Tempest Keep: The Botanica

From Dual-Boxing Wiki

Level Cleared - Group Composition - Short Comment

Level 70 - 1x Protection Paladin, 1x Elemental Shaman, 1x Resto Shaman, 2x Fire Mage - ran immediately after hitting 70, skipping Thorngrin. Ignored adds on Laj and Warp-Splinter (all-out DPS strategy), but barely killed Laj before wiping to his adds.

Tips and Tactics

1. None

Bosses

Commander Sarannis

1. Has a spell to increase arcane damage taken by 1200/2400/3600. Her non-elite adds that she spawns (at 40%?) do an arcane damage attack. So either kill the adds FAST, or keep dispels up on your tank to keep that debuff off. The boss herself doesnt hit hard at all on plate.

High Botanist Freywinn

1. For a paladin tank / shaman dps team, this fight is VERY easy. Just drop 2-3 fire elementals, bloodlust, and burn the boss fast. A LB/CL rotation + the fire elementals aoe will take out the adds he spawns very quickly. When he goes immune + tranquilitys + spawns 3 (or 4?) adds, just single target the adds down and continue dps on boss. He should only last 1 tranquility if you are on top of dps.

Thorngrin the Tender

1. Can be skipped if you are having trouble.
2. Set your DPSers and healer in a wide semicircle centered on the boss.
3. Have your tank engage the boss in the middle of the room, so that if his Hellfire AOE goes off, you can run backwards to his starting location to get out of it, and all your DPS should already be clear of it.
4. If one of your guys gets Sacrificed, let them die unless they're the healer. You can get him down with just 4 up easily enough.

Laj

1. Can be skipped if you are having trouble. Engage Laj from the floor level, don't go up on the platform. Position group so you can see Laj and the two spawn areas. Pull Laj down to floor, standard fight. When he teleports back to his starting location, dps down the adds. Laj will come back down to you. Repeat until he is dead. Easy.

Warp Splinter

1. Again, a pally/shamans group for this boss is very easy. Fire elementals + bloodlust, and ensure that your casters are at least 30+ yards away from where you are tanking the boss (due to aoe war stomp). DPS as fast as you can, collect loots.
