Last wiki revision 2023-04-28
Brackenspore is the fourth boss of Highmaul in.
''The Iron Horde juggernaut moored in the waters beside Highmaul drew the attention of Brackenspore, ancient walker of the deep. The aquatic giant spreads fungal growth and moss in his wake, and is driven by primal instinct to eradicate any traces of civilization on .''
Brackenspore emerges from the infested waters beneath the cliffs of Highmaul, spreading fungal growth that will engulf the beach if left unchecked. Players must use available Flamethrowers to keep Creeping Moss in check, while defeating hostile fungi that Brackenspore creates in his wake.
- Grab the attention of Fungal Flesh-Eaters as they stream in from the sea.
- Interrupt Decay which is cast by the Fungal Flesh-Eaters.

- Intercept the damage from Spore Shot away from other players, to avoid splashing the damage.
- Heal friendly mushrooms to full to gain their effects. Once they are healed to full they will begin to wither and die at an increasing rate. Keep them healed in order to maintain their beneficial effects.
- Heal Living Mushrooms to full to gain Living Spores in order to survive the damage caused by Infesting Spores.
Players may use this weapon to burn away Creeping Moss.
An important mechanic throughout the fight is the two people who use the flamethrowers to burn away the. If any fungal creature stands in Creeping Moss it receives healing, so keep the boss and adds out of it.
Once you have picked up the flamethrower you gain a heat gauge and an ExtraActionButton1 which toggles the flamethrower. If you leave the flamethrower on long enough to max out the heat gauge it overheats and becomes unusable for 10 seconds. Never ever allow this to happen. The flames from the flamethrower are emitted in the direction of the player's movement, so "strafing" does not have the effect you would hope. Just imagine you're mowing a lawn.
Using the flamethrower gives the player stacks which increase critical strike chance, multistrike chance, and haste. The buff stack erodes by one each 3 seconds.
Current strategy is to let a character with improved speed (like a cat-form druid) wield the flamethrower. Burn away the Creeping Moss until your heat gauge exceeds 3/4, then deactivate the flamethrower. Switch back to DPSing the boss or adds (aided by your Burning Infusion stacks) until your heat is down to 1/10 and find another strip of Creeping Moss to burn away till your heat gets high. The realities of the battle will probably force you to use your flamethrower at other times.
