Well of Eternity is the third of three dungeons added in during Phase Four ofCataclysm as an introduction to the new raid, Dragon Soul. Here players will goon a journey to uncover the needed information to challenge Deathwing himself.

Well of Eternity is the second of the three new dungeons that introduces Dragon Soulsstory-line, involving Thrall contacting the Dragon Aspects for aid in uncoveringDeathwing's nefarious plans. In this dungeon players will race against the clockto stop the invading demons from corrupting the Well of Eternity. You must havefirst completed End Time in order to enter this dungeon.

Well of Eternity is located in the Caverns of Time zone, inside Tanaris. All threeof the new dungeons can be found in this zone, allowing the player to completethe entire quest chain quickly between all three dungeons.

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 invarious locations throughout the room, dealing damage to all players in the areaand should be avoided. Fel Decay will debuff a random target anddeal moderate Shadow damage over time; healing this target causes the caster totake 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, forcingPeroth'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 theycome in contact with a player Peroth'arn will enter a Endless Frenzyand attack that player. If no player is detected for 40 seconds, Peroth'arnwill be weakened by Enfeebled, taking increased damage.

Queen Azshara will not face players herself, but instead sendher Enchanted Magi servants to do her bidding. She will however, attempt toassist her servants throughout the fight with two spells. Total Obediencewill be cast periodically and must be interrupted, or it is an instant wipe;watch for the emote associated with this cast, or keep Queen Azsharaset as your focus target to be sure and never miss this 8 second cast. She willalso 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 fromthe same school of magic can never be sent out at once, meaning you will alwaysbe 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 recommendkilling 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 beendefeated the encounter is completed.

Item
Slippers of Wizardry
Puppeteer's Pantaloons

Players will first engage with Captain Varo'then, while Illidanhandles Mannoroth in the background, who is constantly coveringthe area in Fel Firestorms. Tyrande will also be assistingby killing demons as they attempt to break through nearby portals; periodicallytwo Dreadlord Debilitators will spawn and stun Tyrande, stopping herfrom killing the demons. The party must turn and kill the Dreadlord Debilitatorsto 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 inand gain the Blessing of Elune buff, causing you to deal devastatingAoE damage to all nearby demons. Use this buff to quickly clear out the Dreadlord Debilitatorsand set Tyrande free.

The only ability that Captain Varo'then has is Magistrike, which chains to nearby allies; spread around the roomto avoid the AoE while avoiding the Fel Firestorms. OnceCaptain Varo'then dies he will drop his sword, which can be interactedwith to pick up; this sword can then be thrown at Mannoroth togreatly weaken him, allowing the party to quickly defeat him afterwards.
