Background[]

Adventure Guide[]

The Iron Horde juggernaut moored in the waters beside Highmaul drew the attention of Brackenspore, ancient walker of the deep. The aquatic giant spreads fungal growth and moss in his wake, and is driven by primal instinct to eradicate any traces of civilization on Draenor.

Overview[]

Brackenspore emerges from the infested waters beneath the cliffs of Highmaul, spreading fungal growth that will engulf the beach if left unchecked. Players must use available Flamethrowers to keep Creeping Moss in check, while defeating hostile fungi that Brackenspore creates in his wake.

Strategy[]

Stub Please add any available information to this section.

Flamethrower[]

An important mechanic throughout the fight is the two people who use the Inv firearm 2h rifle pvppandarias1 c 01 Blackfuse Company 9000 flamethrowers to burn away the Spell fire burnoutgreen Creeping Moss. If any fungal creature stands in Creeping Moss it receives healing, so keep the boss and adds out of it.

Once you have picked up the flamethrower you gain a heat gauge and an ExtraActionButton1 which toggles the flamethrower. If you leave the flamethrower on long enough to max out the heat gauge it overheats and becomes unusable for 10 seconds. Never ever allow this to happen. The flames from the flamethrower are emitted in the direction of the player's movement, so "strafing" does not have the effect you would hope. Just imagine you're mowing a lawn.

Using the flamethrower gives the player Spell burningsoul Burning Infusion stacks which increase critical strike chance, multistrike chance, and haste. The buff stack erodes by one each 3 seconds.

Current strategy is to let a character with improved speed (like a cat-form druid) wield the flamethrower. Burn away the Creeping Moss until your heat gauge exceeds 3/4, then deactivate the flamethrower. Switch back to DPSing the boss or adds (aided by your Burning Infusion stacks) until your heat is down to 1/10 and find another strip of Creeping Moss to burn away till your heat gets high. The realities of the battle will probably force you to use your flamethrower at other times.
