The last of the 4 Animal bosses in ZA.

Comment by 98873

(Copied from Elitist Jerks)

This boss has a tiny amount of hp, roughly 600k. This is a 2 phase encounter that rotates (similar to Nightbane) every 25%.

Phase 1 -
He hits quite hard and also does a Mother Shahraz type of ability like Saber Lash that if it hits more than 1 person the damage received by each person is much less than if it were to hit only 1. Once you get him to 75 % he will go into phase 2.

Phase 2 -
During this phase he will transform back into his Shaman form and spawn a Spirit of the Lynx that has approx 200k hp. Also during this phase he will drop a nasty totem known as: Corrupted Lightning Totem that does chain lightning for approx 5k, maybe some nat res is not a bad idea, but not a necessity. The last ability of this phase is a Flame Shock that he will do randomly to 1 target.

Basically tank and spank in phase 1. When phase 2 occurs, 1 tank stays on the Shaman and the other tank takes the Spirit. You need to dps down the Spirit as fast as possible so you will not stay in phase 2, too long because of the nasty totems.

Kill the totems when they spawn (similar to Tidvalas during the Fathom Lord Karathress encounter in SSC), cleanse people if needed. Rinse and repeat till dead.

SaberLash's damage currently is more than posted here. Last night our tank was hit by it for 18k+ when the off tank wasn't in position. Even when they were both in position it hit for roughly 7500 on each target. (after mitigation)

Can anyone confirm if Saberlash is bugged? Our off tank says he was in position and the tank was still taking 100% of the damage from it sometimes rather than it splitting as desgined. I think our second group in ZA said the same thing.

Also, can anyone confirm my suspicion that Flame Shock also has an Earth Shock like ability to interrupt spell casting and lock out that school for 2 seconds? That seemed to be the case when we fought him, but I've read nowhere that it should have an interrupt mechanic.

Comment by 5027

Points of clarification--

1) Saber Lash is split between just two targets (logically the tank and the offtank). Since Halazzi does NOT do crushing blows, a feral druid is logically the best choice for main tank against this boss. They have the best chance of surviving a single-target Saber Lash do to their high health and armor if the OT doesn't get in position in time.

2) You do not kill the Spirit of the Lynx as at 10% Halazzi recalls it and continues fighting. You do want to burn it down as quickly as possible, however, when there aren't any totems up.

3) Halazzi has a 10-minute enrage timer. If he is very close to death, a raid can possibly still kill him if sufficiently spread out.

Comment by 23646

After killing him for the first time tonight I have this to suggest:

Don't kill the Spirit Of the Lynx, keep the DPS on Halazzi. This is the "test" of your DPS.

Since you'll be dealing with the Corrupted Lightning Totems as well as the Spirit of the Lynx with the boss, you have to keep Phase 2 as your "quick phase".

Burning Halazzi down to 20% will start up Phase 1 again.

During Phase 1 when there is only one target, the healing is a lot more intense, this should be the endurance portion of the battle. While this phase shouldn't last forever, you can give your DPS a bit more leeway

Have Mages and Shadow Priests Wand to regen Mana for Phase 2 as they will probably be on Totem and Cleanse Patrol.

During Phase 2 the healing "slows down" as you don't have to worry about Frenzy and Saberslash. If totems aren't dealt with quickly, they can take people out or at least give your healers a bit more work to do.

Have your DPS who have good burst damage be on Totem Duty. Have them create a simple target macro:

/target Corrupted

Or "/tar Corr" if they're lazy...

If you tank Halazzi right at the bottom of the "Green Square", you can have your healers spread out behind the tanks so they won't get hit by Chain Lighting too often.

We also found that by letting our ranged DPS stand at the far North end of the room (by the gong), and have them run behind a pillar and bandage, they could keep themselves up without having to be healed.

To sum up:

Phase 1 - Intense Healing on MT.

Phase 2 - Spread-Out Healing while focusing on MT.

Good luck.

Comment by 100098

HP:
Halazzi - 600k HP (150k per phase)

Shaman Form - 240k HP
Spirit of the Lynx - 200k HP
Corrupted Lightning Totem(s) - ~9k

Phase 1 Abilities
Abilities -
Saber Lash: Hits the Tank & 1 other person standing in front of Halazzi (5yd range), Aggro is not a factor for the offtank, just positioning. Saber Lash hits a 17k armor Prot Warrior for ~8.5k .
Frenzy - Greatly increases attack speed, Tranquilizing Shot-able.

Phase 2 Abilities
Corrupted Lightning Totem: Casts a Chain Lightning that does about 2k per person. (2 sec cast).
Flame Shock: 20-25yd Range, Random target, 4.5k Initial hit, 3k tick, Dispellable
Earth Shock: 20-25yd Range, Random target, 4.5k dmg, interrupts casting.
Flame Shock & Earth Shock do not share the same CD

Spirit of the Lynx - Bestial Wrath's periodically when within ~25 yds of Halazzi (Still doesn't do much damage).

Explanation
There are 3 phases. They are defined by Halazzi's HP %.
The first "Phase 1" ends when Halazzi gets to 75%.
The first "Phase 2" ends when either the: Spirit of the Lynx gets to 10% or Halazzi's Shaman form gets to 20%.
Then Halazzi will reappear with 75% HP and you repeat this till he reaches 25%, then he goes into phase 3.
Phase 3 is just like Phase 1 except Halazzi will continue to drop "Corrrupted Lightning Totem."

Phase 1:
Key: Keep both tanks alive. Make sure the tanks are DIRECTLY on top of eachother, not infront or behind or to the side.
(Tauren range is an issue with this, if the MT is tauren and OT isn't then the OT must move slightly infront of the MT)

2 Tanks take the Saber Lash (~8.5k dmg each, ~5sec cooldown). Considerable healing is required. Tranq shot Frenzy, if possible.

Phase 2:
Key: Kill "Corrupted Lightning Totem" quickly

DPS Macro
/target corrupted

1 Tank stays on Halazzi, the Offtank picks up "Spirit of the Lynx" (spawns right next to him).
DPS Order in this phase is: "Corrupted Lightning Totem" -> Halazzi
Once Halazzi is at 20% the 2 will combine and Phase 1 starts again.

Healing notes: The raid will take a decent amount of damage in phase 2 but neither of the tanks get hit too hard, Dispel Flame Shock, make sure everyone has enough HP to live through an earth shock or flame shock (4.5k). Outrange the earthshock/flameshock if you can.

Comment by 29689

I've read so many conflicting reports (even from the posts above) on who to burn down in phase 2. Some say Troll some say Lynx...does it really matter?
I've had good results burning down the Troll and keeping the Lynx offtanked...I'm told the Lynx has less health though which would mean less time in phase 2 less totems etc...

Is it really a matter of preference or is there an advantage to killing one over the other?

Comment by Phelia

The Frenzy can be removed with Tranquilizing Shot.

Comment by Nymrohd

We killed him quite smoothly by keeping all dps on the troll on both phases. And the troll seemed to go down far faster than the lynx did for us in phase 2. We were physical damage heavy (Rogue, Fury warrior, hunter) so maybe the troll has a lot less armor than the lynx? Otherwise it must be the troll with the smaller healthpool.
Also bringing a hunter really helped us down him, he sometimes did two saberlashes right on top of each other during frenzy, plus the misdirection helped a lot with sending the spirit of the lynx to the offtank and not running to chew on a squishy.

Comment by 16861

as you enter this bosses chamber you will find that there is a large urn in the corner on the right hand side when facing the boss, if you change the camera angle to look inside it you will find a bag which contains an additional loot reward, we have gotten 3 rings up to now so i guess its a different ring each time.

Comment by 100774

9 million health ......WOW!!!!! more then illidan.

Comment by 35454

The "Earth Shock" ability needs to be listed up there.

It catches many people by surprise. Hits for about 3,000 to 4,500 nature damage. Can easily kill people when it takes them by surprise

Comment by fluxie

i can only say it from our own fights, with a 18k armor warrior, and the offtank wassent close enough he got hit for 19679, very deadly (healed with my paladin)

as in split phase the choise should be on halazzi, tested it and he dies faster then the spirit cat

as for tanks amplify magic is a good ide, make it easier too keep em up, im a feral druid and survived an frenzy, when our hunter was dead, with the bonus to healing effects, and in the second phase tanks have enough health for shocks and totem, so they are not needed too remove amplify magic

Earth Shock is an ability he use, and it (from my experience) does not share cd with flame shock, had a mage get hit by flame shock, corrupt totem and earth shock all with in 1 second, took 11k dmg

Comment by 18690

Phase 3:

Remember in the last 25%, its not the same phase 1, he puts up totems and shocks the raid, dont slack off on heals and DPS. Burn him down fast or you'll wipe.

Comment by 76114

I went posting on the official forums regarding Saber Lash ignoring one of the tanks despite positioning and was told that the ability can bug against Tauren models. The proposed workaround was to use a shapeshifting ability like Savory Deviate Delight, which seemed to do the trick.

Also, it should be stated that Halazzi's Phase 1 lifebar is his "real" HP total. He has a separate lifebar for Phase 2 that starts at 100% each time the phase begins.

Comment by 88932

It's possible (at least for a druid tank) to solo tank both Halazzi and the Lynx spirit that spawns during phase two. Both targets are tauntable/can have bleeds (lacerate) applied to keep aggro on the Druid. I stacked Lacerates on both targets and mangled, and then pretty much Swiped continually, taking care to reapply bleeds and mangle or even taunt when necessary as one target was burned down, moving him into the next phase. We had a warrior tank and myself dual-tanking Halazzi to split the cleaves during our first couple of attempts (it took 4 tries to take him down at the end of the day), but eventually it was decided to experiment with a Druid tank with high dodge, hp and armor, and it turned out that it can actually allow the raid as a whole to focus more effectively. He dropped the leather healing chest which I received as part of my healing set :)

The strategies listed by others on this page are probably easier, but if you have solid focus heals and a strong Druid tank, you could consider this as an alternative. Our warrior slapped on his DPS gear instead and helped to take down totems, saving our healers a lot of grief during the more relaxed (as far as tanking is concerned) phase two of this fight.

Comment by 99997

I would like to make a few adjustments as of last night's intense wipeing has clarified some things.

In Normal Form (when the troll and lynx are combined, aka when you pick him up) the boss lists ~600k HP.
I can confirm that the saberlash is split among the 2 tanks (hits for 9k-10k damage on a 17k armor tank) even if one of the tanks miss/parry/dodges. If both tanks do it... well... it's quite nice.

The boss also does 2 normal hits (with Main Hand and Offhand) which hit for 3k-3.5k (MH) and 1.6k-2k (OH) on MT.

So the MT will not only get the saber lash but also the normal hits. In one second (if you are that unlucky) you can receive up to 15k damage. So high avoidance is a must (I as a pala tank lasted with 2 dedicated healers on me until he enraged in phase 3). I have ~21.5% dodge, 16.7% parry and 517 defense. I sometimes used a trinket to increase dodge by ~8%. It helped me a lot in tight spots.

In Phase 2, when the boss splits into Troll and Lynx, the Troll has ~245k HP (not 400k as listed above) and the Lynx has ~200k HP.

The difference is also that when the Troll reached 20% they merge (so you have to burn down ~200k hp) and when the Lynx reaches 10% they merge (so you have to burn ~180k).

The upside of focusing on the troll though is that the Corrupted totems always spawn near the troll and not the Lynx. So it's easier for DPS to switch from boss to Totem and back than from the Totem to the Lynx.

Comment by 120417

It was mentioned briefly in a post above, but it's worth repeating--you can outrange the corrupted lightning totems. If your group is having a hard time with the totems, try having Halazzi tanked near the entrance to his room with all ranged dps and healers in the back of the room by the gong. Then when he summons the lynx, have the offtank pick the lynx up and drag him the whole way back to the gong. From here, melee sticks to the lynx and range focuses on totems (dps the lynx when no totems are up). Then just have the off-tank take the lynx back to the main tank when he gets down near 30% hp so that the off-tank can absorb his half of the cleave (watch for totems at this point).

Doing this seems to make it so that only the tank on Halazzi is getting hit by the chain lightning, which is a heck of a lot easier to heal through than 4 people taking the damage.

Just stay at max dps/heal range during the lynx phase and your healers should have saved enough mana then to deal with healing through the totems from 25% to loot time.

*This may not be necessary and may be a waste of time for well-geared groups, but for those small, under-geared guilds out there--this should help significantly. This also answers the question as to who to dps: the lynx or Halazzi?

Comment by 120462

I came up with a great macro for mages in this fight.

/cast Frostbolt; Frostbolt

Simply make that macro and target halazzi and you will automatically attack the totem without switching targets.

All other casters can just change Frostbolt to whatever spell you plan on spamming.

Hope this helps!

Comment by Triden

As of 02/16/2008 he performs an instant cast spell named "Transfigure" when he switches from phase 1 to phase 2 that hits the raid for approximately 4250 nature damage (approximately 3750 on a prot warrior with the spell damage reduction talent). Confirmed that this does not occur when switching from phase 2 to phase 1. Rogues can Cloak of Shadows through it to avoid taking damage.

Comment by 87758

Saber Lash consist of 2 parts, every part doing around 6.5-7k damage on 30k armor. Every part CAN be dodged!
So Halazzi and hes spirit can be solo tanked by feral druid with 30k+ armor 55%+ dodge and around 20k HP buffed. Also I reccomend use same +dodge trinkets whe hes going frenzy if u don`t have a hunter in group.

Comment by 135653

i coudnt have not notice u put it at 8.900.000 hp
it has 600.000 hp and 3 split phases per 25% hp loss to 2 mobs 1 with 230.000 and 1 with 240.000 and when either split mob reach 20% halazzi will merge and return to his hp when he as split (450k 300k 150k) so in sub total if ur team focus on the 230.000 hp allways he has in total
600.000+230.000X3X0.8 = 1.152.000
isnt it abit presumptous to put a 10 man raid boss at an hp no raid boss including 25man has?

Comment by MMrrTT

If there's only one MT and he's got 17k armor, then he will receive ~8,5k damage or about 17k? In description of the ability it's written in does 12k damage - is it unmitigated, like base damage, which can be reduced by armor or smth? It's possible to block/dodge/parry Saber Lash?

Comment by 137604

6.6 mil. health??? thats like 6x the others

Comment by 136959

the key this fight is to have enough heals and Hunters got to do Tranq shot on him when he dose his frenzy and Dispell the Flame Shocks

Comment by 145840

He can be disarmed in both his forms. The key is to make your warrior time his disarm AFTER a Saber Lash. I personally have NEVER seen him do an saber lash while disarmed.

Seriously, Disarm HIGHLY cripples this boss, reduces dmg on MT, and thereby saves mana for the healers.

Comment by 134143

TOCKED CO.! EASIEST ZA BOSS EVA!

Two free badges and maybe some gear!

During this fight make sure the tanks stack up on each other to share the saber lash ability or you will die. When he summons the spirit of the lynx have the pally tank or MT pick it up as it is harder to tank than the boss... I have noticed he loves to resist taunt so have a hunter MD if needed. Just dps halazzi the whole fight the despawns the spirit of the lynx...

VERY IMPORTANT!!! HE SUMMONS A CHAIN LIGHTENING TOTEM ALL DPS ESPECCIALLY MELEE DPS MUST SWITCH DPS ONTO IT AND KILL IT! IT HAS 9K HEALTH WHICH IS EZ TO BURN BUT IT WILL KILL YOU IF YOU DO NOT KILL IT!!!

Just follow these simple instructions and you will get a few badges for 2min work!

Good luck... Excuse me I mean lucky you on the free badges

Comment by rhoark

Some people get confused by Halazzi's health bar. When he hits each 25% mark and switches forms, he appears to heal back up, but his humanoid form hp drops quickly, and he switches back when the humanoid form hp is around 25%. When he's back in lynx form, he once again displays his true hp.

Saber lash doesn't have an official cooldown, but I've never seen him do it anywhere close to back to back. So, while he can suddenly take off a big chuck of health with the lash, his unimpressive regular melee is not likely to back up that lash with enough damage to finish off a tank unless healers are under mana pressure. Having a hunter for tranq shot is definitely optional for a t5 tank.

Comment by 50427

i can confirm that he IS solo tankable. on the second shift at 50% my OT was wasted by a lighting, flame shock, and saber lash crit. we thought it was a wipe, but i grabbed both mobs and got overhealed by all the healers. to sum it up, i was finished off when he was at 3% and he died with two people still up.

we by no means out gear him, im a feral in full t4/badge gear. we do have za on farm, so we at least know what we were doing

Comment by 120730

He looks more like a hamster than a lynx imo.

Comment by Phounus

Just a quick note to all you progression raids out there:
If you're having trouble on this fight I really suggest switching a DPS to a healer. In my guild we do have ZA on farm but was doing a "boost run" to gear up some peeps. We had some major difficulties here and went down before 50% many times. I switched to my priest and gave us a minor healing boost and we took him down directly, without any problems at all.

Comment by Xchange

I found this macro to be extremely useful while off-tanking the lynx. This will prevent you from having to chase him down if a healer or dps-er pulls agro the instant he spawns. It's also referenced on wowwiki.com.

When he is about to split, he will say "I fight wit' untamed spirit.." ... then just spam this until you pick up the lynx:

/cleartarget
/targetexact Spirit of the Lynx
/cast Growl
/target Halazzi

Comment by 75756

Hunters role during this fight:
1. Save MD for a bit later
2. Use Tranquilizing Shot when Halazzi Frenzy.
3. MD on Offtank when Halazzi summons linx spirit (at 75% hp)
4. Kill fast totems that boss drops during his troll form. (Lightning Totem.
5. Use Tranquilizing Shot when the linx spirit Linx Flurry

Two good macros for this fight:
/cast Misdirection
and
/target Corrupted to find quickly the totem
/target Spirit Linx to fast dispell enrage
/target Halazzi to fast dispell frenzy if needed

Comment by Zaleindris

2 man'd him today. Me (Prot Pally) tanked and had a mage sit there and DPS the totems. At 80, this fight is a joke, his cleave attack misses 90% of the time.....the other 10%, make sure to have SS up.

Comment by 505272

Killled by a hunter/prot paladin combo.
Paladin stands with the tankpet just anywhere where you think its ok to tank this kitty :D
Important: Use your blockset. Hunter should dps and switch QUICK to the totems and dispell
his enrage with tranq shot. See, your only problem are the totems, as they WILL kill the hunter if he is too slow at switching. Dead hunter => dead paladin shortly after (enrage hurts!)

Comment by 144425

Tried soloing as a prot pally... Devo aura up for his Phase 1, and flame res aura for P2. It's VITAL to dispel his flame shock off yourself, or the ticks will hurt (2.5k ish a tick). Everything was goin good until I saw him turn red and get HUGE... Turns out he has a 10 minute berzerk timer.

Halazzi yells: "Whatchoo been doin', pacin' yourselves?"

Comment by IsWindy

Soloed as a prot paladin (icc/toc 25 gear).
Keep holy shield and sacred shield up. Use judgement of light to heal yourself and back it up with seal of light when needed.
Cleanse the flame shock, destroy the totems (they stack up otherwise) and get out of the duo phases(lynx+troll) as fast as you can.
In last phase do as much damage as you can(save mana potion for this) and continue to get rid of totems. I did not reach the enrage timer but feel free to use flask/food/replace trinket if you have issues.

Comment by 336631

As a Protection Paladin, I honestly found this to be the second easiest boss to solo.

You do NOT have to destroy the Lightning Totems at any point, despite what so many claim. At first I tried to destroy them, but I couldn't keep up with the spawn time(they spawned about 5 seconds after I killed one), so I decided to kite the boss around the room.

It turns out that if you kite him just outside the range of the totem, you'll be able to move him around the room, with totems despawning after the fourth-fifth cast. This made the fight extremely easy, and a push-over compared to Nalorakk and Akil'zon.

EDIT: The only real danger is his Saber Lash ability. I just kept Seal of Light up during phase 1 after the first transition(burned him down with Vengeance at the pull). I never at any point got dangerously close to death, had to use Divine Shield or anything like that. The only consumable I used was the Tanking Charm from the Hex Sticks.

Second edit: This was done in mainly Icecrown 10 gear, some lesser pieces and a few Emblems of Frost and crafted Icecrown pieces, no drops from any 25-man.

Third edit! Pretty editting

Last edit! I did NOT have any troubles with the enrage timer using this strategy. He died after about 7 minutes of combat.

Comment by Uroon

For anyone standing outside a closed gate, trying to work out how to get in to him - you're at the wrong entrance. Head east, around the fallen tree and back to the east side of his room - there you will find an open door.

Comment by Skorpion9x

Soloed easily on my Feral Druid in mostly 264 tank gear with a few 277s. I used the kiting strategy mentioned by previous posters.

Comment by Nobbel

In Cataclysm he can very easily be done solo:

Comment by Corehoundhunter

Dont FD as a hunter solo when he splits becuase the spirit disapears and then the troll becomes invincible.

Comment by 314557

Easily soloed as a level 85 balance druid, in 361 ilvl gear. I stayed in solar eclipse the entire time, and kept hots on myself the entire time. He does somewhat high damage, but it's consistent and he doesn't have all that much health - around 700k total including the split phases.

Comment by 534021

Soloed as a 85 Enhancement Shaman in ilvl 361 gear, using 4pc PvP for increased Maelstrom procs.
Moving him to avoid the Lightning Totem helps but it isn't necessary unless he has several of them up at the same time. Use MW procs to heal, kill, probably the most durable of all bosses.

Comment by Pledioch

Halazzi seems to be the same fight at 85 that he was at 70.

He still has all of his old abilities, but he also summons a Refreshing Water Totem with 100,000 health that gives 5% health and mana back to Halazzi every 2 seconds, but we realized you can just move the boss away from the totem's green circle on the ground and it won't heal him, but we still killed the totems anyway.

The lynx will still completely mess you up if you're a mage like me, but our rogue and DK didn't have too much trouble taking hits from him. Good luck!

Comment by Servian

In 4.0.6 you focus on the Lynx when it spawns and kill the totems that come up. The Lynx can't be taunted when it enrages.

Comment by cywang86

Drag boss away from Refreshing Water Totem, you can start moving when he starts casting.
Kill Corrupted Lightning Totem.
Taunt Spirit of the Lynx when it's summoned.

Keep in mind the water totem works for party. Ranged stand under it to help the healer and the 5% mana per 2 should make this really easy.

Rest is tank and spank.

Comment by tenduramax2

There is no need to focus on the Lynx. It will beat on random players, just ignore and heal thru it. When the Lynx spawns you'll notice that both he and Halazzi's HP will be at 2 million. Just continue to DPS the boss and when his health reaches 0 the Lynx will despawn. Rinse and repeat one more time and you win.

Comment by 710921

Rather than destroying the Water Totem, I'd suggest keeping it up.
If you stand in the green circle, you get healed, much like in Vortex Pinnacle.
This reduces the strain on the healer, and as ranged (and a bit of smart positioning melee) you can spend all your time in this circle and focus on the Lightning Totem and then boss instead.

As of 4.1 I'd recommend this method to kill the boss:

Tank moves Halazzi away from Refreshing Stream. No one should dps this totem, but rather have all the ranged/healer step into the green area of it. This makes the lynx-phase a lot easier to deal with.

Once the lynx-phase starts, dps'ers continue to focus only on the boss (and ). The ranged should already be standing in the green circle from Refreshing Stream and optionally if a melee dps is focused by the Lynx he/she can move into the green effect aswell. Besides that people can ignore the Lynx.

This strategy worked like a charm and made this boss a breeze.

PS: Note that the lynx is stunnable and tauntable (for a few seconds) when not enraged.

Will the water totem heal the Boss during the Lynx Phase, or does it despawn by then? Wouldn't be good if it goes after a person that's standing in the water totem, would it?

4.1

He has 2 phases:

Phase 1. he will cast a Water Totem that has significant health and displays a green healing circle similar to the dragon in VP.

Tank needs to be aware of the cast bar as these heal for a good amount. Tank kites the boss out of range of the totems. Have DPS/Healer stand in the healing circle for high mana regen. Don't waste dps killing the healing totem unless the tank (fails &) boxes himself into a corner.

Phase 2. A lynx add will spawn. The add will fixate on a party member and is unable to be tanked. All DPS need to focus this down asap.

The boss also drops a corrupted lightning totem which casts chain-lightning & hits for decent damage. A shield slam crit, or revenge+heroic strike is enough to kill it so you don't have DPS swap off the ADD, simply have your tank deal with it.

When phase 2 ends, phase 1 restarts.

Take note, players have been reporting nausea from the horrible voice acting of this encounter.

Comment by Psychedelia

For 4.1 patch
Ranged dps stay near water totem and tank move him out them. DPS the lighting totem, and if possible ignore the lynx add.

Comment by Seahenar

For any Death Knights out there, you can use Dark Simulacrum on his Flame Shock for a nice 25k dot.

If you're an arcane mage, sit in the water totem, spam arcane blast (and only arcane blast) and laugh at your 1 button dps numbers.

Comment by Jaromor

Am I the only one who can't make any targeting macro work for the Corrupted Lightning Totem?

/target Corrupted
/target Corrupted Lightning Totem
/targetexact Corrupted Lightning Totem

...none of the above seem to work.

ok tanks, try this; when he drops water totem kite him out as you should but go some distance then run back in to the healing circle yourself. Now he will be outside the healing ring and you will benefit from the regeneration, greatly nerfing his offense. Ignore the cat, burn him till he recalls it and repeat.

This can be the easiest fight in the instance.

Comment by PrairieChicken

It's pretty impossible to end the fight NOT in full mana, unless your party does not destroy the lightning totems. The mana regen from water is just insane(Arcane mages could also spam Arcane Blast, and remain in full mana the entire combat).

Comment by 429792

For all the tanks out there, you can easily guide yourself on the edge of the Water Totem range and keeping him out by using the walk key to move yourself there.

The amount of distance he covers when you aren't on running speed is drastically reduced, and you won't have the effect of him standing right on top of you.

Well i was having fun soloing ZA as a 487 Destruction Warlock until i hit Hallazi who wtfpwned me into the ground.

However with some trial & error heres how i did it:

P1: Voidy tank & spank using "Move To" each time a water totem spawned to pull boss outside of green circle (beware its slightly larger than the graphic). My voidy died twice, dont bother trying to health funnel him its easier to use Flame of Xoroth and repop him then quickly taunt.

P2(Spirit): Stood on very edge of water totems left from P1, Voidy tanked boss i tanked spirit (Spirit obviously outside of water totem range but im inside it getting some extra healing). Nuked the living crap out of spirit, might wanna save DPS CD's for this bit. Used Fel Flame or instant Incinerates to drop the lightning totems. If all water totems de-spawned before spirit was dead i used Sacrificial Pact & Unending Resolve until spirit merged.

P1 is annoying due to the constant having to move of the pet but P2 is seriously rough. Healthstones saved my life twice so dont forget them.

Total Time to Kill: 5mins 21sec (He also got a fair bit of healing due to slow moving from totem range)
DPS: 53'942

This is not an easy fight as a clothie so be prepared to wipe a few times. Hunters however will probably lol at it (i hate hunters!).

Also i missed the Timed run due to this guy.....had 9 mins left on 1st try too :(

A strange thing happened to me a friend last night. We were doing a timed Zul'Aman run and killed Halazzi with 13 minutes left after freeing the first 3 scouts.

We even got the achievement for not killing his totems.

Except... the doors of his room never unlocked. And the scout (Kasha) in his room had the dialogue as if we hadn't killed Halazzi yet. We trying dropping group and going back in, but the doors to his room were still shut.

Comment by Sandwalker

Twice now (today and yesterday), my party killed Halazzi quickly, to find that the doors remain shut. I'm wondering if he has to be killed a bit slower in order to transition through all his phases first. The first time, two of my party had Ra'sha's Sacrificial Dagger on them, so they used it to kill themselves, and rez outside to summon the rest of us. This time it was just a three-man party, with no dagger. So we had to hearth out, and return to finish the rest of the dungeon.

In future, I'll try to get Halazzi killed a bit slower to see if that's a viable workaround for being trapped.

Comment by Hazgard2099

i realize this is realize this is quite old, but my wife and I tried this tonight...He now has over 4 million health. He drops his healing totems quite often, and with that we were unable to drop his health below 3m. We never saw any lightning totems, nor any other phases. Maybe the lightning totems were taken out, or taken out of the 1st phase anyway.
