Completed this trick on normal and heroic. Give it a try. Comment by Killed today, my first time here in heroic mod, and easy to kill boss..
Me prot warrior in dps gear tank druid and pala healer. Makes really happy :. Comment by smeden Ive done this boss 2man party. Rogue and Druid Not to hard to get pass first boss. Rogue gets aggro and let me pass feral druid then he just use vanish. The 5 runs we made took about 45mins and he dropped 10 blue items, 1 primal nether, and Ace of something and 2 green items in total for us those runs.
If your a rogue or druid find a a new friend with enchanting : and start farming. Unless it's some kind of mistake in the site. Comment by Keepertje8 Duo'd it as a prot warrior with AR with a holy paladin Blizzard should fix that. Comment by From what he says in game It seems like he likes trinkets. This way, when he casts his AE, you can hide on opposite corners of the doorway rather than trying to get around a pillar.
Comment by Keepertje8 This is one of the encounters, like the 2nd boss in Magister's Terrace, the section before the 1st boss in Mechanar and the trash to Aran, in which Arcane Resistance removes all the difficulties of the fight, as a tank.
I have over Arcane resistance, and can easily duo this with a healer who's a little bit skilled. Power, great power! Power in trinkets! Copy the code into WoW chat to hear the soundfile. I like this boss, he is fun and challenging, and his audio is some of the best in WoW.
There was a 'rumor' going around that using trinkets on this boss would somehow enrage him, this is however complete bull. Comment by Kallnohae Just a little heads up to healers- After an explosion, your HoTs and everything will probably get you aggro very quickly.
And sometimes you'll be forced to pick up more aggro than you can dump via your skills. So in backup, I always have a nice little trinket for when I know I'm going to be getting aggro. There're a number, but here are some easy-to-get ones. Hypnotist's Watch comes from a Hellfire Peninsula quest. Timelapse Shard is sold by the Keepers of Time faction vendor for those who are exalted.
I never go anywhere without one of them. Thanks Nummytaterz. Comment by Louhiorotta can Cloak of shadows resist it? Comment by Nummytaterz No longer drops the key Btw it is in the chest in his room make sure to grab it!
Comment by airtonix Heroic Mode His room, which gives people the false impression that spreading out is a good thing, makes this encounter harder. There is less time to run behind pillars More running around required of the tank which equals more time the others have to endure being hit on while tank aggros again The door way to his room however is better. You must either run out of range 30 yards or behind a pillar.
Comment by airtonix No longer drops the key Btw it is in the chest in his room make sure to grab it! Comment by morik Strategy: I have used this about four or five times now as a prot paladin. Have everyone stack on you by pillar, dont try to tank him in middle or anything. When he blinks move to get out of los from the arcane explosion.
When he blinks and comes back everyone is stacked so it isnt an issue of los to get aggro back. Just have Consecration down and hit your Righteous Defense. Rinse and repeat. Comment by He should polymorph a random party member in Normal, i dont know if he does it in heroic..
But suddently he teleports and starts to cast an aoe then you should run behind a pillar fast otherwise he'll do lotsa damage on you. And also the key Shadow Labyrint key is in a chest behind him. Comment by sgtsolidus Personally, I've never had troubles with this boss as a bm hunter. Always have a good tank and a fast acting healer who can get off heals quick enough to take care of anyone who is too slow.
Might have done so before the patch, but not any more. Also, the range of his AoE seems to reach almost across the entire room. Comment by Thottbot Tuesday's patch has made his casts uninterruptable now. Kick, Shield Bash, etc. You have to run out of line of sight to avoid the aoe.
Have your tank tank him in a position where you simply need to step behind a pillar to get out of sight. Comment by Thottbot Curse of Tongues no longer works, he is immune. So no more longer cast times He cannot be interrupted, nor stunned, and many warlock curses don't work. Stay close together so his blink doesn't move him far, then hide behind a pillar when he starts casting the blast--five seconds should get you out of LoS.
Bring some heavy healing, heavy DPS, magic-removal anti-sheep , and if you've got it, an arcane mage--Slow still works, I've heard.
We didn't have enough DPS, wiped five times. Comment by Thottbot Ran it last night just for the shards. I already had the pants so really just there for that.
Bring a 70 mage with you who has spell steal. Once i took it, i noticed that it was a Mana Shield. It had 53 secs left on it once i got it, and works exactly like the mage mana shield, meaning it drains mana instead of health and last for 60secs. I used detect magic on him early on in the fight, and it doesn't detect anything, and there is nothing to steal, but once he uses his shield, it can be stolen. Also the incanter's droped along with the Priest legs, since i already had the incanter's i just greeded, but won them again.
Zarthus 70 Mage Gnomeregan. Comment by Thottbot Okay I have a great story I am a 70 paladin and I ran a party with a 69 dps warrior, 2 70 mages, and a 70 tank warrior I was the main healer That AoE is killer if you can't get out of LoS. It looks like we have no chance I just conserve my mana, use my cooldowns, lay on hands etc.
After a while he gets really low and I am amazed that we aren't dead yet. I use my mana potion and just try to take him I thought it was awesome. Comment by Thottbot Okay so I thought this fight was gonna be harder than it was.
Casters DPS'ed behind the left pillar. Nobody got hit by his AOE, and other than that.. Thanks guys! I'd definitely suggest not using more than one melee DPS, because you really need the different CC's for pretty much the entire instance.
Comment by Thottbot We did this 4 times last night with 3 ppl. He has stealth detection so the rogue had to aggro him while the druids sprinted in stealth threw the room.
Once we were across, the rogue vanished. Then it's just stealth all the way to the boss. Tanked him at the back of the room to not aggro the guards. Then just run like hell behind a pilar when he starts his arcane blast. Took us a total of 15 min to get in, kill him and get out to reset. Comment by Thottbot I've beaten him several times with several different group set-up's.
I found the easiest way to do this boss is to bring two priests Shadow and Holy , if you have that luxury. Make sure to keep everyone not doing melee behind the same pillar so when he blinks and uses the arcane blast he doesnt run all over the place. Makes things a lot less chaotic. Admittedly, the first couple times I faced this boss my party wiped.
But using the above strategy, I do multiple runs per day now. Need something for us warriors in there ;. Comment by Thottbot After figuring out how to kill him it was easy. At one point I was only one left I was MT and I kept backing out of the room, when I pulled him through the hallway, he broke combat when I had 45 hp left. Comment by Thottbot Not bad on heroic with fire mage, frost mage, balance druid, feral druid, resto shaman.
He sheeps the closest target to him that isnt the tank, so we just had the balance druid stay in elf form and just shift out of polymorph, worked really well in negating that effect. And yes run away from the aoes, havent tried spell steal on his shield yet but it didnt last long enough to be too bad. Epic bracers dropped. Worst part about him is the arcane missle aoe by far, took lots of chain heals and whatnot to keep us up.
Comment by Thottbot ok now I see on the map on wowkiki that theres a path to the last boss directly. Is it confirmed that it is a straight through path? The shortcut would help. Comment by Thottbot 15th run tonight. Still no Axe. Iv been going there since I was a wee little 67 warrior, im now Iv seen every single drop!
Even the shoulders of assasination twice! But still no damn Axe. I swear blizz make it so the drops arn't right for the classes who run him! For you tanking warriors, spell reflect doesnt reflect is aoe OR his arcane missile just after unfortunately.
As soon as the missile hits you switch to zerker stance, use intercept this is if you arnt prot ofc charge him, he wont be stunnned but it gets you there alot faster than running.
He really isn't that difficult if your group knows what to do! Mozis Hellscream 70 Warrior. Comment by Thottbot Also, is there a direct route to this guy? Would be so useful if there was! Comment by Thottbot Trick is to get out of his "line of sight" when he's casting aracne explsion, just run behind the other side of a pillar in the boss room and you should be fine. Although we had the worst tank and healer ever, We had lots of DPS and were able to take him down by avooiding his exlposion. A bit strange cause thott tells you that the axe drops off him.
But hey a little excitement where it wasn't expected. Comment by Thottbot If you're having problems with this fight, this might help. What I then noticed was I resisted every single Polymorph he threw at me, almost 10 in all.
As a result, the fight went much smoother than previous attempts because the only healer in the group wasn't taking much damage and wasn't out of commission at any time due to sheepage. I've been in fights where the tank was sheeped and things got messy, so when my prot warrior gets his Heroic key, I'll be heading in there with plenty of Arcane resist tanking gear to see how I do.
Comment by Thottbot I just finished building my arcane resist gear, so now I've got resist when I want and about hp as a lock. Comment by Thottbot The solution to this fight is to engage him right next to one of the columns. Although he'll blink to different players and the healers must concentrate on staying in LOS of everyone, this strategy allows everyone to get around the back of the column before his AoE casts.
We fought him next to the left column as you enter the room, with our 69 fure spec warrior in front of the column toward the center of the room and supporting cast to the side. With about half the screen space taken up with the column, but still able to hit him with my spells, it was very easy to run from the AoE. We also had the shoulderpads of assassination drop, but no rogue in the group. Alas for the alliance. Comment by Thottbot Did full run on Sethekk for the first time yesterday.
Group was great, mage, lock, rogue me , priest and warrior, all 70, and as expected all instance was a breeze. Ikiss is exactly as mentioned above in other posts: hits hard with non-interruptable arcane explosion, during which you just have to hide on opposite side of pillar. You got about secs from warning to explosion, that's more than enough if you're concentrated.
Apart from that he's not much. Too bad wasn't my lucky day and he didn't drop Shoulderpads of Assassination ; just Oblivion for the joy of the clothies! Comment by Thottbot I played the paladin tank in a group that attempted to down Ikiss today. Is Ikiss untauntable by paladins?
Comment by Thottbot I believe we've found the perfect Heroic Seth group. We usually only wipe once during the instance, if at all. You could exchange the tank or healer for another class, but you need the priest for Shackle Undead, you need the Mage for Polymorph, and you need the Warlock for Fear and Howl of Terror first boss ; not to mention that healthstones and soulstones make the healer's life much much better.
Comment by Thottbot After a few wipes we managed to down the boss, dropped the rogue shoulders and mage legs, being a mage I got happy, end of the story. He is immune to Taunt, spell interruption The key for us is to establish who is on second aggro list cause whoever is on second aggro list gets the polymorph.
On initial pull the rouge went in with tank to establish second aggro. Then ranged dps went all out. It keeps polymorph on the rouge After Exposion All ranged dps stops until tank gets aggro and rouge establishes second aggro. So the key for us was Clothies must stop DPS after explosion and let the tank and designated polymorph guy get aggro cause he is not tauntable.
Or else clothies will die. They must stop dps after explosion. Hope this tip helps out. Comment by Thottbot Did this on heroic today: Prot warrior me Holy Priest Mage Hunter Elemental Shammy For some reason we found it impossible to keep the dps up he would simple wipe agro and run around until they were all dead, even avoiding all arcane explosions it was hard to heal through the Arcane Volly's he does.
Here is what we did, i stayed in through the explosion, popped shield wall 1st time, last stand 2nd time. My advice is to keep the healer and tank up and let the dps go crazy and die, then go slowly from there, he doesnt hit hard and is very easy healing only 1 person. If u can keep the dps up tho ur flying. Comment by Thottbot A lot has been changed about this boss on Heroic setting as of 2. He no longer sheeps the second on his TPS list - he sheeps everyone tank included.
Spamming spell reflect will give the tank an immunity to polymorph, so pallies probably wouldn't do well against this boss. He resets aggro after every arcane blast, so make sure it's your tank that hit's him first. Passive healers like resto druids will have a hard time with this boss as they tend to pull a massive amount of aggro after resets. Remember to bring your Arcane resist gear boys and girls! Sterlo - Aman'Thul Edit: I forgot to add that he casts "slow", so make sure your tanking close to a pillar.
Comment by Thottbot Clob is absolutely right. Did this yesterday with a solid PUG group on my prot pally, no problems up to final boss, then wiped twice trying to keep the dpsers up. We just kept at him, whittling him down. Every time he sheeped the priest I would self heal and let the priest regen health and mana, if I was sheeped the priest would cleanse.
When he died both the priest and I were near full health and mana, and lay on hands and shields were unused. His hits on plate are weak and arcane explosion highly avoidable. Tough fight to keep everyone alive on, but simple and easy once it was just two of us on him. Comment by Thottbot BTW this was in heroic, so that part is same as in regular. Easier with two than with a full group. Comment by Thottbot Ikiss is tricky on heroic. Although he's amazingly easy.
He tend to kill all your dps well atleast when the healer concentrates on keeping your tank and himself alive , but that does not mean he is unkillable after that. I've duoed Ikiss several times on heroic difficulty. He seems to stop blinking and exploding when there's only 2 alive. If those two happen to be the tank and healer, it's perfectly doable. Ikiss will chain-sheep the healer as a tank I have never been sheeped, he doesn't seem to sheep his aggro target which in return keeps the healer alive.
The healer will restore enough health to survive the bolts. In addition Ikiss does not hit hard enough, even in heroic, for a decent tank to die when the healer is sheeped. So even if your dps starts to die like flies around you, don't give up - it's perfectly duoable.
Comment by Thottbot OMG! This boss sucked! Whether regular or heroic, it sucked! Anywho, this is how we did it. It's quite funny actually Players all level 70, not all epic-geared out either, but with some nice blues and some epics After literally a dozen tries or more, tank pulled Ikiss into hallway between her starting point and the southern room.
Everyone stayed in hallway until Ikiss readied her arcane shot, then DPS and healer ran into southern room behind lip of door. Repeat as necessary, keep an eye on DOTs, self-heal as required. This was a total healer-tank v. Ikiss standoff. DPS do help but know that all is not lost if you have a "good" tank and healer. In the end we were all disappointed with the drops mail and leather items, and a ring maybe good for PVP. But if you have an enchanter you can roll for shards. Good luck! Im so OP!
Comment by Allakhazam I agree he seems a lot tougher now but it seems easier with certain group combos. We wiped numerous times and had a number of member and class changes we were down to 4 man group at the end with Pally Holy , Druid Feral , Mage Fire and Hunter Marks.
Both myself Mage and Hunter died and the pally and druid were able to tank him long enough for me to run all the way back and nuke him a few times before he died. Comment by Allakhazam stealthed to Ikiss.. Comment by Allakhazam He is immune to silencing shot. Comment by Allakhazam Farmed this guy with 2 rogues and 2 feral druids.
Killed him 9 times. Only dropped one set of shoulders on the 7th run. Ravenclaw band didn't drop once. I think Blizzard is toying with all the rogues and druids by jacking up the drop rate on all the cloth. Probably could have gotten him more, but we were getting tired at the end and making missteps stealthing into his room. Back to work at it again tomorrow. Comment by Allakhazam He polymorphs randomly throughout the fight.
The AoE is interruptable through spells and abilities that say "interrupts spell casting," but not by things that only silence like hunter's silence shot. The mana shield he puts up is purgable by shamans, and should be done a. If there is a shaman in the group, he is a cake-walk. Just save your earth shocks for the explosion don't waste 'em on polymorph, it only lasts like 5 seconds and purge the mana shield.
Comment by Allakhazam This boss is very very easy. First off You would still have to kill the boss in order to get the instance achievement. You can simply just nuke this boss and move onto the next one.
