High Botanist Freywinn High Botanist Freywinn is the second boss of the Botanica wing of Tempest Keep in the Netherstorm . He appears to be a druid and is probably in charge of the experiments the blood elves are conducting on the plants in the Botanica . It seems he at some point had time to write a comprehensive botany guide ; Botanist ' s Field Guide . Spells and abilities . " Summoned Minions " : Fight . Once engaged , Freywinn spawns a small seedling elemental every few seconds . The seedlings have a low amount of health ( ~ 750 ) and need to be killed in order to avoid their special abilities , which vary based on their color : short freeze ( white ) , direct damage ( red ) , root ( green ) . Allocate one DPS to deal with them . Anyone with good burst damage can do the job . About every 30 seconds , he will transform into a treant ( much like a druid ' s Tree of Life Form ) , spawn three lashers , and start channeling Tranquility , which heals himself and the lashers . When Freywinn is in treant form , he is invulnerable and will keep channeling Tranquility . The Lashers also deal a thrown " Thorn " attack that hits for around 800 - 1000 damage . Only when all the three lashers are dead he will stop channeling Tranquility and return to the normal blood elf form . NOTE : This fight can go on indefinitely if Freywinn is allowed to continue to heal himself with the lashers . Kill them as fast as possible . There are several strategies to deal with the treant form phase : Line of sight strategy . The easiest strategy is to have the WHOLE group ( including healer and ranged DPS ! ) to move immediately out of line of sight of the lashers when they spawn . This is easily done by tanking the boss on the bridge during normal blood elf phase , and everyone run and hide behind the left corner to the bridge when he changes to treant form . If done correctly , the lashers will follow the group around the corner , out of Tranquility ' s range . Tank should use their AOE skills ( e . g . Thunderclap , Consecration , AoE taunt , etc . ) to aggro the lashers as quickly as possible . Start dps the lashers only when you are sure they are out of Tranquility . Damage dealers should target tank ' s target to reduce the chance of pulling aggro . When all three lashers are dead , the tank should run back to the boss and pull him back to the bridge . DPS can resume attacking the boss when the tank has grabbed aggro . Groups that fail to use this method may have made the following mistakes : Fear strategy . For those who failed with the above strategy , you can try fearing the lashers when they spawn , if you have a warrior , priest or warlock . Fear caused the adds to get out of Tranq range very quickly . DPS the lashers down one by one then . Focus fire strategy . For groups that cannot perform the line - of - sight strategy properly , and do not have fear , it is possible to kill the lashers one at a time even when they are within Tranq range , if all DPS focus on one target at a time . It is vital to kill the lashers quickly , thereby preventing the Botanist from healing himself out of control . Therefore , this strategy requires good DPS and the ability for everyone to focus on one target . Not a recommended strategy . Heroic mode . In heroic - mode , this fight is not much different to normal - mode . Same strategies apply . He does hit a fair bit harder , but nothing out of the ordinary . Quotes .
