2nd Sunwell Gate Opened

News | April 29, 2008 (2 months, 3 weeks ago) | by Kody | Filed in World of Warcraft

The second gate in Sunwell Plateau opened today during maintenance, meaning the US realms now have access to the M'uru encounter -- the fifth encounter in the zone -- leaving only Kil'jaeden himself left unchallenged.

So what can raids encountering M'uru expect? Here's some quick info on the M'uru encounter:

  • Negative Energy -- Black beam frequently used on multiple targets. (~1k damage)
  • Darkness -- This ability creates a large void zone which deals around 3000 shadow damage per second and spawns several Dark Fiends.
  • Summons Shadowsword Berseker (Physical damage) and Shadowsword Fury Mage (Spellcaster; fire spells)
  • Summons Void sentinel -- a large voidwalker that hits very hard (8-9k) and has a Shadow Pulse ability (AoE) which deals about 3-4k shadow damage. 8 Void Spawn appears upon a Void sentinel death.
  • When M'uru dies, Entropius -- a large void fiend -- spawns and you must kill him to defeat the entire encounter.

Once progress is made on M'uru we'll update this article with any details undiscovered on the PTR.

Okay, as a tank, I'm really happy that Sunwell is a 25-man zone--I couldn't quite possibly handle the add from THAT. *chuckles*

Have fun, and don't forget your Shadow Prot gear!
