Lord Kazzak should Die

I know he is on a timer.... and other guilds know the time and we do not. I am sure if I can o my homework right I can figure it out even if I have to log in and out there until I do find out.

 

But in the mean time I found this on Lord Kazzak

 

First of all, his attacks:

 

 

? Melee

His melee attacks are pretty weak, no more than 1500 hits on cloth users.

 

 

? 'Shadowbolt Volley'

Shoots out an insanely long range volley of Shadowbolts that damage anything it can target in distance for 800-1000 damage. The volley totally ignores all line of sight issues: it cannot be dodged.

 

 

? Twisted Reflection

Casts a magical debuff (on a random player in range other than the player with aggro) that heals Lord Kazzak for 25,000 health each time he deals damage to the player with this debuff. This combined with the Shadowbolt Volley can ruin the attempt.

 

 

? Mark of Kazzak

Casts a curse (on a random player in range with mana) that drains the target's mana for 250 per second and explodes for 4,000 AOE damage when there is no more mana to drain. A living bomb.

 

 

? Cleave

Attacks a number of melee range players around him with a cleaving strike that deals 1000-2000 damage to each. Since a 'blind spot' has not been found, Cleave might be capped to a certain number of players affected.

 

 

? Thunderclap

A point blank area of effect spell, hardly dealing any damage, but slowing movement speed. Some have reported 200 damage, some say it doesn't deal damage at all. Doesn't seem to affect attacking speed either.

 

 

? Void Bolt

A strong bolt he may cast only on the player with aggro, deals up to 3000 shadow damage (or more!).

 

 

? Capture Soul

When a player, pet or totem gets killed, Lord Kazzak casts this spell to instantly regenerate 70,000 health.

 

 

 

Alright, now you know pretty well what you're fighting against. Here's how the battle itself works:

 

Once he is aggroed and the fight begins, you have no more than three (3) minutes to kill him. I'll explain later why. He starts off with everything he's got. He keeps meleeing the main tank while Cleaving once in a while for rogues swarming around him and keeps sending Shadowbolt Volleys to hurt everyone around. The volleys are not on a timer, instead he casts them as he sees fit. In some rare cases there's about 30 seconds between the casts, sometimes he does it every five seconds. In the meantime, he casts Twisted Reflection and the rarer Mark of Kazzak on random people.

 

What to do here:

 

Send your main tank in and let him build some aggro for a short while, just enough so he won't come at you the first time you cast something on him. Then unload. Have your DPS classes give him everything they have. Priests have to be extra mindful about the magical debuff he casts on your group. It has to be removed as soon as possible or the attempt will soon end in a disaster. Priests are also in charge of healing their groups thanks to that Shadowbolt Volley that keeps hitting everyone all the time. Mages need to be on top of the curse situtation. Mark of Kazzak can and will cause a wipe if you let it go off on you. Dispel the curse as soon as you can. All casters should also leave about 1000 mana in their mana pool just in case he casts the curse on you. That'll give the mages four seconds to dispel before it goes off. In other words, 1000 mana is out of mana in this raid encounter. Also, anyone dying during the fight is not an option. Unless it happens during the first five seconds of the fight, you've failed already. Do not use grounding totems, pets or other small things he can kill for the 70,000 health heal.

 

Your group will have exactly three minutes to finish the demon off. If you fail to kill him in that time due to lack of DPS, people dying or not dispelling Twisted Reflection properly, Lord Kazzak will enter what is called the supreme mode. Named after his yell once it triggers, the supreme mode causes him to cast his Shadowbolt every second. That's 800-1000 DPS on everyone, kids, and that means a wipe.

 

Good luck to anyone trying to take him down.

We've had a few FPs in a PUG led by Vehement take down Kazzak before... generally seen as a 30-man raid... he's easy... raiders just hv to keep their cool... high dps and some nice healing... he doesnt even seem like a worthy outdoor raidboss.

 

The thing is... most guilds know when they last killed an outdoor raid boss.. but most bosses hv a spawn-timer between 3-5 days so you cannot really plan ahead. This is to prevent major guilds monopolising the bosses.

His timer is random, there's no way to plan it. Only thing you can do is to have a lot of people keep alts there and log in as often as you can to check for him. Same goes for Azuregos and the 4 dragons.

So then randomly checking won't hurt in hopes we can organize and bring him down.
