Fire, Spinning Spike, Poison, Acid Monster Information
 * misc=* Tempest's Spine is often the first raid for new players. An experienced guide using voice chat is almost essential to a successful PUG raid party. If you are new to this raid, do be sure to speak up, and follow the leader's instruction.
 * The raid is filled with fire-damaging enemies. Resist fire damage spells/items are a must.
 * Several enemies will use poison.
 * Several enemies (anticipate to meet two beholders throughout the caves) can cast Destruction or other death spells. Deathblock items may help.
 * There is a very long dive in the quest. An underwater action item will be helpful.
 * Lair of Fire and Ice:
 * Some regard this part even harder than the final encounter. The Ice Flenser and the Fire Reaver at the ends of the two tunnels need to be slain almost simultaneously (within 30 seconds of each other).
 * A common strategy is everyone staying inside the main chamber, while someone goes pulls, or lures down the Ice Flenser first. Once the Flenser approaches, mages will drop Wall of Fire spells to kill the Flenser, then the party hurries down the other tunnel to kill the Fire Reaver.
 * On the final boss:
 * Clerics that cast Freedom of Movement, Resist Electricity, Resist Sonic, and Death Ward are very helpful.
 * Remove Featherfalling gear before the final encounter. This will have you fall down faster if you get blown away by Sor'jek, and improve your chance of landing back onto the summit or the high mountainside instead of drifting away from the mountain to strange corners of the map where retrieval is difficult.
 * Much like the final boss in Stormcleave Outpost, Sor'jek is a purple-named monster who is virtually impossible to fight or kill without solving the puzzle (which powers off his weather control ability) and using the runes you should have collected along the way. Runes control various of his abilities such as fast regeneration, physical immunity, and fire immunity. He can always be damaged by sonic damage and some weapon procs such as Pure Good.
 * (At least in Elite) Sor'jek Incanni will eventually perform a full health refill. Cut him down as quick as possible if you see he has regained his weather control ability.
 * Refer to videos on YouTube (spoilers) for useful guides on navigating throughout this quest.
