Rising high above the east coast of Pandaria, the Temple of the Jade Serpent stands as a sacred monument to the legendary pandaren emperor Shaohao's victory over the Sha of Doubt thousands of years ago.

Sha of Doubt
The physical manifestation of suspicion was trapped in the Jade Forest after Emperor Shaohao defeated the entity 10,000 years ago. The Sha of Doubt then grew obsessed with the Jade Serpent--Yu'lon, the Spirit of Wisdom and Foresight--and now delights in the thought of corrupting her home.
Abilities & Strategy
Wither Will
The Sha of Doubt withers the will of 2 random players, inflicting Shadow damage.
Touch of Nothingness
The Sha of Doubt seeps a profound sense of nothingness into the minds of a random player. The doubt causes the player to periodically inflict Shadow damage to nearby players every 1.5 seconds.
Figments of Doubt
The Sha of Doubt forces all players to face a figment of their own doubt.
Gathering Doubt
Each Figment of Doubt siphons energy from a player. When completely infused with energy, the Figment explodes and inflicts Shadow damage and healing the Sha of Doubt for 10% of its total health.

Players must extinguish the suns from the sky. Defeating each Sun causes Haunting Sha to appear and attack Zao Sunseeker and the players.
