Winding Down Friday

by

As you may have guessed, I’ve been busy exploring the new content that patch 2.4 has to offer, and so we’ve missed a few posts along the way. Not to worry though! In case you missed it I’ve brought up the Fury of the Sunwell Trailer for your entertainment.

In other news I must say I’m pretty impressed with the new dailies/content. I love Magister’s Terrace as an instance (though a bit heavy on the need for crowd control) and I’ve been doing my part to unlock the latest badge gear vendor, who only shows up once enough dailies have been done to build the anvil!

If you haven’t been in there just yet, Magister’s Terrace is an interesting mix of healer, anti-caster, and melee mobs. You’ll have to deal with dampening magic fields, fast-casting arcane mages, and full-heal blood knights if you expect to survive! A good rule of thumb is to CC the mobs that do the most damage while targeting healers first (with a healthy amount of spell-interrupts of course). The boss fights are a lot of fun, if familiar. Many seem to take a page from karazahn, just in 5-man form. Here’s a short breakdown:

  • First Boss is much like the Warlord in Steam Vaults. Have your tank bring him near a crystal. When he begins to channel it, destroy the crystal as fast as you can, then move on to the next. If he has mana, he will periodically explode, causing damage to your entire group.
  • The Second Boss is much like curator, except the energy bolts you destroy will cause you to do eat a debuff that increases your damage while causing damage to you. Don’t kill too many yourself, or you’ll get fragged! Be sure to unload as his health winds down, because he’ll start doing a lot of damage to your entire group
  • The Third Boss is very similar to the Moroes fight in kara. You’ll need to CC the adds as best you can. Kill off the witch’s minions first that cannot be reliably controlled, then focus your damage on her, and you’ll be fine.
  • Kael has to be my favorite fight of a 5-man instance in some time. He’ll start off pretty standard, just throwing fireballs and summoning a phoenix, which you must kill ASAP, as he does fairly hefty damage to the group. Once he hits 50%, he’ll cast gravity lapse, throwing your group into the air. At this point, everyone should focus their damage on kael while avoiding the orbs floating around the room (they hurt, a lot!) until dead.

    • It should be noted that this is a summary for non-heroic mode, and while I’m sure you can find a more detailed explanation elsewhere, hopefully this will give you a taste for what’s in store!
