With Phase 2 of WoW: Burning Crusade Classic we get access to the bosses in the Eye of the Storm Fortress, and among them is one of the most dangerous villains in WoW history: Kael’tha’s Sunstrider. Here are clear guides to the four bosses and the most dangerous trash opponents.
With Phase 2 of WoW: Burning Crusade Classic, the guilds of Outland are finally kicking their raid operations into high gear. While Karazhan, Gruul’s Lair, and Magtheridon’s Chamber were rather easily digestible morsels for many communities to warm up, the new challenges in the Serpentshrine Caves and Eye of the Stormwatch are much crisper.
In this guide, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about the Netherstorm raid instance, including tips and tricks for fighting Al’ar, Void Reavers, Solarians, and the final boss Kael’thas Sunwalker. If you’re looking for guides to the Serpent Shrine, you’ll find them here.
How to gain access to the Eye
As early as level 68, you can head to Shadowmoon Vale and begin the quest line for the Eye in Shadowmoon or Wildhammer Fortress. It begins for Alliance and Horde with The Hand of Gul’dan . A total of eight consecutive solo missions await you until you can finally begin the Cipher of Doom quest line with Oronok Herzeleid at Oronok’s Court in Shadowmoon Vale.
This quest line now branches into three separate strands, most of which you can master on your own. At the end, two 5-player challenges await you in The Cipher of Doom – Borak’s Attack and The Cipher of Doom.
After completing this series of quests, you will end up with Khadgar and A’dal in the city of Shattrath. From the latter, you will then receive the Naaru Trials. These are three quests in which you must defeat the respective end bosses, capture items, and save Millhouse Manastorm in the heroic dungeons Arcatraz, Shadow Maze, Vapor Vault, and Shattered Halls.
Once you’ve done all that, after a stop in A’dal, you’ll move on to Magtheridon’s Chamber, where you’ll have to send the head demon to the boards. If you manage to defeat Magtheridon, you will be rewarded with the Key of Storms, which will allow you to enter the Eye.
Raid composition and preparation
We already covered the optimal raid composition for phase 2 in a separate article, so here are just the most important key points:
Take three tanks (e.g., Protection Warrior, Wild Druid, and Protection Paladin) and one or two other potential off-tanks (e.g., a Wrath Warrior or another Wild Druid).
For Solarian, you need two “arcane” tanks. For example, two Warlocks with maximum arcane resistance can do the job.
Don’t take too many frontline soldiers, because that can make the fights against Al’ar and Kael’thas more difficult.
As for further preparation for the raid, keep in mind that for Solarian, not only the two “arcane” tanks need arcane resistance, but all players do (though not quite as much). All players who are not arcane tanks should be prepared for Solarian with the following four items:
Purple Badge : New instructions obtained through the Karazhan quest.
Pendant of the Null Rune : Can be made by a jeweler.
Cloak of Arcane Evasion : Can be made by a tailor.
Ring of Arcane Protection: Can be made by a jeweler.
These four items alone will give you 137 arcane resistance. In addition, you can put another 15 arcane resistances as an enchantment on the cloak, take the buff Food Roasted Bloodfin, and Sign of the Wild will of course provide you with resistances as well. To find out which items will give you the stats you need for your “Arcane” tanks, check out the Get your Arkanresi Gear for Solarian now guide.
