I deliberately put the mana pool in for certain mechanics like Mana Burn or Viper Sting...
Just in case, right?
Hey Interest,
Wow the other phases are good (seeming as I haven't read since the first few). The end sequence is fantastic, the cinematic is confronting and thought-provoking, just as I had hoped it would be.
I'm a big Jaina fan and I really liked how you wrote her fighting and falling to Arthas' side as he expired. I kind of wish Thrall had a bigger piece of the pie but I noticed Varian isn't in there getting his hands all messy with rotting flesh so why should Thrall? lol.
I'll be keeping at eye out for that instance you're going to write.
Blizz should take a note from your book, they'll be disappointing a lot of wowhead-lurkers :)
It's a long way coming, and it won't be based too much off Warcraft lore...
Also won't be as extensive as this, since it's many (over 15 so far) bosses. I will, however, try to draw a full instance map...
Edit: I've listed the bosses. There's gonna be 26 separate encounters.

Is this fight even near possible without max gear, chants and gems, the 2 top professions for your class, max buffs all fully upgraded, and the perfectly set team?
Shame it isn't like Sunwell progression, when you could have ten shaman and chain cast Bloodlust.
I can tell you put a lot of work into this, though. Gotta give ya credit for that.
Hopefully you get nearly the same epic in 10 man, don't know about most, but finding a solid 25 man crew, let alone one that can stick for an hour long fight.. I'd have better chances of getting five QD hilts in a day. Why not make QD more of an incentive bonus, instead of a nessary, though? Otherwise, 25 man version of this would be impossible unless the group continuouslly ran ICC5s daily.
From the sounds when it gets to phase 6 and so, you'd want at least three cleansing totems down and abolish disease rolling just so people don't die from disease damage.
Oh, me. Long paragraphs again.
Good work on this, though.
Well...you only need one Quel'delar.
It would be incredibly stupid if everyone in the raid needed one. Hence "aura effect."
Also, I don't think the fight would last an hour...Maybe...20 minutes, based on high raid dps as a whole is at the moment.

Wait you guys said at the begining, you HAVE to have a quel to even try the fight, true?
Is this only on heroic or like 25 man, i dont wanna spend 10k gold on a Quel, or farm the 3 ICC heroics for 300 years just to kill Arthas.
(lets hope SOMEBODY in my guild has a Quel)
Either way.......GREAT info, iv been looking all over wowhead for somthing like this showing exactly how hard lichy is.
The fight I wrote out is not legit.
Chances are you won't need one for the actual fight.

Ugh.. There is just too many spells and etc. This will be really messy fight and almost imbossible. I bet that only couple guilds will be able to do this or blizz got to nerf it first cause its really too hard fight. But i must say the lore&cinematic will be excellent

Agreed...WAY too long and confusing. I lost count of how many phases there are. And the whole "resurrecting Sindragosa" thing is...well, dumb.
Also, 20 minutes? This fight sounds more like an hour or two.

Taking part in an event like this would be absolutely incredible. It would be an amazing experience.
Something very important has been left out though: the players. It's an NPC that deals the final blow, it's the NPCs that take all the glory, that steal the players' thunder. It seems as though the players' only task is to deal damage and handle the adds, they're merely a supporting role for the NPCs. At the end of the event, the raid won't be able to say, "We did it!" Nope, they'll be saying, "Our lords, we trust that we pleased thee, thy indulgence we do crave."
You could "almost" say the same about the Illidan encounter.
Not sure though.

If you read my first post, I removed Sindragosa, and you should therefore just ignore most of my second post. I left it there because I liked it. ^.^
Edit: Also, burning ~70-75 million health in ilvl 277 gear won't even remotely take an hour...
(Just did some math, it takes 14 minutes for 16 dps doing 6k dps apiece to burn through 80 million health. Go figure.)

Well, is it a straight burn from 100% to 0%? I didn't read it all, but I did see some NPC speeches in there.

Well there is. Also, I was counting adds and such.
Besides, 6k dps is more or less than the norm because with full 264s/277s, one should be doing far more on a tank and spank.
And yeah, there are definitely some speeches. The Illidan fight had em too, you know. =)

Also, I edited my first post. Put a disclaimer in. This is not the actual fight that Blizzard made guys.

Nice fight. But it needs to be trimmed down some more, I don't think anyone will be able to finish this without having a stroke.
Can you imagine what kind of pain they'd be in if they wipe on the final phase? :D
Hehe. In fact, yes I do. I don't even know how to trim down the fight more at this point. Everything seems so significant =(.

Also, be on the lookout on the WoW Official Dungeons and Raids forum!
