General Raid Preparation

  • Many of the bosses in this raid deal primarily Tactical Damage. Therefore characters should focus on increasing their Tactical Mitigation as much as possible, which can be accomplished with gear, Virtues such as Fidelity, Tolerance, and Honour, and with Scrolls of Supreme Warding Lore.
  • Characters should come prepared with stacks of curative potions to remove Disease, Fear, Poison, and Wound effects.
  • Cooked Food, Fortifying Food, and Trail Food all provide beneficial buffs to in-Combat Morale/Power Regen, Resistance Rating, and other stats.
  • Because of the high amount of raid-wide damage in this instance, all characters should bring a variety of Morale potions.
  • All characters should bring several +5 Hope Tokens to counter the Gloom effect on bosses which applies +5 Dread.
  • Many mobs in this raid do not like to be CC'd (Crowd-controlled) and will buff themselves as a result.
  • Some of the bosses in this raid either have a high mitigation for or complete immunity to Common Damage. Therefore, Guardians and Wardens should bring Shield-spikes to change their shield attack damage type.
  • The raid leader should designate a primary target assist for DPS to follow, since many of the boss fights will require careful targeting and quick burning of targets.
  • The personal lantern (toggled on/off with Alt-F10) can be used inside this instance to increase visibility.

Walkthrough

Lore

Durin’s Folk long ago came to the great caverns which are now known as Moria, the Black Pit. They delved and built the great realm of Khazad-dûm. Many great and wondrous things were made in Moria, and mithril was discovered there, but a day came when the dwarves delved too greedily and too deep and awoke the Balrog, Durin’s Bane. But even long before the Balrog had come to hide in the depths of Moria, the deepest holes and caverns were inhabited by countless evil things. Known now as the Nameless, they have arisen and seek to enslave all who walk the halls of Khazad-dûm. A vile and grotesque creature known as the Mistress of Pestilence commands the Nameless of Moria, who strive to spread her fungal plague to the outside world.
