The last of the 4 Animal bosses in ZA.

Kommentar von 98873

(Copied from Elitist Jerks)

This boss has a tiny amount of hp, roughly 600k. This is a 2 phase encounter that rotates (similar to Nightbane) every 25%.

Phase 1 -
He hits quite hard and also does a Mother Shahraz type of ability like Saber Lash that if it hits more than 1 person the damage received by each person is much less than if it were to hit only 1. Once you get him to 75 % he will go into phase 2.

Phase 2 -
During this phase he will transform back into his Shaman form and spawn a Spirit of the Lynx that has approx 200k hp. Also during this phase he will drop a nasty totem known as: Corrupted Lightning Totem that does chain lightning for approx 5k, maybe some nat res is not a bad idea, but not a necessity. The last ability of this phase is a Flame Shock that he will do randomly to 1 target.

Basically tank and spank in phase 1. When phase 2 occurs, 1 tank stays on the Shaman and the other tank takes the Spirit. You need to dps down the Spirit as fast as possible so you will not stay in phase 2, too long because of the nasty totems.

Kill the totems when they spawn (similar to Tidvalas during the Fathom Lord Karathress encounter in SSC), cleanse people if needed. Rinse and repeat till dead.

SaberLash's damage currently is more than posted here. Last night our tank was hit by it for 18k+ when the off tank wasn't in position. Even when they were both in position it hit for roughly 7500 on each target. (after mitigation)

Can anyone confirm if Saberlash is bugged? Our off tank says he was in position and the tank was still taking 100% of the damage from it sometimes rather than it splitting as desgined. I think our second group in ZA said the same thing.

Also, can anyone confirm my suspicion that Flame Shock also has an Earth Shock like ability to interrupt spell casting and lock out that school for 2 seconds? That seemed to be the case when we fought him, but I've read nowhere that it should have an interrupt mechanic.

Points of clarification--

1) Saber Lash is split between just two targets (logically the tank and the offtank). Since Halazzi does NOT do crushing blows, a feral druid is logically the best choice for main tank against this boss. They have the best chance of surviving a single-target Saber Lash do to their high health and armor if the OT doesn't get in position in time.

2) You do not kill the Spirit of the Lynx as at 10% Halazzi recalls it and continues fighting. You do want to burn it down as quickly as possible, however, when there aren't any totems up.

3) Halazzi has a 10-minute enrage timer. If he is very close to death, a raid can possibly still kill him if sufficiently spread out.

Kommentar von 23646

After killing him for the first time tonight I have this to suggest:

Don't kill the Spirit Of the Lynx, keep the DPS on Halazzi. This is the "test" of your DPS.

Since you'll be dealing with the Corrupted Lightning Totems as well as the Spirit of the Lynx with the boss, you have to keep Phase 2 as your "quick phase".

Burning Halazzi down to 20% will start up Phase 1 again.

During Phase 1 when there is only one target, the healing is a lot more intense, this should be the endurance portion of the battle. While this phase shouldn't last forever, you can give your DPS a bit more leeway

Have Mages and Shadow Priests Wand to regen Mana for Phase 2 as they will probably be on Totem and Cleanse Patrol.

During Phase 2 the healing "slows down" as you don't have to worry about Frenzy and Saberslash. If totems aren't dealt with quickly, they can take people out or at least give your healers a bit more work to do.

Have your DPS who have good burst damage be on Totem Duty. Have them create a simple target macro:

/target Corrupted

Or "/tar Corr" if they're lazy...

If you tank Halazzi right at the bottom of the "Green Square", you can have your healers spread out behind the tanks so they won't get hit by Chain Lighting too often.

We also found that by letting our ranged DPS stand at the far North end of the room (by the gong), and have them run behind a pillar and bandage, they could keep themselves up without having to be healed.

To sum up:

Phase 1 - Intense Healing on MT.

Phase 2 - Spread-Out Healing while focusing on MT.

Good luck.

HP:
Halazzi - 600k HP (150k per phase)

Shaman Form - 240k HP
Spirit of the Lynx - 200k HP
Corrupted Lightning Totem(s) - ~9k

Phase 1 Abilities
Abilities -
Saber Lash: Hits the Tank & 1 other person standing in front of Halazzi (5yd range), Aggro is not a factor for the offtank, just positioning. Saber Lash hits a 17k armor Prot Warrior for ~8.5k .
Frenzy - Greatly increases attack speed, Tranquilizing Shot-able.

Phase 2 Abilities
Corrupted Lightning Totem: Casts a Chain Lightning that does about 2k per person. (2 sec cast).
Flame Shock: 20-25yd Range, Random target, 4.5k Initial hit, 3k tick, Dispellable
Earth Shock: 20-25yd Range, Random target, 4.5k dmg, interrupts casting.
Flame Shock & Earth Shock do not share the same CD

Spirit of the Lynx - Bestial Wrath's periodically when within ~25 yds of Halazzi (Still doesn't do much damage).

Explanation
There are 3 phases. They are defined by Halazzi's HP %.
The first "Phase 1" ends when Halazzi gets to 75%.
The first "Phase 2" ends when either the: Spirit of the Lynx gets to 10% or Halazzi's Shaman form gets to 20%.
Then Halazzi will reappear with 75% HP and you repeat this till he reaches 25%, then he goes into phase 3.
Phase 3 is just like Phase 1 except Halazzi will continue to drop "Corrrupted Lightning Totem."

Phase 1:
Key: Keep both tanks alive. Make sure the tanks are DIRECTLY on top of eachother, not infront or behind or to the side.
(Tauren range is an issue with this, if the MT is tauren and OT isn't then the OT must move slightly infront of the MT)

2 Tanks take the Saber Lash (~8.5k dmg each, ~5sec cooldown). Considerable healing is required. Tranq shot Frenzy, if possible.

Phase 2:
Key: Kill "Corrupted Lightning Totem" quickly

DPS Macro
/target corrupted

1 Tank stays on Halazzi, the Offtank picks up "Spirit of the Lynx" (spawns right next to him).
DPS Order in this phase is: "Corrupted Lightning Totem" -> Halazzi
Once Halazzi is at 20% the 2 will combine and Phase 1 starts again.

Healing notes: The raid will take a decent amount of damage in phase 2 but neither of the tanks get hit too hard, Dispel Flame Shock, make sure everyone has enough HP to live through an earth shock or flame shock (4.5k). Outrange the earthshock/flameshock if you can.

Kommentar von 29689

I've read so many conflicting reports (even from the posts above) on who to burn down in phase 2. Some say Troll some say Lynx...does it really matter?
I've had good results burning down the Troll and keeping the Lynx offtanked...I'm told the Lynx has less health though which would mean less time in phase 2 less totems etc...

Is it really a matter of preference or is there an advantage to killing one over the other?

Kommentar von Phelia

The Frenzy can be removed with Tranquilizing Shot.

Kommentar von Nymrohd

We killed him quite smoothly by keeping all dps on the troll on both phases. And the troll seemed to go down far faster than the lynx did for us in phase 2. We were physical damage heavy (Rogue, Fury warrior, hunter) so maybe the troll has a lot less armor than the lynx? Otherwise it must be the troll with the smaller healthpool.
Also bringing a hunter really helped us down him, he sometimes did two saberlashes right on top of each other during frenzy, plus the misdirection helped a lot with sending the spirit of the lynx to the offtank and not running to chew on a squishy.

Kommentar von 16861

as you enter this bosses chamber you will find that there is a large urn in the corner on the right hand side when facing the boss, if you change the camera angle to look inside it you will find a bag which contains an additional loot reward, we have gotten 3 rings up to now so i guess its a different ring each time.

Kommentar von 100774

9 million health ......WOW!!!!! more then illidan.

Kommentar von 35454

The "Earth Shock" ability needs to be listed up there.

It catches many people by surprise. Hits for about 3,000 to 4,500 nature damage. Can easily kill people when it takes them by surprise

Kommentar von fluxie

i can only say it from our own fights, with a 18k armor warrior, and the offtank wassent close enough he got hit for 19679, very deadly (healed with my paladin)

as in split phase the choise should be on halazzi, tested it and he dies faster then the spirit cat

as for tanks amplify magic is a good ide, make it easier too keep em up, im a feral druid and survived an frenzy, when our hunter was dead, with the bonus to healing effects, and in the second phase tanks have enough health for shocks and totem, so they are not needed too remove amplify magic

Earth Shock is an ability he use, and it (from my experience) does not share cd with flame shock, had a mage get hit by flame shock, corrupt totem and earth shock all with in 1 second, took 11k dmg

Phase 3:

Remember in the last 25%, its not the same phase 1, he puts up totems and shocks the raid, dont slack off on heals and DPS. Burn him down fast or you'll wipe.

Kommentar von 76114

I went posting on the official forums regarding Saber Lash ignoring one of the tanks despite positioning and was told that the ability can bug against Tauren models. The proposed workaround was to use a shapeshifting ability like Savory Deviate Delight, which seemed to do the trick.

Also, it should be stated that Halazzi's Phase 1 lifebar is his "real" HP total. He has a separate lifebar for Phase 2 that starts at 100% each time the phase begins.

Kommentar von 88932

It's possible (at least for a druid tank) to solo tank both Halazzi and the Lynx spirit that spawns during phase two. Both targets are tauntable/can have bleeds (lacerate) applied to keep aggro on the Druid. I stacked Lacerates on both targets and mangled, and then pretty much Swiped continually, taking care to reapply bleeds and mangle or even taunt when necessary as one target was burned down, moving him into the next phase. We had a warrior tank and myself dual-tanking Halazzi to split the cleaves during our first couple of attempts (it took 4 tries to take him down at the end of the day), but eventually it was decided to experiment with a Druid tank with high dodge, hp and armor, and it turned out that it can actually allow the raid as a whole to focus more effectively. He dropped the leather healing chest which I received as part of my healing set :)

The strategies listed by others on this page are probably easier, but if you have solid focus heals and a strong Druid tank, you could consider this as an alternative. Our warrior slapped on his DPS gear instead and helped to take down totems, saving our healers a lot of grief during the more relaxed (as far as tanking is concerned) phase two of this fight.

Kommentar von 99997

I would like to make a few adjustments as of last night's intense wipeing has clarified some things.

In Normal Form (when the troll and lynx are combined, aka when you pick him up) the boss lists ~600k HP.
I can confirm that the saberlash is split among the 2 tanks (hits for 9k-10k damage on a 17k armor tank) even if one of the tanks miss/parry/dodges. If both tanks do it... well... it's quite nice.

The boss also does 2 normal hits (with Main Hand and Offhand) which hit for 3k-3.5k (MH) and 1.6k-2k (OH) on MT.

So the MT will not only get the saber lash but also the normal hits. In one second (if you are that unlucky) you can receive up to 15k damage. So high avoidance is a must (I as a pala tank lasted with 2 dedicated healers on me until he enraged in phase 3). I have ~21.5% dodge, 16.7% parry and 517 defense. I sometimes used a trinket to increase dodge by ~8%. It helped me a lot in tight spots.

In Phase 2, when the boss splits into Troll and Lynx, the Troll has ~245k HP (not 400k as listed above) and the Lynx has ~200k HP.

The difference is also that when the Troll reached 20% they merge (so you have to burn down ~200k hp) and when the Lynx reaches 10% they merge (so you have to burn ~180k).

The upside of focusing on the troll though is that the Corrupted totems always spawn near the troll and not the Lynx. So it's easier for DPS to switch from boss to Totem and back than from the Totem to the Lynx.

It was mentioned briefly in a post above, but it's worth repeating--you can outrange the corrupted lightning totems. If your group is having a hard time with the totems, try having Halazzi tanked near the entrance to his room with all ranged dps and healers in the back of the room by the gong. Then when he summons the lynx, have the offtank pick the lynx up and drag him the whole way back to the gong. From here, melee sticks to the lynx and range focuses on totems (dps the lynx when no totems are up). Then just have the off-tank take the lynx back to the main tank when he gets down near 30% hp so that the off-tank can absorb his half of the cleave (watch for totems at this point).

Doing this seems to make it so that only the tank on Halazzi is getting hit by the chain lightning, which is a heck of a lot easier to heal through than 4 people taking the damage.

Just stay at max dps/heal range during the lynx phase and your healers should have saved enough mana then to deal with healing through the totems from 25% to loot time.

*This may not be necessary and may be a waste of time for well-geared groups, but for those small, under-geared guilds out there--this should help significantly. This also answers the question as to who to dps: the lynx or Halazzi?

Kommentar von 120462

I came up with a great macro for mages in this fight.

/cast Frostbolt; Frostbolt

Simply make that macro and target halazzi and you will automatically attack the totem without switching targets.

All other casters can just change Frostbolt to whatever spell you plan on spamming.

Hope this helps!

Kommentar von Triden

As of 02/16/2008 he performs an instant cast spell named "Transfigure" when he switches from phase 1 to phase 2 that hits the raid for approximately 4250 nature damage (approximately 3750 on a prot warrior with the spell damage reduction talent). Confirmed that this does not occur when switching from phase 2 to phase 1. Rogues can Cloak of Shadows through it to avoid taking damage.

Kommentar von 87758

Saber Lash consist of 2 parts, every part doing around 6.5-7k damage on 30k armor. Every part CAN be dodged!
So Halazzi and hes spirit can be solo tanked by feral druid with 30k+ armor 55%+ dodge and around 20k HP buffed. Also I reccomend use same +dodge trinkets whe hes going frenzy if u don`t have a hunter in group.

Kommentar von 135653

i coudnt have not notice u put it at 8.900.000 hp
it has 600.000 hp and 3 split phases per 25% hp loss to 2 mobs 1 with 230.000 and 1 with 240.000 and when either split mob reach 20% halazzi will merge and return to his hp when he as split (450k 300k 150k) so in sub total if ur team focus on the 230.000 hp allways he has in total
600.000+230.000X3X0.8 = 1.152.000
isnt it abit presumptous to put a 10 man raid boss at an hp no raid boss including 25man has?

Kommentar von MMrrTT

If there's only one MT and he's got 17k armor, then he will receive ~8,5k damage or about 17k? In description of the ability it's written in does 12k damage - is it unmitigated, like base damage, which can be reduced by armor or smth? It's possible to block/dodge/parry Saber Lash?

Kommentar von 137604

6.6 mil. health??? thats like 6x the others

Kommentar von 136959

the key this fight is to have enough heals and Hunters got to do Tranq shot on him when he dose his frenzy and Dispell the Flame Shocks

Kommentar von 145840

He can be disarmed in both his forms. The key is to make your warrior time his disarm AFTER a Saber Lash. I personally have NEVER seen him do an saber lash while disarmed.

Seriously, Disarm HIGHLY cripples this boss, reduces dmg on MT, and thereby saves mana for the healers.

Kommentar von 134143

TOCKED CO.! EASIEST ZA BOSS EVA!

Two free badges and maybe some gear!

During this fight make sure the tanks stack up on each other to share the saber lash ability or you will die. When he summons the spirit of the lynx have the pally tank or MT pick it up as it is harder to tank than the boss... I have noticed he loves to resist taunt so have a hunter MD if needed. Just dps halazzi the whole fight the despawns the spirit of the lynx...

VERY IMPORTANT!!! HE SUMMONS A CHAIN LIGHTENING TOTEM ALL DPS ESPECCIALLY MELEE DPS MUST SWITCH DPS ONTO IT AND KILL IT! IT HAS 9K HEALTH WHICH IS EZ TO BURN BUT IT WILL KILL YOU IF YOU DO NOT KILL IT!!!

Just follow these simple instructions and you will get a few badges for 2min work!

Good luck... Excuse me I mean lucky you on the free badges

Kommentar von rhoark

Some people get confused by Halazzi's health bar. When he hits each 25% mark and switches forms, he appears to heal back up, but his humanoid form hp drops quickly, and he switches back when the humanoid form hp is around 25%. When he's back in lynx form, he once again displays his true hp.

Saber lash doesn't have an official cooldown, but I've never seen him do it anywhere close to back to back. So, while he can suddenly take off a big chuck of health with the lash, his unimpressive regular melee is not likely to back up that lash with enough damage to finish off a tank unless healers are under mana pressure. Having a hunter for tranq shot is definitely optional for a t5 tank.

Kommentar von 50427

i can confirm that he IS solo tankable. on the second shift at 50% my OT was wasted by a lighting, flame shock, and saber lash crit. we thought it was a wipe, but i grabbed both mobs and got overhealed by all the healers. to sum it up, i was finished off when he was at 3% and he died with two people still up.

we by no means out gear him, im a feral in full t4/badge gear. we do have za on farm, so we at least know what we were doing

Kommentar von 120730

He looks more like a hamster than a lynx imo.

Kommentar von Phounus

Just a quick note to all you progression raids out there:
If you're having trouble on this fight I really suggest switching a DPS to a healer. In my guild we do have ZA on farm but was doing a "boost run" to gear up some peeps. We had some major difficulties here and went down before 50% many times. I switched to my priest and gave us a minor healing boost and we took him down directly, without any problems at all.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Do not underestimate this guy. Nalorakk hits like a train, this guy hits like a warship (to quote one of my guildies).

There are several elements of this fight which make it difficult, besides his very fast and powerful hits.

1) Saberlash-It is vital to have two tanks on top of each other while tanking this boss. He does a 17.5k Saberlash which is split among whoever it hits, so both tanks must be in front of the boss. In accordance with this, it is vital to keep the OT above 60% health or he/she will get oneshotted by the 8k damage from this, meaning the Main Tank takes a 17.5k hit (which one shot me to be honest).

2) Halazzi enters Phase 2 at 75%, 50% and 25%. During Phase 2, he splits with his Lynx Spirit, which must be tanked by the Offtank. He also spawns Lighning Totems which MUST be DPS'd down as fast as possible. It is generally advisable to kill the Lynx asap, but destroy totems when they appear. Killing the Lynx causes the boss to return to Phase 1.

3) Flame Shock. A powerful DoT. Should be dispelled.

4) Frenzy-Increases the boss's damage. If your raid contains a Hunter, Tranquilising Shot can remove this. Helps alot.

5) In his final phase, from 25% to 0%, he spawns totems while in his normal form. These totems must be destroyed quickly.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Something my raid found out last night. When the warrior and druid tank stood on top of each other (as in character graphics overlapping), the damage did not split. Could be a bug.

Anyway, better to leave a bit of space between your MT and OT. Don't stack.

Kommentar von Thottbot

He is definitely Haleasy. The fight is ALL on the healers. If they keep the tanks up through Saberlash, then you will win, period.

There are some things that you should set up before the fight:

1. Have a hunter set to misdirect on the OT picking up the spirit of the lynx. Do this quick and the spirit will not go anywhere.

2. DPS burns the troll form. The main reason is you can see him casting Lightning Totem. This gives dps an extra second to hit their macro and begin casting. You also get the threat from the main form so DPS on him begins right away.

3. Tranq shot frenzy!

That's really it. Stack the tanks, tell your healers they are going to be busy, tell your dps to HS/pot after the AoE damage from the 25/50/75 splits and you will be good to go.

Kommentar von Thottbot

If you are having trouble picking up the Lynx, it helps to set up a macro with /target spirit. I noticed it will not let you target him fast enough when using Tab targeting, even when I'm facing Lynx and he's right in front of me. In fact, when using Tab targeting, it would not select him until it got all the way to a healer then it was GG. Using the macro was instant targeting. Clicking the Lynx works too if you have the skills for it. I just find it hard to do that fast enough.

Kommentar von Thottbot

A few comments after we got him last night.

Frenzy.
He may hit harder while frenzied, but he won't saber lash. So there might be more damage but my fellow healers and I agreed it was prefferable to the 'spiky' damage done when he was tranqued.

Totems.
Myself and the other holy paladin in the raid made a totem macro too:
#showtooltip holy shock
/target corrupted
/cast holy shock
The logic being if the dps kill the totem before we can get to it, the tank just gets slightly less efficient heal, but the faster the totem goes down, the less healing we have to do overall.

Troll/Lynx.
We had a fury warrior and a rogue among our dps, and the lower armor of the troll meant we had a lot more sucess burning him down than the lynx, despite the HP difference, reccomended for a raid heavy on melee dps.

Kommentar von Thottbot

We had a great run finally downing him as well as Jan'Alai and therefore finishing the Avatar-Bosses for the first time with timed loot of the fist one.

Too bad we did not have time to take a look at the Hexlord.

Our Group set-up:

Frost-Mage
Shadow Priest
Elemental Shaman
Survival Hunter
Combat Rogue

Holy Priest (OT/Group healer)
Resto Shaman (Group healer)
Holy Pally (MT healer)

Protection Pally (MT)
Feral Druid (OT/DD)

Anyway:
This Boss is a pain in the ass for all healers&Tanks.; I do like that Train/Warship comparison of the fist post. Very accurate ;-)

I was MTing being Pally Tank with 19.2k buffed health (*yikes* more than our druid 2nd Tank even though I'm not stamina stupid and did not socket +12 STAM in every spot). 22.2 Dodge, 18.6 Parry, 56.7 Block (with HS), 6.04 Miss + 5% Base Miss = 108.54% Avoidence & 17.8k Armor buffed... ok... he can not crush anyways, but high avoidence is the key to this fight! (Moroe's watch saved my ass there! If you use it from beginning on, it is mostly ready once he unites with the Lynx again and becomes dangerous with his Saber Lash.

There are a couple of important things:

1. on the Pull, both tanks should try and run to him together and no other person should be near them. He has a nasty habbit of sometimes starting of with his saber lash (20k damage split among the Tanks) right away and if a non tank player is near that he will die!

2. Tranquilizing shot!
The Hunter should be alart at all times (preferably MC expierienced) and shoot the tranquilizing shot once hHalazzy goes into frenzy. A badly timed frenzy&saber; lash that is not avoided can wipe the group!

3. Positioning
The OT should take over the Lynx near Halazzy himself so melee DDler can switch to the Lightning Totem fast, as this spawns always near Halazzi & the MT
Groupmembers should spread out well to avoid lots of group healing due to too many being hit by the totem.

4. Holy Nova
Before he splits, he will cast a 4k damage holy nova! Healers should make sure to have all members above 4k or are preferably topped off!

5. Decurse
Similar to the Maiden fight, the Flame debuff HAS to be decursed asap!

6. The fight is extremely Mana intensive for the healers, as the MT will need a lot of heal as well as the Group & occasionally the OT. Stack MP5 Equip, Mana-Oil, Food-Buffs, Pally's BoW on the healers and preferably have a shadow priest and/or resto shaman in their group!

It seems like a lot to remember, but it CAN become as much of a routine as any other boss once the groupmembers know their job and coordinate well.
