PSA now that Dragronflight makes this fight soloable by most classes. You can out DPS the phases causing the dark phase to bug and not get Illidan. Best to DPS "slowly".
It happened to me minutes ago, I don't know how I killed but it was the longest 4% I've ever seen, lol total darkness and just trying to hit him, when all misses
Only with high level gear, Blizz keeps nerfing classes in relation to legacy raids so the top geared players having something remotely resembling a challenge. Good luck doing this on an alt with level 350 gear.
If you're like me and doing this in Dragonflight and wondering why the Darkness phase keeps bugging: Don't kill any of the shadows until you lose your sight. For some reason, it bugs out and thinks the phase has been complete, even if you've only killed one of the five.. I waited until I lost my vision, then killed the shades, and finished the fight without any hiccups.
Date 08/14/2024 End of Dragonflight You can dps hard enough to skip the shadow guys completely. that being said I would have never figured out those orbs without your video. so thank you!
Hey just a note on the orbs for darkness phase, they always spawn in the same place,s Top right, bottom right, bottom left, top left. So you can go clockwise with the knockback.
It has since been nerfed, you don't really need to find Illidan. Whenever he begins to cast the darkness, you can just go and kill 1 of the shadows and it immediately ends the phase, which is a relief as you can also avoid any singularities during the dark. I just killed it on my Pally and didn't even need to find Illidan, good luck to all Tmog farmers out there!
Also had this bugg for like third time in a row. Darkness Phase comes. Illidan does not spawn. I kill all the adds. Phase doesnt end like it should. And unable to hit the Boss im doomed to wipe
after i failed quite a few times at the orbs. here is my way i did it....and its quite easy. look where the first orb falls and place yourself as close as possible to it but in the direction the next orb comes down. it should push you there so you only have a few meters to walk to the next postion. and repeat.
This fight is bugged to hell for me. First no Illidan. Then right before I find Illidan the boss just resets! After that I manage to find Illidan but nothing happens. Dumb.
in dragonflight with decent gear you will kill him before the darkness fall with most classes but with Feral for example I cant do enough damage in time so this actually helped me. Thank you
managed to do it in the end after 10+ tries or so. The orbs bug out. Randomly. Sometimes they kockback, sometimes they dont. I just got lucky one time. I play dk.
one of the worst balanced mythic boss fights in the wow s history... bring few classes plus very good players...back in time... dark orbs werent that hard, but tunning itself was absolutly crazy, ton of unavoidable dmg +crazy mobility requirements .... i am still haunted by this fight :D.
tbh wasnt even a problem. cleared the ghosts immediately and i could see again. way before the bomb went off. also only spawned 1 for me, assuming its due to the short lenght of that phase.
not working the boss is heavy i whiped by the shitting orbs.I am to slow i mußt serach the orb i have found i ran to teh orbs and kick.Please nerft the orbs.Phase one
Came here to see if this was happening to anyone else, couldn't find illidan despite sprinting across the entire platform and just died to the bombs I couldn't see
I recorded a Mythic Gul'dan guide just now. I'm not happy with how the video turned out so I'll re-record it tomorrow on reset and then upload the video! Stay tunned.
I know this is a year late, but to add onto what Momentine said: this works with any ability that resets aggro as long as it's not on the GCD. If you attack immediately after using it, your aggro won't reset. I use this to proc my crit legendary as a Rogue by using Vanish and then immediately using a damaging ability.
So in other words, it's near impossible if you don't have a ton of mobility and self heals. Every way you deal with a mechanic is SPECIFIC to hunters. Not everyone has - forcing aggro onto a pet with MD, disengage, turtle, exhilaration, feign death, soulshape, etc. This fight is so fucking ridiculous, I can't believe Blizzard is too stupid to scale this properly.
when you hear his voice for the first time when it goes dark, I looked around and saw his text box as he was speaking and ran straight to that area. He was right there.
this ABSOLUTELY is ridiculous for me, he fcking spams those orb THREE at once, its literally impossible! even with heroic leap I can fcking do this at all, is this a joke or smth??
