Illidan Stormrage Illustrated Guide
People liked our Leo and Vashj strats so we decided to post these here too. Doodled by me and [info]scorpio_angel, the long overdue guide for Illidan :] Hope you enjoy!









Here's the other ones we did for the curious :]

Despite how intensely AMAZINGLY cute these illustrations are, it's actually a really helpful breakdown of the fight. Sometimes raid strategies get so caught up in describing mechanics that I often can't get a good summary of what the fight entails. :) Thanks for being so helpful :D

Yeah I agree, often when I havn't experienced a fight yet and read the strat I get overwhelmed by all the stuff you read and the fight sounds very difficult. But when you do the actual fight you see that it's really not that complicated at all.

I did RoS for the first time last night, it being my raid's second night downing him. I pored over the strats, and every boss mechanic was outline and I was freaking out and was like OMG P3 OMG WHAT DO I DO (I'm a mage), and my class peers just sat me down and said:

1.) Pew pew.
2.) Don't pull aggro.
3.) Don't die.

Because frankly, ranged (especially mages) don't have a lot of moving or things to worry about. Made the fight a bit more easy to follow after that :D

Haha yeah that was one of the fights that really boggled my mind too when I read it. We thought phase 3 was going to be really hard but as soon as we hit that phase we oneshot him. We were all pretty amazed at that lol.

We had a bunch of wipes because of rogues on the kicking and stuff, but on our final try (and downing) I managed to die on p2 because I pewpewed for 10K, 9K and 9k. :/ Durrrrr. :B

THIS. IS. BRILLIANT. There needs to be a tag so people can find them easily and get lots of highly necessary giggles on a Monday morning. XD

'Course, now when I do get to Illidan, I won't be able to fight him with a straight face. You guys' fault! :P

You did leave out the part where you go back the next week and he's all, "WHY U HAZ MAH GLAIVES? RAWR!" ^.~
