The Warpblade Tunnels, a Grade 5 instanced dungeon for 6 players, are nestled deep beneath the city of Altdorf. This dungeon is designed for players of Rank 40 and above and offers Sentinel Armor and Weapons as key loot.
Boss Encounters
Bruak
Bruak is a formidable melee opponent with the following abilities:
- Crushing Blow: A potent single-target melee attack.
- Slam: A frontal cone attack that deals damage and knocks back affected players.
- Frightening Roar: An area-of-effect (AoE) ability that drains Action Points (AP) from all players within a 250-unit radius.
Grey Seer Quol’tik
The final boss, Grey Seer Quol’tik, utilizes dangerous magical abilities:
- Warp Energy: A direct damage bolt spell.
- Defile Ground: This spell targets a random player’s location, causing the ground to become diseased. It pulses with area-of-effect (PBAE) damage for 45 seconds before dissipating.
Stage Mechanics:
- 90% Health Threshold: Once Grey Seer Quol’tik’s health drops below 90%, he will begin to spawn Warped Growths.
- Warped Growth: If a Warped Growth is left unattended by players for too long, it will transform into a Warped Tentacle.
- Warped Tentacle: These tentacles will randomly launch globs of spit at players throughout the room, dealing damage.
Master Moulder Skror
Master Moulder Skror is a supporting boss with a crucial healing ability:
- Warp Healing: A Point Blank Area of Effect (PBAE) heal that affects allies within his range.
Skiv Redwarp
Skiv Redwarp is a stealthy and agile opponent, employing hit-and-run tactics:
- Skiv Blade Dance: A channeled PBAE ability that deals increasing damage with each swing. Players should immediately move out of his PBAE range when he initiates this ability.
- Skiv Shadow Smoke: This ability performs a PBAE knockback, teleports Skiv to a random location in the room, and applies stealth. He will then choose a random target to attempt a Shadow Strike.
- Throwing Star: Every 5 seconds, Skiv throws stars that deal AoE damage and interrupt casting.
- Shadow Strike: A very high-damage attack delivered from stealth.
Stage Mechanics:
- Attack from the Shadows: Skiv will ideally remain stealthed until he attacks from the shadows, delivering a significant burst of damage with his initial strike.
- Blade Dance: During his Blade Dance, players must quickly move away from Skiv to avoid the escalating AoE damage.
- Shadow Smoke: Approximately every 20-30 seconds, Skiv will deploy smoke bombs, resetting his aggro, re-stealthing, and teleporting to a new random location in the room to resume his attacks.
Warlock Peenk
Warlock Peenk’s encounter revolves around managing dangerous Warp Bombs:
- Warp Energy: A single-target ranged nuclear spell.
- Warp Fusion: This debuff infuses a player with Warp Energy. Any Warp Bomb in close proximity to a player with this debuff will explode.
- Warp Bombs: Warlock Peenk’s room is filled with these bombs. They will only detonate if a player affected by the “Warp Fusion” debuff is near them. Detonation causes 2000 PBAE damage and a knockback to all nearby players.
- Dropping Warp Bombs: Every 20 seconds during combat, Peenk will summon a new Warp Bomb. If these are triggered, they will also deal 2000 damage and a knockback.
