== Objectives ==

:"''Baleroc stands before the gate to [[Sulfuron Keep]], amidst a river of combustion that serves as the Sulfuron moat. The bridge to Ragnaros’s blistering chamber can only be crossed by those who find a way to put an end to this towering elemental monstrosity.<ref>[http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/2682944#blog Patch 4.2 Preview: The Firelands]</ref>''
 
  +
Slay 6 [[Fiery Behemoth]]s or [[Seething Pyrelord]]s.
  +
*Invader slain at [[Sethria's Roost]] x6
   
  +
== Description ==
−
'''Baleroc''' earned a reputation as a merciless combatant during the elemental wars of ancient Azeroth. Now that he is confined to the Firelands, Baleroc's sanity has dwindled. Few elementals dare disturb him, fearful that they will become victim to his battle lust.<ref>[[Encounter Journal]]</ref>
 
  +
We need to place pressure on the assault camp at [[Sethria's Roost]]. [[Ragnaros]]' minions are using this area as a point to push their battlefront beyond the bounds of [[Mount Hyjal|Hyjal]]. I'm putting you in charge of a small squad to deal with them.
   
  +
I have selected an elite group of fighters to assist you. Travel to Sethria's Roost. Your compatriots have been instructed to meet you once you arrive. Then put an end to the elementals' assault.
−
==Abilities==
 
−
*{{abilities|Blaze of Glory|Baleroc's assault periodically awakens a burning spark within his current target, increasing the target's physical damage taken by 20%, but also raising their maximum health by 20%. Every time Baleroc applies Blaze of Glory, he gains an application of Incendiary Soul.|image=ABILITY_MAGE_LIVINGBOMB}}
 
−
**{{abilities|Incendiary Soul|Every time Baleroc applies Blaze of Glory, he gains an application of Incendiary Soul, increasing his Fire damage dealt by 20%.|id=99369|image=ability_mage_firestarter}}
 
   
  +
== Rewards ==
−
*{{abilities|Shards of Torment|Baleroc summons a crystal amongst his foes, which continually channels a shadowy beam on the nearest player. In 25 player raids, Baleroc summons two crystals.|image=INV_JEWELCRAFTING_SHADOWSONGAMETHYST_01}}
 
  +
You will receive: [[Mark of the World Tree]] x2 and {{cost|18|80}}
−
**{{abilities|Torment|The Shard of Torment inflicts 4000 Shadow damage per application to the nearest player, stacking once per second.|id=99256|image=spell_shadow_twistedfaith}}
 
−
**{{abilities|Tormented|When Torment fades from a player, they are afflicted by the Tormented effect, which increases their Shadow damage taken by 250% and reduces the player's healing done by 50% for 40 sec. Direct melee contact with any other player will apply a fresh copy of the Tormented effect to that player.|id=99257|image=spell_shadow_gathershadows}}
 
−
**{{abilities|Wave of Torment|If no player stands within 15 yards of a Shard of Torment, the Shard pulses this effect, inflicting 15000 Shadow damage each second to all players.|id=99261|image=spell_fire_twilightnova}}
 
−
**{{abilities|Vital Spark|If a player casts a direct heal on someone being damaged by Torment, the healer gains an application of Vital Spark for each three stacks of Torment on the target. Casting a single-target direct heal on a target affected by Blaze of Glory will trigger Vital Flame.|id=99262|type=healer|image=inv_elemental_mote_fire01}}
 
−
***{{abilities|Vital Flame|Vital Flame increases healing done to targets affected by Blaze of Glory by 5% per stack of Vital Spark consumed, lasting for 15 sec. When Vital Flame expires, it restores the Vital Spark stacks consumed to create the effect.|id=99263|type=healer|image=inv_elemental_primal_fire}}
 
   
  +
== Progress ==
−
*{{abilities|Blades of Baleroc|Baleroc periodically empowers one of his blades with Shadow or Fire energy, and wields it alone for 15 sec.}}
 
  +
I believe your assignment requires you to be in Hyjal, <race>.
−
**{{abilities|Decimation Blade|Baleroc's melee strikes do no Physical damage but instead inflict Shadow damage equal to 90% of the target's maximum health, but always at least 250000 damage. This damage cannot be resisted or mitigated. Baleroc's time between attacks increases by 100% while this effect is active.|id=99353|image=spell_shadow_curse}}
 
−
**{{abilities|Inferno Blade|Baleroc's melee strikes do no Physical damage but instead inflict 100000 Fire damage.|id=99351|image=inv_sword_09}}
 
   
  +
== Completion ==
−
*{{abilities|Countdown|Baleroc links two players to each other for 8 sec. If the chosen players move within 4 yards of each other, the effect dissipates harmlessly. If the effect runs its full course, then both players explode, inflicting 100000 Fire damage to all players within 100 yards.|type=heroic|image=SPELL_NATURE_TIMESTOP}}
 
  +
A job well done, soldier. While our mission in the Firelands is critical, we must not forget about the well-being of Hyjal.
   
  +
Speak with my brother again tomorrow, and he will have another squad prepared for you.

==Strategy==

===Tanking===
+
==Gains==
  +
You will receive:
−
 
  +
*86750 XP (or {{coppercost|206700}} at max level)
−
Baleroc is a 2-tank fight with a Blaze tank and a Decimation tank.
 
  +
*+350 reputation [[Guardians of Hyjal]]
   
  +
== Notes ==
−
The Decimation Blade mechanic motivates you to have one tank who has a
 
  +
Head back to the [[Sanctuary of Malorne]] to pick up this quest. Return to [[Malfurion's Breach]] on the [[Molten Front]] to turn in.
−
little over 250K health so that he can survive Decimation Blade. The
 
−
other tank will gain stacks of Blaze of Glory which will eventually
 
−
cause him to have much more health.
 
   
  +
Sethria's Roost has been taken over by level 85 elite [[Fiery Behemoth]]s and [[Seething Pyrelord]]s with 774k health.
−
The Decimation tank should start the pull and stack Blaze of Glory
 
−
till he has over 250K health. At this point the Blaze tank can wait
 
−
for safe time (not during an impending Decimation Blade) and taunt off
 
−
the Decimation tank.
 
   
  +
The Fiery Behemoths have the following abilities:
−
If the Blaze tank were struck with Decimation Blade late in the fight
 
  +
*{{abilities|Fire Nova|Inflicts Fire damage to nearby enemies.|notes=1.5 sec cast. Interruptible. Knockback. Hits for 8300-9500 Fire in a roughly 10-yard radius around the caster.}}
−
he would suffer much more than 250K damage, causing unnecessary load
 
  +
*{{abilities|Fiery Boulder|range=150|Throws a massive boulder, dealing 40500 to 49500 damage and knocking back nearby enemies.|notes=1 sec cast. Thrown at the player. It has a few seconds of travel time, so get out of the shadow on the ground before it lands.}}
−
on the healers.
 
   
  +
The Seething Pyrelords have the following abilities:
−
Conversely, if the Decimation tank were struck by Inferno Blade, he
 
  +
*{{abilities|Chain Fireball|Hurls a fireball at the enemy, dealing 1429 to 1661 Fire damage and then jumping to additional nearby enemies. Affects 5 total targets.|range=40|notes=Instant.}}
−
might not have enough health to survive the Incendiary-Soul -augmented
 
  +
*{{abilities|Flame Shock|Instantly burns an enemy, then inflicts additional Fire damage every 3 sec. for 12 sec.|notes=Instant. ~8500 Fire initial hit, then ticks for ~1495 Fire every 3 sec after that.}}
−
damage.
 
  +
*{{abilities|Reflective Shield|Wraps the caster in a shield that lasts up to 8 sec, reflecting any absorbed damage back onto the attacker.|note=2 sec cast. Interruptible. A protector will yell the following when this is cast:}}
  +
**{{text|yell|Don't attack it while the shield is up!}}

=== The Hyjal Protector party ===
−
The tank swap might remind raiders of the [[Chimaeron]] Break/DA tank
 
  +
Players will not have to solo these elites. Upon landing in Sethria's Roost, players will receive a group of 4 NPCs including 3 [[Hyjal Protector]]s, taking the role of bear, cat and caster, and a random one from the following 40:

===Shards of Torment===
 
   
  +
Winning a duel in [[Sethria's Roost]] while on this quest rewards the achievement [[Gang War]].
−
Baleroc drops Shards of Torment: 1 in 10-man, 2 in 25-man.
 
   
  +
== Quest progression ==
−
If no one is near a Shard of Torment, it inflicts Wave of Torment upon
 
  +
{{Firelands invasion part two}}
−
the entire raid. Do not let this happen. When players are in range
 
−
of a shard the closest one gets stacked with Torment.
 
−
''Healers never ever want to get Torment'',
 
−
because the Tormented debuff that follows
 
−
halves their healing performed.
 
   
  +
== Patches and hotfixes ==
−
The stacks of Torment cause increasing shadow damage. The shard
 
  +
*{{Patch 4.2.0|note=Added.}}
−
"tank" wants to let Torment stack as high as possible before running
 
−
away and letting another DPS "tank" the shard. The high stacks of
 
−
Torment allow healers to stack Vital Spark faster.
 
−  
−
Once a player has stopped tanking a shard, they will eventually lose
 
−
their Torment and gain Tormented instead. Tormented increases shadow
 
−
damage taken, meaning it would be a really bad idea for a Tormented
 
−
player to get any Torment stacks until the Tormented has fallen off.
 
−
This means that DPS will have to take turns tanking the shard.
 
−  
−
===Healing===
 
−  
−
Healers can be divided into two teams. One team will heal the boss
 
−
tank while the other team heals the shard tanks suffering from the
 
−
Torment debuff.
 
−  
−
Using direct heals (not AoE) (do HoTs count?) on a player with Torment
 
−
stacks Vital Spark.
 
−  
−
When a healer with Vital Spark casts a heal on a player with Blaze of
 
−
Glory (either of the boss tanks) then it converts spark stacks to
 
−
Vital Flame, increasing healing done to the Blaze of Glory player.
 
−  
−
After 15 seconds the Vital Flame will convert back to a Vital Spark
 
−
(what happens to any Vital Sparks that might have been added during
 
−
the Vital Flame duration? perhaps they are overwritten, forcing
 
−
healers to focus on each role in turn).
 
−  
−
Once the Vital Flame ends the healing teams should swap duties. The
 
−
ones that were previously stacking Vital Spark by healing Torment
 
−
victims should start healing the boss tanks and activate their Vital
 
−
Flame. The ones that were healing the boss tanks should start healing
 
−
Torment victims and stack more Vital Sparks.
 
−  
−
===Countdown===
 
−  
−
If you are a Countdown victim, move to the other player and hold still
 
−
until the debuff falls off. If you fail to do this, or move too
 
−
slowly, (or run away too soon), you will both explode and do massive
 
−
damage to most of your teammates.
 
−  
−
===soft enrage===
 
−  
−
This fight has a soft enrage where Baleroc's stacking of Incendiary Soul
 
−
will eventually outpace the healers stacking Vital Spark and enable
 
−
him to overpower the tanks.

Objectives

Slay 6 Fiery Behemoths or Seething Pyrelords.

Description

We need to place pressure on the assault camp at Sethria's Roost. Ragnaros' minions are using this area as a point to push their battlefront beyond the bounds of Hyjal. I'm putting you in charge of a small squad to deal with them.

I have selected an elite group of fighters to assist you. Travel to Sethria's Roost. Your compatriots have been instructed to meet you once you arrive. Then put an end to the elementals' assault.

Rewards

You will receive: Inv misc markoftheworldtree [Mark of the World Tree] x2 and 18g 80s

Progress

I believe your assignment requires you to be in Hyjal, <race>.

Completion

A job well done, soldier. While our mission in the Firelands is critical, we must not forget about the well-being of Hyjal.

Speak with my brother again tomorrow, and he will have another squad prepared for you.

Gains

You will receive:

Notes

Head back to the Sanctuary of Malorne to pick up this quest. Return to Malfurion's Breach on the Molten Front to turn in.

Sethria's Roost has been taken over by level 85 elite Fiery Behemoths and Seething Pyrelords with 774k health.

The Fiery Behemoths have the following abilities:

  • Fire Nova — Inflicts Fire damage to nearby enemies. 1.5 sec cast. Interruptible. Knockback. Hits for 8300-9500 Fire in a roughly 10-yard radius around the caster.
  • Fiery Boulder 150 yd range — Throws a massive boulder, dealing 40500 to 49500 damage and knocking back nearby enemies. 1 sec cast. Thrown at the player. It has a few seconds of travel time, so get out of the shadow on the ground before it lands.

The Seething Pyrelords have the following abilities:

  • Chain Fireball 40 yd range — Hurls a fireball at the enemy, dealing 1429 to 1661 Fire damage and then jumping to additional nearby enemies. Affects 5 total targets. Instant.
  • Flame Shock — Instantly burns an enemy, then inflicts additional Fire damage every 3 sec. for 12 sec. Instant. ~8500 Fire initial hit, then ticks for ~1495 Fire every 3 sec after that.
  • Reflective Shield — Wraps the caster in a shield that lasts up to 8 sec, reflecting any absorbed damage back onto the attacker.
    • Don't attack it while the shield is up!

The Hyjal Protector party

Players will not have to solo these elites. Upon landing in Sethria's Roost, players will receive a group of 4 NPCs including 3 Hyjal Protectors, taking the role of bear, cat and caster, and a random one from the following 40:
