Al'Akir is the Lord of Air and the weakest of the four major Elemental Lords (the others being Ragnaros the Firelord, Therazane the Stonemother, and Neptulon the Tidehunter).

The Elemental Lords led the armies of the Old Gods until they were defeated by the titans and banished to the Elemental Plane. Now Al'Akir rules Skywall from the Throne of the Four Winds, where he is encountered in Cataclysm.

I love the model for Al'Akir, and the sword he's wielding looks fantastic. Not much in the way of abilities or strategies right now, but here's a video of Paragon defeating Al'Akir 25-man during the beta. This guy is freaking HUGE!

You also get the "of the Four Winds" title when defeating Al'Akir on heroic difficulty.

Looks like a fun fight, and I cant wait to try him out. :)

Al Akhir, in Arabic means The End

expect to wipe a lot

Comentario de saud

Actually to be more precise Al'akhir means in arabic "the last" but the end in arabic is "Al nihayah"

(Edit):Wtf...That guy Grimnos has more Plus ratings than me and I posted the Same Comment earlier....

Easily the biggest mob in the game ever. He is roughly the height of the entire zone once p3 starts.

Comentario de LoreAddict

Does he have special dialog if you have Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker equipped like the Shade of Aran if you had Medivh's staff?

This guy just got downed by <Apex> on EU-Al'akir, but the realm is still functional.

Weird.

Comentario de theBestInTheGame

It is worth mentioning that this fella has a 1-2% chance of dropping Riendas del draco del Viento del Sur
Whetever it drops from 10 man and 25 is unknown for now.

Comentario de 739949

This may be obvious but im clarifying i belive Al'akir is Thunderaan's father. Al'akir is the king of the winds and Thunderaan is the prince. Hmm Thinking theres a queen too.

Comentario de LoreAddict

If this video from the cataclysm beta is to be believed, the Heroic version of Al'Akir is obscenely hard.

A premade group decked out in the best gear available is incappable of clearing phase one.

...

I sincerely don't know if I should be awed or terrified.

How to: Al'Akir (Normal)

This is a perfect example why some bosses are SO MUCH easier on 10man than in 25man (thanks a lot blizzard for having exactly the same damage in both, but with 25man being 5x harder). In 10man, spread equally on all sides, 2 healers is doable, 3 is fine as well. I suggest either 1 tank/3 heal/6 dps or 2 tank/2heal/6 dps, 2tank/3heal/5dps really isnt needed. In 25, 2 tanks, 6-7 healers and rest dps.

Phase 1 (100-80%)

The key here is to spread like CRAAAAAZY. In 10man, make single stacks and spread healers equally to be able to heal everyone. In 25, make stacks of 2's and 3's, the damage is pretty crazy compared to 10man but you just gotta heal it. Boss doesnt hit tank very hard at all.

As for abilities, he spawns a random lightning web thingie that chains to everyone inside it, hitting for 20k for every player inside. So make sure you move ONLY front/back and not sideways when moving (sometimes you have to, but just avoid it generally).
When Wind Burst casts, move closer to boss, deals ~40k dmg to everyone and knocks them back.
Dont stand under blizzard (the blizzard itself doesnt hurt, but the ice on ground doe and slows).
When tornados circle around the platform, find the gap between them and go through it to avoid getting grabbed by them. This is all about invidual skill, everyone must be aware of tornados coming from both sides.

Phase 2 (80-25 (30?)%)

Chain lightning web of doom stops, so everyone move to one side of the boss, with tank on one end, melee dps on other and ranged in between.
Tornados from P1 still spawn, they also spawn faster so you might have 2 up at the same time. Wind burst is gone (Not 100% sure on this, cant remember atm), but little adds called stormlings spawn. Offtank or a dps with a taunt (DK in BloodP is <3) grab them and keep them away from the raid and bring them down one by one after 3 of them are spawned. On death, they will debuff boss with 10% damage taken, which stacks, so make sure you dont instantly kill the first one that spawns but wait a little bit.
There will also be a debuff called Acid Rain which stacks as long as phase 2 lasts, dealing increasing damage to everyone in the raid (the stacks can be reseted with AMS/bubble/block). Pop hero/bl somewhere around halfway through p2, its not really needed in p3.

Phase 3 (till 0)

Everyone flies in to the air, boss is untankable. This is really a lot easier than any of the phases, it just looks like it could be hard. Start by having EVERYONE move UP, towards the altitude of the bosses head. Set up some raid marks to keep everyone at the same level. When storm clouds spawn, move downwards a bit. When lightning appears around someone, move away from him. Rinse and repeat until boss is dead. If you get too close to the bottom, simply move through the lightning cloud, the damage isnt even that bad.

Mechanically the best fight in the first tier (par sinestra possibly), but phase 3 is a bit of a let down.(##RESPBREAK##)136##DELIM##hatman555##DELIM##

Can someone link vid of live fight (not beta)

Comentario de Myhv

If you are a healer you'll be frustrated in this fight like no other... So many things to watch out, not to mention ridiculously annoying interrupt debuff that you'll get every time you run close to the boss. And spiky damage in first phase.

But the most annoying part will be that sometimes you just can't do anything and you can't controll what is happening. Like when you have to run close to the boss to avoid knock back, you have to run through ice patches. You barely make it in time but tornadoes spawn close to you and you are knocked back in to them. After you got thrown away by tornado, you come back on the platform just to get knocked back out again by next wind burst.

After spending 2 hours there today I really don't want to go back.

Strategy Guide & Video:

Below I have written a guide as well as demonstrate how we did this boss.

Our Group:

1 Tank - | Druid |
3 Healers - | Paladin | Druid | Priest |
6 DPS - | Ele Shaman | SPriest | Hunter x2 | Death Knight | Rogue

General Boss Information:

This boss is a 3 phase encounter.
He uses the power of wind to try and destroy the raid.
It is a fairly simple encounter and very lenient on damage requirement.
If no one is in melee range, he will cast Electrocute until someone returns/gets in melee range.

Boss Abilities:

---Phase 1: (100%-80%)

You first begin the encounter by damaging Al. Be careful not to pull. You cannot face pull.
Before the pull you will want to split your raid up into 5 groups (2 people on each of the Fleur de Lis looking areas on the platform) due to his ability Lightning Strike. This ability looks like a blanket on the platform and comes outward from Al'Akir in a cone. It will chain to everyone in the area. Make sure each player in the raid can be reached by at least one healer.
In addition, Al will spawn two Squall Lines which are columns of tornadoes rotating around the platform. One will be rotating clockwise, and the other will be counterclockwise. They are alternated on their spawn times and they will make one orbit around the platform before disappearing. The way to avoid this is by the one absent tornado in the line, ideally, by running through the opening. If you touch a tornado, you will be caught in the vortex for a few seconds, taking ~40k damage per second. The only way out of this is the Priest's ability Leap of Faith.
Furthermore, Al'Akir will cast Ice Storm... A blizzard mechanic that leaves an ice patch on the ground. Easily avoidable, so do so.
Finally, the last ability in P1 is Wind Burst. This ability has a cast time, and to avoid being knocked off the platform, you must move in before the cast is complete. It knocks players back about 3/4 the platform. Be careful with tornado and wind burst timing... don't get wind burst into a tornado. Run through ice if you need to.

---Phase 2: (80%-25%)

During the transition into this phase, have everyone converge to the middle and stack in a triangle. Ranged out, Tank and Melee in melee range about 20 yards apart.
The reason you want to stack in this phase is to alleviate pain on the healer's part due to Acid Rain, which persists throughout the phase and places a stacking debuff on every raid member.
In addition, Al'Akir will spawn a Stormling every 25 seconds or so. They need to be killed, and once killed they will apply Feedback to Al'Akir which increases his damage taken by 10% and stacks indefinitely.
Squall Lines continue to spawn in P2.
Wind Burst is NOT cast in P2.

---Phase 3: (25%-0%)

During the transition into this phase, Al will shatter the platform and everyone will gain an Eye of the Storm buff which increases movement speed by 300% and allows everyone to fly.
At this time, you will want to have someone marked to stack on horizontally, like you would in the Malygos encounter. This is due to Lightning Clouds, which is spawned at the altitude of a random player. After the cloud is cast, you have a few seconds to elevate before it erupts in lightning.
However, while stacked you need to be aware of the player with Lightning Rod. This is similar to a Shaman's Thunderstorm and will damage players within 20yards.
Additionally, he will begin to cast Wind Burst again. Move in to prevent being knocked back into the Relentless Storm. This will trap you for 6 seconds and cause nature damage.
Burn him down and you will have your kill!

Tips:

Avoid tornadoes.
Time Stormling deaths for Feedback stacks.
Don't be bad.

I wish you the best of luck, and feel free to critique my post and ask any questions.

A little warning to warriors: don't heroic leap while standing on the platform that Al'Akir is.

Al'akir's hit box is ridiculously large. Your heroic leap will hit the boss and start the fight.

Comentario de pthor1234

For all paladins, mages and death knights, you can drop the acid rain debuff in P2 to help out your healers when you stack starts to get a bit high.

Mages of course can just ice block, and paladins can bubble. Death knights take a little bit of timing, because the debuff gets refreshed each 15 seconds, and the duration of AMS is only 7 seconds when glyphed.

It may not seem like much, but 3 people dropping their debuffs at 10 stacks is 18k DPS pre-nature resistance that your healers don't have to heal, and may enable to you take a little bit longer in p2.

Comentario de Hullken

As a Hunter your best friend in this encounter is Disengage by far. It greatly helps positioning.
When the boss uses Wind Burst you can with this spell ignore moving into melee range and instead standing still, dpsing and disengage back to the platform when he throws you off.
You can also use this ability to avoid Ice Storm and tornados easier.
Having this ability glyphed and specced doesn't hurt, especially not in this fight.

Edit: Remember to have this spell bound to an easy to reach button, I use the middle mouse button. Mixing quick reactions with Disengage helps a lot.

Comentario de pierakor

It helped me a lot to zoom out as far as you can, a guildie told me to use the "/console cameraDistanceMax <value>" and "/console cameraDistanceMaxFactor <value>" commands ingame and try out a few different settings, for ranged dps it helped a great deal noticing the sqaull lines in time and avoiding those moments when you have to dodge a squall line and get close to the boss because of wind burst at the same time.

Comentario de nosound

Getting knocked off the platform while in hard mode is fatale.
Getting grabbed by tornadoes in hard mode is fatale (priests can still drag you out of tornado though).
Even on normal mode it's refreshing my memories of how hard the fight with another Elemental Lord was.
Thanks Blizzard for creating an encounter, which is actually interesting and challenging even on normal difficulty.

P.S. One of encounters in Cataclysm, which is MUCH harder on 25-man version, than it is on 10-man.

Comentario de 89824

Attention Goblins: Do not, I repeat, DO NOT use Rocket Jump during Phase 3 of this boss. You will immediately lose the ability to fly around and drop to your death.

Since no one appears to have put this in..

Comentario de septimx

warriors, it is possible to use "heroic leap" when you're grabbed by tornadoes, and thrown out of the platform, wait for it to throw you, then use heroic leap and land on the platform, make sure you're timing is good, else "no path available" will greet you...

the storm clouds in P3, is quite hard to see (i hope they make clouds darker), especially when you're melee class and its recommended to close in to the boss, the others behind you just tell you when to move up or down, depending on where you start p3...

managed to down him a few hours ago with this strategy we read off somewhere: (Feb27)

P3 Strat, Start Top most, go down once to eye level, go down another to shoulder level, go down to bottom, go to knee level, go to waist level, go to top most again because by this time storm clouds have dissipitated, then repeat... he should be down by the time you reach shoulder level again... good luck to all...

Comentario de Furydeath

He should have a quote for if you walk into the raid zone with Trueno Furioso, Espada Bendita del Hijo del Vientolike Shade of Aran did when you had Atiesh.

I mean it is HIS SON'S own sword you have and he's just like oh hey i seen that befor...you WHAT! xD

Comentario de Peperz276

Is this guy's name possibly from Robert Jordan's series The Wheel of Time? In the Second book, there is mention of Lan's father, Al'Akir Mandragoran, being King of the Malkieri.
Can you at least say if i'm wrong or not?

Comentario de aghanimx

Did Al'Akir today with guild and I can confirm he has a new loot table for 4.1. He dropped 2 tier shoulders for us, which confirms the new loot table that supposedly also includes cloaks, necklaces, and rings.

Comentario de Manbewbs

Vanq head, Conq shoulders on 10 man regular, our raid members were very excited :p

Comentario de drakenheart

Can confirm that he now drops tokens for head and shoulders. At LEAST shoulders, he dropped 2 x t11 shoulder tokens for us tonight. Patch 4.1.

Comentario de Spadge

I've heard that the drop chance for helm and shoulders is very low. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Comentario de anathor

Can't say if the drop chance is low, but what I can say is that as of patch 4.1, 10-man normal version, the tokens aren't a guaranteed drop. We killed it yesterday and it dropped only some pants and a ring... we were all quite disappointed as we had thought a token was guaranteed and it is obviously not.

Just wanted to give the heads up to other raiders, keep focusing on Cho'gall if you need tier tokens!

Comentario de Sumadin

During phase 3 you can use crusader aura and other mount speed boosters to increase your speed.

Comentario de Euphemia

An instructional video on how to kill this guy. Mind you, it's our first kill so the third phase can (and will) be perfected beyond this :)

Hope this can be of help as there are tips throughout the entire video about the abilities and what to do and what NOT to do.

Go kill him guys! Good luck!

I've heard that the drop chance for helm and shoulders is very low. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

I don't think so. Maybe it's a bit lower than from Nef or Cho'gall but not 2%. Chance here is counting drops since Cata release (about 5 months) but the tokens drop since 4.1 (roughly 1 month) so the chance is pretty screwed. My guess is somewhere around 30%. But hey, you can have 2 pieces in 1 drop according the few posts above yours.

Comentario de 616836

Tanking in phase 1 can be just as terrible as it is for healers. When you're tanking, you don't have the luxury of being able to get Wind Bursted off in lieu of Squall Line hitting you. If you get Wind Bursted off, you get Electrocuted and you can't hit any CDs. You may even get knocked out of LoS from healers. At that point, you're dead, it's a wipe. Or sometimes you may be trying to dodge a tornado and run back in for Wind Burst, but you're not fast enough, get knocked off, and it's a wipe. This happened a few times in the 20+ attempts I just went through as a Blood DK, but still frustrating nonetheless.

Looking forward to downing it so I never ever have to go back on any character again. Already this @#$% once as a Holy Priest. Thankfully, tanking in Phase 2 is easy mode assuming you know how to dodge tornadoes. If your tank can't dodge tornadoes, someone else has to tank Al'Akir.

Comentario de 837005

We are trying to beat him every week a day, but can't pass on phase3.

Phase 1 is easy mode, practiced a lot, phase 2 is easier. But when we hit phase3 and fly to his head, we live maximum for 30 sec. First cloud come and the raid is dead... We moving fast down etc. we lose 100% hp in 1-2 seconds.

What should we change? Thanks.

Comentario de rodmin

The cloud has a timed appearance, so time your moving for right after the cloud appears. Check the article for some more insight.

Comentario de 837005

Thanks. Just two questions:

1. We can move BEFORE the cloud starts to damage anyone? I think we can only see it when it damages us hardly and maybe we start to move too late?

2. The cloud placed on the horizontally lowest raid member or on a random raid member?

Thanks a lot!

Comentario de 585478

The cloud appears horizontally at the altitude of a random raid member. Thus, it is ideal to have all raid members at the same altitude, starting at either the top or the bottom, and when a cloud forms, everyone moves together either up or down, depending on where you started, to get out of it. And yes, you have something like 2 seconds after the cloud forms before it becomes filled with lightning and starts to damage people.

Comentario de 843872

this encounter dont require 2 tanks or more 1 tank is enough

Comentario de 765496

This encounter after the nerf doesn't require brain at all until phase 3. And then only thing you need to know is rushing down and then pressing space when he DBM tells you.

You can get hit by all his abilities in ph1 and 2 - you won't die.

Comentario de DeathCale

As of Patch 4.2 there is a bug where Acid Rain no longer stacks. This makes Phase 2 trivial and nearly impossible to die on.

Comentario de 798034

Nerfed Al'akir

Phase1: spread out and only stack in for wind burst. it'll knock u off

tanks must pass through every squal line effectivly. otherwise Al will mass spam electrocute and kill everyone. this is essential. even if u must back away for a few seconds dont let urself get caught in a tornado.

phase2: kill stormlings asap. they spawn bout 10-15 seconds inbetween anyway so u can stack 30 second feedback easily. acid rain doesnt do any dmg anymore

p3: stack high up then go lower when clouds appear.. etc... same fight basically.

p3 can still #$%^up.. jus be careful.

Comentario de staron

I have done this 4-5 times now and I still do not think it is worth doing. I agree that the way the wind bursts interleave with the tornadoes can result in players dieing or getting very frustrated in Phase 1. Phase 2 is much more manageable and controllable. Phase 3 is a joke. 3 out of the 4 times I have done it, 80% of the raid was dead at the time of the boss kill. You think you are inside the lightning but you take no damage. You think you are safely away and you get whacked. Maybe one day we will come back as level 195 and do it for a laugh. Currently it is a joke.

Comentario de 446753

As of 4.3 it seems that this encounter is bugged, it seems that the knockback in phase 3 will kncok you so far away that you'll lose the flight buff even if you are dead center off the model when you get knockbacked.

Now during the 4.3 patch they changed the way speed is calculater (for example go on ur 310% mount then dismount while flying, you'll only fall with 100% speed)

Now does anyone have confimation as if it is indeed bugged, and if it is anyone has some nice insight if this could indeed effect the way this knockback works?

Comentario de 160411

As of 4.3 this fight is very badly bugged.

The first time he uses Wind Burst in phase 3, most (if not all) of the raid will fall to their deaths—even those in melee range.

This is likely due to a change made in the way momentum works. Hopefully they will hotfix it soon.

Comentario de Sinthuja

Ironical that his dungeon servants got voice actors but he didn't.

Comentario de Hairband

In 4.3.4, this boss is still hard but not because of your DPS. It's hard because of mechanics. You need one tank and someone with some tank abilities (DK was perfect with Death Grip) to pull the Stormlings in Phase 2. Also, don't release or you will be locked out.

Try to focus on this strat (10 man run):

Phase 1--Probably the Hardest Phase:

The most important thing is to avoid the Squall Line. You need to call on Vent: "Clockwise front", "Clockwise middle", "Clockwise back", or "Counter front", "Counter middle", Counter back". This is because two Squall lines are going to be moving around, in a circle, on Al'Akir's platform. You DO get about 5 seconds lead time by way of a dusty graphic on the ground, to show you where the Squall Line will form so get the hell off of that spot. Get used to moving into these holes, but trying to stay inside your wedge on the platform (i.e., don't go right or left but try to remain on your fleur de lis spread out), and your party can move pretty freely to find that hole, center yourself because you do get snagged sometimes, and safely stand in the hole of the Squall Line. Squall line can kill you but if you are lucky enough to ONLY get a knock back, you lose 10 seconds of time, which just prolongs this annoying fight.

Secondly, once that's under control, you have to hug him like your best pal when he does a Wind Burst. However, if you are trying to make a break for the Squall Line at the same time, just let yourself fall off. If you have DBM and its sound on, you do get a nice warning sound for every Wind Burst. I just called out "Hug him" for every Wind Burst---no one forgot what to do by the end of the fight.

As for the Lightning Strike conal web attack: it is not that bad. Our healers had plenty of mana to heal through it--and yes, we did really open up for this, 2-3 people on each Fleur de Lis shape, all doing a range check for the healers. There is no reason to stack for this, the conal attack is 60 degrees.

If you just call out the Squall Line and listen and call out the Wind Burst, you can get the feel for this Phase and get through. People were saying front, back, etc. but without the Clock or Counter, you sometimes would hit one before the other and get stuck.

Phase 2:

You still get the wonderful Squall Line and Wind Burst, just like in Phase 1, but you will notice Phase 2 rolls around when Al'Akir is 80% health and the first Stormling appears. At that time, tank pulls around the back of the party and the party gets into a formation of melee in front and ranged in the back with healers able to reach both groups.

Tanks, if you are out of range due to a knockback from the Wind Burst, regain aggro ASAP or else someone will get your Electrocute. It hurts bad and you want to have a healer in range of you---DPS should not taking it. Inevitably, some DPS will take it but hopefully will get healed back up.

Tank stays at opposite end of all DPS, ideally. Melee DPS (not necessarily an OT but someone not squishy) will pick up Stormlings. Ranged, you don't want these on you; please AOE them down. Each one down gives you a 20 second debuff to help you kill the boss called Feedback. The Stormlings are called about once every 20 seconds so you can keep these rolling. Immediately after killing a Stormling, get back on the boss.

After maybe about 8 of these Stormlings die and you move defensively, just as you did in Phase 1, at around 25%, you will be done with Phase 2.

Phase 3:

At 25%, Al'Akir's platform crumbles. You will note at his feet there are a weblike lighting structure--do not go there. They will kill you. You can fly around and get the feel for the movement, but basically you spread out at his feet (some say head, that's fine), and start the dps. The three positions basically are feet, his belly button, and his head (also this is the ceiling of the Storm). Get used to everyone moving, preferably to a marked raid leader, to the same vertical spot, though spread around, for this fight. Feet, belly, head, belly, head, etc. are the positions you will take depending on where you need to move to.

You still get the Wind Bursts from Phases 1 & 2, which are now instant casts instead of having maybe 5 seconds cast lead time. You get one party who has to run out due to Lightning Rod. They need to stay at the same vertical height, just back up aways until it passes and ready to move up if the party moves up.

Then, every 30 seconds or so, a zone of Al'Akir vertically will be deadly due to Lightning Clouds. This basically is the reason you move from feet, belly, head, belly, etc. to try to find a clear zone. So you are going to be moving from the Lightning Clouds, hug him for the Wind Bursts, and if you get Lightning Rod, back up from the party. The key to movement is everyone stay the same and follow the leader you designate.

That's it! Phase 1 is definitely the hardest, and once you get that, Phase 2 will be easy. Then, Phase 3 is really weird and fast, and we wiped plenty of times at 4% boss health but we eventually did it with some new raiders who wanted to see the instance and were geared in Hour of Twilight or LFR.

Comentario de 622946

Good news for mages, this guy is currently (5.3) soloable through sheer DPS.

Update for monks: with 550+ Al'Akir 25 is killable in BM, with 560+ in WW (for WW do not forget remove this glyph), conclave is also soloable starting from Anshal, then going to Nezir and using karma to catch a break and heal yourself)

The comfortable DPS is in 120k sustainable range, because you should outdps his Acid rain and Electrocute. You can postpone your death by running to melee thus stopping Electrocute from ramping up and go back to range, resetting it.
His adds can be rooted by Frost nova, but it is easier to kill them instantly (their spawn rate is enough to keep buff rolling).

Depending on your gear you will spend different time healing in 2nd phase, from occasionally poping Ice Barrier to constantly casting Evocate and praying. The third phase is instant win.

There isn't any requirements for mage-specific abilities, so any decent geared class (with some self-healing) can solo it.

~~Rather unfortunately Conclave is still unsoloable because of evading. :(~~

P.S. With 550+ something conclave is easily killed by mage (start from Rohash, skip -haste with Ice Block; evading is caused by Anshal's adds at 35-40 energy, so leave your copies on Nezir and kill Anshal second, Ice Barrier is of great help)

Hope this helps and good luck with mount.

Comentario de Scampson

Easy solo for Blood DK in ilvl 504 DPS Gear.
-PHASE ONE-
Basic phase. Watch for Squall Lines and move towards him when he casts Wind Burst to avoid falling off the side. Lasts from 100% to 80%.
-PHASE TWO-
Basically Phase One with some adds. If your DPS is low, consider killing some of the adds to increase the damage Al'Akir takes. Lasts from 80% to 25%.
-PHASE THREE-
This phase is completely different, but not any more difficult. Start up towards his head and slowly work your way down to avoid taking large amounts of damage from his Lightning Clouds. All adds from Phase Two that were left alive are still alive, so you might need to finish them off, or just fly around the boss in circles, they will not catch you unless you stop moving. Use Anti Magic Shell if you need to pass through a Lightning Cloud for any reason. Lightning Rod will deal pretty hefty damage if you don't time your Death Strikes while the debuff is up. Lasts from 25% to 0%.

Good Luck!

Preparation: I don't think it's doable in anything other than Beast Mastery, I found the Aliviar espíritu from a spirit beast is required. As long as you constantly use Redirección to your pet when on Nezir's platform, you also shouldn't get any aggro, as I recommend speccing your pet ferocity instead of tenacity, the DPS is needed. Agility food(Bien alimentado), Tambores de los reyes olvidados, and Pergamino de runas de entereza III isn't a must but certainly helps. A core hound pre-cast Histeria ancestral couldn't hurt either. and are required, and I also specced for this fight, as when no one is on Rohash's platform, his debuff (Vientos ensordecedores), makes you silenced, preventing you from using Matar.

Strategy (Conclave of Wind): Start off by bursting down Anshal, due to the debuff from the other wind lords, your haste is decreased by 5000%, and you won't be able to use Matar. Use all your CDs, and try to kill him before you run out of focus. Once Anshal is dead, (you should be 90% health or more) run over to Nezir's platform. Getting to his platform means you get your haste back, but you are still silenced. Nezir has a very strange aggro table, I actually had to macro Redirección into my attacks for him to not attack me. Get out of the Zona de hieloes ASAP, and stay behind him, as he uses a frontal AoE attack (Escarcha permanente).Use Aliviar espíritu once Rohash's debuff starts doing a lot of damage. If you get low after that, you can use a Poción de sanación maestra. Use any CD's you have to finish Nezir, and once he's dead run over to Rohash's platform. Once you get there it's pretty much a kill, however when he casts Huracán, you can still take 300k fall damage, you can avoid this by using Separación right before you hit the floor. All you have to do is kill Rohash before Anshal finishes casting Reunir fuerza, and it should be a kill.

Strategy (Al'Akir): Just avoid Tornadoes (Línea de borrasca) and stand close to him so his Ráfaga de viento don't knock you off, Al'Akir is a ton easier than the conclave of wind, as long as your in 540+ you can pretty much just burn him. It should be noted though that killing Tormentilla put a 10% increased damage debuff (Rebote) on Al'Akir, and it does stack, so it is useful to either let them build up, then kill them all at once, or kill them one by one as they spawn. Important: When he knocks you back during phase 3 with Ráfaga de viento, you have to resummon your pet.

Good luck solo farming Riendas del draco del Viento del Sur as a hunter, and I hope this comment helped you!

Armory to my hunter: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/whisperwind/Scorpob/advanced Feel free to ask me any questions in-game if you are having trouble, or have any questions about the fight, I currently have this on solofarm every week until I get the mount :P

Easily soloed in guardian (probably could have done it in feral) WITH the achievement which appears to no longer be bugged! I soloed conclave as feral beforehand, will try for the Stay Chill achievement next week which I think will require being bear, but might not pull enough dps. Feral only gets 2 energy regen per second with the debuff

The best strat I've seen for conclave is to burst anshal>nezir then get rohash low and wait for anshal to come back up. kill anshal then finish rohash and you got ~ 1 minute 30 seconds to kill nezir which should be plenty of time to get 7 stacks. this only works if silence isn't a problem

He has attack,wound sounds ETC but his actualy voice is never heard.

Comentario de 1221066

Easily soloed by a SoO normal geared destruction warlock at 10man heroic, do the conclave in 10 normal (leave doomguard at nezir, kill rohash, rush back to anshal, kills his weeds, kill nezir, kill anshal) then you can switch 10hc to Al'Akir. Use soul leech and grimoire of sacrifice. Note that the last phase is the hardest phase, so you can save your cooldowns for that. Start with unending resolve to build up a decent soul leech absorb. Whatever you do, do NOT stand in melee, his electrocute ability hits way less than his melee swing to a warlock and SL eats it up easily. Grimoire of sacrifice fades when the boss destroys the ground, don't bother to summon a new pet for that, it will fade endlessly, just fly around and spam your shadowburn as much as you can with dark soul (you should have 4 embers when you reach the last phase to make it as easy as possible). Kill all the stormlings as quick as possbile (good thing we have havoc), try to get them below 20% to get a shadowburn and extra embers for dmg / heal. At the last phase, do not get caught by lightning cloud, if you do you will wipe probably cause it hits too hard and you cant do anything for the whole duration.

Happy farming.

Tried to solo tonight on my ilvl 549 combat Rogue, but I couldn't get Anshal down, b/c he kept stopping my attacks. I ended up speccing Shuriken Toss to try and that didn't help out much either. I'm thinking I need a little higher ilvl as a Rogue to solo this.

Finally his sword is available for transmog! Boosted Paladins can use the Sunsoul sword and the weapon will also be available in garrisons in a few days!

Comentario de Mathaylla

Post-6.0.2 stat squish, the fight is mostly tank-and-spank for an ilvl 527 guardian druid. Popped Berserk at the start of the fight, to build up rage, in case I needed more self-heals with Frienzied Regen. Used Savage Defense, Survival Instincts and Barkskin, just to avoid taking unnecessary AoE damage, still a good idea to avoid lightning clouds in phase 3 - they hurt!

Comentario de Guanyin

Beware, killing him too fast prevents him from shattering the platform, also making it impossible to reach his loot container!

Comentario de Pangolin

Just got a bug with the whirlwinds preventing me from getting to him. They were all not spawned right and were out of range. I ran out of the instance and relogged and when I came back I was able to click the first whirlwind next to the entrance and get to him.

Comentario de Shadowpint

So let me get this straight. According to the loot table here, the mount drops from 10-man normal but not from 10-man heroic? Where is the loot table for 25-man heroic?

Comentario de HeKol

On an average of 10 runs Al'Akir 25HC rewards 144 gold, 95 silver and 13 copper after vendoring dropped gear.

Comentario de ohvist

Anyone else find it entirely wierd that Al'Akir doesn't say anything at all if someone in the group is carrying Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker in their inventory?

I mean, Prince Thunderaan was Al'Akirs' son after all.

Comentario de Malachi68

If you're like me and running around wondering how you actually attack Al'Akir, there are twirling winds above the center of each platform. You click on one and get transported to the center.

Comentario de Gimi987

In first kill after patch 7.3.5 I killed Al'Akir very fast and did not get the flying buff and was unable to loot the crystal. Was not a problem before this patch.

Comentario de Morneau

I was unable to loot Al'Akir in my first kill post-patch 7.3.5. Attempting to leap to another platform would cause me to fall, get picked up by a whirlwind and deposited back on the platform I jumped from. There was no ability to fly, and reach the loot crystal.

I hearthed to Golden Lantern, took the SW portal, and then the Uldum portal. Flew back to the instance and when I entered the instance, I had the flying buff and could then loot the crystal. GL getting your mount. M

Comentario de clo4life

Killed him far too fast on 25H. No loot was visible even with flying. Turns out the Postmaster immediately mails you what you would have received, so there's no need to worry about not getting anything.

Fase 1: ¡Acepto vuestro desafío!

Al'Akir lanza periódicamente Línea de borrasca, Ráfaga de viento, Tormenta de hielo y Golpe de relámpagos a jugadores aleatorios. Lanza Choque estático a cualquier objetivo a distancia cuerpo a cuerpo y Electrocutar a su objetivo principal si ese objetivo permanece fuera de la distancia cuerpo a cuerpo.

Ráfaga de viento – Al'Akir lanza una Ráfaga de viento a todos los jugadores, lo que inflige 189 p. de daño de Naturaleza y los repele.
Línea de borrasca – Al'Akir invoca una línea de cauces de viento que se mueve en círculo alrededor de la plataforma. Las borrascas atrapan a los jugadores en un radio de 4 m e infligen 39 p. de daño de Naturaleza por segundo durante 5 sec.
Tormenta de hielo – Al'Akir lanza una tormenta de hielo en ubicaciones aleatorias alrededor de la plataforma. La tormenta de hielo se mueve lentamente, lo que deja una zona de hielo en el suelo. El hielo inflige 8 p. de daño de Escarcha cada 0.5 s y reduce un 50% la velocidad de movimiento a todos los enemigos que permanezcan en la zona de hielo.
Golpe de relámpagos – Al'Akir lanza un Golpe de relámpagos a un jugador aleatorio, lo que inflige 4 p. de daño de Naturaleza a ese objetivo y 4 p. de daño de Naturaleza a todos los demás objetivos en un cono de 60 grados centrado en el objetivo original.
En dificultad heroica, el Golpe de relámpagos inflige daño de Naturaleza cada segundo durante 16 s.
Electrocutar – Al'Akir canaliza una descarga de electricidad que inflige daño de Naturaleza creciente en el tiempo a su objetivo actual si no puede golpear a ese objetivo con su ataque cuerpo a cuerpo. Dejará de canalizar Electrocutar cuando el objetivo vuelva a una distancia cuerpo a cuerpo.
Choque estático – Al'Akir electrocuta a todos los jugadores a una distancia cuerpo a cuerpo, lo que inflige 66 p. de daño de Naturaleza e interrumpe todos los hechizos lanzados durante 0.1 sec.

Fase 2: ¡Vuestra persistencia aumenta mi ira!

Cuando su salud está al 80%, Al'Akir ya no lanza Ráfagas de viento, pero invocará continuamente Lluvia ácida y hará que aparezcan tormentillas.

Línea de borrasca – Al'Akir invoca una línea de cauces de viento que se mueve en círculo alrededor de la plataforma. Las borrascas atrapan a los jugadores en un radio de 4 m e infligen 39 p. de daño de Naturaleza por segundo durante 5 sec.
Electrocutar – Al'Akir canaliza una descarga de electricidad que inflige daño de Naturaleza creciente en el tiempo a su objetivo actual si no puede golpear a ese objetivo con su ataque cuerpo a cuerpo. Dejará de canalizar Electrocutar cuando el objetivo vuelva a una distancia cuerpo a cuerpo.
Lluvia ácida – Al'Akir inflige 51 p. de daño de Naturaleza por segundo a todos los enemigos. El daño infligido aumenta 51 p. cada 15 s.
Tormentilla – Al'Akir invoca una tormentilla cada 20 s. Las tormentillas infligen 255 p. de daño de Naturaleza por segundo a todos los jugadores en un radio de 5 m. Cuando se eliminan las tormentillas, provocan un efecto rebote en Al'Akir, lo que aumenta su daño recibido.
En dificultad heroica, el daño de Naturaleza que infligen las tormentillas también hace que los objetivos reciban un 25% de daño extra de Naturaleza durante 2 s. Este efecto se acumula de diferentes tormentillas.
- Rebote – La muerte de una tormentilla provoca un efecto rebote hacia Al'Akir, lo que aumenta un 10% el daño que recibe. Este efecto se acumula y dura 20 sec.

Fase 3: ¡Basta!

Cuando su salud está al 25%, Al'Akir destroza su plataforma, lo que sume a todos los jugadores en el aire, donde pueden volar. Ya no lanzará Líneas de borrasca pero volverá a lanzar Ráfaga de viento una vez más junto con Relámpago, Nube de relámpagos y Pararrayos.

Ojo de la tormenta – Todos los jugadores pueden volar a un 300% de la velocidad de movimiento normal.
Ráfaga de viento – Al'Akir lanza una Ráfaga de viento a todos los jugadores, lo que inflige 189 p. de daño de Naturaleza y los repele.
Relámpago – Al'Akir lanza continuamente Descargas de relámpagos a jugadores aleatorios, lo que inflige 44 p. de daño de Naturaleza.
Pararrayos – Al'Akir electrifica a un jugador aleatorio y lo convierte en Pararrayos. Tras 5 sec, el jugador emite relámpagos a los jugadores cercanos durante 5 sec. Los relámpagos infligen 15 p. de daño de Naturaleza por segundo a todos los jugadores en un radio de 20 m en horizontal y 5 m en vertical.
Nube de relámpagos – Al'Akir invoca nubes a la altura de un jugador aleatorio. La Nube de relámpagos inunda toda la zona a esa altura y, 5 s después, estos estallan en una tormenta eléctrica, lo que inflige 49 p. de daño de Naturaleza por segundo a todos los jugadores en la nube. La Nube de relámpagos dura 30 s.
