Overview

Sor'jek Incanni is seeking to create an army of Giants and other creatures, promising to return the Giants to the glory days of the Stormreaver. Travel to Tempest's Spine and stop the Storm Giant's plans.

Note: unlike the heroic version of Tempest's Spine, this raid has the standard 3-day raid lockout timer. No flagging is required.

Tips and Misc

The tips for this quest are pretty much identical to its heroic version, although you will need at least the Olipar Rune here, or Sor'jek's regeneration will keep him standing long enough to trigger his full-heal effect, and most parties will struggle to last long enough to bring him down after this.
