This page covers a healer-focused strategy for Battleguard Sartura in the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj. While it's tailored for healers, other roles may also find the information useful. If you have any suggestions or feedback, you can leave a comment below or tweet @PrestonDvorak.

This guide has been updated and maintained based on my own experiences with the encounter, logs information, and Dungeon Journal information. I'll continue to update it as-needed.

General Mechanics and Abilities

Healing Notes

The notes below mostly pertain to progression difficulty, meaning if you out-gear the difficulty you're on or use extra healers they may not apply.

• Due to Knockback, non-tank players may end up taking excessive damage, especially early on while the Royal Guards are still alive.
  • This can also cause Whirlwind to happen in less than ideal areas, dealing damage to players as they move away.
• Tanks will need significant healing when Sartura Enrages.

Debuffs to Track

• There are not particular debuffs to track.
