Well of Eternity Dungeon Guide
Well of Eternity is the third of three dungeons added in during Phase Four of Cataclysm as an introduction to the new raid, Dragon Soul. Here players will go on a journey to uncover the needed information to challenge Deathwing himself.
Introduction
Well of Eternity is the second of the three new dungeons that introduces Dragon Souls story-line, involving Thrall contacting the Dragon Aspects for aid in uncovering Deathwing's nefarious plans. In this dungeon players will race against the clock to stop the invading demons from corrupting the Well of Eternity. You must have first completed End Time in order to enter this dungeon.
Well of Eternity is located in the Caverns of Time zone, inside Tanaris. All three of the new dungeons can be found in this zone, allowing the player to complete the entire quest chain quickly between all three dungeons.
Peroth'arn
Peroth'arn has a few special abilities to be mindful of.
Corrupting Touch is a stacking debuff applied to the tank,
increasing damage taken per stack.
Fel Flames will appear in
various locations throughout the room, dealing damage to all players in the area
and should be avoided.
Fel Decay will debuff a random target and
deal moderate Shadow damage over time; healing this target causes the caster to
take damage equal to the amount of health healed.
The main mechanic of the fight will occur when Peroth'arn reaches 70%
health, where he will vanish. Illidan will cloak the party as well, forcing
Peroth'arn to summon in a plethora of eyes to search for the party.
These eyes will quickly move around the room in random directions, and if they
come in contact with a player Peroth'arn will enter a
Endless Frenzy
and attack that player. If no player is detected for 40 seconds, Peroth'arn
will be weakened by
Enfeebled, taking increased damage.

Queen Azshara
Queen Azshara will not face players herself, but instead send
her Enchanted Magi servants to do her bidding. She will however, attempt to
assist her servants throughout the fight with two spells. Total Obedience
will be cast periodically and must be interrupted, or it is an instant wipe;
watch for the emote associated with this cast, or keep Queen Azshara
set as your focus target to be sure and never miss this 8 second cast. She will
also use
Servant of the Queen on a random player, mind controlling them;
the mind controlled player will have a Hand of the Queen placed on them,
which can be killed to set the targeted player free.
Queen Azshara has a total of 6 Enchanted Magi fighting for her, and will send them out 2 at a time. There are three types of Enchanted Magus, each using a different school of magic: Arcane, Fire, or Frost; two Magi from the same school of magic can never be sent out at once, meaning you will always be dealing with two different types of casters at the same time.
- Enchanted Magus (Arcane)
Arcane Bomb
Arcane Shock
- Enchanted Magus (Fire)
Blast Wave
Fireball
Firebomb
- Enchanted Magus (Frost)
Coldflame
Ice Fling
Spread out to avoid the multiple AoE spells these Magi have. We recommend killing the Arcane Magus first, followed by the Frost, and lastly the Fire. Interrupt and stun the Magi as frequently as possible, and after all 6 have been defeated the encounter is completed.

Varo'then and Mannoroth
Players will first engage with Captain Varo'then, while Illidan
handles Mannoroth in the background, who is constantly covering
the area in
Fel Firestorms. Tyrande will also be assisting
by killing demons as they attempt to break through nearby portals; periodically
two Dreadlord Debilitators will spawn and stun Tyrande, stopping her
from killing the demons. The party must turn and kill the Dreadlord Debilitators
to set Tyrande free before the demons overwhelm the party and wipe your group;
while stunned, Tyrande creates a beam of light nearby for players to stand in
and gain the
Blessing of Elune buff, causing you to deal devastating
AoE damage to all nearby demons. Use this buff to quickly clear out the Dreadlord Debilitators
and set Tyrande free.
The only ability that Captain Varo'then has is
Magistrike, which chains to nearby allies; spread around the room
to avoid the AoE while avoiding the
Fel Firestorms. Once
Captain Varo'then dies he will drop his sword, which can be interacted
with to pick up; this sword can then be thrown at Mannoroth to
greatly weaken him, allowing the party to quickly defeat him afterwards.
