Adventure Guide

A powerful elementalist with a natural affinity for shaping and channeling his powers through metal, Gor'ashan was part of the Iron Horde vanguard in their initial invasion of Azeroth.

Abilities

Power Conduit — Rune Conduits channel power to Gor'ashan, reducing damage taken by 14%, and empowers Gor'ashan to cast Thunder Cacophony.
Blade of Steel — Deals 54625 to 60375 Physical damage.
Shrapnel Nova — Inflicts 52250 to 57750 Physical damage to nearby enemies, ignoring armor.
Loadstone Spike — Magnetically charged spike erupts from the earth, inflicting 54150 to 59850 Nature damage.
Thunder Cacophony — Empowered with the energy of the Rune Conduits, Gor'ashan unleashes lightning, inflicting 14250 to 15750 Nature damage to nearby enemies.
Electric Pulse — A Lightning Orb travels between the Power Runes inflicting 21500 Nature damage every 0.8 sec to nearby enemies.

Strategy

Engage Gor'ashan on the central platform. When two rune conduits arrive along the surrounding floor below, two players should concurrently jump down to destroy each by clicking on separate ones. A single player could destroy one after another, but the task will be completed faster with two players which prevents Gor'ashan from casting Thunder Cacophony.
