This is the first boss in Sethekk Halls, Auchindoun. He will chain lightning your party as well as summon 4 elementals(at once). Kill these elementals before they swarm your healer. He will continue to spawn elementals till he dies, and they do despawn when he dies.

- Strategy -

Darkweaver syth is an elemental shamen, his HP goes down fast, but at 75%, 50% and 25% he will summon 4 elementals , so when they spawn stop dps on boss and take them out. They are fearable. They do despawn when he dies.

- Special Abilities -

Summon Elementals – at 75%, 50%, and 25% health increments Darkweaver will summon 4 elementals; shadow, fire, frost, and arcane. They hit for about 600-800 elemental damage and leave behind a “magic” debuff that deals 65 damage every 3 seconds. They have low hp and are fearable.

Arcane, Frost, and Flame Shock – All his shocks deal about 500-800 damage.

Chain Lightning - same as a shammy

Shadow based Melee – Darkweaver’s melee damage is shadow based and hits for about 1000-1200.

We tried nuking the boss as well. However our healer got aggro and died from the adds just before the boss died :/

Bad luck.

Commento di 11660

He spawned the first adds at 85% for us.

Commento di 16911

His elemental minions are not precisely at 25% intervals. The key to killing him is to have your dps focus on dropping the minions during the first 2 spawns. We accomplished this with mage AOE assisted by a hunter. Our shaman healed the tank while the priest tended to the mage. During the last spawn of elementals, focus on killing Syth and ignore the elementals. They will despawn when he is dead. Overall, a fairly easy fight.

Commento di 12815

We did full dps against the boss, and only the tank died (me).

Warrior 66
Hunter 69
Priest 65
Warlock 66
Mage 67

Spawns appeared at 85% hp.

Suggestions: Use Reflect (warrior) and fear against the first spawn wave

Commento di 17269

Nuked, shield wall and full dps, easy :-)
When he die adds die too

Commento di 4130

Syth has surprisingly few hitpoints, so if your party thinks they can go all-out on him from the get-go they might end up with a second wave of elementals before the first has been dealt with.

Take your time for the first half of the fight, focus your attention on elementals and just apply steady DPS. After the second wave of elementals is gone you're free to go buck-wild, because Syth will be dead long before the third wave of elementals will be a problem.

Commento di warhowl

Did this with couple of lvl 66s: priest/druid/mage/hunter/rogue
Druid tank priest heals.

When first wave of adds come let the hunter pet tank and hunter do volley to get aggro off tank and kill them then concentrate on the boss again.

When he spawns adds again fear em and the ice and keep DPSing the boss he will die 10 sec after that and he adds will die with him.

Prot/Fury Warrior, Fury Warrior, Arcane/Fire Mage, Shadow Priest, Holy/Prot Paladin.

We used a somewhat different tactic from the usual "fear them all" strategy. While our main healer, the paladin, kept our warriors alive, the shadow priest kept me, the mage, alive when we had the adds while I AE'd them down. Since one of the mobs was immune to Arcane, it would beat on the tank or paladin until I was ready for it, where I'd then Fire Blast + Scorch it to death.

Given the set points for the adds, this tactic made the fight a joke.

Oh, and the 75/50/25% thing is wrong. The adds come at 90, 55, and 10%, as I've come to find.

HERO
don't try to fear die add's and dps him down....
take time, kill the spawns, fear just the last wave and kill him

Commento di skrewler

Heroic --

Group setup - Lock, Mage, Warrior, Paladin, Hunter

We let our tank bring him down to 90% to build rage, and killed the first round of adds.

Second round of adds warrior blew fear, and we went all out on DPS. When third round of adds came out lock feared and he went down easily.

We killed him first time with this strat, the adds hit for a lot and the healer ran out of mana trying to keep everyone up with the "kill all adds strat"..

Commento di 51413

Don't forget lakka for the quest Brother against Brother is in a cage immediatly behind him, too the left. Make sure that party members are all up before releasing her.

Just ran this tonight on heroic with a guild group, composed of:

Prot Pally (decently geared, 12.5k hp buffed)
Frost Mage
Dest Warlock
Balance Druid
Hybrid Healing Priest

Wiped three times trying to power him down, power adds down, and AE the whole fight through. Read a few comments and afterward attempted a very slow, nice and easy strategy: full dps until adds (mage, lock, and druid). Once adds spawn, tank keeps consecration down (SoV stacked on boss to keep aggro), and tanks adds down one by one, mage/lock assisting. Singletarget-killed each add down, druid was tossing heals during the adds. DPS halted until debuffs wear off (very important part... those are what will kill you, as will burning mana/time mass dispelling), then DPS resumed. Did once at 85% and 55%. When adds spawned around 10%, we just powered him down. Not a bad fight this way, just don't lose hope.

HEROIC:

Here is a tactic that served us (Druid Tank, Druid Healer, Hunter, 2 Mages) quite well.
Deal if the fight is killing the elementals quick enough. Make sure who of the DPSers kill which one and the the healer (if you have only one) save of them. After the first wave is dead, bandage and dont hit the boss until all are at or close to full health. Then do the same for the second wave. After that wave, get up your health again and then nuke the boss down and dont mind the third wave, they will despawn after you downed Darkweaver Syth.

After several wipes we got him with that tactic ((and a lack of healing maybe)) on second try.

--HEROIC--

Just did him, really easy guy.

Rogue(me), warrior tank, resto druid, mage & Spriest.

Rogue & Tank on the boss and the mage & spriest on the first 2 sets of adds (mage on the shadow ones, priest on the fire ones), he doesn't have much HP, 110k or so, after the first 2 sets of adds just fear/ignore them and nuke him down, the adds despawn when he dies.

Commento di Endyr

Adds spawn at 90,55,10%. Please fix the strat above.

Commento di 18034

For the record the last 2 times i did this in reg mode the elementals were immune to all fears/banishes. It may have been a bug, but it's worth mentioning

Commento di 2698

There are two parts to this encounter: Syth (and his health %) and his adds.

His adds are directly linked to his health and as such the group can control when the adds spawn which is important for determining tactics. The adds spawn at 90%, 55% and 10%.

Generally, most groups cannot keep the first wave feared until Syth is dead and it is therefore recommended that all dps'ers stop damaging him and focus on adds for the first wave. Because the tank (most likely) won't do a lot of damage to the boss during this phase, there's no danger of having 2 waves spawn at once. After adds are dead, you can dps him down to 55%. If you're doing a good job and taking him down fast, you should be able to fear the adds from both this wave and the last wave while you burn him down. Adds will despawn after a few seconds once Syth is dead.

Note that adds have too many hitpoints for AoE unless you happen to have two epic-geared mages in your team - otherwise, I recommend using the above strategy, also to avoid 2 waves spawning at the same time un-feared.

In nonheroic, I just cleared him without a healer on my 70 warrior. (WHAT?)

Basically, one of my guildies asked me to tank. He's a retadin. We had two hunters (Both 68), retadin (70), and a mage (68, apparently Arcane spec), as well as me tanking on a prot warrior. We decided to burn straight through after wiping the first time, the paladin's heals just couldn't keep up.

Started the fight, I Intimidating Shouted the first wave of adds. We kept burning him straight through. When the second wave spawned and my Shout wore off, I activated Shield Wall, Last Stand, and Challenging Shout. That was enough mitigation to keep me alive until we had burned him all the way down - a few Holy Lights from the paladin throughout the first part kept me alive. I had 12000 hp, in basic pre-Kara pre-heroic gear.

It IS possible to burn straight through on Regular, you just have to burn cooldowns and have some decent luck behind you.

HEROIC:

Did him yesterday for the first time. Our group planned to DPS first wave and fear second and third wave of adds (fears from me (prot warrior) and lock). DPSd him too fast though and second wave spawned before first wave was finished. All 5 party members started taking lots of damage at the same time so we wiped.

Second time, we decided to play it safe and dps slowly so we didn't have too many adds spawned at once. I put all the dps on adds (mage, lock, and hunter) and i soloed Syth. Even with just me on Syth, the second group spawned just as they finished the first (i'm nothing special as far as Heroic dps goes). DPSd the second wave, feared third and had no trouble second time.

Whole reason for my post though, was that i discovered during my fight with the boss that, while his Chain Lightning can't be Shield Bashed to interrupt the cast, a warrior can Reflect it (which is possibly why i was taking him down faster than i thought i should be). I don't know if it kept it from hitting the rest of the party, but it did save me about 1,200 hp per cast which made it easier for healer to keep up the dpsers. Also, remarkably, my Reflect was off CD everytime he cast, so it was easy to keep up since you can see him charge up the spell. I probably used it two or three times before DPS rejoined me.

Anyway, all that to say that your warrior can reflect the chain lightning. =)

Commento di 144768

just a quick question, does anyone know if you are able to interupt syth's casting? such as his chain lightning or his summon elementals?

Commento di 138910

paladin tanks(like myself) are definitely better imo...

I have yet to wipe on him on reg or heroic. It makes the dps/healers life SO much easier to not have to worry about aggro. I gave everyone salv during this fight because they have to dps so hard and so fast here(salv let them dps more without the threat of aggroing the boss/ellys)

GL and have fun! :)

First 2 waves of elementals got AoE'd down...when mage gets to 50% health BoP & bandage. When you start going low in heath again mana shield and/or use potion & keep the AoE up. Fear the 3rd wave and finish the boss off.

Commento di Thottbot

Yep AoE the first waves and smack him down.

Did it with:
68 Warrior

Commento di Thottbot

This guy really isn't too hard. Both times we have tried the all out DPS and ignore the adds strategy on two different runs failed miserably. What I've found to work better is kill the first two wave of adds, kill one or two in the second wave, and then fear the remaining waves. Both times we have done it this way he has gone down without a problem.

Commento di Thottbot

Summons 5 elementals(fire, water, earth, air, shadow) at ~80%, ~65%, and ~30%. Best course of action is to STOP ALL DPS ON BOSS and go to the adds. Ignoring the adds gets your healer killed, success or not in downing him. Adds have about 2k life each so they die very fast. The boss hits like a girl as long as the debuffs stacked on the tank are dispelled. Very simple fight as long as dps, as per usual, isn't completely retarded and can kill the adds quickly.

If you continue to dps the boss as you down adds she stacks more adds on top of previous ones, so again: kill the adds and completely stop dps on the boss(she only has 50k life).

Stopped dps during adds, killed them, returned to boss. Fight was pretty slow that way but no one even came close to death. Above poster mentioning ~80%, 60%, 30% was right on.

Not mentioned earlier was if you go all out DPS, the adds die as soon as boss dies so you don't have to deal with them at all.

Commento di Thottbot

jsut goes to show u that different groups can do diferent things

Commento di Thottbot

easiest way to down him is to stop dps on first and second waves, kill all elementals, then uses potions or firstaid bandages to save your healer some mana

then focus on him, ignore the last wave which will disappear with his death

Commento di Thottbot

We took him down the first time with the following group:

- Lvl 68 hunter, lvl 67 snowcat pet tanking boss
- Lvl 68 holy priest
- Lvl 68 warlock
- Lvl 67 mage

Slow on DPS at the start, AoE fearing the adds at 75% and 50% and DPSing them down. From there on full DPS on Syth. Fairly easy fight.

Commento di Thottbot

We got adds at 90%, 55%, and 15% on Heroic mode.

Commento di Thottbot

Group was:

70 Rogue
70 Warlock
70 Pally
67 Tank
69 DPS warr

Took one attempt. Lock feared 1st group, then both warriors feared others. Lost the lock and rogue, but downed him. I can't imagine fighting him without the 3 fears, tho.

Commento di Thottbot

Downed him on our first try with no deaths.

70 Druid (tank)
68 Mage
70 Shaman
67 Warlock
66 Paladin (me)

DPSed the first wave down, then went all out DPS for the rest. I was spamming heals like nothing else and got all the add aggro, but I just DSed and kept going. Add aggro was bouncing everywhere, but it was fairly easy to keep everyone up.

Commento di Thottbot

extreamly easy with 3 rogues and two druids.

can dps the adds down in a matter of seconds and put bleed effects on the boss when the dps is on those adds, so it goes down very fast :)

Commento di Thottbot

we had 68 warlock 67 priest 70 druid 70 hunter and 67 mage
we just feared all the adds at 25% and forst nova'd them :] was easy as pie

Commento di Thottbot

This boss is actually very easy, but when I first tried it the leader told us to ignore the elemental spawns and focus on the boss, with disastrous effects. The healer ended up with all the aggro, died and obviously the rest of the party wiped.

Like has been said already, have your mage or lock AoE the adds, they die easily and 5 are no problem for him (they are immune to their respective spells, like all elementals).

Without the adds to worry about, healing the Tank and others was easy, and the fight was over in no time, didn't even need the lightwell I placed.

So, conclusion: for easy mode AoE the adds; if you're hardcore and like to make things difficult for yourselves, ignore them.

Our group was:
67 Rogue
67 Mage
68 Priest (me)
69 Hunter
70 Druid

Killed this guy 4 times and got the consecrate libram and the bracers for my retrib pally dont even need to go hre anymore =D the boss is only like say 8 mobs away btw

Commento di Thottbot

HEROIC STRATEGY

kill him slowly...VERY slowly. the more time in between the adds, the easier it is.
We had only the tank DPS. 3 people took out the adds, bandaged, waited for debuffs to wear off(30sec?). By this time, Tank solod boss down to 50% and 2nd wave came. repeat. Once debuffs are gone and your health is topped off, burn the boss and ignore the last wave.
Boss doesnt hit too hard so your healers mana should be managable.
dont waste time trying to burn his huge MP.
if you fail....kill the boss slower. GL

Commento di Thottbot

My Group:

70 priest(me)
67 warrior(tank)

We took him down on the 4th try, we took down the first two sets of adds, and then the tank feared the last set and we killed him.

Had 66 Prot. Warrior tank, 70 arms warrior (myself) attacking main, both hunters took adds, priest healed. Much like last boss in Mana Tombs, tackle him when his adds are down then take out adds when they spawn. We wiped twice before getting this down pat.

Commento di Thottbot

Heroic Mode Strat...
Dps him down til adds come
when adds come all on adds but tank
tank make sure u use spell reflect i did that myself(Prot warrior) it damaged him about 3% it works very well
make sure healer throws u a heal tank every once and a while...but other then that healer must stay on rest of grp cuz adds hit very hard...tank will be most of the DPS on this boss...remember spell reflect chain lightning it will cause him alot of damage and the adds also...that is key to this fight...

all 70s...heroic

Commento di Thottbot

Best strategy for this boss I've found revolves around having a warlock. When the adds come, put a bubble on the lock and have one of the other DPS focus on the add that looks like a mini voidwalker. Then the lock just drops one seed of corruption after another on the boss. The DPS on the boss should be high enough that each seed should detonate inbetween casting the next one. Normal you get about 2 or 3 seeds before the adds go down, heroic 4 or 5... might help to have a mage frost nova too to keep them in place. But this way you don't have to take them out one at a time.
And incase you didn't catch on, the extra guy on the voidwalker is because he's immune to shadow damage.

Commento di Thottbot

2 Manned with two druids ftw

Commento di Thottbot

one thing to make it easier if u have a mage with u is to let the mage AoE all adds except the one that is the same as whatever the mage is specd in since it will be immune to his main spells, such as if u have a fire mage have one other dps pick up the fire elemental, if hes frost pick up the water elemental, i would only do the AoE on normal, on heroic i would use the strategy posted above where u have your tank dps the boss and all other dps on adds to lengthen time beetween adds spawning.

Commento di Allakhazam

Spawns elementals at about 75 50 and 25 % mobs go down easy enuf, for last wave just nuke the boss and the adds despawn
please note the whirlwinds are arcane not nature so shaman/druids can kill them

Commento di Allakhazam

Group consisted of warrior, rogue, pally, mage, priest.

I don't recommend the aoe fearing.

Boss should be tanked on the platform he's standing on. My group burned down the first adds that spawn, dps boss, than for 2nd wave I {warrior} feared the 2nd wave and dps is continued on boss, if he doesn't die than or isn't close to dying just dps the adds down, than back on the boss. If 3rd wave comes, ignore it, kill boss.

I also noticed that when I was tanking him on the platform all the adds came to me immediately after they spawn so I threw up demoralizing shout before thay break away to the rest of the group.

dropped 2 spirit shards for each person in group, tough fight no doubt all you need is high dps and area fear, we had 2 warriors on first summon the tank intimdate shouted and then second pop i did, and we just burned down mass dps without worry about adds, they despawn when boss dies, so just burn down the boss asap and your good with fearing adds priests is good for aoe fears aswell

Commento di Allakhazam

Those boots never drops. Been there 13 times now - no luck :|

Commento di Allakhazam

Keep the waves banished or feared. killing the waves is hard they come to fast... DPS boss down first

Commento di Allakhazam

got the boots on my first time there :)

Commento di Allakhazam

Summons elementals of all different schools of magic, 2-4 each time. We dpsed her down while kiting adds as best as possible, mobs despawn when it dies.
