Dungeon - Mists of Pandaria
Siege of Niuzao Temple
4 encounters and 51 drops. Every drop links to its item page; tradeable drops carry a live Auction House price.
Niuzao Temple extends across two fortified islands far beyond a towering wall called the Serpent's Spine. For years, tenacious pandaren defenders have protected the narrow bridges connecting the isles, staving off any would-be invaders. Yet recently, the mantid created their own bridge--a massive tree root--and seized one of the islands by surprise. Now, these brutal insectoids are poised to assault Niuzao's remaining guardians.

Encounters
NNormalHHeroic
General Pa'valak
The pragmatic General Pa'valak does not fear the pandaren or their allies, and he does not differentiate between using his own might and that of his mantid armies to defeat his enemies. Victory is the only honor he seeks, and Pa'valak will not tolerate failure should his minions fall short of their goal.

Vizier Jin'bak
Vizier Jin'bak roams just beyond the mantid's natural bridge, collecting the tree root's precious sap. Using his vast alchemical knowledge, this formidable being is transforming the substance into weapons and other tools that will help advance the siege on Niuzao Temple.
Abilities & Strategy
Sap Puddle
The Sap Puddle grows over time, inflicting Nature damage over 1 sec to enemies who touch it. Touching the Sap Puddle also causes it to shrink in size.

Wing Leader Ner'onok
Wing Leader Ner'onok's decisive blows have won a hundred battles. The small gains General Pa'valak has made are nothing compared to the victory Ner'onok believes he could achieve if he were in command. Although his aerial attacks have thus far devastated the temple's guardians, the winged terror still longs for a chance to prove his superiority over the general.
Abilities & Strategy
Hurl Brick
Ner'onok throws rubble from the damaged bridge at his target, inflicting Physical damage equal to 0% of his weapon damage.
Caustic Pitch
Ner'onok throws a glob of Caustic Pitch at a random location. The glob inficts Nature damage every 1 sec. and reduces the movement speed of players touching it by 0%.
Quick-Dry Resin
Ner'onok sprays a target with heated resin. As the resin hardens it inflicts Fire damage every 1 sec. If this process completes the target becomes encased in resin and cannot move or act for 6 sec. Jumping counteracts this effect and if the target breaks free they become Invigorated, increasing casting and movement speeds by 0% for 30 sec.
Treacherous Winds
Twice during the fight Nero'nok lifts off and flies to the other end of the bridge. Upon landing he periodically channels Gusting Winds until interrupted.
Gusting Winds
Ner'onok beats his wings fiercely, creating a powerful gale that pushes enemies away from him at high speed.

Windblast HelmWindblast HelmCommander Vo'jak
What Commander Vo'jak lacks in strategic brilliance, he makes up for with raw ferocity. His devastating strikes were crucial to the mantid's exploitation of their insidious bridge, allowing them to infiltrate the island. Yet devising battle plans is for the mantid general; Vo'jak craves only blood.
