The Demon Within

When Gul'dan reaches 10% health remaining, Archmage Khadgar attempts to return Illidan's soul to his dormant body. Unbeknownst to Khadgar a dark, outworldly presence was filling Illidan's mortal shell, and the consequences of Khadgar's actions incite deadly consequences... (Mythic)

Soulsever: Dives at his current target, striking for 13650000 to 14350000 Physical damage and creates several arcs of Shadow magic that travel outward. Each arc shears a soul fragment of any targets struck from their body, ejecting that piece into the playspace. This Sheared Soul absorbs all healing received until another player collects the piece.

Collecting the Sheared Soul inflicts 1187500 to 1312500 Shadow damage to targets within 2 yards, afflicting them with Severed, increasing damage taken by 900%.

Once the target regains their soul fragment, they are additional afflicted with Severed Soul, absorbing 7800000 to 8200000 Healing received.

Flame Crash: Leaps at the furthest target, striking all enemies inflicting (1187500 to 1312500 * 3) Fire damage, decreasing in damage as distance from the point of impact increases to a minimum of 1187500 to 1312500 Fire damage.

Parasitic Wound: A Parasitic Shadow Demon burrows its way through the target, dealing 1150000 Shadow damage every 2 sec for 10 sec. When the shadow demon is finished, it leaves the target and seeks new prey, inflicting 475000 to 525000 Shadow damage and knocking back players within 6 yards of the previous host.

Chaos Seed: Slashes twice, manifesting an orb of chaotic energy which explodes upon reaching its destination, inflicting 855000 to 945000 Chaos damage and an additional 166250 to 183750 Chaos damage every half-second for 6 sec to enemies within 8 yards of the impact location.

Nightorb spawn, which are protected by Nightshield. This can only be removed via Bulwark of Azzinoth, increases threat generated by 200% and decreases magic damage taken by 60%, and allows the wearer to bypass a Nightorb's Nightshield. The Nightorb cast Capricious Barrage, Fires a focused barrage of Nightwell energy at a target every 0.5 sec for 2 sec. When defeated, a Time Stop Field is created.

Visions of the Dark Titan: Ushers in a glimpse of the end of all things, instantly killing all enemies every second for 15 sec. Use the Time Stop Field left behind by killed Nightorb to protect the raid from instant-death.

Additional adds that spawn are Soul Fragment of Azzinoth, Demonic Essence, Purified Essence. The Purified Essences can cast Purified Essence, becomes Purified at upon reaching full health, instantly killing all players and applying Demonbane to all enemies.

Demonbane provides players with a stacking DPS buff - enemies have 50% increased damage. At 15:36 in the video you can see the players avoid several Purified Essence by staying in the Time Stop Field, and then have "super DPS."

Comment by Lezz2014Wow the damage in that fight. As a former raid healer it was emotional to watch. Congrats and salute.Comment by IceleafHmmh? I thought they removed all the possibilities for addons to show positions of players in-game rather than just /range list.
Like I see Tank and debuffed people being in "visible circles" there by addon perhaps?

R.I.P.Comment by KiayateoAnyone else getting that the video is no longer available?Comment by perculiaLooking into why the video is gone - it was tweeted first on the Exorsus account. Here is the explanation: https://twitter.com/ExorsusWoW/status/831912194023497734Comment by HighlanderBootsIt feels to me that the Mythic only phase of fighting a partially-summoned spirit of Sargeras in Illidan's body fits the end cinematic a tiny bit better than fighting Gul'dan, then having Illidan suddenly be out of the crystal to felsplode Gul'dan without any transition at all.

On another note: Illidan became the demon hunter by absorbing fel energy from original Gul'dan's skull (who absorbed it by exposure to the legion and using fel magic. Now he gets a whole other fel Titan soul moving in. It's like he's a fel turducken or something.
