168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Vortex Pinnacle Loot

While half of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:World of Warcraft: Dragonflight's Season 2 dungeons are found on the Dragon Isles, some older instances have been revamped and added to the current system. Cataclysm's Vortex Pinnacle has received a large mechanical update and provides an interesting challenge for players, even those who are familiar with the older version.

This guide will teach you how to navigate and complete the Vortex Pinnacle dungeon. It will cover all enemy abilities and strategies, the best routಞe, and what loot you might receive from completing a key.

Ertan Trash

The layout of the Vortex Pinnacle is quite straightforward, with only linear corridors to progress down. The initial two packs can be quite annoying with all the AoE knock-ups and Cloud Shields, so take your time. Most enemies in this section are fairly low damage, so you can do some big pulls if your group has coordinated crowd co🅷ntrols and interrupts.

The major thing to watch out for in this section is the Lurking Tempests. These enemies cannot be killed and will become inert if a player is facing them, so always try to have somebody looking towards them until the group has moved past.

Enemy	Ability	Description	Strategy
Armored Mistral x4	Pressurized Blast	A large AoE zonal cost that knocks up any player int🐲o the air and deals high Natur😼e damage.	Run out of the large white AoE.
Armored Mistral x4	Cloud Guard	Projects a shield in a random direction, blocking all spells an🌄d abilities.	You will have to run around to e💝ither the side or behind this enemy, making positioning importan෴t.
Gust Soldier x6	Wind Flurry	Cast that increases these enemies' attack speed for the next three attacks.	This enemy ꦰdoes not inflict much damage even with this buff, so just cleave them down.
Gust Soldier x6	Rushing Wind	Randomly rushes at a player, dealing light Nature damage and leaving behind a Nature DoT.	Healers should try to dispel this DoT, as it will help reduce the group's overall damage taken.
Wild Vortex x8	Wind Bolt	Standard Nature damage cast.	Not an important cast.
Wild Vortex x8	Cyclone	Banishes a random player for six seconds.	Very nasty cast, as although you are immune to damage while banished, you will not be able to be freed. Try to interrupt this whenever you can.
Cloud Prince x3	Turbulence	AoE pusꦺhback that also deals light Nature damage to all 🌠players.	Try to position yourself in front of a wall, so you don't get pushed off any edges.
Cloud Prince x3	Bomb Cyclone	Summons a large AoE bomb, which inflicts huge Nature damage an✨d knocks back any player in its radius w🃏hen it explodes.	Run out of the big white swirlie.

Grand Vizier Ertan

The first boss, Ertan is a relatively simple fight reliant on being able to dodge numerous orbs. Save healing cooldowns for his Cyclone phase, and otherwise kick and dodge as much as you can. Spreading out around the arena helps to cover all the Lurking Tempests with vision.

Ability	Description	Strategy
Lightning Bolt	Cast that hits a random player for medium Nature damage.	Interrupt as many of these as you can, to help reduce anyꦯ group dama𒁏ge.
Storm's Edge	The edges and middle of the arena deal huge Nature damage to anyone standing within them.	Don't stand at the very edge, or inside the boss.
Cyclone Shield Fragment	Small lightning orbs will constantly fly around in random patterns, dealing Nature damage to anyone hit. They will also debuff the player's Haste and movement speed by 30 percent.	Dodge as much as possible. There are numer✱ous orbs, so this mechanic can be quite challenging.
Cyclone Shield	Draws all Cyclones into himself and pu♔lses AoE Nature damage to all players.	Run away from the boss to avoid the Cyclones, and then use a healing coold🍷own to heal through the damage.
Summon Tempest	Lurking Tempests will spawn at the edges of the arena.	Make sure the group is facing in different directions otherwise the Tempests will chain cast.

Altairus Trash

After Ertan is defeated, click on the large tornado at the top of his arena. There is not much trash between the first and second boss, but some of it is especially nasty. The Young Storm Dragon is a very powerful enemy, so you should try to skip the second one, as you can make up the percentage later on.

Enemy	Ability	Description	Strategy
Turbulent Squall x16	Cloudburst	Cast that damages nearby players for medium Frost damage.	Kick when you 🥃can, as this is the only real source of damage this enemy deals.
Turbulent Squall x16	Storm Shield	Applies a shield to itself, that ticks for light Nature damage while it holds.	These can be purged or dispelled, but also easily cleaved through if your group doesn't have any of those spells.
Young Storm Dragon x1	Healing Well	A large green zone, this will heal any player or enemy while they stand inside.	Players can stack up iꦺn this zone for free healing.
	Icy Buffet	Inflicts medium Frost damage to all players and leaves them with a nasty nine-second Frost DoT.	This DoT is best countered by standing inside the Healing Well, or with a healing cooldown.
	Chilling Breath	A high damage Frost frontal.	Dodge the big blue cone, even if it means moving out of the Heali♔ng Well.
Empyrean Assassin x8	Assassinate	Teleports to a random player and slashes them for medium Physical damage.	Not much counterplay, these mobs should be crowd controlled to reduce any randoꦇm damage.
Empyrean Assassin x8	Vapor Form	A three-second cast that makes this enemy Incorporeal on completion, reducing their damage taken by 90 percent.	Interrupt this every time.
Gust Soldier x1	Wind Flurry	Cast that increases these enemies' attack speed for the next three attacks.	This enemy does not inflict muc🐓h damage even with this buff, so ♑just cleave them down.
Gust Soldier x1	Rushing Wind	Randomly rushes at a player, dealing light Nature damage and leaving behind a Nature DoT.	Healers should try to dispel this DoT, as it will help reduce the group's overall damage taken.
Wild Vortex x1	Wind Bolt	Standard Nature damage cast.	Not a relevant cast.
Wild Vortex x1	Cyclone	Banishes a random player for six seconds.	A wild cast, you won't be able to be freed. You have to interrupt this.

Altairus

The second boss, Altairus is a challenging encounter, especially for your healer. The heavy movementꦬ requirement alongside co🅘nstant ticking damage makes for a difficult fight, so bring your A-game on this one. Focus on positioning around the winds and properly timing your Downburst jump.

Ability	Description	Strategy
Chilling Breath	A high damage Frost frontal.	Dodge the big blue cone.
Biting Cold	Constant Frost damage will tick onto every player.	The hardest part of this fight♚, this constant damꩲage makes Altairus a big healer check
Upwind/Downwind of Altairus	Winds will constantly blow in one of four directions. Being Upwind of𓆏 Altairus will grant you a 30 percent Haste buff while being Downwind will reduce it by 30 percent, and deal tickinಌg Frost damage to you.	The tank should pull the boss into the middle of the room to give everyone room, and all players should focus on positioning themselves Upwind of the boss at all times.
Twisting Winds	Numerous tornados will swirl around the arena, knocking up any player hit and slowing their falling speed.	Dodge these until the Downburst phase.
Downburst	Spawns a rapidly expanding bomb, that deals massive Nature damage to any player hit by its outer ring.	Run into a Twisting Wind to be knocked upꦬ and over the growing white ring.

Asaad Trash

After killing Altairus, click on the large tornado at the top of his arena, which will port you over to the last section. The following enemies can be quite tough, so focus on interrupting Greater Heal and taking down your priority targets.

The first pack of Skyfall Stars can be skipped by keeping to the right of the room and jumping down next to the staircase.

Enemy	Ability	Description	Strategy
Executor of the Caliph x4	Rally	Cast that increases the health of nearby enemies by 50 percent for 20 seconds.	This is a good cast 🧸to interrupt, as if it goes off these packs will take much longer🅘 to kill.
Executor of the Caliph x4	Crashing Stone	Stomps the ground, inflicting AoE Physical damage to all players.	Nothing much you can do about this.
Temple Adept x4	Desperate Speed	Buff that increases this enemy's casting speed, by 60 percent for 12 seconds. They will occasionall🤪y gain this duri💧ng combat.	This enemy should be nuked down and crowd-c𒊎ontrolled. Try to purge the casting spee🐭d buff.
	Greater Heal	Cas🌌t that heals an ally for 30 percent of their maximum health.	This is your priority interrupt, as you do not want them to start chain-hꦿealing all the other enemies.
	Holy Smite	Standard damage Holy cast.	Save your interrupts and crowd control for the other abi💝lities.
Servant of Asaad x8	Sure Strike	Physical damage strike to the current target.	This enဣemy will hit a player with th🌳is after charging them.
Servant of Asaad x8	Charge	Charges to a random player.	Won't do much damage so keep focused on the other enemies.
Minister of Air x2	Lightning Lash	Channels lightning to a random player, dealing huge Nature damage.	If you are targeted by this, run into the large electrical Grounding Field to avoid the damage.
Minister of Air x2	Overload Grounding Field	Channels damage into the Grounding Field, causing it to deal large Nature damage to any player standing inside.	Run out of the Grounding Field when this cast begins.
Skyfall Star x32	Starlight	Constantly fires at a random player.	꧑Nasty spell, especially as there are so many of these. Try to crowd control and nuke them down as quickly as possible.

Asaad, Caliph Of Zephyrs

The final boss is another rough one, with a high DPS requirement. Nuking the Skyfall Nova is critical as if you get two adds up at the same time your healer will struggle. Don't greed any casts during Static Cling and if you can kill t💧he add quickly enough then the rest of the encounter is simple to complete.

Ability	Description	Strategy
Chain Lightning	Blast a random player with lightning, dealing high Nature damage to them and any other player within eight🤡 ya𒆙rds.	Spread out and make sure you are not standing close to other players when this ability💧 comes out.
Static Cling	A long cast that deals high Nature damage to any player on the ground when it completes, and debuffs their movement speed by 90 percent.	Jump right at the end of this cast, and healers can dispel any player that receiv🐻es th🔯e debuff.
Unstable Grounding Field	Creates a triangular zone of safety before 🏅teleporting above it and covering the rest of the arena in lightning.	Run into the triangle to avoid any damage.
Skyfall Nova	Spawns an add, which pulses Ar🙈cane damage to all player🤪s until killed.	Nuking this add is your top priority, as it has a lot of health and can be a real problem for yꦍour healer to manag💟e.
