bryzan: ? Inhibit Magic (Aura): After you have cleared the bridge, as soon as you get near the stairway you will notice an aura affecting you -- similar to the Baron Rivendare aura, but ranges to around 40 yards or more. You can't avoid it. However, this aura inhibits your magic. If your big heal or fireball casting time is 3 seconds, with the Inhibit Magic aura it will double or triple its casting duration. It stacks up to 4 times depending on how close you are to him. ie Tank has 4, healers and casters should be at max range and have only 1.

? Carnivorous Bite: On cloth-gear, Carnivorous Bite does over 914 - 1,359 damage. And can inflict it three times in a row for a total of over 3,000 damage. Leather wearers tick for around 450 damage and so on. Don't stay near him too long if you aren't a melee player. Not dispellable that I can see.

? Telekinesis: Shirrak will randomly toss you into the air and pull you from afar toward him. He does this for no good intention. Stop casting and run back to your position.

? Fire Bomb (AOE): When you see a red-orange glow below his tentacles, you should worry. It will tell you on your scrren that you are being targeted. You will also see a flare at your feet. He is channeling a fire bomb AOE. You can run away and escape the fireball if you carefully watch your screen and the ground for flares. Do not try to walk away from it or back up, you have to iether turn and run or strafe side to side. Upon impact, the bomb spreads nearly 20 yards afflicting everyone within its radius for 2,500+ damage. He does fire bomb every 12 seconds.

STRATEGY

There are basically two strategies to beat Shirrak the Dead Watcher.

First: Tell your team to take positions. Imagine a square. It has four corners. Two players on the left, and two players on the right -- if most are ranger/casters. The tank needs to pull him to one of the square corners. Your priest or main healer needs to survive. Therefore, the priest goes by the stairs -- this helps priests avoid the fire bomb. The square-position helps a lot because when everyone is spread, the fire-bomb won't cause damage to more than two players.

Second: Priests and/or druids save the day. Cast instant spells. Priests should cast renew on everyone starting with yourself, the tank, then everyone else. The only player you should use Big Heal is the tank -- because the aura of Shirrak slows the casting time of your big heal's 3 seconds-cast to nearly 10 seconds. Power-Word: Shield is the most important part of this boss event. Shield all players the whole length of the event and toss a renew. Make sure to redo Power-Word Shield once Soul Weakness is over. Don't wait until people gets damage. Just spam renew on all players, then a shield on each player. Then redo until Shirrak is dead. You won't need mana pots, but take a few just in case.

This is a no-joke boss. He means business with that fire bomb. Once you know how to position yourself, and how to run away from the fire bomb, it is easy.

Shamans should place a Mana totem at the center of the square and help toss instant-heals to the tank. Hunter, Mage or Warlocks should bandage themselves or bandage the priest at all times when possible. Tanks can optionally drink a fire resistance potion. If everyone DPS and watches the fire bomb, and the priest has done a good job rotating renews and shield, Shirrak the Dead Watcher will die in one minute and fourty-five seconds. (1:45)
