Adventure Guide
The pragmatic General Pa'valak does not fear the pandaren or their allies, and he does not differentiate between using his own might and that of his mantid armies to defeat his enemies. Victory is the only honor he seeks, and Pa'valak will not tolerate failure should his minions fall short of their goal.

Strategy
General Pa'valak will throw his weapon at a random party member and then charge after it. Move away from the weapon and move out of his charging path.
He casts Tempest which deals nature damage and negates the first 30.000 healing done. It's impossible to avoid so as a healer you need to be aware of this.
Pa'valak casts a shield over himself at 65% and 35% health. Bombs fall down and adds spawn. The shield absorbs 1.000.000 dmg.
DPS should use the bombs to get the shield down, tank may use extra bombs for adds. Bombs arm themselves after 3 seconds and explode after another 3 seconds. Either use all the bombs or make sure to move away from them.
