Adventure Guide

Brother Joseph and Sister Katherine are devout worshippers of the waves. These proud Kul Tirans would gladly risk their lives to ensure the safety of their compatriots. Their command over sea and storm is awesome to behold, as are the ancient and powerful rituals they practice.

Overview

Working to cover the main portion of the Alliance fleet as they fell back, a cadre of Stormsong tidepriests have established a blockade and summoned an overwhelming elemental to wash away Dazar'alor's port area. Re-establishing a foothold on the docks, overrun the alliance and return the summoned monstrosity back to the deep before they destroy a large portion of the city.

  •  Freezing Tidepool — Creates a pool of freezing waters, inflicting Frost damage every 1 sec to all players standing in it. On Mythic Difficulty, Freezing Tidepools clear a stack of Kelp-Wrapping every second on any Energized Storm within its boundaries.
•  Ire of the Deep  — A watery orb appears and slams down on the ground, inflicting Frost damage, split evenly between all players hit by the attack. If no players are present, all players take Frost damage, and multiple Freezing Tidepools are created. On Mythic Difficulty, Ire of the Deep also knocks back all players away, with the knock back force divided among all players struck.
