Make sure you're running over top the little lightning orbs that drop from dead mobs, otherwise you'll quickly run out of zappy energy and get overwhelmed. They're a little hard to see if you're not looking for them.

Just run in the area and aoe Faithless with [spell=267347]
You get charge from small electric ball lightnings that sometimes spawn over the corpse of Faithless you kill with the [spell=267347]
You just need to walk over them to charge the Bulwark
It is really hard to see, but it is also hard to get out of charge, so it's just a special case.This quest counts to Vorrik's Champion achievement

What to do
Description
It seems I underestimated Korthek's cowardice. I expected him to be behind the barrier, ready to ambush us. Yet, still he hides. That allows us a few moments to prepare. We musn't waste them. While I siphon power off of these immense crystals, you must thin the numbers of the Faithless here. I will grant you a powerful boon to speed you in your task. When Korthek arrives, he will require our full attention.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Vengeance From Above
Emperor Korthek hides deep in his stolen temple below ground. We must create such chaos that he has no choice but to emerge to face us. The vulpera riot is a good start, but it will not be enough. Alone, they are no match for the Faithless army. Thankfully, they are not alone.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Relics of Sethraliss
It may surprise you to learn that the Faithless hoard ancient relics of Sethraliss. I assure you that they do not do so out of reverence or respect, as is proper. Korthek's brood is driven only by greed and an insatiable lust for power.
