Karazhan - Moroes

Moroes, the Tower Steward, is an undead rogue boss found in Karazhan. Moroes is accompanied by four level 70 elite undead mobs; these four mobs are picked randomly from a list of six possibles mobs.

History

In "The Last Guardian," Moroes was described as Medivh's castellan. He was an oddly thin man, ghostly in appearance, who wore horse blinders over his eyes in order to escape the wandering visions that plagued Medivh's tower. He described to Khadgar, who had traveled from Dalaran to serve as Medivh's apprentice, how he had seen a vision of him breaking one of Cook's crystal dishes and - despite trying to avoid doing so - ended up shattering it anyway; he wore the blinders until the day he died. He was killed by Medivh in the final stages of his madness, and is now buried beside his master and Cook outside of Karazhan.

Moroes has apparently been resurrected by the new master of Karazhan, and is one of the first bosses encountered by adventurers. He seems to have retained much of his living personality.

Abilities

• Basic melee: 1600-2500 damage on plate wearers.
• Vanish: Vanishes, does not reset aggro.
• Garrote: After reappearing from vanish he will immediately garrote someone, dealing 1000 damage every 3 seconds for five minutes, a total of 100k damage. Can be removed by Divine Shield, Blessing of Protection, Ice Block, and Stoneform.
• Blind: A poison that occasionally blinds a target in melee range, causing them to wander. Dispellable. If one tank is gouged and the other tank is blinded, Moroes will run rampant on the group.
• Gouge: Gouges the person with the highest threat, incapacitating them for a few seconds. Moroes will then attack the person with the second highest threat.
• Enrage: When Moroes' health reaches 30% he will enrage.

Additional Mobs

Moroes will have four different mobs at his side in every instance. These mobs are easily crowd controlled by using Shackle Undead, Turn Evil, and Freezing Trap. The four mobs are randomly selected. See the box "Moroes' Dinner Guests" at the top right for more information on the possible adds.
