Prince Malchezaar is the last fight in the Karazhan instance. This is a fight that involves endurance and a lot of luck. Here is how to do it.
Setting
First, you’ll want your entire raid to stand at the entrance just inside the gate. The tank will place you along the wall, just within 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 must deal ranged damage to him, even melee players. The prince has three phases. The first is the easiest to cure. During this phase, he attacks the tank with no weapons and casts internal summons that last for 180 seconds. They are stationary and do an area of effect, or AoE, spell that can be avoided. They cannot be killed. Wither is one of Prince Malchezaar’s other spells during phase one. Will reduce some of the raid members to 1 health over 8 seconds. If you are 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 in it. For this reason, the tank should be the only player around Prince Malchezaar when using 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 cuts, breaks armor, or weakens.
Hey willpower cast Shadow Word Pain, yet. He also uses flying axes that rotate randomly towards players in the raid and must be healed. It will summon boarders 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 phase.
