Blackrock Depths

High Interrogator Gerstahn

She pulls by running at the group and fighting in melee, and her two elite guards and three Bloodhounds join the fight when she engages. The tank holds her while healers watch for Shadow Word: Pain on the tank and for Mana Burn on casters.

Kill her fast: if she dies quickly, Psychic Scream (a fear on up to five nearby players, 6 seconds) rarely goes off. Interrupt Mana Burn, dispel Shadow Word: Pain and the Magic Shadow Shield, and loot the Prison Cell Key she carries.

In short: Burn her down before she screams, interrupt Mana Burn.

Loot

Lord Roccor

A rock elemental that patrols the back half of the circular Halls of the Law. Pull him back to a spot away from other packs and keep the tank healed: Ground Tremor stuns everyone within 20 yards for 2 seconds, and Earth Shock deals Nature damage and interrupts the spell a player is casting.

Casters should stand beyond 20 yards to keep casting through the tremor, and healers should dispel Flame Shock, which is Magic and burns for 12 seconds. Classic Roccor can also put up Reflective Skin, which reflects an offensive spell back at the caster, so check his buffs before casting.

In short: Keep casters out of Ground Tremor range, dispel Flame Shock.

Loot

Houndmaster Grebmar

A Dark Iron houndmaster who fights with two weapons. The tank holds him in melee; Demoralizing Shout cuts attack power for everyone within 10 yards for 20 seconds, so melee players should be ready to take it, and Pummel interrupts a spell for 4 seconds.

He casts Bloodlust on an ally, raising its attack speed by 30% for 30 seconds; dispel it (Magic) or kill the buffed target first. He runs away at 15% health, so keep a ranged attacker or stun ready to finish him.

In short: Hold him on the tank, dispel Bloodlust, finish him before he flees at 15%.

Ring of Law

Stepping onto the mesh circle at the center of the arena starts the event, and High Justice Grimstone, who cannot be attacked, explains it. He first sends two waves of the same random creature, then a single final challenger: Grizzle, Anub'shiah, the Eviscerator, Ok'thor the Breaker, Hedrum the Creeper or Gorosh the Dervish. The arena stays closed until it is over.

Each final challenger has one thing to answer. Anub'shiah casts Curse of Tongues and Enveloping Web (dispel the curse). The Eviscerator's Anti-Magic Shield blocks magic damage for 6 seconds, so casters pause and melee keeps hitting. Gorosh spins with Whirlwind (step out of 8 yards) and Mortal Strike halves healing. Grizzle stuns with Ground Tremor and speeds up at half health. Hedrum roots the group with Web Explosion and poisons with Baneful Poison. Ok'thor slows, polymorphs and casts Arcane Explosion.

In short: Answer each challenger's trick: dispel curses and slows, step out of Whirlwind, cure Hedrum's poison.

Loot

Pyromancer Loregrain

Loregrain arrives with two Twilight Emissary adds and is an easy fight. He spams Molten Blast (interruptible Fire damage), sets down a Scorching Totem that lasts 35 seconds and attacks players, and casts Flame Shock.

Interrupt Molten Blast and dispel Flame Shock (Magic). He can be sheeped or mind controlled while the adds are killed first.

In short: Kill the adds, interrupt Molten Blast, dispel Flame Shock.

Loot

Lord Incendius

Incendius is immune to stuns, Gouge, Blind and Garrote, so the tank cannot lean on them. His Curse of the Elemental Lord cuts the Fire resistance of everyone in range by 100 for 1 minute, and he follows with heavy Fire damage: Fire Storm burns an area for 30 seconds and Fiery Burst hits a selected area.

Remove the curse as soon as it lands (it is a curse, so Remove Curse and Remove Lesser Curse work), stay out of the burning ground, and bring fire protection. Mighty Blow knocks the tank back.

In short: Remove the curse, move out of Fire Storm, bring fire protection.

Loot

Warder Stilgiss

A Dark Iron cryomancer. Frostbolt is interruptible and slows its target, and Frost Nova roots everyone nearby for up to 8 seconds, so keep casters at range and dispel the Magic root. Verek, who fights beside him, curses a player with Curse of Blood and enrages.

Interrupt Frostbolt, dispel Frost Nova, and burn Stilgiss before his Frost Armor and Frost Ward make the fight longer.

In short: Interrupt Frostbolt, dispel Frost Nova.

Fineous Darkvire

Darkvire patrols up and down a ramp in the Hall of Crafting. Clear one end of the ramp first so no adds join, then wait for him to come to you.

Interrupt Holy Light, which heals 467 to 541. His Kick interrupts a caster for 6 seconds, so keep casters away from him, and watch for Seal of Reckoning and Devotion Aura on him and his allies.

In short: Clear one end of the ramp, interrupt Holy Light.

Loot

Bael'Gar

A molten giant. Magma Splash puts a Fire damage over time on the tank, and Summon Spawn of Bael'Gar calls a Spawn for 3 minutes and burns enemies in the selected area for 1,388 to 1,612 Fire damage.

Bring fire protection, keep the tank healed through the splash, and have a second player pick up or kill the Spawn so it does not stay on the healer.

In short: Fire protection, keep the tank up, deal with the Spawn.

General Angerforge

Angerforge starts surrounded by four weak militia dwarves, which an area attack clears quickly. At 40% health he calls for reinforcements, several Anvilrage Reservists and two elite Anvilrage Medics, which makes the fight much harder.

Enrage triggers each time he is critically hit in melee (more damage and faster attacks for 5 seconds), and Sunder Armor stacks on the tank. When the Medics arrive, interrupt their Heal, Prayer of Healing and Mind Blast, and kill them first; they run away at 15% health.

In short: Clear the militia with area damage, kill the Medics at 40%.

Loot

Golem Lord Argelmach

A caster golem. Chain Lightning strikes up to five targets with rising damage, so spread out and interrupt it when you can. Shock is a single-target Nature hit, and Lightning Shield (Magic) punishes melee and ranged attackers with small Nature damage.

The tank holds him and healers keep everyone up through the chains.

In short: Spread out, interrupt Chain Lightning.

Loot

Hurley Blackbreath

Blackbreath and his cronies are all elites. Have the tank bash the kegs to start the fight, everyone stand back in the northwest corner of the room, and the tank then attack Blackbreath to take aggro. Use crowd control on the cronies.

Flame Breath hits a cone in front of him, so only the tank should stand there. Drunken Rage raises his attack speed by 50% for 15 seconds. He has a lot of health, so most groups kill the cronies first to cut the damage the tank takes.

In short: Bash the kegs, stand in the northwest corner, control the cronies.

Loot

Phalanx

Phalanx is a golem bouncer with three attacks. Mighty Blow adds damage and knocks the tank back, Thunderclap damages everyone nearby and slows their attacks and movement for 10 seconds, and Fireball Volley burns everyone nearby with Fire damage.

The tank holds him while the group stays together for healing; nothing here needs a dispel or an interrupt, but keep an eye on the slow when you have to move.

In short: Tank the golem, heal through Thunderclap and Fireball Volley.

Ribbly Screwspigot

Ribbly is the Grim Guzzler's barkeep and fights with Gouge and Hamstring. Gouge incapacitates a target who is facing him for up to 3 seconds, so expect the tank to be out briefly, and Hamstring slows movement.

He runs away at 30% health, so have a ranged attacker or a snare ready to finish him.

In short: Expect a gouged tank, finish him before he flees at 30%.

Loot

Plugger Spazzring

Plugger owns the Grim Guzzler and carries the key to it. Pickpocketing him, or stealing a Dark Iron Ale Mug or a Grim Guzzler Boar, turns the patrons hostile, and attacking him does the same, so clear the room's patrons with that in mind.

He casts Shadow Bolt and Immolate, curses with Curse of Tongues, and Banishes one player at a time for up to 15 seconds. Dispel the curse and the Magic damage over time.

In short: Expect the whole room to turn hostile, dispel Curse of Tongues.

Plugger Spazzring’s abilities

Ability	Effect
Shadow Bolt	Shadow damage to a player.
Immolate	Fire damage now and over time (Magic, dispellable).
Curse of Tongues	Slows casting speed by 50% (Curse).
Banish	Banishes one player at a time for up to 15 seconds (Magic).

Loot

The Vault

Watchman Doomgrip is the fight. He cuts armor with Sunder Armor (up to 5 stacks) and drinks a potion that heals him for 590 to 684.

The tank holds him with healers ready for the stacking armor loss; add burst damage to outpace the potion.

In short: Tank Doomgrip, healers watch the Sunder Armor stacks.

Ambassador Flamelash

Burning Spirits spawn at the seven Flame Runes around the room and run to Flamelash, and each one that reaches him gives him Burning Spirit: 5% more damage and 5% more size, stacking up to 50 times. He also hits in melee with Fire Blast.

Either keep the tank on him while an area-damage player kills spirits before they arrive, or ignore the spirits and focus him down before the stacks grow. Bring fire protection.

In short: Kill spirits before they reach him, or burn him down; fire protection.

The Seven

The Seven are all immune to curses, and the encounter runs on a timer: after a set number of seconds the next dwarf is released and attacks the first player it sees. Defeating them makes the Chest of the Seven appear and opens the door.

Plan the dwarves one at a time. Interrupt Vile'rel's Heal and Prayer of Healing, Seeth'rel's Frostbolt and Doom'rel's Shadow Bolt Volley. Dispel Seeth'rel's Frost Nova and Hate'rel's Shadow Shield (Magic), and cleanse Doom'rel's Immolate. Gloom'rel's Mortal Strike cuts healing by 50%, Dope'rel's Gouge only works on players facing him, and Anger'rel enrages when critically hit in melee.

In short: Dwarves come on a timer, one at a time: interrupt healers, dispel Magic, no curses.

Magmus

Magmus waits in the Iron Hall, which opens after you light the two braziers in the Lyceum with a Shadowforge Torch. War Stomp hits everyone nearby for 50 damage, knocks them back and stuns them for 8 seconds, and Fiery Burst deals 255 to 345 Fire damage in a selected area.

The tank holds him, the rest of the group stays out of the area marked by Fiery Burst, and fire protection helps.

In short: Tank him, avoid Fiery Burst, expect an 8 second stun from War Stomp.

Princess Moira Bronzebeard

Moira heals the Emperor, so she is the first thing to deal with. She is immune to Polymorph but can be Sapped or caught in a Freezing Trap, or the group can simply kill her first.

Interrupt her Heal and Mind Blast, and dispel Shadow Word: Pain. Renew heals an ally every 3 seconds for 15 seconds.

In short: Sap or trap her (no Polymorph), or kill her first; interrupt Heal.

Emperor Dagran Thaurissan

Clear the other dwarves in the Imperial Seat before the pull, because everything in the room joins the Emperor's fight. His hammer Ironfoe gives melee attacks a chance to add three extra attacks and raise his crit chance by 10% for 5 seconds.

Avatar of Flame makes him immune to all magic for 10 seconds and burns anyone he strikes in melee, so casters should hold their spells and the tank should be well healed. Hand of Thaurissan deals Fire damage and stuns a player for 5 seconds.

In short: Clear the room first, hold spells during Avatar of Flame, heal through Hand of Thaurissan.
