It also reduces your maximum Mana per stack, but also restores your Mana.

Healers can take a few seconds of this beam to help restore their Mana and increase their healing output. The banish phase of the fight is the most dangerous part of the fight.

Netherspite will keep attacking anyone nearby and periodically cast Netherbreath on a random enemy. Either spread out during the banish phase to prevent multiple people being hit by the breath, or out-range it by running to the windows in the back of the room. After the banish phase ends, it comes with a threat reset. The Chess Event in Karazhan is a very unique fight where you control pieces of a chess board as pets and play a chess-style game against NPCs. The fight is started after talking with Echo of Medivh and taking control of the King piece on your faction's side.

Simply move the main pieces toward the enemy's King and defeat it as quickly as possible to win. The entire raid will need to avoid the Summon Infernal s that drop around the room in random places. If one lands near or on your raid location, you must move away from it or you will die from the Hellfire damage. Dispel any Shadow Word: Pain s on the raid. During Phase 1 and 2, Prince Malchezaar will cast Enfeeble on random raid members, reducing their health to 1 hit point.

Shortly after, he will cast Shadow Nova , dealing Shadow damage to any nearby players. Ranged DPS and healers need to stay at max range to avoid the damage, while melee players will need to either out-range or line-of-sight the Shadow Nova.

Phase 2 is the most dangerous part of the fight. The Thrash can cause tanks to die in what seems to be 1 hit.

It is very important to keep all debuffs up during this phase, such as Demoralizing Shout and Thunder Clap. In Phase 2 you will want to use all DPS cooldowns such as Bloodlust to push through this phase as quickly as possible. Phase 3, Prince Malchezaar will drop his axes and they will attack random players.

Make sure to keep these players alive as they can die quickly without any heals. Amplify Damage will be cast on random players, including the tank. If this debuff lands on the tank, be ready to top them off quickly as they can die easily in this phase.

Phase 1 is a somewhat simple "tank and spank" fight. Have the tanks face Nightbane 's face and tail away from the raid to prevent the cone attacks. Melee players will need to attack from the side and avoid the Cleave , Smoldering Breath , and Tail Sweep. Ranged players will want to stay at max range and stack tightly together. The Bellowing Roar can be outranged by most players. Avoid standing in Charred Earth fires. Phase 2, the air phase, is the more difficult part of the fight. When Nightbane flies up, the raid should stack up underneath him to force the Rain of Bones to spawn the Restless Skeleton s in one spot.

After they start spawning, the raid should move away slightly to avoid being near the Restless Skeleton s as they have an Immolation aura, dealing massive damage to all nearby enemies. Melee players will need to avoid attacking these mobs as the Immolation aura deals around 1, damage per skeleton every few seconds.

Ranged players will want to start killing these skeletons as soon as they have moved a safe distance away. Use any stuns or slows you have available to you to allow your tank to kite as much as possible. After Nightbane finishes his Rain of Bones cast, he will start to cast Smoking Blast on his highest-threat target, most likely a healer. This person will take a massive amount of damage and will require direct, focused healing to survive. It is ideal to have a high-Armor healer such as Holy Paladin or Restoration Shaman get hit by this ability as it deals Physical damage.

It will also leave a stacking damage-over-time Fire debuff on targets which should be removed as soon as possible. This guide has been written by Abide, TBC veteran for nearly a decade.
