Your character vs. Kil'jaedenCalculate DPS

Official Overview (Blizzard)

Players engage Kil'jaeden on his command ship, engaging both him and the Shadow Reflections of their comrades' souls that he turns to his will. At 80% health, Kil'jaeden takes to the sky, launching a punishing barrage of attacks on players, after which he re-engages the players with greater power. At 40% health, Kil'jaeden wraps the platform in darkness, limiting players' vision to a short range around them, and summons several Shadowsouls. Players must find Illidan in the darkness, who grants the players his sight, and use it to defeat the Shadowsouls and dispel the darkness. Once players have escaped the darkness, Kil'jaeden arrives at Argus and unleashes his ultimate attack - Darkness of a Thousand Souls. Players must use the rifts that he opens to absorb the missiles from Darkness of a Thousand Souls to avoid being killed by them.

Tanks

• Alternate tanks on Kil'jaeden to avoid Felclaws stacking too high. • When Kil'jaeden casts Armageddon, one of the missiles will be much larger than the others. This is Armageddon Hail, and a tank should move to intercept this.

Healers

• Heal Hopeless Reflections to minimize the effects of Hopelessness. • Avoid the effects of Darkness of a Thousand Souls by moving close enough to the rifts created by Tear Rift to be affected by Gravity Squeeze. • Move into Armageddon Rain to avoid the affects of Armageddon Blast.

Damage Dealers
