Omen Omen is a demon boss summoned in the Moonglade during the Lunar Festival . " Omen now sleeps among the silt of Lake Elune ' ara . But each new year , during the festival , he stirs . . . " - Year of Fear calendar Background . The demigod Omen was a being of great strength and knowledge . Blessed by Elune , Omen wandered primordial Kalimdor , guiding hunters and gatherers and offering luck and advice to all he met . When the Burning Legion launched their attack , Omen allied with Azeroth ' s defenders . Omen fought bravely , but after many battles , his wounds from demonic forces plunged him into a deep , dreaming sleep . . . where fel - inspired nightmares slowly consumed him . When he finally awoke , centuries later , he had fallen to madness . The transformed Omen rampaged . No longer a creature of wisdom — but still possessing the strength of Elune ' s blessing — he tore through the land , killing and devouring . Terror rode before him , and death trailed in his wake . Omen ' s spree of horror ended when a coterie of ancient heroes gathered in the village of Nighthaven and faced the beast . They called down the moon ' s wrath and Omen , blinded and stunned by the power of the moon goddess , fled into the deep waters of Lake Elune ' ara . That day marked the end of his rampage , and symbolized a new beginning for the people of Azeroth , and the followers of Elune . Omen , defeated so many centuries ago , yet remains in Lake Elune ' ara . Although driven insane by the Burning Legion , the demigod still possesses Elune ' s blessing and is , hence , immortal . During the Lunar Festival , he stirs . . and heroes of the land are called to defeat him once again . Strategy . Summoning Omen . To summon Omen , you must use Cluster Rocket s on the launchers on the southeastern shore of the lake . This will cause several Minions of Omen to appear . Continue killing them and firing off rockets , and eventually Omen will appear out of the lake . It seems that there is no need to kill them , it ' s enough to merely have two players ( they don ' t have to be level 70 ) continually use Cluster Rockets on the launchers and he will eventually emerge out of the lake . Using Elune ' s Candle on the Minions may make Omen appear faster . Overview . Omen is a fairly straightforward fight . He has a moderately powerful melee attack , a frontal Cleave , and frequently uses a powerful AoE Starfall ( ticks for about 1800 damage every two seconds over a large area . ) A level 70 tank should have no difficulty holding aggro on him as long as he or she is given time to build initial threat and DPS watches themselves . Using two or three healers will make it easy to keep the tank up without drawing healing aggro . A group of 10 - 15 well - geared level 70 characters should be able to beat him easily . The fight can be done by lower - level characters , but you will want a group of 15 - 20 + at level 60 or 25 - 30 + at lower levels ( a 40 - man group around L40 could probably handle it , especially with a high - level tank and / or healer . ) His most dangerous ability by far is Starfall — this will kill most characters even at L70 if they do not move out of the affected area quickly . Lower - level characters will be killed within seconds . Since healers will normally be busy keeping the tank alive , players who are hurt by this should bandage afterwards if possible . The best way to mitigate this is to constantly drag Omen around ( so if he drops Starfall on the tank or a melee DPSer , you will quickly move out of the way . ) Ranged DPS and healers should just keep a close eye out for it ( turning on scrolling combat text helps , as it pops up a big thing saying " < Starfall > " when the AoE is on you ) and move out of the area as quickly as possible . It is necessary to keep the whole raid moving to survive Starfall , since it seems to be hardly if not impossible to resist ( immunity shields like Divine Shield and Ice Block work too if you ' re too low on health ) . If Starfall killing the tank is an issue , you may want to use only ranged DPS ( meleers can just sit back and use ranged weapons ) ; this reduces the chance that Starfall will be cast on top of the tank . The boss can be graveyard - zerged ; he can be dragged over close to the nearby graveyard to make this easier . Omen does not regenerate his health if he drops aggro , though he will eventually despawn . The guards in Nighthaven ( and some of the elites , like the flight masters ) will aggro on Omen if he is kited there . The non - elites do not do much damage , but the elite NPCs can hurt him substantially . Also , if it is a busy time , there will normally be many other players in Nighthaven who will help kill him . Using Elune ' s Candle on Omen appears to prevent him from casting Starfall for a few seconds ( and deals some damage to him as well . ) Having a number of characters rotating uses of them may almost completely prevent him from using Starfall . It is a fairly good deal to have Horde and Alliance players cooperate on killing him if you can ' t get enough people for Omen . It doesn ' t matter who tags Omen — anyone with the quest can obtain quest credit by stepping into Omen ' s pillar of light after he is dead . This does not always work properly — if you have the quest , step into the light , and get the buff without getting quest credit , try stepping out , dismissing the buff , and stepping into the light a second time . Kiting . A group that cannot adequately tank Omen may be able to beat him by constantly kiting him around ; as long as you are moving you will not take much damage from Starfall , and Omen has no other attack outside of melee range . Hunters are good for this , since they can use Aspect of the Cheetah to keep away from him while still dealing substantial ranged damage . Other DPS classes must be careful not to get above the threat level of the kiter , or Omen will run to them and quickly slay them . Ranged DPS at maximum range can avoid a lot of the damage from Starfall ( try to spread everyone out ) ; melee DPS may want to just hang back and use their ranged weapons , and / or bandage any healers who get hurt . A group wipe will probably occur if the hunter runs out of mana ; having a Druid ( or three ) to use Innervate on them , and / or a lot of mana potions , will help . You can also use multiple hunters ; when one runs out of mana , he / she should Feign Death to leave combat and drink ( or simply die and run back ) , then start DPSing again . Because Omen does not reset health , even if you wipe you can set up again and repeat until he is downed . Omen will leash if taken too far from his spawn point , so keep this in mind when attempting to kite him . It is well advised that you bring a healer to mitigate starfall damage ( which oddly does not daze cheetah / pack affected players ) — a priest or druid being best , given their instant cast HOTs . A paladin could conceivably work , though the cooldown on Holy Shock is prohibitive , and you may as well keep looking before using a shaman healer . Soloing . It is possible for warlocks , balance druids , and possibly other classes , to solo Omen . Plan on spending 30 minutes kiting him without help . There is a very large tree , south along the road , near the cluster launchers where he spawns . Cast all DoTs on Omen and run him tightly around the tree . You will have to reapply one spell every ~ 9 seconds so that he does not reset . Healthstones , healing potions , and a run speed enchant will help significantly . You will be taking damage from Lifetap and occasional Starfall spells , so if you have neither Siphon Life nor Fel Stamina it is unlikely you will succeed in killing him without help . It is also possible to kite him around Nighthaven as a hunter using a combination of Aspect of the Viper and Aspect of the Cheetah , and damage over time through traps , stings and pausing to shoot at Omen . One must run in a circular pattern around Nighthaven through the inn and over the bridge , and around again , all the while doing this . It takes a massive amount of time , but is possible . Nearby players are likely to help , as do all guards that Omen passes , though these die fairly quickly . Omen has now been buffed to 5 . 6 Million health and does about 3 - 4 Thousand damage with Starfall . Omen is also now leashed to his summoning grounds . He can no longer be kited to Nighthaven . Max distance toward Nighthaven is the second bridge from the summoning grounds . - OMEN IS NOW CLASSED AS A RAID BOSS - It is still possible to solo Omen , although it takes a prohibitive amount of time . Balance druids can solo Omen with relative ease so long as their mana regeneration is sufficient to maintain a very long , pitched fight . As with the strategy above , pull Omen to the large tree to the south of his spawn point ( just north of the Great Cat Spirit ) . It seems to be easiest to circle the tree in a clockwise fashion . Use Insect Swarm and Moonfire as your primary sources of damage , reapplying them as soon as they wear off . You can also use Force of Nature and Starfall on every cooldown to supplement your damage , but try to drop Force of Nature immediately after Omen uses HIS Starfall , else your treants will likely die without doing any damage . Glyph of Moonfire and Glyph of Insect Swarm can be helpful here , as can Glyph of Innervate to help prolong your mana . You won ' t have time to get any other spells off on Omen and you must not allow him to land a physical attack on you lest you be dazed , so stick to your two damage - over - time spells . You ' ll usually catch at least one damage tick each time he uses his Starfall ability , so use Lifebloom and possibly Rejuvenation to keep your health up . When you begin to get low on mana , use Innervate if it ' s not on cooldown . If it ' s still on its cooldown , stop using Moonfire and just use Insect Swarm to keep Omen from resetting , casting it only once every ten seconds or so , until you can use Innervate again . Trinkets such as the Majestic Dragon Figurine and talents such as Intensity ( druid talent ) will help preserve your mana between Innervates . If Omen begins to get too close for comfort , shift into Travel Form to give you some breathing room , but don ' t outrun Omen too far or you ' ll be out of casting range and he may reset . Expect to devote at least two hours to soloing Omen at level 80 , although depending on gear level it can go faster . It ' s interesting to note that Omen does not immediately regain health when resetting , so if you lose aggro you can take that opportunity to eat / drink / bandage . A player attempting to solo Omen has at least a few minutes to rest when he resets before their progress is lost , however waiting too long will allow him to despawn .
