Priory of the Sacred Flame Layout
Dungeon Class Buffs and How to Obtain Them
Right at the start of the instance, after the first initial packs, there is a buff located in the middle called Blessing of the Sacred Flame, which can be exclusively claimed by any Paladin or Priest specialization.
- The buff lasts for 30 min.
- The buff enables you to damage spells and abilities to inflict extra Holy damage.
- The buff does NOT persist through death.
Captain Dailcry + Trash Mobs in the Area
Notable Trash Before Captain Dailcry
- Use disturb effects to stop the Defend channel from Arathi Footman. Be mindful of the number of mobs you pull with them as they will stackable healing reduce debuff on your tank - Mortal Strike.
- Stop casting before the Arathi Knight's Disrupting Shout finishes to prevent you from being interrupted. In addition, they will apply Impale Bleeds on random members from your party.
- Don't step in any of the Caltrops of the Fervent Sharpshooter to avoid unnecessary damage. They will continuously damage your party members with Shoot and Pot Shot.
- War Lynx will Pounce on a random member from your party and apply Grievous Rip Bleed effect.
- Interrupt Fanatical Conjuror's Fireball and sidestep their Flamestrike cast.
There are 3 mini bosses located in the first area, each with a unique set of abilities: Guard Captain Suleyman, High Priest Aemya and Forge Master Damian. Upon death, each of the "mini-bosses" will call out the one of the guards surrounding Captain Dailcry - Elaena Emberlanz, Sergeant Shaynemail and Taener Duelmal, removing the Strength in Numbers debuff from the boss (which is likely to be lethal for the whole party) or even worse, Bound by Fate on Mythic difficulty.
Captain Dailcry Guide
Here is what you should know about each of the guards surrounding Captain Dailcry, if, for any reason (I don't recommend this), you decide to pull the boss with all 3 surrounding it:
- Sergeant Shaynemail will cast Lunging Strike on your tank, dealing high about of upfront damage and applying a Bleed effect. Make sure you stay away from its Brutal Smash AoE ability to avoid unnecessary damage.
- Interrupt Taener Duelmal's Cinderblast and Fireball.
- At last, Elaena Emberlanz is the least dangerous one, your Healer must pay attention to her Holy Radiance group-wide damage, your Tank to be mindful of her Divine Judgment ability and your entire party to interrupt her Repentance.
All Roles
- Avoid the Hurl Spear frontal.
- Interrupt its Battle Cry Enrage cast.
- Use your defensive if you get targeted by the Savage Mauling cast.
Tank
- Use your active mitigation when Captain Dailcry uses its Pierce Armor, applying stackable Bleed effect.
Healer

- Make sure to keep everyone healthy after each Holy Radiance cast from Elaena Emberlanz.
Baron Braunpyke + Trash Mobs in the Area
