• Skewer

Alizabal is a very basic fight with only three abilities to worry about: Skewer, Seething Hate, and Blade Dance. Begin the fight by stacking up together behind Alizabal in the center of the room. Tanks will need to perform a tank swap whenever they are hit by Skewer as they will be stunned, as well as taking increased damage.

Seething Hate will target a random player and deal AoE damage around them, split between all players in range. This is lethal to a single-player and must be split between the raid, thus the reason we are choosing to stack behind the boss; Blade Dance will begin after the 2nd Seething Hate expires. Blade Dance will cause Alizabal to deflect all attacks for 15 seconds and deals damage to all nearby enemies. For the 15 seconds that this is active, Alizabal will move around the room, changing her target every couple of seconds; if you see her coming towards you, run away from her.

Alizabal has a very large loot table with over 150 items she can possibly drop. The most desired gear will be the item level 397 PvE set piece gloves and legs she can drop for all classes, such as Colossal Dragonplate Handguards and Colossal Dragonplate Legguards. Alizabal can also drop Season 11 PvP set piece gloves and legs, as well as various PvP off-pieces (boots, belts, trinkets, etc.).
