What does this information mean?
You must be level 80 to enter! This is an AOE heavy zone; almost every encounter is 3-5 mobs ^ or ^^. If you can bring a warlock or other strong AOE classes, otherwise the zone will take much longer.
The first named, Bloodchief Tzabos, is a straight tank and spank other than some substantial stuns to the main tank. To his left is a Drogan warlord who counts as a named creature but does not seem to drop rare items.
Clear the Drogan soldiers to activate Witch Doctor Bzegon, who takes the gem, wakes up a Drogan horn blower and runs off. Burn down the group of adds spawned by the horn blower except one, then Evac. Now you have 1 add and the horn blower to take down. Have one of your group members rush the add and have the main tank go for the horn blower.
To kill the drake, use dispel on the ritualists on the pedestals and kill them first. The druid ability SERENE SYMBOL will dispel the Ritualists long enough to burn them down making the Drake an easy kill. If you do not have any DISPEL ability in the group, the Drake must be pulled on top of the Ritualists, where the Drake will dispel them. Once the Drake has dispelled the goblin you can burn him down and rinse and repeat for the other side.
To kill the crusader, use the Ghostly Channeler's Focus item ( dropped by the goblins around the green cloud on the floor above the drake that shows up after you kill the drake, everyone in group can loot this) to reduce him back to normal size and keep him from being so dangerous. This item is on a 3 minute recast with 20 second duration. If you have a full group of 6, you can coordinate the use of these and keep it going so that he never increases in size. ** NOTE: The Ghostly Channeler's Focus item MUST be ATTUNED before it can be used against the crusader **
Bring someone with a fast reuse 'Dispel' if you want to take down Bricktop. He has a stoneskin buff that heals over time for a small percentage of his health (2%?). The mob will state 'You can't touch this' and cast the buff. The buff also stacks so if he casts it a few times without a dispel the fight is lost. Paly/SK Dispell works but that has too slow a reuse timer to rely on. Note, the strat here is to burn him down as fast as possible while somebody dispells his buff as needed. You should pull the mob back to the tents on the lower level as he has a aoe knock back.. use the tents to prevent knock back.
After killing Bloodpriest Yak'Lar, a mob will spawn in each of the blood pools next to the altar. Once these are killed, Tuz'Rak will become attackable and run to the top of the stairs.
Tuz'Rak should be pulled down to the bottom of the steps. The reason for this is that he will randomly teleport someone to the altar and chain them to it with a harsh unremovable DOT. DPS should burn through the chains to free whoever got teleported.
[edit] Void Shards
One of the shineys in this zone will turn in to an attackable mob (81^^^). After killing this mob you will get the key to open the shard chest which is located at the top of the stairs at the end of the zone.
