Tactics
- The fight starts against Grand Crusader Dathrohan; at some point he transforms into the dreadlord Balnazzar.
- Dangerous abilities: Possession (mind control a player, like the banshee — burn the possessed by health), Psychic Scream (fear/AoE — scatters the group), Mind Blast and Shadow Shock.
- Keep the formation spread against Psychic Scream near walls so feared players don't run into patrols; on Possession switch quickly to the possessed player.
Notable loot

x5 tips
- Against Psychic Scream, Fear Ward, Berserker Rage, Will of the Forsaken and Tremor Totem help — spread them across the group.
- On Possession, agree in advance who can be hit; a possessed healer is the most dangerous.
