How the run goes
A fel orc breeding laboratory inside Hellfire Citadel. The Maker guards the first labs, Broggok waits behind four prison cells that open one after another, and Keli'dan the Breaker holds the last chamber, surrounded by his channelers.
Group: A tank, a healer and three damage dealers from about level 61. Shadowmoon casters and stealthed rogues fill the halls; interrupts and crowd control matter, and the Broggok gauntlet tests the healer's mana.
Map and route
1.The labs
From the entrance through the Shadowmoon halls to The Maker's laboratory.
2.The prison and the furnace
To the prison room: when you start the event, the four cells open one after another and their orcs attack, then Broggok comes out of the last. Through the gate beyond, Keli'dan the Breaker channels with five Shadowmoon Channelers.
