UNDER CONSTRUCTION related to Spider Kingdom Expansion Concept

The Halls of Reflection is the third and last wing of the Icecrown Citadel instances. Once the private inner sanctum of the former Lich King, it has been almost completely abandoned by the new lord of the Scourge. Velius and the Twilight's Hammer of Northrend have infiltrated this area, in search of the great saronite necropolis, Malykriss, the Vile Hold..


Lore

When the Knights of the Ebon Blade rebelled against the Lich King, they took with them the mighty necropolis Acherus, the Ebon Hold. In response to the loss of this most potent weapon, the Lich King devised an even more powerful fortress to replace it - Malykriss, the Vile Hold. Constructed completely of the dark metal saronite, the solidified blood of Yogg-Saron himself, Malykriss was to be the ultimate weapon of the Lich King, a mobile engine of destruction that would carry his will to all the corners of Azeroth.

The Lich King was defeated before he could unleash the power of Malykriss, but the dark structure was actually completed prior to his fall. It has lain dormant within the depths of Icecrown, waiting. Visions of the powerful fortress have filled Velius' mind since he bonded saronite armor to his own flesh. The whispers of the Old Gods demand that he seize the vessel for the forces of Twilight. And so he shall.

Nearly all of Velius' lieutenants have been sacrificed in order for him to reach the Halls of Reflection. All that stands between the heroes of the Alliance and the Horde is Twilight Lord Xarosan, the last of Velius' subordinates.

Strategy

Halls of Reflection is the hardest heroic 5-man in the game. Most groups will find the most challenging part to be the waves of trash before the first two bosses. The mobs hit very, very hard, and several of them are ranged, making them difficult for tanks to corral.

LoS Stategy

Before each wave of trash before Falric and Marwyn, everyone except the tank hides in the corner of the left alcove, out of the line of site of all mobs. The four players (healer and 3 DPS) stand on top of each other. The tank stands in the middle of the alcove in plain view.

When the mobs activate, the tank allows the melee mobs to reach him, and uses abilities (e.g., Thunder Clap) to aggro them. The ranged mobs may aggro on the tank immediately, or, having aggrod on a hidden party member, will have to run past the tank to reach their targets. In the latter case, the tank's close-range aggro abilities can be used to take aggro. In this way all of the mobs in the wave will be aggro'd onto the tank.

The tank then runs into the corner (where the other party members are hiding) to force the remaining ranged mobs to run to him. As soon as the tank reaches the corner (but not before), the other party members leave and spread out in the alcove. All mobs are within AoE range of the tank and the fight can proceed on the party's terms.

A similar tactic can be used while fleeing from the Lich King. There is a recess in front of each of the four ice walls raised by the Lich King. These can be used to force attackers into close range, if all party members cluster there as the attack begins.

Crowd Control Strategy

The other approach fights in the open. Players must dust off long-neglected crowd control abilities. Spell nature slow [Shackle Undead], Spell nature stranglevines [Entangling Roots], Spell holy prayerofhealing [Repentance], Ability paladin turnevil [Turn Evil], Spell frost freezingbreath [Frost Trap] are all very useful. Silencing casters and using Ability hunter misdirection [Misdirection] or Ability rogue tricksofthetrade [Tricks of the Trade] on melee mobs will help the tank hold aggro. Everyone who can interrupt spells should do so. Mindlessly maximizing DPS will lead to wipes - intelligently controlling the mobs will lead to victory.
