Laj

Template:Bc Template:Tempest Keep

The fourth boss of The Botanica wing of the Tempest Keep instance in Netherstorm, it is kind of a Lasher.

Laj's room

Upon entering the room you will see a fight going on in the center. Feel free to watch, it is not advised that you get involved if at all possible.

When the fight is over, you will likely have two NPCs stood there. BE ADVISED that they may be bugged and un-killable (29th Jan 07 - Also tested February 8, 2007 still un-killable testet 10/2-07 no longer bugged!!!) and if you aggro them accidentally you will need to exit the instance (or vanish/feign/invis) to drop aggro.

They can be passed to proceed onto the final boss, but it may require a mind soothe or a sap on the NPC closest to the door. If you hug the wall you can go to the final boss with out any needs of these.

Fight

Periodically spawns two Thorn Lashers and teleports to his original position. Assign one dps to kill each spawn and continue business as usual on Laj. The spawns can be several different types some doing a mind flay, thrown damage, etc.

Laj puts a disease on the tank, that should be cleansed since it increase the damage the tank takes. Laj will also randomly change color, when he does this he will be resistant to certain types of magic ( just like the mobs on both sides of the Botanist), Blue (Frost resistant), Red(Fire resistant), Green( Nature resistant), Black (Shadow). there is also arcane but at this time it's not known if he gets resistant to that as he went down in 3 color changes or less, and altho it didnt seem to make much of a difference for our group at the time, it may save you some time and mana, and increase the damage he takes.

Bugged Room fight

Laj room was also bugged for us, but we've found a really easy way to kill it while not aggroing bugged mobs. Just aggro Laj and run back to previous room. Dps Laj right after it crosses doorway. After a while it will teleport back to his place and will come back to "fight room". As warlock I placed [Curse of Doom] on him and since fight took more than 3 minutes because of teleporting and running back - it had chance to hit him 3 times. So dots helps a lot in this fight. We had non-elite lashers comming to the room from time to time. Just dps those down. The major downfall of this strategy is after Laj is dead - his spawns are still standing in their natural spawn position and you remain in combat. This means you have to run in and dps them fast (since there might be several lashers on one spawn point) or wait till they despawn (despawn not confirmed - we killed them after Laj). GL :)
