Once a staunch ally in Alterac Valley, Ivus the Forest Lord succumbed to the Horde's defilement after returning to defend Darkshore. Even in decay, with his mind twisted by dark magic, he would rather be cut down than cede even a single inch of the forest to his enemies.

  • Overview - Ivus the Decayed often uses abilities to attack several players at random and will retreat to the safety of his Petrified Bark when at low health.
    • Tanks -
      • Ivus will cast Plague Breath in your direction, leaving a Plagued Bog on the ground beneath you.
      • Fungal Bloom will leave a few clear areas on initial impact before spreading.
      • Plaguelings summoned while Ivus is Petrified fixate on players at random and cannot be controlled through threat generation.
    • Healers -
      • Hurl Blight will hit players at random.
      • Fungal Bloom will leave a few clear areas on initial impact before spreading.
      • Plaguelings will channel Devour on a random player until they are dispatched.
    • Damage Dealers -
      • Hurl Blight will hit players at random.
      • Fungal Bloom will leave a few clear areas on initial impact before spreading.
      • Ivus will remain immune to damage while Petrified. Dispatch all active Plaguelings to make Ivus end the Petrification.
  • Plague Breath - Inflicts 30 Plague damage to all enemies in a cone in front of the caster.
    • Plagued Bog - You take 30 Plague damage every second you remain in the area and your movement speed is reduced by 20%.
  • Hurl Blight - Hurls several boulders at random enemies, inflicting 30 Plague damage to players within 3 yards of their impact.
  • Shockwave - The caster slams the ground, sending a shockwave out in front of the caster that inflicts 30 Physical damage to all players caught in its path.
  • Fungal Bloom - The caster spreads plague throughout the land around them, causing several fungal blooms to grow rampantly. Standing in the blooms causes players to take 60 Plague damage.
  • Petrify - The caster enters a petrified state and calls forth a swarm of plaguelings to fight for them. While petrified, the caster is immune to all damage.
    Defeating all of the plaguelings will end the petrification effect.
    • Plagueling -
      • Devour - Each plagueling focuses on a random target, inflicting 10 Shadow damage every second.



Bonus Event Quest Reward Tooltip Error
The weekly quest for the BfA Bonus Dungeon event still rewards a Heroic piece of Uldir gear. The quest is displaying a normal cache, but this is just a tooltip error that will be fixed.

It's still a Heroic piece - this is just a tooltip issue (which we're working to fix). (WarcraftDevs)

    Alliance now control Darkshore in US realms. Not EU. You have to specify, please. Don't forget, my dear Americans, you aren't the only region that has millions of WoW players

    EU alliance do, however, gain control in 2.5 hours.

    Well, because of the ".com" I'm under the assumption this is a north american page, which would justify their public being people from the region. But since servers all over are mostly alligned, you could consider it some news sent from the future lol

    It goes without saying that when the US control Warfront, or when raids launch or when patches go live, that the EU will be the next day. It doesn’t need to be said because that’s how it’s always - that and this website is purely US focused.

    EU just had their weekly reset and the Saurfang quest is not active yet.

    Don't know how you come to that conclusion. They do work. At least i got an item through bonus roll.

    Had to kill it twice for the bonusroll to pop.

    The Darkshore portal is not visible on characters who did not complete the Tyrande questline, but the warfront assault was an account wide unlock. Hope this isnt intended.

    Most likely unintended as my Horde characters all had it visible and my alts have not finished the main storyline quest lines. At least there’s an easy way to get there if you go to Stormwind>Mt Hyjal>fly down to Darkshore. Tedious for now, but at least it’s pretty fast until Blizz gets the portal issue fixed.
    Might also be a bug with the Arathi portal still being active.

    That said, I’m curious what these lasting consequences will be with the Saurfang questline other than if you get a toy or not. Short of a popular opinion vote for who they put in power at the end of it, Syl or someone else, I don’t see how any lasting decision will be relevant in a game like WoW. Not to mention the...ahem...dynamic A.I. and dynamic changing tactics and objectives with Island Expeditions and Warfronts.

    Ok that is strange. But seems you were not the only one that had problems. Just kill it again should work eventually.

    All you have to do to get the Darkshore portal to appear for those alts is abandon the "On Whispered Winds" quest (the quest that the owl gives you).

    Lakeshire Inn, an opportune moment of world pvp.

    It's almost like this has nothing to do with the start of week (ie reset) and everything to do with the fact that the faction did what was needed to switch ownership.
