Lore
Stormwind rests, away from the war of the world. It slowly is rebuilding itself after the terrible Cataclysm. Suddenly the holding cells of the most violent and depraved criminals is broken, setting off a bloody attack in the hear of the capitol. The prisoners overwhelm the cities guards and manage to take Anduin Wrynn hostage. As soldiers begin to push them back is becomes clear that something far more sinister is at work than just a few raging prisoners. The forces of Stormwind finally manage to confine them within there former prison, but it soon settles into a stalemate, with Anduin trapped inside Varian Wrynn Calls out to the adventurers of the world to help him put down the rebellion and save his son.

Getting There
Both factions must complete a short quest chain before being able to enter

Horde
The Horde quest begins by talking to Varok Saurfang. He informs you of what has happened and says that because of the mercy Varian showed in Icecrown, he will try and help save his son. He sends you to Garona Halforcen to ask her to deliver the message to Jaina Proudmore. Upon returning to Varok, Jaina teleports in and opens a portal to the Vault.


Alliance
The Alliance chain starts by talking to Malfurion Stormrage who says that he received a Message from Jaina asking the player to request assistance from Garona. The player is sent to Garona to get her assistance in tracking down one of few prisoners released from the vault. The player is than sent to Jaina outside the vault, Garona appears and says that the man was already dead.

[Dark Side]

Stormwind Vault is a very real thing on priavet servers, at least it is/was on Smolderforgestupid henhouse....

[macke]

Kinda like it, but havent we had enough wave instances already? I mean they are no fun.

[Lionheart]

so assuming that jaina wont one shot the horde as soon as she sees them im quite doubtful this may happen. one reason is that if Saurfang wants to aid the king than in Garrosh's eyes hes a traitor im sure the warcheif of the horde is gonna wonder where his best 25 soilders are. And if Anduin was kidnapped King Varian wouldnt be writting letters. if he was kidnapped im sure varian would go in there and 1 shot people like in the battle for the UC.

not a bad idea tho im just saying their are alot of things in the lore that would disprove that becoming a raid

[MHSmooth13]

I think its a good idea for an instance. I agree with the previous poster though, I think the waves thing has been done enough. I would like to see one thats non-linear and has different routes/goals that are required for the final encounter. It could be timed or have some timed wings to it.

Stopping the Outbreak
This is the initial area in the raid. Working much like the waves in Caverns of Time: Mount Hyjal. There are three waves and than a boss, with three bosses in total.

Types of Mobs

Corrupted Guard
Shield Bash: Smashes a shield into the target dealing damage and causing the target to be knocked back
Empowered Fortifications: For the next 5 seconds all damage done will be reflected back at the attacker
Threat Assessment : Resets the threat of all allies within 20 yards

Defias Elite
Artery Piercing: Causes the target to bleed for 10 seconds
Firm Hand: Silences the target for 5 seconds
Dismantle: Reduces the targets armor by 50% for 15 seconds

Rogue Mage
Fire Wave: Shoots a wave of fire in a cone in front of the caster, dealing fire damage and causing fire damage over 7 seconds
Frost Nova: Freezes all targets within 10 yards in place
Arcane Thievery : Stuns the target and drains 20% of there mana over 10 seconds

Dark Priest
Syphon Health: Drains 45% of the targets health over 5 seconds
Dark Healing: Heals the target for 5% of there health and causes all damage done to the target for the next 10 seconds to be reduced by 50%
Maddening Revelation: Causes the target to run in fear for 5 seconds

Waves 1-3

Wave 1: 2 Corrupted Guards, 1 Defias Elite, 1 Rogue Mage, 1 Dark Priest
Wave 2: 1 Corrupted Guard, 1 Defias Elite, 2 Rogue Mages, 2 Dark Priests
Wave 3: 2 Corrupted Guards, 2 Defias Elite, 1 Rogue Mage, 2 Dark Priests

Makar the Insane

Phase 1
Quick Strikes : Strikes three times for normal damage, hitting the enemy and the target closest to it
Speedy Hands : Increases Attack Speed by 150% for 20 seconds
Fit of Insanity: Jumps toward the target, knocking them back and dealing damage
Glorious Giggle: Laughs Intensely Increasing movement speed by 200% and damage and attack speed by 50%

Phase 2
Infectious Insanity : Causes the target to gain 5 stacks of Insanity
Insanity: The Target is insane and will randomly target a player dealing damage until all stacks of insanity have been removed,If the target dies while the person infected with insanity is attacking them than the insane person gains five more stacks of insanity, stacks up to 50 times
Sanity Syphon : Steals the targets Sanity causing them to take damage every 2 seconds, also inflicts the person with 5 stacks of Unstable Mentality
Unstable Mentality: Reduces all Damage done by 90%, Negates all damage and healing done by everyone except players afflicted with Saving Sanity, One stack is removed for a certain amount of damage caused or for every certain amount of healing done to them, stacks up to 10 times
Madness Harvest: Harvests a person with Unstable Mentality, the caster gains mental rage
Mental Rage : Increases all Damage done by 200% and instantly casts Sanity Syphon on a random target, Stacks up to 10 times
Limited Sanity : Heals the target to full health and casts Saving Sanity on them
Saving Sanity: Allows the target to consume Unstable Mentality

Explanation of Phase 1
Phase 1 is a fairly simple tank and spank with one exception, the need to remove Glorious Giggle, if Glorious Giggle stacks with Speedy Hands than quick strikes will hit so fast and so hard the healers will not be able to keep up with the damage spikes. Glorious Giggle is only cast after Fit of Insanity so you have about five seconds to remove the enrage effect before the tank becomes unhealable. Phase one continues until 85%

Explanation of Phase 2
At the beginning of Phase 2 Makar will stop dealing damage and cast Limited Sanity on a person, he will than begin dealing damage on the tank again and cast Infectious Insanity on a random target. The target infected with insanity will than begin attacking a random target, a healer needs to be assigned to keep the person being attacked from dying. At 80% health he will cast Sanity Syphon on a random target. The person that has Saving Sanity on them must now target and ether heal or dps the person infected with Insanity for 500,000. Each time !00,000 damage or healing is done the target loses one stack of insanity and the person targeting them gains one stack of Stable Sanity. Once the player has 5 Stacks of Stable Sanity they must run to the person with Unstable Mentality and again do 500,000 damage or healing, each 100,000 done removing one stack of Unstable Mentality and one stack of Stable Sanity. If the player afflicted with Unstable Mentality is not cleansed within 1 minute of being infected than Makar will gain Mental Rage, And while the fight is still do able with only one stack of it on, if it stacks to two or three the tank will be taking too high of spike damage to heal. In addition to his new abilities Makar also retains all his abilities from Phase One except Fit of Insanity. This continues until death.

hmmm, like say each win has to be defeated in under a minute or there is an enrage?

Unstable Mentality: Reduces all Damage done by 90%, Negates all damage and healing done by everyone except players afflicted with Saving Sanity, One stack is removed for a certain amount of damage caused or for every certain amount of healing done to them, stacks up to 10 times

whats the point of that stacking 10 times? cuz then u wouldnt b able to do the damage needed to get out of it.... just wondering

the idea is that the person with Saving Sanity will ether damage or heal them, having it on them makes them susceptible to friendly fire
