==Strategy==
 
−
Al'Akir is an encounter that starts slow and builds up in difficulty. Raids will need to coordinate Stormling deaths to roll Feedback on Al'Akir in Phase 2 before their healers are overwhelmed by acid rain.
 
−  
−
A successful strategy for the Relentless Storm phase is to split the raid into two groups and have one begin at the top and one at the bottom of the Eye of the storm. The groups spread out at the same altitude, moving slightly down/up for Lightning Cloud. The raid moves down 5 yards when lightning rod goes out as well (better to have the lightning rod stay still, lest the raid be trapped by a lightning cloud on him).
 
−  
−
The final phase is extremely healing intensive, and Al'Akir must be killed before the raid runs out of room in the Eye of the Storm and has to double back through a lightning cloud which is usually death.
