- Fire Nova: No cast time. Average damage while under the affect of a Paladin Fire Resistance aura is ~2,000 (25-man unknown). Range is estimated at 10 yards (25-man unknown).
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 for pre-Burning Crusade leathers.
