Prince Malchezaar Fights in the Karazhan Instance in World of Warcraft
Prince Malchezaar is the last fight in the Karazhan instance. This is a fight that involves endurance and a lot of luck. Here’s how to do it.
Setting
First, you’ll want your entire raid to stand at the entrance just inside the gate. The tank will position you along the wall, just inside the healing range, with your back to the wall. Have a hunter activate Track Elementals so the raid knows where the boss will land.
The fight
To start the fight, have a hunter Deflect Prince Malchezaar into the tank. Everyone should deal ranged damage, even melee players. The prince has three phases. The first is the easiest to cure. During this phase, he attacks the unarmed tank and casts internal summons that last 180 seconds. They are stationary and do an area of effect, or AoE, spell that can be avoided. They cannot be killed. Enfeeble is one of Prince Malchezaar’s other spells during phase one. Will reduce some of the raid members to 1 health for 8 seconds. If you get hit during this time, you will die. After it wears off, your health returns to where it was before the spell hit you.
Shadow Nova is another AoE that does 3000 damage to everyone on it. For this reason, the tank should be the only player around Prince Malchezaar when he uses Shadow Nova. He will use Shadow Word Pain on whoever is highest on the threat list. This does 1500 shadow damage per tick and cannot be reflected. However, it must be dispelled. During phase two, Prince Malchezaar hits harder but can be disarmed. In this phase, he switches to dueling and no longer casts Shadow Word Pain. He will cast Sunder Armor and Cleave during this phase. During phase three, Prince Malchezaar no longer slashes, breaks armor, or weakens.
Hears Will cast Shadow Word Pain, yet. He also uses flying axes that randomly spin towards players in the raid and need to be healed. He will summon interns at a much higher rate and deal damage to random people in the raid. Raid members will be able to kill Prince Malchezaar once he reaches this stage.
