User:Gcircle/The Lich King

=Introduction=

Just my idea of the Lich King final encounter in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion pack. The fight could take place in top of icecrown Citadel, in a terrace in front of the Frozen Throne. The fight could be similar to the Kael'Thas encounter (Tempest Keep). You face the Scourge high council, then against the Lich King himself.

=Abilities=

Throughout the whole battle, various kinds of non-elite Scourge troops will respawn at a portal near the ice wall.

Phase 1
The Lich King sends his high council to get ride of the intruders and creates a ice wall that prevents you from running out of the area until you are all dead or the Lich King is destroyed:


 * High Necromancer Beira (female human spellcaster): uses Shadow Bolt and raises skeletons from fallen comrades.


 * Crypt Prince Anub'tarok (nerubian rogue): nets players and uses poison attacks.


 * Death Cavalier Crispin (heavy-melee male human death knight): has a powerful melee strike and charges

The Lich King casts the following abilities during the whole encounter:

Raise Dead: if a raid member dies during the whole encounter, the player is resurected by the Lich King and receives the Servant of the Lich King debuff. The affilicted player is MC'ed and gets 2000% stamina, 100% attack/casting speed and causes 50% more damage. While undead, the player can be shackled/trapped/turned/killed and stuff. The player receives the Ruined Corpse debuff when killed that prevents them from resurecting and releasing for 2 minutes.

Death Coil: shadowbolt ability. Can be used to damage a random player or heal an undead player by the same amount.

Phase 2 starts a few seconds after the advisors are killed.

Phase 2
The Lich King himself attacks you. He has a slow but nasty melee hit and berserks after 15 minutes.

Cleave: causes a big amount of damage splited between all melee targets in front of him.

Shatterring Slice: reduces the target's maximum's health by 60%. Similar to Illidan's Shear. Can be blocked/parried/dodged.

Curse of Frostmourne: each succesful melee strike has a chance of causing a non-resistable, non-dispelleble shadow-based DoT effect that lasts 10 seconds.

Death Zone: creates a small black circle area under the target with highest agrro, similar to Netherspite's void circles. They deal massive shadow damage every sec and stay up of 10 seconds.

At 85%, Phase 3 starts.

Phase 3
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner appears on top of the ice wall at the entrance and shoots arrows at the Lich King, causing no threat. The arrows hit hard but do not make that a difference.

The Lich King gains new abilities:

Terror: fears a random player for 10 seconds and places a bad DoT. Damage can be resisted and debuff can be dispelled. The Lich King does this every few seconds.

Soul Flay: 3-second channeling spell. Causes an amount of shadow damage per second and reduces movement/attack/casting speed.

At 60%, Phase 4 starts.

Phase 4
Jaina Proudmoore appears on top of the ice wall at the entrance and aids the raid in the fight, casting powerful spells and gives all nearby players the Brilliance Aura buff, that increases intellect and mana regeneration by a VERY small amount. Note that Jaina causes no agrro and the spells, thought strong, dont make much difference.

The Lich King gains a new ability:

Dead Scar: 5-second cast aoe spell targeted at a random area. The spell is centered at a random raid member. The afficted area turns black and deals a huge amount of shadow damage every second, capable of killing any player in the first 2-5 ticks. The scar will have a 7 yards effect and moves across the area. The black area leaved behind deal less shadow damage over time until it stops and returns to normal (lasts 10 seconds)

At 50%, Phase 5 starts.

Phase 5
The spirits of Uther the Lightbringer and Muradin Bronzebeard appears and start attacking the Lich King with powerul melee strikes. Like Jaina and Sylvanas, they cause no agrro.

The Lich King gains the following ability:

Wrath of the Lich King: an 7-second cast 20 yards AoE that hits with a fatal amount of non-resistable frost damage.

The Dead Scar attack creates two scar effects instead of one.

At 30%, Phase 6 begins.

Phase 6
‎ Enrage: 25% damage and attack/casting speed increase; and uses his abilities in very short cooldowns, and the Dead Scar spell creates three scar effects instead of one. This effect lasts the rest of the fight.

This phase ends as the Lich King is destroyed once and for all! Gratz!
