Mana Tombs (64-66)



Pandemonius
Pandemonius is a huge voidwalker and is the first boss in the Mana Tombs wing of Auchindoun
Level (Normal): 66 Elite
Level (Heroic): 72 Elite
Type: Demon

Abilities
Void Blast – 800-1800 AoE Bolts, deals physical damage to everyone within range, damage is reduced by armor, also has a knock back effect and comes in a single and sometimes a double wave of bolts.
Shadow Shield – Reflects all spells and when hit with melee attack deals 750-900 damage. (Visually it is a green half circle on the bottom and top of him)
Melee – Purely shadow damage, deals about 700-1000 before resists.

Strategy
Since Pandemonius is shadowy in nature you should have Shadow protection from a priest or a Shadow Resistance Aura from a paladin in place before pull. Of course shadow resist pots & gear will help here also. The tank can pull Pandemonius to the SE corner of the room and tank him with their back against the wall to avoid trouble with the Void Blast’s knock back. Before the pull you will need to figure where the healers and other ranged dps classes will stand, to make sure healers have line of sight on the tank. The candle about 15 yards west of the corner that the tank will have Pandemonius is a great spot to stand; you will have los and will help in avoiding the knockback of the Void Blast.
This fight is not that tough, the thing that makes you succeed or fail is the Shadow Shield. All dps should cut including the tank, learn to cut dps during his Shadow Shield and you will be staring at his corpse in no time!

Tavarok
Tavarok is a light blue colossus, he is the 2nd boss in the Mana Tomb wing of Auchindoun
Level (Normal): 66 Elite
Level (Heroic): 72 Elite
Type: Giant

Abilities
Melee – Hits for about 450-600 damage.
Arcing Smash
Earthquake – Stuns all within 40 yard range for 3 seconds, dealing about 900 damage each second.
Crystal Prison – Randomly targets a party member, lasts 5 seconds dealing 10% health loss each second.

Strategy
Tank and spank, not much strategy comes in to play with this guy aside from just pummeling him. Hunters and mages can avoid his earthquake ability if they have the increased range talents. His Crystal Prison seems to be completely random but alone will not kill anyone and he does not spam it.
Warlock's can enslave the Nexus Terror in front of Tavarok and use it to tank him, Tavarok has poor damage output and probably will not get the Nexus Terror down to even 50% health before he dies.

Nexus-Prince Shaffar
Nexus-Prince Shaffar is the final boss in the Mana Tombs wing of Auchindoun
Level (Normal): 66 (Elite)
Level (Heroic): 72 (Elite)
Type: Humanoid

Abilities
Fireball – basic fireball, 1250-1650 damage.
Frostbolt – basic frostbolt, 900-1200 damage
Frost Nova – basic frost nova, about 550 damage.
Blink – basic blink
Summons Ethereal Beacons throughout the fight.

Strategy
When you get close to him the first thing you will see is 3 non-elite Ethereal Beacons, these need to die IMMEDIATELY. They hit rather hard, have good spell damage. If left alive they will turn into an elite Ethereal Apprentice, basically the same thing as the Beacon but takes a long time to kill.
Send the tank in first, all dps on the 3 Beacons; he will summon them throughout the fight. When he summons additional beacons they need to be killed ASAP. Keep the tank on the Prince always and dps goes in when no beacons are up, he will Frost Nova and blink often, his strategy is pretty basic. The worst part of this encounter is the first few seconds because all 3 beacons and the Prince focus fire on whoever pulls, if we kill the initial 3 beacons and have not lost anyone we are in good shape to have a boss kill in the next few minutes.
This guy has a lot of spell attacks so the Spell Reflect ability is very useful.
