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.

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.
