The Fourth Boss

High Priest Thekal

Abilities: Charge, Mortal Cleave, Summon Zulian Guardians, Force Punch, Silence

Location: In the eastern room (7)

Type: Beast/Humanoid

Strategy

LIke his predecessors, you should clear his room of mobs to make the fight easier. Thekal is accompanied by four creatures: Zealot Lor'Khan, Zealot Zath, and two elite tigers.

The encounter takes place across two phases.

Phase 1

During the pull, start by killing both tigers. Following this, all three bosses should be tanked by separate players away from each other.

Thekal should be tanked and focused last, while Lor'Khan should be tanked by an offtank, alongside a class that can interrupt his healing spells (preferably a Rogue).

Finally, Zath will repeatedly Gouge the player tanking him, so you should have a secondary tank taunt the boss when this occurs. Zath also has access to a mass Blind, which will split up your raid.

To manage this phase, you'll have to kill all three bosses at the same time. To accomplish this you should focus down one of the three bosses to 15%, then repeat on a new target until you've weakened all three, at which point you should group them and AoE them down.

Phase 2

Once all three bosses are dead, Thekal will respawn as a tiger, resetting aggro and dealing heavy damage to you tank and the rest of the raid at the same time.

It's essential that the boss is pulled to the corner of the room, with the raid being positioned in the opposite corner to avoid taking AoE damage. Every time Thekal casts Force Push, the boss will reset aggro and your second tank should take over.

In addition, Thekal will summon several tigers throughout this phase, which must be CC'd to reduce damage dealt to the healers (Fear, Roots, Sleep, Sheeps). Once the boss is dead, the tigers will disappear.
