​

Positioning

There are links below to each faction's arena map, showing the boss spawn location and your optimal AFK positioning:

⬥ General Graardor

⬥ Kree'arra

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Note: due to Kree's special attack, the player will move frequently. As such, there is little benefit in a starting position.

⬥ K'ril Tsutsaroth

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Other player position is for necromancy specifically.

⬥ Commander Zilyana

⬥ The method is very similar for all four GWD1 bosses, with slight exceptions as listed above for Kree'arra and K'ril Tsutsaroth.

⬥ Gear can be downgraded but you should expect more manual intervention and a lower KPH.
