This was the last piece of wisdom the imparted to me, just hours before the Sha outbreak. It makes sense now...

All of his teachings - the very Way of the Crane itself... it's all been preparation for facing the Sha of Despair.

== Tips ==
Interrupting Gloom Whirl is vital, so always keep the Sha of Despair targeted. Killing the Echoes heals you, which is extremely helpful if you cannot heal yourself.
Despite Anduin's advice, there is no need to defeat the Echoes of Despair summoned by the Sha's Call of Despair attack. Despite re-casting the Call of Despair, the Sha does not appear to summon more Echoes unless some have been defeated. Once the Sha is defeated, all Echos are instantly dispersed. Ranged classes can therefore simply stay out of aggro range of the Echoes, and focus all their attacks on the Sha itself.
