Adventure Guide

So great was the power of the Last Guardian, Medivh, that his magic still echoes through the halls of Karazhan. Some of these echoes take the shape of visions, revealing past events to the tower's guests. Others assume more malevolent forms, recalling a time when the Guardian's will was not his own.

Overview

Medivh assaults players with Piercing Missiles, Inferno Bolt and Frostbite until he reaches full mana. Once he has reached full mana he uses one of his Focused Power abilities. Players must stop all movement when Flamewreath is cast.

Abilities

•  Piercing Missiles   — The Shade of Medivh pierces a player with Arcane magic for 5 sec, inflicting 438750 to 461250 Arcane damage every 0.5 sec. This effect increases the Arcane damage taken of the target by 25% for 20 sec if Piercing Missiles is channeled for its full duration.
•  Inferno Bolt  — The Shade of Medivh ignites a player and all players within 8 yards of them. This effect inflicts 500000 Fire damage and an additional 150000 Fire damage every second for 5 sec. Inferno Bolt cancels the effect of Frostbite on any player that it hits.
•  Frostbite  — The Shade of Medivh freezes a player, inflicting 700000 Frost damage and stunning them indefinitely. This effect is canceled when the target is hit by Inferno Bolt.

Focused Power
