City Of Dalaran Dungeon Guide - Bosses, Loot & Quests

City of Dalaran is a new dungeon in WoW Forever. Proudly sitting behind a opaque, amethyst coloured dome, arcane magics run amok in this well-known city.

This dungeon is designed for levels 28 - 33 and, whilst it can be completed towards the lower end of that range, having a party around level 30 makes the dungeon considerably more manageable.

Mechanics

Main mechanic: Focal Blast — a dangerous arcane beam fired in a straight line for several seconds.

• Everyone: Move out of the beam's path as soon as the cast begins.
• Tank: Keep the boss positioned safely.
• DPS: Continue attacking between casts without standing in the beam.
• Healer: Watch for anyone caught by the blast.

Mechanics

Main mechanics: Fel Timbers creates damaging green ground effects; Entangle roots players and deals damage over time.

• Everyone: Move out of the green pools and fumes immediately.
• Healer: Pay attention to rooted players, especially if they are caught in a ground effect.
• Players with root-removal abilities: Use them if needed to escape a dangerous overlap.

Mechanics

Mechanics: Debilitate damages everyone nearby and drains mana; Drain Vitality damages the current target and continues ticking.

• Healer: Prepare for group-wide damage and ongoing damage on the tank.
• Tank: Maintain defensive cooldowns if incoming damage becomes heavy.
• DPS: Kill the boss efficiently, as the mana drain can make a prolonged fight harder.
• Everyone: Clear surrounding enemies before engaging.

Mechanics

Main mechanic: Malfunction — after a short cast, it damages everyone within 25 yards repeatedly for several seconds.

• Melee: Run out when Malfunction begins.
• Ranged and healer: Stay more than 25 yards away where possible.
• Everyone: Clear the Angry Tome enemies near the boss before pulling.

Mechanics

Main mechanics: Arcane Bolt, Arcane Explosion, Bounding Mana, and a mana cycle that ends in Mass Polymorph followed by Evocation.

• Tank: Handle the heavy Arcane Bolt damage.
• Everyone: Spread out so Bounding Mana is less likely to catch multiple players. Don't stand between its target and the boss.
• Melee: Watch for Arcane Explosion within 20 yards.
• Casters and healer: Stay at range; use the Mass Polymorph/Evocation window carefully.
• Everyone: Stay inside the boss room — leaving can reset the encounter.

Mechanics

Main mechanics: Shadow Bolt Volley, Curse of Thorns, and summoned skeletons.

• Healer: Prepare for periodic group-wide Shadow damage.
• DPS: Kill skeletons and dispel Curse of Thorns if possible.
• Melee: Be careful while cursed, because your attacks can cause damage to yourself.
• Tank: Keep Lyn positioned and control the adds.

Mechanics

Main mechanics: Summons skeletons, hits the tank hard, and periodically disarms the tank.

• Tank: Keep the boss controlled; be ready for the disarm.
• DPS: Kill the skeleton adds as they appear. Don't use heavy AoE before the tank establishes threat.
• Healer: Keep the tank healthy through his melee attacks.
