Any of you guys that have done this Boss have any tricks or suggestions that are perhaps not in the guides, keeps smashing me (warr) and my Pally tank mate.

Which wasn't quite as bad as our poor mage who he critted for 41k :eek:
 
Abilities used
-------------
Phase 1 - Single Creature, no totems

* Frenzy — Increases Attack Speed. Can be Tranquilized.
* Saber Lash — Deals 12,000-18,000 damage (on geared tanks) split between two targets.

Phase 2 - Two Spirits, totems (75%, 50%, and 25% health)

* The single creature Halazzi deals 4K damage to the entire raid and splits into a troll spirit and Spirit of the Lynx.
* Phase 2 ends when either spirit reaches 20% health.
* Corrupted Lightning Totem — 5000 Nature damage, chains to nearby targets. Is cast frequently.
* Flame Shock — 5000 Fire base with a 4K tick. Dispellable.
* Earth Shock — 4000 to 5000 Nature damage, interrupts any school being cast for 3 seconds.

Phase 3 - Single Creature, totems (<25% health)

* Enrage — Increased melee damage.
* Totems, as in Phase 2.


The most important part is that in phase 1 & 3 ( ie when he is not split ) the tanks must be standing on top of one another to split the Saber Lash . The best tanks for this are either Feral Druids or Prot War's. Dodge is king here as well as HP pool.

Normally we get the Prot War to tank him. I as the feral normally just stand on top of the Prot war to split the Saber lash and then pickup the spirit when it spawns. I try and pace my agro with the prot war so that if he starts getting panelled I can taunt the boss off him onto me for a short while and when he recovers he taunts back. Had a hunter to remove frenzy . Makes life easy.

The easiest way we have found to do the pull. If you are at the enterance go round to the left and then go diagonally towards the boss so that you tank him between the pillars to the left of the room. The rest of the raid spreads out behind him.
 
Great thanks we haven't tried swopping aggro that might help when one takes a big hit.

Also struggling to split damage maybe we need to be closer, as on top of each other, as the log showed hits of +-18k
 
We use a prot pally and prot warrior here. We have done it sucsessfull with either as MT. But like said there can be some nasty burst damage!
I can concur that tranq shot is really usefull.

If you are not on top of each other then it wont work. That is why you are being hit for 18K
 
Melee DPS needs to be quick on the totems is pretty much the only advice I can give you.
 
Halazzi

Abilities
No Crushing Blows.
The fight consists of 3 phases that alternate between each other roughly every 25% and slightly changing again at 25%.

Phase 1

Mostly a tank and spank phase with the tanks just needing to make sure they are on top of eachother to split Saberlash. Periodically Halazzi will get a buff that will increase his attack speed (Frenzy).

Saberlash (12k damage split between 2 targets) - The Saber Lash is exactly like Mother Shahraz's but requires only 2 tanks to be on top of eachother.
Frenzy — Increases Attack Speed. Can be Tranquilized.

Phase 2

Phase 2 starts when the merged form of Halazzi is brought down to roughly 75%, 50% and 25%. Every time during the transition he will do a 4k AE to everyone and will stop saberlashing.

Keep the MT on Halazzi, and have the other tank pick up the Spirit Lynx. During this phase have all DPS on either the boss or the lynx. You should decide this before the fight so there will be no confusion, the lynx has about 10% less health, but the tank won't have maximum threat on it so you'll need to wait longer before nuking it. Halazzi on the otherhand only needs to be brought to 20% health to end the phase, unlike the Spirit of the Lynx that must be brought to 0%.

Halazzi will drop totems during this phase, all of which can be ignored, other than the Corrupted Lightning Totems. Make sure to have someone call out when they see a Corrupted Lightning Totem planted, and have ALL of your DPS switch to it as soon as possible. When it is destroyed, resume DPS on your determined target. Be sure to dispel magic from any who get the Flame Shock debuff.

The boss will switch back to Phase 1 when the Spirit Lynx reaches 0% or troll reach 20% health.

Phase 3

Phase 3 starts at 25% when Halazzi is back in his merged form. This phase is no different than phase 1 other than the fact he now drops totems all the time and starts enraging and doing more damage.

Pretty much the same as Gary's tactics...

All i'll say is having a hunter there is essential, if you dont have 1, get 1, otherwise move onto another boss
 
First time I tanked him we had no hunter unfortunately, but I did use my trinkets whenever he frenzied. That's the only real "burst" damage you'll find when he's on his own, when he's split the only trouble is the lightning totems, and dispelling the flame shocks.

Good luck getting him down :)
 
Many thanks guys will have another crack, probably tomorrow!
