yea dont fly anywhere near him. he has like a 50 yard aggro range, and it even works in midair.

i got one shooted for 16000 damage while flying by, then upon ressing (at his feet was the only place able to) i got crushing blow'd for 26000.

fun times!

Notice me sticking out of the center of his chest.

spawns at about 63,13 if i'm not mistaken.

each time he kills anyone he heals himself for exactly 150000 everytime.

alright.
1. you need a flying mount to get to where he is
2. you cant kite him to any city/outpost because hes in a giant bowl with a bunch of felreaver buddies
3. i was able to fly right through him on my mount its not until you get to about below his waste will he agro you on your flying mount (guess hes a bit sensitive).

Did a 32 man raid against him, with 30 70 fire mages, 1 70 frost mage, and a 70 arcane mage. WE hit him with pyroblast all at the same time, got him down to around 94-95% hp. Then he ran at us and pretty much one shotted each and every one of us. Sucked. Dont try it without a solid group. :)

Low gravity on Outlands I guess...

You need a Heroics<-->Karazhan Geared 30-40 man raid to down him. That means everyone in the raid must have a little bit of kara experience/gear.

TANKING

Your Main Tank, raid buffed, needs to have at least 15k health and armor with 18% dodge & parry and 25% block. He will get hit for 8k, but the attacks are slow and successful blows are infrequent. Keep him topped off.

I recommend having an equally geared druid tank standing by to pick up agro with a charge and taunt should the MT lose threat.

HEALING

You NEED two or three resto druids keeping the entire raid topped off.

You NEED two or three Holy Paly's in the raid.

You NEED at least one Holy Priest and one Holy Paly keeping the Tank/s and Melee DPS alive.

The raid should have three shadow priests. One for the Resto Druids, one for the Tank's healers, and one for the highest DPS group using mana.

You should NOT have more than 7-8 healers in the raid. 2 Resto Druids, 3 Paladins, and 1 or 2 Priests is the way to go.

DPS

If at all possible have as much ranged DPS as you can. He has an insane chain cleave that increases damage with the number of players it hits. Having your melee DPS directly behind him helps.

After a minute he enrages, sending out 6 Shadow Bolt Volleys in a row. EVERYONE but the Palys and tank/s need to run like hell for the duration. Palys bubble and spam heal tank/s.

If someone in the raid dies, Kazzak gains about 8% of his health back instantly.

If you can set up a raid like this you can down this guy. He is easier than Mag, especially if you do it right.

Good Luck and Have Fun!

With patch 2.4, his loot will be boe.

Better start saving for hope ender, all ye rogues for whom spiteblade wont drop.

My guild was never one much for world bosses, but one day we got a wild bug up our collective bottoms and decided to tackle Kazzak, just to see if we could do it. We gathered up every raider we could find and managed to scrape up about 30 - about half of us outfitted in Kara gear or equivalent, and the other half sporting ZA gear with the odd piece of T5. Main tank was our best-geared protection warrior, and heals consisted of myself and one other holy paladin, two resto shamans, a resto druid and three holy priests, one of whom was LV69 (!) and had to be summoned up onto the ledge with Kazzak by one of our locks. DPS was heavily ranged with the odd smattering of melee. We even had two of our guildies dual-box their Alliance accounts and bring an extra boomkin and hunter to get in on the fun.

The trick to Kazzak, once you've cleared the adds around his dais, is to push as hard as you can as fast as you can. If the fight lasts over about a minute and a half, you will need some serious luck to finish. From the start everyone rushed in and stayed packed tightly together in their respective melee/caster group, to maximize AOE heal efficiency. Both paladins focused on chain-casting max-rank Holy Light on the main tank as their only task. DPS unloaded as soon as the tank had enough aggro (boosted by Misdirects on the tank and Blessing of Salvation on DPS) but kept their cooldowns for the shadow volley. When the shadow volley came, everyone popped every CD they had, bubbles, trinkets, pots, freakin' Cloak of Shadows, whatever was clickable and ready. This combined with AOE heals from the shamans and priests allowed us to DPS straight through the shadow volleys and make up a lot of time that we would have otherwise lost "getting the hell out of there" as other strategies advised. We did not have a single death with this approach.

Drops were the healer staff (which, amusingly, went to the 69 holy priest), the plate tanking gloves, and one random green. XD

I've found a great new sport.

With all of the people doing dailies, you wait for a few to be near Kazzak. Fly up to him on epic FM, pull him to people, see how many people he owns.

My record is 4 including myself.

Beware the Nightmare Vine in front of him.That's his bait.
