TheWoWDBStage 6: To drain her shield you need to pull the two Duskwatch Spellblades down the hall then throw the Telemancy Orbs where they were standing. Slowly dps the Duskwatchers until her shield is gone. If you don't, the withered will just help you attack and will die.

Withered? WHAT WITHERED ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I can't see any withered.
Oh. I'm meant to use the Telemancy Orbs sitting in my bags the whole time to SUMMON the withered. Whoops.
To drain the shield, throw the orb down the stairs (both sides). Where the Duskwatch Spellblades are coming from.

It is time. Valtrois is ready to destroy the barrier guarding the breach in the Sanctum. I will teleport you to the breach, then it falls on you to secure the area. Take these telemancy orbs. If you find you need support, use them to summon Withered. We must strike before the enemy can ready new defenses. Let me know when you are ready and we will begin.
