Shade of the Archmage
City of Dalaran · WoW Forever
Overview
The Shade of the Archmage is the source of the disruption shaking Dalaran. It is the last boss of the dungeon.
Strategy
Its spells use up its mana: once it runs dry, it casts Mass Polymorph and then Evocation to restore it. Arcane Bolt hits the tank relentlessly, and Arcane Explosion damages nearby characters: spellcasters stay at maximum range. Bounding Mana sends an orb toward a character and then brings it back: stay spread out. Do not pull it out of its room, or the fight resets.
