The Manna Tombs Strategy for World of Warcraft

The Manna Tombs is the first instance you come to in Auchindoun. This dungeon has 3 bosses. Here are the strategies to defeating these bosses.

Pandemonius

The first boss is Pandemonius. He is an armored void walker with no physical attack. His normal attacks are magic and deal 650-900 shadow damage.

Pandemonius also has two extra skills. This first is Void Blast. This does a knock back ability that deals 1663-2137 shadow damage every five seconds. The second skill is Dark Shell. This spell reflects harmful spells back to the caster.

To tank this fight, have the tank keep his back to a wall. This will keep him from getting thrown by the Void Blast.

All other players need to keep their backs to a wall outside of Pandemonius’ range to avoid the knock back. The Void Blast can be avoided with Iceblock, Spell Reflect, or Grounding Totem. Using these will make it easy to defeat Pandemonius.

Tavarok

The second boss is Tavarok. This is a simple fight because he doesn’t hit very hard, though he does have two ability’s that can be a problem. The first is Earthquake, during which all players in range take 918-1181 damage and are stunned for five seconds with a 35 yard range. The second and most deadly ability is Crystal Prison. This deals damage equal to 10% of the targets life every second. It is cast on a random player and last for five seconds. As long as the party’s health is above 50% then this shouldn’t be much of a problem.

To win the fight, have the tank aggro Tavarok and hold him 36-40 yards from the healer. Put all DPS on Tavarok, with ranged players placed out of the range of the Earthquake ability.

This fight will be hardest on the healer since it’s their job to keep everyone above 50% health.

Nexus-Prince Shaffar

The last boss in the Manna Tombs is Nexus-Prince Shaffar. He has several ability’s to be aware of:

· Fireball- This inflicts fire damage for 1272-1725.
· Frostbolt- This does frost damage for 978-1322 and slows the player for four seconds.
· Frost Nova- This roots you to the ground for up to six seconds and inflicts frost damage for 744-956.
· Blink- This is just like the mage blink. It teleports Nexus-Prince Shaffar forward. Blink removes any slowing, or immobilizing effects players have put on him.

The fight is an endurance fight. To start, Nexus-Prince Shaffar has three adds. The adds must be killed while the tank grabs aggro on the prince. If the adds are not killed in a set amount of time then they will spawn harder adds.

Once the adds are killed, all damage goes to the boss. Since this boss’ attacks are all magic, he does not hit very hard. Spell reflect or high magic resist is good for this fight.

As long as the adds are killed quickly and consistently, this fight should be no problem for experienced players. If you would like to learn more about World of Warcraft strategy, you may want to read the Team Idemise Guide.
