Novos the Summoner

Novos the Summoner is the second boss of Drak'Tharon Keep. He is a lich in charge of the Scourge forces in Drak'tharon.

During the Scourge resurgence, Novos was one of the undead forces reanimated by Mawsworn kyrian in Scourgeholme in Icecrown.

Adventure Guide
''Novos was ever the opportunist and sought a means to rise above his mundane peers. The cultist carved his heart from his body and presented the still beating organ to his master seconds before his death. His initiative impressed his master who in turn remade him into a lich.''

Phase 1: Army of the Dead
Novos the Summoner enters an Arcane Field and summons waves of undead to defend him. Novos remains in the Arcane Field until 4 Crystal Handlers are defeated.
 * Crystal Handler
 * Risen Shadowcaster
 * Hulking Corpse
 * Risen Shadowcaster
 * Hulking Corpse
 * Hulking Corpse
 * Hulking Corpse

Phase 2: Wrath of the Summoner
Novos the Summoners lowers his Arcane Field and attacks.

Tactics
He imprisons himself in an Arcane Field immediately after aggro-ing, which players must break during the fight in order to damage him. While he is shielded, the fight has several steps:

Novos will summon a constant flow of non-elite mobs (Fetid Troll Corpse and Risen Shadowcaster) and the occasional elite Wight (Hulking Corpse). Periodically, an additional caster (Crystal Handler) will be summoned which when killed will cause one of the crystals on the shield to go down. This has changed from being a lootable item used to drop the shield. When the shield is down, kill Novos! Move out of his Blizzard, decurse if possible and heal the random damage he inflicts to the party.

His spells can not be interrupted or Spell Reflected.
