Abilities

Elder Nadox periodically summons adds during the fight. Among these adds is a Guardian which when summoned causes Elder Nadox and the adds to become immune to all types of damage; to remove the immunity the group must kill the Guardian add, at which point the boss and adds will become vulnerable again. Elder Nadox also has the ability Brood Plague which diseases the enemy causing 12750 nature damage over 30 sec (normal) and 25500 nature damage over 30 sec (heroic).

Heroic

Similar to Normal, when a Guardian spawns, the boss and adds becoming invulnerable to all attacks until the Guardian is killed. This causes complications for the tank attempting to hold aggro on the adds, as a zerg rush on the healer will almost always occur. It is advised that someone be appointed to taking out the adds that aggro the healer (while they are still vulnerable) so as to make sure as few are alive as possible when the Guardian makes them immune. The tank must continuously taunt off of the healer, and perform any other actions possible with taunt or heal mechanics during this immunity, as standard tanking moves which create threat from damage are entirely useless while the Guardian is up.

After the tank has aggroed the boss, the healer should position himself at the wall behind the boss, so that the adds will need to walk a longer distance before reaching the healer.

Tactics for Various Party Configurations in Heroic Mode

Paladin tanks - Hand of Salvation, Righteous Defense, and Blessing of Protection on the healer during the invulnerable phase. If they are getting very low on hp, you may consider healing them, but it is best you keep on the boss and keep up Holy Shield.

A paladin healer nearly eliminates this difficulty in this fight, as they can Divine Shield or Blessing of Protection themselves to drop aggro on the adds.

Warriors - Put Vigilance on your healer - that way your Taunt is always on CD.
