I thought I might give this series of quests a try while in between BfA leveling, at 213 with a mix of heirlooms and other gear at an iLevel of 235 plus food & other buffs. All was fine until I hit a group of about six or seven in the first chamber just before the first boss. The big problem was not that there were a lot of mobs or that they were elite; it was solely a matter of chain stun. I was locked in place after landing the first hit. I tried Vengeful Retreat, Netherwalk and Shadowmeld. One or two of those might have countered the first or second stun but then there was the third, fourth, etc.

Granted, the dungeons aren't designed for higher-level soloists and I'm not a completionist but it was kind of disappointing. It's not like I'm likely to level another Demon Hunter; one is great but one is enough. So I guess it's adios to the Broken Shores. Well, we had some fun, didn't we?

Description

The Wardens made good on the deal. All that's left is to travel to the Isle of the Watchers off of southwest Azsuna. There, you'll need to break back in to the Vault of the Wardens and descend down into its lowest recesses where we were once imprisoned. Within the so-called Vault of the Betrayer, where the Wardens once held the Master's corpse, you'll find Sargerite Keystone. Good luck, {name}.

Entrance: Azsuna at 48.3, 80.1.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Strange BedfellowsLevel 45

    The reason why I came out here was to capture or kill a fel lord named, Lochaber. I am no longer in a capturing mood. I'll grab my weapon and then head up to the bridge in front of the Gates of Valor. That place is a scary mess full of Felskorn vrykul and demons. How do you think I got caught?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Crux of the PlanLevel 45

    We have Akama. Cordana Felsong has been eliminated. And, we have the Sargerite Keystone. Everything is falling into place. The honor is all yours, <name>.
