Patch 7.2.5: Eine Übersicht zu Kil’Jaeden im Grabmal des Sargeras

In der vergangenen Woche veranstalteten die Entwickler von World of Warcraft die ersten und möglicherweise sogar einzigen Raidtests für die heroische Version von Kil’Jaeden und erlaubten es allen aktuell auf dem PTR von Patch 7.2.5 spielenden Personen dadurch nun endlich den bisher nie zugänglich gewesenen Endboss des bereits am 21. Juni 2017 in Europa erscheinenden Grabmals des Sargeras auszuprobieren. Passend zu dieser Testphase und der bald anstehenden Veröffentlichung dieses Schlachtzugs soll folgender Artikel nun als informative Übersicht zu Kil’Jaeden fungieren und euch bereits im Vorfeld mit nützlichen Informationen zu den Fähigkeiten dieses Encounters, der bei ihm erhältlichen Beute und des ungefähren Ablaufs des Kampfes versorgen. Zusätzlich dazu wissen wir jetzt durch diese vor Kurzem auf dem PTR durchgeführten Raidtests, dass vor dem eigentlich Kampf gegen diesen Dämonenlord immer ein besonderer Dialog zwischen Kil’Jaeden und dem auf der Seite der Helden von Azeroth kämpfenden Velen abgespielt wird. In diesem besonders für Fans der Lore interessanten Gespräch gehen diese beiden Charaktere ein wenig auf ihre gemeinsame Vergangenheit ein und bezeichnen sich gegenseitig als Verräter an ihrem Volk und den Plänen ihres jeweiligen Gegenübers. Gleichzeitig damit beschießen Velen und Kil’Jaeden sich dauerhaft mit Energiestrahlen aus heiliger Energie und teuflischer Energie, die sich in der Mitte treffen und keinem der beiden Kontrahenten wirklich Schaden zufügen. Wer diesen Dialog nun selbst gerne hören möchte, sich für den Ablauf des Kampfes gegen Kil’Jaeden interessiert oder einfach nur Informationen zu den Fähigkeiten und der Beute dieses Encounters sucht, der sollte einmal einen Blick auf die folgende Übersicht werfen.     Spoiler: Kil’Jaeden und Velen       Der Kampf gegen Kil’Jaeden: (Hinweis: Es wäre möglich, dass Kil’Jaeden ebenfalls eine Mythic Only Phase besitzt. Ob diese Vermutung allerdings stimmt, erfahren wir vermutlich erst nach der Veröffentlichung von Patch 7.2.5.)   Beschreibung: 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.           Die Beute von Kil’Jaeden: Da es sich bei Kil’jaeden um den Endboss des Grabmals des Sargeras handelt, besitzt die bei diesem Boss erhältliche Beute eine um 10 Punkte höhere Gegenstandsstufe als die Gegenstände von den restlichen Bossen (895 LFR, 910 Normal, 925 Hero, 940 Mythic).
