Where is vortex pinnacle wow

Asaad is the final boss of the instance. He's a djinn. Watch out for his Chain Lightning. It'll chain onto five targets, so stay spread out. Now, Asaad has an incredibly damaging ability called Supremacy of the Storm whereby the entire combat area gets struck by massive lightning.

How does one survive this storm ability? Before Asaad calls upon the storm, he is going to channel a spell called Unstable Grounding Field. He is going to literally draw and connect three points anywhere in the immediate area. All you need to do is stand within the three points. If your party can do that, they'll be able to withstand the hit.

See the screenshot below for clarity. Notice how the three points have been made. That point on the bottom is going to link up with the point near it completing the triangle, and that's your cue to enjoy the light show about to hit the platform.

Unfortunately, both it and Stonecore — which also doesn't give reputation — are possibilities if you choose to do a non-heroic Random Cataclysm Dungeon in LFD at Comment by citrique Fun fact: If you have a priest in your group, they can mind control the Tol'vir trash after the second boss.

More fun fact: You can run said mind controlled trash mobs off the edge and they die. Comment by Jaromor Traps within the electric triangles don't work. If the mobs are static and hunter doesn't respond to "freezing" mark it doesn't mean he's sleeping, it means he will trap after the pull. Comment by ugmuck For everyone trying to find the place for the first time. The Vortex Pinnacle is a set of floating towers that are in the skies above the sea a short distance from the shoreline of Uldum.

It is located a touch south and east of the City of the Tol' vir which is on the southern coast of Uldum in the river delta with the lush greenry. If you are looking at the map in Warcraft, you will find The Lost City of the Tol' vir at the mouth of the main river in the delta.

And slightly south east of that looking at the map in Warcraft it would be a touch lower and to the right is the Vortex Pinnacle floating in the air off the coast. It is almost directly south of the Halls of Origination.

The Throne of Winds is to the other floating towers complex. It is to the south of the Ruins of Ammon. It is where a raid is located and not the instance of the Vortex Pinnacle. The entrance to the instance is on a platform near the top of the center tower. Comment by NaughtyPuppy For those with rep tabards on, I received 1, Tharazane reputation for clearing this on Heroic.

Comment by Rough guide through the insance NOTE: Some of the trash stratagies may be out of order sorry if they are. Pretty much youll start out with some cloud princes and adds that do mediu damage; these do some knockbacks and the adds are casters so nontankable at a location of ur choosing unless u interupt them. Watch out for Lurking Tempests: dont kill them, but when you turn your back they'll fire lightning bolts at you.

Also, howling gales, or little orbs that knowck you off the platform if you come too close, need to be dps'd a little to temorarily deactivate their knockback. You gotta be inside the circle of whirlwinds, and try not to touch them, or you'll get a debuff.

When he pulls them in, get out of the circle or you'll get lots of damage. On heroic mode he also summons lurking tempests, just adds a bit more dps on the group members Take the whirlwind to the next platform.

Later you will encounter a large amount of mobs lined up a spiraling staircase. Take one side and stay out of their aoe, and dps down the assasins first if there are any. When you meet stone drakes they will cast a healing well that is on the ground below them; the tank or ranged group members must pull them out of their well and then dps them down group members can stand in the well to get healed!

Second boss-Altairus This is a drake boss that can drop a real nice and rare flying mount. Pretty much try to avoid his beth but if you can't its all good and its pretty easily healed through.

Stay on the side that gives you a speed increase buff Thats pretty much it, but in heroic he also summon a bunch of hurricans that will move around constantly and will toss you up if you make contact Tke the whirlwind to the next platform. Next you'll meat a group of mobs with some nonmana npc's and some with mana.

The temple adepts that have mana should be CC'd as they provide HUGE heals at little expensive to their mana, and there are usually 2 per group. When you encounter mobs within a type of electric triangle, the tank must pull one and LoS using the orner that is up the stairs. If the group is in the triangle, all spells cast against them will be redirected, and therefore CC's will be useless; CC the mobs as they make their way upth stairs.

You will then encounter Skyfall Stars, or a swirl of arcane type orbs: they are nontankable and do a good amount of damage, so just burn em down quickly with your dps. Third and Last boss-Asaad This boss is pretty much a tank and spank up to the point where he starts casting a grounding field which looks like an electrical triangle, get under it asap.

After the triangle forms, he will port up to it and chanel an aoe that will kill you in like 2 seconds if your not under the triangle. Also, during the fight, he will cast a chain bolt that can do serious damage if the group isnt spread out. He also casts a snare type spell i think its called static something lol that you can avoid by jumping before he casts it, but it is dispellable, so its not neccesary to avoid.

A fun and a bit chalenging instance if you have a good group. Enjoy :D. Comment by mclaren There is a video that shows how to find the entrance to The Vortex Pinnacle and how to get back in if you die!

I hope it helps. Comment by rawryer Rogues can sap the add that is near the edge on 2 group of adds that took shielding under the static spell shield. Allowing the whole group to sneak throught. Save u couple minutes and a lot of pain. Comment by Dedmeett As a 90 blood DK, ilvl , the heroic version of this isn't to different from soloing the regular version at Did it yesterday farming glory cheeves- the golden orbs require getting a bit creative on 'looting' them.

Biggest difference is 'Static Cling' on Asaad. Where you need to jump to avoid the "cling" or else you die from the area of effect electrocution. So assumming you kill this guy on heroic, solo, you're gonna get the cheeve.

Comment by Nightwisp Requires item lvl Comment by peilthetraveler Some of you 90s that never did this in the 80s with a group might be having a little trouble trying to figure out how to get to the next platform like I did.

I kept jumping into the vortexes and kept ending up at the beginning. I didnt figure it out until my mouse accidently scrolled over the vortex to see that you have to click it to ride it to the next platform.

They both resemble each other. While Stonecore's ruler is somewhat of a good nature, The Vortex ruler is of a Evil nature and is sided with the antagonist. Both Areas are ruled by a elemental Lord. And the Stonecore was watched over and ruled by Therazane the Stonemother, until the Twilight Hammer assaulted it.

And most importantly for farmers and collectors it houses 2 Dragons both being the 2nd boss of the instance that have a chance to drop a Flying mount that resembles the Boss. I thought these were interesting an might be worth pointing out. Let me know what you think and add any noticeable things you also want to point out. Comment by worthit Just a little info Normal You can enter this dungeon on foot at lvl You can queue this dungeon as specific dungeon lvl In the specific dungeon finder, this dungeon is yellow difficulty lvl You can queue this dungeon as random dungeon lvl You have to be lvl 81 to obtain the quests.

Item level requirement: Heroic You can enter this dungeon on foot at lvl See more in this guide. Comment by Aviatrixx Male sure, for Altairus, when he changes the wind, go upstream of him! It gives you an awesome buff, whereas going downstream gives you a painful debuff. I am so sick of people in a random dungeon group fighting downstream and not listening to chat..

Comment by MoarHeroisms If you have a stealth ability Camouflage works too you can bypass all the trash leading up to Altairus, then jump off to teleport to the entrance, taking at least four minutes to farm. I then flew to Uldum on my mount from there.

The entrance just to the south-east of Tol'Vir, very high in the sky. Some of the trash is a pretty standard affair, but there is some you might want to be careful with: After the first bridge and a few times after that, you'll come across a Lurking Tempest.

They aren't really worth trying to kill and have some wacky mechanics, they dissapear when you are facing them and then re-appear when you look away and cast at you. Best just to walk past them and continue to face them until you LoS.

Young Storm Dragon is nothing to worry about. But make sure that you pull him out of his healing circle, unless you want to spend forever fighting it. Howling Gale Don't bother killing it, they have a hefty bit of health and can just be ran past, as long as you smack them a few times to keep them from knocking you around.

Temple Adept Healers in a pack of Tol'Vir. If there is just one, I found I could focus it and down it before it had a chance to heal itself up, but when there are two I recommend you CC one until you kill the other. Bosses Grand Vizier Ertan was a piece of cake, I found that I was able to burst him down quick enough for him to be of no problem - 25 second kill time. Altairus was also extremely easy, same thing, just bursted and it died relatively fast.

And yes, no mount. Not that I'm here for it, or I wouldn't be running Heroic Asaad is the last encounter, and boy, he doesn't change the trend. He rooted me for 18 seconds and started to cast his "This will kill you" move If you've done this fight before, you know the one , but he was dead before he pulled it off.

I expected far more challenge and was left sort of under-whelmed. Comment by Nocked Not a friendly instance to grind the mount, like Stonecore which takes about 4 minutes per run.
