[Karazhan] Prince Malchezaar
Prince Malchezaar Prince Malchezaar is a raid boss located at the very top of the Karazhan instance. Due to his location at the top of Karazhan, he is considered by many to be the tower's final boss. However, some used to consider the creature Nightbane to be the true final boss of Karazhan, due to his superior difficulty in the early days of the dungeon's release. Their comparative difficulty is now disputed. He can be encountered after the Chess Event.
Shadow Word: Pain - Cast periodically on his primary target. Can be dispelled. Cannot be reflected. 1500 damage per tick. During phase 3 he will start casting it on random targets. Thrash - Gains 2 additional attacks against current target. Malchezaar uses this ability somewhat randomly, with a few seconds to up to a few dozen seconds between each use. Flying Axes - During Phase 3, he unleashes his axes as a separate attacking entity. They deal physical damage and appear to have Demonic Frenzy as they start out hitting each new target for only about 400 on cloth, while ramping up to 2000 a hit. Tactics: (Courtesy of multiple sources until Hestocklem writes his version. Further enhancements will be taken from your replies.) Phase 1 When Malchezaar is agro’ed our MT will pull position his back to the wall allowing the Prince’s back to be in view of the raid. He will enfeeble 5 random people excluding whoever has his agro for 7 seconds, brining their max health to 1 and can not be healed, anyone afflicted by enfeeble should immediately stop what they are doing and run away. Malchezaar will cast a 3 second long cast, Shadow Nova right after; it hits for about 3500 shadow damage and has a knock back effect. After the enfeeble wears off the player’s health will return to normal. At 60% health phase 2 begins. Phase 2 Malchezaar will dual wield his axes and greatly increase his melee damage. In this phase he gets a melee boost, he can now cleave and use sunder armor against the MT. At 30% health phase 3 will begin. Phase 3 He will discontinue using Enfeeble and throw his axes, they will float around attacking players at random, and can deal damage quickly. Healers will need to watch everyone in this phase not just the MT. Our Role: Information will be taken from your replies...

Re: [Karazhan] Prince Malchezaar
Our role is dead simple on this fight: we DPS the boss and mind the infernal's AoEs. In other words, there's no difference in this fight compared to other ranged DPS. The warlock in the MT group just needs to park his imp close to the MT/Boss at the start of the fight to that he can still get the stamina buff even if you have to relocate during the fight to avoid AoEq. The tricky part is that sucess is partly based on pure luck (or lack thereof): sometimes abysals pop zones will result in raid wipes and there's nothing you can do about it. It's worth it though: just look at the loot table: the best one hand up to SSC where you get the Leviathan sword if you're lucky, one of the best cape out there and of course one of our T4 piece. |

Re: [Karazhan] Prince Malchezaar
Yeah, not a hard fight, needs decent DPS and a good deal of luck. You can spot an infernal landing and roughly see where it will land. Also the animation of Infernals hellfire is larger then the damage range of it, just don't stand on the charred ground around the infernals.

Re: [Karazhan] Prince Malchezaar
easy warlock fight. DPS boss, keep at max range to avoid enfeeble. have one of the ranged healers stand at "safe ground" pray for good fortune with regard to the infernals and where they land. have one of the ranged call the landing position more DPS on boss make sure healers know about it if the axes in phase 3 are targeting you loot the dagger and helm if you can |

Re: [Karazhan] Prince Malchezaar
Dagger, helm AND drape. The latter is really worth "need"ing. |

Re: [Karazhan] Prince Malchezaar
We got to the Prince for the first time last night and downed him on the 2nd try, once our MT got the feel of moving away from the infernals. Extremely easy fight for ranged and warlocks, just dot, dps, and make sure you're not in range of any infernal aoe or shadow nova when enfeebled. However, as good as his loot table is for us locks, do you think he was nice enough to drop the dagger, helm, drape, or even necklace (two months in Kara and still no Rittysyn's <sigh>) for me? Noooo.......!

Re: [Karazhan] Prince Malchezaar
A huge thankyou to Minidevil of the guild White Eagles (server unsure) for shooting me through an email and letting me know of their youtube.com videos of Karazhan bosses! I'm always interested in the fights from a Warlock's perspective!  Quote:

Re: [Karazhan] Prince Malchezaar
Don't forget to cast Sense Demons. (You can see the Infernals parked on the minimap)

Re: [Karazhan] Prince Malchezaar
enfeeble is about 20-25 yards reach. if you stay at atleast 30 yards it will be no problem for casters and you can continue dps while being enfeebled ;) |

Re: [Karazhan] Prince Malchezaar
We did it this past week by keeping us and the Prince positioned just right. If you go into the spot where the fight is, and walk along the back wall to the left of the door, you'll find a floor tile that's a little more blue than the rest of the tiles. All the ranged DPS and healers stand on that tile. Then, the MT goes and tanks the prince another 15 yards up that wall, where there's an indentation in it. With his back in that indentation, the knockback has no real effect. The trick is, that blue tile is "safe". No infernals ever landed there. I got enfeebled a few times, but just kept on dpsing and didn't have to worry. The melee DPSers have a bit of a harder time if enfeebled, they've got to run away. But if you keep the Prince tanked in place and your dps/heal on the safe spot, you're good. I didn't actually get to see the fight. I was stuck underneath a druid in treeform the whole time. I just DPSed my heart out, and remembered to soulshatter the first time I got above 90% threat. We downed the prince, first try, with a group made up of some newbies, and only two of whom had even made an attempt on the Prince before. So, it's pretty good. |
