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

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 0% of its total health.

Lorewalker Stonestep

The Sha of Doubt's minions gleefully invaded the Temple of the Jade Serpent's library, creating twisted, destructive versions of heroes and other characters of pandaren lore. Despite his best efforts, Lorewalker Stonestep has been unable to restore these manifestations of the past to their uncorrupted forms.

Abilities & Strategy

A young Yaungol faces his own Strife and Peril. He must find a balance between the two to set his soul free.

Strife and Peril
Agony

Agony arcs through the enemy's mind, inflicting Shadow damage.

Intensity

Focusing your attacks on either Strife or Peril feeds the entity, causing it to inflict Fire damage to all surrounding players and increasing damage dealt by 0%. This effect stacks. Upon reaching 10 stacks, this entity gains Ultimate Power and immunity to all damaging effects for 15 sec.

Dissipation

Ignoring Strife or Peril will starve the entity, causing it to slowly dissipate to nothingness. Damage dealt is reduced by 0% per application.

The Champion of the Five Suns

In the days of old, five suns burned brightly in the sky. Great fires would sweep through the lands of Pandaria until the day that Zao Sunseeker shot a defiant arrow into the sky, bringing down 4 of the 5 suns.

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