First boss in Magisters' Terrace.

The fight is quite similiar to Warlord Kalithresh in Steamvaults.
It's a simple tank and spank fight.
At some point, he will siphon a crystal and gain 10% mana per tick until you destroy the crystal.
When he's been interupted or done channeling he'll start using his mana for AE that will hit your party for about 1000 damage per tick.
He doesn't hit too hard, but just as Warlord Kalithresh he hits harder unless the crystal is destroyed.

On Heroic Mode, he also uses Drain Life and Drain Mana, which is important that you interupt as he uses the mana he drains to AE the party.

No, notice the red skin, the horns, the stumpy vulture-like wings in his back. This is one of those "fel elves," according to the model viewer. I'm not sure what the in-game term is. But it isn't hard to guess their nature; they are to blood elves what satyrs are to night elves. Fel-powered, demonic relatives.

Normal Instance Strategy:

Note: The barrier door CLOSES when you start this encounter, so have your group inside before starting.

As stated above this fight is almost the same as the final boss of The Steamvault.

When you come up to his room you will see large green crystals around. Pull him to one of these crystals and start DPSing him. He will start to channel onto one of the crystals. At this point you must destroy the crystal before he is finished channeling. Move him to a new crystal once one is down.

He will also Drain Life/Mana, which can be easily dispelled if you have a class to do it.

If your dps is good he won't channel more than 2 crystals. This was a very, very easy boss.

What's the difference between the normal and the heroic mode?

Comment by 130679

This boss is very similar to Warlord Kalithresh. He will begin to drain energy from the crystals on his platform, increasing in size and in damage dealt as he does. These must be broken ASAP or he will detonate them.

As he drains energy from the crystals, his mana bar (which starts out empty) begins to fill up. Even if you break the crystal before he finishes draining it, he will begin exploding, which takes small chunks out of his mana pool until he is completely out of mana.

Comment by camane

If you are well geared/ experienced at all this fight is rediculously easy and fun. As long as you tank him up on top, have all the dps stay on the bottom and let him get one or two of the drains off.
He'll probably die after two crystals and the animation for the aoe is cool enough that it's worth healing through

Comment by 56506

This guy is easy on normal. Well, we were geared quite well.

Our group, on our 1st try, stomped him even though our healer was locked out of the door.

The second time I fought him, different group, we did not attack the tanks and we won.

He simply isn't that hard which makes boss 2 and 4 very confusing considering their difficulty.

Comment by jaxsonbateman

On normal mode, he is incredibly easy. As mentioned, if your group isn't mediocre one person can get locked out of the door and you'll still kill him.

The strat is very straightforward.

1. Tank and spank next to crystals.
2. Heal as needed.
3. Destroy crystals if/when he siphons.
4. Loot

On our first attempt we had a normal group (tank, healer, 3 dps) and burned him before he started siphoning a second crystal. On our second, we had an unconventional group (tank, 1 main healer, 1 loldps off healer, 2 dps), and still got him midway through the second crystal. {Edit - I should point out that I, the loldps off healer, actually got locked out of the room before the second kill, so really he was four manned. Don't underestimate just how easy he is! I'm not saying this as a sort of bragging comment; I'm just trying to say that you should not worry about this fight too much on normal mode}

Basically, if your group is competant, you should have no problems whatsoever. If you can kill him before he siphons a third crystal, I'd imagine you have no problems with Vexallus (the next boss).

Comment by 140634

he's pretty simple really....all you gotta do is down the adds rlly quick then move onto the boss....make sure to be ready to attack crystals because he gets his power from them...thats it rlly....mainly tank n' spank

Comment by Zeshar

Not sure if it will make a big difference but since he needs exactly 10% mana to cast his AOE you can use even the slightest mana drain to prevent at least one from happening.

Comment by brionl

For your hunters, you can use Viper Sting after he gets mana from one of the crystals. Hopefully it will save a blast.

Comment by 113820

I had a group with:
Tank (Paladin)
Warlock(DPS)
Priest(Healer)
Mage(Me:P)
Huntard(BM)

What we did:
Tank tanked the Boss (Offcourse)
All dpsed the boss untill he channeled. Then I hit the crystals took a Fireball and a fireblast to destroy it. So their not that hard. Keep doing this untill the boss is down, he isnt that hard :)

Comment by 33153

Is it possible to out range his aoe? As a tank i tended to drag him right through the group from left to right. Should i try to go further away and maybe save some aoe damage?

Also, nobody has said this yet, but on heroic mode he drops 1 epic and a badge, no blues.

Comment by 134238

Worth noting:

You can prevent at least 1 full explosion by having a class that can drain mana in some way (BElf Mana Tap/Hunter Viper Sting/Warlock Drain Mana/Priest Mana Burn/etc.) AFTER he is done channeling. He "explodes" for each 10% mana he has...so all you need to do is get him to X9% and he will have mana he cannot use.

If you have a lock, he can mana drain the boss whilst he is at full health. It doesn't drain it all, but it helps.

Comment by 60618

You shouldn't really try to suck out his mana, he has tons of it.
Tank and nuke the hell out is best tactic, and if you have group healer in your party, ignore the crystal. For a priest that AoE he does, 4 of the aoe waves equals to one prayer of healing in heroic. His AoE is so weak even in heroic.
I always use the full nuke aproach.
(And if you get locked out of the room and you are healer priest, you can still heal with prayer of healing trought the walls.)

Comment by 63512

His AoE is actually FIRE damage, but not Arcane. Click here to see: School Damage (Fire).
Paladin tanks can dramatically reduce the overall damage of the group by using fire resistance aura.
As he finishes draining the crystal (or as the crystal breaks), his mana can be mana tapped, stinged, drained, burned, etc to reduce the number of AoE he can cast.
His melee is weak, so he can be downed with the healer dpsing given the crystals are destroy very quickly.
He's a freebie.

Comment by 18754

Rogues - I recommend you cloak of shadows on the first aoe blast. By the time the 3rd one starts up (if the fight takes that long) the cooldown should be up again.

Most of the damage will be mitigted by CoS.

Comment by calcifer

Any difficulty this fight might have is negated if you have a CoH priest healing, heroic or normal. Ignore the crystals because you can heal through the AoE with CoH, dispel drain mana/health.

Comment by 142569

we had a decent priest on heroic and we just dpsed him done, didn't even touch the crystals...with a decent healer you should be able to do that no prob, we had him down by the second syphon.

Comment by 98530

Depending on the group makeup, i've found it's better to just ignore the crystals aswell. If your group doesn't have much for instant burst damage, by the time you break the crystal in heroic mode, he's nearly at full mana, and sits there AoE'ing anyway.

Just try to interrupt the drain mana spells and it's pretty easy.

Comment by 121955

Just wanted to add that unlike the final boss in Steamvaults u dont have to destroy the crystals to get him on easy (hc mode btw) everytime ill go to Mgt Hc we just fully nuke him last time was fun when our group was

Warrior (tank)
Druid (healer)
Dps mage (me and frost)
Dps Hunter (he got dc at the start)
Dps rogue

and we killed him so easy he started to suck the 2nd crystal and thne he well DIED, nice loot and its fun and easy unlike the rest of the bosses in Mgt Hc :)

Comment by cms2k

Heroic Mode: 1 Warrior (tank), 2 Mages (cant remember spec), 1 Hunter (MM/Surv), 1 Priest (Holy)

We ignored the crystals and just DPSd him down. Ten seconds after he charged the second crystal, he was dead.

Comment by Hadrial

unless your group is 5 paladin's. leave the crystals alone and just burn him down (cake)

easiest epic's in the game (also probably the fastest to get)

Comment by 55322

I have a Restoration shaman... so this is based on a resto shaman's perspective.

Personally for this boss we walk up along the stairs to the upper area where he is.

Tank goes in, we dps i heal etc. We ignore the crystals let him do his AoE thing and i just chain heal... its the easiest boss in the instance.

It is a waste of time to kill the crystals, nuking him is faster and more effective.

Also a couple things about him 1: His aoe is Fire damage so a fire elemental is uneffected 1 more dps, 2: you can fire ward, 3: paladin's fire aura helps if you want, 4: you can mana drain him while hes gaining mana so he has less before the aoe (the crystal only gives him 100% no more so if you drain early thats less aoe's) but personally only mana drain with viper sting otherwise you are wasting dps.

Hope this helps.

Comment by 127329

His AOE seems to be fire, not arcane. Warlock's Nether Protection can make you immune to it.

Comment by Capnkernow

As has already been stated, ignore the crystals in both Heroic and Normal.

As both a resto shaman and druid tank, its much much quicker. His AOE doesn't hurt that much and can easily be healed through with chain heal/CoH or Tranquility if needed. I can't speak for a healadin though, don't know what its like for them.

It's almost impossible to change targets quick enough anyway to nuke the crystal to stop any AOE as it is. Just nuking all the way through it is the best option, after 6 attempts, 1 normal and 5 Heroic this strat really works.

For those that aren't ignoring the crystals despite the recommendations to do so in this forum:

Comment by 171182

With this boss you can just nuke him, ranged and healer stay away from him, because of AOE, have hunter MD the MT and pull him to lower stage of the room. The others stay on top. You dont have to worry about draining crystals, just pop trinkets and thats it, tank and spank!

Comment by 76831

You don't have to do the crystal smashing in heroic mode, any decent healer can just push through it with ease.

This may be a tad off topic, but his name reminds me of the One Winged angel....he has the black wings and long hair. Plus Selin Fireheart said quickly.. Sephiroth :D

Comment by TMWNN

Tanked the instance on heroic with my paladin and found that Avenger's Shield on the two wretched in front of him pulled the boss (and since I always pull the two-pack first, all the others in the room) as well, something that never happened before 3.0.2. Not sure if this is a bug with Avenger's Shield, the boss' aggro range, or both.

Solutions:

Misdirect pull just one of the two wretched.

Comment by 241166

something weird happened. if you aggro him clearing the room and not all party members are in the room a force field kind of thing shows up and they cant get into the room. Some how this happened the other day. luckily the tank was out of the room also and was able to grab aggro and hold him. he can cross the force field and heal himself. which sucks. but i can be done. just thought id add that.

Soloed today by Praxus of Alterac Mountains (80 Ele Sham)

Easy really, start off with a few LBs and LvBs, when he goes over to the crystal, pop lust and nuke him. If you get low, just spam LHW back to full.

On to Vexallus! I predict a kite fest/exploitment of Selins room.

Comment by 141758

Easly soloable as a feral Tank drood in T7.5 gear.
Clear the mobs in the room as they aggro if u try to only take the boss down (found it the hard way lol).
Tank him near a crystal, keep hitting tab while u do ur DPS rotation. If it changes target, then he will begin to use a crystal. Kill it fast (2-3 mangles or mauls will be enough), then wash, rinse and repeat.

YES! I AM A GOD!

That is all

Comment by unholynite

He looks like an undead blood elf :o

Comment by triggz

He can be pulled out of his room if you are soloing him and don't want to deal with the crystals. He tries to channel them but nothing happens (he doesnt run back). Made soloing as a rogue a lot easier.

Comment by 50125

Resto Druid Soloable:

PVP spec: 27/0/44
PVP Gear: 23k HP / 14k mana pool / 2.1k sp

Basic Strat:
Keep your dots up and keep your hp up. I like to tank him on the top of his platform so if I eat back to back crits I can hop down and kite him while I heal up. And remember you can go feral form when he tries to drain your mana.

Comment by Aldun

Just a tip.. Clear the adds instead of skipping them (the zombies), or they'll come when you engage.

Comment by 534105

Also be sure that the WHOLE group is in the room. A gate closes directly after pull and lets no one in or out.

Comment by Thottbot

He gets huge from some crystals and has a sick aura. Make sure everyone is in the room when you start, also.

Well it looks like the Kalithresh fight rehashed. Spank and tank and kill the crystals before he consumes them.

Comment by Thottbot

Rehashing this for anyone not familiar with it.

It's true, this fight is almost exactly like the Warlord Kalithresh fight in Steamvaults. Tank should start out by pulling Selin to a crystal and tanking him there. When he starts draining a crystal, all DPS should focus on the crystal. His ability is different than Kalithresh's, however, as he starts with no mana, and only gains it by draining it from the Fel Crystals. The point of DPSing the crystals fast is to lessen the damage taken in the next stage.

Immediately after the mana drain is done or the crystal is destroyed, he will begin casting an aoe damage spell, generally hits for 1.5k~ from what I've been able to see. He'll do that until his mana pool is drained back to normal. During this time, you just need to keep trying to DPS him, while the tank gets him into position near the next crystal.

One minor concern here is Line of Sight issues, seeing as how he can go up on a platform and be out of the line of sight of the ranged DPS for several seconds. To counter this, obviously, just make sure you're following him to a certain degree.

Not a hard boss fight at all, if you know what you're doing.

Comment by Thottbot

Just a moment ago I tanked this boss on heroic mode when he used all the crystals.He is very easy even on heroic.Tank and spank only

Comment by Thottbot

If you are having trouble with the amount of damage his AoE aura thing does, keep in mind its fire damage, so fire ward, fire res. aura so forth might help...

i just love this guys voice

on topic: just an easy tank and spank most although to make it easyier you can DPS the crystals

-During the Fight:
your Paladin needs to use his Fire Resistance Aura and Be Ready to Cleanse The Siphon Life Debuff also During the Fight Selin wil Drain mana From Green Crystals Near him .. he Has 0 Mana but Draining mana from them gives him 10% Mana Per Tick so you must Destroy The Fel Crystal .. Selin Stops Draining when he Gets 100% Mana or when crystal is Destroyed , When he Gets mana He Spams Fel Explosions until he Gets 0 Mana again and so on ..

Comment by Allakhazam

Best boss fight I've ever had! Hes totally mad. The way hes in rampage and "addicted" and shouting "Yes! I am a GOD!"..
I want to do this instance again and again just because of this boss. Oh and to get spell haste wrist..

Comment by Allakhazam

Important notes for this battle:

- Be inside main room when Selin is pulled or you'll be locked out for fight.
- Destroy green gems (Fel Crystals) as soon as he targets it. It seems he'll generate mana throughout the drain but you can limit how much he gets and in turn how long the AoE will last.

Selin Fireheart

Selin FireheartVexallusPriestess DelrissaKael'thas SunstriderSelin FireheartMagisters' TerraceAbilities

Siphon Fel Crystal: Siphons mana from a nearby Fel Crystal, drawing energy from it. Will continue until either the crystal is destroyed or Selin's mana is full.

Fel Explosion: Area of effect damage spell, cast continually until Selin is out of mana.

Drain Life: Randomly targeted channeled spell, deals damage and heals Selin. Should be interrupted.

Drain Mana (Heroic mode): Randomly targeted channeled spell on a player with mana, drain Mana to the player and give it to Selin. Should be interrupted.

Tips

This encounter is similar to the Warlord Kalithresh encounter. The group must be quick to destroy the crystals before Selin can siphon a significant amount of mana.

Selin starts the fight with no mana, so his area of effect spell poses no threat initially.

Make sure the entire party is in the room before engaging as the doors will close once the fight has began.
