The Rookery Dungeon Guide: Location, Boss Strategies, and Trash

The Rookery is a level 70-80 dungeon located on the West side of Isle of Dorn, Khaz Algar.

This guide will be an extensive overview of the dungeon, providing vital information on how to complete it across all difficulties. We will cover all 3 Boss fights, as well as the most notable trash enemies in the dungeon and their important abilities. If you would like to learn about the rest of the dungeons in The War Within Season 1, please see our overviews linked below. Otherwise, without further ado, let us begin!

• Interrupt Cursed Thunderer's Lightning Bolt.
• Avoid being hit by the Quartermaster Koratite's Bounding Void frontal. In addition, make sure to switch positions if he casts Entropy Shield in front of you.
• Avoid the Unruly Stormrook's Thunderstrike and sidestep their frontal ability - Energized Barrage.
• Any spare interrupts should be used for Cursed Rooktender's Enrage Rook.

• Sidestep the incoming Lightning Dash otherwise it will be lethal.
• Use defensive during Kyrioss's Chain Lightning.
• When Kyrioss reaches 100 Energy he will charge in the middle and begin channeling its Lightning Torrent cast. If you don't outrun the beam you will likely take the lethal amount of damage and die.
• Use your defensive during Unstable Charge.

• -

• Look out for Stormheart at all times.
• Make sure players are healthy before each Kyrioss's Chain Lightning.

• Interrupt Coalescing Void Diffuser's Arcing Void. In addition, make sure to run away from its Attracting Shadows before the channel has finished.
• Watch out for Corrupted Oracle and its Seeping Corruption Curse effect. Stop their Void Shell cast at all costs since it does absorb shield to the nearby mobs.
• Have at least 4 yard distance between you and the tank when fighting Void Cursed Crusher due to their Implosion cast.

• Sidestep its Crush Reality ground animation, while dodging the follow-up Reality Tears. Do keep in mind that the Lingering Void ground patch will remain there for a long time.
• During the Dark Gravity channel cast, use any movement speed abilities to escape from the pull-in effect.
• Use defensive cooldowns during the Chaotic Corruption cast.

• Move Stormguard Gorren away from any existing Lingering Void ground swirlies.

• When dealing with Chaotic Corruption, you must prioritise players that are more durable than others when removing the application. Not only it will trigger a follow-up effect - Chaotic Explosion but it will also apply to the player that receives it with Chaotic Vulnerability. No DPS should ever go above 1 stack unless they have immunity, or very strong defensive (preferably the tank can get more).

Once you reach the final area, you will be able to be supported by Stormrider Vokmar and its Storm's Vengeance ability (use your extra action button). This allows you to stun any nearby non-boss-enemies for a short period ( Electrocuted), essentially helping you defeat them.

• Interrupt Void Fragment's Void Bolt.
• Stop the incoming Void Volley cast from the Void Ascendant.
• Avoid the Void Backlash ground animation upon breaking the Radiating Voidstone's Embrace the Void uninterruptable shield.

• Use your defensive cooldown if you get targeted by Unleash Corruption. Beware tho, on Mythic difficulty it spawns Void Chunks which you must defeat before they Reshape into Voidstone Awakened.
• Sidestep all the ground visuals when Voidstone Monstrosity casts Null Upheaval.
• If any of the players gets Stormrider's Charge, use to to clear any permanent ground void zones.

• Make sure to stay in melee at all times to prevent the boss from casting Entropy.
• Use defensive during Oblivion Wave and aim it away from your party.

• Use your healing cooldowns during Null Upheaval as it will deal group-wide damage.
