Kel'Thuzad

Your character vs. Kel'ThuzadCalculate DPS

Official Overview (Blizzard)

Kel'Thuzad can only be truly defeated once his phylactery is destroyed. Until then, when Kel'Thuzad reaches 0 health remaining he calls forth his minions to protect him while the phylactery opens and empowers him. During this window, players may enter the phylactery and attempt to destroy the Remnant of Kel'Thuzad. Once fully recovered, Kel'Thuzad gains a stack of Necrotic Surge and engages the players once more. When the Remnant is destroyed, the phylactery shatters and Kel'Thuzad summons a Deep Freeze to unleash all his power before death can finally take him.
