Notes
- Captain Garrick and Warlord Breka Grimaxe serve as tanks for the instance. They both fight like Protection warriors (even though Breka uses a two-handed axe), using
[Charge], Taunt and
[Shield Slam]. Against ghouls later, they both use
[Whirlwind]. They can be healed/buffed by players.
- Henry Garrick and Shuja Grimaxe serve as healers for the instance. Henry is a Holy priest and attacks with
[Smite], oddly instant
[Holy Fire] and uses
[Shadow Word: Pain] against bosses, while healing with
[Flash Heal]. Shuja is a Restoration shaman, attacking with
[Lightning Bolt] and occasional
[Lava Surge], while using
[Healing Surge] to heal. Neither of them heal themselves or could be healed/buffed by the players, so be careful not to get them hit by boss' AoE.
- Judging by the roles assigned by Dungeon Finder, the roles for classes before they choose a specialisation is Damage except for Priest where it's Healer.
- This dungeon can only be run through before leaving Exile's Reach. Once the player leaves the island in
[7-10] An End to Beginnings, they can no longer run though Darkmaul Citadel on that character ever again.
