Jousting / Combat Encounter
The first encounter in the Trials of the Champion is against three Grand Champions of the Argent Tournament and their minions. The exact champions you face is random each time chosen from the opposite factions champions, meaning if you are Alliance you will fight against Horde Grand Champions and vise Versa.
The encounter is two phased. The first part involves jousting with the Champions minions and then the Champions themselves. Jousting is a fairly simple thing to do in the Coliseum, simply grab a lance off of one of the racks around the room, equip it, and mount up on a supplied mount. From that point it functions the exact same way as it does for the Argent Tournament daily jousting quests. For anyone that has not done these quests, you really should go and practice them a few times before trying this fight on Heroic Mode.
Get Ready to Joust
Just in case you haven’t jousted before, here are a few basics. You have 4 abilities while mounted and in jousting combat. They are the thrust, shield breaker, charge, and defend.
Thrust – This is a melee attach that inflicts roughly 3000 damage.
Shield Breaker – This attack can hit from up to 30 yards away and does roughly 8,000 damage and removes a stack of their Defend buff.
Charge – Triggered from up to 25 yards away, you cause your mount to charge the enemy causing roughly 20,000 damage and removing a stack from their Defend buff. Can only be used every 6 seconds.
Defend – This is a stacking buff that you place on yourself. Each stack reduces damage taken by 30%. It has a 4 second cooldown and can stack up to 3 times.
Eadric the Pure
Eadric the Pure is one of the Grand Champions of the Argent Crusade and is essentially a Paladin with a few extra tricks up his sleeve. The most important extra abilities he has are a blinding light and a hammer throw ability.
Radiance – Occasionally Eadric will call out that players will be blinded and starts casting this ability. Any player looking at Eadric when he finishes his three second cast will suffer roughly 5,000 holy damage (8,000 in heroic mode) be dazed for approximately five seconds.
Hammer of Righteous – Eadric can hurl his hammer at a player causing a significant amount of holy damage, roughly 10,000 (14,000 in Heroic mode). As long as a player is not stunned when targeted they can grab the hammer and use it on Eadric to gain an achievement.
Overall the fight with Eadric is simple, just DPS him down, while turning away each time he uses Radiance. If players do that he is essentially quick loot, especially compared to the other bosses.
Argent Confessor Paletress
Argent Confessor Paletress is one of the two possible bosses for the second encounter in Trials of the Champion. She is also the more difficult one. Paletress is essentially a priest with most of the abilities that being one grants. In addition for Holy Smite, Renew, Holy fire and Holy Nova, she also has the special abilities to summon a shadow boss.
