Lei-Shen

Tyrant, Dictator, Conqueror, Emperor. The Thunder King’s numerous titles were earned by bringing absolute misery to the races of Pandaria. Resurrected into a world where his people no longer rule, Lei Shen is bent on ending the farce and bringing the land under his heel once more.

Lead Encounter Designer, Ion “Watcher” Hazzikostas:

The core concept for the Lei Shen fight developed during a brainstorming session as members of the encounter design team were throwing around ideas for potential fight mechanics, trying to see if anything would stick. A popular idea was for him to need to pause and recharge periodically, but someone suggested an interesting twist on that idea—the Thunder King isn’t just a battery that needs to recharge; he’s actually a power source himself. So instead of him drawing power from his citadel, the citadel draws power from him. He is a mighty warrior in his own right, with distinctive weapon and lightning attacks, but his mere presence energizes and activates portions of his citadel’s defenses, and managing those becomes a central element of the encounter. With a wide array of incredible visuals provided by our effects artists, and an awesome dungeon backdrop (those walls aren’t entirely decorative . . .), Lei Shen is an epic final encounter to wrap up an epic raid zone.

Thunder... thunder... thunder king! HO!

After it randomly came to me tonight, I finally realized where the inspiration for Lei Shen's character and backstory came from. He was the first emperor of the Mogu, and he's actually based off the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. Qin was also a bit of a tyrant, he conquered many lands, and was a full time dictator. He conquered all of the separated states of china and unified them under one banner. (Like Lei Shen did to all the races of Pandaria) Qin ordered his army of slaves to do anything and everything for him, and would constantly enslave more and more people to do his bidding. One massive work order he bestowed upon his slaves was actually to create a huge wall to block off barbarian invaders from china, and this wall would later become the Great Wall of China. Sound familiar? Lei Shen constructed the Serpents spine wall for the same purpose, except instead of keeping out barbarians, it was to keep out the Mantid. Finally, even though MANY people tried to assassinate Qin, they all failed due to the Emperor's strength and cunning, and in the end, Qin died a natural death of old age, once again, just like Lei Shen.

This is a really cool historical reference by blizzard and it makes me even more excited to face him in the upcoming weeks! :D

Lei Shen, otherwise known as The Thunder King, was the first Emperor of the Mogu. He unified the mogu races into one giant clan rather than many divided clans and through his will many of Pandaria's most notable works of ancient architecture were created, including the Serpent's Shine, Mogu'shan Palace and the two shrines either side of it in the Vale. He also lay the foundations for a dynasty of Mogu emperors, ruling an empire of slaves.

The mogu are a power-hungry race whose history is written in the blood of their enemies. In the past, warring clans and kingdoms fought for dominion over parcels of land, each looking to gain the upper hand against their neighbors. That all changed when Lei Shen leveraged his power and cunning to became the greatest of the mogu. Born during the Age of a Hundred Kings, Lei Shen was the son of a warlord and possessed a strength that commanded respect from the other mogu. He went on to do what many thought impossible; he united the mogu kings beneath him and declared himself emperor.

Once united, the mogu swept across Pandaria, conquering and subjugating all of the other races—until he encountered the mantid. The Lorewalkers were diligent in chronicling the history of Pandaria and have this text on record:

'It has been written that when the great Lei Shen first looked upon the lands of the mantid, he did not feel fear, but inspiration.

As he began to unify his people under a single banner and subjugate the other races of Pandaria, he knew that the mantid would never succumb to his authority. They spoke his language, the language of strength. He commanded his slaves to construct the Serpent's Spine, a magnificent wall that spanned the length of the empire.

It would take many generations to build. But Lei Shen knew how to motivate his subjects. Fear. Fear of the mantid moved mountains, raised armies, secured his empire, and built his wall.'

He is rumoured to have died of natural causes, as during his time, none could stand up to his might. He was taken to a mogu crypt deep within Kun Lai Summit, and entombed. It was and still is a great honor for mogu to be buried intact, as they otherwise treat the corpses of their dead as as parts and reagents for their spells and magic.

However, the departure of the mists has prompted the return and rise of the Zandalari trolls, who have brought The Thunder King back to life. It falls to the Alliance and Horde's strength to put him down, as the forces of Pandaria alone are regrettably not enough.

Pandaria, her hills of gold,
In dark and mournful times of old,
Did once a hopeless horror hold.
When from her sacred Vale did spring,
With storm and flash, a monstrous thing,
His name Lei Shen, the Thunder King.
His thunder boomed across the land,
And none who dared and fought could stand
Against the iron tyrant’s hand.
A palace grand, a walled domain,
Such mighty works born of his reign.
Built by slaves, their hearts in chains,
But seasons change and tyrants die,
His fury spent in times gone by,
The thunder slept beneath Kun-Lai.
By Zandalari hands he has been taken,
By Zandalari voice he has awakened.
Gather heroes, sound the drums,
The Thunder King comes...
The Thunder King comes.

But most importantly of all, he is voiced by the one-and-only Christopher Lee - though you might know him better as Sauron the White, from The Lord of the Rings films.

Strategy for handling conduit levels

It is generally a bad idea to deal with a fully charged conduit during the first intermission phase. In particular, Static Shock and Bouncing Bolts are especially terrible to deal with once they are level 3, since these two are also the worst abilities. However, in order to disable a conduit, it is necessary for it to have the highest charge.

The trick here is to charge the designated pillar to as close to 100 power as possible but without letting it reach level 2. Then, all the other pillars are to be charged to a power that is strictly lower than the designated pillar (staying at level 1, of course). This way, during intermission phase, all abilities are at level 2 (which is as low the mechanics allow) and the designated pillar will be disabled after the intermission.

This does imply that phase 1 is a somewhat of a DPS check since the raid would have at most ~3 mins before there are no more pillars to charge without ruining this strategy. Some extra time can be bought by having the raid eat some extra damage from Discharged Energy (during which Lei Shen is not charging anything), if needed.

How the conduit mechanic works

There are 4 conduits in each cardinal direction, each of which can grant a special ability to Lei Shen (exactly how this occurs will be mentioned later in this post):

(North) Elektroschock: AoE damage that is split among players.
(East) Diffusionskette: Chain lightning that spawns an add for each player that gets hit.
(South) Überladen: Causes a ring of energy to radiate from that player (max radius: about half the room). Players standing at the direct center are unaffected. In addition, it's sometimes possible to jump over the ring to avoid the effect.
(West) Sprungblitz: Several bolts are launched and land after a few secs (indicated by blue, swirling ground animations). If no players catch a bolt, an add will spawn and the bolt will bounce and land elsewhere (ad infinitum, until the bolt gets soaked by a player).

Each conduit has two properties (they are displayed in the boss frames):

level: either 1, 2 or 3
power: from 0 to 100

All conduits begin at level 1 and power 0. When Lei Shen is in close proximity to a conduit (the range is quite small), he will charge the conduit, increasing the power of the conduit at a rate of about 2.3 per sec. While charging, the power of this conduit is displayed in the alternate power bar. Once the power reaches the maximum (100), the conduit will gain a level and the power resets to zero. If the level is at its maximum (3), the power will remain at 0 and Lei Shen will stop charging the conduit and begin to release Entladene Energie until he is moved to another (uncharged) conduit.

In phases 1 and 2, Lei Shen will gain the ability of the conduit that he is currently charging. In the intermission phases, Lei Shen will gain the ability of all the conduits (except the one that gets disabled).

Both the power and level of a conduit will affect the damage of the corresponding ability. However, the level will also cause the ability to be more powerful in a different way:

Elektroschock: More players are afflicted with the debuff; 1 per level (e.g. at level 3 there will be 3 Static Charge debuffs going out).
Diffusionskette: The adds have more health and hit harder (not usually of concern).
Überladen: More rings will spawn; 10-player: 1 per level / 25-player: 2 (?) per level.
Sprungblitz: More bolts will spawn; 10-player: 3 per level / 25-player: 8 per level.

When the an intermission phase occurs, all conduits will automatically gain 1 level (assuming they are not already capped at 3), but their power remains unchanged. Once the intermission ends, every conduit will reset to level 1 and power 0, and the conduit with the highest effective level ( = level × 100 + power) will be disabled for the rest of the encounter.

Kommentar von UndercoverHobo

Hey, just thought I'd post as a thanks to Blizzard, though I should maybe do it on the forums... Oh well it's early, enough rambling.

I'm a role-player on WoW and after reading this and it bringing light to thoughts I've had before, I thought I would share them. A lot of people get upset that they don't get lore for their race with new patches, I've been upset with that at times too, but then I realized something. We may not get the lore we always want, but look at how much time, effort, and thought Blizzard puts into making new lore interesting and exciting, even connecting it with little history from our world's past, and they do this all for us, they eve taught me a bit today after reading these posts. Blizzard does so much to make this game a joyous experience in all aspects to all players, and I appreciate the work they have and continue to put in this game.
Thank you, Blizzard
(As always, my apologies for the wall of text.)

LFR Strategy:
This is the hard fight of this wing, but only because it has mechanics that need to be followed. Once the raid gets the hang of the mechanics, the fight is fairly straightforward (if high damage and long.)

Entire Raid:
This guy has a whole bunch of abilities, but with DBM and common sense they won't cause you much trouble. However, there are four mechanics in this fight that are particularly important to note. Once you get them down, you've got the fight done and it's just a matter of staying alive long enough to kill the boss.

1. Overcharged - If someone near you gets Overcharged, they will grow to twice their normal size and get a lightning pool around their feet. You have two options - A) Stack right on top of them and avoid the effect or B) Get as far away as possible (40 yards at least) and avoid the effect. If you are closer, you'll take large amounts of damage and get stunned.

2. Static Shock - The affected player gets a blue arrow over his or her head and an 8 yard circle around the feet. After 8 seconds they explode doing a bunch of damage, shared by everyone in the circle. Stack on people with blue arrows (and for goodness sake don't run away if you've got the arrow...)

3. Bouncing Bolt (Diffused Lightning adds) - The boss throws a bolt of lightning that bounces across the platform. Its landing site is denoted by a small, blue swirly circle. Someone has to stand in the circle and get hit by the lightning bolt when it bounces through. If this does not happen, an add spawns. During the intermission, dozens of adds can spawn in just a few seconds if people don't follow this mechanic. (Note: This is different from the large, whitish swirly circle from Thunderstruck.)

4. Diffusion Chain - A chain lightning type ability that causes an annoying add to spawn for every single person hit. Spread out to avoid the effect.

Tanks:
Tank the boss near a pillar. Each pillar provides the boss with a special power, and the level of the pillar can be seen by counting the rings of lightning it has. When the pillar reaches three levels (three rings of lightning) it becomes supercharged and more dangerous (though not deadly in LFR.) Move the boss from pillar to pillar to prevent any of them from charging completely. After the intermissions, pieces of the platform become electrified and should be avoided.

- We chose Bouncing Bolt to start with so that we could eliminate the adds after the first intermission, but your raid may prefer a different pillar.

During the first phase, swap after each Decapitate, and the tank who is focused for Decapitate should run away (the ability does less damage the farther you move, but you really don't have to go far on LFR.)

After the first phase the fight becomes a single tank fight. There is an intended tank swap later but it is unnecessary in LFR. It's much easier for the tanks to stick to boss or adds rather than trying to swap (there may or may not even be adds to deal with.)

Throughout the fight the adds should be gathered up so that they can be AoE'ed down, preferably on top of the boss.

DPS:
Kill adds whenever possible. When the boss casts Thunderstruck, get away from the large swirly mark on the ground. Follow the mechanics for the four abilities that I noted above. (Stack on Overcharged or Static Shock, stand in small blue puddles to prevent adds, and spread out for diffusion chain.) During intermission, spread out around the platform and continue following those mechanics.

Healers:
There is a lot of tank damage, particularly when the boss is being moved between pillars. Raid damage is also substantial, but it came in bursts that looked worse than they actually were. During intermission, try to spread out around the platform so that each quarter has someone healing. Be sure to follow the mechanics that I noted above (particularly during the intermission, when they will all happen in turn.) There is a pushback phase near the end of the fight. As long as you don't run against the pushback, you can cast while sliding backward.

tl;dr version:
There are four abilities that you have to pay attention to or the raid will wipe.
1. Overcharged - Stack on the giant person who is affected and it won't hurt you. If two people are overcharged near each other, pick one (you'll still get hit by the other, but won't die.)

2. Static shock - Stack on the person with the blue arrow to share damage.

3. Bouncing Bolt - Stand on the small, blue, swirly puddles to keep adds from spawning.

4. Diffusion chain - Spread out to avoid chain lightning/adds.

Tanks:
Tank the boss near a pillar until the progress bar gets close to full then move it to a different corner. Swap after Decapitate and run away if you were the Decapitate target. Pick up adds. After phase 1 it's pretty much a single tank fight in LFR, or boss tank/add tank anyway. Avoid the electrified quarter of the platform after phase 1 and 2.

DPS:
Follow the mechanics listed above. Adds > Boss. When Thunderstruck happens (large swirly lightning circle) get away. During intermission spread out on the platform but continue following the mechanics.

Healers:
Lots of damage all around, with high tank damage when moving between corners. Be sure to follow the mechanics listed above. Spread out during intermission so that the entire raid is getting healed.

Macroable version:

/instance Overcharged-Stack on player. Static Shock-Stack on blue arrow.
/instance Bouncing Bolt-Stand in blue puddles. Diffusion chain-Spread out.
/instance Tank by a pillar, don't let bar fill. Swap after Decapitate. Intermission = Scatter.

Conduit selection is really all about setting up the second intermission the way you want it, because the first intermission will always have all four active.

This boils down to two choices:
(1) Which conduit do you want disabled during the second intermission?
(2) Which conduit can you live with being leveled up during the second intermission?

To clarify the second question, unless your dps is extremely high, you're going to end up with one leveled-up conduit by the end of phase 2. You'll have something like 90, 90, 130.

My guild was successful by (1) disabling diffusion chain so there is no reason to avoid stacking and (2) leveling up overcharge. You can minimize the difficulty of multiple overcharge targets at the end of ph2 and in intermission2 by good stacking at the right times.

Kommentar von decembre

In LFR, it's possible to single tank Lei Shen through the first phase, and possibly through the second if DPS is heavy enough. Enthaupten can easily be shrugged off and the debuff falls off before he casts it again. Fusionsschnitt will stack, but if DPS is fast enough, it may be possible to push him to the second intermission before it becomes too much to heal through.

I found this out when our LFR's tank quit and I got frustrated with the DPS not knowing the mechanics. So with only four healers, we decided to pull to let DPS practice the fight and surprisingly almost got to the start of the second intermission.

Has anyone defeated the whole raid on heroic yet?

Kommentar von Tarcalion

Lei Shen is Mandarin Chinese, and the characters are 雷神 (pinyin same as the normal English name), which means "Thunder/Lightning God".

For other fun ones, I'm guessing Lei Shi is Thunder Stone 雷石, Ji-kun is tricky, but I'm guessing they were going for 鸡鶤, the 2nd character being a mythological large bird, like a roc, while the 1st character is chicken. Sha probably comes from 杀, to kill.

There are lots of names I can't even remember right now with some fun meanings. The development team probably had a good time with that.

Note -- the Romanization of some of the characters in game is very inconsistent, fluctuating between Wade-Giles (Pe-king) and Pinyin (Bei-jing). Also, some Chinese-looking names aren't actual Chinese phonemes (Qon, Quilen), at least not Mandarin.

Lol, strategy guides. Have the tank taunt and jump off platform. Lei Zhen will follow. Use loot-a-rang.

Kommentar von blupache

For some reason Lei Shen currently has Diminishing Returns on Taunt turned On.

The Electrical Shock from Overwhelming Power is applied at a rate of about 1 per second.

This means that in the final phase tanks need to either swap at 18 stacks, or they'll run the risk of Lei Shen becoming Immune to taunts.

It's doable with either approach, but it can cause confusion where a tank is spamming taunt trying to get the boss & just ends up extending Lei Shen's taunt immunity until the tank he's is killed.

Kommentar von MasterRaistlin

Found this elsewhere, but for us it was a critical piece of info that I don't see here yet:

The base damage of Elektroschock is 1,000,000 in 25 man (400K in 10). For each % of charge the pillar gets, the damage increases by another 10k (4K in 10). At 100% charge, the pillar would gain 1,000,000 of damage.

The pillar always gains one level (+100%) energy during the transition. Most people, depending on the order in which they take the boss to the pillars, will have between 50-90% charge on the pillar. The pillar is fully discharged at the end of the transition (hence why each pillar starts at 0% in the second phase).

Thus, during the transition, assuming 80 energy on the static shock pillar:

1,000,000 * (1 + level) + 10k * energy = 1,000,000 * 2 + 10k * 80 = 2.8m

To become more easily survivable, you need roughly 50 or less energy on that pillar then.

Kommentar von 1124068

A few tips for 25 man:

Every class can solo soak except Shamans, Holy/Disc Priests, Warriors, and DKs.

Druids can use Symb on a mage for IB (Resto), CoS (Balance) or a priest for Dispersion (Feral).

Use your second potion after you kill the first set of ball lightning. This will make P2 a lot smoother and let you save BL for P3.

When you split your groups try to spread out the people who can't soak so one group doesn't have to stack all the time.

You can do a bit of "pillar dancing". What this means is if you're running out of pillars to charge you can move the boss in and out of the pillar. This will make it gain energy much slower at the cost of a tad extra raid damage.

And also, don't push boss to 30% while Ball Lightning is up/going to be cast.

Good luck!

Right before he dies at the end of the fight he says:

I sought only to finish... The work of the Gods...

No idea what that refers to. I see no mention on here about all the lore found on Isle of Thunder relating to Mogu and Titans too.

They also talk about Lei Shen going up on a mountain before coming down with the power of Lightning.

I really like stuff like this and would hope that Blizzard would explore it further and answer the questions. But from past experience I'm not holding my breath.

While everyone here seems to be looking for a relationship with real word Chinese history (which I'm sure there is) there is a tie-in to the whole Titan's servants things that you saw in Northrend. Not sure if it's a well planned story and tie-in or a lack of imagination at Blizzard.

Kommentar von Lordplatypus

He claims to be the "Slayer of Kings and Gods". Interestingly enough, we, the player are also exactly the same, Slayers of Kings (Arthas) and Gods (C'thun, Yog'Saron). It shows that Lei Shen, while a powerful being, was only a big fish in a small pool compared to the rest of azeroth.

As of 6.2.3, 10H is doable as HFC-geared healer + DPS, as long as you keep him near an active conduit, can effectively AoE the adds, and have some kind of sprint to avoid being pushed off during intermission.

as of 7.0.3 Legion Prepatch, Lei Shen knocks players back by a considerable distance everytime he goes into the intermission phase. You'll most likely die if you face your back to the edges as a result.

Very hard to solo on 10man Heroic mode. Maybe impossible.

As a ilvl846 Ret pally there is too much damage going on, too many adds and you gotta watch not falling off during intermissions...so bummed as I was able to solo all the raid on heroic pretty easily (only Dark Animus was a big dps race)

:(

Soloed with a BM Hunter 856 on 10H
Just stay all the time in the center a do a lot of aoe to adds
Kill him in first try
(Try to put your back to a corner, more space to walk when he push).

Kommentar von nagi603

Solo'd on 25N with BM hunter, 110@844. It ~~can~~ will be difficult to target him, due to the sheer amount of adds, and I had to use all my active heals (artifact on kill command,exhiliration, aspect of turtle, draenei racial) and almost died on second attempt. (First attempt lasted 26 seconds, I got bumped into the chasm.) You might want to do it on 10 or bring at least a potion.

Kommentar von Hoplowe

Solo'd Heroic 10 as a BM Hunter with 844 ilvl. This fight is all about positioning and adds.

Zoom out the camera as far as it possibly can. Once you land in the arena, position yourself in the dead center, pick a pillar and make both your character and your camera angle face it. This pillar will be your focal point that will save you during Helm of Command. Do not move the camera angle, do not move yourself, do not face any direction other than the pillar. If you get moved by a mechanic or the angle changes with Lei Shen's movements, reclaim that spot as soon as possible.

Send your pet to attack Lei Shen, but avoid doing damage yourself. You'll be out of range for Mend Pet, so duck in closer every now and then, but just focus on avoiding stuff and killing adds. The goal is to stay in the middle and reduce any damage Lei Shen can do to you before his adds show up to hurt.

When he casts Helm of Command, which is a light blue beam that latches onto you and pushes you away, run forwards towards him - still facing the pillar you picked before. Do nothing but run forwards. You'll get close to the edge of the platform where the opposing pillar is, but because the corners with pillars are slightly longer than the other edges, you shouldn't go over it. If you get nervous, Aspect of the Cheetah negates the effect somewhat, but you won't have time to use it twice. The spell lasts eight seconds, and he used it three times against me before dying. It might take a few tries to get the hang of it, but once you do you're set for this mechanic.

The adds are more dangerous than Lei Shen once they get going. Feign Death, Misdirect, everything and anything you can do to make your pet take the brunt of it. Save your massive AOEs like Barrage and Stampede for when you start to get overwhelmed, because you will be. I popped both my (artifact boosted) Turtle as well as Exhilaration, as well as having to use the Shadow Hunter's Voodoo mask. Bring a big potion if you can. Appropriate bandages too.

It took me about four tries before I got the trick. Good luck.

Kommentar von Reddervish

it was suggested for hunters to use feign death to draw out the encounter. Feign death did not work (tried it twice, it did not remove agro for more than a second or two). So maybe there has been a patch to change the mechanics. I'm on a MM Hunter iLvl 848.My only AOE is multi-shot, and its not very effective in this encounter, I do miss hunter's glaives which were taken away and given to the demon hunters with 7. will update if I get this encounter to work.

Kommentar von Enina

Soloed on Heroic 25 as an 865~ Arms warrior at AP25ish. It wasn't necessarily hard, but the huge numbers of adds can clog up the screen, so if your PC sucks you might want to lower your graphics in case it could be an issue. However, you can use them to keep healing yourself.

Kommentar von Barleduq

10m Normal. BM Hunter, ilvl 815 ish, frequently fumble-fingered in trying to hit multi-shot in between everything else I'm trying to hit for this damned rotation. For my first time ever through the raid, I wasn't about to try it harder, and was mainly doing it to run it out after getting Horridon's Hide for the Legion skinning quest. My only real problem was finding Lei Shen to hit *him*, but apparently my pets didn't have a problem, cause his HP kept going down no matter what I did. Only got knocked back once; standing dead center had me with him inside the circle as he supercharged things, which made things easy. I had a harder time after getting knocked out before the second supercharge. Why*ever* would one want to prolong the encounter, is there an achievement?

Kommentar von rrrof711

This fight was fairly easy for a Vengeance DH with about iLVL 840 average and a lvl 30 artifact weapon. Lots of jumping around. I tried to keep him and the adds on the sections of the platform that were overloaded (I guess I got lucky and had him on a different section when he started the second overload because it didn't increase the charge of the first section and I took him out after the second overload). I did quite a bit of damage to the adds but mainly focused on the boss but when there were too many after the second overload I dropped a Sigil of Flame and double Infernal Strike to wipe them all out. I must say this was the longest dungeon I have ever soloed and I only got a couple transmog but I really needed to finish this skinning Hides of Legend quest.

Kommentar von Sarthorius

For people struggling with his Helm des Befehls in heroic modes (in Legion you should be doing all bosses in Heroic anyways, if you want to defeat Ra-Den next) the sprint from Bärentatar is more than enough, lots of adds spawning while the boss is untargetable, just hug the middle of the room, and keep facing the mid while killing the adds, keeping the speed buff from the food up.

Kommentar von hoboninja

So not sure if this is a new bug or not, but if you get knocked off the platform from helm of command you cannot use the teleporter pad to get back to the fight.

Fairly simple to solo in 25H as a ToS geared Elemental Shaman. I did this at ilvl 928 and I do not play Elemental as a main spec, so my gear optimization is pretty bad because I go after upgrades for their Resto stats, not for Elemental. For adds, use Totem des flüssigen Magmas, Sturmhüter, and Erdbeben on CD or when you start to see a lot of adds stacking up. Make Lei Shen your focus so you can find him in the middle of the adds. Pull with Flammenschock], hit him with Lavaeruption and a couple of Blitzschlag, reapply Flammenschock, then drop Feuerelementar, hit Bloodlust Kampfrausch, pop Aszendenz, and blast him with as many Lavaeruption as you can. Stay in the middle of the room and line yourself up with a diagonal so you have maximum room to work with, and use Geisterwolf and Rückenwind during a pushback. Keep Lei Shen as your target as much as possible (this is where the focus comes in handy) and just spam Kettenblitzschlag with him as the primary target. You can use your Erdelementar and Astralverschiebung if things start to get hairy, to buy yourself a few seconds of breathing room. It's not hard - I was expecting to take several tries before ultimately reducing the difficulty to 10H, but I killed him on 25H on the first try without ever seeing the fight before. If you have Al'Akirs Verbitterung it will probably make this even less stressful, but I didn't have them on when I pulled and still had a relatively easy fight.

In order to fight Lei Shen in Heroic mode, you must have defeated all previous bosses on Heroic. If the raid leader switched difficulties part way through, you will need to switch back to Normal mode to see Lei Shen on the platform.

Tip for warlocks:

After many, many tries, I figured out that Demonic Circle is a fantastic way to keep Lei Shen from pushing you over the edge. When you teleport to the platform, create a circle in the middle and fight from this spot. When you start to get shoved towards the edge, use the circle to teleport back to the center. Don't wait too long because you might go out of range (and then die). Go back to the middle again and create a second circle after the cool down ticks off. Rinse and repeat as necessary (took me two times).

Easy soloed in Heroic as a 120 prot paladin, just set your talents to have 2 charges of Divine Steed (Cavalier) and you're good to go.
When Lei Shen casts Helm des Befehls just counter it with your Divine Steed, it's more than enough to outrun the push towards the edge of the platform. He will cast Helm des Befehls twice during the fight, so you need the double charge just in case you burn him faster than the cooldown.

Kommentar von Marco238

I just managed to completely circumvent the knockback on Helm des Befehls by standing at the exact middle of the arena with Lei Shen. Not sure if i got lucky or not, will have to try to replicate!

After you've killed the boss, use the Teleportplattform in the middle of the room to exit.

Soloed as 109 Warlock with bad gear. Took me WAY too long to figure out I needed to click the displacement pad on the floor to propel myself onto the platform with Lei Shen.

Kommentar von MaxWilder

If you die and the displacement pad isn't clickable when you run back, use /reload to refresh your UI. It should become clickable again.

Kommentar von Kaerfemagsh

i got to his room solo but when i used the displacement pad the boss didnt appear in the room

IF YOU ARE NOT GETTING CUTESCENE AFTER LEI SHEN / CAN'T FIND RA-DEN:

When you enter the instance, the difficulty you select will remain until approximately Iron Qon. Either before or after Iron Qon, the difficulty AUTOMATICALLY changed from Heroic to Normal. You must change it back to Heroic & leave the instance, and re-enter, in order to face Lei Shen and Ra-Den.

First attempt: I went into ToT on one toon this morning, I set it to Heroic 25-man (solo as 120 of course) and entered. When I defeated Lei Shen, I received no cutscene and couldn't fight Ra-Den. I checked the difficulty and it was set to Normal. This pissed me off as I knew I set it to Heroic before entering.

Second attempt: I went in a second time on another 120 toon, made damn sure I was set to heroic 25-man. Right before I faced Lei Shen I checked difficulty and again it was set to Normal. So I changed it to Heroic, the prompt came up to "accept" being in an instance in progress, which I accepted of course. I continued to Lei Shen to find out that he wasn't there! Nothing. Just an empty platform.

Third attempt: Third alt... same situation, but I constantly checked the difficulty because I knew it changed at some point. It seemed to changed after defeating Iron Qon to Normal. so I immediately changed it back and continued to Lei Shen, who of course WASN'T THERE AGAIN.

Fourth attempt: Finally got it done... I did the same steps as above, but after defeating Iron Qon, I changed difficulty from normal to heroic and I left the raid completely (porting back with toy), and then ran back to instance and ran all the way back to where I was, and Lei Shen was there! After beating him the cutscene happened and I was able to fight Ra-Den.

SO!... If you want to complete the instance and beat Ra-Den: After defeating Iron Qon you have to leave the dungeon and change it difficulty back to heroic, and then go back in and finish Lei Shen and Ra-Den. That's the ONLY way I've been able to complete it.

For those soloing Lei Shen, shortly after engaging him he'll teleport to the center of the platform and summons a lot of adds which can't hurt you at max level but for the duration, you can't attack him either. Move as close to the center as you can, facing Lei Shen and one of the four pillars in the corners. Because when he casts Helm des Befehls it pushes you away, run towards him, keep facing the pillar while the spell casts. You'll get near the edge of the platform but the corners are slightly further away than the rest of the edges. No need for class abilities or speed food/potions.

Elektrische Leitungen

Solange sich Lei Shen in Reichweite einer elektrischen Leitung befindet, versorgt er sie mit Energie. Dadurch wird ihm eine weitere Fähigkeit verliehen, die von der jeweiligen elektrischen Leitung abhängt. Die Energiestufe der Leitungen erhöht sich, je länger Lei Shen sie auflädt, was den verursachten Schaden der von ihnen verliehenen Fähigkeit erhöht.
Wenn die Energie einer Leitung 100 erreicht, wird ihre Energiestufe um 1 erhöht und die Energie auf 0 zurückgesetzt.

Nördliche Leitung: Elektroschock – Lei Shen lädt das Ziel statisch auf, sodass es nach Ablauf von 8 sec einen Elektroschock erleidet. Der Schock verursacht 18402 Naturschaden, der unter allen Spielercharakteren innerhalb von 8 Metern aufgeteilt wird.
Mit steigender Energiestufe der Elektroschockleitung erhöht sich die Anzahl der Ziele, die Lei Shen mit 'Elektroschock' belegt.
Der Schaden von 'Elektroschock' erhöht sich mit zunehmender Energie und Stufe der nördlichen Leitung.
Östliche Leitung: Diffusionskette – Lei Shen elektrisiert einen Spielercharakter und verursacht 991 Naturschaden. Dieser Angriff springt auf Gegner in der Nähe über, der mit jedem weiteren Ziel seinen Schaden erhöht. Wenn ein Gegner von der Diffusionskette getroffen wird, erscheint an diesem Ort ein Diffusionsblitz.
Mit steigender Energiestufe der Diffusionskettenleitung werden auch die Diffusionsblitzelementare mächtiger.
Der Schaden der Diffusionskette erhöht sich mit zunehmender Energie und Stufe der östlichen Leitung.
- Diffusionsblitz – Diffusionsketten erzeugen für jedes von ihnen getroffene Ziel einen Diffusionsblitz. Die Angriffe des Diffusionsblitzes lösen einen Kettenblitz aus.
  [Heroisch] Der Diffusionsblitz fixiert sich auf den Spielercharakter, durch den er ausgelöst wurde.
Südliche Leitung: Überladung – Lei Shen überlädt ein angewähltes Ziel. Der Spielercharakter wird bewegungsunfähig und nach Ablauf von 6 sec ist die Überladung abgeschlossen, woraufhin ein Torus elektrischer Energie von ihm ausgeht, der sich schnell ausbreitet. Im Zentrum des Torus befindet sich eine sichere Zone. Die Welle verursacht 1734 Naturschaden und betäubt getroffene Gegner lang.
Mit steigender Energiestufe der Überladungsleitung erhöht sich die Anzahl der Ziele, die Lei Shen mit 'Überladung' belegt.
Der Schaden von 'Überladung' erhöht sich mit zunehmender Energie und Stufe der südlichen Leitung.
Westliche Leitung: Sprungblitz – Lei Shen beschwört Sprungblitze, die zufällige Orte am Boden anvisieren. Jeder Sprungblitz fügt Spielercharakteren im Umkreis von 6 Metern 35 Naturschaden zu. Wenn ein Sprungblitz keinen Spielercharakter trifft, ensteht eine ungezügelte Macht und der Sprungblitz springt weiter.
Mit steigender Energiestufe der Sprungblitzleitung erhöht sich die Anzahl der von Lei Shen beschworenen Sprungblitze.
Der Schaden von 'Sprungblitz' erhöht sich mit zunehmender Energie und Stufe der westlichen Leitung.
- Ungezügelte Macht – Jedes Mal, wenn Sprungblitze in den Boden einschlagen und nicht von Spielercharakteren absorbiert werden, wird eine ungezügelte Macht entfesselt.

Phase 1: Von Donner gerührt!

Lei Shen legt seine Axt "Donner" an, die er mit tödlicher Genauigkeit zu werfen weiß, was an ihren Landepunkten Blitze erzeugt. Außerdem lädt er alle Leitungen in seiner Nähe auf.

Entladene Energie – Wenn Lei Shen keine Leitung auflädt, entlädt er stattdessen Elektrizität, die allen Spielercharakteren alle 0.5 Sek. ansteigenden Naturschaden zufügt.

Unterbrechung: Leitungen überspannen!

Bei 65% Gesundheit wirkt Lei Shen 'Leitungen überspannen', wodurch er unverwundbar wird. Er aktiviert alle vier Leitungen gleichzeitig und erhöht ihre Energiestufe durch die Überspannung um 1. Lei Shen kann die Überspannung der Leitungen nur 45 Sek. lang aufrechterhalten.

Netzwerküberlastung – Nachdem der Effekt 'Leitungen überspannen' endet, ist die Leitung mit der höchsten Ladung überlastet und wird abgeschaltet. Eine überlastete Leitung verursacht innerhalb ihres Raumviertels alle 1 Sek. 11 Naturschaden.

Er kann 'Überwältigende Kraft' wirken und somit die gesamte elektrische Energie des Throns des Donners in sich aufnehmen. Dadurch werden alle noch arbeitenden Leitungen zerstört und können nicht mehr aktiviert werden.

Überwältigende Kraft – Lei Shen absorbiert die gesamte elektrische Energie des Throns des Donners und zerstört somit alle noch arbeitenden elektrischen Leitungen, die dadurch nicht mehr aktiviert werden können. Durch die überwältigende Kraft verursachen Lei Shens Nahkampfangriffe zusätzlich im Verlauf von 8 sec alle 1 Sek. 113 Naturschaden.
