Gu Cloudstrike

Gu Cloudstrike is the first boss in the Shado-Pan Monastery dungeon.

Adventure Guide
''Before the escape of the sha, Gu Cloudstrike was entrusted with training the elite Shado-pan spellcasters. Now this formerly gentle and reserved pandaren revels in unleashing his astounding powers, with devastating consequences. He has asserted control over the mystical Azure Serpent, and his students are helpless in the wake of Cloudstrike's lethal attacks.''

Stage One: Let Me Show You My Power!
Gu Cloudstrike calls for the Azure Serpent to help him defeat the intruders.

Stage Two: Charge Me With Your Power!
Gu Cloudstrike enters a meditative state, becoming immune to all damage. The Azure Serpent moves in to attack.

Stage Three: Do Not Fail Me!
After the players defeat the Azure Serpent, Gu Cloudstrike rejoins the fight.

Strategy
Phase 1: Mostly a standard tank and spank fight. Spread out and move out of Static Fields on the ground. If he casts one in melee range, kite him away.

Phase 2: Gu is immune to damage and the Azure Serpent becomes attackable, stationary and hovering just outside the platform. Watch out for its cone breath. Additionally, everyone, including ranged attackers, should stand close together for easier healing: when the Magnetic Shroud dissipates, it creates an AoE healing effect for nearby players.

Phase 3: Again a tank and spank fight. Keep the players fully healed, as they receive more damage at low health.
