The Botanica Commander Sarannis High Botanist Freywinn Thorngrin the Tender Laj Warp Splinter Thorngrin the Tender is the third boss in The Botanica wing of Tempest Keep. Abilities (Spell #34661): Occasionally sacrifices a party member, doing x amount of Shadow damage over y time. Can only hit players who are in line of sight and NOT his primary target. Also resets threat on all targets. 0.5 sec cast. [x and y ticking for about 750 doing about 5-6k total] Since patch 2.1 this will also teleport the player to Thorngrin's original location and stuns you for the duration of the Sacrifice. (Spell #39132): Channels Hellfire at his feet, causing 1.3k damage every second. Can be outranged by the tank. (Spell #34670): Occasionally enrages, increasing attack speed by 75% and physical damage by 110. Strategy Before engaging Thorngrin, clear through the hallway to the south as it is possible that a melee trying to avoid the Hellfire or a healer using an AoE heal could pull these mobs in the middle of the boss fight. During the fight, Thorngrin will sacrifice a random party-member, draining their health to heal himself. HoTs and shields can be cast on the party member during the sacrifice to mitigate damage. He will reset aggro before doing this so taunt him immediately as he starts casting Sacrifice. Sacrifice will not cast on a party member that is not in his line-of-sight, so keep healers out of his LoS if possible. He will cast Hellfire which will affect everyone in melee range, and should be avoided as quickly as possible. Be aware that the animation for his Hellfire is much larger than the actual area of effect. Healers need to watch for his enrage, which causes him to hit the tank very hard.
