| + | The '''Silvermoon Messenger''' is a level 85 courier sent by [[Lor'themar Theron]] to the [[Ghostlands]]. The messenger conveys the Regent Lord's annoyance at [[Vereesa Windrunner]] having travelled to [[Quel'Thalas]], and learns that ranger-general [[Halduron Brightwing]] had personally requested her presence. The messenger notes that Halduron had no right to go against Lor'themar's orders in this sense, though Halduron asserts his authority over such matters as ranger-general. |
||
| − | The '''Conclave of Wind''' is a boss encounter in [[Throne of the Four Winds]]. The encounter consists of [[Anshal]], [[Rohash]], and [[Nezir]], the djinni lords of wind and must be eliminated in order to battle the elemental lord himself. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | Although they are spread out, engaging one djinn in combat engages them all. While they will not leave their platforms, each of the individual lords will put a significant debuff (such as reducing [[Haste]] by 500% with increasing frost damage over time) on all players if at any point there is no attackable target on their platform. |

| ⚫ | |||
| − | Bosses enrage after 8 minutes in 25-man normal mode. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Overview== |
||
| − | Each of the Djinn has an [[energy]] bar that slowly approaches 90. When it reaches 90 they will cast their most powerful abilities. All three gain energy at the same rate, and all three will reach 90 at the same time. Players cannot jump between platforms while they are at full strength. |
||
| − | |||
| − | If any Djinn is left alone on his platform, with no player in range, it will cast a raid-wiping ability. Anshal will cast Withering Winds, which reduces all healing by 100%. Nezir will cast Chilling Winds, which will reduce haste by 500%. Rohash will cast Deafening Winds, which will silence everyone in the zone. All three of these abilities include a zone-wide AoE damage tick that increases over time. |
||
| − | |||
| − | You can move between their platforms by jumping into a wind bridge that connects the platforms. However, the bridges disappear when the Djinn are at 90 energy and using their special abilities. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Both Anshal and Nezir do normal melee damage, while Rohash does not require a tank. |
||
| − | |||
| − | When one Djinn dies, it begins to cast Gather Strength, which will resurrect it to full health after one minute. Thus, all three Djinn need to be killed within one minute of each other. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Strategy== |
||
| − | |||
| − | There are two alternating phases - the recharge phase, when boss energy is below 90, and the full energy phase, when the bosses are using their ultimate abilities - Zephyr, Sleet Storm and Hurricane. During the recharge phase, the raid is divided between Rohash and Anshal, with DPS bringing them down evenly. During the full energy phase, most of the raid is on Nezir, with DPS bringing him down as much as possible. The general goal is to kill Rohash and Anshal at as close to the same time as possible, while having done enough damage to Nezir during full energy phases to burn him down within the one minute resurrection timer. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The fight itself does not start until someone actually attacks one of the bosses. Thus, you can hop around all the platforms and set up without fear of an early and unwanted aggro. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Recharge Phase=== |
||
| − | During the recharge phase, DPS is split between Rohash and Anshal, while Nezir is handled by just a tank and his healers. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Rohash group requires fewer DPS and healers, and generally favors ranged DPS due to the Tornadoes that are summoned. No tank is needed since it has no hard-hitting melee attack. Instead, he casts randomly at anyone on the platform. This group needs to watch for Tornadoes and Wind Blast, which can knock you off the platform. The Wind Blast mechanic is similar to the Spout spell from [[The Lurker Below]] encounter in [[Serpentshrine Cavern]]. He will start at a random direction and move clockwise for 10 seconds, blasting anyone in his line of sight. Everyone on the platform needs to move clockwise to avoid the blast or be knocked off and most likely killed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Anshal group requires a tank and slightly more healing compared to the Rohash group. This group also needs extra DPS, due to adds and Anshal's healing ability. When Anshal summons Ravenous Creepers, the DPS need to split these up and burn them down quickly before the Toxic Spores stack too high on everyone. An extra tank or high armor DPS can help to separate them. Avoid the Soothing Winds healing circle on the ground, as it heals the boss and Creepers, and pacifies any player in it. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Nezir group requires only a tank and healing. During the recharing phase, no DPS is with Nezir. The tank needs to face the boss away from anyone else to avoid excess damage from Permafrost. The healers will need to move out of any Ice Patches that appear, and take care not to stand on the pathways coming in to the platform. During the full energy phase, players from the other platforms will move to Nezir's platform, and they don't want to land in a patch of ice. Wind Chill will stack on the Nezir group and damage will increase throughout the phase. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The tank and tank healers for Anshal and Nezir will swap positions every other recharging phase to deal with the stacking Wind Chill debuff. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Full Energy Phase=== |
||
| − | At around 80 energy, most of the raid will swap to the Nezir platform to handle his Sleet Storm. The bridges to move between platforms disappear at 90 energy, so players should allow enough time to make it over to their new platforms. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The entire Rohash group, except for a single healer, will move to the Nezir platform. The single healer left behind at Rohash needs to handle the Hurricane, which works much like the Vortex ability in the [[Malygos]] encouter. This healer should be able to heal himself through the Hurricane with instant abilities, and survive the moderate fall damage at the end. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The entire Anshal group, including the tank and his healers, will move to the Nezir platform. The DPS should be sure they've finished off any remaining Creepers before transferring, or they will be healed during Zephyr. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The tank and tank healers at Nezir will move to Anshal's platform to tank him through Zephyr. |
||
| − | |||
| − | During the Sleet Storm, burn down Nezir as much as possible. The raid will be taking constant damage from Sleet Storm during this phase. As long as enough people are still alive and the damage is split sufficiently, the raid healing should be manageable. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Once Sleet Storm is finished channeling, DPS move back to their previous platforms, Anshal or Rohash, and continue to bring them down evenly. The tank and tank healers for Nezir and Anshal remain at their swapped positions. This is to allow enough time for the stacking Wind Chill debuff to fade from the tank group that just handled Nezir. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Nezir Burn Phase=== |
||
| − | Anshal and Rohash should die at as close to the same time as possible. Once one dies, the one minute resurrection timer begins, and you need to be able to finish off Nezir before they resurrect. If one is almost dead while the other is behind, call to stop DPS and let them catch up. If one is consistently far behind by the time they are almost dead, then re-balance your DPS groups for the next attempt. It's also possible to re-balance DPS mid-fight after full energy phases when everyone is at Nezir's platform. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Once Anshal and Rohash are dead, everyone moves to Nezir's platform to finish him off. By this time, he should be well below 50% health from previous Sleet Storm phases. Save Heroism/Bloodlust abilities and big DPS cooldowns for this final burn phase. You need to kill him before Anshal or Rohash resurrect, and also before the Wind Chill debuff stacks too high for your raid healers to manage. |
||
| − | |||
| − | If the burn phase is not working out, consider intentionally delaying the death of Anshal and Rohash to add an extra full energy phase to bring down Nezir a bit lower. Note that this approach will bump you closer to the enrage timer. Alternatively, consider staying on Nezir for a few more seconds after a Sleet Storm, before moving back to Anshal and Rohash, to bring him down a bit more. However, staying on Nezir means increased raid damage from Wind Chill, possibly falling behind on adds summoned by Anshal, and increased damage to the lone healer still at Rohash. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The key to this fight will be finding the right balance of DPS for each group assignment, and making the final burn phase doable. |

| Level | 85 |
| Affiliation(s) | Silvermoon City |
| Location | Ghostlands |
The Silvermoon Messenger is a level 85 courier sent by Lor'themar Theron to the Ghostlands. The messenger conveys the Regent Lord's annoyance at Vereesa Windrunner having travelled to Quel'Thalas, and learns that ranger-general Halduron Brightwing had personally requested her presence. The messenger notes that Halduron had no right to go against Lor'themar's orders in this sense, though Halduron asserts his authority over such matters as ranger-general.
Zul Aman
Silvermoon Messenger says: I bring word from the Regent Lord of Silvermoon.
Silvermoon Messenger says: Lord Lor'themar demands an explanation for the presence of this... exile in our lands.
Vereesa Windrunner says: Quel'Thalas is as much my home as it is yours and I would not see it fall to our ancient enemy. Now, you tell your cowardly regent --
Halduron Brightwing says: Vereesa, please!
Halduron Brightwing says: She is here at my invitation, courier. Most of my Farstriders are away and cannot be recalled easily. Vereesa's rangers know the land and are experienced combatants.
Silvermoon Messenger says: Lord Lor'themar does not concur with your reasoning, ranger-general. You have no authority to invite this --
Halduron Brightwing says: I am the commander of Silvermoon's defenses and I will seek assistance as I deem necessary!
Halduron Brightwing says: Now, Chieftain Vol'jin, before we were so rudely interrupted, you were telling us of the Zandalari's plans.
Vol'jin says: Dat I was. Da Zandalari called a meeting 'o all da troll tribes includin' da Darkspears.
Vol'jin says: King Rastakhan, he be plannin' to unite da troll tribes under his Zandalari.
Vereesa Windrunner says: Including the Amani?
Vol'jin says: Da Amani, da Gurubashi, all 'o dem. He be dispatchin' emissaries to every tribe.
Halduron Bringwing says: My scouts have reported nothing but quiet outside Zul'Aman.
Vol'jin says: Dey be holed up inside da ruined city, regroupin'.
Vol'jin says: Rastakhan be callin' me his brother, but da Horde be our true brothers. We gotta stop him before he can sweet-talk the others into joinin' his empire.
Vereesa Windrunner says: So how are we going to deal with this alliance between the Amani and the Zandalari?
Halduron Brightwing says: We must prevent it from occurring in the first place.
Vol'jin says: Dat be da plan. My men be infiltratin' the city and learnin' what dey can about da new Zandalari warlord.
Vereesa Windrunner says: Halduron, we should combine our forces and make preperations to act on reports from the Darkspear scouts.
Halduron Brightwing says: Agreed. Messenger, you may carry word of our plans back to Lord Lor'themar, but make it clear that I will not tolerate any further interference.
