Anzu Anzu is a " raven god " and a boss in the Sethekk Halls of Auchindoun ( on heroic difficulty only ) . A druid used to have to summon and kill Anzu as part of the Epic Flight Form quest chain , but as of Patch 4 . 0 . 1 , the quest chain was removed and Anzu is now a permanent boss encounter . Attacks and abilities . Bird statues . When Anzu is summoned , three friendly NPC birds appear as well . Casting a druid HoT on the birds will awaken them for the HoT ' s duration , and will provide the following effects to the group : Level 80 druid solo strategy . A well geared level 80 feral druid with over 30 , 000 health in Bear form can prowl to Anzu without fighting , and solo him . Beware of Darkweaver Syth , he can see through prowl and if you stray within the darker circle that his raised dais sits in , he will aggro . Darkweaver Syth is a trivial fight that any feral druid worth their salt can master . Alternatively , you can drop out of Prowl just after passing the guards at the entrance of the room , and circle around the room near the walls , Prowl will be ready again before you reach the next pair of guards . The Anzu fight is moderately difficult if you use all abilities available to you . If your gear is subpar you should have as many buffs as possible . Be prepared with scrolls , pots and food to boost your dps and health to the max , you MUST have Improved Leader of the Pack for this to be feasible . Prepare for the fight by casting your HoTs on yourself and shift to bear form . Pull him and then kite him to one of the corners of the room . DPS him until his health is at 66 % . As soon as he banishes , return to caster form and heal up the damage he ' s done , don ' t try to overdo it since you ' ll use up precious time and you may end up with a lot of birds still up when he unbanishes , one application of Regrowth and Rejuvenation is all you ' ll have time for . During healing you should keep Anzu targeted and remember he will continue to cast his spells , beware of him casting Paralyzing Screech , you can get caught in caster form and be attacked by the birds . If you have kited him away to a corner of the room , the birds will be out of aggro range and will allow you to heal in peace . Return to Bear Form ASAP and pull the Brood of Anzu , it ' s a good idea to blow your Berserk at this time to down as many of the Anzu Brood as possible before Anzu unbanishes , swipe away to finish them all off . Continue your attack on Anzu until he banishes again , repeat your healing , and return to Bear Form as soon as possible to avoid massive punishment . Don ' t bother with the birds much . Kill Anzu and loot your rewards . Tips : Strategy . The fight is a regular tank - and - spank during phase 1 . If a caster is afflicted by Spell Bomb , they should STOP casting immediately ; if a healer is afflicted , an offhealer , if present , should heal the party for the duration of the debuff . As Anzu approaches 66 % ( and later 33 % ) , he ' ll self - banish and summon birds that should be AoE ' ed . It is very beneficial to keep the Eagle Spirit active during Phase 2 , taking advantage of its 300 DPS room - wide AoE . You will probably find that the Eagle Spirit ' s AoE is more successful than any mage or druid AoE that you use . There is also the advantage that the Eagle Spirit ' s AoE will not draw aggro to any party member . If you have a Frost Mage in your party , have them freeze the bird flock to help avoid harm to your party members . Anzu will unbanish after 1 minute or when all birds are dead — whichever comes first . If it seems likely that the birds aren ' t going to die in one minute , the tank needs to pick up Anzu while the rest of the group finishes the birds off . Generally , you ' ll want to keep Hawk Spirit up as much as possible , Eagle during phase 2 , and Falcon if you have spare time ( the haste effect significantly increases the group ' s DPS , making the fight less time and mana consuming ) . While Regrowth is longer , Rejuvenation is instant cast — either may be used depending on the situation . The following macros enable you to cast Rejuvenation on a specific spirit without having to target it directly : Using macros such as the above will make this fight a lot easier than manual targeting . Manual targeting of the spirits becomes very difficult once the bird flock arrives due to the number of mobs on screen . After the second , and last , wave of birds you may find the best way to finish the fight is to DPS Anzu down quickly . Prophecy of the Raven God . " From the darkest night shall rise again the raven , shall take flight in the shadows , shall reveal the nature of its kind . Prepare yourself for its coming , for the faithful shall be elevated to take flight with the raven , the rest be forgotten to walk upon the ground , clipped wings and shame . " " Steel your minds and guard your thoughts . The dark wings will cloud and consume the minds of the weak , a flock of thralls whose feet may never leave the ground . " " The old blood will flow once again with the coming of the raven , the return of the darkness in the skies . Scarlet night , and the rise of the old . " " The raven was struck down once for flying too high , unready . The eons have prepared the Dark Watcher for its ascent , to draw the dark cloak across the horizon . " Source : in Blade ' s Edge Mountains , where the objective is to listen to this prophecy while buffed to understand Ravenspeech . This was first thought to refer to Terokk until patch 2 . 1 and the introduction of the druid epic flight form questline and hence Anzu as a boss .
