Oralius' Abenteuer can be completed on any difficulty and rewards players with Oralius' Flüsterkristall, an unlimited-charges "flask”.

Ein Herz für Kinder!, which can only be completed in Heroic mode, rewards players with Millhaus Manasturm as a Garrison follower.

Leeeeeeeeeeeeeroy...?Leeroy Jenkins

To complete this achievement, players must locate Leeroy's corpse in the Rookery after killing Kyrak, resurrect it, and then complete all trash and bosses up to and including The Beast before Leeroy's 900-second (15-minute) "chicken timer" expires.

If you do not clear all of those mobs, he will run around pulling everything in the area and die.

Orebender Gor'ashanNotable Trash Mobs:

Schwarzeisengrunzer - Summons Unterstützungsbanner, which will pull other packs of trash if not quickly killed

Schwarzeisenberserker - Gains Wutanfall, dealing heavy tank damage; can be removed by Enrage-dispelling effects

Schwarzeisenschlachtzauberer - Casts Schrapnellsturm, summoning a small grenade at the targeted player's location; move away before the Schrapnellsturm explodes

Schwarzeisenbleispuckerin - attempt to activate Wachkanones, which will deal spiky party damage with Kanonenschuss; use crowd-control or stuns to prevent this

Zornschlundworg - Enrages with Schwarzfelstollwut, which can be removed by Enrage-dispelling effects; uses Wildes Zerfleischen on the tank

WachkanoneKanonenschussNote that this function is disabled in Challenge Mode difficulty.Orebender Gor'ashan Tips & StrategyErzformer Gor'ashan

Gor'ashan will occasionally activate several of the Rune Conduits around the room to empower himself with Energieverbindung, reducing the damage he takes and allowing him to cast Donnerkakophonie; players must deactivate the Rune Conduits quickly.

Each time Gor'ashan enters this phase, he will activate 2 more Rune Conduits (so first there will be 2 Conduits to deactivate and 2 stacks of Energieverbindung on the boss, then 4 and 4, then 6 and 6, then 8 and 8).

While deactivating Rune Conduits, players must also dodge the two Elektrischer Impulss which rotate quickly around the perimeter of the room. Unless the player has a powerful survivability cooldown active, taking any Elektrischer Impuls damage is likely to be fatal. The Elektrischer Impulss move very quickly and players will find it difficult to deactivate more than two Rune Conduits in a row.

Whenever Energieverbindung is not active, Gor'ashan will raise a Magnetitstachel from the floor, dealing unavoidable heavy damage to any players lingering there. Players must stay on Gor'ashan's platform or the ramp leading up to it in order to avoid the Magnetitstachel. The Magnetitstachel will begin very shortly after the last Rune Conduit is deactivated, so players should use a personal cooldown for the run back to Gor'ashan's platform..

Use Active Mitigation/cooldowns to reduce Klingen aus Stahl damage

Gor'ashan does not melee during Energieverbindung; you can help deactivate Rune Conduits, but be sure to return to the platform quickly to pick Gor'ashan up

Use a cooldown when returning to the platform, in case you are targeted by Magnetitstachel

Use Kampfrausch/Heldentum/Zeitkrümmung at the start

When Gor'ashan gains Energieverbindung, jump down from the platform, avoid Elektrischer Impulss, and click on the Rune Conduit

Speed boost abilities are excellent for Conduit deactivation, but avoid aspect of the pack

Use a personal damage-reduction CD when running back to the platform, in case you are targeted by Magnetitstachel

The tank will take heavy damage from Klingen aus Stahl

The party may take infrequent, heavy damage from Schrapnellnova if not avoided

Use throughput or damage-reduction cooldowns during the Energieverbindung/Donnerkakophonie phase

Stay in the middle of Gorashan's platform during Energieverbindung/Donnerkakophonie to reach the players deactivating the Rune Conduits

Players struck by Elektrischer Impuls or Magnetitstachel will take fatal or near-fatal damage

Stand halfway-2/3rds up the ramp to avoid Schrapnellnova

Commander Tharbek Tips & StrategyKommandant Tharbek

Players must dodge the Eisenhakenhimmelsjäger's Verbrennender Atem and Giftspucke, as well as Tharbek's Eiserner Häscher charge and the Magische Eisenaxts that wander around the room.

These mechanics will deal near-fatal damage if not avoided. Additionally, Tharbek will target random players (including the tank) with Eisenaxt bleeds, which cannot be avoided and deals significant damage.

When Commander Tharbek reaches approximately 70% health, he gains Eiserne Wut, increasing his damage dealt. This will be the most healing-intensive portion of the encounter.

When Commander Tharbek reaches approximately 60% health, Awbee will join the fight, assisting players in a very minor way by damaging Tharbek with Arkanodem and melee attacks. This is a reference to the blue dragon whelp, Awbee, who appeared in the original Blackrock Spire as a questgiver near the Stadium.

Move out of the Eisenhakenhimmelsjäger's Verbrennender Atem

Move Tharbek away from Giftspucke and Magische Eisenaxts

Side-step Tharbek's Eiserner Häscher charge

Save stronger survivability CDs for Tharbek's Eiserne Wut

Avoid the Magische Eisenaxts and Giftspucke puddles

Move out of the way of Tharbek's Eiserner Häscher charge

Stay behind, or far away from, the Eisenhakenhimmelsjäger to avoid Verbrennender Atem

Ranged DPS should DoT the Ekelschlundjungtiers flying overhead

Use a personal damage-reduction CD when affected by the Eisenaxt bleed, especially after Tharbek gains Eiserne Wut

The tank, and players affected by the Eisenaxt bleed, will take heavy damage, especially during Tharbek's Eiserne Wut

Players caught in Verbrennender Atem or Magische Eisenaxt will take near-fatal damage

Use throughput CDs when the party is low, after Tharbek gains Eiserne Wut

Avoid the Magische Eisenaxts and Giftspucke puddles

Move out of the way of Tharbek's Eiserner Häscher charge

Stay behind, or far away from, the Eisenhakenhimmelsjäger to avoid Verbrennender Atem

Use a personal damage-reduction CD when affected by the Eisenaxt bleed, especially after Tharbek gains Eiserne Wut

Heroic and Challenge Mode Difficulties:Eisenhakenhimmelsjäger

While both Tharbek and the Skyreaver are active, tank damage is extremely high.

Players should use Kampfrausch/Heldentum/Zeitkrümmung to finish off the Skyreaver.

EkelschlundjungtierSon of the Beast (Optional)Sohn der BestieLeeeeeeeeeeeeeroy...?Die BestieSchwarzeisendrachenhüterErschreckendes GebrüllFlammenausbruch

Erschreckendes Gebrüll applies a Physical-school fear (cannot be dispelled); this can be countered by and Totem des Erdstoßes, but by very few other abilities.

Son of the Beast will also rush to the farthest-away target with Feuriger Ansturm, knocking the player back if this is not avoided, and leaving a Fiery Trail on the ground that will damage anyone who crosses its path.

Face Son of the Beast away from the party so his Feuriger Ansturm is more obvious

Move Son of the Beast away from nearby Fiery Trail

Use a survivability cooldown before Erschreckendes Gebrüll, if possible, in case you are feared through Fiery Trail

Ranged DPS should stand more than 10 yards from Son of the Beast to avoid Erschreckendes Gebrüll

Side-step Feuriger Ansturm if you are the target, or put your back to a wall

Melee DPS should move away before Erschreckendes Gebrüll if possible

Players struck by Feuriger Ansturm or who stand in the Fiery Trail it leaves behind will take heavy damage

Outside of these events, most of the damage is moderate tank damage

Use a cooldown on the tank (such as Schmerzunterdrückung) if the tank is afflicted by Erschreckendes Gebrüll

Stand more than 10 yards from Son of the Beast to avoid Erschreckendes Gebrüll

Side-step Feuriger Ansturm if you are the target, or put your back to a wall

Ragewing the UntamedNotable Trash Mobs:

Of these, the Schwarzeisendrachenhüter are the most dangerous, as they will occasionally break off from the group and run to nearby Whelp cages.

If not stunned or otherwise prevented, the Drake-Keepers will release a pack of 10 Whelps from each cage, rapidly overwhelming the group.

Since Drake-Keepers come in groups of four, players should use single-target CC on some of them to help stagger their attempts to release Whelps.

Tank Ragewing facing just to the right or left of the center of the bridge, so it's obvious when she turns to use Einhüllendes Feuer

Run to the opposite side of the bridge for Einhüllendes Feuer

Get back into melee range quickly to avoid taking Feueratem damage

Move away from Magma speien pools

Use damage reduction CDs for high stacks of Reißende Klaue

Quickly gather the Zornschwingenwelpes, and move out of Feuersturm

When Ragewing lands on the platform after the second Whelp phase, quickly taunt her and face her away from the party

Use Kampfrausch/Heldentum/Zeitkrümmung at the start of the fight

During Zornschwingenwelpe phases, AoE the Whelps and stay out of Feuersturm

Run to the opposite side of the bridge for Einhüllendes Feuer

Move away from Magma speien pools

When Ragewing lands on the platform after the second Whelp phase, stay behind her

Remove Ragewing's Brennender Zorn (an Enrage effect) if possible

Tank damage will be heavy when Reißende Klaue stacks are high

Players struck by Einhüllendes Feuer are likely to take fatal damage

Players who stand in Magma speien pools are likely to take fatal damage

Use damage-reduction or throughput CDs during the Whelps phases

Run to the opposite side of the bridge for Einhüllendes Feuer

Move away from Magma speien pools and Feuersturm

Three Schwarzeisenwyrmreiters will land on the platform, causing moderate tank damage and minor annoyance with Kettenzug.

Eisenflügelglutschuppe drakes will swoop down and cover one third of the platform with Brennender Atem; this occurs in an alternating pattern, e.g. the first Breath will be oriented east-west, and the next will be north-south, then east-west, etc.

Despite the reach of the graphic, players will take heavy damage from Brennender Atem if they are standing anywhere in the targeted segment of the platform. Players can watch the drakes to predict their position and preemptively move out of the area to avoid taking any damage.

SchwarzeisenwyrmreiterBrennender Atem

Use cooldowns or active mitigation to counter the heavy damage of Zerstörerischer Hieb

Move away from Zaela as she begins her Schwarzeisenzyklon

Pick up the Schwarzeisenwyrmreiters when they land, and drag them out of the Eisenflügelglutschuppes' Brennender Atem

Taunt Zaela when she lands and move her out of the Eisenflügelglutschuppes' Brennender Atem

Use Kampfrausch/Heldentum/Zeitkrümmung at the start of the fight

Ranged DPS should stay spread out to minimize Querschlägerklinge damage

If targeted by Schwarzeisenzyklon, kite Zaela away from allies

If targeted by Kettenzug, move away from the adds once you land, but be mindful of Brennender Atem

Avoid standing in Brennender Atem

Tank damage will be very high; use tank CDs while the Schwarzeisenwyrmreiters are active

Players who stand in Brennender Atem will be heavily injured

Use damage-reduction or throughput cooldowns when Zaela lands

If targeted by Schwarzeisenzyklon, kite Zaela away from allies

If targeted by Kettenzug, move away from the adds once you land, but be mindful of Brennender Atem

Avoid standing in Brennender Atem

Heroic and Challenge Mode Difficulties:SchwarzeisenwyrmreiterDrachengebrüllKettenzugDrachengebrüll

The knock-back is more problematic than the damage, as it can force players to take damage from Brennender Atem.

Players affected by Kettenzug should move away from the Wyrm Riders as fast as possible, and use a damage-reduction CD if they cannot avoid Drachengebrüll.

EisenflügelglutschuppeBrennender Atem

Note that the same third of the platform cannot be targeted twice in a row.

One simple way to avoid damage is to simply move into the segment that was most recently targeted, after the Breath fades.

I love it that you have taken every roles aspect of the encounters as well as overall mob mechanics. Great guide!

Kommentar von pathofcloud

Do you have to rez Leroy immediately? Is it possible to go back and rez him right before Zaela or at least wait until after the trash before the next boss or does the timer start immediately after Kyrak dies?

Kommentar von gunsotsu

upper black rock spire is a leveling dungeon? what?

everbloom
shadowmoon burial grounds
upper black rock spire
grim rail depot

This guide is slightly incorrect. In order to get the Leeroy achievement, you don't need to clear the whole instance. You just need to clear everything up to and including Son of the Beast. Literally all of the trash. Leeroy is lvl 60 and will aggro anything that catches his faintest scent.

In addition, you have slightly more than the 900 seconds to finish. You can start clearing while one person is rezzing, and Leeroy has some dialog before starting the timer. When he's done, he still has to run all the was from the rookery to the Son of the Beast's room which takes a little less than a minute.

Kommentar von Claskent

You do not have to clear the entire dungeon, you just have to kill every mob up until Ragewing.

Kommentar von Glitterangel

Awesome and indepth

Class and Role breakouts provide basic information to returning WoW vets out of the loop with the patch/xpack changes. It is interesting to compare this instance to the old one I remember running in a 40/15 man group 10 years ago.

Good job!

Kommentar von Dayani

Updated 12/8 - removed bad advice on Gor'ashan, removed section on CM Tharbek that no longer exists in game, removed knockback on Warlord Zaela Heroic/CM difficulty as that never made it to the live version. :) -- Dayani

Kommentar von Gharlane

Great guide! My only real quibble is that in the Loot and Rewards section, this sentence:

"Players who complete Challenge Master: Skyreach are awarded the title %s, Scion of Rukhmar."

seems to belong to another guide. Thanks again for posting the guide :)

I really appreciate that it was broken down by responsibilities.
