Commander Vo'jak is the second boss of Siege of Niuzao Temple.

Background[]

Adventure Guide[]

What Commander Vo'jak lacks in strategic brilliance, he makes up for with raw ferocity. His devastating strikes were crucial to the mantid's exploitation of their insidious bridge, allowing them to infiltrate the island. Yet devising battle plans is for the mantid general; Vo'jak craves only blood.

Abilities[]

The Escaped Prisoners[]

The mantid captured these three Pandaren during the initial attack on Niuzao Temple, but the prisoners were able to break free of their bindings and fight back. Now they stand ready to do whatever it takes to end the siege.

  • Inv misc slime 02 Caustic Tar Important Magic Effect — Escaped prisoners, Li and Lo Chu, will position and prepare mantid tar kegs for use in the battle. Players can throw the kegs of Caustic Tar onto the battlefield. Caustic Tar inflicts on any unit standing within the tar 23,750 Nature damage, reduces movement speed by 50%, and increases damage taken by 10%. This effect stacks. The Caustic Tar also removes any effect from the target that increases movement or attack speed.

Stage One: Bring It![]

Commander Vo'jak orders his forces to attack the players.

  • Sik'thik Swarmer — Lightly armored and well trained, the Sik'thik Swarmers are a key part of the Vo'jak's forces.
  • Sik'thik Amberwing — The Sik'thik Amberwing flies to the top of the platform and bombards the players.
    • Spell shaman improvedfirenova Bombard Important — The Sik'thik Amberwing fires a volley of explosives at random enemy locations every 1.5 sec. for 15 sec. Bombard inflicts 90,000 Fire damage to all creatures within 5 yards of the targeted location.
  • Sik'thik Demolisher — Quick and volatile, these mantid carry explosive charges.
    • Spell shadow mindbomb Unstable Blast Important — The Sik'thik Demolisher carries unstable explosives and explodes when damaged or killed, inflicting 42,750 to all targets within 16 yards.
  • Sik'thik Warrior — Sik'thik Warriors slowly advance on the enemy position.

Stage Two: Your Defenses Did Not Stop Me![]

Commander Vo'jak's enters the battle as his forces near defeat at the hands of the players.

  • Paladin icon speedoflight Rising Speed — Commander Vo'jak focuses his will and determination, increasing his attack speed by 15% every 2 sec. This effect stacks.
  • Ability warrior charge Dashing Strike — Commander Vo'jak charges a random enemy player, inflicting 71,250 Physical damage to all enemies passed through. The Strike also knocks back his current target, inflicting an additional 190,000 Physical damage.
  • Ability whirlwind Thousand Blades — Immediately after using Dashing Strike, Commander Vo'jak begins to spin around and send blades outward, inflicting Physical damage to all targets within 8 yards. Thousand Blades also removes the Caustic Tar effect.

Strategy[]

This fight comes in 2 phases.

Phase 1: 4 waves of the Sik'Thik army make their way up the platform. You get kegs of tar to defend yourself with. Throw the kegs of tar near eachother and in the path that the army walks through. During the waves a Sik'Thik Amberwing bombards the platform, move out of the yellow circle to avoid damage. You can use the kegs on the adds that reach the top, be carefull not to hit your party members. Take out any of the army that reaches the top of the platform. Demolishers blow up with 1 hit and blow up any enemys that stand near them, shoot them before they reach the top.
