Strategies[]
- The aggro radius of the Warder is quite large. Groups should prepare for combat at the front of the instance before engaging the Warder.
- Healers should prepare to provide AOE healing to all melee in range of Fire Nova.
- Standard rules apply to reduce cleave damage.
- Four Warders patrol through the area. It's advised that targets be pulled back far enough to reduce stacking multiple Warders.
Notes[]
While their loot tables have been updated, they are still can only be skinned for pre-Burning Crusade leathers.
