How the run goes

A small prison under Stormwind: one corridor, two cell blocks and a boss in each cell. Quest targets matter more than loot here, so collect the quests in Stormwind first.

Group: A tank, a healer and three damage dealers around level 25. Prisoners run when hurt, so slows and stuns help.

    • Enrage

    A Defias convict in the first cell who enrages when hurt.

    Tanks
    Clear the cell first, then hold him; save a cooldown for his enrage.
    Healers
    Damage on the tank jumps when he enrages at low health; heal ahead of it.
    Damage dealers
    He frenzies near the end, so save damage cooldowns for then and burn him down fast.

    Light, steady damage on the tank; a good fight to drink a little during.

    Damage dealers
    Interrupt his spells and spread out a little so his Chain Lightning can't jump between you.

  • No key or attunement.
