Tactics

  • Sezz'ziz first. The shadow priest casts Shadow Bolt, Mana Burn and heals, and shields

himself. While he lives the fight drags on — focus him first.

  • Interrupt his casts. Kick, Pummel or Earth Shock his heal and Mana Burn; if you can, strip

Power Word: Shield before your burst.

  • Tank holds Nekrum. He hits hard in melee — steady tank healing and sunder on armor. After

Sezz'ziz dies, finish Nekrum without rushing.

  • Conserve mana. Because of Mana Burn, the healer and casters should keep a reserve; avoid

needless exposure to shadow damage.
