WoW MoP Classic Protectors Of The Endless Heroic Mode Guide

Posted: Sep 09, 2025 Views: 18

The third raid in the first phase of WoW MoP Classic, Terrace of Endless Spring, has been developed. Each raid represents the current state-of-the-art equipment, with rewards including Mists of Pandaria classic gold and various materials. In this raid, you'll face four bosses: Protectors of the Endless, Tsulong, Lei Shi, and Sha of Fear.

Protectors of the Endless is the first boss and the only boss in Pandaria with a Hard Mode. Because this boss fight involves three Guardian enemies, its difficulty and rewards depend on which Guardian you defeat last.

Protectors Of The Endless Mechanics

This encounter involves three bosses, each with its own unique abilities. There's no set order for defeating the bosses, but each boss defeated grants the remaining bosses a stack of Sha Corruption, restoring health to full and granting them an additional ability.

  • Hard Mode: Defeat Protector Kaolan last.
  • Medium Mode: Kill Elder Regail last.
  • Easy Mode: Kill Elder Asani last.

Completing Hard Mode increases the loot by 7 item levels, making it the best reward for your first boss fight. If you're not aiming for the highest rewards, the recommended kill order is: Protector Kaolan > Elder Regail > Elder Asani. The normal rewards are only item-level 496 gear and MoP Classic gold.

Each boss gains an AoE ability upon death, and each AoE inflicts a stack of damage-increasing debuff on the player. If the debuff stacks too high, it will increase healing pressure.

This debuff can be cleared by Asani's Corrupted Waters. Therefore, you can save Asani for last. Furthermore, since Kaolan's abilities after one Corruption are the most difficult to deal with and he has the highest health, killing Kaolan first will make things easier.

Team Configuration And Core Mechanics

This section focuses on team configurations and some mechanics for a 25-player Heroic Mode raid.

The recommended team configuration is 2 tanks with 5-6 healers, and the remaining DPS. DPS is crucial in this encounter, but the pressure on healers will be particularly severe in the later stages, so you can consider deploying 6 healers.

In Heroic Mode, be aware of Minions of Fear. They will spawn above the stairs and head towards the guardian with the lowest health.

  • Encountering Bosses: Apply a stack of Greater Corrupted Essence to the boss, increasing its damage by 10%. Upon reaching 5 stacks, it will explode, almost guaranteeing a wipe.
  • Killed By players: Upon exploding, it will apply a stack of Corrupted Essence to the 5 nearest players. Each stack increases their damage by 10% for 2 minutes, up to a maximum of 10 stacks. At 10 stacks, the player explodes, dealing significant damage to the raid.

The optimal goal is to increase the damage of all DPS gradually and healers while ensuring no one reaches 10 stacks. This can be achieved using a plugin like Exorsus Raid Tools to monitor the total stack count for the raid.

Minions of Fear can also be slowed, so the raid can manage Corrupted Essence buff stacks by arranging kill groups and rotating them around to kill the minions.

Boss Skills And Killing Phases

For optimal Heroic Mode rewards, kill the bosses in the order of Regail > Asani > Kaolan.

Phase 1: Kill Elder Regail

Lightning Bolt

it deals Nature damage and can be interrupted.

Lightning Cage

Targets three players, traps them after a few seconds, and deals damage to nearby players. Regail's Lightning Cage deals low damage, so be careful to stay away from any trapped teammates.

Lightning Storm

If you don't kill it first, it gains this skill, which deals a large AoE Nature damage.

Phase 2: Kill Elder Asani

Water Arrow

It can be interrupted.

Cleansing Waters

Summons a pool of water at your feet, providing significant healing and buffs to any boss standing within it. The tank must pull the boss out of the pool and dispel its buffs, while other players can stand within the pool to benefit from the healing and reduce the healing pressure.

Corrupted Waters

Asani's ability arrives after Regail's death. It summons a water orb that significantly increases the attack and casting speed of the remaining bosses. Destroying this orb is essential to prioritizing activation. Destroying it grants a Purification effect to all players within 15 yards, increasing their melee, ranged, and casting speed by 100% for 20 seconds.

Phase 3: Kill Protector Kaolan

Protector Kaolan possesses two stacks of damage buffs in Phase 3. His permanent DoT, high tank damage, and Expel Corruption ability combine to create a critical challenge for team survival and DPS output. Therefore, the higher your DPS, the better. Prolonged damage can lead to a team wipe.

Sha Corruption

Applies a permanent, undispellable DoT to a player every 12 seconds or so. Over time, this DoT will affect nearly the entire raid, soaring the healing pressure.

Defiled Ground (After Regail's Death)

Black water forms beneath the current tank, inflicting increasing damage. This requires the tank to move quickly, and a mid-phase tank swap is necessary to allow the debuff to wear off.

Expel Corruption (As The Last Survivor)

Casts approximately every 40 seconds, releasing a massive ring of shadowy energy within a 30-yard radius. The closer you are, the greater the damage, so it's important to avoid it early and avoid taking it head-on.

Requirements For Classes

During the third phase, the tank needs to be proficient in using their personal damage reduction skills and requesting external damage reduction. Pull Kaolan to a wall and position Expel Corruption ring at the edge.

Healers need to orchestrate their team's damage reduction chain throughout the encounter carefully. This encounter may require frequent, prolonged healing, typically every 10 seconds. Therefore, healers will need to manage their mana and can use some WoW MoP Classic gold to obtain restoration potions.

DPS's primary focus is to avoid all avoidable damage to relieve pressure on healers. This can be achieved by staying in Cleansing Waters of Asani.

Protectors of the Endless is not difficult as the first boss, but it is also quite challenging in Hard mode, and you can get 516 epic equipment, which is still worth a try, but you need to communicate well with the team.
