Lore
Eonar can be accessed after the Garothi Worldbreaker has been defeated.
Though she was felled by the blade of Sargeras, the Life Binder's essence escaped the grasp of the Dark Titan. After millennia spent hiding in isolation, Eonar's sanctuary has been discovered by the Legion.
Should her soul fall into the enemy's hands, Eonar's powers of nature and growth will be perverted to make the Burning Crusade unstoppable.
Outline
Eonar is a unique encounter where the raid must protect the Essence of Eonar from being killed by defeating waves of Legion forces. The Legion forces portal in to three separate lanes that all lead to Eonar, making this boss eerily similar to a "Tower Defense" game. Players will have to split into sub-groups and defend several paths at once, all while avoiding the bombardment of the sinister Legion starship, the The Paraxis.
TL;DR
Tanks
- Pick up and tank the Fel-Infused Destructors.
- Pick up and tank the Fel-Powered Purifiers, while keeping them faced away from allied players.
Healers
- Provide surgical healing to players targeted with
Rain of Fel.
Everyone
- Use crowd control to slow the advance of the Legion ground forces while bringing them down.
- Use your
Surge of Life to quickly move around the platforms if necessary.
- Kite
Spear of Doom along the edges of the lanes to avoid granting movement speed to the Legion ground forces.
Bloodlust/Heroism/Time Warp
There is no definitive moment where
Bloodlust/
Heroism/
Time Warp makes a major impact on
this fight. A good default usage is on the first upper path spawn, as the
Fel-Powered Purifier is quite tanky, and a set of adds spawns on the
lower path very shortly after, making it an effective point for both
groups.
