Scarlet Monastery: Armory


Take a look at the High Elf statue in the middle of the picture. That's what the Blood Elves looked like before they collectively joined the Village People. Since then they have evolved and nowadays each and every one of them looks like Son Goku.

Like in the library, be very careful with runners as they will aggro more mobs and things will be going south sooner as you might expect.

Herod

Another opportunity to practise that fine positioning strategy we learned in the Library. Just spread out a little behind him so that his cleave won't hit more than one. When he does his whirlwind he will be immune to all damage, so stop attacking then and heal the one that is tanking him.

After Herod is down, the fun part will start: the Scarlet Trainee zergfest. They are weak and don't have much life but they come in masses. You essentially have two choices:
  1. Easy: fry them with Fire Nova Totem
  2. Hard: kill them off one by one using Chain Lighning, Lightning Bolt and shocks
If you choose the easy path, you will not be able to loot them to get the tabard. To be able do it the hard way mainly depends on the amount of mana you got left from the Herod fight. In any case, distract them first with Stoneclaw Totem or else they will immediately kill off the Fire Nova Totems or do too much damage to your team.

During my first run, they clubbed my team into pieces as I totally underestimated them.

Drop wise, the only interesting item from Herod are his shoulders which are mail and have a decent amount of stamina.
