In order to attack the Tower Defense Automatons you will need to set yourself at war with Gadgetzan. The Dragon version of the Tower Defense Automaton will be the one that knocks back, make sure you are near the edge of the platform facing northwest before engaging it as positioning the mob while fighting can be quite difficult and is unnecessarily dangerous.

He will thank you for healing him but needs to get down from the pillar.

Purifying Power — Reduces the cooldown on Exorcism and Holy Wrath by 50%, and Holy Wrath can now be cast at any target and will Stun Undead and Demon targets for 2 seconds.

To unlock this Rune, we will have to travel across Azeroth and activate four different Ley Crystals. This can be done one of two ways: any class can use the Worldcore Fragment, or if you have a Mage with you, they can use Scroll of Geomancy to channel into and activate the crystals.
