Revision as of 09:30, 10 January 2011

Objectives

Witness the continuing story of the Battlemaiden by using her broken blade at the site of the Kvaldir General's death.

Witness the Contuing Story of the Battlemaiden

Description

Look, I know this is asking a lot during a time like this, but I need you to tear yourself away from this defeat for a moment.

I will tend to these soldiers - you will need to find the location of that battle with the Kvaldir General to the west that you told me about. You should be able to glimpse more of the Battlemaiden's experiences from there. I have a strong feeling that the key to defeating these naga will lie with that Battlemaiden.

Please hurry - I will do everything I can to buy you time.

Rewards

You will be able to choose one of these rewards
	[Battlemaiden's Vision]			[Grips of the Kvaldir]
	[Kvaldir Battle Standard]			[Ancient Beth'moran Cloak]

You will also receive: 31 20

Progress

I know it's a hard request to heed - a whim in a time of dire consequences. You just have to trust me. More than anything right now, we need to know why the naga are here and what they are capable of.

Completion

You've finished! Just in time. I don't think we could have held them much longer.

An artifact? Could this be something we can use against the naga? I suppose that we would require finding it.

We may have to attend to more pressing matters first, until an opportunity to pursue this further presents itself.

Notes

Swim due west through the tunnel to the site of the general's death. There's another big glowing ball there now, a second Vision of the Battlemaiden, at ^{[28.9, 78.7]}. Use the [Blade of the Naz'jar Battlemaiden] at the time focus to resume the storyline. Details are in the By Her Lady's Word article, the quest offered by Lady Naz'jar.

When you enter the vision, Lady Naz'jar speaks:

Lady Naz'jar says: The Kvaldir have been purged from the city. Now we begin our preparations.

Lady Naz'jar says: Battlemaiden, I have a task that requires your attention.

when you return from the vision (likely on the conclusion of The Culmination of Our Efforts):

Wavespeaker Valoren says: Thank the waves, you're back! The others have already retreated, we need to get out of here!

Wavespeaker Valoren will be accompanied by a few of the surviving Alliance Attack Volunteers.

-'''Nalorakk''' is the [[Amani]] lord of [[bear]]s. He is one of the four animal bosses in the [[Zul'Aman]] [[instance]]. He guards the cage containing the troll male, [[Tanzar]] as part of the [[Zul'Aman Timed Event]].

+Witness the continuing story of the Battlemaiden by using her broken blade at the site of the Kvaldir General's death.
-When the raid first comes down the opening stairs and around the corner south towards Nalorakk, he is visible standing on a ledge with Troll guards. As the raid moves to Nalorakk to engage him, he will send the guards around him against the raid and retreat to a further platform.  He will send a total of four waves, and retreat three times. This behaviour is scripted, thus it's hard to get out of combat other than killing the mobs quickly. The script resets only when every raid member is either out of the instance or dead.
+*Witness the Contuing Story of the Battlemaiden
+== Description ==
-The four waves get increasingly difficult. The first two consist of Trolls, three in the first and four in the second wave. These trolls are some combination of [[Amani'shi Warrior]], [[Amani'shi Axe Thrower]] and [[Amani'shi Medicine Man]]. The 3rd wave consists of two [[Amani'shi Warbringer]], the fourth is two [[Amani'shi Warbringer]] and two Trolls.

-On the last wave, the trolls flanking the Warbringers can be crowd controlled ([[Polymorph]], [[Freezing Trap]], [[Fear]], or [[Mind Control]]).  The Warbringers each need their own tank and should be tanked away from one another to avoid their Furious Roar, which increases damage taken by 25% and stacks up to 200%. They also have an enrage ability that increases each other's attack speed by 30%. Both these effects can be avoided by keeping them far enough apart. At low health (20-25%), the trolls will dismount their bears.  After dismounting, mount and rider become vulnerable to crowd control.

-* Surge: An Attumen-like [[Charge]] ability, hits plate ~1500, hits cloth ~3500
-* Brutal Swipe: A cleave-like ability which does 11-14k damage on plate (~30k unmitigated); can be divided evenly between two targets

-[[Image:EjemploNalorakkBear.jpg|thumb|Nalorakk in [[Bear Form]]]]
-* Lacerating Slash: Bleeding for 1735 damage every 2 sec. (18 sec duration)
-* Rend Flesh: Bleeding for 2335 damage every 1 sec. (5 sec duration)
-* Deafening Roar: Deals 1235 to 1365 physical damage and silences enemies for 2 sec
-== Strategy ==
+== Completion ==
+You've finished! Just in time. I don't think we could have held them much longer.
-The fight is primarily a healing/tanking check whose main challenges are handling the brutal swipe, keeping tanks topped off during silences, and tank transitioning correctly to avoid Mangled bleeds on a single tank.
+An artifact? Could this be something we can use against the naga? I suppose that we would require finding it.
-Nalorakk alternates between his troll form and his bear form. Two tanks should be used, one for each of Nalorakk's forms.  Each tank must taunt Nalorakk off of the previous tank as soon as he switches forms, so that one tank stacks [[Mangle]] debuffs and the other has the bleed effects. Taunt needs to be timed precisely, as even a single debuff on the bear form tank can result in a dead tank (during a silence for example).
+We may have to attend to more pressing matters first, until an opportunity to pursue this further presents itself.
-Both tanks should stand in front of Nalorakk during troll phase so that his Brutal Swipe cleave is split between both. The primary tank for the bear phase can stand slightly closer to ensure the cleave is split. An unsplit Brutal Swipe on a single target normally kills it.
+== Notes ==
-Nalorakk does not reset aggro when he transforms, so DPS can continue through transitions.
+Swim due west through the tunnel to the site of the general's death. There's another big glowing ball there now, a second [[Vision of the Battlemaiden]], at {{coords|28.9|78.7|Shimmering Expanse}}. Use the [[Blade of the Naz'jar Battlemaiden]] at the time focus to resume the storyline. Details are in the {{quest|By Her Lady's Word}} article, the quest offered by {{NPC||Lady Naz'jar}}.
+When you enter the vision, Lady Naz'jar speaks:
-Healers should focus on endurance for this longer fight. Heals over time (HoTs) are important throughout the fight and especially during Bear Form, when the Deafening Roar silences the raid for 2 seconds. Fast heals immediately after the roar can also help prevent tank death.  It works well to assign two healers to Nalorakk's current tank and an off-healer to top-off a wounded or bleeding previous tank as well as heal raid members who have just been Surged.  A full stack of [[HoT]]s greatly decreases the pain of silence (even HoTs of a feral druid).

-* All bleed effects can be removed by [[Stoneform]], [[Blessing of Protection]], [[Ice Block]] or [[Divine Shield]]
-*Nalorakk is the only NPC that is left-handed: he wields his cleaver in his left hand and buckler in his right.
-*Use [[Amplify Magic]], Nalorakk does not use any magic attacks.
-*Brutal swipe can be dodged.
-*Larger races such as tauren have a much larger hitbox which may cause you to eat the entire brutal swipe. This is resolved with a simple change in profile such as eating savory deviate delight.
-*If using a Druid Tank on Troll form, have them shift and toss a couple HoTs on OT to assist healers (just make sure he does not die due to a Brutal swipe!).
-*Killing this boss will add 15 minutes to the sacrifice timer (see the [[Zul%27Aman_timed_event#Loot|Zul'Aman timed event]] article).
-*Be aware that if he uses silence and then transforms from bear to troll, the troll tank won't be able to taunt the Boss immediately.
