User:GoldenYak/Twilight Lord Xarosan

Twilight Lord Xarosan is the first boss in the Halls of Reflection in Icecrown Citadel. One of the Highborne of ancient Kalimdor, Xarosan has been growing in knowledge and power for over ten thousand years, mastering arcane magicks, summoning the elements, and the demonic powers of darkness. Having come to believe that mastering death is the truest path to everlasting life under the dominion of the Old Gods, in recent years Xarosan has begun studying necromancy extensively. In Dragonblight he attempted to continue the former Scourge's efforts there to raise slain dragons as undead wyrms. Since his defeat, he has remained close to his master, Velius, waiting for an opportunity to exact his revenge. He has followed Velius into the Halls of Reflection, where the true goals of the Twilight's Hammer are about to be revealed.

Abilites
Phase One Abilities - Xarosan uses these abilities in his night elf form.











Phase Two Abilities - Xarosan transforms into his Demon Form using Metamorphosis (warlock ability).









Phase Three Abilities - Xarosan seperates himself from his demonic side, leaving the demon behind to use the following abilities.









Living Firestorm abilities


 * Burn Out - When slain, Living Firestorms deal fire damage to all nearby targets. This ability removes a stack from Xarosan's Elemental Shield of Frost.

Living Blizzard abilities


 * Flash Freeze - When slain, Living Blizzards deal frost damage to all nearby targets. This ability removes a stack from Xarosan's Elemental Shield of Flame.

Living Blasphemy abilities


 * Blasphemous Residue - When slain, Living Blasphemies leave behind a pool of shadowy slime. Standing in the pool deals periodic shadow damage, but negates all shadow damage from all other sources.

Changes in Heroic Mode
Xarosan receives the following changes in Phase One:








 * Elemental shields now start with 4 stacks instead of two.
 * Summon Living Storms now calls three elementals of one type and one elemental of the opposing type.

Strategy
In phase one, Xarosan will protect himself with elemental shields while summoning hordes of deadly elementals. The only way to pierce Xarosan's shield is to destroy elementals of the opposite type while closeby his shield - i.e. destroy fire elementals if he is using a frost shield. When the shield is dispelled, Xarosan will be stunned and vulnerable for a few seconds. When he recovers, he will immediately enter phase two.

In phase two, Xarosan transforms into his Demon Form. Xarosan will transmute any living elementals into Living Blasphemies, as well as summoning more Living Blasphemies throughout phase two. After a short time in phase two, Xarosan will cast Shadow Raid and revert to his normal form. Shadow Raid will deal lethal damage unless players protect themselves by standing in the pools of Blasphemous Residue left behind by slain Living Blasphemies. When Xarosan reverts to his normal form after casting Shadow Raid, phase one will begin again.

When Xarosan's health has been reduced to 10%, phase three begins. Xarosan will separate himself from his Demon Form and teleport away, leaving the demon behind to continue the attack. Xarosan's demonic self will continue to attack the raid until he is destroyed. Players must weather the chaotic energies unleashed during this phase and defeat the demon before they are overwhelmed.

Heroic Changes
Xarosan has more powerful abilities in phase one. Phase three begins when Xarosan is reduced to 15% health rather than 10%.
