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 the pre-Burning Crusade skins.
