Each Zealot will occasionally choose a random player to throw their Chakram Solare at

The Chakram will deal moderate damage and disorients any player it passes through for 6 seconds

The targeted player(s) will have a Chakram Solare debuff and have four seconds to move so that the Chakram will not pass through other players on its way to the target

The disorient effect cannot be avoided by turning your back to the Zealot

Chakram Solare is a 5-second cast, and can be interrupted by stuns, incapacitates, and other CC effects

VilcorvoCorruzione Illusoria

This debuff deals Nova Illusoria damage to nearby players every second

Tanks should swap the Fel Raven whenever the current tank is affected by Corruzione Illusoria

The debuffed tank should run out of the group to avoid damaging allies

Sacerdote Corrotto di TerokkVilbomba Illusoria

After five seconds, the Vilbomba Illusoria will detonate, dealing very high damage to all nearby players

Players affected by Vilbomba Illusoria have a bomb timer displayed over their heads

These players must spread out away from the raid in order to avoid splashing the Vildetonazione damage

Guardiano VilombraVilconduzione

While buffed by Vilconduzione, the Warden will continuously cast Vilcatena di Fulmini

This spell targets a random player and jumps to up to four other targets, inflicting very heavy damage

The Shadowfel Warden is immobile while empowered by Vilconduzione

Vilcatena di Fulmini can be LOSed using the staircase down to the Nexus of Souls, when the Warden is on Iskar's platform, or by going around the corner onto Iskar's platform if the Warden is on the stairs

The raid can move back and forth between these spots each time the Warden casts Vilconduzione

Neither Vilconduzione nor Vilcatena di Fulmini are interruptible, and the Warden is immune to all forms of CC

Return to Table of ContentsShadow-Lord Iskar Encounter MechanicsEye of AnzuOcchio di AnzuOcchio di Anzu

While the Occhio di Anzu is not currently possessed by a player, it will damage the entire raid with Radiosità Incontrollata

A player holding the Occhio di Anzu has an ExtraActionButton available to them, and their screen will be tinted green

Holding the Occhio di Anzu gives the player stacks of Radiosità di Anzu, which will eventually become too powerful to heal through

Players can throw the Occhio di Anzu to another player by using the ExtraActionButton

This action is off the GCD and does not interrupt spellcasting

Once a player has thrown the Occhio di Anzu, stacks of Radiosità di Anzu will fall off over 20 seconds

Occhio di AnzuOcchio di AnzuReturn to Table of ContentsPhase 1: GroundedVenti IllusoriFerite IllusorieOcchio di AnzuVenti Illusori

The winds grow more forceful the longer the player is affected by the Venti Illusori debuff, and may eventually push players off the edge of the platform

Players may cast while being pushed back, but running against the winds counts as movement and will interrupt any spells that cannot be cast while moving

If a player with Venti Illusori receives the Occhio di Anzu, the Venti Illusori are dispelled and the player will no longer be forced to move

The raid must quickly throw the Occhio di Anzu to each player with the Venti Illusori debuff

Prioritize tanks, then healers, then melee DPS, then ranged DPS

While waiting for the Occhio di Anzu to be passed to you, run against the wind, and use movement speed-increasing effects when the winds get stronger

Ferite Illusorie

Ferite Illusorie can be removed by healing the player above 90% health

Or, Ferite Illusorie can be removed by throwing the Occhio di Anzu to the affected player

Whether to throw the Eye or to heal through the Ferite Illusorie debuff depends on factors like the healers' mana pool and whether the affected player is heavily damaged

Ferite IllusorieFerite IllusorieFerite IllusorieOcchio di Anzu

If healer mana is low, use the Occhio di Anzu to clear Ferite Illusorie

If a player with Ferite Illusorie is targeted for Vilchakram, use the Occhio di Anzu to clear Ferite Illusorie

If the raid has just suffered heavy raid damage from a bungled Vilchakram cast, use the Occhio di Anzu to clear Ferite Illusorie

Occhio di AnzuVilchakramVilincenerimentoVilchakram

Any player struck by the Vilchakram - whether they were marked or not - will take heavy damage

Being struck by the Vilchakram also causes an explosion centered on the player, dealing damage to the entire raid based upon each player's distance from the struck player

The Chakram will seek out the ranged DPS/healer target first, then the melee target, then the tank target, before returning to Iskar

Before beginning the encounter, set out three world raid markers along one side of the room, at least 20 yards apart

Assign the tanks to one marker, the melee DPS to the second, and the ranged/healers to the third marker

Players affected by Vilchakram should run to the marker that matches their role, and stay there until all Chakram damage has been dealt

The rest of the raid should position themselves so they will not be in the path of the Vilchakram

For example, if the markers are set up to the right of the boss, the raid should be loosely clumped to the left of the boss

VilchakramVilincenerimentoBersaglio del VilraggioVilfuoco

Targeted players must quickly move out of the raid to avoid dropping Vilfuoco on top of other players

Kite the Vilincenerimento beam in the opposite direction of the Vilchakram locations

This will ensure that players running out to deal with Vilchakram will not take excessive Vilfuoco damage

If Vilfuoco spawns too near the raid, the raid should reposition so they are standing in a clear area

Phase 2: Shadow EscapeFuga d'Ombra

While Iskar is airborne, he will channel a very powerful Esplosione Concentrata spell

At the end of the cast, he will face the player currently holding the Occhio di Anzu and cast the Esplosione Concentrata in their direction

Damage from Esplosione Concentrata is split amongst all players standing in the Esplosione Concentrata's path

The raid should stack up near the Occhio di Anzu holder as the Esplosione Concentrata cast is finishing

Damage-reduction cooldowns like Totem del Collegamento Spirituale or Parola del Potere: Barriera should be used to mitigate the Esplosione Concentrata damage

Iskar will cast this spell twice during the phase

Esiliato Illusorio

The Corrupted Talonpriest casts Annientamento Illusorio, debuffing five players with Vilbomba Illusoria

These Bombs will detonate after 5 seconds, dealing very heavy damage to players within 8 yards

If a healer is holding the Occhio di Anzu, they can see that one of these five players also has a Vilbomba debuff

The healer holding the Occhio di Anzu can dispel the player with Vilbomba, and this will remove ALL Vilbomba Illusoria effects

Healers should take turns dispelling Vilbomba since holding the Occhio di Anzu will debuff them with Radiosità di Anzu

Illusionary Outcasts have no abilities other than melee attacks

Occhio di AnzuAnnientamento IllusorioOcchio di AnzuVenti IllusoriAnnientamento IllusorioOcchio di AnzuVilbombaOcchio di AnzuVenti IllusoriVilbombaFuga d'Ombra

Shadowfel Warden will frequently cast Vilconduzione

If this cast is successful, the Warden will continually cast Vilcatena di Fulmini until the Vilconduzione effect expires

Vilcatena di Fulmini deals very high, random raid damage, and is likely to be fatal

Vilconduzione can only be interrupted by a player holding the Occhio di Anzu

VilconduzioneOcchio di AnzuVilconduzioneVilbombaFuga d'Ombra

Fel Raven will debuff a tank with Corruzione Illusoria

The affected tank will pulse Nova Illusoria damage to players within 10 yards every 2 seconds

Each time a player is damaged by Nova Illusoria, they gain a stack of Cremazione Illusoria, increasing the damage they take from subsequent Nova Illusorias

Holding the Occhio di Anzu prevents the Fel Raven from applying the Corruzione Illusoria debuff to that target

The Fel Raven casts Corruzione Illusoria at the same time that the Shadowfel Warden casts Vilconduzione

Therefore, the Fel Raven tank should be given the task of interrupting the Vilconduzione cast, and while doing so, will naturally be immune to Corruzione Illusoria

If a Corruzione Illusoria is successfully applied, the tank must run away from the raid and use a survivability cooldown when the Nova Illusoria damage is high

Dispel Vilbomba

Start over from the top, repeat until all adds are dead

Note:VilconduzioneOcchio di AnzuRadiosità di Anzu

Before beginning the encounter, set up three world markers for Vilchakram (tank, melee, and ranged) positions

Tank Anzu near the middle of the room to minimize risk of Venti Illusori pushing players off the platform

Kite the Vilincenerimento beams to the opposite side of the room from the Vilchakram positions

Throw the Occhio di Anzu to players affected by Venti Illusori; prioritize tanks, then healers, then melee DPS, then ranged DPS

If necessary, throw the Occhio di Anzu to players affected by Ferite Illusorie

Adds phases occur when Shadow-Lord Iskar reaches 80%, 55%, and 30% health

During adds phases, prioritize DPS on the Corrupted Talonpriest, then the Shadowfel Warden (if present), then the Fel Raven (if present), then any Illusionary Outcasts

Tanks must have the Occhio di Anzu to interrupt the Shadowfel Warden's Vilconduzione and avoid the Fel Raven's Corruzione Illusoria

Healers must have the Occhio di Anzu to dispel Vilbomba after the Corrupted Talonpriest casts Annientamento Illusorio

See the table, right, for the Occhio di Anzu movement during adds phases

The raid should loosely stack for healing as Iskar casts Esplosione Concentrata

Return to Table of ContentsTank Responsibilities

Ensure you can see your raid frames, including important debuffs like Venti Illusori, and that you can see, or have a keybind for, your ExtraActionButton

Taunt Shadow-Lord Iskar when your co-tank is affected by Vilchakram

Run Vilchakram to the designated location

If you are targeted with Venti Illusori, and receive the Occhio di Anzu, be sure to throw it to another player with Venti Illusori immediately

When Iskar flies away, pick up the adds

During the second and third adds phases, interrupt the Shadowfel Warden's Vilconduzione while holding the Occhio di Anzu

After interrupting, throw the Occhio di Anzu to a healer

During the third adds phase, the tank who is tanking the Fel Raven must be the one to interrupt the Shadowfel Warden's Vilconduzione

Damage-Dealer Responsibilities

Ensure you can see your raid frames, including important debuffs like Venti Illusori, and that you can see, or have a keybind for, your ExtraActionButton

When targeted by Vilchakram, run to the designated location until the debuff wears off and the Chakram has struck you

If you are targeted with Venti Illusori, and receive the Occhio di Anzu, be sure to throw it to another player with Venti Illusori immediately

If you are targeted by Bersaglio del Vilraggio, kite the Vilincenerimento beam away from the raid

During adds phases, prioritize the Corrupted Talonpriest add above all others, and allow passive cleave/AoE to kill the Illusionary Outcasts

Healer Responsibilities

Ensure you can see your raid frames, including important debuffs like Venti Illusori, and that you can see, or have a keybind for, your ExtraActionButton

Players with Vilchakram, Ferite Illusorie, and Vilincenerimento/Vilfuoco debuffs need healer attention

If you are targeted with Venti Illusori, and receive the Occhio di Anzu, be sure to throw it to another player with Venti Illusori immediately

When targeted by Vilchakram, run to the designated location until the debuff wears off and the Chakram has struck you

If you are targeted by Bersaglio del Vilraggio, kite the Vilincenerimento beam away from the raid

During the adds phases, if you have the Occhio di Anzu, dispel the player with the Vilbomba debuff

After dispelling, throw the Occhio di Anzu back to the tank

Use raid CDs for Esplosione Concentratas during the adds phases, and for clean-up of raid damage from Vilchakram during the Iskar phases

Replica d'Ombra occurs approximately every 30 seconds

Replica d'Ombra also deals heavy damage to the affected player

The Occhio di Anzu will reappear near the player who was originally holding it

The Occhio di Anzu will immediately begin to channel Radiosità Incontrollata

Another player must pick up the Occhio di Anzu to continue using its power

Radiosità IncontrollataRisonanza Ectoplasmica

The Phantasmal Resonance will cast Catene della Disperazione, afflicting six players in the raid with Vincoli Oscuri

This ability creates three sets of "partners", but players cannot see who their Catene della Disperazione partner is unless they are holding the Occhio di Anzu

To clear the Vincoli Oscuri, players must run to their partner, and overlap their Vincoli Oscuri circles

If two non-partnered players overlap their Vincoli Oscuri circles, they will trigger Speranza Perduta and likely will die

If either player in the partnership dies before clearing Vincoli Oscuri, the surviving partner will take Speranza Perduta damage

Finally, if Vincoli Oscuri expires naturally, the affected player takes Speranza Perduta damage

@Dayani: Does the Eye have a minimum/maximum range?

Commento di Horsekebab

If Occhio di Anzu only suppresses Nova Illusoria, the tank should run out of the raid if there are other more important mechanics that require the Eye to be handled.

If Occhio di Anzu removes the debuff entirely, the tank can fairly safely stay put, assuming the raid is able to hand the Eye to him/her in less than 4 seconds (before third tick). Surviving two ticks is fine, even three if people are prepared for it.

I am more inclined to believe that the Eye does in fact remove the debuff. Firstly, it has been described to prevent the application of the debuff altogether (which would be the case if the Eye cancels it), and secondly, spell effect #11 of Occhio di Anzu is "Cancel Aura: Corruzione Illusoria".

Commento di Dayani

6/26 - Updated the health thresholds for phase changes. Iskar now casts Shadow Escape and summons adds at 70%, 45%, and 20% health.

Commento di 1439555

In case anyone is having problems with phase 2 on normal difficulty, like the healers dispelling the debuff and then passing back to the melee in time to interrupt fel conduit, a much easier way to do it is to have ALL of the fel bomb targets run to the edges of the room away from everyone else and spread out, let the debuff drop, and go back in. This requires no dispelling at all and does minimal damage if they are spread out correctly. this way the melee can hold the eye and pass between each other to interrupt the conduit when necessary.

Did this on normal and was so insanely easy. I have no idea if this strategy will continue to work for heroic.

Commento di GeckoKid

Having done HC and normal so far, I'm inclined to believe that the Phantasmal Winds' speed ramp up a lot quicker on heroic, as we had a few more incidents where members of the raid falling off the platform when executing the same tactic we did on normal. Just something to note I guess, to be a lot quicker on throwing the Eye in HC.

Commento di Guyon

Just nuke the Phantasmal Resonance and skip the whole hard part :-)
