Servant Quarters

The Servant Quarters boss is the first boss the players encounter in Karazhan (Wing 1). However, the raid can choose to fight Attumen the Huntsman first. The fight is unique in the form of having three bosses in one fight.

## **Mechanics**

### Phase One

* The fight begins with Shadikith the Glider. The other two rooms are afflicted by Ignite Zones while the raid battles Shadikith. Ignite Zones are designated by purple flames on the ground in the other two rooms ahead of Shadikith. The Enrage timer for the entire fight is 6 minutes.

* Vampirism [Every 14 seconds] - Shadikith and the bats he calls will gain the lifesteal effect temporarily, gaining health back per base attack on a player.

* Sonic Burst [Every 20 seconds] - Shadikith will let out a deafening screech that deals massive AoE damage to the raid.

#### Adds

* Vampiric Shadowbat [Every 7 seconds] - A bat will spawn while Shadikith is alive. The bat will benefit from Shadikith's Vampirism and when a bat is killed, the whole raid is silenced (prevented from using spells) and their base damage is cut roughly by half for a couple seconds.

### Phase Two

* The fight continues with Rokad the Ravager after Shadikith is slain and the Ignite Zones clear up from his room. The room where Shadikith the Glider was fought in becomes enveloped by Ignite Zones and the room after Rokad is still afflicted by Ignite Zones

* Ravage [Every 14 seconds] - Rokad will enrage and drop from tank aggro, increasing the attack speed of himself and his adds for a brief period of time.

* Superheat [Every 16 seconds] - Rokad will burst into flames and run around the room, dealing high DoT damage to anyone standing near him. He cannot be interrupted or taunted during Superheat.

#### Adds

* Dreadbeast [Every 7 seconds] - A dreadbeast will spawn while Rokad is alive. The dreadbeast shares the effect of Ravage from Rokad when it activates, it explodes, dealing instant AoE damage around where it was killed.

### Phase Three

* The fight ends with Hyakiss the Lurker after Rokad the Ravager is slain and the Ignite Zones clear up from his room. The room where Rokad the Ravager was fought in becomes enveloped in Ignite Zones once again, and Shadikith's room continues to be filled with Ignite Zones.

* Acid Spit [Every 11 seconds] - Hyakiss will stop and spit poison at a random player in the raid, inflicting high DoT damage for a brief period of time.

* Sneak [Every 60 seconds] - Hyakiss will go into hiding in the room where Shadikith was in stealth. A player must walk within the vicinity of him to get him to undo his stealth.

#### Adds

* Coldmist Stalker [Every 7 seconds] - A stalker will spawn while Hyakiss is alive. The stalker shares the Acid Spit ability, using it in unison with Hyakiss. When a stalker is slain they leave behind a poisonous green puddle that deals quick and devastating DoT damage to players that stand in it. The puddle remains on the field indefinitely until the boss is killed or reset from a group wipe.

## **Tactics**

### Phase One

* Have the main tank take Shadikith and the off-tank take the Vampiric Shadowbats to divide damage evenly.

* It is recommended not to kill Vampiric Shadowbats when Shadikith is about to use Sonic Burst or when raid members are low on health, because healers will not be able to heal the raid back up right away due to being silenced.

* An effective tactic is to have the off-tank kite the Vampiric Shadowbats until enough amass to kill in one fell swoop from the damage dealers using AoE abilities. However, this requires AoE-focused damage dealers.

### Phase Two

* Have the main tank take Rokad on the top or top right area of his room. The off-tank should take the Dreadbeasts. It is recommended that the tank with the most taunts to be the off-tank in this phase.

* If timed correctly, the tanks can interrupt Ravage as soon as Rokad and the Dreadbeasts use it to prevent them from dropping aggro and running around the room wildly.

* If you have melee damage dealers it is safer to assign them to the Dreadbeasts because of Rokad's Superheat and Ravage mechanics.

* Avoid standing near the Dreadbeasts when they are near death, they deal instant AoE damage around themselves when they are killed.

* Avoid standing near Rokad when Superheat is about to activate.

### Phase Three

* Have the main tank take Hyakiss and the off-tank should take the Stalkers. it is recommended that the tank with the most taunts to be the off-tank in this phase.

* Ravage from Rokad and the dreadbeasts can't be interrupted, but you can retaunt right away after the aggro drop.

* If timed correctly, the tank can interrupt the Acid Spit when Hyakiss and the Stalkers are using it, but it is far easier to retaunt them right away after they use Acid Spit.

* Avoid standing in poisonous green puddles left behind by the Coldmist Stalkers when they are killed.

* It is recommended to use one of the tanks to go find Hyakiss in the room where Shadikith was fought because of the Ignite Zones dealing moderate DoT Damage.

* If one of the players in the raid has a pet of some kind, they can use it to discover Hyakiss and the boss will return to his room. A Discipline Priest can also use leap of faith to bring back the player through the wall that was sent to find Hyakiss during Sneak.
