Upper Karazhan: overview and preparation

Location and bosses

Deadwind Pass

Boss order

The Curator → Shade of Medivh → Mana Devourer → Viz’aduum the Watcher

Run plan

Curator → Medivh → Mana Devourer → Viz’aduum. Save major cooldowns for heavy healing events.

Dangerous packs

Assign a named Medivh interrupt rotation; one interrupter is insufficient for reliable coverage.

Boss playbooks

• Curator: kill Volatile Energy quickly and use Evocation for increased damage.
• Medivh: stop moving completely during Flame Wreath; prepare an interrupt rotation.
• Mana Devourer: manage Unstable Mana and remove stacks in Energy Void in time.
• Viz’aduum: avoid beams and follow the planned ship transitions.

Adapting to affixes

• Fortified: allocate more defenses and interrupts to dangerous packs. Tyrannical: reserve burst and personal defenses for longer boss fights.
• Bolstering: balance enemy health. Sanguine: leave space for the tank to move surviving enemies.
• Agree on skips before starting: enemy forces, pets, post-skip combat and recovery after death.
