The Shade of Akama is the dark portion of Akama's soul that binds Akama to Illidan's service. This is the third boss in the Black Temple, the fight is a DPS race and probably the easiest in the instance. After Shade of Akamas is dead, all broken patrols in the instance become friendly.

Overview

After clearing the entire room, the encounter is started by talking to Akama. In the beginning, the Shade of Akama is controlled by the Channelers, and add packs start spawning at the the north and south doorways. The Channelers must all be killed, and the Sorcerers which replace them too. During that time the other adds must be killed as quickly as they spawn. When all Channelers are dead and the Shade of Akama reaches Akama, Phase 2 starts. NOTE: All of the the Sorcerers DO NOT have to be dead in order for phase 2 to start.

Setup

Two groups must be set up to control the adds from the two doorways. Each door needs one tank, one or two mages, one healer and a hunter or two. These groups must kill the add packs entering the room, except the Sorcerers (which cannot be tanked) and the Defenders, which take too long to kill.

One tank with 2-3 healers should stay in the center of the room and tank all Defenders - a Druid tank is optimal for that job.

The remaining damage dealers (namely all melee dps and most warlocks) kill the Channelers and Sorcerers near the Shade of Akama.

Add Packs

Every 35 seconds a three mob group consisting of a Spiritbinder, an Elementalist and a Rogue spawns at each doorway. These adds are all susceptible to Crowd Control. Right after the adds enter the room they should be frozen with a [Frost Nova], two of them should be CC'd and then they should be killed one after the other. Usually the Spiritbinder or Elementalist are killed first, the Rogue last.

Phase 2

After the Shade of Akama is released it kills Akama within 60 seconds. The whole raid (including most healers) must nuke the Shade to bring it down first. The Defender tank and his healers need to continue doing their job, any remaining adds should be crowd controlled.
