form, use Ironfur, and then frenzied regen, you should be able to stay in bear to push him down. At this point follow the ghost up the stairs, when it turns back displace past him and open the gate.
Wave 4: Tons of fel orbs, just sunfire them all as you go, don't walk directly on top of them (Had a few bug and still damage me)
Wave 5: For this I dot the inquistor up and then shift into bear, walk around the bear or run fast through them, ironfur as you can, use frenzied regen to keep yourself up, use ironbark and barkskin as you feel you will have down time after this. When the inquistor dies you have the liberty of killing the eyes, just shift into bear as they die, frenzied regen, and then heal yourself up.

Mid stage down time - Swap to 1/2/3/3/2/3/3 Wait for all cds including heroism / bloodlust (it is needed) Typhoon is 100% necessary but more on that later.

Stage 3: Use a prolonged power potion right before the combat starts (you will have "Stage #" flash on the screen), make sure you double rejuv all the allies, lifebloom / cenarion the fixated one, make sure your efflorescence is down, quickly drink before combat starts (every bit of mana will count). I lust for the first set of ghosts to pair with my potion and use swiftmends / regrowths to heal all 3 up. Use flourish if you feel pressure, my combo is wild growth as the ghost comes out (to allow for more mastery) and then swiftmend, regrowth, next. It is important you try to get all 3 healed before they reach the middle, 1 ghost missed makes the next stage / wave way harder. For the second set I use incarnation to spam regrowths into them, focus 1 at a time. For the third I use tranquility. If you can't heal them all up, all 3 are different, 1 is a mage, 1 is an archer, 1 is a warrior in each group of 3. Pick which one you find easiest to heal through (I found 2 ghosts manageable, 1 archer, 1 warrior)

Stage 4: This is where you kill off the ghosts, use the same strategies you used for stage 1, having no mages is super helpful and allows you to ursol's / bash entirely on the archer(s).

Stage 5: This is where I have troubles and don't currently have much advice to give. I will share more as I find more success. Finally beat it (115 tries), last phase you need to move around the room as he leaps at you to drop fire. During this you will also get a debuff that will do aoe damage based on your remaining hp. It wasn't hard to keep the allies up, but if you aren't prepared to move / have a personal to reduce damage taken it hits fairly hard. When I killed the boss, there was only 1 little space left.(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##perculia##DELIM##

902 MW monk here and can't get passed the first stage yet- it is very difficult.
Kind of upset about WW getting 2 hard stages and us getting 7; doesn't seem very well balanced from my point of view.

Commentaire de Saiyanblue

908 HPriest. This is painful, unable to get past the first phase, I got close but then the add spawn completely destroyed me.
It's fun I wont lie but its also insanely over-tuned.
I see this taking me a few tries - on attempt 3 as of typing this.

Good luck healers :)

We going to need it.

Commentaire de Vath

Don't think I'll be getting *any* challenge appearances for any of my characters. I don't play games anymore for gratification of the hardest tasks. If I'm not having fun I'm not playing or doing it. Frustration isn't worth it, and I'm not the type of player who will do any raiding above Raid Finder. Oh well. My artifact is transmogged anyway.

Commentaire de Warria

I've just managed to complete the challenge as a 900 iLvL Holy paladin. It takes approximately 15 minutes to finish all the stages. The challenge is relatively simple (at least for my class) once you know exactly what is going on. Here is a brief overview.

You'll be completing the challenge as a group of four: A tank, a melee DPS, a ranged DPS and yourself. Despite the numerous interruptable casts, the other members of your group will not inturrupt, stun or try to help you in any way. It is up to you to essentially deal with all mechanics yourself.

The The fight consists of 7 stages, but really only 4 main parts. These are:

Part 1: Dealing with Adds
For the first part, waves of mobs will come at you until you have killed all of the mobs in the room. There are three types:

1. Corrupted Risen Arbalest (Archer)
2. Corrupted Risen Mage (Mage)
3. Corrupted Risen Soldier (Rogue)

The Arbalests will jump around the room and fire at random group members dealing moderate damage. They will also cast Mana String at you (5 second cast time) which will deal damage and drain mana from the first enemy target it hits. Make sure there is a party member between you and the mob when the cast finishes.

The Mages will chain cast Arcane Blitz. Each time they successfully cast the spell, they will deal 50% more damage for 5 seconds (stacking). This will quickly be fatal for your group. If you stun these mobs at around 50%, you should avoid having them kill anyone.

The Soldiers have two abilities. They will cast Knife Dance (a group wide AoE for moderate damage) and a fixate. You can kite them during fixate, but it isn't always even needed.

These mobs will come at you in 5 waves. These are:

Wave 1: Archer
Wave 2: Mage, Archer
Wave 3: Mage, Warrior
Wave 4: Mage, 2 x Warrior
Wave 5: Mage, Archer, Warrior

From wave two onward, you should try to CC either an Archer or Warrior. Your party will focus on the Mage first, and have no problems breaking your crowd control. Deal with the remaining mobs as discussed above. Try to save healing cooldowns for waves 4 and 5, as they are quite intense. Ensure that you stun or interrupt the Mage so that its stacking damage buff falls off.

You do not need to worry about saving cooldowns, you can wait for as long as you want after this stage is done for your cooldowns to come back up (drums included).

Part 2: Saving your Group Members
After you finish stage 1, the boss will take your followers and you will have 6 minutes to reach the end of a series of rooms before they die. You need to do this part alone. This involves killing mobs and keeping yourself alive.

Room 1: 6 Flickering Eyes will spawn with 600k health each. Every time you kill one, you will be dealt massive damage. Make sure you top yourself off after you kill each add.

Room 2: You will have to kill one Felspite Dominator (6.2m HP) and two Fel Bat Pups. They don't hit too hard. I used DPS cooldowns here.

Room 3: Contains one Panicked Soul and three Damaged Souls. Dispel the Panicked Soul and heal the Damaged Souls to full health. If the Damaged Souls die, they will spawn enemies with a large amount of health that you have to kill (which may make it difficult to beat the timer). After you do this, there is one Corrupted Risen Arbalest at the top of the stairs you must kill (the same type as at the beginning of the instance). Try to CC him when he casts Mana String on you as you will not have anyone to soak it for you.

Room 4: Take your time moving through this room trying to avoid the Unstable Fel Orbs. If one starts channeling on you, kill it and heal yourself before moving again.

Room 5: Contains one Dread Corruptor and three Flickering Eyes. Kill the Dread Corruptor fast then kill the Flickering Eyes one at a time when you are full health (they will explode as they did earlier).

When you kill the mobs in the last room, you will get a break to drink and wait for your cooldowns to come back up.

Part 3: Healing the Souls
You now have your allies back, but they will start fighting each other after some RP. You can't let them die for this whole phase and they will require constant attention. In addition to this, the boss will spawn waves of three spirits (one Damaged Archer, Damaged Mage and Damaged Soldier) every 20 or so seconds or so which will move towards him. If they reach him, they will be absorbed. To stop him absorbing spirits, heal them to full health before they reach him. The phase ends when you fully heal 8 spirits.

When you heal the 8th spirit, the boss will give you a short break to drink and then make you fight every spirit you did not heal. For example, if two Damaged Mages were not healed to full and were absorbed by the boss, he will spawn two Corrupted Risen Mages (the same as in Stage 1). For this reason, you should prioritise the adds you heal in each wave. I would recommend healing the Damaged Mage first, then the Damaged Archer, then finally the Damaged Soldier.

This phase is very healing intensive and likely the hardest part of the challenge. As you don't want to have the boss absorb the adds, you want to manage your cooldowns to maximise how many you can heal in each wave. I used drums right when the first set came out along with a small cooldown and prolonged power potion to heal all of the adds in the first wave. I then used all my remaining cooldowns on the second wave to heal all three again. On the third wave, I was only able to fully heal one spirit. On the fourth wave I healed the final spirit, resulting in the boss spawning two adds (one Archer and one Soldier) at me.

After you finish this part, you will have a small break to drink before you fight the boss (but you do not get an opportunity to wait for cooldowns).

Part 4: Killing the Boss
Lord Erdris Thorn himself is very simple. He has two abilities. For his first ability, he will jump on you and place a large fel pool on the ground. For his second ability, he will place Ignite Soul on you every so often. After 8 seconds, you explode and deal damage to your party equal to your current health. Move into the pool and drop to ~30% each time this is cast.

Make sure you make good use of the space in your room and you will have no issues. The healing requirement in this phase is a joke and is by far the easiest part of the challenge.

Commentaire de Aytirios

I was wondering why they put "win 10 rated battlegrounds" and "kill heroic Kil'Jaeden" in the same requirements to unlock colors for the appearance. They expect you to be 930 with Heroic on farm rather than it actually being a skill challenge.

Commentaire de Caitrin

This makes the scenarios with Wrathion in Pandaria seem like easy cakes. Resto Druid here and they can take this scenario and shove it. I guess I have to be mythically geared? I'll go back after I'm geared from heroic ToS, but if this has anything to do with me getting flying (looking that up), I will blow a fuse at Blizzard.

Commentaire de AKPlayer

Yea.. Went a couple rounds geared at iLevel 897 in Healer Spec. Don't care for this much. Like next level up from Proving Grounds, but extremely over tuned.

Since I don't care much about fancy colors on my staff I'll be dropping this quest. Maybe BLIZZ will figure out how to configure Legion in a fashion that is Healer friendly. (Still annoyed about Mob HP by iLevel in 7.2 and Withered not configured for Healers).

PASS on this one. Guess I'll have to wait longer on my REP grind.

Commentaire de WildUnicorn

What is the meaning of having a mythic scaled Black rook meh dungeon, and a pleb tank with no shield, and a %^&* rouge + hunter. I know it should be the challenge of healing them, but dont do this scaling..

Commentaire de Faell

Completed as 909 resto druid after about 20 attempts. Make sure to flask, food, and augment rune. Bring drums and prolonged power pots. Watch a video or two before starting to get familiar with the setting. If you have some legendaries to pick from, Prydaz, chef-d'œuvre de Xavaric is great for survivability and Vision future de Velen/Essence de G’Hanir macrod together for on demand healing.

Talents:
Prospérité
Transfert bestial
Affinité du gardien
Typhon / Rossée puissante (either can be used for interrupting Mages)
Culture
Germination
(really shines here)

Stage 1
Arbalests - Make sure a party member is between you and the arbalest when it is targeting you with the mana drain ability, which will be a big blue arrow pointing at you. Getting mana drained a single time can easily lead to a wipe. Be prepared to heal whichever party member gets the dot from this ability hitting them.

Mages - Interrupt them with either typhoon or mighty bash after they reach 4 stacks. It starts to get dangerous after that point.

Soldiers - You can use displacer beast and ursol's vortex to kite them when fixated. If you are high health when fixated, it's generally easier to just heal through it than kite.

Your DPS is actually relevant, especially with the mages. You can shave off 1-2 of their casts by killing them quicker. You need to DPS when possible.

When targeted with the soldier's fixate at the end of a wave, move towards the next group of adds that will spawn so your NPC's won't have to run across the room to engage them.

Stage 2
Drink.

Stage 3
The timer wasn't an issue at all. I finished with almost a full minute remaining each time. Ignore it.

Flickering Eyes - Kill them one at a time as they deal massive AoE damage when killed. Heal back up to near full before killing another.

Felspite Dominator and Fel Bat Pups - Kill the bats first. Throw down an ursol's vortex when you pull them to get some free DPS time.

Unstable Fel Orbs - Hit them with sunfire (will hit mulltiples) to turn off their pulsing damage for about 5 seconds.

After you open the first door and start going up the hallway, you will encounter 4 friendly NPC's. Dispel fear from the NPC running around. Heal the other 3 to full (good time for essence of g'hanir) before engaging the Arbalest at the top of the stairs. Use the 3 NPC's you just healed to block the Arbalest's mana drain ability just like in Stage 1.

Open the next door and sunfire your way a path through the unstable fel orbs. You don't need to disable every single orb, and you can use displacer beast to skip by many of them.

Open the final door door. Stand in the doorway and start killing the Dread Corrupter first. When it summons the rotating eye beams, move towards the center of the room. After it is dead, kill the remaining Flickering Eyes one at a time.

Stage 4
Drink.

Stage 5
Your 3 party members will return, but are mind controlled and attack each other. You must keep them healed. The boss will slowly pull in 3 of the ghostly NPC's at a time from around the room. Heal them to full before they reach him to avoid having to fight them in Stage 6. Healing 8 ghostly NPC's to full HP ends this stage.

Keep your 3 party members at full health and fully hotted while standing in efflorescence. You don't have time to stop and heal them when the ghostly NPC's are being pulled in towards the boss. Heal and refresh hots in between waves of ghostly NPC's.

Pop lust, prolonged power, and essence of g'hanir for the first wave of 3 ghostly NPC's. Double rejuv each ghost then spam regrowth. None of them should make it to the boss.

You will still have lust and prolonged power for the second wave. Make use of your double swiftmend and don't let any of them make it to the boss.

For the third wave, you will only have to focus on healing 2 ghostly NPC's to end this stage, which is doable without cooldowns.

Stage 6
If you kept all the ghostly NPC's from reaching the boss in Stage 5, then you will skip Stage 6 completely. If not, you will have to kill them like you did in Stage 1.

Final Stage
The boss will become active. He will occasionally drop a fel pool on you that you need to quickly move out of. Place the fel pools along the outside edge of the room or you will run out of space. He will also put an ignite soul debuff on you every so often. It works exactly like it does in Karazhan on the Nightbane encounter, dealing damage to the entire party equal to that of your current health. So stand in the fel pools to get lower HP before the debuff explodes. I found bringing my HP to 30-40% HP for it was a safe value.

If you keep your HP too low, when he drops a fel pool on you, you're going to die. On the other hand, if you are too high HP when the debuff explodes, your party is going to die. They key here is understanding the timing. He seems to cast these 2 abilities on a fairly consistent timer. So don't leave yourself sitting at 30-40% HP if you are expecting a new fel pool to spawn on you before your ignite soul debuff is going to expire. You will want to use barkskin and ironbark on yourself to help survive the incoming fel pools. Save swiftmend for yourself to quickly get back to higher HP after the ignite soul explodes.

Help DPS the boss when you are able. Use another prolonged power pot. You'll still have a lust debuff, but using drums again will effect your 3 party members. I had several <10% wipes, so it very well could make the difference. If you die, your party members can still defeat the boss and you will get completion credit.(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##Wowhead##DELIM##

I completed it after 60 something attempts on my 904 resto shaman. I struggled a bit on the first stage, it then took me 5 attempts to understand what I was supposed to do during the second stage and 15 to 20 attempts to complete it. If you can pass the first stage, you can most likely do it.

Commentaire de PlainWhiteSocks

In Phase 1 as a holy priest you can use Dispel Magic on the mages. Don't let their buff stack. If you dispel them as soon as they grow big they won't do empowered casts and it's much easier to heal through. I marked all of the mages right at the start to make it easier to target them as well. You could also make them your focus target for easy targeting.

Any Holy Priest done it yet?

Healer Challenge Appearance - Holy Priest POV ~30 attempts

You will need to DPS. You will need CC. Put Shackle Undead on your toolbars friends.

Talent Setup
Traînée de lumière - really is the best talent here
- a small 10% mitigation is good for the Warriors in P1.
Blâme - MVP and your angel form is basically unused here
Lumière des Naaru - No other choice
Vague de Lumière - Better than binding heal - insta-Soins rapidess are so good
Divinité - No other choice
Apothéose - Required

Gearing
909 Equipped w/4 set (Voile de honte shared cape slot so could not use both sadly)
Prydaz, chef-d'œuvre de Xavaric
Vision future de Velen
Volonté inébranlable de Muze
Int/Mastery trinket
Int/Haste trinket
I have a 900 Preserved Cake but its not great for this.
42 Traits in weapon (Seriously the new traits are so important for this)

Consumables
Flacon du pacte murmuré
Potion de puissance prolongée
Crit Food (Opted for burst and I already have over 40% mastery)
Rune d'amélioration profanée
Drums (25% Héroïsme)

Phase 1 - Waves of Adds
Without going through all the waves, there are a few rules to follow; Theres a Mage who casts and gets a stacking damage buff, a Hunter who does lots of party wide damage and a shot which will drain mana, and a Warrior who fixates and blade dances.

Cooldown management is essential - knowing when Chastise is up and forcing it to be up is super important to stun the Mages - I do it when they are at around 60% HP. ALWAYS STUN THEM AROUND HERE - they can one shot members of your group.
Shackle Undead is so important here, but mobs gain Diminishing Returns meaning they become resistant to it (If this happens, you can get a sneaky Chastise off and have it up for the next Mage by dumping some smites). Always shackle a Hunter as it's casting Mana Sting (if one of these goes off it's not good - you can LoS it behind one of the NPCs but I wouldn't), always shackle a warrior JUST after it finishes casting Knife Dance. Never shackle mages. They don't have to stay shackled - only interrupt.
Weave in smites and holy fires where possible - again, making sure Chastise is up is important.
The damage can be bursty so be super vigilant - keep Renew/PoM flowing without using too much mana and keep people topped off. Use your Holy Words liberally to keep up Divinity.
Provided you respect the above, you won't struggle until the last two waves, which are Mage/Warrior/Warrior and then Mage/Hunter/Warrior. I used drums on the final wave - it's important to note mana gets pretty sketchy but as you learn the enemy damage output, you can manage it much much better. I left phase one with 80% mana on the kill attempt without using a mana pot (Although I had to use them early on). The second last wave can be a bit bursty with the Warriors and they will eat you if you're not careful. I saved most of my CDs for these last two waves.
If you pass all the waves, you have time to drink and wait for your CDs to come back (You shouldn't need them)
Granny Marl is a useless old bat.

Phase 2 - Timed Run

This is actually the easiest part of the run. You have 6 minutes to deal with a bunch of adds and run up to the last boss room of BRH from where Smashbro is. I took off as much Mastery gear as possible and put on crit/haste because you won't be doing much healing here. On my first try I had just over a minute left on the timer. Pace yourself. Most healers one shot this phase!

Room 1 is a bunch of eyes - kill one THEN TOP YOURSELF OFF BEFORE KILLING ANOTHER - repeat. Just outside of room 1 after you kill the eyes there's a felguard and two felbats - pull them into the room and nuke them down. These were a joke. I used Apotheosis here.
Now we go to the stairs. Use holy nova to disable the green orbs (They will mess you up otherwise). The first part has a NPC running around and 3 NPCs dying of fire. Dispell the feared NPC and don't let the other 3 die - if they die, they become a hostile add from Phase 1. Once topped off you have an Archer from Phase 1 on top of the stairs. Just kill it - shackle it to interrupt Mana Sting (Or do what I did and used the NPCs you just healed). After this, just run up the rest of the stairs spamming Holy Nova to shut down green orbs.
Room 2 is an Inquisitor and 3 eyes. Burst down the Inquisitor and then the three eyes like you did the first room (Seriously, don't lose a run to an Eye explosion).
Phase 2 is done! You have time to mana up and wait for Hero/Lust debuff to wear off. I had about 5 mins left on mine so got a drink, took a bio and calmed myself because the next part sucks.

Phase 3 - Welcome to Hell
This is the hardest phase. Your 3 useless NPC friends will start fighting eachother and you have to keep these idiots alive in addition to topping off NPCs that will travel toward the boss. These come in waves of three, one Archer, one Mage, one Warrior - and if they reach the boss before being topped off, they will become hostile enemies at the start of the next phase (same as Phase 1 adds). Also put back on your proper healing gear (No cakes - use an Int stat stick). It's not uncommon to have 2 adds get through and have to deal with them.

Your party will need attention here - but Holy Word: Sanctify should be enough to keep them alive while you focus on the other NPCs while weaving flash heals. Below is a rotation I used to top off the waves of NPCs, but bear in mind between sets of adds, as well as during you will need to drop heals on your friends.

It's super important before each set comes out that you have Serenity off CD. Having your T19 4 Set is great here for the buff.

Set 1: I used Drums, Prolonged Power, and Velen's
Add one; Light of T'uure > Serenity > Flash
Add two; Flash spam
Add three; Light of T'uure > Serenity > Flash

Set 2: I used Apotheosis
Add one; Flash > Serenity > Flash
Add two; Flash spam
Add three; Flash > Serenity > Flash

Set 3/4: You should be out of CDs. Just use the same as set 2 while weaving in Light of T'uure. It's likely one or two adds will get through.

It sucks wiping on this phase and beyond because you have to start again if you wipe.

Once done, you'll have a chance to drink. Any NPCs that got through will spawn. If you have the Cheese Cloak (Xan'shi) equip it now if you weren't using it.

Final Phase - Home Stretch
This is less intense than the previous phase but vigilance is still required. I managed to one shot this without Xan'shi. It's one Boss who has only two abilities;

He will leap on you and drop a pool of felfire which does not despawn. It will mess you up if you stay in it.
The Nightbane ability where you get the debuff and you have to take enough damage so that when it expires, it doesn't explode and kill your fragile, fragile group.

Go to the edge of the room and you'll move around in a circle as fire spawns, eventually ending up in the center - the room will be covered by the end of this and it's likely you'll die. If you die, don't release - you don't fail unless an NPC dies and if the boss is low they can finish him. Once you get the debuff, strafe into the fire patch and spam heal yourself. If he hasn't leapt in a while, prepare a GS/Desperate Prayer to stay alive.

Good Luck and protip; Chastise will stun the boss :) weave in those smites and get as many is as you can!(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##Wowhead##DELIM##

STAGE 4
Ondulation, Totem condensateur, Soutien ancestral, Totem de protection ancestrale, Totem d’explosion nuageuse, Ascendance

Legendary:
STAGE 1-4 - Use 2 of your best survability legendary
Racines de Shaladrassil + Secret de Sephuz

STAGE 4 - Use 2 of your best healing output legendary
Vague souvenir + Secret de Sephuz

Trinkets: Do not use mana trinkets, pick 2 best output trinkets you have.

If you die at any point in scenario, use Réincarnation, scenario is not over until your allies die.

Stage 1 was hardest for me. Keep Healing Rain down at all times, Cloudburst Totem and Healing Stream totem on CD.
Use Healing Wave and Undulation proc combined with Tidal Waves buff for most mana efficient healing, Healing Surge in case someone drops low.
Earthern Shield Totem on warrior's Knife dance aoe.
When you fight 1 warrior add that focuses on you and enrages, stand in healing rain and heal, its easy to outheal 1 warrior.
If you make it to wave with 2 warriors and mage, make sure you are standing close to mage so that when warriors use knife dance, you stun them together with mage, after that they focus on you, put Earthbind down and kite. When mage is dead, all you have to do is outheal their next knife dance (use HTT).
Last wave make sure you interrupt and purge all stacks off of mage.
Ascendance should be used if you are in trouble at any point in Stage 1.

After you finish stage 1, run to the room and start drinking.
Orbs spawn, they do heavy damage, kill them 1 by 1 and top yourself after each kill.

In next room, move to the closed gate and spam Chain Lightning, it will kill Unstable orbs aswell.

Room with 3 low health allies and a feared one, dispel fear ASAP, pop Ascendance and top all 3 allies off. Stun archer on 1st Mana arrow attack, and on 2nd Mana arrow attack pop Astral shift. After you kill him, drink and heal to full.

In next room, pop Spiritwalker's Grace and spam Chain Lightning.
In the following room, stay in the corner, pop potion and burst down Inquisitor add, make sure you move to another part when he spawns eyes, after he is dead, kill remaining orbs 1 by 1.

If you have made it to stage 4, just wait until you have heroism, and all CDs back up again, switch to Ancestral Guidance and Ancestral Protection Totem and equip your output legendary.

Healing Rain down at all times. Keep riptide up on your allies.
On wave 1 use Ancestral guidance and spam Healing surge to top all 3 spirits off.
On wave 2 use Ascendance and spam Healing Surge and top all 3 spirits off.
On wave 3 use Spirit-Link on you and your allies and quick spam Healing Surge to top off 2 out of 3 spirits, after you heal all 8 spirits, your allies stop fighting.

Last stage use potion, heroism and make sure your health stay at about 40-50% when you have debuff up, and be at 100% when debuff is not up. Make use of the room as it covers up with green aoe fast.
Ancestral Protection Totem in case you are about to die, you can use it to resurrect yourself.

901 Resto Shaman here with 42 traits and the new Golden Trait. After many tries I've finally managed to complete the challenge and want to share the way I've done it.

Talents 1/2/1/1/3/3/1 - Nighthold Tier 4PC - Legendaries: Prydaz, chef-d'œuvre de Xavaric and Racines de Shaladrassil

You want to save Bloodlust and your Ankh, as you'll need them on the last two stages.

Stage 1:
Wave 1: Archer - Easy round. Hide behind the tank with the stings and try to do some damage to get over it faster.
Wave 2: Mage, Archer - Start with a Lightning Surge Totem, set focus on mage and interrupt the next Arcane Blast. Hide behind the tank and try to interrupt as much as you can. If you don't have Lightning Surge Totem yet, wait for it before you push it into the next wave.
Wave 3: Mage, Warrior - Start with an interrupt on the Mage, and use your Lightning Surge Totem on the Warrior's Knife Dance. Before the stun runs out place an Earthbind Totem underneath them and kite the fixate. If you don't have Lightning Surge Totem yet, wait for it before you push it into the next wave.
Wave 4: Mage, 2 x Warrior - Same as the wave before but you have to be extra careful on the fixate. Usually both of the Warriors are gonna fixate on you, and this time you want to use Spiritwalkers Grace too, just incase they get to you. You also need Lightning Surge Totem before the next wave starts.
Wave 5: Mage, Archer, Warrior - Probably the hardest part of the stage. Start with an interrupt on the mage, and pop Lightning Surge Totem before the Knife Dance goes off possibly on all three of them. Hide behind the tank with the sting, and as soon as he get shot pop Ascendance and heal your ass off. You want to use your Healing Tide Totem on the next Knife Dance and Sting combo, meanwhile interrupting as much as you can. If you want you can also use Bloodlust for more healing, just be sure to use everything you can because you won't need them in the next few Stages.

Stage 2:

First Room: You need to dps down the eyes. As soon as you kill one it blows up and deals a significant amount of damage, so as long as you kill them one by one it shouldn't be a problem. Heal after each eye to be sure to survive.
Second Room: There are two orbs patroling around and a Felguard with three Bats. As soon as you damage the orb, it deactivates so you want to flame shock the first orb and then go ham on the Felguard first because it buffs the bats around him. The faster you kill it the better because you'll get less damage from the bats later on. Use Spiritwalkers Grace and kite the orbs if they trying to get to you (ignore them at this point), heal yourself with Riptide and Healing Stream Totem.
Third Room: There is a friendly NPC in the middle fleeing around, dispel it. After that you want to heal the three burning NPCs as fast as you can, and you can begin your fight with the Archer on the top of the stairs. Hide behind the NPCs that you topped before on each sting casts while killing the Archer.
Fifth Room: I don't know if there should be more here, but I kinda just ran between the orbs to the next gate without any issues or encounter. If you get fixated by an orb Flame Shock it and move on to the next room.
Fifth Room: Your buddies are there with a Necromancer and a few eyes. You want to kill the Necromancer first and then the eyes.

Stage 3: Cast Healing Rain (keep refreshing it) under your buddies. Cast Healing Tide Totem on the first wave of souls, top them up. Cast Bloodlust on the second wave of souls for the extra heals and spam the living hell out of Healing Surge on everything with a few riptides inbetween. You should have some of the remaining bloodlust for the third set of souls, and with Ascendance you can top up the last set aswell which makes you skip a whole stage.

Stage 4 The boss is going ham, stay at the edge of the room and get stomped on. Move to the edges of the pools and stay there until the next stomp occurs. You'll get a debuff which works the same way as the one on Nightbane, you want to get to low HP by standing in the pools, but be really CAREFUL because if you get too low and the boss jumps on you, you'll most likely die. If you did everything well and didn't die during the run, you can be a little greedy here as you can ankh up if you &*!@ed up something.(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##Wowhead##DELIM##

Commentaire de ScottyRica

Just throwing my build out there. Used 2/2/3/1/2/3/2. Hardest part for me was the the healing of the souls.

1st set: Tree + drums + potion. Rejuv each, WG, regrowth spam. Gets all 3.
2nd set: (drums/potion still up) G'hanir, Rejuv each 2x, WG, regrowth to top off. Gets all 3.
3rd set: I purposefully only heal 1. Allow remaining two to get through (I heal mage, let archer/warrior through).
4th set: Pick any one and heal it to full.

Reason I let two of the 3rd set through is to drink, allow cds to recharge, etc.

Deal with the archer/warrior that spawn, same as in phase 1.

Boss is easy, just keep hots rolling on all 3 of the NPCs, keep yourself around 50-60%. Use bear form as needed. G'Hanir is up
at this point so you can use it if you fall behind. Tree comes off CD when boss is around 50% as well so there is that as well. Also
since I never used Tranq during the soul phase, that is also available. As long as you keep DOT's up on boss he dies with a small amount
of the room available.

Commentaire de Anatta

Completed as 899 restoration druid.
I used a single set of gear and talents for the whole thing. Food (mastery), flask, plus prolonged power potions and drums for stage 3. Talents 3/2/3/3/3/3/3, 4pc Nighthold tier set, Velen's and Prydaz's legendaries, 42 artifact traits.

I used Abundance instead of Cenarion Ward, but I believe either can work fine throughout the challenge. Having 100% crit chance regrowths can remove some random element, but mostly I used the talent as it's what I'm most experienced with in 5-man content.

Typhoon instead of Mighty Bash. This allows you to interrupt both a mage and a soldier's blade dance at once, although you need slightly more accurate timing. It also has a shorter cooldown and longer range.

Stage 1

Most the damage is random and spiky. Keep your party healed up, especially if there's a mage active.

Your party will always attack just one enemy at a time. Their preferred target is a mage, second a soldier, and they'll only attack the archer if there's nothing else available. Even if there's multiple targets of the same type, the whole party will focus their attacks on one.

Your roots do work, but their duration is much shorter and suffers diminishing returns. You cannot keep anything CC'd for long, so save it for countering a specific ability.

I did very little DPS during this stage. A couple of spells to help get the mage down quicker is a good idea, but otherwise I focused on interrupts, healing and positioning.

The final two waves are by far the hardest. I found I would use Tranquility during one and G'hanir + Velen's during the other. The whole stage takes a while, so there's plenty of chance to use cooldowns multiple times. Don't forget to innervate.

Archers - Corrupted Risen Arbalest
Mostly spam a moderate damage attack at random targets.
They occasionally teleport away and cast Mana Sting (5 second cast) at you. You'll see a blue arrow above your head, and a large one on the floor. Position yourself so that the arrow passes through one of your party, preferably Commander Jarod Shadowsong. I found it useful to put raid marks on my party members so I could quickly see where each was. Don't hide behind the rogue as sometimes she shadowsteps at just the right time to get you killed. You can probably survive being hit by one mana sting, but it'll make mana management much more challenging. Shifting into bear does not prevent your mana being drained.

You can use Ursol's Vortex to prevent a cast of Mana Sting. Just place it where the archer is standing and when she teleports away to do Mana Sting, she'll be yanked back and the spell will be interrupted. Note that archers often move a bit when first pulled, so wait until they get settled before placing the vortex. I didn't use the vortex on the very first archer so it would be ready for the second wave.

The following Weak Aura will warn you with a "sonar" sound when Mana Sting is about to be cast. It'll usually trigger a second or two before the Mana Sting cast begins. If you're using another addon or just want to do it yourself, set up to listen for a successful cast of "phase shift".

Mages - Corrupted Risen Mage
Repeatedly cast an arcane blast spell at a random target. Each time they cast it they get a stacking buff. If allowed to stack too high it can easily one-shot you or your party members. The key is to interrupt him when he's at about 60% health so that his buff wears off. Typhoon only briefly interrupts the cast, so to get the buff to wear off you must interrupt him when he's at least half way through casting. If you find that timing difficult to pull off use Mighty Bash instead, that stun lasts long enough to always remove the buff.

On waves with both a mage and soldier(s) I timed my Typhoon to interrupt both arcane blast on the mage and blade dance on the soldier. This meant interrupting the mage slightly earlier than would be ideal.

Soldiers - Corrupted Risen Soldier
The only mob that Shadowsong can meaningfully tank. But they also have two special abilities.

Blade Dance hits everyone for moderate damage. It doesn't seem to have a range limit. The spell cast is a bit unusual as they first cast the ability and then channel it. If you're going to interrupt them it should be done as early as possible in the channelling part. Interrupting during the "cast" part seems to allow them to just cast it again straight away. So long as you've kept your HoTs going it's fairly easy to heal through.

The soldiers will also fixate a target and attack it for extra damage. Normally they fixate you, but if there's multiple soldiers they may fixate you and another random member of your party. You can either go into bear form to greatly reduce the damage you take, you can root the soldier and stand back, or just heal through it with barkskin up. If your party are attacking the soldier they'll break the roots early. If your party is in danger then staying in caster form to keep healing is the best option, but bear form is preferred when possible. Don't forget you can still mangle, thrash, and moonfire for reasonable damage in bear form.

Sometimes in the 5th wave both soldiers will fixate on you at once dealing significant damage. If that happens use bear form, barkskin, and frenzied regeneration.

Stage 2

Your party will run ahead, but you can wait as long as you wish before moving on.

After some chatting, your party is taken away and you have to fight through a series of rooms solo. There is a timer but even with guardian specialisation I usually made it through with 45 to 60 seconds left. You can use prolonged power potions to boost your damage if you're feeling worried.

Flickering Eyes
Don't panic, they move very slowly. They explode for heavy damage when they die. Moonfire on each will bring them to low health, then you can use a wrath or two to pop them when you're ready. Don't rush! Get yourself to full health before popping the next. If something goes wrong and you see multiple are going to die at once, use bear form and barkskin.

Felspite Dominator
Pull the next room's mobs back to where you are, away from the orbs. Cover yourself in HoTs, sunfire and moonfire as they approach you, then sit in bear and you can very safely kill them.

Standing near an active orb hurts you quite badly, but if you hit them with anything at all (including typhoon) they'll be disabled for approximately 5 seconds.

Damaged Souls
The next passageway has a feared NPC that you should dispel immediately. Now heal up the 3 friendly ghosts. They will be hit by "party wide" spells like wild growth. I found wild growth, followed by rejuvenation and a couple of regrowths on each was enough. Once they're all healed, engage the archer. She has the same abilities as before, and you can use your new friends to soak Mana Sting when you cannot interrupt her. She also sometimes shoots at the ghosts, so throw them a few heals to keep them alive. If they do die, you get an extra mob to deal with and you'll struggle to make the timer.

Lots of Unstable Orbs
Sunfire is great for disabling the orbs here. Just fire it off as you approach each grouping of orbs.

Dread Corruptor
He spawns things that it looks like you should dodge, but they actually do very little damage. Hold your position and kill him off. Bring the flickering eyes down to low health with a moonfire each, and again pop them when you're safely at full health. The biggest danger in this room is accidentally AoEing the eyes.

Stage 3

Again have as long as you want before starting the next stage. When you open the gate you'll get some more chatting and then the battle begins.

You will be keeping your party alive while they fight themselves, and trying to heal some souls to full health in a short time window.

The party
They will occasionally change targets, so sometimes one will be taking more damage than the rest. They don't move much, so a mushroom on them is helpful. Two rejuvenations on each is usually plenty. Note that you'll be taking no damage at all in this stage.

The souls
3 souls will spawn and slowly move towards the Big Bad. You want to get as many as possible to full health before they reach him. Beware that when they first spawn they'll be out of line of sight.

I used a potion of prolonged power just as the "Stage 3" text appeared, then a second once that wore off. I used drums, then G'hanir + Velen's for the 3rd set of souls.

Wait until the souls are within line of sight, wild growth, rejuvenation on each, then regrowths until they're full. I focused on getting the mages and archers healed first. Wild Growth followed by Tranquility should also work for one wave. I ended up just letting one soldier reach the boss.

"A true army"
Once you've healed a total of 8 souls, any that reached the boss will become hostile and attack. Your party starts behaving themselves again and will help fight. It's exactly the same mechanics as the first stage of the challenge, and may be easy or very hard depending on how many souls you let through.

Stage 4

You get a brief pause to drink, but the boss fight will begin automatically.

This battle is all about dealing with Ignite Soul. Apart from that, the damage on your party is far lower than it has been for the rest of the challenge.

Ignite Soul will always be cast on you. When it wears off, you do damage to everyone (except yourself) equal to your current health. If it goes off when you're at full health, your party will die. If you've fought Nightbane in the Legion version of Karazhan you'll be familiar with the mechanic. The boss periodically jumps to you and drops large patches of fel fire which do about 1m damage per second if you stand in them.

Use the patches to keep your health around 40-50%. Going lower is dangerous because the boss may jump to you again and kill you with a fresh fire patch. The timers on the boss jumping and the boss giving you the debuff are not synchronised, so you'll need to deal with them happening at different times. The fire patches don't seem to hurt your party.

Over time you will fill the room with fire and you can run out of places to stand. Always stand at the edge of an existing puddle so the next will use as little space as possible. You should also help out with DPS so the boss doesn't take too long to die. If you do run out of space, give your party plenty of heals before you die, it's possible to still complete the challenge while dead so long as they all survive.

Good luck!

Resto Druid Observations:

Note: Drums works for this part! Buy some!

Phase 1 is honestly the one that requires you don't mess up:
-The archers will require you to stand near Jarod and the rogue, ideally you'll want Jarod to take the arrow as he is the "Tank". Your other buds can take it, but it can make it more difficult. If it hits you, it will drain all your mana. Reset the fight if it hits you, because you won't have enough mana left.
-The mages need to be interrupted at some point after 3 stacks, to reset their damage to keep it tolerable. They will target randomly, so you'll need to respond with a Swiftmend promptly. Watch them the most, because these mobs will absolutely 1 shot a party member or yourself.
-The warriors will fixate on you normally, so you'll need to root and Ursol them to keep at bay. If needed, go Bear Form to survive. Keep in mind that they will do an AoE.

Waves 1-3 introduce you to the mobs, with Waves 4-5 being the most difficult. Wave 4 will have a Mage and two Warriors. I would suggest drumming on Wave 4, because the last thing you'll want are two warriors AoEing at once. The last Wave will have a lot of burst damage up front, so ideally Cenarion Ward should be taken.

Challenging content is challenging, 10/10.

Commentaire de TellusE

~900 Mistweaver completed.

EDIT (after a month): Finally got this thing beat. As challenges go, it's fairly interesting, but SO punishing. Getting to the latter phases just to get one-shot is absolutely soul-crushing. On the flip side, I learned a hell of a lot about my heals, and how to trust them in various situations. Think I've come out a better healer :P

Fun fact: you don't need to be alive to complete the final stage. I died when the boss was at 9m health left. However, damage is very low, so the party managed to kill him off before the tank died :P So: don't hit release in anger if you're far in!

Anyway! ~900 non-main mistweaver. I have never healed in raids, and only casually in battlegrounds/dungeons. This was the result of hours upon hours of grinding the challenge, finding the right hooks, getting the rhythm and setting up the choreography. Like tough achievements and other challenging content, this requires you to perform almost perfectly.

I focused on a haste build from my gear, ending up around 21% crit, 25% haste, 350% mastery.
I used Sephuz, and I think it made a significant difference in the first stage. Have that additional movement speed and haste coming in at regular intervals helped with kiting and topping up on incoming AoE bursts.
Talent build: 1/1/3/3/3/2/2

For the first stage:
Archer: Paralysis on every Mana String cast. This is doable, but due to diminishing returns your third cast may fail. This is where you position yourself for someone else to take the hit.
Mage: stun when damage bursts are no longer manageable. I usually time this with other abilities (see wave list)
Soldiers: kite. We're monks. Depending on the ebb and flow of my tries, I'd CC single soldiers during their AoE to allow for some regen.

Wave 1: CC on CD, do help with DPS.
Wave 2: dps the mage, CC the archer, stun the mage around the time the archer teleports. Before/after/during depends on teleport location.
Wave 3: dps the mage, CC the soldier on his first AoE, then stun both of them when he starts to fixate. I use this time to dash out and place a Transcendence marker if I forgot.
Wave 4: top everyone off and wait for the AoE. CC one soldier and burn through the rest. As soon as the two stop AoE'ing/are active again, I stun all three. At this point the mage will be at ~25% or so. Aim to CC soldiers that AoE and hope the other one fixates, eases the job.
Wave 5: pop drums and gather up mobs. Stun everyone as the soldier starts AoE. If your timing is perfect, you'll stun the archer as they port, disabling their arrow. If not, zip out and CC. Your job will be to top everyone off as you CC the archer and try to manage the soldier. At some point dimishing returns kick in on the archer, and you'll either be forced to let someone take a hit, or spend your stun (which should be off CD) to knock them off.

My biggest gripe with this stage was the seeming randomness of targeting and ability use. I could go from getting through the stage with 50% mana to be killed from 50% to 0% by a triple burst from three mobs who felt like targeting the same NPC or me. Made it a frustrating experience. A lot of it can be mitigated with experience, I guess, but sometimes I'd just be watching helplessly (with two personals up) as I was trying to keep myself alive.

Stage 2:
I found this stage super simple.

Encounter 1:
Transcendence in the center of the initial room to further slow eyes. The rotation was painfully simple:
1. Crackling Jade Lightning.
2. Ensure full health.
3. CJL until one eye dies.
4. Top myself off.
5. Goto 1.

Encounter 2:
Zap a Fel Bat Pup to get the whole group into your room. Keep CJL up for a full duration. Then Chi Burst, stun, Spinning Crane Kick until the bats are dead/low. Then pop them off. The felguard by itself is a joke. Renewing Mists is more than enough to keep you alive through it.

Encounter 3:
(At this point, I'll have 10-12 mists ready)
Detox the panicking mob.
Enveloping Mists + Mists of Sheilun on the lowest mob.
2 x Enveloping Mists + Vivify/minors for the top two.

The archer is also very simple, but DO respect its damage output. Keep a hot up at all times and cast Enveloping Mists when prudent. CC at every change. Diminishing returns should not be an issue.

Encounter 4:
Almost as with room 1. Transcendence in the center, roll out to the side. Kill the eyes as for encounter 1, and the inquisitor as the felguard for encounter 2. Very low damage output.

Stage 3:
The most frustrating part of this stage was the feeling of helplessness when your party members get around 40%. They just seem impossible to heal up at that point.
Another important point: If you can't heal up 8 in 3 waves, restart. To me, it was basically a lost cause.

I found that the ranged party member would generally take much less damage than the two others. I'd keep renewing mist up on the others (being able to snap an addition 6/7 seconds on their respective HoTs each time) and heal as needed. I found that as long as they started a wave with full health, I didn't really need to focus them.

This is how I planned out my waves. Depending on your gear or feel for your rotation, you might consider how you would put it together.
Wave 1:
Thunder Focus Tea, 2 x Enveloping Mist and Vivify to get TWO NPCs to full. I'd let the mage through, felt they were easier to deal with solo.

Wave 2:
Pop Chi-Ji early and Revival when the wave spawns. I found that 2 x Enveloping Mists and Vivify was enough. You might want to pop Life Cocoon on the third mob, here.

Wave 3:
Thunder Focus Tea is back off CD. Repeat as for Wave 1 but burn to get the third mob healed, as well.

Net result: hardly any mana, but lots of time to drink before the mage activates.

Stage 4:
As I said, the worst part about this challenge is how punishing it is. You don't get to practice the latter parts without first grinding through the first parts each time. After about five attempts I saw a pattern I could use. My biggest problem was being killed outright at the second leap / first bomb. I noticed that he would jump almost to coincide with the bomb, so on the FIRST bomb, I would not stay at very low health..

Pop drums, ensure everyone is at full health.
The first bomb is hands-down the hardest one to deal with, because it seems to fall very close with a leap. For me, I stayed around 3M health and rolled out fast after he landed. I'd be around 1M and cause very little damage to the party. Heal myself up above 50% and the rest of the party fully. Once there's less than 5 seconds left on the bomb (and the boss HAS leapt), I'd tick myself down to 1/2M health. Repeat.

I honestly thought my area control was better than Peachpies' (studying their video in preparation), but I ended up running out of room at the 20% mark. Maybe if I'd damage more I'd have been ahead, but I ended up lying dead on the floor watching the rest of the fight play out.

I hope an alternative view may help someone :-) Good luck!

904 resto druid, completed yesterday utilizing strategies compiled from all of the great tips/tricks provided in the comments.

I won't offer any more direct strategy advice (I don't think there is much more that can be said in that regard) but I wanted to say that because of how tightly tuned this scenario is, you have to be willing to put in multiple attempts without getting frustrated. No one likes failing or "wasting" time but in the end, while skill is necessary (and some gear), you really need to have the stage mechanics memorized and answers to those mechanics bordering on muscle memory.

This is definitely an exercise in patience and persistence. If you put in the time and make an effort to improve on each stage, you will win.

End of the Risen Threat:
I was a 907 druid.
Consumables: Potion of Prolonged Power, Drums of the Mountain, Flask of the Whispered Pact, Defiled Augment Runes, 375 Food, I picked Azshari Salad for more Haste though Mastery is also good.
Legendaries: The Dark Titan's Advice & Velen's Future Sight.

Stage 1:
Talents: 1/2/3/1 or 3/3/3/3
Wave 1: Archer
Wave 2: Mage, Archer
Wave 3: Mage, Solider
Wave 4: Mage, 2 x Solider
Wave 5: Mage, Archer, Soldier

Wave 1: The Archer will fire a few shots around the group that hurt, it will also cast Mana Sting on you after a five second cast time, when this happens put Jarod and between yourself and the Archer before the cast ends so the effect hits him and put Lifebloom, Rejuv/Germ and Ironbark (if possible) on Jarod. When the dot ticks a couple of times cast a Regrowth and get ready to refresh Lifebloom.

Rejuv/Germ and Wild Growth should be enough to keep the rest of the NPCs up. A bit of DPS in this wave helps speed it up if you feel comfortable.

Wave 2: Be aware of the Archer and Mana Sting but also pay attention to the Mage. The Mage will chain cast Arcane Blitz which grants a stacking buff that increases the damage of Arcane Blitz by 50%, these be stunned or pushed away when it has three or four stacks of the buff otherwise they will start one shotting the group. Start getting Rejuvs and Germinations out toward the end of this phase.

Wave 3: One Mage and One Soldier. The adds will focus down the Mage first so do the same as before. The Soldier will switch beween melee attacks, Knive Dance, the same abilily as in Black Rook Hold, and focusing a party member, usually you, and gaining a movement speed and attack speed increase.

I kept Lifebloom on myself during this phase as the Soldier hurt me the most. Rejuvs and Germinations should get through the Knive Dance but also use Wild Growth as needed. Use Barkskin or Ironbark when the Soldier focuses you and jump into Bear Form and use Frenzied Regen if you start getting low. Keep the Rejuvs and Germinations up towards the end of the this wave.

Wave 4: The Mage will die first, the Soliders will try their best to AoE the group down. Ensure Rejuvs and Germinations are out and Lifebloom is maintained on yourself. Use Wild Growth to get through dual Knive Dances.

You can use Cyclone when the Mage has 3 stacks here to also break the two Knive Dances, though this can lead to the Mage getting 5 stacks later so be ready to Moonfire/Sunfire the Mage. If using the stun, stun at four stacks. Keep Rejuvs/Germs up at the end of the phase. You should be around 50 ~ 60% mana at the end.

Wave 5: Pop your Prolonged at the start and put Efflo down immedaiately, transfer Lifebloom to Jarod, ensure rejuvs/germs are out, use Wild Growth and Essence to get maximum AoE heals out, be ready to hide from Mana Sting and be ready to push/stun the Mage. Use Ironbark on Jarod when he soaks Mana Sting. When the Soldier focuses you, use Barkskin and be ready to jump to Bear. Try to keep all your HoTs out in this page and use Tranquility and Drums if you want, as soon as this wave is down you get an indefinite rest period until you decide to move on.

Stage 2:
Once all the waves have been cleared, take time to regain mana and wait for cooldowns, the scenario will only progress when you enter the room with the NPCs.

Stage 3: Same talent choice as before.
The NPCs will be taken and you have five minutes to rescue them. The first room contains six Flickering Eyes. Stay away as they deal a huge damage tick when you get close to them. Maintain Lifebloom and Rejuv/Germ whilst you use kill the eyes one at a time. Top yourself off after you kill each one.

When the last one dies the gate will open, stay in the room and keep Lifebloom up, cast Moonfire on the Dominator and the Fel Bat Pups, when they get into melee you with, refresh Lifebloom, cast Sunfire, jump to Bear and stack Thrash to three. When the bats die, jump out of Bear, move to the gate beyond the room and Solar Wrath the Dominator down. Stay away from the fel orbs in the room beyond, they deal a lot of damage very quickly but will die to any hit. When all the adds die, open the gate and select on the feared add in the room beyond. Stay away from the add at the top of the stairs until you have healed all the NPCs nearby.

As soon as the gate drops, cast Nature's Cure to remove the fear, target the closest kneeling add and cast Lifebloom, Rejuv/Germ the other two, Wild Growth/Essence combo yourself, Rejuv/Germ the remaining add and cycle between healing all three until they're all topped up. If you fail to heal them they will turn into an add that you must kill. If any of these die, you probably won't make the timer.

Once the three adds are healed, kill the Archer. Keep Lifebloom up at all times and push/stun the first Mana Sting and then use the NPCs to absorb the next Mana Stings. Open the gate when the Archer dies and use Sunfire to clear through the orbs. Keep Lifebloom active and open the gate at the top of the stairs. Focus each Flickering Eye down and push/stun the Inquistor to interrupt Mind Wrack. Keep yourself topped up and use a Prolonged Power for extra healing and stamina.

Stage 4:
Drink up and wait for cooldowns again, change talents to 1/2/3/3/2/3/3 and open the gate when you're ready.

Stage 5:
The boss will cause the party to attack each other before stepping to the middle of the room, putting a shield on himself and dragging adds from the side towards him. You must keep the group alive and heal eight of these adds to end the phase, with the phase ending immediately as soon as you heal the eigth add to maximum. Try to get all three adds in the first two waves but don't worry if you only get two from either. The third wave has the best chance to get all three.

I split my cooldowns into three groups, using Prolonged Power and Tree of Life on the first wave, then Wild Growth/Essence/Flourish combo on the second wave and Velen's Future Sight and Tranquility on the third wave. I usually managed to get two adds from the first wave, two from the second, the entire third wave and then one from the fourth wave but on some attempts managed to get all three from each wave.

Stage Six:
Once the eigth add is healed, be ready to drink. The boss will RP a little and then summon a corrupted version of each add you failed to heal to full, they have the same abilities as the first phase but with significantly less health. Use the same tactics are before to defeat these.

It is worth noting that only one Archer will cast Mana Sting at a time, but both will pepper the group with AoE. A few second after the last add dies, the boss drops his shield and attacks. Get to the outer edge of the room and be ready to rotate around.

Final Stage
The boss will use two abilities, a jump and AoE fire patch that ticks for a lot every second and an eight second debuff that deals the amount of health the target has as damage to each NPC when it expires. The boss will always jump and apply the debuff to you if you are alive. The NPCs are not affected by the fire patches.

Try to have around three million health when he jumps and one million when the debuff expires. Use your cooldowns as they come off and use the Drums again, the NPCs will get the buff even if you don't. If the boss gets to less than 15% and you die, DO NOT RELEASE, if Jarod has a lot of health when you die, it is possible for the adds to kil

Commentaire de DeferFM

As a 898 resto druid I found surprising talents useful!
Affinité farouche's movement speed helps you run out of fire zones on the boss fight before the second damage tick. This halves the amount of damage you take!
Floraison printanière is a big help keeping Jarod, Callie and Granny alive while you heal ghosts in phase 5. You won't have time to cast two Récupérations on ghosts, so the loss of Germination is no problem.

For healing the ghosts in phase 5, I used:
Wave 1: Tambours de la montagne + 3x Récupération + Croissance sauvage + 3x Rétablissement
Wave 2: Essence de G’Hanir + 3x Récupération + Croissance sauvage + 3x Rétablissement
Wave 3: Innervation + Croissance sauvage + Tranquillité

The order is important: with Culture, Récupération puts two hots on a low-health target. Croissance sauvage and Rétablissement profit enormously due to our Maîtrise : Harmonie. Target Croissance sauvage on yourself so it applies to all 3 ghosts. It took me some time to memorize the sequence, but when I had, no more ghosts reached the boss.

Invaluable tips from other posts or videos:
Phase 1: Set your grid/vuhdo so that you can see who gets debuffed by Mana Sting-- it sometimes hits Callie instead of Jarod
Phase 1 wave 4: Choc martial the two soldiers' Knife Dance, then tank their Enrage in Bear form
Phase 1 wave 5: Use Vortex d’Ursol on the archer, it negates the first mana sting
Phase 3: in the hallway you can hide behind a healed ghost when the Arbalest casts Mana Sting
Phase 3: Éclat solaire disables multiple Fel Orbs
Phase 5 boss: Keep Éclat lunaire on the boss
Phase 5: if you die, your party will fight on, and the party can still complete the quest! It helps if you have hots ticking on Jarod

To help target the ghosts for healing, set the interface option "Show Friendly Nameplates" (SHIFT-V) to on. I ran

/run SetCVar("nameplateShowFriendlyNPCs",1)
to make friendly nameplates always visible.

Unverified tips:
Phase 1: Someone said you could use the Honor Talent Cyclone for extra CC
Phase 5: Someone said you could stun the boss.

Race: Night Elf - Used Shadowmeld to drop combat for potions

Consumables:

o On Use: Potions of Prolonged Power, Drums, and Healthstones (from Proving Grounds)

o WeakAuras: Track all my cooldowns.
o Outfitter + Chocolate Bar: Saved Outfits for each of the Stages so I could switch between them on Chocolate Bar.

STAGE 1: Legendaries: Prydaz & X’anshi

NPCs:
o Jarod Shadowsong: Useless "tank" (I use the term lightly) that doesn't use cooldowns or interrupts.
o Granny Marl: You may remember her as the Pistol-Packing Deadshot from Bradensbrook that you marked birds for her to shoot. Seems she can't do anything without that. Never stands where she is supposed to. Worst NPC ever.
o Callie Carrington: Granny's grandaughter. Like Jarod and her grandmother, she also doesn't have an interrupt button.
o In typical pug-group fashion, you'll have to do everything yourself.

Mobs:
o Archer: Deals pretty heavy damage with Deadly Shot, but the real danger with this type of mob is it’s Mana Sting ability: It’s a channeled ability that will draw a blue arrow from the Archer towards you. It leaves a pretty nasty DoT on whoever it hits, but if it hits you, it drains 375% of your mana every second. As a holy priest it’s imperative to use shackle undead on them to prevent this or stand behind one of the NPCs (preferably Jarod) to let them get hit by it. If they do get hit by it, make sure to have heals going on them until the DoT fades. You don't have to be facing the target to cast Shackle Undead on it, which is nice.
o Mage: Casts Arcane Blitz that gives him a stacking buff that increases the damage he does. Want to make sure to Chastise/Stun him around 3 stacks so the buff fades off him. If he gets too many stacks he’ll one-shot people. In a pinch it can be dispelled a stack at a time, but I felt this was unneeded and a waste of mana . Don’t use Shackle Undead on the Mage because it will cause the NPCs to change their target, and you want the Mage to die as quickly as possible.
o Warrior: Has 2 abilities it cycles from 1) Knife Dance: does a bunch of AoE damage to everyone and 2) Frenzied Assault: enrages and fixates on a target dealing a lot of damage. I found it useful to Life Grip Granny when I wasn’t able to CC during Knife Dance so I could have her in range to use Sanctify on everyone (it also has the benefit of healing her thanks to Trust in the Light).

P1: Once Granny says “Let’s be about it Elf”, pre-pot. 1 Archer
o DPS him as much as possible while throwing Renews on people. Stun him for his first Mana Sting, then Smite to reduce the cooldown of Chastise. Shackle Undead him for the other Mana Stings.

P2:1 Mage, 1 Archer
o Immediately shackle the Archer and DPS the mage. When he gets to 3 stacks, stun him and reshackle the Archer. DPS the mage as much as possible while shackling the Archer. When Mage is done, can stun the Archer during Mana Sting since Shackle Undead has diminishing returns. Be sure to try to get the cooldown on Chastise as low as possible before the next stage.

P3:1 Mage, 1 Warrior
o DPS Mage until Warrior starts to cast Knife Dance. Shackle him then stun the Mage and DPS him down some more. When the Warrior fixates on you, cast Renew on yourself to activate Perseverance and watch your health. Every time the Warrior casts Knife Dance, shackle/stun him, if possible. I Shadowmelded towards the end of this phase and used a Potion.

P4: Very difficult wave.1 Mage, 2 Warriors
o Keep everyone healed while DPSing the Mage until the Warriors star casting Knife Dance. Shackle one of them, then stun the mage, throw Renew on yourself and use Divine Hymn (make sure to cast Prayer of Mending + Use a Holy Word to get the most out of it). The Mage should die during this and you’ll only have the 2 Warriors to worry about. Keep whichever one has more health shackled each time it casts Knife Dance, then continue to Shackle the last Warrior when he does Knife Dance until they are both dead. Don’t forget you can grip Granny for Sanctify.
o Note: You can get unlucky and have both Warriors Fixate on you at the same time, so be sure to watch for this because you will need extra healing on yourself. This is the phase where I used my Healthstone. Also remember that Desperate Prayer is your friend, and don’t forget about Perseverance!

P5: I found this to be the hardest wave.1 Mage, 1 Archer, 1 Warrior
o Immediately Shackle the Archer, then pop a Potion of Prolonged Power, Drums, and Apotheosis. Stun the mage and pump as much DPS into him as possible. Alternate between Shackling the Archer and the Warrior (when he does Knife Dance). This is the phase where I used Guardian Spirit.

STAGE 3: Have 5 minutes to complete it. Legendaries: Prydaz & Muze’s

P1: Eyeballs inflict a lot of damage when they die, so you’ll want to focus them down one at a time and heal up in between.

P2: This room has some green orbs in it that you’ll want to Holy Nova so that they can’t lock you out of Holy spells. Continue using Holy Nova until all the bats are dead, then kill the Felguard while Holy Novaing to keep the orbs neutralized.

P3: Target feared NPC. Open gate, then Dispel him. Pop Apotheosis and heal up the 3 injured NPCs before you attack the Archer. Handle the Archer the same way you did in Stage 1.

P4: Holy Nova your way through green orbs to the top of the stairs. Pull Inquisitor and burn him on the stairs. Use Holy Nova to keep the orbs neutralized, and avoid the eye beams he spawns. After he’s dead kill the eyeballs one at a time to finish stage.

STAGE 5: You’ll have to heal waves of friendly adds that go towards the boss while keeping your allies alive. Any spirit that makes it to the boss without being healed will come back in the next stage as an unfriendly add that will have to be dealt with. Legendaries: Muze’s and Velen’s

P1: Apotheosis + Potion + Drums
P2: Prayer of Mending + Velen’s + Divine Hymn. Finish up with Sanctify when they get close
P3: Light of T’uure + Serenity on one, Light + Flash Heal on another
P4: Flash Heal them up

STAGE 6: Limited amount of time to drink/switch gear. Legendaries: Prydaz & X’anshi
Focus any adds that may not have gotten healed (I had a Warrior and a Mage spawn. Shackled the Warrior when he did Knife dance and Stunned the Mage when he got 3 stacks of buff).

STAGE 7:
You want to make sure you stay on the very edges of the room because the boss will charge you and leave large green fel puddles on the ground. Try to overlap these as much as possible to preserve the amount of space you have to run. Take damage to ~50% health when you have Ignite Soul. I used Serenity after each Ignite Soul. DPS Boss (he's stunnable) Use Apotheosis if it's up.

After that you’re DONE! Take

Commentaire de Torre11

Did it as a 892 ilvl Holy Paladin. My talents were Light's hammer(by accident. Usually used Bestow Faith), Cavalier, Repentance(which I believe is a must), Devotion Aura, Holy Avenger, Sanctified Wrath and Beacon of Faith. My legendaries were Chain of Thrayn and the Obsidian Stone Spaulders. Also, I didn't have my set bonus which would be VERY helpful, if you have it, use it! Especially when healing the ghost on 2nd to last phase. http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/outland/Torre/achievement#15275:15256:a11611

Phase 1, waves of adds
There's 5 waves of adds coming, consisting of Archer, mage and a warrior/rogue.
The mage will cast Arcane Blitz which will stack, you want to stun him at roughly 50% health, his last 2 casts before you stun him will hurt quite a bit, I watched which member he was targeting and was prepared to heal that target instantly, if he was me, I popped damage reduction.
The archer will attack random party members for a moderate amount and will cast Mana string on you, VERY important to repentance his cast, it takes 5 seconds so you have time to run to him if you're out of range, if your repentance is on CD, make sure you have a party member between him and you. In worst case scenario, you can bubble it without recieving the debuff which will drain your mana and most likely make you fail this phase.
The warrior will cast Knife Dance which deals AoE damage and cast fixate which will make them fixate(duh) on 1 member, usually you in which case I used divine steed and popped Bestow Faith when I didn't forget to pick it and healed with Light of the Martyr since I needed to run. If they fixate on someone else I usually used BoP on that member.
Here I used a focus repentance macro for the archer or the warrior if the wave consisted of no archer(wave 3 and 4) when they casted their abilities Mana String and Knife Dance, never on fixate and a mouseover Hammer of Justice macro for the mage, again at about 50% health.
All waves are fairly easy except wave 4 and 5 which are a bit harder. I usually only used Tyr's delivarance on wave 4 a when the 2 warriors starts casting Knife Dance and saved Repentance for when they used Knife Dance next, this should make it fairly simple. Then I used all remaining cooldowns on wave 5, which I found the most difficult. Just remember to pop all cds here, don't be greedy! There's literally no point in saving it since you can wait before next phase.

Phase 2, Killing stuff, YAY!
You will have 6 minutes to clear 5 "rooms"
First room consists of 6 eyes which deal a BIG amount of damage when they die. I popped Tyr's deliverance, Avenging Wrath instantly and killed 2 eyes fast, then I popped Divine protection and proceeded in killing eyes. This room is extremely easy for Paladins. Just make sure you have full or near full health before killing 1 of the eyes. Popping Tyr's deliverance and killing the eyes fast will save you a LOT of time and should make the time no problem at all.

Second room will have a felguard and 2 bats and 2 Fel Orbs. I just used consecration to clear the fel orbs then I killed the bats first and then the big guy, very easy room.

Third room more of a stairway consists of 4 ghosts and a Archer(same as Phase 1) at the top of the stairs. You need to dispel 1 ghost(the 1 running around) and heal the remaining 3 to full health. Here I targeted the ghost that needs to be dispelled before opening the gate and dispelled him instantly, then I placed my 2 beacons on 2 of the ghosts and healed the third to full, then I simply healed the remaining 2 which will be close to full health thanks to the beacons. All that remains after that is killing the archer. Just attack as normal and when he casts his Mana string, use repentance on it, continue dpsing and on the next cast use Hammer of Justice. If he's not dead after that you will have repentance up for the next mana string.

Fourth room will consist of a bunch of Fel orbs, same as the one in the second room. Here my accidental pick of Light's hammer worked wonders, cleared it all instantly. Otherwise take your time, attack them before running trough them, consecration is very useful if you find yourself surrounded.

Fifth and final room will consist of one Dread Corrupter and three more eyes, same as in the first room. I had every cooldown up here so I just used Bubble and killed it all during the bubble, do the same if you have everything up. If you don't have cooldowns, you should atleast have bubble, pop it and kill the Dread Corrupter first, then proceed to carefully kill the eyes.
After clearing that room you will have time to wait for cooldowns and drink up if needed.

More healing :(
This phase is probably the hardest one. You saved your party members so they are back! But unfortunately they are only making it harder for you. Instead they will attack eachother. Shadowsong will swap between attacking Granny and Callie so put 1 Beacon on him and let it stay there, put the other on Callie who he will attack first. Then put the beacon you had on Callie on Granny when he starts attacking her instead. I stood on top of them so they had the benefit from my Devotion Aura. Now to the ghost part. A dude called Erdris will stand in the middle of the room and 3 ghost will approach him from 3 different directions. You need to heal 8 of them and if 1 of your party members dies you lose so keep an eye on them too.
On the first wave of ghosts I popped Potion of Prolonged power and Avenging Wrath, nothing more. That wave was fairly easy because wings are so strong. On the 2nd wave I popped Tyr's deliverance just before the ghosts are healable, this won't benefit the ghosts but will make it easier to keep your party members alive. Then I proceeded to pop Holy Avenger. I only manage to get 2 here but no worries. On wave 3 I popped Lay on hands then I just healed another one. Again, I only managed to get 2 here which means I needed 1 more which I got easily on the next wave. That means 2 adds survived, I didn't target specific ghosts but I got a mage and an archer which will be exactly the same as in wave 2 on phase 1. After this you get a short period where you can drink to full mana, no cooldowns this time though.

Homestretch boys!
Now you get to kill the dude who's been standing in the middle. He will just do 2 different things. If you have done Nightbane you will be familiar with his mechanics. He will jump on your head and place a big fel pool where you stood so position yourself correctly. I started just left of the entrance to the room, hugging the wall. Then I just moved around the room next to the wall until I reched right side of the entrance, then 1 in the middle and lastly I put 1 just at the entrance. The other ability he has will place a 9(possibly 8) second debuff on you. When the debuff reaches 0 you deal your remaining health in damage to your party, I tried to stay at about 30% and kept everyone else topped. This phase is fairly simple compared to the rest but the things I found very helpful here is to move before he lands you which will result in you only taking damage once and try to have Holy Shock up when he jumps so you can use it if you were to take more damage than intended from the fel pool since you obviously can't cast while standing in it. Another little trick is that bubble stops him from jumpin on you, feel free to use it after the debuff ends to create more space without fel pools.

Part 1 of 2 Holy Paladin

Hey guys, completed the Holy Paladin challenge about two weeks back and it took forever for me to get around to writing a guide. I’ve tried to add as much detail as possible so it makes it easier for you to get around the idiocy that is this challenge!

Equipment

First things first, I was 902 ilevel equip when I completed this challenge and I’m not certain how feasible it would be to attempt this when your gear is below 895.
For Legendaries, I used the shoulders along with the belt as I believe they are the best pieces to use for this challenge along with the 4 set from Nighthold heroic for infusion of light x2.

Talents
Bestow Faith: Only viable talent as the damage coming out makes crusader’s might kinda wonky.
Unbreakable Spirit: Personally I just used it so that the wait between phases would be shorter.
Repentence: Can’t do the challenge without it IMO
Devotion Aura: Best aura to have as the passive damage decrease helps a lot on the NPCs
Holy Avenger: Need that extra haste and healing especially for the last phase!
Beacon of faith: 2x Beacons for your crummy party :(

Consumables
Drums of War, Potion of Prolonged Power, Ancient Mana Potion, INT Flask , Crit Food.

Stage 1 – Wave 1 : Archer
Beacons on Jarod and the Granny, the logic being that since I used to be in melee range most of the time, I needed extra healing on both these NPCs as Jarod was the one taking most of the hits from the archer.

So basically the goal here is to get as much dps on this mob as you possible can without allowing it to dish out too much damage. When he blinks for the very first time, get a repentance in to interrupt the cast. This will save you quite a bit of mana and even out the damage that the NPC (probably Jarod) will be taking. The CD won’t be off when the archer blinks again so you would have to heal this time but depending on the remaining HP of the mob, it is a situational call whether you would need to repentance the third mana draining arrow.

For me personally, if the mob was too low, I would avoid using repentance as I wanted it ready for wave no.2
No CDS required in this phase.

Stage 1 – Wave 2 : Mage + Archer
Repentance the archer straight away and get some damage on the mage. When he gets 2x stacks, that’s when you drop the hammer of justice (although its entirely up to you if you want to drop it on him straight away). Continue damaging the mage but be careful of the archer as the repentance would probably have come off by the time the hammer wears off. Let an NPC soak the arrow that comes right after repentance and try to CC the archer again. Use arcane torrent when the mage hits 2x or 3x stacks again to drop his buff. When the mage is dead, continue using repentance for interrupting the archer’s arrow until its too low and wave 3 is about to begin.
CD Usage: Divine Protection, Tyr’s Hand if need be along with devotion aura (situational).

Stage 1 – Wave 3: Mage + Warrior (or rogue)
CC the Warrior/Rogue straight away or you can wait for him to fixate you/use fan of knives. At 3x stacks drop the hammer on the mage. I continued ccing the warrior but would just soak the fixate damage. You can use cavalier to run away but honestly, if the npcs are not hitting the warrior/rogue, he won’t have daze so he will eventually catch up to you. I refrained from doing too much damage this phase as the fan of knives can become a pain in the ass.
CD Usage: Holy Avenger and Divine Protection

Stage 1 – Wave 4 : Mage + 2x Warrior (or Rogue)
This phase can get a little dicey. Initially you want to mark one of the warriors and repentance that particular warrior. Use the hammer on the mage right after and use Avenging Wrath along with holy avenger to ease out the healing as much as possible( one after the other or together depending on whatever is feasible). Once the marked warrior can no longer be CC’d (usually after 2x repentance) start cc’ing the non marked warrior. Kite the warriors that fixate you (assuming the NPCs are damaging it) and use repentance to interrupt the fan of knives.

The primary thing you need to watch out for in this phase is that the NPCs have a terrible habit of switching between both warriors (once the mage is dead) since you’ve CC’d them both during this phase. So in order to make sure that they continue hitting their primary target, keep throwing out repentance on the warrior not being attacked from the get go
CD Usage: Avenging Wrath + Holy Avenger + Divine Protection

Stage 1 – Wave 5 : Mage + Warrior + Archer
The last wave and the hardest one IMO. Start be using repentance on the archer and stunning the mage. Once the hammer wears off, use arcane torrent to interrupt the mage again. When the archer comes out of repentance and starts casting its arrow, I purposely make sure that I’m far away from any of the NPCs and use divine shield so that it wastes a cast for her. After that I repentance her again. Use DEVO aura right after divine shield and Tyr’s Hand and any of the cds that keep coming off cd. Once the Archer can no longer be repentanced, make sure you start ccin’g the warrior (the mage should be dead around this time). You’re going to encounter the same issue with this phase that the NPCs might switch half way between the warrior and the archer and the priority is to get the archer down asap as her arrow is a massive pain to deal with. Use hammer of justice if it comes off CD and you can even use drums at the beginning of this phase to get over with this wave as soon as possible.
CD usage : Avenging Wrath + Holy Avenger + Tyr’s Hand + Lays on Hand + Divine Shield + Devotion Aura (if not used in the previous waves)

Once stage 1 ends, wait for your cds to get back up and then run ahead to start stage 2. Do remember that since your party is so bad, you may need more than 1 attempt to get the hang of stage 1.

PART 2 OF 2 - Holy Paladin

Stage 2 – Room 1 : 6x Eyes

Just kill each eye one at a time (starting clock or anti clock wise so you can move around the room) and heal up after every mob as there is literally no point for you to risk having to go through stage 1 again.

Stage 2 – Room 2 : 1 Felguard along with 3x Bats
Before you move into Room 2, cast Tyr’s hand and then use cavalier to run to the gate on the left side (entrance to room 3) so that the moving orb doesn’t bother you. Kill the bats off asap and then just finish off the felguard. Heal up before you open the gate for room no3.

Stage 2 Room 3: 1x Archer
So before you open the gate, you will notice an NPC running around feared whilst 3 friendly NPCs with low health are on the side of the stairs leading to room no 4. Keep the feared NPC targeted while opening the gate and dispel him asap. Use Avenging Wrath/Holy Avenger and heal up the 3 NPCs asap. To make this room 100%, use lays on hand on the first mob that needs to be healed and blow all your cds (while not required) to heal the remaining two npcs. After that engage the archer on the top.

Once the archer blinks away the first time, just use repentance to interrupt the arrow or use hammer of justice. You probably wouldn’t have to interrupt it more than once but use hammer or repentance (depending on what you cast the first time) to interrupt it a second time.

Once the archer is dead, open the gate. Use Divine Shield and cavalier and run through the orbs in Room no.4 right into the gate and open it up to get into the final room.

Over here, the only thing you need to be careful of is not to kill any of the eyes while you’re trying to kill the demon . Once the demon dies, just kill one eye at a time (again starting clock or anti clock wise).
After this , rest, wait for your cds to come up, calm your nerves, pray, swear and hope that RNG and holy shock crits are on your side for stage 3

STAGE 3 – NO HOLY LIGHTS ALLOWED !
Go on I DARE YA! Casting Holy Light feels like an eternity during this phase. Blood of the Martyr, Holy shock and FOL are your only options.

So when you’re ready to begin, keep your beacons up on both the granny and Jarod (personal preference). When the RP begins, use your potion of prolonged power when the Boss says something like “I delight in the irony” and use bestow faith on Jarod roughly 7 seconds afterwards.

It is absolutely critical IMO to heal up 3x mobs in wave 1 and wave2. So as soon as the Boss starts his channeling, POP drums. Remember you can’t heal the NPC spirits straight away so focus on your party. The moment you can (when the spirits enter the arena circle as opposed to being on the stands), use LOH on one of the mobs and pop holy avenger and start healing the remaining NPCs. If you feel you are unable to or its getting too close, use avenging wrath for the third mob since AW will probably be up for atleast two mobs in wave x2 .

The beauty of having 4 Set from NH is that 2x infusion of Light is just a life saver. Have weakaurus to show you when you have infusion of light up if need be. Pop Devotion aura so that Jarod and co don’t wreck themselves. What I did was go stand on top of the boss, use LOH on the mob to the right and move a little bit to the left so the mob can benefit from my mastery.

If potion of prolonged power is off cd, use it again and just heal the NPCs up. Between wave 1 and wave 2. Use Tyr’s Hand. Drop Blessing of Protection on any Member of Jarod’s group which gets to 60%. Remember that no NPC should drop below 50% because the damage is so sketchy, the party members tend to go from 50 to 0 under 2 seconds.

I mean this phase is so RNG dependent, sometimes using a single holy shock would heal up 1 entire NPC due to the amount of CDs being up or 2x infusion of light FOL Crits would be enough. If you get every mob during wave 1 and 2, just keep your nerves calm since you’re almost home.

For wave 3, what I did was use holy shcok on Jarod and co and use infusion of light to heal a NPC (prioritized the archer as the mage warrior are the easiest combo to handle).
And then repeat this process for wave 4 using whatever CDs you have left (which are probably 0) to keep Jarod and his party stay alive.

I mean the CD usage is just a guideline/preference, I failed once terribly but had so much RNG on my side that I healed 2x mobs the first wave, 3x the next, 2x for wave 3 and 1x for the last wave (all the while keeping the party topped off) thanks to nothing but healing crits.

Last stage. Repentance the warrior and go ham on the mage (hammer of wrath/arcane torrent to interrupt) and when both mobs go down, you will engage the boss. If you are familiar with BRH and by now you should be, position yourself on the leftside to the entrance of the room (not the immediate entrance but the circle closer to the boss) and go counter clockwise. You need to do a bit of damage to the boss (I just kept judging with the occasional holy shock) as the room will probably be covered in FEL by the time the boss dies. I made sure that I was around 60% HP all the time so that I wouldn’t get caught guard by the boss’s leap/fel stomp damage. Once Avenging wrath is off cd, just top off your party and drop some holy shocks in there. Rinse and repeat using divine protection/shield if need be. Don’t ever drop too low for ignite soul as the boss melee damage is not scary at all and this is probably the only part of the encounter that you can just relax. When the boss has covered the entire room in the fel, move to the immediate entrance (at the door) and move to either the left side and switch to the right side. Make sure your party is topped off since they can finish off the boss even if you die!

I hope this helps and good luck!

Commentaire de Avarajihari

Just finished it as Restoration Druid. Since there are plenty of guides around here, I just wanted to point out a few things I found very useful.
Ilvl: 907
Legendaries: Vision future de Velen and Sagesse d'Aman'Thul.
Talents: 3/2/3/1/3/3/3
Note: I don't think I used Epanouissement even once. It's a bad talent choice. Also remember you're pretty much the best DPS in the party.

Stage 1:
Note: You have time to drink after this stage, don't save mana.
- When fighting second and last wave of mobs, drop Vortex d’Ursol on the Archer at the start. This will deny first sting they cast, letting you focus more on other things. Dont waste it on first wave since there is only one mob.
- Keep up your Éclat lunaire and Éclat solaire on your main target. Especially when bursting down the caster.
- Use Rossée puissante on the caster when he is casting 4th/5th blast.
- Keep up Récupération and Germination on all targets. Cast Croissance sauvage on CD. Have your Efflorescence up all the time. Top people with . If there is nothing to do, spam Colère.

Stage 2:
Note: This stage shouldn't be much of a problem.
- Keep up your Éclat lunaire and Éclat solaire on your main target.
- Spam Colère. Casually go Bear.
- Flickering Eyes explode for like 50% of you HP on death. Don't kill 2 of them in a row without topping yourself first.

Stage 3 (ghosts):
Note: I cannot add more to it than what was already said here in the comments. Proper Essence de G’Hanir and Tranquillité management is vital here.
- Aim for 3 waves of ghosts with only 1 not healed.
- If you are a Night Elf, you can Camouflage dans l'ombre -> drink before the boss during the role-play. Don't save your mana.

Stage 3 (boss):
Note: Research what boss' debuff actually does. I almost wiped to that.
- Keep up your Éclat lunaire and Éclat solaire on the boss.
- Keep up Récupération and Germination on the party members.

Good luck!

Commentaire de javlarmate

Just completed on my 906 Paladin. There is plenty of good information in this comment section already so I'll leave the tactics and theorycrafting at the door and just tell my short story.

In my opinion it's not so much a gear check as it is a trait-check, I did maybe 25-30 tries during the previous two times the mage tower was up on EU, with very similar gear, and I struggled quite a bit with just the first phase.

Then today I once again sat down, this time with 48 traits, loaded up on flasks, food, pots and a false sense of security.

Finished it after four tries.

Attempt 1: I was unable to heal up the "adds" on the fourth phase and got facerolled by 6-7 of them. I knew from videos what it would look like but I guess I was still just a bit frazzled that I'd gotten this far on the first attempt and paniced a bit.
Attempt 2: I also reached the fourth phase and it went better as far as the adds go but I actually failed to keep my partymembers healed and Jarod died.
Attempt 3: I got all the way to the final phase, about 50% on the boss but then I cocked up and left myself on too high health, killing one of my partymembers with the Ignite Soul.
Attempt 4: The stars aligned and I was able to finish it, with a twist. With the boss on 5% or so I once again got nervous and panicky, failed to keep myself at high enough health and the boss killed me. As I was cursing my idiocy I realize that the fight is still going and lo and behold, the NPC's managed to kill him! And it counted as a kill for the quest as well!

The moral of my story is: DON'T RELEASE!
Other tips include:
1. Wait for you cooldowns between phases.
2. Spread your cooldowns on the fourth phase (Avenging Wrath on first wave of adds, Holy Avenger and pot on the second wave, trinket and Lay on Hands on the third).

Commentaire de DarthSlider

Completed it as a 900 resto shammy, with roots and boots. First phase is really hard, spend everything to survive wave 4, also it's have an oportunity to drink mana porion then you first melee is dead.
Hero on wave 5, after mage is dead it became much easier. Do not kite melee on p5, just tank it and control mage. Then only archer left it's hard to die even without mana.
P1 takes me about 20-30 tries (10 or more was very stupid)
Phase 2 (running) is a joke, you don't even need to wait for hero for it. Roots completely trivialise it, dps trinkets are usefull, but they are not necessary.
P3 took me 3 tries, with second with wipe on 0,8%. I used legendary head. IMPORTANT: Roots make boss fight MUCH harder! It`s hard to be low on hp with it, it wiped me on first pull.
For waves just hero on 1st adds, healing tide on 2nd, ascendance on 3rd if you wish. You should heal just 2 adds on 3rd wave.
Also i used Royal Dagger Haft (tank trinket from anomaly) for boss fight, it helps a lot.

Little tips: hero doesn`t bebuff your party, so you can use drums at the start of boss fight. I think it's even possible to pop drums on wave 4 and hero on wave 5 on first phase.
My talants for p1 was 1-1-1-1-3-3-1, artifact level 42, for boss fight i swithed to Ancestral Protection totem to save me from stupid deaths.

Commentaire de flepser

If you don't have the best gear imaginable, have no fear, you can do it while below 895, or if you are lucky with some legendary drops like myself as a 890 Restoration Druid. Artifact level 42 was quite necessary for me at least.It was stressfull and quite depressing at times, but once I got the hang of the first Phase I didn't have too many trouble there whilst Phase 5 kept annoying me untill I finally got it right one time. An overview of my approach.

Talents
Protection cénarienne on the Hunter/Rogue most of the time as an extra buffer.
Transfert bestial I barely used it, but I'm pretty used to it, so I just kept it as a talent (Renewal might benefit you more eventually).
Affinité du gardien because less damage taken is awesome and Forme d'ours + Régénération frénétique when the warriors focus you is OP.
Rossée puissante to CC the Mage, usually stun him at 4 stacks which usually is the end of the Warriors and their Knife Party.
Culture because an extra HoT never hurts.
Germination because two Rejuvenations are better than one!
Écorcepierre because your DPS-members are paperbags.

Gearing
I swapped several item pieces around; for the first phases I used (all legendaries are 940);
Prydaz, chef-d'œuvre de Xavaric
Sagesse d'Aman'Thul
Devilsaur Shock-Baton (ilvl 840)

While for Phase 5 I swapped from Sagesse d'Aman'Thul to Essence d'infusion and a higher ilvl resto trinket. Then swapped back from Essence d'infusion to Prydaz, chef-d'œuvre de Xavaric for the (pre-)boss fight.
I always choose to have my 2p set bonus activated.

I buffed up as much as i could with Flacon du pacte murmuré, Potion de puissance prolongée, Rune d'amélioration profanée, Salade azshari and Tambours de la montagne

In Phase 1 I always stayed in melee range of the Mage and tried to DPS him as much as I could. When the Warriors ended their Knife Party they usually focused me, so that's where I went into Bear Form and used Frenzied Regeneration + Bash the Mage. I used Camouflage dans l'ombre during Wave 5 (two Warriors and one Mage) when the first Warrior died and the remaining one focuses on you, so I could fill up my mana bar. I also used Essence de G’Hanirand Drums at the start of Wave 6 (I managed a few times without, but it got a lot harder so why bother).

The DPS stages are pretty easy once you know how the mechanics work and I usually finished this with ~50 seconds spare. My Bloodlust debuff was not gone at this point, so it's a good time to relax yourself for Phase 5.

For Phase 5 wave 1: I made sure my Efflo is up a few seconds before the friendly NPC's are healable and my Red-Shirt-Startrek-Crew topped of with two Rejuvenations, focused member with Cenarion Ward and a Lifebloom. Then popped Drums, Potion of Prolonged Power and tried to cast the WG on at least one of the needed NPCS then hit EoG and barely managed to get all three.

Wave 2: I still had buffs from Bloodlust and the Potion of Prolonged Power and focused on two NPC's, I let the Warrior through, while keeping an extended eye on my crew, as they are paper sometimes. Usually I failed at this wave because one of my crew dies .

Wave 3: Tranquility saves all, this keeps the Crew alive as well and with the Essence of Infusion the spirits get topped up fairly easy. I missed one (luckily a hunter) because I didn't think it was necessary to heal the spirits, that was incorrect.

Wave 4: Only needed to heal one here, so I spammed the mage and the phase was over. I quickly changed items and drank deeply.

Boss fight was pretty straightforward, but I ran out of space to run, so I should've DPS'd him a bit more, but I was afraid my crew or I would die from damage so I focused more on that. In the end I died with the boss less then 5% remaining, but with all the HoTs still running on my people they stayed alive and the quest completed.

I guess I was lucky there, but it's definitely doable if you are lesser geared, but it's a pain and I'm glad I don't have to do that any more \o/.

Commentaire de BulmaBalls

Completed the challenge as a Resto Druid 910 item level. I used dark titan and tearstone of elune legendaries. The talents I went with are:
15: Prosperity
30: Displacer Beast
45: Guardian Affinity
60: Mighty Bash
75 Cultivation
90: Germination
100: Stonebark

Stage 1

Mark the adds so you can have an easy time to spot them and know if you are standing behind them for the mana shot from the archers.

Wave 1: 1 Archer. Very easy to deal with. I sunfire,moonfire the add and cast wrath. Healing here isn't really required until the Mana Shot comes. You can cancel the 1st mana shot if you drop Ursol's Vortex on top of the Archer. You will get another mana shot just make sure to hide behind the warrior.

Wave 2: 1 Archer 1 Mage. Make sure you have the mage on focus target or just pay attention to his stacks of arcane blast. You want to stun him around 3-4 stacks. The Archer will teleport and attempt to hit you with mana shot, hide behind the warrior.

Wave 3: 1 Mage 1 Warrior. This will be your 1st warrior add you encounter. It will give you a little feeling of how the damage will be from blade dance and the fixate. Make sure you still stun the Mage at 3-4 arcane blast stacks. During blade dance keep effloresence on the ground and make sure the npcs have double rejuvs and wild growth is nice here. Your mana will be around 60-70%, if you are not a night elf I recommend using innervate on Wave 4. But if you are a night elf a neat little trick I found for drinking is right after the mage dies and you only have the warrior add up, after he finishes casting blade dance you want to root him and shadow meld drink. If you do it right he will fixate on you but he won't be able to move and you get out of combat to drink for 10+seconds.

Wave 4: 1 Mage 2 Warriors. This is the toughest wave in my opinion. Depending on how well you can manage yourself I recommend using tranq during the 1st blade dance the 2 warrior adds will do. The Mage add still has to be bashed on this wave at 3-4 stacks of arcane blast. I highly recommend you get all the adds fully hotted and prepare for a ton of aoe damage. When the 2 warrior adds finish blade dance the fixates will happen. I generally found it pretty easy to just shift into bear form and hit frenzied regeneration, you don't waste mana and they basically heal to you full.

Wave 5: 1 Archer 1 Mage 1 Warrior. This wave has a medium difficulty. Make sure you have effloresence down at all times. Stun the mage at 3-4 stacks of arcane blast. Put down an ursol's vortex on top of the archer so you can cancel the 1st mana shot. The warrior add will fixate you, I recommend using your artifact weapon here and hotting everything up. Shortly after the blade dance or during it depending on the timing you will get your 1st mana shot. Make sure you are hiding behind one of the adds during this.

It's not so bad getting used to these adds, if you have any down time and can spare some globals I recommend moonfire + sunfire dots on the mage mainly. It took me about 10 attempts to figure out a solid routine to nail Stage 1. This in my opinion is one of the most annoying parts of the challenge.

Stage 2

Your companions will leave and you have a gauntlet to progress through on a 6 min timer.

1st Room : You will be surrounded by 6 eyes. Do not touch these eyes or they will basically 1 shot you. When these eyes die they will explode and do damage based on proximity (the further away you stand the less damage you take). So pick 1 eye to kill and then stand in the opening and kill the further eye. Don't kill more than 1 at a time or you will most likely die. The damage requirement for the gauntlet is very lenient.

1st Hallway After you kill these eyes the next room will have 2 fel orbs,3 felbats,and 1 fel lord. You can avoid the fel orb damage if you just stay in the room where you killed the eyes. Moonfire and sunfire the adds, and make sure to drop an ursol's vortex on the stairs. Will give you some more dps time and make it easier on you. The fel bats empower the fel lord, I didn't find this too challenging. The bats basically die by the time they get to you as long as you have sunfire,moonfire active on them. Stun the fel lord and just start casting wrath.

2nd Hallway Running to the gate you will be introduced to the fel orbs, they aren't worth killing. Very easy to avoid but if they do touch you they do about 20-30% of your hp in damage. Keep this in mind for later. Once you open the 1st gate there will be 4 npcs, 1 is feared and the other 3 are at 20%~. You want to stand at the base of the gate and dispel the add that is feared, if you don't it will auto fear you and just cause you pain. Quickly toss rejuvs on the 3 npcs and try to top them as quickly as possible. If they die they will become hostile and it's just going to set you behind. After you top the 3 npcs off you will be ready to pull the Archer at the top of the stairs. At 80% the Archer will use mana shot, I used ursol's vortex to cancel the 1st cast, and roughly around 40-50% the Archer will do another mana shot. You can either use Bash here or use the npcs you healed earlier to line the shot. If you use the npcs to soak the mana shot they just run away, you don't have to heal them again.

3rd Hallway This part is a bit tricky if you don't respect the orb damage, sometimes you get lucky with the rng of the orb placement and you can avoid taking any damage here. But mostly you will be soaking 1-2 orbs. Pop barkskin and ironbark if necessary and fully hot your self. Don't be afraid to blow all of your healing cds here to stay alive.

2nd Room: 1 Dread Corruptor and 3 Eyes. Kill eyes 1st and make sure to avoid the random laser eyes he spawns on the ground. Very easy if you watch your hp and don't kill all the eyes at the same time.

Stage 3
Phase 1: Your npcs will turn on each other. You still have to keep them up. I recommend keeping the adds hotted and effloresence on the ground 100% of the time. 3 npcs will spawn and start floating to the middle of the boss. You need to heal 8 to get past the 1st phase of this part. I recommend using pre-pots.drums of war,and your artifact weapon for the 1st 3. You quickly rejuv all 3 and then double swiftmend and spam regrowths on them. If you don't heal the 1st 3 to full you probably won't be able to do this challenge. Next 3 spawn shortly after, focus on healing only 2 here, you will let 1 get corrupted, you will fight the ones you couldn't heal later. On the 3rd wave of adds you will again focus on 2 adds and let 1 get corrupted. On the 4th set of adds spawning you have to heal you should be at 7/8 (if you healed 3 2 2 on the waves), so on the 4th wave focus on just healing 1 add. Here you will have time to drink. Then you will fight the 2 adds you let get corrupted, after you deal with the 2 adds the boss will start.

Phase 2: The healing here is very minimal. The main mechanic here is a debuff on you that explodes and does damage to your npcs based on your hp. Ideally you want to be 20-30% hp here, you will get this low by standing in the fel patches on the ground. After you explode the boss will jump on you and spawn a new fel puddle. It starts to get chaotic here, but keep in mind your main focus is making sure you don't kill your npcs and you don't die from fire. Try to space the fel patches so you have room to move around.

Good luck!

Commentaire de Terroklar2

As Nightelf you can drink with shadowmend (Stage 1). Just make sure there is only 1 Mob left of the current wave, the group is full hp and use shadowmend + drink right after they use their special ability (either manasting or fan of knives + fixate) or you will get interrupted quickly.

Commentaire de Rhinowarlord

I finished this a couple days ago, so now I feel obligated to write about it.

905IL Resto druid.

Important gear:
Nighthold 4 set
Edraith, liens d'Aglaya You could swap for any other legendary you prefer.
Vision future de Velen This basically carried me through Phase 5. More on that later.
Other trinket was 900IL Carte céleste d'Etraeus.
50 artifact traits, everything except concordance and the last rank of Graines de l’Arbre-Monde.

Flask, 375 haste food, augment rune.

Secrets:

Some hype music
Git gud
.

Phase 1:
Talents:
Abondance for those sweet, sweet 100% crit regrowths. Prospérité could also work, the lull between groups when you only have one guy left might let you stack two charges. CW sucks here. The damage is spiky, but random. If your ESP is good and you can perfectly predict who's getting hit by the next three deadeye shots and arcane blitzes (both random target, by the way), go for it.
Transfert bestial to avoid frenzied assault and get LoS on mana sting, etc. If you feel like you're fine for mobility, you could take Renouveau instead.
Affinité du gardien. Do not take the other ones. Guardian affinity will cheese/carry you through this whole thing.
Typhon is your best friend here. It interrupts the casters AND knife dance. Taking typhoon over mighty bash will save you from literally millions of damage.
Culture makes healing much easier, it auto applies a mastery stack whenever anyone goes under 60%. Thought-free triage healing. Great talent, everyone loves it. The damage doesn't spike high enough to make tree worth it. If you need tree of life to survive a group, you're probably undergeared. Cultivation gives a much better benefit and is relevant through the entire phase.
Germination, the premier small group healing talent. Take it, love it. If you need to tranq more than once to survive, you're probably undergeared. Floraison printanière also applies a mastery stack, like germ, but doesn't provide as much throughput. If you feel like spamming more regrowths, blossoms might work.
: 2 extra free regrowths, and they heal for +15%! Well, +30%, really, because they always crit now, because you took abundance. Epanouissement is also good (flourish is always good). Don't take stonebark. Again, the damage is spiky but random. Espers, go ahead.

Strategy:
- This phase is less of a healing challenge and is actually much more of a damage prevention challenge. It's the most complex, but not the hardest (That comes later!)
- That means you have to interrupt arcane blitz AND knife dance at the same time. This generally means interrupting blitz at 3-ish stacks if you're hitting both, but on phases with no soldiers, go for 4 stacks of blitz. Because typhoon isn't actually an interrupt or stun, and doesn't lock spellcasting, you have to interrupt WHILE the mage is casting. If you don't, he maintains his stacks, nuking you and The Second Worst Mythic+ Group Ever with 7+ stacks of blitz. Get as much of knife dance as possible, but don't stress over it. Blitz is more important.
- You're usually going to be stacked on/near melee: Getting someone between you and mana sting, benefiting from efflorescence, and being in range to typhoon mages and soldiers.
- Two stacks of rejuv on everyone. All the time.
- Moonfire/sunfire on mage at all times. This means he casts 1 or 2 fewer blitzes, which is a couple million damage over the whole phase. Again, this actually falls under "damage prevention."
- The damage in this phase is mostly random (archer/mage), so be ready to spam regrowth if someone eats a couple "random" arrows in a row.
- When the soldiers use frenzied assault, you have two options: root and run away, or turn into a bear and facetank, hitting frenzied regeneration as necessary. Use trash for more damage, because bears can't heal. If everyone's dying, you might just have to use barkskin/ironbark on yourself and heal through the tears.
- I had G'Hanir and Velen's macroed together. Use it after wild growth for tranquility-lite.

Phase 2:
Drink for mana, lie down on the floor.

Phase 3:
Talents:
Same as phase 1, mostly. Renewal's probably better than displacer here, seriously do not change bear affinity, mighty bash might be good for the archer, germ is inarguably better than blossoms here. Moment of cality's probably still best.

Strategy:
- You want 2x rejuv, lifebloom on you at all times.
- The eyes detonate on death, doing about 2M damage, and have an aura doing about 300k every second-ish to melee range. Put moonfire and sunfire on exactly two, and turn into a bear. Thrash/mangle the rest of the way on both, and when they die use frenzied regen to get all your 4M hp back in 5 seconds. Rinse/repeat for the other 4 eyes.
- Next room is 3 bats and a felguard. Sun/moonfire, bear form, thrash. I think wrath is faster when you're down to just the felguard. Moonfire the orbs so they don't melt you.
- Open the gate, dispel immediately, two rejuvs on each, spam regrowth to win. If they go to 0, they turn into soldiers, so be careful. Sun/moon on archer, spam wrath. When mana sting happens, get the ghosts to tank it. Spring blossoms doesn't have the throughput to keep you alive (easily), but germination will handily keep you up.
- Next room, moonfire the orbs so they don't melt you.
- Next room, take down the eyes one by one with the bear form/frenzied regen strat, then wrath spam the inquisitor.

Phase 4:
Drink for mana, try not to cry.

Phase 5:
Talents:
Abondance. There is no substitute. The ghosts come up too fast to get benefit from -3sec CD on swiftmend. They don't take damage, so CW is useless.
Second row doesn't matter.
Neither does third, but bear already carried you.
Fourth doesn't matter.
Incarnation : Arbre de vie. If you do not take tree of life you will cry tears of blood.
Germination. Tranq sucks here, efflorescence has too short a range.
, the hosts aren't up long enough for flourish to matter.

Strategy:
This is the hardest phase. You need sustained healing on the party, and burst on the ghosts, or they will attack you later, and turn you inside out if you let a few through.
- 2 stacks of rejuv on all of them. Lifebloom on whoever's dying. Efflorescence. The whole time.
- Prolonged power pot before the party starts infighting.
- First ghosts: 2 rejuv on all 3 ghosts, then pop drums/tree of life, WG, G'hanir's essence. Regrowth the last bit of HP off them. If you get all 3 here, the rest is so much easier.
- Second: you only need 2, but if you can get 3, do. You should have a couple seconds of tree left, so spam instant regrowth. You could probably stagger drums and pop them here instead, but I didn't. Velen's saves your life. The overhealing thing and +15% makes them top up real quick.
- Third: 2x rejuv, WG, regrowth spam. You'll probably only get 2, but that's fine.
- Fourth: Get the closest ghost with regrowth.
- If you go 3/3/2, you have no ghosts to fight, yay!
- If you go 3/2/2/1, you have to fight 2 ghosts, try to make them soldiers. Typhoon knife dance.
- The phase ends immediately when you get 8. This is good.

Phase 6:
Drink for mana, cry a lot.

Then kill the remaining ghosts. You're probably sunk if you have more than 4.

Phase 7:
Talents: same

This challenge is far too long. The first three waves could go as could a lot of the solo part, and most importantly BL and all cooldowns should be immediately reset at the end of phase 1 and 2 so you don't have to sit there waiting for them to come up.

Trinkets: Velen's Future Sight + 920 Archive of Faith
I have ToS 4-set, Legendaries are Prydaz and Velen and used Food / Flask / Rune just for the little boost.

I havent actually got my appearance yet as I cant get a hold of the final phase, so will update as soon as I get it :D
I've never been very good at writing clear instructions so I'll just write notes on each mob.
Also cant remember names for half the mobs and abilities so excuse me for that.
Talents: Chi Burst, Chi Torpedo, Spirit of the Crane, Leg Sweep, Diffuse Magic, Invoke Chi-Ji, Focused Thunder. (These are my usual raiding talents, therefore the ones I'm more comfortable with. Some of them can be changed around, but my opinion would be stick with Leg Sweep and Diffuse Magic)

Phase 1:
Archer: Remember to use Paralysis on these whenever they cast their Mana Arrow. It's usually up for every cast and will help prevent you or any of your team taking damage.

Mage: Use Leg Sweep / Paralysis when they're on 3 stacks. If you're a Blood Elf like me you can cheat and also use Arcane Torrent.

Soldier: Use Leg Sweep / Paralysis when they begin to cast their Knife Dance. Do not Leg Sweep during the charge up, as they will just begin the charge up when the stun breaks. When they start chasing you, you can usually heal through it but popping Fortifying Brew wont hurt. If you're using Archive of Faith like me, then use this when they get you low and/or two are chasing you at once. Remember, Crackling Jade Lightning knocks away Melee attackers.

Use stuns wisely. There are plenty of times where you can stun multiple mobs with one Leg Sweep, such as the pack of the Mage and Soldier - the Mage is on his 3rd stack when the Soldier begins to cast Knife Dance. Another example would be the pack with two Soldiers. Try to Leg Sweep both when they cast Knife Dance at the same time, or use Paralysis one and heal through the single Knife Dance. You'll get used to the chain of events in this phase.

Phase 2:
The first room consists of eyes with a rather small health pool that deal damage over time and a burst of damage upon death. I cannot stress this enough... DO NOT USE SPINNING CRANE KICK! I found out the hard way! Kill them one by one and heal yourself during / after each eye. Dont be afraid to use Fortifying Brew or Diffuse Magic to reduce the incoming damage. I found Archive of Faith to be very useful aswell.

The second room is a Felguard and three bats (iirc), with two green balls that do damage if they channel on you. They act similar to the balls in Vortex Pinnacle, where if you damage them they stop for a period of time. Use Spinning Crane Kick to render the balls useless and to kill the bats, before single targeting the Felguard down. Use Spinning Crane Kick every time the balls pop back up to stop them again. After these are dead, open the gate.

The third rooom consists of a Risen Archer, three Night Elves you need to heal, and one you need to dispel. Dispel the one running around first, then deal with the Archer just like you did in Phase 1, using Paralysis on Mana Arrow to save your mana from absolute destruction. Then heal up the wounded elves with Vivify since it heals multiple at once, even though any spell is good and gets the job done.

The fourth room is just a load of the green balls seen in the Felguard room. Just Spinning Crane Kick through them all, or even use a sneaky Chi Burst to deal with them. Open the gate at the end.

The fifth room contains three of the eyes in Room 1 and an inquisitor. Deal with the eyes how you did before and ignore the inquisitor for now. You musnt forget to heal yourself and to use Fortifying Brew and Diffuse Magic. After the eyes are dead, deal with the inquisitor. Then open the gate.

Phase 3:
This phase is mainly healing. You need to heal your allies, who will be fighting each other, aswell as waves of three mobs who float towars the dude in the middle. If the three people in each wave are not healed, then you will have to fight them at the end of the phase. Dont be afraid to use Revival or Velen's here, and Archive of Faith can heal one of the adds in an instant. I used Invoke Chi-Ji here just to keep my allies topped up along with Thunder Focus on Renewing Mist to have plenty flying around. Try to focus on healing 2/3 of the adds on each wave, and it doesnt matter which adds you heal if you're confident with dealing witht hem on Phase 1. Just be prepared to have a fight on your hands once 8 adds are fully healed. Pretty easy phase overall.

Phase 4:
So this is the phase I have yet to complete myself, but on paper it's pretty easy. I'm using the BigWigs addon and it shows me the timers on the boss' abilities (not sure if the same happens on DBM). If you've done Nightbane multiple times these mechanics should seem familiar. Focus on dropping the felfire patches at the wall and close together, to conserve space. When the boss casts Ignite Soul on you, stand in the fire patches to take yourself to at least 30% health. This is because when the debuff ends it will deal your remaining heal to every one else in the party. Heal yourself up quickly after this because the boss will soon jump on you again. Dont be afraid to use personals and healing cds as this is the last phase. Fistweave a little if you can, especially if low on mana and running the Spirit of the Crane talent.

And that's all! Good luck to you all and I hope you wish it back in turn :D
I'll edit where needed once I get my own appearance :)

Finished today with my Resto druid 920 ilevel

Do not think the challenge would be easy with 20 ilevel more than the others players who achieved this with 900 gear.

You have to master all the stage in order to complete it and expect a lot of hours of wiping.

Apart all the other advice gave from the other players I would strongly recommend to:

Using The Deceivers Grand Design is very useful in all stages particularly in the stage 5 to buff both Hunter and rouge as are the ones who take more damage from the tank and you can focus better to the souls.
During Stage 5 equip Essence of Infusion to boost your Tranquility and heal easily the second wave of souls. (remember to swap it to your main legendary after the stage)
If you are not confident with the final boss and you wish to fight him with the major CD not in cooldown a good idea would be to NOT cure 2 souls during Stage 5. In this way, during Stage 6 you will have 2 enemies to defeat. DO NOT do dps and let refresh your CD in order to have active them during the final boss.

Drums, potions, flasks and food are mandatory.

Good luck

This is just stupid. 930 ilvl and it's still near impossible. Why? Because it's not about healing at all. It's about crowd control and DPS, which, as a healer, you have nearly no control over.

I read all the guides and kept dying on last stage of P1. I have probably done P1 over 30 times. I've gotten it on fourth try that I managed to get beyond P1, so P1 was the most difficult to get through by far.

I won't rewrite the good guides that you have here and the few useful YT videos on the matter, but maybe to save you a few tries:
- I've found that you *need* to use BL on the last stage of P1 otherwise it is very difficult to get through it.
- Moreover, you need to save AS for that last stage of P1, as well as Ascendance and SLT.
- You *need* to start the last stage of P1 by interrupting the mage and then waiting for the warriors to do their knife dance, then drop your stun
- Just tank the warriors in general with all your CDs up you can do it
- Install DBM Challenge if you haven't, because it will give you the audio cue for the mana sting which is almost essential

P2 is easy and everything you need to know is covered in the guides.
More than enough time and no need to use any CDs.
Make sure you have both BL and ankh up before going in P3-4

P3 is actually rather easy at high ilvl. It was probably a challenge at the time people were trying to do it at 880, but if you are above 925 you will not need to use any heal CD. Just pop healing rain and HST, and in my case I used the KJ trinket on the NPCs to keep them alive longer without direct intervention, so you can focus on the mobs. Without the trinkets, you can certainly make it for similar ilvl with one add. First wave use HTT; second wave use Ascendance and third wave just have to heal two. If you have Archive of Faith there is no need to even use HTT on wave 1, keep it for the last P.

P4: It is relatively easy to keep the NPCs alive, the tricky part is to give you enough room not to close yourself in too early in the fight, which will make you die. Start by stunning the boss and BL. If you die, ankh up, get off with burst, while flying you have the time to pop one riptide and maybe HTT, so even if you end up flying in the green you have at least one GCD to do something, in most circumstances you will have two, or more if you are lucky and the room is not all green. If you die and the NPCs are at full health, they can tank the boss down from at least 5% and so you get credit even if you died. Just don't release yet. Good luck!

Just completed this as a Holy Priest at 920.

The only legendary I have that really helped was Volonté inébranlable de Muze, but I suppose more copious use of Drums of Fury could make up for the cast time bonus on that legendary if you don't have it.

You're really just going to need to wipe a lot on Phase 1 to learn how to handle the waves of mages/soldiers/arbalests. Once you do, you can start to fine tune it and eventually it won't be a matter of "if" you get through Phase 1 but how long it took and how many mistakes you made :). On more than one attempt I have eaten 2 mana stings on the last wave of Phase 1 because I was so burnt out and daydreaming but yet still made it through to the next part.

Some tips for those of you struggling with this:

At first you may think you have zero control over what your party will attack. This is mostly true, but when you are down to two enemies, shackling one enemy will cause the party to switch targets.
Watch out for diminishing returns on Shackle. If a wave of enemies is taking too long, and you've shackled a lot, you're going to start seeing Immune. It's important to keep mental note of how often you've shackled something and balancing that with your Holy Word: Chastise CD. Use Shackle as CC and as a way to direct your party to attack in the order you want them to (Mage -> Arbalest -> Soldier)
You must DPS for Phase 1 to go smoothly. Don't blow your Holy Word: Chastise when DPS'ing in Phase 1 unless you need it to interrupt a Mana Sting or to stun a Mage for his buff to drop off.
Get your Dispel Magic spell handy. Throw a dispel once in a while on the Mages in Phase 1, it helps a lot. If you're doing fine on mana, and you don't want to put Holy Word: Chastise on CD to buy yourself some DPS time on a Mage, then just keep his buff at bay by dispelling it and keeping your group alive.
After many failed attempts, know that Drums of Fury are mandatory. You simply won't be able to get through the add healing phase before the boss without them.
I didn't use potions at all when I completed the quest, but Potion de puissance prolongée did help during learning as well as Mana Pots when I got hit with Mana Sting. Pre-potting before P1 doesn't really do anything here, as waves 1 through 3 are easy.
Healing TOO effectively in the add healing phase before the boss results in you not getting a few seconds OOC to drink. For example, if you heal all three adds in the first and second wave, and then heal two in the third wave, you will go RIGHT into the boss battle, which can be jarring and may screw you if you need to sit and drink for a few seconds. Try to intentionally NOT heal one add in either the first or second wave.
If you die during the boss fight, heal the heck out of your party. You can still complete the quest, while dead, if your party kills the boss. If you don't have the legendary that brings you back to life after Spirit of Redemption expires (I don't), then you can try swapping Censure for Afterlife when you rescue your party and have time to drink before heading in to the boss. This gives you a few more seconds of Spirit of Redemption.
Don't overthink the fire on the floor during the boss. Trying to be too smart with the fire patches (to give yourself more room) can result you in getting stuck directly in the middle of two fire patches, making it impossible to get out before you die (since you should never be above 40 or 50% health during the last phase). It doesn't take that long to kill this guy, and if you go hard on DPS when the fight starts, and then throw Holy Word: Chastise at him every chance you get, you should be able to kill him just as the room is nearly full with fire.

Good luck! It can be done, but it will take effort. I went from thinking it was impossible to having multiple sub-10% wipes before I finally got it.

Completed this as Holy Paladin, 893, 41 attempts. Had Garde d'Uther and Chaîne de Thrayn. Haven't got armor set.

This challenge is serious stress test. I haven't played since late october 2016 but decided to take a look on upcoming Antorus raid. Must admit that in my case using this scenario as a way to recollect your healing skills wasn't a good idea. Huge kudos to other healers and especially Holy Paladins for their guides, they were very helpful.

This is indeed one, if not, the hardest single player quest that i have ever encountered in the 10 years that i have played WoW, and after around 20-30 attemps with no improvement of passing through the 3rd stage even after following the tips as a Resto Druid with ilvl 904, i think i gave up entirely at this quest ( at least for now )

I've been playing this game for a very long time and this is the stupidest thing blizzard has ever thought of. Even if you beat this on the 3 different stages and found it easy, its dumb as #$%^ and a big waste of time. There are more exciting things than to attempt this crap just for weapon skins.

Commentaire de Derplyn

The last boss actually took a few tries on my (940!) holy priest. In the end, the trick was not to keep myself low at all times, but only when I had Ignite Soul, and also have a GS ready for an incoming Soul + jump overlap. Having this figured out, it was a win.

HOLY PRIEST, PART I
(see next comment for part II)

Had to be 944 to do it as a Holy Priest, but I managed to. Collected some notes for you, so that after reading the guide, you don't waste 20 attempts figuring this out by yourself. This challenge is surprisingly difficult (and loses difficulty rather slowly with overgear), it has a very high chance of you just lucking out (or not), and each attempt will take considerable time (up to 15 minutes!). On a bright side, you will be able to rest for unlimited time between phases. Use it to get a drink, rest wrists, calm down. It is likely that you will be trying for a few days.

When you first launch the challenge, you will probably think it's like a Proving Ground, with a party of NPCs, in which you are a healer, and there would be 3 DD and a tank. Well... Not exactly. More like "a group of scrubs where you are the healer, and the tank left". Your allies are NOT tanks. They are poorly equipped (4m health) and very stupid DDs who only understand one command (well... better than zero commands): "don't attack this target". The whole dungeon except for the actual boss will be made of you saving them from killing themselves. Literally.

And when you do, you will never want to see them again.

1. This challenge is unusual for many reasons. First, it tests not just your ability to heal, but also to deal damage. You will have to damage lots of stuff here, and at higher levels of gear, phase 1 will be easier if you just nuke your way out of it.

Despite this, remove all the trinkets from yourself that do uncontrolled damage during phase 3. They have a tendency to kill the Eyes, and killing two of them simultaneously is enough to one-shot you. So no, your Prototype will have to sit this one out.

During phases 5-7, your steady healing is more important than damage, so you will need to equip your healing trinkets. Better have a slightly weaker ones, but specialized for healing, than use your DPS ones.

2. Speaking of damage. As you understand, you are no DD, but in 940+, your damage will be more than all of your party combined. They do NOT grow in power with your gear (and there is one phase where it's probably for the best). Like a real healer in a real Mythic+, you will be pulling everything on your shoulders. You are a tank, a healer, a DPS, and worst of all, a crowd control machine.

You only have so many damaging spells, so learn to use them and put them on your primary action bar. You will need to make two action bars for this challenge: one filled with damaging spells, and one purely healing. We'll get to that. Train on a dummy: your Holy Fire, Smite and Chastise must give a total of at least 600k DPS without you even trying.

The only good news here is that you will not need to be moving that much, so there is no need for maximizing mobility and damage / healing on the move, you can freely go for maximum output, both burst damage and burst heals.

3. For easier healing, I recommend you find an addon. I personally use Healbot Continued, as it is simply the best tool for people with poor coordination and who are just not good with a keyboard. It allows you to use Ctrl, Alt, Shift and LMB, RMB, MMB clicks to cast any spell on any target instantly. In addition to party, it can also be used to heal your current target.

However, it has a serious drawback which makes it less useful in phase 5. It does not add new targets in combat. It will still be very useful to watch your suicidal friends. And in the challenge too.

4. What many people find frustrating is that the hardest phase comes first here, but I actually find it convenient. Yes, phase 1 is the hardest there is (unless you are bad at phase 5, because it will make your phase 6 a living nightmare), but if you learn how to beat it, the rest of the challenge will be much, much easier. Also, you will spend less time per failed attempt, though that is hardly a consolation.

First 3 waves are usually handled well by everyone; just learn how to do the following:
- Use Shackle Undead. Here, this spell is changed from 50 seconds of paralysis to 5 seconds stun that is not broken by damage. Still, your allies will stop attacking a Shackled target and will go hit something else (which can be useful to focus one of the two remaining targets). Yes, you read this right. You gave them ONE JOB and they are still too dumb to do it right. Just like a real group.
Good news is that this spell has no cooldown, so you can use it as often as your casting speed allows you to (1.5 sec cast time). Bad news is that all enemies build up resistance to it. General rule is that if you use it twice on the same enemy, they will become immune to it until you use a different CC on them, or until some time passes (about 18 seconds), whichever happens sooner.
Shackle Undead works against either of the three types of foes, breaking their empowerment. It is a good idea to alternate between them as soon as they start casting their ultimate. If two or more do so at the same time, keep calm and shackle both one by one. Priority is (highest to lowest): Mage with 3+ stacks -> Huntress with Sting (if you can't hide due to all allies being low on health) -> Soldier with Knives. A Soldier with Fixate, if it goes after you, is usually easier to just stand and heal.
- Use Chastise. While it's tempting to use it as a nuking tool (it is surprisingly powerful in that regard), you only use it as CC and, while it's on cooldown, recharge it with Smites at every opportunity. If you have only a single enemy left, try to recharge it before moving to the next wave.
- Nuke foes one by one, regardless of who are your idiot buddies attacking. After putting a CC on a target, you can forget about it: no matter how soon it wears off, their attack is broken and their ultimate is ruined and on recharge. Choose a single target and DPS it. Every moment free of healing must be used to nuke an add: start with Mages, then switch to Soldiers, and only then to Huntresses. Just don't miss the healing / CC moments. However, the more actively you damage the adds, the less are your chances to see your party dying.

At wave 4, you will need to focus. Until you blow up the mage (Chastise him when able), use Shackle on Soldiers every time they try anything funny, so that only one at a time is damaging your party. Use your Apotheosis as soon as the wave begins to get lots of free Chastise and Serenity casts, and use them as soon as they become available. By the time Apotheosis ends, you should be out of danger, so use the rest of the wave to recharge all Holy Words. You will need them.

At wave 5, use potion and Drums. This can mean a difference between having or not to do it all over again. DPS the mage, shackle the other two on every cast of Knife Dance / Sting, and use all Holy Words to keep the party alive. Between Words, spam your Flash Heals, pay no attention to mana. The moment Mage dies, your chances at screwing drop considerably. Just don't relax, and soon you will be left with just a lone Huntress, which is a relief.

Practice, and soon you will learn to survive this phase with higher than 50% chance.

HOLY PRIEST, PART II
(see previous comment for part I)

5. The 5-minute timed run is actually a rather relaxed HPS/DPS check. It's not completely foolproof, though. Remember that regardless of anything else, Eyes must only die when you are at full health. Holy Nova is NOT to be used at any moment when you have Eyes around.

During the HPS check, your goal will be to quickly dispel the feared guy (you can target him before you even open the fence) and then immediately apply at least one healing spell (any) to three targets. Serenity, if used right, can heal one victim completely at once. The other two use Renew and Light of Tuure to keep alive, then methodically heal one, then the other, with Flash Heals. Last, a lone Huntress will be waiting, but without your braindead party to kill, she is little more than a hardy obstacle (just like the other two demons).

6. During relaxation phase, wait for the Drums debuff to fall off. Yes, that means 5-6 minutes of coffee break (just don't disconnect accidentally). Yes, this one will use lots of Drums/potions... Better buy a large pack in advance.

7. The next phase is short, but very hectic. You will not need to move or heal yourself, but you will need to heal single targets like hell 9 times. You cannot miss more than 3. Missing 1-2 is fine; missing 3 is phase 1 all over again; missing 4+ is a wipe.

To beat it, you will need the following:
- Get your secondary action bar where Serenity is 1 and Flash Heal is 2 (or which buttons you can press faster than those).
- Constantly keep Renew on the party and have Sanctify and Light of Tuure ready. You can also make a macro that will cast Guardian Spirit on Commander, as he is the most likely to die.
- First 3 targets spawn, use Drums and Potion, then spam Serenity and Flash Heals on one of them. Once he is done, immediately switch to the other and do it again. If you are lucky, you can heal all 3, if not, just 2. Always begin with Serenity, with luck, it can heal a Damaged Whoever to full in one cast. Don't try any other spells on them, you simply won't have time for them to work!
- 3 more spawn, use Apotheosis to get more Serenities. Again, try to heal all 3, but 2 will do too.
- Last 3 spawn. Use what remains of your strength to heal at least one, and try to top the other one. The third one, unless you are exceptionally good, will go through. This is not a wipe yet!

8. Nuking time, phase 6. A wave of two guys should be no trouble if you've made it through phase 1. Nuke the hell out of them one by one, and even 3 enemies should be dead soon. There are no differences from phase 1, same enemies.

9. Boss time. The actual boss. Actually the second easiest part of the dungeon.
- In 940, you are not in any rush against enrage/flooding the room. You have plenty of time. Your primary goal is to stay alive and keep allies alive, while using your free time to pump some damage into him. The more you nuke him, the higher are your chances to win.
- He does not deal any real damage to your party. For once, we found something they do good. His melee blows and Fel barely scratch them.
- Ignite Soul is the primary reason why you can fail. What you need to do is: immediately after Leap, go to the very edge of the pool, hugging the wall. When the buff is 5 seconds or so from expiring, run into the Fel just a bit. You must be about 40% before you run out. As soon as buff detonates, Serenity yourself immediately, then start Flash Heals on the party. When boss Leaps, get back to the edge of the pool and proceed with nuking. Repeat until...
- You die. It will happen not due to running out of space, but due to delay between Ignite Soul and Leap growing ever thinner (use Guardian Spirit once you feel you barely survived the last one). KEEP CALM. If you nuked the boss well, he will be at 20% or so with less than half of the room covered in Fel. Heal your party now, the best you can. Once you die for real (reading this comment indicates you don't have the cheating Legendary Cloak), start doing what priests do best.
- Pray. Your party CAN finish the boss. If they do, you still win. Do not release until the boss, or your party, is killed dead. You still get credit, and can go to Dalaran to deliver the quest now.

So, you need to luck out 3 times:
- During phase 1
- During phase 5, with critical Serenities
- During phase 7, with dying after nuking as much as possible

Get a streak of all 3 right, and you can finally win. Congratulations. You've done it at the cost of your life. The only way this could've been a more realistic healing experience would be if your party said "Noob priest is dead; we carried him/her through the entire challenge".

10. Don't overcomplicate your rotation. Prayer of Mending is a good spell, but it is slow. It can only be used in between things to give a small upstart, but never in actual battle. Prayer of Healing is good against Huntresses, as they evenly bomb the entire party for small damage, but Flash Heals rule against everything else.

This would be tolerable if you didn't have to start at stage one every time you fail quest. In between stages there is time to rest and drink, these should be save spots. Why not? Because the devs who wrote this are sycophants and don't deserve to have jobs. Seriously. I did the feral druid one and at least it's done when you kill Agatha. This just goes on and on and on and on and on. The last stage is where I am stuck at. I can't heal them up fast enough to keep from having to fight a whole mob of them. Btw, if the other characters in the group were real people I would tell them they should quit wow, get cancer, and then I would ignore them because they are bad players, bad enough to be told they deserve to get cancer. This quest is stupid and only idiots like this stuff.

Restoration Druid: to Bear or not to Bear?

In 941, it is just as hard as it was in 944 for a Holy Priest. However, due to heals over time, Druid has much more liberty here. You also have multiple talent choices, and if you know what to expect, it's doable... in a couple of hours.

1. There are two main options for Affinity. I did it in the first, but only after I beat it, realized how stupid I was to not pick the second.

- Bear way: Guardian Affinity. Grants damage reduction and periodic bear form to save yourself.
- Moonkin way: Balance Affinity. Grants a combat form with potent spells - both single target and AoE.

If you are very confident in your heals and CC, and would rather focus on healing others and not DPS, take Bear. It will make surviving Soldiers and the boss much easier.

If you are a scrub like me, not sure at all in your heals, poor at CC, and wish to just nuke your way out of this, at the cost of extra risk of dying, take Moonkin. It will let you kill adds in phase 1 and the boss much faster - therefore lessen the chances that you screw it. Just remember that you need to hotkey Moonkin form, as it fades if you cast any Restoration spell except Regrowth.

2. There are also two potent talent layouts that you need to choose from based on what you've got as legendaries and how good are you with skills.

- Abundance + Incarnation. This works wonders in phase 5; in fact, it allows you to get a whole wave (in phase 1 or 5) by itself, simply by spamming instant Regrowths. I would recommend using it for wave 5 in phase 1 too.
- Prosperity + Soul of the Forest. Allows you to instantly, in 2 casts, top off any target, with 2 charges. Makes one wave in phase 5 trivial.

If you've got Soul of the Archdruid ring, then you don't need to choose, and get both bonuses in one.

3. Typhoon is the most important CC you have in phase 1, but it's tricky to use. The alternative (Bash) recharges nearly TWICE as long, so it's generally a worse (if foolproof) choice.

Typhoon is needed to break the Arcane Blast chain of Risen Mages. However, it's not enough to just interrupt them with it; you literally need to do it as their cast nears completion. Like 75% into the cast. Only then will the buff fade.

4. Be sure to nuke the Mage every time it appears. All the damage you can spare. It's the only way you won't get another 5 stacks and nothing to interrupt it with.

5. On wave 4, you will likely have to use your Tranquility after you deal with the Mage. On wave 5, Incarnation will let you live through the most difficult stage until Mage dies.

6. Efflorence. An ability you will thank the gods you've got. Cast it under the current target (Mage, boss, or party in phase 5) and it can keep you, Jarod and the rogue much healthier regardless of what you're doing.

And by the way, you ALWAYS stand near your target in phase 1. You need it close for Typhoon, you need easier cover of Efflorence, but above all, you need to stand close to Jared: he alone can protect you from the Mana Sting. Even one Mana Sting that hits you in phase 1 will likely mean a wipe, so you can only hope on the allies.

At the start of wave 5, be sure to cover all foes in Ursol's Vortex: this will negate the first Mana Sting.

7. When you encounter the Eyes, DO NOT USE SUNFIRE. Kill them one by one with Moonfire and Wrath; ignore the Inquisitor until all Eyes are cleared (he's much more fragile than you think).

8. To deal with all waves of healing adds, you need to:
- Keep Efflorence and double Rejuvenation at all times on allies, refreshing between waves. Prepare to cast Ironbark and Regrowth on them. It helps to have HealBot.
- Wave 1: Tranquility as soon as they become visible; this will heal all 3 adds to full.
- Wave 2: Incarnation, and spam Regrowth. If you've got Soul of the Forest instead (or both), use the Swiftmend + Regrowth combo once or twice, then heal the third add with Regrowth alone.
- Wave 3: Drums, potion, and Regrowth as many as you can.
- Wave 4: focus to heal at least one or two.
I got through with a single Huntress, which is easy to deal with.

9. The boss. It is much easier for Druid than for Priest, but you will still likely die (which is not a failure, if the boss was at 20% or lower). In 940+, you will need to stay longer in the Fel to drop to 25% health; however, to avoid being killed by his Leap, you need to only start standing in Fel when 5 seconds or less remain on the Ignite Soul. After it detonates, immediately Swiftmend or Regrowth yourself, and only after you get out of Fel (Displacer Beast works wonders) start putting HoTs and Efflorence on allies. Don't forget to DoT the boss as well: without your DoTs, your party will kill him just barely in time, and you will die by running out of space (if not sooner).

10. Bring lots of food. Not only for rebuffing, but also for the drink between stages. Even without Mana Sting, this one puts an immense mana strain on you, regardless of ilvl, and you want to go into every stage topped off.

This challenge is hard, probably unreasonably hard; until you memorize all stages, you won't do it, so you will need at least 20+ attempts. Maybe 15, if you've done this before on another spec. Be prepared for it.

When I get to the final phase, he just jumps on me and immediately kills the entire grp, but does no damage to me.

After checking the combat log, it appears that he is attempting to apply ignite soul, but it failed somehow, which caused it to instantly explode and kill everyone.

How do I stop this from happening?

Restoration Shaman: It Can't Rain all the Time

Actually the easiest of the healing challenges; with 945 and Eonar trinket, this took me just 1 (one) attempt with good pre-planning. If you know what to expect, this one will be way easier than Druid / Priest.

Tips collected:

1. The first part is made so easy by the abundance of damaging / control spells. Your Flame Shock / Lava Strike is a very powerful combo that you will use by cooldown on the priority target (Mage, in most cases) and later the demons / the boss.

Sadly, Hex will not work on Risen, but since you have Wind Burst, Purge and Lightning Surge, keeping the Mages at low stacks with occasional stun of all targets will be easy. Sephuz helps here a lot.

Chain Lightning is not your friend, though, due to long cast time. Only use it to clear passage for Fel orbs in phase 3.

2. Riptide is your most useful spell. Apply it by cooldown to every damaged ally, followed by Healing Surges as needed (Undulation talent is awesome). This combo also works very well while healing Damaged Souls, both in phase 3 and phase 5.

Don't try Healing Waves / Chain Heals. While cheap, they are also very slow, which is lethal here.

3. Instead, your very valued spell will be the Healing Rain. Keep it under yourself and the party at all times. Stay as close to the enemy as possible on phase 1 to be sure everything is kept together. In phase 7, of course, you don't stay with the party, but still drop the Rain under the boss every time he moves.

Drop Healing Streams whenever Rain is outdamaged. These two will let phase 5 be safe almost without your intervention.

4. Healing Tide on Wave 4 and Heroism on Wave 5 should be enough for phase 1, but if you're careful and apply HoTs / CC, you won't even need those.

Be sure to also take Ancestral Guidance and Ascendance as cooldowns; this will allow you to break down your cooldowns for phase 5:
- Wave 1: Ancestral Guidance / Healing Tide
- Wave 2: Ascendance
- Wave 3: Heroism, potion OR just heal up two targets if you did waves 1-2 perfectly
- Boss: Heroism, if you didn't spend it

Remember to combo Riptide and Healing Surge for extra critical heals. Party will be healed by Riptides, Healing Streams and Rain.

5. Don't forget to Flame Shock / Lava Strike the boss while at him. You need to kill him before you run out of space (and health), and these spells provide a very hefty DPS while you let HoTs. Streams and Rain heal your party.

6. In 940+, you are durable enough to withstand Fixate without running away. Fight on, paying no mind to it.

7. Don't overdo the Ignite Soul. It is followed almost immediately by the next Leap, and so dropping to the safe levels of 20% is suicidal (even if you have Reincarnate). 40% (which is roughly 2 million) is enough. The party takes little to no other damage anyway. This is also a very good time for Spiritwalker.

Shammy Powwa!

Holy Paladin: A Blonde in the Dark

Holy Paladin is definitely the hardest one of the healing specs, even in 955 and especially if you've never played much with it before. I collected some tips that made my life easier and the challenge doable once I changed from my regular healing routine to the specifics below.

1. Beacon of Faith talent (two Beacons of Light with slightly reduced effect). It might seem logical to put your Beacon on Jarod (who takes most damage and soaks Mana Sting), but in actuality, you need 2 Beacons on Gramma (Hunter) and her granddaughter (Rogue). That way, whenever you heal yourself or main tank, you will also replenish them to full. This solves the main problem you have: lack of reliable AoE heals.

This is especially effective when you have the 2-piece Antorus set, which raises the Beacon healing percentage of Flash of Light (your main spell) to about 70% of the primary target. Each.

2. My biggest mistake was to equip my Vitality Resonator trinket. After quite a few tries, I threw it away and went with Kil-Jaeden legendary. VR trinket is a VERY bad idea due to being 100% useless when it's needed most (in phase 5) while making no difference in other stages (phases 1, 3 and 7).

The trinket of your choice is Eonar's Compassion. While simple, it's the best choice in game for this fight. Garothi Feedback Conduit is the second best choice which is easier to obtain.

3. Do not be afraid to use Light of the Martyr. Damage you take in 940+ is pathetic (except the last stage), and you are in DIRE need of potent instant heals, so spam it at any chance when Holy Shock is on cooldown and Flash is not empowered.

Your rotation on priority targets looks like this:
- Holy Shock, if available
- Flash of Light, if HS crits
- Light of the Martyr
- Flash of Light, if your Beacons suffered any damage in the meantime
- Light of the Martyr
- Repeat

You never use Holy Light and Bestow Faith because they are incredibly slow, which is an almost guaranteed failure.

Light of Dawn is spammed only when the party is taking small damage split across everyone; Huntresses, Knife Dance and final boss are suitable targets.

4. Due to the messed up mechanic of the proximity healing bonus, as well as need to support your party with firepower (phase 1 is easier when you nuke the hell out of Mages), you will always stand as close to the enemy as possible. Spam Crusader Strike and keep Consecration beneath you, capturing all enemies in it. The only exception is the final boss, for obvious reasons.

This way, you can:
- Get full healing bonus on Jarod, who takes most damage
- Easily hide from Mana Sting behind Jarod
- Easily control Mages (see entry 6)
- Constantly spam all damaging spells

Ignore the Fixate on yourself: it's easy to out-heal. Your heal on the move is too weak to consider running!

5. The hardest part of the fight is dealing with phase 5 (waves of Damaged Souls). Stuff from the entries above makes it MUCH easier by allowing you to focus on them and not worry that your party will die uncontrollably (only Jarod is in any real danger now). So, what I used on my last attempt, not missing a single Soul:
- Stand closer to the boss, not to party
- Wave 1: Heroism + potion, spam the rotation (see entry 3) on Souls, one by one, occasionally casting Flash of Light on Jarod if he's hurt below half life
- Wave 2: Avenging Wrath + Holy Avenger, spam the rotation as in wave 1
- Wave 3: Lay on Hands the first Soul, then spam the other, third one is not needed

However, you might want to miss one (and exactly one) Soul on purpose. Dealing with just one is easy; but if you miss none, the boss will punish you by not letting you drink.

6. Controlling Mages. There are just two reasons to fail phase 1 or phase 6 (if you got any adds): Mages getting 5 stacks or more (which is a one-shot) or taking a Mana Sting to yourself. The second is pretty obvious (use Jarod!). The first is your highest priority.

Whenever a Mage gets 3 stacks, you immediately use on them, in order of priority:
- Repentance (note that instead of incapacitate, here it works as a 5-seconds stun, not broken by damage)
- Hammer of Justice
- Arcane Torrent / War Stomp (if blood elf or tauren)
All this while putting all damage nukes into the Mage, especially in waves 4-5. This includes all spells, Kil-Jaeden (if taken), everything.

Once Mage is dead, relax and finish off the remaining adds slowly. Why slowly? To let the listed spells recharge before you take on next Mage.

7. Dealing with the boss. Not too hard, if you've made it this far, but one thing can make it very, very hard. DO NOT be afraid to stay high on health.

In 940+, you will have about 5 million health. Some guides advise to go to 20% during Ignite Soul - DON'T. You will die because the boss likes to Leap on you during that time, or immediately afterwards. Stay at 40-50% at all times, healing to that amount whenever boss leaps. Instead, focus on:
- Healing Jarod to full with Flash of Light (girls will be healed by Beacons)
- Throwing all ranged attacks, including CC (Repentange and Hammer) into boss, since you can't melee
Use Divine Protection by cooldown.

Note that if you manage to stun boss mid-air, he will freeze without making a Fel pool. Use it to get an extra cycle.

As soon as you run out of space, immediately turn on the Divine Shield, run to the boss and discharge all melee attacks into him while you still live. You will die after that; but if you did this right, the party will finish him. If you were good at ranged damage, he will die just as he's about to Leap the final time.

8. Phase 3. While foolproof, it only has one thing that can kill you: Eyes. Do not use AoE, especially Consecration, until only one add remains! If you feel something is wrong, immediately use the Divine Shield. Damaged Souls in phase 3 are easy to out-heal by switching between them and applying Light of Martyr.

The only good news with this challenge: if you beat this, there isn't any other healer challenge you won't be able to do. Also, you can finally heal with a Pally without the classic joke "How to heal as a Paladin? Step 1 - relog to Priest".

Mistweaver: Smokin'

Monk healers are very well balanced and versatile, so this challenge is relatively smooth for them: in 945, took me just two attempts, and I slept on the first one (dying in phase 1).

1. You won't need any specific legendaries here; any will do, even those for other specs. Eonar's Compassion trinket (drops from Argus) is a massive help, but overall, your own talents and skills are already very reliable.

2. Talent-wise, only two choices are absolutely critical:
- Leg Sweep (an extra control for adds)
- Focused Thunder (because Rising Thunder is not usable in phase 5, where you need it most)
The following talents are the best choice, but not critical if your playstyle is different:
- Celerity (you will need those Rolls in phase 7)
- Mist Wrap (mana will not be an issue)
- Invoke Chi-Ji (for passive healing in phase 5)

3. Dealing with Risen is smooth for Monk due to the abundance of direct damage. Go to melee with them at all times. This way, you can damage them non-stop and hide behind Jarod from Sting if needed.

Your damage priority is Mage. Fistweave it like hell until it dies. At any moment of 3+ stacks, CC the mage (Leg Sweep / Paralysis). Once Mage is dead, take your time to deal with the rest (to let the spells recharge).

Paralysis is your most useful spell here. Instead of 50 seconds incapacitate, it will become a 5-second stun. Use it on a Mage by cooldown; once Mage is dead, use it on Huntress instead (if she is not too far, otherwise just hide behind Jarod).

Soldiers will not really require control, as their damage is easier to out-heal than to prevent, but if nothing else remains, Paralyze them too once they do anything funny.

4. Waves 4 and 5 will likely require your cooldowns. Revival and Invoke Chi-Ji are your two emergency buttons. Essence Font is generally not worth casting here; rely on spamming Vivify instead. HoTs are best applied to Jarod, as he will take the most punishment. Soothing Mist must be used by cooldown as it jumps to the most wounded target anyway.

5. Phase 3 is generally very foolproof, just don't accidentally use Spinning Crane on Eyes at the beginning and in the end. For the Damaged Souls, have your Thunder Focus + Effuse ready, and heal them cycling one spell (heal 1, heal 2, heal 3, heal 1, repeat until all are healthy). You might want to use Life Cocoon during the Inquisitor fight for smoother survival.

6. Phase 5 is actually easier for Monks than it sounds if you know how your spells work. Your choice of combo for Souls is Enveloping Mist + 2 x Effuse (1x Effuse with Thunder Focus, which you activate by cooldown).
- Wave 1: Drums + potion, then proceed with usual combo
- Wave 2: Revival when all Souls are visible, then proceed with usual combo
- Wave 3: Invoke Chi-Ji, then proceed with usual combo
All this time, Vivify + Soothing Mist the allies as needed, Enveloping Mist them between waves.

Don't be afraid to use Life Cocoon if you are losing a Soul or an ally is on the brink of death. No point in saving it.

7. In phase 7, your only real problem is that you can't really damage the boss yourself (for obvious reasons), but you can still use some Lightning in between. However, you won't have much time for that.

Follow the usual "Soothing Mist + spam Vivify" routine. Do not drop yourself below 40% health; it's the optimal amount for detonation. Use Roll every time the boss is jumping, ideally when he's in air. With some VERY good timing, you can even Leg Sweep / Paralyze the boss in air, negating one Fel pool and giving yourself some time to damage him.

And that's it. Enjoy your... bird drinking fountain?

This challenge is pure cancer. It took me almost 100 tries to beat it with my 930 priest and now i discover that beating it as Holy Paladin is even harder. That weapon though is very pretty.

Commentaire de Regalingual

Just as a general tip for those struggling at the last phase, from someone who's done this challenge on all specs:

Try to keep yourself mostly topped up during the boss fight, and only let yourself drop down to below half health when you actually have the debuff. If you try to keep yourself only at half health for that entire phase, you are royally screwed when (not if) the debuff overlaps with the boss leaping towards you to create a patch of fire on the ground. The burst from the debuff is the only thing that's going to damage your DPS helpers during that phase, so you can put them on a lower priority in a pinch so you can focus on patching yourself and Jarod up first... though you should obviously heal them up before the next burst debuff comes in.

Guys :( my resto druid had 8 waves in the last phase...is it possible?

Commentaire de Elevated11

I can't finish this for my monk. On last stage, when Thorn is engaged he does the first leap but dont create fire pool :( My group is killed after Embrasement d’âme

Commentaire de Druitz

If you kill last boss with debuff on you and heal yourself to full you will kill your party, it will port you out but you will get your apperance :)

Commentaire de zharshoul

If anyone needs any last minute advice as a holy priest...

-Take Censure
-make 3 separate macros targeting each type of mob.
-Memorize which pull has what (atleast on the last 2 waves)
-On the last 2 waves try and rotate out the shackles for maximum effect
-As another poster said, you "heal" this fight be preventing damage via cc and stuns
-You are the main dps, things literally do not die if you are not dpsing them, do not have the mana or the cooldowns for it
-If you are quick enough dispelling the mage to 0 stacks makes him deal no dps basically(useful if they are immune to shackle),
-use this to your advantage to prolong certain waves to reset cooldowns(the stun +holy words)especially) if you like

4th wave I can generally get by with just an apotheosis and rotating out shackles(to heal via damage reduction) while smiting them all down( you can try and focus the mage down first you like while rotating shackles on the 2 warriors) (or whatever really) just reshackle the mage every so often and toss your stun on it or dispells (the mage is the killer this wave if left un attended)

-arbalest actually is the main thing that will wipe you if you ignore it on the final (it hits for lots at all times)
-open up with target arbalest shackle macro, pop cooldowns/trinkets/drums NUKE THE MAGE (so you no longer have to worry about dispells/shackles) reshackle arbalest once if required. After mage dies, shackle a soldier and swap to the arbalest and either focus it down or just rotate it out with the soldier.

- on the healing npc waves, you can apotheosis the first wave to easily heal all 3 via serendipity.
-drums/other cooldowns on the second save, you should easily heal all 3 or atleast 2
-finish up on the 3-4 wave

Do not worry if you get 2 adds, by this point you should have enough practice killing waves of them, just shackle one kill the other or rotate out shackle and stuns, super easy. If you get 3 adds..... its probably a wipe as all your downs are off at the moment.

-Censure stun works on the boss, you might wipe a couple times getting the feel of the encounter, the boss does minimal dps to the party except from his special hp% attack that he places on you.. try and get to 2 million life.
-IF IN DOUBT STAY AT FULL LIFE, RUN OUT OF THE FEL POOLS, THEN ADJUST as needed
-DO NOT play the game of trying to perpetually staying low life, all that does is get you killed when you take ticks of damage running out of the pools when he lands on you. You have plenty of time to hp adjust.
Pop cooldowns/trinkets max smites and stuns to keep his leaping to a minimum

-Renew and mending are actually useful tools for some hp regeneration if you are stalling out the last npc in a wave via shackles/stuns. I was actually having oom issues for flash heal spams on the last wave. Once I brought back in renew, mana (throughout the encounter)was no longer an issue.

So.... After 43 fails at Holy and 22 fails for disc .... completed those so far and i remember holy phase one being the worse... Now im on mistweaver and what in the **** is the damage llol...
Knife the tank isnt tanky and the rouge dies 2 hits and ranger hits nothing important first.... Now with all these hinders i face.... The only HUGE overtune thing i feel is my monk... 47 fails no pass phase 1 ..... Okay so . Knife Dance when holy was healable and didnt hit like a truck.... Knife dance on MW half of the dance duration if i dont heal from 99% u die lol or the rogue dies.... When im supposed to kill 2 at once... What in the world do u expect a heal to do when group just melts and there is 2 and i was told transference is key... I use that and idk how it registers as a hit and im a half map arena away.... I tornado dash and get hit bye 3 autos in the time ... _ SO im supposed to run away and not be able to heal_ BUT u want me to melee range
interrupt both knife dances ... U stunning one of the of them has a chance to make it go to next ability fixated... But thats not the case... Iv seen them do 3 knife dance casts and one fixates other knife dances.. As i said before half of a knife dance at 100% hp kills you. So how the hell am i supposed to heal that but im fixated so ill just outright die so i cant stop and 45 seconds - 30 seconds of no stuns left... ur dead... Heal challenge more like *Heal the mentally challenged* tank rogue and ranger cant do a thing little 0.5 damage autos.
