WitherbarkDeep within the lush forests of Gorgrond, Witherbark has seen countless cycles of life and death, decay and rebirth. The upstart "Iron Horde" and the strange beings that seem to have arrived in their wake are just a new skin on an old snake. They will be gone soon. And Witherbark will endure.

Overview: As Witherbark attacks he consumes his stores of Aqueous Energy.
At 0 Aqueous Energy, Witherbark gains Brittle Bark and Aqueous Globules form at the edge of the lake and move towards him. Each globule that reaches Witherbark restores 25 Aqueous Energy. If a globule crosses paths with an Unchecked Growth, it animates and attacks.
At 100 Energy, Aqueous Globules no longer form and Witherbark loses Brittle Bark, freeing him to attack.

Damage Dealers:
Avoid [Unchecked Growth].
Destroy Aqueous Globules before they can reach Witherbark.
Healers:
Avoid [Unchecked Growth].
[Aqueous Burst] inflicts damage to all party members when a globule is killed or reaches Witherbark.
Tanks:
Avoid [Unchecked Growth].
Face Witherbark away from players during [Parched Gasp].
Be prepared to pick up and tank any [Unchecked Growth] that animate.

Unchecked Growth:

In Heroic difficulty, Witherbark can continue to cast Unchecked Growth even while affected by Brittle Bark.

Unchecked Growth: When touched by the life giving power of an Aqueous Globule the Unchecked Growth uproots itself and attacks anyone nearby.

Aqueous Globules: A sphere of pure magical water that moves in a line towards Witherbark. Each Aqueous Globule that reaches Witherbark restores 25 Aqueious Energy and bursts.

Aqueous Burst

Ancient ProtectorsGola and Telu, a pair of botani forest-tenders, spread creeping growth as they urge the forest to reclaim and swallow the ill-fated outpost in its midst. Guarding them as they perform this task is the terrible brute Dulhu, long ago a Blackrock clansman who wandered too far into primal woodlands, but now more plant than orc.

Overview: Life Warden Gola empowers his allies with [Rapid Tides] and heals them with [Revitalizing Water].
Earthshaper Telu will protect his allies with [Briarskin] and disrupt players with [Bramblepatch]
Dhulhu defends Life Warden Gola and Earthshaper Telu with [Grasping Vines] and [Rending Charge].

Archmage SolArchmage Sol was among the last holdouts of the Kirin Tor expedition at Violet Bluff, but ultimately succumbed to spores that took root in her brain. Perhaps a portion of her humanity remains buried deep within, but she now lives as a prisoner in her own body.

Overview:
Archmage Sol will only cast spells from one school at a time, starting with Fire, then Frost, and finally Arcane. Each time Archmage Sol's cast of [Parasitic Growth] is interrupted she will change schools of magic.
With each cast of Archmage Sol's signature abilities, the next cast will increase in efficacy.
Archmage Sol will cast spells much faster and with increased damage every time she successfully completes a cast of [Parasitic Growth]. Interrupting this spell as it is being cast will remove all stacks of [Parasitic Growth] from Archmage Sol.
In Heroic and Challenge Mode difficulties, the signature abilities that Archmage Sol uses will persist throughout the remainder of the encounter.

Archmage Sol's [Fireball], [Frostbolt] and [Arcane Burst] can be interrupted; but only by interrupting [Parasitic Growth] will Archmage Sol change magic school usage.
[Firebloom] can be avoided by jumping over it.

Once 8 Toxic Spiderlings have been defeated Xeri'tac will drop down to the floor for the remainder of the encounter.

YalnuAncient and inscrutable, the genesaur Yalnu was drawn to the Kirin Tor outpost in Gorgrond by strange energies radiating from the bluff. For ages the genesaur have battled their eternal foes - the magnaron, the gronn, children of stone - to a stalemate across the world of Draenor. But in these emanations, Yalnu sensed a new world, where his kind could flourish and spread unchecked.

Overview: Yalnu's presence reshapes the land around him, creating Swift Sproutlings, Vicious Mandragora and Gnarled Ancients that attack the city's defenders. Periodically he will create a field of sproutlings and begins to channel [Genesis]. When [Genesis] completes, any sproutlings that weren't [Trampled] will grow into Feral Lashers and attack players.
He will [Entangle] a random defender with his arborblade, trapping them until the entanglement is destroyed. Yalnu will also use [Colossal Blow] to inflict damage to the party.

Damage Dealers:
[Entanglement] will stun allies until it is destroyed.
[Font of Life] will continuously create adds that will overwhelm players if not killed.
Healers:
Lady Baihu and her Kirin Tor Battle-Mages can be healed by players.
