General information
Abilities
- No Crushing Blows.
The fight consists of 3 phases. Halazzi is a single creature until taken to 75%, 50% and 25%, at which point he splits into his Troll Spirit and a Spirit of the Lynx. Take either spirit to 20% to reunite them into the single creature.
Phase 1 - Single Creature, no totems
- Frenzy — Increases Attack Speed. Can be Tranquilized.
- Saber Lash — Deals 12,000-18,000 damage split between two targets, reduced by armor.
Phase 2 - Two Spirits, totems (75%, 50%, and 25% health)
- The single creature Halazzi deals 4K damage to the entire raid and splits into a troll spirit and Spirit of the Lynx.
- Phase 2 ends when either spirit reaches 20% health.
- Corrupted Lightning Totem — 5000 Nature damage, chains to nearby targets. Is cast frequently.
[Flame Shock] — 5000 Fire base with a 4K tick. Dispellable.
[Earth Shock] — 4000 to 5000 Nature damage, interrupts any school being cast for 3 seconds.
Phase 3 - Single Creature, totems (<25% health)
- Enrage — Increased melee damage.
- Totems, as in Phase 2.
Strategy
This is a heavy healing encounter, so bring consumables or a Shadow Priest. Your tanks should have at least 18k health each fully buffed, and must be kept fully healed at all times. Bring three healers, assigning one healer to each tank, and having the third healer split between two. Having a Resto Druid as your third healer is helpful, because he can stack full stacks of Lifebloom on both tanks.
Phase 1
Have your two tanks stack up on each other for Phase 1. They must be in front of the boss to split the Saber Lash. Make sure to keep heals on both of them as they split the Saber Lash. Also, be sure to have your Hunter tranq shot Halazzi when he frenzies.
Saber Lash
Saber Lash is a cleave that can hit up to two targets, splitting the total damage evenly between them. Two tanks must both be in front of the boss in order to properly split the damage. The threat produced by the OT is irrelevant. This ability occurs randomly about every 5 to 15 seconds, but often occurs very frequently. This is similar to an ability possessed by Mother Shahraz.
In the event that one of the tanks parries, dodges, or blocks, the other tank still only takes half the Saber Lash if positioning is correct. The tank that parried or dodged completely avoids the damage that they would have taken otherwise. High dodge/parry on the OT is an advantage.
Phase 2
Phase 2 starts when the merged form of Halazzi is brought down to roughly 75%, 50% and 25%. Every time during the transition he will do a 4k AE to everyone and will stop saberlashing.
Keep the MT on Halazzi, and have the other tank pick up the Spirit Lynx. During this phase have all DPS on either the boss or the lynx. You should decide this before the fight so there will be no confusion, the lynx has about 10% less health, but the tank won't have maximum threat on it so you'll need to wait longer before nuking it. Halazzi on the otherhand only needs to be brought to 20% health to end the phase, unlike the Spirit of the Lynx that must be brought to 0%.
Halazzi will drop Corrupted Lightning Totem during this phase. Make sure to have someone call out when they see a Corrupted Lightning Totem planted, and have ALL of your DPS switch to it as soon as possible. When it is destroyed, resume DPS on your determined target. Be sure to dispel magic from any who get the Flame Shock debuff.
The boss will switch back to Phase 1 when the Spirit Lynx reaches 0% or troll reach 20% health.
Phase 3
Phase 3 starts at 25% when Halazzi is back in his merged form. This phase is similar to Phase 1, except that Halazzi will enrage and do additional damage to the MT, and he will also continue to drop Corrupted Lightning Totems that must be dealt with by the raid.
Additional Tips
- Having a Druid in Bear form tank Halazzi in Phase 1 is helpful since Druids have a fairly high Armor to mitigate a lot of damage. Halazzi cannot land crushing blows.
- Halazzi is tauntable, as is the Spirit Lynx. Be careful not to have taunt on cooldown when the spirit is about to appear.
- A Hunter can use tranq shot to stop the frenzy and reduce damage on the tank, but Halazzi does enrage more frequently than the cooldown.
- If not grabbed quickly, the Spirit Lynx will two-shot one of your healers.
- Have your DPS create a macro to "/target corrupted" to take down the totems as quickly as possible.
