Functional Items (marked in red on the mini-map):

Arcane Power Conduit: Allows Engineers, Gnomes, or Goblins to deactivate the Guardian Constructs in the dungeon, turning them neutral and stunning them permanently

Flask of the Solemn Night: Allows Rogues or Alchemists to poison the flask that Patrol Captain Gerdo drinks during the fight, instantly killing him

Bazaar Goods: Rogues, Warriors, or Leatherworkers may interact with the item, sounding an alarm that distracts a mini-boss before the Talixae Flamewreath encounter

Lifesized Nightborne Statue: Miners or Jewelcrafters may destroy the statue, distracting a mini-boss before the Talixae Flamewreath encounter

Discarded Junk: Hunters or Blacksmiths may create a trap that distracts a mini-boss before the Talixae Flamewreath encounter and will kill a mini-boss that steps on the trap

Wounded Nightborne Civilian: All Healer specs, Tailors, and players with First Aid may dress the Civilian's wounds, distracting a mini-boss before the Talixae Flamewreath encounter

Fel Orb: Demon Hunters and Warlocks may destroy the Orb to grant the party Fel Surge, increasing Critical Strike chance by 10%. In 7.2, Priest and Paladin are also able to destroy the Orb

Infernal Tome: Priests and Paladins may destroy the book to bathe the party in Comforting Light, granting players a 10% reduction of incoming damage. In 7.2,
Demon Hunter are able to use the Infernal Tome as well

Magical Lantern: Mages, Enchanters, Blood Elf, and Night Elf may consume the lantern's power to grant the party Arcane Infusion, increasing all damage dealt by 10%

Nightshade Refreshments: Cooks at 800 skill level and Pandaren of either faction may share the Succulent Cuisine, increasing all players' maximum health pools by 25%. In 7.2, Herbalists are able to use the Nightshade Refreshments as well

Starlight Rose Brew: Death Knights and Monks may consume the Starlight Rose Brew, granting the party improved health and mana regen

Umbral Bloom: Druids and Herbalists may pick the flower, granting the party Umbral Spores, increasing Haste by 10%

Waterlogged Scroll: Shamans, Skinners, and Scribes may read the scroll to grant the party Flowing Waters, increasing movement speed by 30%

Flask of the Solemn NightGetting Started and Ly'leth LunastreLy'leth LunastreMasqueradeSignal LanternDuskwatch GuardPatrol Captain GerdoIn Patch 7.2, Vigilant Duskwatch's Hinder spell now stuns the player for 6 seconds rather than causing them to deal less damage. Thus, it's important to disable the beacons before fighting Patrol Captain Gerdo.Arcane Beacon

There are five Arcane Beacons - one just before each bridge the players must cross to reach Gerdo, and three in Gerdo's room

Duskwatch Sentry enemies will run to the Arcane Beacon and begin to channel Sound Alarm upon noticing the party

If the Sentry completes the Sound Alarm cast, the Arcane Beacon becomes Secured, and cannot be disabled by players

Additionally, a Vigilant Duskwatch add will spawn and attack the party

Players should interrupt the Duskwatch Sentry's Sound Alarm cast, or stun and kill the Duskwatch Sentry before it reaches the Arcane Beacon

Disable BeaconSound Alarm

Vigilant Duskwatch has high health for a trash mob, but few abilities

The Vigilant Duskwatch will Hinder random players (including the tank), causing them to be stunned for 6 seconds.

Hinder can be interrupted, or the debuff can be dispelled by healers

Tanks should make sure to pick up the Vigilant Duskwatch so its melee attacks do not kill party members

Notable Trash Mobs

Duskwatch Guard will attack tanks with Quelling Strike, a cone attack that stuns players it hits

The Guard will also cast Fortification on himself and allies, increasing their Haste and reducing their damage taken

The Fortification debuff can be dispelled with offensive dispel effects like Mass Dispel or Spellsteal

Duskwatch Sentry will Throw Torch at the first player it notices before attempting to activate the nearest Arcane Beacon

Mana Saber leaps to distant enemies and casts Mana Fang, a very strong AoE swipe that leaves a DoT on all players it strikes

Do not stack while fighting Mana Sabers; healers should dispel the Mana Fang DoT

Mana Wyrms will cast Wild Detonation on death, and come in very large packs

Stagger the Mana Wyrms' deaths so melee DPS and tanks are not outright killed

Arcane Manifestation attempts to Drain Magic every 10 seconds, dealing moderate party damage and buffing itself to increase the damage of its next cast

Drain Magic should be interrupted when possible

Duskwatch Arcanists will deal moderate damage with Nightfall Orb, and will cast Seal Magic

Seal Magic deals moderate damage to all players within 10 yards and silences affected players for 4 seconds

Seal Magic should be interrupted or players should run out, and healers can dispel the Seal Magic debuff

Bound Energy will cast Charged Blast, dealing damage and knocking back all players in a line

Guardian Construct

Guardian Constructs will attack the tank with Charged Smash, dealing heavy damage

The Charged Smash will leave a pool of Disrupting Energy in the targeted location

Tanks should watch for the Charged Smash cast and dodge the effect, then pull the Construct away from the Disrupting Energy

The Construct will target random non-tank players with Suppress, pacifying the player for 6 seconds and dealing moderate damage

This cast should be interrupted, or the Suppress debuff should be dispelled from its target

Guardian Constructs will also buff themselves with Charging Station

This will cause other nearby enemy mobs to gain Power Charge, healing for 5% of their health every second, and gaining a stacking damage increase

Power Charge cannot be dispelled; players should interrupt the Charging Station cast

Charging Station will not apply Power Charge to the Guardian Construct itself

Disabled Guardian Constructs become neutral

The Constructs gain the Overloaded! debuff, which stuns them permanently

These Constructs can still take damage, and if they do, players will be locked in combat until the Guardian Construct has been destroyed

To avoid this, tanks should use single-target abilities to pull hostile targets away from the Overloaded! Constructs

Players should be careful to avoid multi-DoTting, cleaving, or AoEing onto the neutral Constructs

Overloaded!

There are three Arcane Beacons in this room

Players should deactivate the right Arcane Beacon after defeating the trash pack guarding it

The other two Arcane Beacons can be deactivated without pulling any trash, even without stealth

Deactivate all three Arcane Beacons before pulling Patrol Captain Gerdo to avoid generating additional adds during the encounter

Patrol Captain Gerdo Tips & StrategyFlask of the Solemn Night

Vigilant Duskwatch spawnsnear Arcane Sentry

Hinder can be a nuisanceduirng the fight

Patrol Captain GerdoSignal Beacon

Patrol Captain Gerdo will cast Signal Beacon upon reaching 75% health

Gerdo's Battle-Ready buff indicates how many Arcane Beacons are active, which determines the number of Vigilant Duskwatch adds that will be summoned

The Vigilant Duskwatch guards it summons may take several seconds to arrive, depending on the location of the active Arcane Beacons

Vigilant Duskwatch adds will affect random targets with Hinder, reducing the damage they deal

Hinder also slows movement speed, which can make it harder for players to dodge Patrol Captain Gerdo's mechanics

Hinder should be interrupted if possible, or healers can dispel the Hinder debuff

Prioritize killing the Vigilant Duskwatch adds since Hinder is a nuisance during the boss fight

Resonant Slash

Resonant Slash deals heavy damage to players caught in its area of effect

These players will also be stunned for 4 seconds

The Resonant Slash area of effect can be difficult to see in the colorful marketplace

Be sure to watch for Gerdo's cast and step to his side to avoid taking the damage and stun

Healers should dispel Resonant Slash from affected players, prioritizing the tank

StreetsweeperStreetsweeperArcane Lockdown

Each stack of Arcane Lockdown reduces the player's movement speed by 90% and inflicts periodic damage

Players may jump to remove Arcane Lockdown; each jump will strip away one stack of the debuff

This must be done quickly as the damage from 3 stacks of Arcane Lockdown is severe and the movement speed decrease makes it difficult to avoid Gerdo's other mechanics!

Arcane Lockdown is a Magic debuff so healers can dispel it, but the party cannot rely on healer dispels to remove all the debuffs

Healers should dispel themselves or a non-mobile ranged DPS target first, since melee DPS can usually jump without hindering their damage output

Arcane LockdownFlask of the Solemn Night

The Flask of the Solemn Night grants Gerdo 30% Haste and 30% increased damage until he is defeated

Healers should save their strongest cooldowns for the Arcane Lockdowns that occur while Gerdo is buffed

If a Rogue or Alchemist has poisoned the Flask of the Solemn Night, Gerdo will instantly die instead

BloodlustHeroismTime WarpFlask of the Solemn Night

Take care not to pull extra trash mobs while fighting Gerdo

Be sure to taunt any Vigilant Duskwatch adds that join the fight if all the Arcane Beacons are not deactivated

Step out of the Resonant Slash area of effect to avoid being stunned

Jump three times after Arcane Lockdown is applied

Adjust your position so you are not in line with any of the Streetsweepers

If any Beacons are left active, quickly swap to the Vigilant Duskwatch adds and kill them as they join the fight

Step out of the Resonant Slash area of effect to avoid being stunned

Jump three times after Arcane Lockdown is applied

Adjust your position so you are not in line with any of the Streetsweepers

The fight is mostly spiky single-target damage, especially on players who do not dodge the Resonant Slash or do not jump for Arcane Lockdown

Dispel the Resonant Slash stun from players so they can continue to avoid Streetsweeper

Dispel Arcane Lockdown from players who have failed to jump and are in danger of dying

Step out of the Resonant Slash area of effect to avoid being stunned

Jump three times after Arcane Lockdown is applied

Adjust your position so you are not in line with any of the Streetsweepers

Talixae Flamewreath

Talixae Flamewreath bestows the Bond of Flame

Baalgar the Watchful bestows the Bond of Cruelty

Imacu'tya bestows the Bond of Cunning

Jazshariu bestows the Bond of Strength

Players can locate and kill a Felbound Enforcer, who will cry out as he or she dies

Leatherworkers or Warriors may interact with Bazaar Goods, tripping a magical alarm

Tailors or Healers may assist a Wounded Nightborne Civilian, who shrieks and runs away upon being helped by "outsiders"

Miners or Jewelcrafters may destroy a Lifesized Nightborne Statue

Hunters or Blacksmiths can interact with Discarded Junk to fashion a trap, which makes a loud noise as it is set; if the Emissary is kited over this trap, the Emissary instantly dies

Notable Trash MobsWatchful InquisitorBlazing ImpCharging Station

Watchful Inquisitors will periodically summon Watchful Oculus familiars and command them with Searing Glare

Each Watchful Oculus will target a random player with a Searing Glare beam when the Inquisitor finishes this cast

Searing Glare should be interrupted

The Inquisitor will also cast Eye Storm, summoning five Watchful Oculus familiars to swirl around him

Over the course of 8 seconds, each Oculus in the Eye Storm will fire three beams at random players

Eye Storm cannot be interrupted, but it can be negated by stunning the Inquisitor

Shadow MistressLegion Hound

The Shadow Mistress attacks the tank with Shadow Slash, applying a debuff that reduces incoming healing by 25%

She will also attempt to Bewitch random players, reducing their movement speed and Haste

Bewitch should be interrupted, or healers can dispel the debuff from affected players

The Legion Hound will jump to a random player with Felblaze Leap, creating a Felblaze Puddle at the player's feet

Felblaze Puddle deals light to moderate periodic damage; players should move away

Legion Hounds also buff themselves with Ferocity, increasing their Haste for 6 seconds

The tank should use more powerful damage-reduction abilities when affected by Shadow Slash while Legion Hounds have Ferocity

Blazing Imps will cast Firebolt at random targets, dealing light but spiky damage

They will also channel Drifting Embers, firing off 12 bolts of flames at random targets

Prioritize interrupting Drifting Embers

Use AoE CC and stuns to keep the Blazing Imps from casting while the party kills them

Take care in pulling the Enforcer when she is not near another pack of demons

Felbound Enforcers will cast Fel Detonation, dealing moderate Fire damage to the entire party and leaving a painful DoT

Fel Detonation cannot be conventionally interrupted, though the Enforcer can be stunned or knocked back to delay the cast

The DoT falls off just before the next Fel Detonation finishes casting, so while it doesn't stack, the DoT will be active for a high portion of the fight

Healers should use powerful AoE healing, and cooldowns when necessary, to heal through this damage

Imacu'tya is always the first Emissary to respond; she will attack players with Whirling Blades

Whirling Blades will leave a bleed on players struck by it, so melee DPS and tanks should move away during its cast

Baalgar the Watchful is always the second Emissary to respond, and attacks random players with Disintegration Beam

Disintegration Beam deals heavy periodic damage to the player, so healers should respond by focusing their healing on the target

The player targeted by Disintegration Beam deals reduced damage for the duration of the channel and 10 seconds after

Jazshariu is always the third Emissary to respond, and attacks the tank with Shockwave

The Shockwave is a cone that will stun any affected players for 3 seconds

Tanks should side-step the Shockwave and other players should not be in front of Jazshariu

Talixae Flamewreath Tips & StrategyTalixae FlamewreathBurning Intensity

This cannot be interrupted, and the buff it places on her cannot be dispelled

She will reapply Burning Intensity approximately every 20 seconds, increasing her stack count by 1 with each application

The stacks increase her Fire damage by 15% per stack

This is unavoidable damage that the healer must plan around healing, and save cooldowns for later in the fight when Burning Intensity stacks are high

Withering SoulWithering SoulWithering SoulInfernal Eruption

This spell creates a pool of flames at each player's feet

After 2 seconds, the pools will erupt, dealing moderate Fire damage and knocking affected players into the air

The Infernal Eruption pools will persist for the remainder of the fight and deal moderate Fire damage to players who enter them

Infernal EruptionInfernal Imp

Infernal Imps behave like the Blazing Imps from the trash

They will target random players with Firebolt, and will channel Drifting Embers

These Imps should be quickly gathered by the tank so that the DPS can efficiently AoE them down

If they live long enough to begin casts, players should use AoE CC/stuns and interrupts

Move out of the graphic that spawns beneath your feet during Infernal Eruption

Move Talixae away from the Infernal Eruption fire spouts after they spawn, so melee do not take excessive damage

Pick up the Infernal Imps that spawn from each Infernal Eruption pool

Use defensive cooldowns at high stack counts of Burning Intensity

Move out of the graphic that spawns beneath your feet during Infernal Eruption

Once the flame spouts have spawned, do not move back into them, or you will take heavy damage and be knocked into the air

Stun/CC and quickly kill the Infernal Imps once the tank has gathered them all

Interrupt Withering Soul when possible

Outside of Burning Intensity ticks, party damage should be light if players avoid the Infernal Eruption

Tank damage can be moderate to high when Infernal Imps are active

Dispel Withering Soul if it is not interrupted, preferentially from the weakest/lowest health party members

Move out of the graphic that spawns beneath your feet during Infernal Eruption

Once the flame spouts have spawned, do not move back into them, or you will take heavy damage and be knocked into the air

Use healing cooldowns at high stack counts of Burning Intensity

Shadow Bolt Volley will strike the entire party for moderate Shadow damage, and cause all players struck to take 15% additional Shadow damage

Carrion Swarm is a frontal cone that leaves a dispellable, hard-hitting DoT on any players in its area of effect

Tanks should face Gerenth away from the party, and players should avoid standing in front of him

Gerenth will also Cripple a random player, reducing their movement and Strength by 50%, and increasing the time between attacks by 100%

Cripple is also dispellable, and healers should take special care to remove it from Strength melee DPS

ElisandeAdvisor Melandrus Tips & StrategyIn Patch 7.2, Blade Surge travels slower and shows the impact location. In addition, Slicing Maelstrom is cast less often than before.Advisor MelandrusImage of Advisor MelandrusPiercing GaleSlicing MaelstromBlade Surge

Piercing Gale deals moderate damage to players in a straight line in front of, and behind, Melandrus, and will knock them back

He is immobile while casting this ability, so tanks should side-step the damage

Slicing Maelstrom deals four bursts of mild damage to all players over four seconds

Despite its graphic, this AoE damage cannot be avoided

Finally, Melandrus will choose a ranged target for Blade Surge, rushing to them and dealing damage to all players within 5 yards

The Blade Surge damage leaves a powerful bleed on all affected players

Blade Surge

The Image of Advisor Melandrus cannot be attacked or killed

Whenever Melandrus casts Piercing Gale, all active Images of Advisor Melandrus will also cast Piercing Gale from their locations

Whenever Melandrus casts Slicing Maelstrom, all active Images of Adivsor Melandrus will also cast Slicing Maelstrom

Blade SurgeSlicing MaelstromEnveloping Winds

Enveloping Winds meander near their spawn point and stun any players they come into contact with

Move away from the clouds that indicate an Enveloping Winds cyclone is spawning soon

Watch for other Enveloping Winds that may approach from other areas of the platform

Healers should dispel the Enveloping Winds stun from affected players

Move Melandrus away from nearby Image of Advisor Melandrus and Enveloping Winds spawns

Face Advisor Melandrus away from the party, and step aside for Piercing Gale

Avoid standing in front of any version of Advisor Melandrus to avoid Piercing Gale damage

Move away from Enveloping Winds to avoid being stunned

Use strong cooldowns if you must take a Piercing Gale or during heavy Slicing Maelstrom damage

Stay spread out more than 5 yards from other players to avoid splashing Blade Surge damage

Move away from the Image of Advisor Melandrus that spawns after a Blade Surge

Avoid standing in front of any version of Advisor Melandrus to avoid Piercing Gale damage

Move away from Enveloping Winds to avoid being stunned

Use a personal damage-reduction cooldown if you have the Blade Surge bleed during Slicing Maelstrom

Quickly top up the player struck by Blade Surge, and use HoTs or efficient heals to deal with the bleed damage

Use AoE healing abilities to heal the party through early Slicing Maelstrom casts

Save powerful cooldowns for later Slicing Maelstrom casts when there are multiple Images of Advisor Melandrus active

Stay spread out more than 5 yards from other players to avoid splashing Blade Surge damage

Move away from the Image of Advisor Melandrus that spawns after a Blade Surge

Avoid standing in front of any version of Advisor Melandrus to avoid Piercing Gale damage

Move away from Enveloping Winds to avoid being stunned

Dispel Enveloping Winds from affected players

World QuestsThe NightfallenCourt of Stars: The Deceitful Student (Nightfallen)Arcanist MalrodiupdownWild MagicUncontrolled Blast

For 4 seconds after casting Wild Magic, Malrodi will fling a flurry of Arcane bolts at random locations near players

Players who stand in the area of effect will take moderate damage and be knocked away from the impact site

Keep moving to avoid taking Wild Magic damage

Uncontrolled Blast will be cast shortly after Wild Magic ends

Malrodi expels four rapid bursts of magic in a narrow cone in front of him

Players in the cone will take moderate damage with each tick, and it can be dangerous to stand in the entire effect

Malrodi is immobile while channeling the spell, so it can be dodged by the tank

Uncontrolled BlastCourt of Stars: Bring Me the Eyes (Nightfallen)VelimarShadowflame BreathMighty StompShadowflame Breath

Mighty Stomp knocks down all players within 60 yards, stunning them for 2 seconds, and dealing moderate damage

During Mighty Stomp's cast time, healers should put HoTs on the tank and any players at low health

Shadowflame Breath is a cone attack that Velimar will aim at the tank, dealing moderate damage to players in front of him

Velimar does not move during Shadowflame Breath's cast bar, so the tank (and any players in front) can side-step to dodge the attack

Players struck by Shadowflame Breath will receive a Shadowflame Breath debuff that deals light periodic damage

The Shadowflame Breath debuff should be dispelled by the healer

Thank you for all of the time and effort this took! As a fellow guide writer, I can appreciate the time investment required to make a useful and well organized guide like this one.

I thought I'd throw this in here for ease of use (for those collecting set bonuses in The Arcway and Court of Stars).

Because The Arcway and Court of Stars will only be seen at level 110, they have unique loot - there are gear pieces with 2-piece set bonuses that you can obtain!
Some more details:

There is 1 set for each armor class, as well as 2 other sets that can be equipped by any armor class.
For all sets, one piece drops in The Arcway and the other in Court of Stars

Below is a summary of the various set bonuses, including the items that bear these bonuses and the drop sources for each. Simply mouse-over a set to see the set bonus.

March of the Legion	All	Chain of Scorched Bones	Neck	Talixae Flamewreath	Court of Stars

Comment by Yutto

The professions being able to alter the instance/provide buffs is reminiscent of the Archaeology bonuses of Cata dungeons.

Great idea!

Comment by Starratiel

Players with First Aid skill can also interact with Wounded Nightborne Civilian:

Comment by KalsamRetritro

Players with Skinning may also interact with the Waterlogged Scroll, as my group found out last night.

Comment by Syncness

Spectral Sight doesn't work to find the spy.

You need to talk to all 5 NPCs for the clue, THEN Spectral Sight will work.

Comment by Betawolf33

Fyi, Rogues can interact with the bazaar goods as well. Instead of destroying them, we pilfer them, causing a magical alarm to sound and one of the boss's companions to come "investigate".

Comment by 180865

The Protection Paladin artifact Truthguard will light up when near the infiltrated demon, allowing you to at least confirm which group of nobles he's in. (it's not really precise enough to tell which noble exactly)

Comment by Serjekk

So I know Paladins with The Light Reveals and Demon Hunters with Spectral Sight can find the Demon just before Advisor Melandrus, but what about players with Illidari High Lord's Cowl, Purified Vision of Sargeras, Helm of the Betrayed, or Impenetrable Faceplate?

Comment by slickrickulous

For the world quest Wraith in the Machine, Ataxius is up the stairs to the left in the first boss courtyard (25, 15).

Comment by 1714236

I had a run where the Umbral Bloom spawned, but we had no herbalist or druid. We were having trouble with the last boss, so we ran back to double check for buffs. Our demon hunter/engineer/miner was able to get us the buff. He said it mentioned his skill with herbs, but the only thing we could think of was the herbalist shoulder enchant that he had. Although, this could have just been a bug.

Comment by arednie

Court of the Stars: Wraith in the Machine world quest identifies Ataxius to be slain along with Advisor Melandrus.

Comment by arednie

On Advisor Melandrus a guild group (Gnome Regrets on Azuremyst - all ranged + one tank), some geared well, some not, were wiping over and over using the spread out at the edges strategy which is written up everywhere.

Our warlock suggested we change and use one ranged (him) as target for the blade surge but otherwise stack on the tank in the middle. We downed him in one and very quickly, no problems with healing either. So much easier, we all hope that you find this useful.

Comment by 849270

I understand that if you sidestep Blade Surge at the very last moment, you can avoid the bleed. A hunter in our party did it consistently, it helped a lot at +10.

If you go for this trick, it is better to have a designated person for that, has to be furthest from the boss at the end of the aoe cast.

Comment by Ishaani

Maybe it's a bug or maybe the requirements changed, but since 7.1 I haven't been able to poison the Gerdo flask with around 100 in alchemy.

Comment by gaudaloht

just Found Undertale genocide secretish reference
after you kill Talixae Flamewreath (second boss) if you go back and use one of the unused diversions to summon her demons you will get the infamous Undertale genocide route reference phrase
But nobody came.

Comment by Sunreaver

Really wish they'd put this in the heroic dungeon tool or something. Only being available on Mythic sucks. Or rather, dealing with people who run Mythics sucks. One or the other... I'm not sure which.

Comment by qbus2

Shadow priest can also use fel orb

Comment by Westy543

Paladins and priests can use the fel orb, and demon hunters and warlocks can use the infernal tome.

Comment by Herwr

Can any rogue poison the flask of Patrol Captain Gerdo or is it only assassin rogues?

Comment by Ekitrak

I believe Demon Hunters are also able to activate the Infernal Tome (10% damage taken reduction). I lost a bet with a guildsmate who said that he was able to activate the tome, and I didn't believe him. For the record, he is a Blood Elf Demon Hunter with Alchemy, and Herbalism (in case it's one of those that enables activating the tome instead).

Comment by Gnorma

I am having a lot of difficulty understanding why we have a "Mythic" dungeon that cannot be accessed unless you have the special key (which you can only get by running a Mythic dungeon?) or can join a group with someone who already has the special Key. With minimal explanation available in-game, I was forced to come here to learn how to access the Arcway which seems to be central to the storyline in Surimar. Many of us are casual gamers and prefer questing to dungeons and/or we just prefer to avoid the hassle of groups of folks we do not know (i.e. pugs). I understand that Blizzard is trying to force players to link up in groups but they are also driving a lot of us away from the game. Time is too precious to waste trying to find a group to enter a particular dungeon and then, possibly/probably get kicked if you are not up someone else's gameplay standards. If you play a "glass pea-shooter (no cannon in this guy's arsenal)" class like Demonhunter, you'll probably die anyway and have to make a corpse-run through killer mobs that were not cleared earlier for the sake of beating some arbitrary timer requirement. Can the game designers be any more sadistic? If the 7.2 expansion continues to bludgeon solo-oriented players, there may not be enough folks left to ever attempt another Mythic dungeon. At least Raids offer a group experience that isn't quite as coercive and decidedly not fun--this is the point of playing a game, n'est pas?--as these mythically lame, inaccessible dungeons.

Comment by Zuckerguss

Another World Quest in this dungeon is Court of Stars: They Bloom at Night.

Comment by Whifftest

This dungeon is pure cancer

Comment by 1626235

Paladins can do fel orb too. Saw it in a m+ run today

Comment by Wrynn1

At 7.2 here was some method to kill Two Mini-Bosses using trap (Discarded Junk)

- It's still working?
- Can some1 explain how does it work properly?

Thank you in advance.

Comment by 893238

Warlocks can now activate Infernal Tome,
Cooks can activate Umbral Bloom

Comment by ingen2

Huh! noticed last time that you can interact with the flower, Umbral Bloom, without being a Druid or having Herbalism! We can interact with it using the cooking skill now!
Got 800 cooking, and the prompt looked like this.

Comment by Seafog

Court of Stars: They Bloom at Night is a dungeon world quest I just saw today.

Seems like they keep violating their own rules.
When did we last have a rollback on big numbers and levels, not so long ago. And yet here we go again. Bigger numbers, higher levels.
So, I get that they need to feed us something to maintain interest and "improving" gear, powers and levels is the standard offering, but... it's really getting samey.
