High Inquisitor Fairbanks

Level 40 elite · Hidden room behind the altar; open it with the far-right room torch

Optional

Optional fight against an Undead caster who heals, shields, curses, sleeps and fears; interrupt his casts and dispel his targets.

Watch for
  • HealInterrupt

    3 sec cast that heals him.

  • Power Word: ShieldPurge

    Shields himself and absorbs damage for up to 30 sec.

  • SleepDispel magic

    Puts nearby players to sleep for several seconds; any damage wakes them.

  • FearDispel magic

    Sends one player fleeing in terror for several seconds.

  • Curse of BloodRemove curse

    Curse that raises the Physical damage a player takes.

  • Dispel MagicHeal through

    Strips one beneficial spell, such as a shield or heal over time, from a player.

Group plan
Tank

Clear every chapel enemy before you pull him in his hidden room. Ask for Fear Ward or Tremor Totem against his Fear, and expect his Dispel Magic to strip your shields and heals over time.

Healer

Keep the tank and party topped off, since Sleep or Fear can take any of you out for a few seconds. Dispel Sleep and Fear, and ask a druid or mage to remove Curse of Blood.

Damage

Interrupt every Heal and strip his Power Word: Shield with Purge, Dispel Magic or Devour Magic. Otherwise treat it as a tank-and-spank fight and watch your threat.

Each class
  • Druid · your class

    Cast Remove Curse on whoever carries Curse of Blood. If you tank, Faerie Fire is free in Bear Form and builds threat in Forever, so keep it on him.

  • Hunter · your class

    Keep Viper Sting on him to drain the mana behind his Heal and Power Word: Shield. Feign Death if he turns on you while the tank is asleep or feared.

  • Mage · your class

    Use Remove Lesser Curse on Curse of Blood. Save Counterspell for his Heal; the Holy lockout also blocks his Power Word: Shield for 10 sec.

  • Paladin · your class

    Fairbanks is Undead, so open with Exorcism and use it on cooldown. Purify cannot clear his Sleep or Fear; Cleanse, which can, arrives at 42.

  • Priest · your class

    Put Fear Ward on the tank; every priest has it at 20 in Forever. Dispel Magic frees slept or feared allies and can strip his Power Word: Shield.

  • Rogue · your class

    Kick his Heal; the lockout also stops his Power Word: Shield for a few seconds. Use Feint if Sleep or Fear on the tank lets your threat climb.

  • Shaman · your class

    Drop Tremor Totem to clear his Fear and Sleep from the party. Purge his Power Word: Shield and Earth Shock his Heal.

  • Warlock · your class

    Bring the Felhunter. Devour Magic strips his Power Word: Shield or frees a slept ally, and Spell Lock, learned at 36, stops his Heal.

  • Warrior · your class

    Shield Bash his Heal. If you tank, ask for Fear Ward or Tremor Totem; Berserker Rage needs Berserker Stance and must be up before his Fear lands.

Scarlet Commander Mograine

Level 42 elite · At the Crusader's Chapel altar

Paladin melee boss who opens a three-part event: he falls, Whitemane fights alone, then she raises him to fight beside her.

Watch for
  • Crusader StrikeTank

    Melee strike that stacks up to 5 times, raising the Holy damage the target takes.

  • Hammer of JusticeHeal through

    Stuns his target for a few seconds.

  • Divine ShieldBurst

    Makes him immune to all damage and spells for several seconds.

  • Retribution AuraHeal through

    Deals Holy damage to each player who strikes him or a nearby ally in melee.

  • Lay on HandsBurst

    Casts it on Whitemane after she raises him, restoring her to full health.

  1. Phase 1Pull to his first death

    Mograine fights alone. Heal the tank through Hammer of Justice and Crusader Strike stacks, and hold cooldowns while Divine Shield is up.

  2. Phase 2After his first death

    Whitemane comes out from the room behind the altar and fights alone until she nears half health.

  3. Phase 3After Scarlet Resurrection

    He returns beside Whitemane, and both are at full health when the group wakes. Keep him tanked while the group kills Whitemane, then finish him.

Group plan
Tank

Clear every chapel pack and both altar-side rooms first; engaging him draws what is left. Expect stuns and Crusader Strike stacks. After the resurrection, pick him up fast and hold him while the group kills Whitemane.

Healer

Heal through his Hammer of Justice stuns on the tank, but keep mana in reserve: Whitemane and the second Mograine follow with no break. Retribution Aura chips melee players.

Damage

Burn him in phase 1, but stop spending cooldowns while Divine Shield is up. After the resurrection, leave him to the tank, kill Whitemane first, then finish Mograine.

Each class
  • Druid · your class

    Tank him in Bear Form with Faerie Fire, which is free and builds threat in Forever, plus Demoralizing Roar. Keep Rebirth ready for phase 3.

  • Hunter · your class

    Keep Scorpid Sting on him; in Forever it lowers his hit chance by 2%, which helps the tank. Hold Rapid Fire while Divine Shield is up.

  • Mage · your class

    Save Counterspell for Whitemane; Mograine casts nothing that needs it. Stop casting while Divine Shield is up instead of wasting mana.

  • Paladin · your class

    Tank with Righteous Fury and Seal of Fury. Judgement taunts under Seal of Fury in Forever, so use it to take him back after Scarlet Resurrection.

  • Priest · your class

    Keep Power Word: Shield and Renew on the tank before Hammer of Justice stuns stack up damage. Drink to full first; the event runs three parts.

  • Rogue · your class

    Hit him from behind. Retribution Aura damages you on every hit, so watch your health, and pool energy to burst once Divine Shield ends.

  • Shaman · your class

    Drop Stoneskin Totem for the tank and Windfury Totem, learned at 32, for melee. Save mana; his stuns force steady healing on the tank.

  • Warlock · your class

    Keep Curse of Weakness on him to cut his melee damage. In Forever, Bane of Agony can sit beside it, since Banes and Curses no longer clash.

  • Warrior · your class

    If you tank, Thunder Clap works in Defensive Stance in Forever and slows his attacks; add Demoralizing Shout. Keep Shield Wall for phase 3.

High Inquisitor Whitemane

Level 42 elite · Room behind the chapel altar; she joins as Mograine falls

Priest boss who joins when Mograine falls, sleeps the group near half health and raises him; kill her first, then Mograine.

Watch for
  • HealInterrupt

    3 sec cast that heals her or Mograine.

  • Power Word: ShieldPurge

    Shields her and absorbs damage for up to 30 sec.

  • Holy SmiteInterrupt

    2.5 sec cast that deals Holy damage to a player.

  • Deep SleepHeal through

    Puts the whole group to sleep at about half health while she raises Mograine.

  • Scarlet ResurrectionTank

    2 sec cast that brings Mograine back at full health to fight beside her.

  • Dominate MindCrowd control

    Takes control of a party member for 15 sec if the fight runs long.

  1. Phase 1Mograine's death to about half health

    She casts Holy Smite, Heal and Power Word: Shield. Interrupt Heal and strip the shield.

  2. Phase 2About half health

    She casts Deep Sleep on the group and raises Mograine at full health, and he uses Lay on Hands on her.

  3. Phase 3After the sleep

    Both bosses fight at full health. The tank holds Mograine; everyone else kills Whitemane, then Mograine.

Group plan
Tank

Pick her up as Mograine falls. When the group wakes from Deep Sleep, taunt Mograine at once and hold him away from the players on Whitemane.

Healer

Top everyone off before she nears half health; the scripted sleep cannot be avoided normally. After it, heal the tank on Mograine and anyone hit by Holy Smite. Hand of Righteousness suits healers.

Damage

Interrupt every Heal and strip Power Word: Shield. After the sleep, kill her first, then Mograine, so both bodies can be looted.

Each class
  • Druid · your class

    Save Innervate, learned at 40, for your healer before she nears half health. After the sleep, Rebirth anyone who died with both bosses up.

  • Hunter · your class

    Keep Viper Sting on her to drain the mana she spends on Heal. If she turns on you after the sleep, use Feign Death.

  • Mage · your class

    Counterspell her Heal; the 10 sec Holy lockout also stops Holy Smite and Power Word: Shield. Polymorph anyone she takes control of until it ends.

  • Paladin · your class

    Run Concentration Aura so Holy Smite hits interrupt fewer heals. Save Lay on Hands for phase 3, when both bosses are up and mana runs low.

  • Priest · your class

    Dispel Magic strips her Power Word: Shield, and Silence, a 20-point Shadow talent, stops her Heal. Renew and shield the tank before she nears half health.

  • Rogue · your class

    Kick her Heal; the 5 sec lockout also blocks Holy Smite and Power Word: Shield. Feint if Mograine turns on you before the tank picks him up.

  • Shaman · your class

    Purge her Power Word: Shield and Earth Shock her Heal. If she takes control of someone, Tremor Totem removes Charm effects.

  • Warlock · your class

    Spell Lock her Heal and let the Felhunter Devour Magic her shield. Curse of Tongues slows her casts, and a Bane can sit beside it in Forever.

  • Warrior · your class

    If you tank, taunt Mograine as the sleep ends and hold him. As dps, Pummel her Heal in Berserker Stance or Shield Bash it in Battle Stance.
