Prince Malchezaar

Karazhan Servant Quarters Attumen & Midnight Moroes Maiden of Virtue Opera Event The Curator Chess Event Terestian Illhoof Shade of Aran Netherspite Nightbane Prince Malchezaar Prince Malchezaar is the current ruler of Karazhan, however little else is known about him except that he is a Man'ari Eredar, and is possibly a sub-commander of the Burning Legion. He is considered by many to be the final boss of Karazhan, however, some consider the creature Nightbane, (who is only available to be summoned after killing Malchezaar at least once), to be the true final boss. Attacks and Abilities Summon Infernal - Every 45 seconds or so, Malchezaar will summon an infernal which, about 3 seconds after landing, casts a Hellfire Area of Effect (AoE) roughly the size of the one Baron Geddon uses. Each infernal lives for about 180 seconds, and there is no limit to the amount that can be up at any given time. Typically you will have 3-5 infernals up at a time until the end of Phase 2 (see below), after which they will start increasing rapidly. These infernals are stationary, and can be avoided by the raid. Cleave - During phase 2, Machezaar will use a melee range cleave. Flying Axes - Malchezaar will release his axes in the third phase, allowing them to fly around attacking random raid members. Healers will need to heal through this damage. Phases Phase 1 - Casts Enfeeble, Shadow Word: Pain, Shadow Nova, and summon infernals. Phase 2 - Malchezaar switches to duel wield which does significantly more damage. He also sunders the main tank and cleaves. No longer casts Shadow Word: Pain. Phase 3 - Prince will spawn the flying axes, however his damage will return to normal and he will no longer sunder or cleave. He will resume casting Shadow Word: Pain, summon infernals at a much higher rate, start casting Amplify Damage and no longer cast Enfeeble. General Tips Healers can stand at max range for heals on the MT and be out of range of the shadow nova, thus able to continue healing during enfeeble. Malchezaar cannot use Enfeeble on the highest target on his threat list. However, since aggro is not pulled until 110% of the MT's aggro for melee and 130% for ranged, it is possible for someone to be higher than the MT without pulling aggro, and thus cause the MT to be a target of Enfeeble. The radii of the Hellfires from the infernals are not nearly as wide as they seem based on the graphic. If you feel you must, test the limits during phase 1, when the encounter is relatively less stressful. Testing the radius of a hellfire during a later point in the fight could spell disaster if you're lost to a stray axe hit or enfeeble. Trolls should take full advantage of the racial during an enfeeble, as being at 1 Hit Point (HP) will always grant you the maximum haste effect. Priests should refrain from using Shadow Word: Death during the fight at any point, as lag or the delay in the reflect damage can come back as an instant death if Malchezaar casts enfeeble immediately after your Shadow Word: Death.
