  • Wind Burst - Deals 30K nature damage to all enemies knocking them back, 5 second cast
  • Lightning Strike - Deals 20K nature damage in a cone to a random enemy every second for 30 seconds, chains off all enemies dealing 20K damage to them
  • Squall Line - Creates a wall of tornadoes that does 40K damage per second to all that touch it.   There is an opening to avoid being hit

Phase 2: (30%)

  • Electrocute, Static Shock, Squall Line remain
  • Acid Rain - Deals 500 Nature damage per second to all enemies, increases by 500 every 15 seconds until phase ends.
  • Stormling - Summons an add which has an aura which deals 2.5K nature damage per second to all within 20 yards, if killed applies Feedback on Al'Akir

Phase 3:

  • Chain Lightning - Deals 15K nature damage to random target and chains to nearby enemies with each jump increasing in damage by 30%
  • Lightning Rod - Causes random target to emit lightning to all nearby allies after 5 seconds dealing 5K nature damage per second for 5 seconds.   Range is 20 yards horizontally, 5 yards vertically
  • Lightning Cloud - Summons cloud on random enemy, after 5 seconds starts dealing 50K nature damage per second to all enemies at the same altitude, lasts 30 seconds.
  • Wind Burst - Deals 40K nature damage to all enemies knocking them back

 

Notes:

Phase 1 (80%):

  • It's the dodge everything that can kill you phase
  • Ice patches to not stand in
  • Chain Lightning (Lightning Strike) to spread out for
  • And try to stay in melee range as much as possible cause Wind Burst will knock you back and off the platform otherwise.  You won't die, but it takes a few seconds to get back into the fight
  • Can outrange the Static Shock if you wanna run out for those timers (but get back in for Wind Burst)
  • Squall Line is a wall of tornados that spawn and circle the platform doing damage and throwing people around if you get caught in it.  But there's always a hole in the wall where you can run through / let it pass by
  • Heroic: There'll be 2 Squall Lines, and the Lightning Strikes persists in an area so get out and stand elsewhere.

Phase 2 (30%):

  • Burn phase
  • Acid Rain is a bit of a soft enrage, doing more damage over time so kill fast or the healers won't keep up
  • Squall Line still exists so keep dodging those
  • Can group up again, no longer have the chain lightnings or the knockbacks
  • Think of Stormling adds like Malygos sparks, if they die they increase your dps for about 20 seconds (by putting debuff on boss).
  • So if you save up 2-3 or maybe even 4 of them then kill them all at once, you get your massive dps bonus
  • Except they also do a damaging nature aura to all around, so as long as you don't get overwhelmed by that
  • Heroic:  Stormling aura also does a increase nature damage taken by 25% so likely don't want to keep any up too long

Phase 3 (0%):

  • Flight phase, platform breaks, you get to fly like in Kael'thas fight
  • Don't go too far, and don't get too close to the boss, or you get thrown around
  • Spread out, Chain Lightning is back, and there's Lightning Rod you are the bomb debuff
  • Wind Burst is back too, so get in close for that
  • For Lightning Clouds you appear to just move up or down if they appear on the same altitude as you do
