Respondiendo a los anteriores: en Wolrd of Warcraft hay dos maneras de jugar las mazmorras de máximo nivel de cada expansión, Normal y Heroico, y se diferencian en la dificultad y en los drops. No os digo cuál es la más difícil, os dejo que lo mediteis un rato.

Illidan Tempestira,tambien llamado El Traidor,por traicionar a su especie corrompiéndose a sí mismo con la calavera de gul'dan.
este cazador de demonios emprendió un largo viaje hacia el trono de hielo,para matar al rey lich(ner'zhul)por orden de kil'jaeden,para esto,convocó a los nagas de lady vashj.
Tiempo más adelante,lady vashj convenció a Kael'thas para que él y su ejercito de elfos sanguinarios los ayudaran en la tarea.Para esto,ultilizaron el portal que abrio Kel'thuzad para transportarse a terrallende.
Una vez alli,emprendio camino,y se encontro con Akama y su raza de draenianos,los cuales pidieron ayuda para recuperar el templo que magtheridon habia tomado.entre todas sus fuerzas los vencieron e illidan prclamo el templo como suyo y tambien rey de los demonios sirvientes de magtheridon,ahora este templo es conocido como el Templo Oscuro
cuando por fin llegaron a destino,arthas lo esperaba ahi y ahi mismo lo mató

conclusion:hizo todo el viaje al divino botón xD

Comentario de 358604

see se gasto para ke lo mate Arthas jeje bt no necesita llave y no es el boss mas poderoso del juego recuerden a kil'jaeden ke tiene el doble de vida y poder

^^ saludos gente

espero ke sirva de algo mi post

Comentario de 203229

El Templo Oscuro actualmente no necesita llave (pues la entrada es un boquete en una pared xD) pero tenias que hacer una serie de misiones LARGA para conseguir la armonización. Ah, y si tan "fácil" te parece espero que muestres el logro de haberlo hecho antes de La Ira del Rey Lich. Ah, eso si, Kil'Jaeden claro que era mas duro, era el último jefe de la última banda de la expansión y ademas una de las bandas mas duras habidas.

Comentario de 447687

Illidan Tempestira es llamado el traidor por que en un inicio traiciono a Elfos con la reina Azhara al kerer crear otro poso de la eternidad , despues consumio la calavera de Gul'dan traicionando de nuevo a su hermano y fue desterrado y reclutado por Kil'jaden pero al ayudar a salvar a Tyrande de los muertos traiciono a Kil'jaden y se escondio en terrallende pero como Kil'jaden lo encontro tuvo q ir al trono de hielo donde fue vencido por Arthas y regreso herido a Terrallende donde gobierna y asi traiciono a Akama osea el traiciona a todos x eso es el traidor XD

Comentario de 505171

kien es mas fuerte? este o kil´jaeden?

Comentario de 539886

ps para mi yo creo que es mas fuerte el Rey Lich XD

Comentario de 656255

kill'jaeden es mas fuerte hay va una pregunta para los ke penseis creeis que alamuerte (deathwing)
sera un boss final (tipo arthas) o sera un boss señuelo tipo illidan (nota pa los avispados cualquera con dos dedos de frente save que illidan es un boss señuelo se le dio protagonismo pero preparaba el terreno para kill jaeden)y si alamuerte es un boss señuelo como sera el boss final?
pensadlo sin insultarse ni discriminar los reinos ofi ni privados.

Comentario de 671066

En el caso d q Alamuerte (Deathwing), sea un boss señuelo como illidan, seguramente y si yo fuese un ejecutivo d Blizzard... resucitaría a Sargeras...
Nada más q añadir...

Comentario de gemanoma

Illidan era antes un Alto elfo o Elfo nocturno?

Comentario de duboy

Que yo sepa era elfo nocturno hace ya muchos años que juge al Warcraft III pero ssi mal no recuerdo lo deterraron los propios elfos o algo de eso. Si alguien lo sabe con certeza que lo diga please pues no me acuerdo muy bien

Comentario de Taranar

Illidan es hermano de Malfurion Tempestira.
Illidan pertenecia a una hermandad de guerreros que se hacian llamar Cazadores de Demonios, cuales se cegaban asi mismo para poder ver la magia demoniaca con mas facilidad (esa es la razon de las vendas en los ojos).
Las espadas de Illidan pertenecian a Azzinoth, un demonio asesinado por el.

Illidan ha luchado con tanta pasión a los demonios que terminó convirtiendose en uno. Fue mandado a prisión por su propio hermano y Cenarius. Estaba enamorado de Tyrande.

Eso es todo lo que sé.

Comentario de 700610

Illidab fue un elfo nocturno de la nobleza, mago de la casta de altos elfos (los originales), convencido por shan´do se unió a la resistencia contra azshara y los demonios que querían hacer entrar al mundo a Sargeras. Ambas armas de este personaje le pertenecieron a un demonio que mató, esta ciego porque sargeras le quitó los ojos para ponerle orbes que pudieran detectar la magia. Fue encerrado por poner agua del pozo de la eternidad en el lago bajo el Nordrassil y se convirtió en demonio por absorver los poderes de la calavera de Gul´dan y dominarlos.
Se volvió loco tras fracasar su misión de destruir al rey Lich y ahora espera impaciente en el Templo Oscuro, fortaleciendo su ejercito, el castigo que Kil´jaeden le dará

Espero haberlos ilustrado un poco

Comentario de MatiSali23

segun la historia del warcraft 3, illidan moria a manos de arthas, pero en world of warcraft sigue vivo, y recluido en la fortaleza que le robo a magtheridon: el templo oscuro.

eso tambien difiere de la historia original, porque estaba situada en lo que seria peninsula del fuego infernal, pero en el wow esta instancia queda en el valle sombraluna.

Comentario de 364067

Saben de su vida en guerra pero no saben su comienzo ps
El nacio con ojos dorados cosa q no era comun entre los elfos y significaba q tendria un gran destino claro q ahora en blizzard todos los elfos tiene los ojos dorados para hacer esta creencia claro
Actualmente no se le puede clasificar como demonio o elfo tal y como dijo Maiev Cantosombrio: "No es un demonio ni un elfo nocturno, sino algo más"
Fue desterrado por Cenarius y su hermano por robar y crear un nuevo pozo de la eternidad ya q el era adicto a la magia y llamaria de nuevo a la Legion Ardiente
Estana enamorado de Tyrande al igual q su hermano Pero ella eligio a Malfurion. Esto hizo q Illidan se fuera de la guerra con sus guerreros
Al terminar la guerra Illidan fue al Monte hyjal y ahi hecho las botellas llenas de agua del Pozo de la Eternidad y poco despues fue expulsado por Los Kaldorei
Maiev Cantosombrio se ofrecio a ser la carcelera del traidor y estuvo encerrado por 10.000 años
Fue liberado por Tyrande en un desesperado intento por salvar Kalimdor de la llegada de La Legion Ardiente
Illidan no agradecio a Tyrande como debio ya q cuando fuea liberado se hizo con la Calavera de Gul'Dan Y desde ese entonces dejo de ser un Elfo Nocturno
Malfurion vio a su hermano y sin dudarlo le dijo q se fuera e Illidan acató
Dias despues fue visitado por Kil'jaeden Kien le ofrecio la ultima oportunidad de servir a la Legión destruyendo El Trono de Hielo
Illidan necesitaba aliados para cumplir su tarea asi q despertó a los Nagas antes connocidos como los Quel'dorei Servidores de Azshara quien envio a Lady Vashj
Aun seguia siendo cazado por Maiev pero logro huir al secuestrar un barco y fue a las Islas Abruptas donde el nació y donde Gul'dan habia levantado hace 20 años y el Hogar de la Tumba de Sargeras
Maiev aun asi logro llegar tambien pero no logro cazar a Illidan antes de q este se hiciera con el Ojo de Sargeras Maiev logro Huir de la tumba pero perdio a sus aliados
Illidan llego a Dalaran para usar el Ojo y Destruir EL Trono Helado pero Malfurion y Maiev lograron detenerlo junto con Kael'thas un alto elfo y sobreviviente de la Caida de Quel'thalas
(Maiev y Tyrande ayudaron a Kael a Pasar el Rio pero en ese intento Tyrande cayo al rio mientras era perseguida por los Muertos Vivientes, A Maiev no le importo mucho la caida de la Sacerdotisa con tal de destruir a Illidan)
Illidan dijo q intentaba destruir a Ner'zhul el lider de los muertos vivientes el enemigo comun
Malfurion estaba cegado por la meurte de su amada pero en es ese momento Kael interrumpe Diciendo q Tal vez siga viva, Malfurion Enojado por la mentira de Maiev la arresta e Illidan se ofrece para salvarla ya q aun con todo lo q paso Illidan la seguia amando
Despues de salvarla Illidan y Malfurion alfin deja el conflicto q tuvieron hace ams de 10.000 años
Illidan tuvo q huir para no ser cazado por Maiev y huyo hacia las Tierras Devastadas para no ser encontrado por Kil'jaeden
Aun asi fue capturado por Maiev pero no por mucho tiempo ya q Kael y Vashj lo salvaron (Kael se vuelve aliado de Illidan al ser ayudado por Vashj y expulsado por Garithos de las fuerzas de la Alianza)
Despues de esto Planearon Derrotar a Magtheridon el q gobernaba esas Tierras y para que este no pida Refuerzos cerraron las Puertas Dimensionales q comunicaba con el Vacio Abisal
Mientras tanto Ayudaron a Akama destruyendo a los Orcos Fel
Todos Juntos Elfos, Nagas y Draenianos Asaltaron la Ciudadela Negra y Derrotaron a Magtheridon
Dias despues una Neblina Roja viene al Templo oscuro y aparece Kil'jaeden y le dijo q lo ultimo q podia hacer para no perder la vida era ir a Rasganorte y Destruir Corona de hielo
Asi q illidan y sus aliados fuero a rasganorte
Pelearon Contra Anub'arak y Arthas quien fue llamado por Ner'zhul atravez de Agonia de Escarcha para no ser destruido
Aun asi Illidan llego a Corona de Hielo e intento hacer con los Obeliscos Para poder entrar lamentablemente no puedo contra Arthas y no logro hacerce con ellos aun asi En las puertas del Trono helado Peleo contra Arthas pero se descuido y Arthas lo corto en 2 partes abriendole el estomago
Aunque parecia muerto estaba muy herido y fue auxiliado por Vashj y Kael al saber de su fracaso huyen a Terrallende para no ser perseguidos por la cólera de Kil'jaeden kien no a olvidado su fracaso
Illidan alista orcos viles para q peleen por el
Sin razon aparente Illidan declara la Guerra a Shttrath en ves de aliarse
Kael'thas es Enviado para conquistar la ciudad pero en vez de eso pierde a muchos elfos sanguinarios quienes se hacen aliados de los naaru
La Alianza y La Horda por fin llegan al Templo Oscuro a atacar a illidan y este se ve sorprendido no por la llegada de los heroes sino por q Akama estaba ellos quien era el carcelero de Maiev
Illidan aun asi peleo Y casi debilitado ve a Maiev q ya no queria cazarlo sino matarlo y asi fue Illidan no puedo mas y murio con sus ultimso respiros le dijo a Maiev q su vida ya no tiene Sentido ya q el murio En efecto Maiev estuvo 10.000 años encarcelando a illidan y cazandolo y ahora q murio no sabia q hacer
Esa es la vida q Tuvo Illidan
PD: Es lo q se y no copie nada :)
Me se la vida de este personaje por q es muy interesante

Comentario de MrBloodyshadow

Consultar la biografía de este peculiar ser en http://es.wow.wikia.com/wiki/Illidan.

Comentario de Arkael

El ultimo jefe de el templo oscuro:

este boss consta de 3 fases:

1° Fase: Illidan empieza a combatir, el main tank debe tankearlo y los dps deben ponerse detras de la espalda, la razon de esto es que si lo hacen illidan ira recuperando la vida mientras mas adversarios esten en frente de el (Extraer alma). Ademas, el tanke debe moverlo al rededor del circulo (sin acercalo mucho al centro) ya que el ira soltando Colisión de llamas por el suelo, esta de mas decir que los dps deben moverse de ella y evitarla a toda costa ya que sufriran mucho.

2° Fase: Al 65% de la vida, Illidan volara por los cielos y empesara a atacar con Bola de Fuego a diversos objetivos, y con Rá^&*a de llamas al rededor del circulo del medio. Debido a esto, todos deben situarse en el medio para no morir. otra de las acciones que hara sera lanzar Hoja de Azzinoth, invocando asi Llama de Azzinoth al rededor del circulo (solo dos) deben ser tankeadas, una por el main y otra por el off, hay que centrar el ataque en una y luego en la otra, para asi acabar rapido con ellas

Al acabar con las llamas Illidan volvera a la fase 1, tal y como se explica arriba.

3° Fase: Illidan se transforma en demonio ganando nuevas habilidades, y siendo intanqueable para un tanke normal. es muy recomendable que se lo tanquee un brujo en forma de demonio, ya que ganara gran resistencia contra susTromba oscura, o bien puede serlo tambien un sacerdote sombra. En esta fase nos mantendremos alejados los unos de los otros debido a que lanza Explosión de sombras e iremos matando Maligno de las Sombras parasitario, porque sino nos mataran.

Para terminar con el aparecera Maiev Cantosombrío quien sera nuestro nuevo main tank, nadie mas que ella debe tankearlo en sus fases normales, y repetira tanto la fase 1 como la fase 3 hasta morir, obviamente en la fase 3 siempre lo debera tankear el brujo (o sacerdote) en el medio y los demas alejados y matando malignos.

Jefe final del Templo oscuro y de los mejores personajes de Wow sin duda, aun así lo sacaron muy temprano y tuvieron que colocar a Kil'jaeden como boss final de la TBC.

Comentario de archymago

Dentro de los drops de este boss se encuentra la Coselete del vencedor olvidado el cual en conbinacion con dos partes del set, resulta ser muy bueno para mago pvp, dado las ranuras que este posee.
Pero es remplazable directamente por el set de nivel 78 que fabrican los sastres.

Final boss of the Black Temple.

Comentario de samarium

He conjectures that your level of preparation could perhaps be improved somewhat.

Comentario de 17619

Im sorry but you are here very wrong..
First; Illidan Stormrage was never a druid. His brother was trained in the druidism ways and yes Malfurion Stormrage is know as a druid.. Illidan was addicted to the arcane magic, just like the Blood Elf he eagered to become..

Druidism was about following the natures ways, the Arcane magic was to controll the magic to your will.
It was the High born and Azshara that controlled the Arcane Magic from their magic Well of Eternity; given from the Pantheon..

Illidan got addicted to the arcane magic and when Azshara started to allie with Sargaras; Enemy of all life, Malfurion and Tyrande wanted to destroy it with the help of every demigod they know.. Illidan, that was addiced could not left them destroy the Well of Eternity, so he warned Azshara, which nearly cost Tyrande her life.

For that he was called Betrayer and was locked away for 10.000 years to Tyrande released him and set him loose in the world again.. There he gets the Skull of Guldan.. Story dont tell if it was Guldans skull or an artifact made by him, but it contains a lot of his memories.. it also cost him his soul and he gets "neither demon nor nightelf, but something more."
Last he did not betray the Dreanei, but when he meets them, they are almost crushed by the fell orcs, and they make an alliance where Illidan helps them to get revenge on the fell orcs and Illidan gets the throne of Outland..

Defeat to Arthas made him mad and paranoid..

Comentario de Corbis

It should be noted that the 'altered history' referenced is the official history of the Warcraft setting.

Illidan (aka The Betrayer), twin brother of Malfurion, practiced the Highborne magic. In his youth, he attempted to master the druidic forces, as his brother had, but the sorcery called to him in a way that the magic of the land did not. Unlike this brother, Illidan was born with golden eyes, at the time a sign of a great destiny - however, this actually indicated inherent druidic potential . When Malfurion and Tyrande had found their destiny, Illidan was still searching for his. Though not a Highborne himself, he became the personal caster of the military leader Ravencrest.

When Archimonde's invasion of Azeroth had begun and Azshara's treachery became known, Malfurion convinced Illidan to leave his queen. Illidan followed his brother. But as Cenarius and the Dragons entered the battle, Malfurion came to understand that their adversaries were too powerful to fall in combat. To end the invasion, he plotted the destruction of the Well of Eternity.

The idea appalled Illidan. The Well was the source of his magic - and likely of the elves' immortality - and its loss was a price far too dear for him to pay. In addition, the Night Elf found that he increasingly admired the powers of the Burning Legion, seeing a magical purity that underlay their chaotic behavior. Where the Night Elves struggled to maintain their ground, the Burning Legion seemed to grow ever stronger. . The Satyr Xavius seized upon his doubts, exploiting his confusion to plant seeds of distrust into Illidan's mind.

Illidan had strong feelings for Tyrande Whisperwind, a novice priestess in the Sisters of Elune. Illidan so desired to impress Tyrande that he often acted without thinking, particularly in magic; he never realized that these displays weren't quite what the priestess was looking for in a mate. But while Illidan struggled to win her heart, none of them realized that the battle was over soon after it had begun; Tyrande had chosen Malfurion almost from the beginning. Xavius magically planted the suggestion in Illidan's mind that if Malfurion were to die, Illidan would no longer have a rival for Tyrande's love. Finally the sight of Tyrande in the arms of his brother Malfurion shattered his final link with the defenders

Illidan, with a new plan spurred into his mind, journeyed to Zin-Azshari. There he feigned allegiance to Azshara and Mannoroth. Illidan's plan was to obtain the Demon Soul, an artifact of great power created by Deathwing, which had the ability to close the portal which was allowing the demons to enter Kalimdor. However to put this plan in action, Illidan had to gain more power.

Illidan was eventually brought before Sargeras himself, who quickly doscovered the nigh elf's plan to obtain the Demon Soul for the Legion. Sargeras was pleased with this plan, and gave Illidan a "gift" in return for his allegiance. Illidan's eyes were gouged out, and orbs of mystic fire set in their place that allowed Illidan to see all forms of magic, and arcane tatoos covered his body. Azshara was fascinated by the "new" Illidan (who was wary of her advances), but remained cautious, sending Captain Varo'then to accompany Illidan, in his search for the Demon Soul.

After the Great Sundering, Illidan scaled the peaks of Mount Hyjal, where he found a small, tranquil lake. There he poured the contents of three of the vials into the waters. The chaotic energies quickly manifested, tainting the lake and twisting it into a new Well of Eternity. Illidan's joy was short-lived however, when his brother, Tyrande, and the rest of the kaldorei leadership discovered him- and all were horrified at what he'd done.

Unable to accept that his brother had committed such treachery, Malfurion tried again to explain to Illidan the folly of his ways. The magic, he insisted, was chaotic by nature, and it could only bring about destruction so long a

Comentario de Corbis

(continued)

Unable to accept that his brother had committed such treachery, Malfurion tried again to explain to Illidan the folly of his ways. The magic, he insisted, was chaotic by nature, and it could only bring about destruction so long as it existed. Illidan refused to listen, so enraptured by the magic's power that his brother seemed to him an unknowing fool. His preservation of the Well, he thought, vindicated his treachery. He had saved the power. Future generations would know magic. Sorcery would not perish.

The lack of remorse shook Malfurion to his core and he raged at his brother, understanding now that Illidan was lost forever to the magic's sway. He ordered him imprisoned deep below Hyjal in a jail kept far from sight and mind. To Tyrande he confessed his greatest fear: if Illidan were ever freed from his prison, his reckless use of the magic would lure the demons back to Azeroth - Illidan was probably the single most powerful user of the arcane left.

Comentario de Corbis

(continued)

Illidan languished for 10,000 years in a lightless prison. Califax, a Keeper of the Grove, and a contingent of night elves kept constant guard over the Betrayer. Release came at the unexpected hands of Tyrande, who slaughtered the night elf guards in the hopes of using Illidan against the Legion, which had returned to Azeroth at the hands of the Scourge. His love for Tyrande undampened through the millennia of confinement, Illidan agreed to help. He swore to throw back the Legion and to depart from the night elves forever.

Malfurion opposed Tyrande's decision, thinking the murder of the guards vile and the release of Illidan a catastrophic mistake. Frustrated that his brother remained unchanged and eager to prove to him that the demons had no hold over him, Illidan left Malfurion behind, leading a force of night elves into Felwood to hunt down the Legion. While in Felwood, he encountered Arthas, Champion of the Lich King, and they engaged in combat. The fighters were equally matched, and the combatants reached an impasse. Illidan stopped the duel and demanded to know why Arthas had tracked him. Arthas responded openly, telling Illidan about the Skull of Gul'dan, the demonic artifact that had corrupted Felwood. He explained that if the artifact were destroyed, the corruption of the forests would halt. To ensure that Illidan would take the bait, Arthas spared no detail of the Skull's power, adding that his master knew of Illidan's thirst for power.

Comentario de Corbis

(continued)

Although Illidan did not trust Arthas, he nevertheless sought the Skull and its power out.

Illidan became a black demon after consuming the power of the Skull of Gul'dan

A great Demon Gate defended the Skull as Illidan and his forces had to fight mightily to gain access to the artifact. Driven by necessity and influenced by the belief that with the increased power, he could at last redeem himself in the eyes of Malfurion, he shattered the demonic seal and consumed the Skull.

Strength he found but peril greater than power came to him at once.

The battle for control of the Skull came with a heavy price and the artifact's powers changed him. Transformed into a demon, Illidan wrapped himself in shadow and utterly decimated Tichondrius and his forces. But with victory came devastation. Tyrande and Malfurion sensed the demonic power lurking within Illidan and turned away with disgust and despair. Malfurion chastised his brother, convinced that Illidan had traded his soul for more power. Enraged, Malfurion banished his brother from the forests.

Comentario de lundklan

you forgot to mention some details, like he became Kur'talos Ravencrest`s (night elf emperor) personal sorcerer and were therefore a higher rank than his brother Malfurion.
And you also forgot to mention that he is in love with Tyrande Whisperwind and that Sargeras (The ruler of the demons) made him blind, and gave him 2 magical orbs as eyes instead, when Illidan swore allegiance to him.

Comentario de Kanthalas

Actually your wrong. Illidan -was- trained as a druid by Cenarius along side of Furion. He eventually gave it up seeing his brother growing faster in it than him and went back to practicing arcane magic (Later its known that golden eyes indicate strong innate druidic magic in a Night Elf, and Illidan had golden eyes)

Also during the first War with the Burning Legion he was captured and struck a deal with Sargaras, Sargaras gave him magical powers and sight (The tattoos on his body and ripped out his eyes and replaced them with magic orbs basically) in return helping Sargaras come to this world. So basically he helped Sargaras come partly in the world knowing his brother will destroy the Well of Eternity stopping him. So he did betray both races sorta.

Oh he also killed a demon called Azzinoth during that war which explains all the items.

When Illidan is 30% of HP, Warden steps in and helps you kill Illidan,
Illidan was started as a Demon Hunter in Warcraft 3,
Arthas defeated Illidan but he was still alive.

Comentario de bleakraven

If you pay attention to his story, you will realize he is, after all, innocent. In no way will I ever raid the black temple and kill an innocent character...

...Illidan was even the only one with the balls to duel Arthas. Twice. He may have got pwned but atleast he tried while others concentrated on minor harms...

He's what you may call a misunderstood hero... or anti-hero...

Comentario de bleakraven

Surely Malfurion wouldn't let his brother die just like that....

yeah its not like it was malfurion who ordered for illidan to be imprisioned far from sight and mind for all his life *whistles a tune* -.-

Yes, it is a panda. According to Wowwiki, the panda is Samwise Didier's trademark. Also, when Illidan consumes the Skull of Gul'dan in WC3, he grows horns and wings and the panda on his blades changes from a happy panda to an angry panda.

Comentario de Discover

In game, he is classified as a demon.

Comentario de Apotheosis

We're playing a fantasy game, so there's always the possibility of any character coming back from the dead through means of magic, or some other deux ex machina, but I highly doubt that Illidan will be brought back.

Illidan's story arc was basically done when Arthas nearly killed him at the end of The Frozen Throne. Ever since then I think Illidan has devolved into a broken spirit, he failed his masters, and from what we know about patch 2.4, it seems that Kil'Jaeden had no real interest in trying to use Illidan again, as he seems to be focusing on the Blood Elves still loyal to Kael'thas to help him return to Azeroth.

Illidan played his part in the grand scheme of things during Warcraft III, and in truth I think that's where his real story ended. He gave up on every chance for redemption that was thrown his way, and will go down in the lore as selfish, insane, and arrogant, but powerful nontheless.

Comentario de 115040

Well...a lot of things have been changed in the game.Illidan died at the Frozen Throne by Arthas and I think that place where Illidan is isn't Black Temple it is Black Citildel(sry about my spelling).Maive Shadowsong has died also in Warcraft III Frozen Throne...It is in the 2nd camapining with Blood Elves!

Comentario de 40815

According to Blizzard, they made the last cinematic in TFT a realtime 3d animation rather than a prerendered cinematic because they were pressed for time. They would have made it clearer that Arthas did NOT kill Illidan had they not had this constraint.

Maiev Shadowsong's survival may well have been a retcon though, besides the fact that there was an altar of elders rezzing her every so often.

As for the Black Citadel being renamed the Black Temple and getting moved from HFP to SMV...there's no explanation for that one, really.

Illidan Stormrage is the final boss in Black Temple. When you start the fight remember this:

4 Tanks must be used for his encounter: a Warrior in his normal gear, 2 offtanks in optimized fire protection gear and a warlock tank with shadow protection gear. 9 Healers are recommended, but the encounter can be completed with only 8. Frost specialized Mages are highly recommended both for their damage against fire-immune targets and the ultility of their defensive abilities. An over-abundance of melee DPS classes is not recommended, otherwise any DPS class setup is possible.

Illidan got 5 stages:

1 Stage
HP: 6070400 Damage: 19914-28157
Abilities:
Shear: Deals melee damage and reduces the target's maximum health by 60% for 7 sec.
Flame Chrash: Deals 925 to 1075 Fire damage in an area in front of Illidan, as well as creating an area of fire in the same location. This area deals 5000 Fire damage to anyone who steps into it.
Draw Soul: Deals 4500 to 5500 Shadow damage to everyone in front of Illidan, regardless of range. Illidan will gain 100,000 health for every target that is affected by this.
Parasitic Shadowfiend: Deals 3000 Shadow damage every 2 sec. for 10 sec. This also summons a Parasitic Shadowfiend at the end of the duration of the damage over time spell.

When his health reaches 90%, Illidan calls fir the help of his minions which will be dealt with by Akama. The first stage continues until Illidan reaches the 65% mark, at which point he will fly in the air, starting stage 2.

Stage 2
HP: 6070400 Damage: 19914-28157
Abilities:
Fireball: Deals 2550 to 3450 Fire damage in a 10 yard radius.
Dark Barrage: Targets a random person in the raid and deals 3000 shadow damage per second for 10 sec.
Eye Blast: Deals a stream of damage across Illidan's chamber, incinerating targets with 19750 to 20250 Shadow damage in 6 yard radius around the blast. On top of this instant damage dealt, the eye blast also leaves behind a trail of fire that will damage players if they touch it.

In Stage 2 Illidan will fly in the air and cannot be attacked but he will throw down his 2 Blades of Azzinoth on opposite sides of the circle that marks the center of The Black Temple's summit. Each blade will spawn a Flame of Azzinoth, a powerful fire elemental with over 1 million hit points. The second stage ends when both Flame of Azzinoth are dead. Move away from the inner circle and prepare for stage 3.

Stage 3:
HP: 6070400 Damage: 19914-28157
Abilities:
Agonizing Flames: This is an area effect fire spell that deals damage over time to anyone affected. Deals a total of 36000 Fire damage over 60 sec. It hits a random player outside of 15 yards, unless it cannot find anyone, then it just hits anyone it can find. The damage it deals increases over time, similar to Curse of Agony.
Flame Burst: Throws fireballs to everyone in the raid outside of 15 yards. Deals 3238 to 3762 Fire damage to the target and all targets in a 5 yard radius.
Summon Shadow Demons: Summons 4 Shadow Demons to aid the caster. These demons cast Paralyze on a random target and move towards them slowly, ignoring everyone else. If they get to their target, they instantly kill them and choose a new target.
Uncaged Wrath: Increases Illidan's damage by 500%and movement speed by 200%
Demonic Transformation: Turns Illidan into a massive demon with different abilities.
Shadow Blast: Deals area damage around the target and all friends of the target. This one will be fired off constantly during this phase, it has zero coldown.

Stage 4
75 sec. after the death of the second Shard of Azzinoth which ended the second stage Illidan turns into his Demon Form and begin Stage 4.
At Stage 4 Illidan will wipe his threat meter.

Stage 5
As Illidan reaches 30% health, Maiev Shadowsong enters the battle. She periodically blinks to a player in the raid and places down a trap that can be use against Illidan. In this stage, Illidan enters an enraged state which significantly increases his damage. The tank needs to drag Illidan towards the trap, click to activate it, and position Illidan on top of it. While trapped, Illidan takes additional damage from every player attacking him. Keep attacking him until hes hit points reaches zero. Congratulations You finally defeated Illidan, Stormrage and maybe with a little bit luck Illidans legendary Warglaive of Azzinoth will be yours :-)

He was never capruted by the demons. He went willingly.

Comentario de Yarthort

Also, Illidan, like Azshara, was born with golden eyes which were uncommon before the destruction of the first Well of Eternity which was also called The Great Sundering, Night Elfs thought that golden eyes were a sign of future greatness. However this was found to not be true because both had bad outcomes. Later on these eyes were found out to be a sign of druidic potential. Like you said, Illidan was not a druidic person, yet addicted to arcane magic. In correction he was not called the Betrayer because of his defection to Sargeras because he came back to help. He was called the Betrayer when he created the second Well of Eternity. Before the explosion of the first Well, he filled vials with its waters. Upon the destruction of the first well, the Night Elfs found another lake in Hyjal. When they found this lake, they found that Illidan had poured the vials he had take from the first Well into this new lake. He thought that his people would praise him as a hero, however, his brother Malfurion was outraged. He was the decider of his fate because of how he helped rid Azeroth of Sargeras and because he was Illidan's borther. He felt that it would be cruel to sentence him to death but sentenced him to jail for the rest of his immortal life. (lol how does that work). In order to mask the second Well's existance from the Legion, they created what used to be the first world tree which also restored there lost immortality when the first Well was destroyed. 10,000 years later, the Burning Legion. This time the Legion was comanded by the Eradar Warlock Archimonde. On the way to the Barrow Dens to awaken the druids to aid them in the fight against the Legion, Tyrande Whisperwind noticed a jail which Illidan was kept in. She believed that Illidan was able to help them in the fight agains tthe Legion. Malfurion begged Tyrande not to set Illidan free but she defied him. Later, Illidan was confrounted by Arthas who gave Illidan the task of killing the Dread Lord Ticondrious. He then consumed the Skull of Gul'dan and killed Ticondrious. Consuming the Skull of Gul'dan, he awas transformed into a demon which gave him wings and horns and many other features. Malfurion found out that he has damned himself and exiled Illidan who lwas then hunted by Maiev Shadowsong. Maiev was the warden incharge of Illidan when he was in prison, when he escaped she vowed to hunt him down and kill him. After being exiled, Kil'jaeden gave him a task in echange for greater power. Kil'jaeden gave him the task of destroying the Lich King. He then went to Sageras' "tomb" to recover an artifact known as "The Eye of Sargeras". Illidan used the Eye to attempt to break apart Ice Crown which is where the Lich King is held. Malfurian and Maiev stoped him before he could destroy it. He then atempted to go to Ice Crown himself with his army of naga (the Highborn elfs that wer traped underwater for 10,000 years and turned into semi-amphybian creaturs) and the help of Kael'thas who pleged his loyalty to Illidan in search of magic for him and his Blood Elfs. He fought Arthas at Ice Cown but was mortally wounded but lived. Inorder to atempt to hide from Kil'jaeden's wrath, he fled to outland where he defeated the current lord of outland at the time, Magtheridon and became the new Lord of Outland. He is now the final boss in the 25-man raid instance of Black Temple. Edit: I added alot of stuff to make it more interesting.

Comentario de Anthara

A mage can successfully tank in lieu of a Warlock tank. Additional healing may be required. In our case, we added a Tree who kept HoTs on me as well as the raid.

Benefits of a fire mage vs. traditional lock tanks include:

Reduced risk of Agonizing Flames due to Ice Block
Safe management of Parasites at the tank spot
Fire Ward to mitigate some Flame Burst damage
Increased range (41 yds) for safe, continuous threat generation while tanking
Increased mobility from Blink for faster repositioning
Frostbolts (-40% movement) regardless of spec to help slow nearby Shadow Demons as needed

Of course, the added healing from Fel Armor and generally higher health likely trumps all of the above if you're lucky enough to have a Warlock capable of tanking him. Indirect benefits of having a fire mage tank instead of lock include:

Allowing every lock to spec Nether Protection which is beneficial in many fights (M'uru, Twins, Brutallus, Kalecgos, Illidan, Council, Shahraz, Gorefiend, Supremus, Archimonde, Azgalor, Kaz'rogal) until reaching Alythess, at which point a lock tank is highly preferred and will have to spec out of NP
Allowing the lock who would have had to tank to dps instead, pumping out far greater dps (especially during phase 2, the most critical phase) than the fire mage possibly could
More distant positioning of Illidan by the melee tank to increase the distance Shadow Demons will have to travel

I think Illlidan will come back in the next expansion during the fight with Arthas/Ner'Zhul (aka the lich king).

Either to finish his task and defeat him for kiljaeden or because he wants vengeance against him.

Heres some info on illidan.

Illidan gained his powers from sargeras, who burned his eyes out and replaced them with magical orbs. Illidan covered his eyes with a blindfold after that, he gained rune tatoos on his body and enhanced magical abilitys. He used the blades of azzinoth which he had looted off the demon Azzinoth.

Illidan was imprisoned for betraying the night elves by making anthor well of eternity, using water from the original well, after the original one, which caused most of the suffering that had happened, had been destroyed. He was freed by tyrande when the burning leigon returned.

Illidan consumed the powers of the Skull of Gul'dan transforming him, after becoming a demon to his brothers eyes and the eyes of his people he left into the forests of Felwood. Apparently after the fall of archimonde he met Kil'jaeden and made a pact with him, sealing his transformation as a demon.

After words he tried to use the eye of sargeras to destroy icecrown and the lich king to be stoped by his brother, he sensed the land in northrend getting destroyed, who did not know that he was using it for a noble cause (even if it was for his new demon master).

He left to outland shortly after saving tyrande, made the pact with the blood elves and took over outland. Him and his new leigon attacked northrend only to fail, defeated by arthas, and flee to outland in fear of kil'jaedens wrath. Btw this was also just before arthas became the lich king, after illidan was defeated arthas became the lich king

more lore..

Relationship between Illidan and Malfurion
The relationship between the Stormrage brothers is noticeably different in Warcraft III/The Frozen Throne and in the War of the Ancients Trilogy.

By way of comparison, in the novels written by Knaak, Malfurion is more tolerant and forgiving of his brother, who is portrayed as often selfish, reckless, out of control and not completely sane. Rather than becoming part of the "lynch mob" who want Illidan summarily executed, Malfurion speaks on his behalf, endorsing his knowledge of the Burning Legion as vital tactical information... giving an undeniable reason to bury Illidan rather than kill him.

When we first were introduced to Malfurion and Illidan in Warcraft III, Malfurion objected fiercely to the idea of freeing Illidan, in the belief that his crimes were unforgivable and that he should stay locked up. When they were reunited Illidan was bitter about how he had been punished and Malfurion was disgusted to be in the same room as Illidan, still nursing a grudge over Illidan's betrayal. Illidan, who seemed to be the more forgiving one at the time, was eager to prove to his brother that the demons had no hold over him. Later, after Illidan used the powers of the Skull of Gul'dan for himself and took on a demonic appearance, Malfurion demanded to know where his brother was, implying he still had some affection for him. After Illidan revealed that he was the demon, Malfurion, rather than killing him simply banished him. Obviously, Malfurion knew Maiev Shadowsong would want Illidan imprisoned but still chose not to act. Rather than object, Illidan simply walked away.

Illidan was next seen in Warcraft III: Frozen Throne. After the two worked together to save Tyrande, Illidan seemed to have forgiven Malfurion for disrupting his attempt to destroy the Frozen Throne, even though it would leave him at Kil'jaeden's mercy. Malfurion's last words to Illidan included an ominous threat about what would happen to him if he ever did anything against the Kaldorei again. This too, Illidan accepted without objection. Illidan admitted that he had known only "ages of hate" for his brother, but for his part he wished it to end. This is perhaps the closest thing to a peace that the brothers have achieved. Illidan then departed telling Malfurion he doubted they would ever see each other again.

In World of Warcraft, Malfurion's words indicate that he does not wish to fight his brother, and he says that if he is forced to, things will not be as they were at the Well at Zin-Azshari.

Make VERY SURE that your demon phase tank, if he's a warlock, does not spec Nether Protection!!! If he does, and Nether Protection procs, your raid is VERY likely to wipe. Illidan will stop targeting the warlock tank and shadow blast the next on threat, which is a HUGE problem.

My guild just wiped on Illidan attempts for a month until we figured out that it wasn't people pulling aggro on the demon phase that was wiping us. If your guild is dying in phase 4 constantly, this may be the problem. The solution, of course, is to get your warlock to spec out of Nether Protection.

Comentario de Alias

Comentario de Zefyrus

The twilight of The Burning Crusade finds Illidan being farmed by thousands of guilds around the globe. That brings joy and satisfaction to the players/customers, however it's kind of an abuse and at some point destroys the prestige this tragic figure of Warcraft had; I think we can all agree that Illidan is a fantastic character, both from appearance and beliefs. Among the peace, he is the screech; he was driven by desire, the lust for power, but he remained Illidan. He's not the kind of classic bad guy that gets insane or loses his mind. He does what he does conciously; he's the type of character seen in many movies, read in many books. Illidan, in literature terms, represents that so called "weakness", every human has well hidden beneath his flesh: desire. In that case, the desire to dominate his surroundings and ultimately, everyone and everything.
History, however has a strange way of marking these people (in real life) with the big red label "MADMAN". We all have desires. Of different kinds.

This might be a fantasy game but it is made by humans, so no matter how much we try and no matter how much we want to invent a striking story we fail to do that, because our thoughts are just doing circles. Thing is, how big that circle will be but eventually it all comes back to the same point. Our human brain cannot think any further than that.
If we lived in the warcraft world, Illidan's story would be a teaching of how desire and power can corrupt a pure soul.
We've got loads of examples in our world for that. Many "Illidans".

Allegiance with demons

After the Legion's defeat, Illidan was visited by Kil'jaeden, who, while noting Illidan's sketchy track record with the Legion, offered him one final chance to serve them. He told him to seek out the Frozen Throne, and destroy it. Ner'zhul had grown far too powerful for Kil'jaeden to control, and Illidan was to remove him from the equation; in exchange for more power and magic than he could dream of. He granted him the Orb of Kil'jaeden to aid him in this task.

By harnessing Gul'dan's enchanted skull, Illidan came to possess the warlock's memories, and a plan came to mind, but he would need allies to help him. He decided to enlist the aid of old friends.

Illidan called the naga to the surface. The naga, formerly the Quel'dorei servitors of Azshara, were eager to take vengeance upon the night elves and the other land walking races that had been spared from The Great Sundering. Azshara sent her handmaiden, Lady Vashj, to establish contact and she eventually came to lead those who would be known as "Illidan's naga." But Illidan still had the troublesome warden, Maiev Shadowsong, to deal with, as she had persistently chased him all over Kalimdor. Illidan ran to the port of Nendis with his naga and satyr minions cleaning up behind him. When they came to the port, Illidan hijacked a boat and set sail, while a cadre of naga stayed behind to scuttle the ships and ruin all hopes of following him.

With the naga swimming in his wake, Illidan came ashore on the Broken Isles — the ruined remains of Suramar (ironically, the same city where Illidan grew up) which Gul'dan and his warlocks had raised twenty years before, and the home of the Tomb of Sargeras.

Comentario de mythology

My guild recently got him down for the first time, with entire raid wiped as he died - but we were still able to loot.

You are likely to make progress once you continually get him past phase 2 which is probably the hardest phase and requires good tanking.

Phase 3, 4 & 5 are all very similar, you just need to spread out and stay focused. The main focus needs to be on getting the shadow fiends down, you can nuke in non demon form fairly safely.

A good tanking guide for phase 2 is here: http://www.warcraftmovies.com/stream.php?id=49571&stream=&h=fad1ff2753e92813e0c054634e2cad97

Comentario de 119096

Illidan, brother of Malfurion Stormrage archdruid and currently battling whatever force is corrupting the Emerald Dream was first corrupted in the first war against the Legion, not by demons but his own resentment and his lust for power. After traveling to Azshara's palace and speaking with Sargeras, he was given 'infinite access' to the Well of Eternity through the tattoo's on his body. His second gift was the fire he was given in place of his eyes which allowed him to see magical energy flowing around him and in others.

Turning several times during the war and saved only by his brother Malfurion, he acquired 12 Vials of Eternity. The vials were part of the Well of Eternity, which was a font of pure magic. At the end of the war at the summit of mount Hyjal he poured most of the vials into the pool at the top and Malfurion found him before Illidan had completed transforming the well. Illidan thought he would be proclaimed a hero, but instead was imprisoned by his brother. To hide the new Well's immense power they planted a seed of the world tree and the dragons blessed the Sin'dorei so that this would never happen again.

In warcraft III Tyrande loosed Illidan hoping he would aid them in the fight against the legion. Shortly after his release he was contacted by Arthas to slay the Dreadlord Tichondrius. Upon slaying the dreadlord Illidan went for the Skull of Guldan. Not much is known about this artifact, be it the warlock's skull or an artifact of his creation, either way it contained his memories and upon drawing on its powers it transformed Illidan into his current visage... Malfurion upon discovering the demons in fact did have a hold over him, though Illidan swore otherwise, banished him.

In WCIII: TFT Illidan was called on by his brother to save both of their love... Tyrande who was captured by the scourge. All the while being sought by Maeiv to return Illidan to imprisonment or to slay him... Illidan tasked with destroying the Lich King by Kil'Jadean sought the Eye of Sargeras, a powerful artifact rumored to be part of the Lord of the Burning Legion, and Titan, he was. A desperate struggle, in the end Arthas threw down Illidan in victory and claimed the armor of the Lich King thus fusing the two souls into one...

In outland Illidan seeking to find a way that Kil'Jadean would not slay him for his failures, trekked across outland and in the end came to the Black Citadel where Magtheridon ruled Outland with an iron fist. Upon defeating Magtheridon he gave him to the Fel Orcs to win their trust where he now resides in the Hellfire Citadel. Upon receiving news of Illidans actions Kil'Jadean confronted him and after warning him of another failure he would be slain, left him to rule Outland bringing us to the present...

"To coincide with the upcoming new talents and mechanic changes for classes in the next patch, we are making some adjustments in existing raid content to provide a smooth transition when the upcoming patch is released. The creatures and bosses in raid dungeons that were introduced in The Burning Crusade will have their health reduced, and most will have their standard melee damage output reduced as well, but their spell and ability damage are not being changed. These changes are being made in all raid dungeons from Karazhan to Sunwell Plateau as well as the outdoor encounters of Doom Lord Kazzak and Doomwalker. On top of this Illidan is also doing his part and will stop casting Shear on players."

A blue post by Bornakk stating that almost all BC raid mobs will be docked 30% in health and their damage output reduced. However, Illidan is getting another nerf along with it, taking shear out of the game entirely. This is subject to go live with the content patch of the 3.0 talents and such.

Comentario de 66161

Once WotLK prepatch hits, Illidan will NO LONGER cast Shear, and his HP will be reduced by 30%.

Comentario de PopTarts111

Just to make this clear, Illidan was born as a Night Elf somebody said he was a Draenei..... he became a Demon when he consumed the Skull of Gul'dan now a World of Warcraft item http://www.wowhead.com/?item=32483 then Kael'jaeden sought after him, assigning him a task to destroy the Frozen Throne. Then he figured out to destroy the Frozen Throne he'd need more allies, he called the Naga to the surface formerly the Quel'dorei servitors of Azshara, they were eager to take vengeance upon the Night Elves ( I seriously have no idea what this has to do with the Frozen Throne, that part was taken from wowwiki ), while he had the assist of the Naga he was being chased by Maiev Shadowsong ( http://www.wowwiki.com/Maiev_Shadowsong ) afterwards, he ran to the port of Nendis with his minions cleaning up after him, Illidan hijacked a boat and set sail, but the Naga stayed behind and destroyed everything so nobody would have a trace of finding him. Then the Naga swam in his trail, shortly after he came to the shores of the Broken Isles, the ruins of Suramar. But Illidan's servants had not been successful in destroying the boats. Maiev and the Watchers arrived on the Broken Isles shortly after Illidan, and the two forces battled across the watery terrain. Illidan reached the tomb, and Maiev was quick to follow. With Gul'dan's knowledge, Illidan quickly traversed the Tomb and came to the chamber which contained the Eye of Sargeras. Maiev came upon him as he and Vashj were activating the powerful artifact, and, as vengeance for her imprisoning him for ten thousand years, Illidan used the Eye to bring the Tomb down around her, and then quickly escaped through the underwater passages used by the naga. Though he killed Naisha and all the other Watchers within the Tomb, Maiev escaped with her magical abilities. On the surface, Illidan and Maiev battled for supremacy as the Warden sent out a runner to gather reinforcements from Ashenvale. Malfurion and Tyrande arrived on the Broken Isles with reinforcements as Maiev's base was being overrun. When they struck back, Illidan's forces crumbled, but he and his retainers fled before they were seriously harmed. Tyrande pursued them out of the base, and Illidan ensnared her to protect himself, and then warned her not to interfere. He fled across the sea once again. During this battle, Tyrande finally revealed why she had spurned Illidan: too drunk with his rising magical and political power, he had forgotten his own inner strength. Malfurion, despite his increases in power, held on to that strength within him. Armed with this knowledge, Illidan finally came to grips with his feelings.

Illidan landed on the shore of Lordaeron, and quickly made his way through the Silverpine Forest to get to Dalaran, where Illidan began to use the Eye of Sargeras to break apart the polar ice cap and destroy Icecrown and the Frozen Throne. But he was interrupted by Maiev and Malfurion, and the spell failed. Malfurion had felt Illidan's spell tearing the land apart and concluded that he was a danger to the world and had to be stopped. Illidan, who was entangled by his brother, called Malfurion a fool as he was destroying the Lich King, their common enemy. Malfurion was furious at him for causing the loss of Tyrande, who had been, according to Maiev, killed. Illidan was heartbroken that the woman he loved was dead, but Prince Kael'thas, the night elves' newest ally, thought that perhaps it was premature to presume her dead. Kael'thas explained that Tyrande had not been "torn apart" by the undead, as Maiev had told Malfurion, but had instead fallen into a river and been swept away by the currents. Malfurion immediately arrested the Warden and promptly went in search of Tyrande. Illidan begged to be allowed to help his brother track down the beloved priestess. Illidan and his personal guard of naga found Tyrande under heavy attack from a massive undead force.

Illidan and his naga battled their way through the undead until they reached her. Sorry I cannot write more my spaces are filled up :(

You don't really need fire resistance anymore to tank the flames. The tanks just need to move fast and you need to have really high dps, since the flames themselves hit for some 2-5k on 70 FR (aura), but the only thing that hurts is Blaze.

Due to the 30% HP nerf AND that Illidan cannot shear anymore - making ANY tank be able to tank him, not just warriors.

Illidan now says: "I am not prepared!"

I don't know if it's meant or not but - ACTUALLY - he can be disarmed. And, as a rogue, I disarmed him once he turned onto me, popped Evasion, and had to tank him when our tank died on his last bunch of HP.

Definitely questionable level of preparation.

is so cool because illidan drops... very very very powerful items and he is very hard to defeat

Comentario de 258919

Illidan is one of the major 3 bosses in the Burning Crusade expansion, alongside Kael'thas and Kil'jaeden. Despite the fact that the trailer for the xpac revolves mostly around him, and the game mostly around his realm (Outland), Illidan is not the final boss of the Burning Crusade. Rather, Kil'jaeden is.

He is the Lord of the Outland after he defeated Magtheridon (who is now imprisoned in Hellfire Citadel). He resides in the Black Temple, a former Draenei worship site, with the title "Betrayer". Though he is not the hardest boss in the game by any means, defeating him is a worthy feat.

Unfortunately, with the release of Wrath of the Lich King, his rare drops have dropped greatly in value.

Comentario de Psyblade1st

Illidan got addicted to the arcane magic and when Azshara started to allie with Sargaras; Enemy of all life

Illidan was never addicted, he was simply obsessed about proving it superior to druidic magic.

, Malfurion and Tyrande wanted to destroy it with the help of every demigod they know.. Illidan, that was addiced could not left them destroy the Well of Eternity, so he warned Azshara, which nearly cost Tyrande her life.

He warned Azshara, only to get close enough to destroy the Well himself. But Sargaras figured him out, and burned out his eyes, thinking that this gift/small punishment will employ Illidan against his people.

For that he was called Betrayer and was locked away for 10.000 years to Tyrande released him and set him loose in the world again..

He was called the Betrayer for recreating the Well of Eternity in Hyjal summit, a 'gift' to the Night Elves, but Malfurion got furious, and with Cenarious's help, he imprisoned Illidan, and gave Meiev the Wardens power.

There he gets the Skull of Guldan.. Story dont tell if it was Guldans skull or an artifact made by him, but it contains a lot of his memories.. it also cost him his soul and he gets "neither demon nor nightelf, but something more."

He did not make it, but it is most likely Gul'Dan's skull itself, but how it got to the Legion's grasp, while it was surly at Sargaras's tomb is unknown.

Illidan never 'lost his soul', he simply changed physically, but he never enraged and destroyed everything, he was like he always was.

He really needs to start spending a little less time with his "servants" and a little more time getting back in shape.

PART 4: ILLIDAN THE BETRAYER AND ASSOCIATED PROPERTIES OF BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Well congratulations baddies, you are just 1 step away from the end of the pve raiding line. This ones for all the marbles and after its all over, you will have walked away with the privlage of saying "I, have SLAIN Illidan" Your WoW forum trolling potental will be heightened considerably, your epeen will be legthened likewise, and may also experence some increased girth. Now that i have piqued your interest heres how you do it:

First Impressions: Illidan is Tiny

For the Boss of the whole goddam game, Illidan is really freaking small, this is GAURANTEED to be your official first impression. Your secoond impression will be that illidan dosent care that you /dance or /train at him. Once Illidan starts his speech, you will have your third impression.....actually let me stop myself here, you are probally expecting me to make some wisecrack regarding your level of preparedness for this encounter, I wont engage in such petty tomfoolery, instead let me state for the record that your duplicity....is hardly suprising.

Phase 1: Chillin with Illin

The Fight Will Start and You Will notice one thing quickly: He hits HARD. Use your phase 1 attempts to get the sheer joy of wiping to runaway parasitic infection out of your system. If you are melee DPS on this fight you will quickly observe that Illidan jumps really high, but fear not, as hitting the air where his body just was does the same amount of damage as hitting illidan himself. Once your Mages l2frost nova and your tank l2sheild block, its time for:

Phase 2: Dinner is Served.

Chef Illidan has prepared a special meal for your raid: The Flames of azzinoth, and he encourages you to have a taste, but I would personally advise against it unless you are wearing full FR gear. Fans of bright colors will ejoy this phase: featuring Neon Green Fire, neon Blue Lazers, and Neon Blue Fire behind the Neon Blue lazers! As per WoW Raiding rule 47.2(b) You still Shouldnt stand in the fire. This phase is also where your warlock tank reveals he fergot to equip his Shadow Res Gear.

Phase 3: Like Phase 1 But Different!

Phase 3 Is an exciting and dynamic phase that is exactly the same as phase 1 except for something called agonozing flames. In order to not get agonizing flames you have to spread out. As a result your raid leader will spend phase three yelling on vent "SPREAD OUT" and "HEY SPREAD THE !#!% OUT" Eventually Illidan will get tired of his incessant whining and decide to start Phase 4:

Phase 4: Our Warlock Tank is French Canadian

Phase 4 is where Illidan gets Huge, everyone runs away from him, then you hope that you dont get demoned. You also have to spread out (when do you NOT have to spread out?). When other people get demoned you mess with their heads and pretend you arent going to kill it until it gets really close then you execute it, or at least thats what I do. If YOU get demoned you say something to the effect hey I got demoned, and then hope that you are well liked.

Phase 5: ITS A TRAP!

When Illidan reaches 30% Everyone Gets a sweet shadow bubble thing and then some guy with a hula hoop comes and talks crap to illidan. Then Hula Hoop guy runs someplace hilariously inconvienent such as directly against the back wall and drops a trap. Now in theory these traps are for illidan, they weaken him and make him take extra damage. In reality though the traps are actually traps for your raid that mess with your positioning and cause you to wipe to parasites. Most times you just ignore the trap and kill the mans, in which case its time for:

Phase 6: The Afterglow

Congratulations on your double vanquisher, healing cloak with spellhaste, felhunter on a stick and leather Bracer pattern. You are also gauranteed to get a warglave of azzinoth, unless someone in the raid diserves one.

More Important then loot however is that now you have killed illidan you are now offically "Mr. Cool" (See Attached Picture: http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/8091/1202253611206fk0.jpg )

Try not to $%^& of too many "casuals" with your "2 button epics" and always remember that all your accomplishments mean nothing because they are MONTHS BEHIND.

He pretended to be the big villain of The Burning Crusade and then disappointed us by not showing up apart from ONE quest in Shadowmoon Valley and as the last boss in Black Temple, and by letting Kil'Jaedan and Kael'Thas be the REAL villains.

Lord Illidan Stormrage

Illidan Stormrage was once a night elf under Queen Azshara. He developed an obsession to the magic of Azshara's close followers, but his brother Malfurion saw it as dangerous and convinced him to abandon it. But over time his hunger for magic became greater and greater.

Meanwhile, Queen Azshara had been corrupted by the dark titan Sargeras. She had agreed to summon him into the world through the Well of Eternity - the elves' source of magical power. Some time after Illidan forsook magic, demons began pouring out of the Well of Eternity into the world. Illidan and Malfurion, aided by Tyrande Whisperwind and the demigod Cenarius, fought against the demons, but it was not enough. Malfurion saw only one option - to destroy the Well of Eternity - which was not only the demons' link to the world, but also the source of the elves' immortality and magic.

However, Illidan's withdrawal from magic had taken it's toll on him. He left his companions and warned Azshara of Malfurion's plan. Malfurion and his allies soon attacked the Well, and in the midst of combat, Illidan procured an amount of the Well's water and disappeared. The Well was destroyed, and the earth was ripped apart.

Malfurion and his allies sought to reach the holy Mount Hyjal, but Illidan beat them there. Using the water from the Well, he created a new Well of Eternity. But Malfurion hunted Illidan down, defeated him, and locked him in a barrow under the watch of Maeiv Shadowsong.

Ten thousand years later, during the Legion's invasion of Ashenvale, Illidan was released from his prison and procured the Skull of Gul'dan. Kil'jaeden approached him and offered enormous power to him in exchange for the destruction of the Lich King, Ner'zhul, whom Kil'jaeden created but was losing control of. Illidan sought out the powerful Eye of Sargeras, and, with the help of the naga, obtained it. He entered Dalaran and attempted to use it's vast magical energies to launch an attack on Icecrown Citadel from afar using the Eye. He was stopped at the last minute by Malfurion and Tyrande, who had come to help Maeiv, who had been hunting down Illidan. Illidan fled to Outland in order to escape Kil'jaeden's wrath. Maeiv followed Illidan, then captured him.

After being cut off from the Sunwell, the blood elf race began to suffer. Their lord Kael'thas sought Illidan's aid in Outland. He defeated Maeiv and released Illidan. Illidan mustered his forces and decided to assault Icecrown once more. Seeing the assault, Ner'zhul called his loyal death knight Arthas to aid him. Arthas and Illidan's forces met at the stairs of Icecrown Citadel, and, in a climatic duel, Arthas defeated Illidan.

Ashamed, Illidan and his forces retreated to Outland, where they reside to this day. He reigns as a tyrant Lord over the remnants of Draenor and, with the help of Maeiv and Akama, Illidan's fake "servant", he must be killed.

You are not prepared.

Comentario de mrbungle54

I was thinking the other day-why the hell did we have to kill Illidan?
I mean, I understand that the purpose alot of raid content is to lend some closure to the story lines from WCIII (And WC I and II in the cases of say, Blackrock Spire or Zul'Aman), and Illidan was definitely a major character who remained something of a loose end after WCIII.
(Unless Blizzard, dare I say it, leave a guy to die when he logically should. Yeah, yeah, I realize that the original plan was to have a higher quality cutscene and show that Illidan, while defeated, did survive-whatever. "The bottom of Icecrown was merely a setback!")

But, look at the other Raid Bosses and Villains we've faced so far-

Nefarian-Tried to create a new brood of dragons and loose them on the world and *!@# ^&*! up the way his father did.

C'Thun-Was trying to conquer the world with ugly bug things.

Kel'Thuzad (the first time)-Was just kind of a ^&*!@#bag. But really, leader of the Scourge outside of Northrend.

Kael'Thas-Went out of his $%^&ing gourd, got drunk on whatever moonjuice they were piping to him in the Netherstorm, then decided it would be a great idea to steal a Naaru, corrupt him, and then, say, I dunno, summon the leader of the most destructive organization in the universe in a kiddy pool at his summer home.

I know I left out alot of major antagonists, but still, the point is, they all got what they deserved.

But what did Illidan do that was so bad?
He actually did a lot more good than harm.

In WCIII, he defeated Tichondrius, and severely hampered the Legion's offensive effort on the world tree by cutting their reinforcements. Without that edge, Archimonde would have set up a treehouse in Nordrassil and started taking a *!@# on Azeroth.
Ok, fine. In Frozen Throne, though, he did much, much more. First off, he jarred loose the scourge's foothold outside Northrend and effectively freeing The Forsaken. If you remember, he started casting this giant spell to shatter Icecrown, and was about halfway through it when Malfurion (&*!@#$bag) stopped him. He didn't destroy Icecrown or the Lich King, but the storyline indicates that it's this spell that causes Ner'Zhul's influence to wane enough to make Arthas come down with epilepsy or whatever, and wake Sylvanas up enough to cooperate with the dreadlords enough to stage the coup that sent Arthas back to Northrend, leaving the Scourge's future in Lordaeron in Kel'Thuzad's (cough) very capable hands. Of course, she turns on the dreadlords, screwing over the Legion...again...and freeing the Forsaken enough to establish themselves as a legitimate force and self reliant people.
Now, while all that was happening, he was off in Outland, teaching the Blood Elves not to gnaw off their own hands in magic withdrawn frenzies, and went and kicked the ass of a Pit Lord who had enslaved the Broken in the Black Temple, screwing over the Legion...again. (Man, those guys just can't catch a good break.)

So why are we @#$%ed at him?

Because Kael'Thas attacked Shattrath?
I mean, maybe Kael was just feeling crazy and cracked out from all the siphoned energy from the manaforges and thought, "Hey, let's go knock over Shattrath." I mean, he's not known for great ideas. (See summoning Kil'Jaeden in kiddy pool reference.)
Not his fault.

Because the Broken are being abused?
Uh, I didn't see any Broken being beaten up or getting all Rodney King'd on when I strolled through BT. From what I'm to understand, the Ashtounge held a place of honor in the Illidari. And it's not like Illidan enslaved them and made them get all ugly. The Orcs, under the influence of the legion, !@#$ed up the Temple of Karabor originally, and Magtheridon was just housesitting for Kil'Jaeden until he got his credit in order so that he could refinance the Black Temple or something. They actually had it pretty good with Illidan compared to all the other !@#$ they went through. Guess the grass is always greener on the other side of...the Temple...

Because he's mean to Maiev?
Honestly, who gives a ^&*! In TFT, Malfurion has the crazy %^&*! arrested for lying about Tyrande's fate. Whisperwind would have been left for dead so that Maiev would get her shot at Illidan. Technically, she's an enemy of the Night Elf government, and just generally a psycho hose-beast.

Because he's a staunch enemy of the Burning Legion and the Scourge?
Yeah! Off with his head! How dare he fight those guys?
Oh, wait...

I mean, I know alot of people will disagree with me because of what happened with the Sundering and whatnot, and that Illidan was a loose cannon and had to be eliminated. But, I'm just putting it out there.

Comentario de PinkWolf

funny/sad fact:
In the dialogue between Malfurion and Remulos, it is believed(or proven) that Illidan did indeed became insane...

Malfurion Stormrage says: Cenarius fights at my side. Illidan sits atop his throne in Outland – brooding. I'm afraid that the loss to Arthas proved to be his breaking point. Madness has embraced him, Remulos. He replays the events in his mind a thousand times per day, but in his mind, he is the victor and Arthas is utterly defeated. He is too far gone, old friend. I fear that the time may soon come that our bond is tested and it will not be as it was at the Well in Zin-Azshari.

I personally feel sry for Illidan, he was(maybe still is) my fav Warcraft character.As for Arthas, i can't wait to see what blizz has in stored for us in Icecrown!

In my opinion, it's very stupid that Blizzard made epic characters from the Warcraft Universe daily raids. Most of the Dragon Aspects, Kil'Jaeden, Illidan..

If they make the Lich King an easy daily raid I'm gonna start holding Blizzard employees hostage.

For 80s, this fight is much easier yet still wipeable if you don't know what you're doing.

For a simple explanation, just tell em this-

Stage 1) Stack on the grate and meleers stay behind him. If he casts Flame Crash, meleers should run back. Kill Parasites.

Stage 2) Watch for the beams and fires.

Stage 3) Same as Stage 1, but ranged dps should distance themself. If someone is tagged as an AoE beacon, they should run.

Stage 4) All DPSers and heals should stay spread out. If demons spawn, kill them ASAP.

Stage 5) Same as stage 3, but kite Illidan to the traps if needed.

No need for a warlock tank or anything with a solid group of about 12 or so geared 80s.

Comentario de aFluffyFartBall

t should be noted that the "altered history" referenced is the official history of the Warcraft setting.

Illidan (aka the Betrayer), twin brother of Malfurion, practiced Highborne magic. In his youth, he attempted to master the druidic forces, as his brother had, but the sorcery called to him in a way that the magic of the land did not. Unlike his brother, Illidan was born with amber eyes, at the time a sign of a great destiny — however, this actually indicated inherent druidic potential. When Malfurion and Tyrande had found their destiny, Illidan was still searching for his. Though not a Highborne himself, he became the personal caster of the military leader, Ravencrest.

When Archimonde's invasion of Azeroth had begun and Azshara's treachery became known, Malfurion convinced Illidan to leave his queen. Illidan followed his brother. But as Cenarius and the dragons entered the battle, Malfurion came to understand that their adversaries were too powerful to fall in combat. To end the invasion, he plotted the destruction of the Well of Eternity. The idea appalled Illidan. The Well was the source of his magic — and likely of the elves' immortality — and its loss was a price far too dear for him to pay. In addition, the night elf found that he increasingly admired the powers of the Burning Legion, seeing a magical purity that underlay their chaotic behavior. Where the night elves struggled to maintain their ground, the Burning Legion's numbers did not seem to permanently diminish. The satyr Xavius seized upon his doubts, exploiting his confusion to plant seeds of distrust into Illidan's mind which made Illidan turn to seek the power the Burning Crusade were using so he could become stronger, while in his mind this was to help defeat the Burning Crusade he actually helped them by giving Sargeras the Demon Soul to make the portal stronger.

Illidan had strong feelings for Tyrande Whisperwind, a novice priestess in the Sisters of Elune. Illidan so desired to impress Tyrande that he often acted without thinking, particularly in magic; he never realized that these displays weren't quite what the priestess was looking for in a mate. But while Illidan struggled to win her heart, none of them realized that the battle was over soon after it had begun; Tyrande had chosen Malfurion almost from the beginning. Xavius knew of this and used his power to darken Illidan's thoughts, convincing him that if Malfurion were to die, Illidan would no longer have a rival for Tyrande's love. Finally the sight of Tyrande in the arms of his brother Malfurion shattered his final ties to the defenders.

Illidan, with a new plan spurred into his mind, journeyed to Zin-Azshari. There he feigned allegiance to Azshara and Mannoroth. Illidan's plan was to obtain the Demon Soul, an artifact of great power created by Deathwing also known as Neltharion the Earth-Warder, which had the ability to close the portal which was allowing the demons to enter Kalimdor. However, to put this plan in action, Illidan had to gain more power. Illidan was eventually brought before Sargeras himself, who quickly discovered the night elf's plan to obtain the Demon Soul for the Legion. Sargeras was pleased with this plan, and gave Illidan a "gift" in return for his allegiance. Illidan's eyes were burned out by Sargeras himself, despite still being beyond the portal, and orbs of mystic fire set in their place that allowed Illidan to see all forms of magic, and arcane tattoos covered his body. Azshara was fascinated by the "new" Illidan (who was wary of her advances), but remained cautious, sending Captain Varo'then to accompany Illidan in his search for the Demon Soul.
Illidan from "The Sundering".

After the Great Sundering, Illidan, who had filled seven vials with water from the Well of Eternity, scaled the peaks of Mount Hyjal, where he found a small, tranquil lake. There he poured the contents of three of the vials into the waters. The chaotic energies quickly manifested, tainting the lake and twisting it into a new Well of Eternity. Illidan's joy was short-lived however, when his brother, Malfurion, Tyrande and the rest of the kaldorei leadership discovered him - and all were horrified at what he'd done. Unable to accept that his brother had committed such treachery, Malfurion tried again to explain to Illidan the folly of his ways. The magic, he insisted, was chaotic by nature, and it could only bring about destruction so long as it existed. Illidan refused to listen, so enraptured by the magic's power that his brother seemed to him an unknowing fool. Illidan claimed that magic would be needed should the Burning Legion ever return.

The lack of remorse shook Malfurion to his core and he raged at his brother, understanding now that Illidan was lost forever to the magic's sway. He ordered him imprisoned deep below Hyjal in a jail kept far from sight and mind.

Comentario de aFluffyFartBall

Illidan languished for 10,000 years in a lightless prison. Califax, a Keeper of the Grove, and a contingent of night elves kept constant guard over the Betrayer. Release came at the unexpected hands of Tyrande, who slaughtered the night elf guards in the hopes of using Illidan against the Legion, which had returned to Azeroth at the hands of the Scourge. With his love for Tyrande undampened through the millennia of confinement, Illidan agreed to help. He swore to throw back the Legion and to depart from the night elves forever.
Illidan confronts Arthas.

Malfurion opposed Tyrande's decision, thinking the release of Illidan a catastrophic mistake. Frustrated that his brother remained unchanged and eager to prove to him that the demons had no hold over him, Illidan left Malfurion behind, leading a force of night elves into Felwood to hunt down the Legion. While in Felwood, he encountered Arthas, champion of the Lich King, and they engaged in combat. The fighters were equally matched, and the combatants reached an impasse. Illidan stopped the duel and demanded to know why Arthas had tracked him. Arthas responded openly, telling Illidan about the Skull of Gul'dan, the demonic artifact that had corrupted Felwood. He explained that if the artifact were destroyed, the corruption of the forests would halt. To ensure that Illidan would take the bait, Arthas spared no detail of the Skull's power, adding that his master knew of Illidan's thirst for power. Although Illidan did not trust Arthas, he nevertheless sought the Skull and its power out.

A great Demon Gate defended the Skull as Illidan and his forces had to fight mightily to gain access to the artifact. Driven by necessity and influenced by the belief that with the increased power, he could at last redeem himself in the eyes of Tyrande, he shattered the demonic seal and used the Skull's powers for his own. Strength he found, but peril greater than power came to him at once. The battle for control of the Skull came with a heavy price and the artifact's powers changed him. Transformed into a demon, Illidan wrapped himself in shadow and utterly destroyed Tichondrius and his forces. But with victory came devastation. Tyrande and Malfurion sensed the demonic power lurking within Illidan and turned away with disgust and despair. Malfurion chastised his brother, convinced that Illidan had traded his soul for more power. Enraged, Malfurion banished his brother from the forests.

Comentario de Moltke

In Illidan's initial appearance in Warcraft III, he is freed from ten thousand years of imprisonment to help his people. You might think that had driven him mad, but he does succeed in saving his people (at the cost of becoming part demon). For this heroic act, he is exiled by his own brother, Furion. Then he is hired by the demon lord Kil'jaeden to destroy the Lich King before he regains his power and an expansion for World of Warcraft. Illidan is stopped by Furion, who was misled about the former's intentions. When Furion finds out that Maiev, Illidan's jailor, had betrayed him and lied about the death of his lover, Illidan and his brother work together to save said lover.

Afterward, Illidan tries one last time to stop the Lich King, but is defeated at the end of Warcraft III's expansion. Thus Illidan had been, at worst, a Well-Intentioned Extremist who rarely did anything not in his people's interest (even the original reason for his imprisonment was for keeping part of the Well of Eternity, which he felt was too useful to completely destroy, even if it is what brought the demons). Even in the War of the Ancients Trilogy Illidan, while portrayed as significantly more power-hungry, still wishes to save his people. Come World of Warcraft however, Illidan is brooding on Outland as a Designated Villain with Informed Insanity.

He is treated as if he was always a villain, carries the title "the Betrayer" (which he, in fact, mocked in the intro to the Frozen Throne, but it seems the writer's forgot that he was right), and most of the expansion revolves around fighting him and his minions, despite the fact that it is supposed to be about defeating the Burning Legion's Burning Crusade, whom he betrayed and is now using their weapons against them. To put salt in the wound, Maiev helps you defeat him, who was not only said to have died in multiple sources, but was the true traitor in Illidan's story, having left the night elven leader's lover for dead and allowing the Lich King to survive just for a chance to imprison somebody who was saving the world

First; Illidan Stormrage was never a druid. His brother was trained in the druidism ways and yes Malfurion Stormrage is know as a druid.. Illidan was addicted to the arcane magic, just like the Blood Elf he eagered to become..

Druidism was about following the natures ways, the Arcane magic was to controll the magic to your will.
It was the High born and Azshara that controlled the Arcane Magic from their magic Well of Eternity; given from the Pantheon..

That's wrong aswell. Illidan, at the starting, tryed to learn druidism. He later abbandoned this inspiration for many causes, the most relevant was his excellent skills in the arcane magic, wich forces the energy and the elements to your will, as magic that forces magic is not a good explanation. Druidism is about connecting with nature, not following it, elsewhere we may be druids as we live as trees. The Highborne were not, also, the only ones able to manipulate the essence of the Arcane. And i'd like to point it out, while, is true that magic was taken from the Well of Eternity, the real source is the Twisting Nether, and that's why the arcane magic attracts the demons.

Now, if you think, Illidan's empire was in crisis before the Horde and Alliance arrived. Kael'thas was about to betray him. His hope was to create a new Well of Eternity in Zangarmash. Sadly his project failed. He had a good stronghold in Hellfire Citadel and in Zangarmash, yes... But what about Shadowmoon and the Black Temple? There was just lot of chaos: burning legion and catastrophic earthquakes aswell as elementals were everywhere.

**Now, as i see there are many problems about his origins and such, here's some informations from Wowwiki:

This is Warcraft III

Comentario de MalygosHelper

Warcraft III - Frozen Throne:

After the Legion's defeat, Illidan was visited by Kil'jaeden, who, while noting Illidan's sketchy track record with the Legion, offered him one final chance to serve them. He told him to seek out the Frozen Throne, and destroy it. Ner'zhul had grown far too powerful for Kil'jaeden to control, and Illidan was to remove him from the equation; in exchange for more power and magic than he could dream of. He granted him the Orb of Kil'jaeden to aid him in this task.
By harnessing Gul'dan's enchanted skull, Illidan came to possess the warlock's memories, and a plan came to mind, but he would need allies to help him. He decided to enlist the aid of old friends.
Illidan called the naga to the surface. The naga were eager to take vengeance upon the night elves and the other land walking races that had been spared from The Great Sundering. Azshara sent her handmaiden, Lady Vashj, to establish contact, the naga respecting Illidan's magical talent accepted the alliance and Vashj eventually came to lead those who would be known as "Illidan's Naga". But Illidan still had the troublesome warden, Maiev Shadowsong, to deal with, as she had persistently chased him all over Kalimdor. Illidan then allied with a group of satyrs. Then he ran to the port of Nendis with his naga and satyr minions protecting the way up behind him. Maiev killed the furbolgs and defeated his forces, but when she came to the port, Illidan hijacked a boat and set sail, while a cadre of naga stayed behind to scuttle the ships and ruin all hopes of following him.
With the naga swimming in his wake, Illidan came ashore on the Broken Isles — the ruined remains of Suramar (ironically, the same city where Illidan grew up) which Gul'dan and his warlocks had raised twenty years before, and the home of the Tomb of Sargeras. Malfurion and Tyrande arrived on the Broken Isles with reinforcements as Maiev's base was being overrun. When they struck back, Illidan's forces crumbled, but he and his retainers fled before they were seriously harmed. Tyrande pursued them out of the base, and Illidan ensnared her to protect himself, and then warned her not to interfere. He fled across the sea once again. During this battle, Tyrande finally revealed why she had spurned Illidan: too drunk with his rising magical and political power, he had forgotten his own inner strength. Malfurion, despite his increases in power, held on to that strength within him. Armed with this knowledge, Illidan finally came to grips with his feelings.
Illidan landed on the shore of Lordaeron, and quickly made his way through the Silverpine Forest to get to Dalaran, where Illidan began to use the Eye of Sargeras to break apart the polar ice cap and destroy Icecrown and the Frozen Throne. But he was interrupted by Maiev and Malfurion, and the spell failed. Malfurion was furious at him for causing the loss of Tyrande, who had been, according to Maiev, killed. Illidan was heartbroken that the woman he loved was dead, but Prince Kael'thas, the night elves' newest ally, thought that perhaps it was premature to presume her dead. Kael'thas explained that Tyrande had not been "torn apart" by the undead, as Maiev had told Malfurion, but had instead fallen into a river and been swept away by the currents. Malfurion immediately arrested the Warden and promptly went in search of Tyrande. Illidan begged to be allowed to help his brother track down the beloved priestess. Illidan and his personal guard of naga found Tyrande under heavy attack from a massive undead force.
Illidan and his naga battled their way through the undead until they reached her. Tyrande was taken aback by Illidan's service to her, and when he delivered her safely to Malfurion, she was astonished. Malfurion told Illidan he was free to go on the condition that he never threaten the night elves again. Illidan, wishing for an end to the conflict with his brother, agreed.
After Malfurion let him go, Illidan created a portal to Outland and fled immediately, pursued by Maiev. Now that he had failed to destroy Ner'zhul, he knew that Kil'jaeden's wrath would not spare him, so he wanted to find a world where he could remain unmolested. He felt that Outland, the ruined remains of Draenor, was just such a place.
Illidan was chased down on the shattered world until he was captured by Maiev and the Watchers, and imprisoned once again. But he was saved by Kael and Vashj. Illidan accepted the allegiance of the blood elves, and made Kael his second-in-command. The Sin'dorei, coupled with the naga, would be very invaluable to his plans. Illidan continued his original plan - to rid Outland of demonic influence so that he could stay out of Kil'jaeden's grasp. To do this, they laid siege to the Black Temple of Magtheridon, the Pit Lord who had taken control of the world. But first, Illidan systematically shut down his dimensional gates to stem the flow of reinforcements. Eventually, they succeeded.
When they came to the Black Temple, Illidan was approached by Akama of the Broken, who pledged the allegiance of his race. Akama's broken felt indebted to Illidan and his army for aiding them in their fight against the fel orcs of Magtheridon, who had laid siege to their village with the intent of slaughtering them all. They laid siege to the Black Temple and destroyed Magtheridon's defenses, and then defeated the Pit Lord in battle himself. Magtheridon noted wryly that Illidan had great power, and asked if the Legion had sent him as a test. Illidan laughed, saying that he was not a test, but a replacement, and imprisoned Magtheridon beneath Hellfire Citadel and kept sealed in place by the fel orc jailor Keli'dan the Breaker.
As Illidan rallied the forces of Outland under a new banner, a storm of fire and smoke descended upon the Black Temple, and Kil'jaeden appeared in all his unholy glory. Chastising Illidan for his foolhardy attempts to flee his wrath, Illidan quickly claimed that he had been gathering his forces for a second attack on the Frozen Throne. Kil'jaeden, seeing that Illidan's new comrades "showed some promise", agreed to give Illidan one more chance to appease the demons.
Illidan, Vashj, and Kael laid siege to Northrend and battled Anub'arak's forces as they trudged through the snow towards the Icecrown glacier. But Ner'zhul, knowing he would be overrun if he didn't do something, called Arthas to Northrend to complete the plan he had set in motion so many months before. Finally, Illidan's forces arrived at Icecrown as Arthas and Anub'arak dug their way out of Azjol-Nerub, and the two factions squared off in a titanic battle as they tried to gain control of the four mystical obelisks surrounding the glacier. After a long battle, and control going back and forth between the two enemies, Arthas activated all obelisks, and the doors to the Frozen Throne were opened.
But Illidan was not finished yet. Meeting the weakened Arthas at the glacier's base, the two warriors engaged in single combat. After a few minutes of exchanging blows, however, Arthas overcame Illidan's defenses and cut him down. Illidan Stormrage fell in the snow, dead, or so it seemed. He was badly wounded, but not killed. Arthas was quite aware of this, and before taking his leave, warned Illidan to leave Azeroth and never return. After it became clear for Vashj and Kael that they could not destroy the Frozen Throne, they retreated, taking Illidan with them

Comentario de Tyowinn

Illidan Stormrage was the self-proclaimed Lord of Outland, ruling from the Black Temple. He was born a night elf, and as stated by Maiev Shadowsong, became "neither demon nor night elf, but something more". He was the twin brother of Malfurion Stormrage and was in love with Tyrande Whisperwind. Once an unusually gifted sorcerer, the extent of his powers became difficult to classify due to his powers increasing in large bursts as a demon hunter and having absorbed the powers of the Skull of Gul'dan.

His pursuit of power and arcane mastery led him to commit a number of horrific acts against his own people and the races of Azeroth, including defecting to Sargeras during the War of the Ancients and creating the second Well of Eternity. For his actions, he was imprisoned for ten thousand years, until his release during the Third War. He came to be called the Betrayer for his acts against the night elf people and carried the title of Lord of Outland. Seeking to bring down her erstwhile prisoner, Maiev allied with Akama to invade the Black Temple, where she cornered Illidan in his inner sanctum and struck him down, bringing an end to one of the most tragic stories in Azeroth's history.

According to the 2010 Blizzcon WoW quests and lore panel (mmo champion has it over here: http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/2035-Blizzcon-2010-WoW-Quests-and-Lore-Panel#new_comment), Metzen mentioned he was interested in resurrecting illidan as a character and giving him a redemption story.

Q:Will we ever see a redemption or resurrection of Illidan as a Character?
A: BOY DO I WANT TO DO THAT. That'd be badass. I don't think anyone at all has ever talked about that. But I love that #$%^. I'm a sucker for a good redemption story. Except Arthas. Not Arthas. He's dead.

So it is possible he'll be back in the distant future. As long as he doesn't talk about setbacks, I'm fine with that.

Comentario de 116007

Something worth mentioning is that Illidan was sentenced to death by Jarod Shadowsong after he recreated the well of eternity, but Malfurion asked that he was imprisoned and not killed, because as Illidan pointed out, the legion would come again "for a second bite", and Illidan knew how to fight them best, after being under their employ. He was released when the legion invaded a second time, as expected when he was imprisoned, and then banished from the world.

Imho he's just a unfortunate guy who got too greedy on magic and combined that his love chose his twin over him drove him to the edge. he is not evil, for when his people needed in the first battle against the legion he helped malfurion seal the portal, and after being imprisoned for 10000 years and his help was needed he again responded and played his role in defeating the legion for a second time, only to be exiled. If i was him, i'd be pissed off too!

Comentario de celthrelor

I think it sucks that we had to kill him in BC, i was thinking about how anti climactic the end of the LK fight was that his father came out of the sword and all, big woop, i think it would have been better if illidan was alive and came down for round two with arthas like in warcraft lll frozen throne, you can bet that illidan wouldnt have sat in a block of ice untill everyone around him was killed to...

i have a question. if illidan hated the burning legion as a night elf, and loved arcane magic why didnt he just become a belf?

Comentario de Helllo

is it just me or does illidan have more average gold in his loot than the lich king?

Comentario de Silentfrost

They did Illidan such injustice....

Comentario de 407289

This is something I can't seem to find but would be nice to know:

Can Illidan drop both glaives at once?
If he can the odds of it happening are about 0.16% according to wowhead's numbers

Comentario de Hailscorn

I believe this is one of the more critical turning points in Illidans history.

"Illidan felt anything but appreciative after the clear dismissal. All his life he had been told that he was destined for greatness, for legend, and here he had thought that his time had come. His people were in panic, with nothing standing between them and genocide. Surely now was the moment when he became a part of epic history.
And perhaps he would have, if not for two of those he trusted most. Lord Ravencrest had taken him under his wing, raising Illidan up from nothing to a sorcerer of noble rank in the blink of an eye. His master had given him control of the remaining Moon Guard, and the twin believed that he had done well in the role of lead spellcaster.
Now, though, Ravencrest had removed him, replaced Illidan with one who was not even a night elf. For all the respect that Illidan had for Rhonin, this was too much. The wizard should have seen that, too; had Rhonin had any true confidence in him, the outsider would have refused the role.
His moment of greatness had been stolen from him... and in its place he was now reduced to calling for his so-admired brother.
The dark thoughts that had of late invaded his mind returned in full force. Although he worked to open the link that Rhonin had requested, Illidan half-hoped to discover that the reason Malfurion was still missing was that he had fallen victim to the Burning Legion. Illidan expected his twin to go down fighting heroically, of course, but beyond that he found that he was not at all that shaken by the image of a dead Malfurion. Tyrande would be upset, obviously, but the sorcerer would comfort her...
Thinking of Tyrande scattered away much of the darkness. Illidan felt regret for any pain that the actions he imagined would cause her. How could he think of putting her through that, even for him? She had chosen Malfurion, and that was that.
Forcing himself to focus on his twin, Illidan concentrated. First he would deal with this situation, then make a decision about his future. He had thought it lay with Ravencrest and Tyrande, and in both manners he had been wrong.
Now Illidan had to decide just where he belonged..."

So, Im prepared... Can solo it?

Comentario de 393910

Some quests in Feralas have painted him in a more sympathetic light. And based on Tyrande's "Leaders of Azeroth" short story, his former comrades at least feel a little sorry for him. Glad the writers remembered that, whatever he may have become, at one point he at least -tried- to be a hero.

Demon Hunters in general have been cast in a more positive light--there's Feronas Sindweller, who gave the aforementioned quest, as well as a Demon-Hunter centric quest in the Blasted Lands that shows--not only are Demon Hunters capable of sanity--they're also capable of camaraderie and sacrifice.

Think Demon Hunters might be the next Hero Class?

Comentario de 877245

"We the remains of that was left on Durotar when Illidan fell, when our master was slaughtered. We are the true and last of the Illidari, when the alliance and horde came they left a path of destruction in their wake and they call us the monsters? than leaving these shattered remains without a leader. I Igneous Stormrage have not forgotten and will never forgive the injustice caused here that day. I Igneous Stormrage proclaim my self the new ruler of the outlands and were coming back for you Azeroth well do to your world what you did to ours. YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!"

Illidan will likely be making a comeback some day, as stated at Blizzcon. Full post below:

What happened to Arthas's body? What happened to Illidan's body? What about Kael'thas?
It is likely we will bring Illidan back, not so much for Kael'thas, he already had his come back. Arthas's body is somewhere but we don't really know where.

Can u tell me how u got that stories about ilidan? that he betrayed hes own kind and all,i wanna see the whole story about wow,but idk where to find it.

Comentario de TdarKoNe

Our two man team for taking down Illidan Stormrage in Black Temple every week:
Item level 371 Blood Death Knight, 390 Elemental Shaman.

I don't play my DK regularly, but he's the best character for the job with his ability to mitigate damage and self heal.

Strategy: This fight is pretty simple with 2 level 85's in decent gear, phase one is tank and spank with standard "get out of the fire" technique.

Phase 2: When he flies up into the air he will throw his warglaives into the ground, spawning two Flames of Azzinoth. The single MOST important thing to remember is to stay right in the middle of the warglaives. If you move the Flames too far away they will enrage and cause a whopping 500% more damage and it's extremely hard if not impossible to survive. Try to dodge the fire on the ground as much as you can but be sure not to stray too far away.

Phase 3: Once the Flames are dead Illidan will come back down and it's basically phase 1 all over again.

After this you pretty much just burn him down, I've never seen him get the chance to transform nor have we needed to use the trap on him. So beat him down and hopefully collect your warglaive!

Comentario de Noxheart

Illidan is not a bad guy. Hes only trying to help. And if he now has become mad or insane its because of hes brother and tyrande. Its not illidans fault, he was trying to protect the ones he loved, but the betrayed him. Not the otherway around. No one can blame illidan for what hes done. I feel bad every time i kill him and i hope someday. We'll kill that traitor brother of his...

Comentario de Tayas

Soloed tonight as 90 Fury Warrior ilvl485
The phase when he throws the blades down and summons the two elementals is tricky. Fight them next to a blade as they do more damage the further from their respective blades they are. The one that is furthest from his blade MUST be nuked down super fast or you will die. I saved all CDs for this and still very nearly died.

Not too hard to solo though. I expect healing classes will have it much easier.

Comentario de Greyvax

This was easier than I expected as a 483 fury warrior.

Did straight up normal DPS & 1 minute cooldowns on phase 1, and bandaged after he flew up.

Phase 2 I popped all of my dps cooldowns and burned down the 2 elementals in the middle, ended this phase with just under half health.

Phase 3 wasn't too difficult, as he is doing mostly melee. Pop DBTS here and any dps cooldowns that are back up and second wind should take care of the rest if you get low. Didn't even have to use a healing pot.

Comentario de Berrenger

Solo'd as a Fury Warrior, Titan's Grip, ilvl 476, no buffs.

My strategy was a mix of those posted by Greyvax and Tavas.

Phase 1, didn't use any cooldowns, just regular dps to 66% health.

Phase 2, before the elementals spawned I bandaged up to full health. When the elementals spawned I stood right next to one blade but targeted the elemental that spawns from the other blade. Popped all cooldowns and nuked that elemental down as quickly as possible as he does much more damage the further away from his blade he is. The other elemental did negligible damage and was easily dealt with once the first was down.

Phase 3, I was at about 20% health but Second Wind prevented me from going much lower. Tank and spank Illidan until Maiev shows up whilst avoiding blue flames on the floor. Once Maiev and Illidan finish their little chat, nuke him down.

Comentario de PanzersSkywall

Solo'd as 460 BM Hunter.

Ferocity pet, just normal DPS phase 1.

At 66% when he drops down the 2 glaives, that's where you want to pop every cooldown (stampede as well) to burn the 2 elementals down. That part is the only challenge.

P3 resume AFK-autoshot, good luck on loot!

Comentario de mrmonkeyman

Solo'd as 460 ilvl Prot Warrior. Very Simple with Second Wind. Simply dps him through the first phase saving cooldowns for phase 2. Phase 2 do as others have mentioned, stand by one of the blades and kill the elemental from the farther blade first and avoid standing in fire. I bandaged up before phase 3 began but really it wasn't necessary as i was back down to 35% and second wind was keeping me up all the way to the end of the fight.

Comentario de 533861

Just tried to solo this on my paladin, and got my butt handed to me first try. I didn't realize that the Flames of Azzinoth have to be tanked near the warglaives of azzinoth or else they enrage and do tremendous damage. If you tank both of them in between the warglaives, you shouldn't have a problem with them enraging.

Comentario de 1082862

Pretty much any class should be able to solo him at 90 in basic heroics-level (463) gear. You want to save your CDs for killing the elementals in phase 2, as they can hurt a LOT. Other than that, just demolish him. At 4 million health, most classes can probably down him in about a minute and a half.

Comentario de antibrian

After killing him, many Parasitic Shadowfeinds kept spawning and murdering me. What's the deal?

Comentario de voodoopimp

If you have decent DPS and/or self-healing, you can just stand in the fire while you kill the flames and not have to worry about accidentally pulling them too far. The rest of the fight should be trivial for any class.

Comentario de Nekrotik

At level 90 with decent raid gear, there's only one thing to know about soloing this fight. In the second phase, stand in the middle of the circle to kill the fire elementals that spawn there. If you move them away, they'll enrage and quickly kill you. The fire coming out of the ground won't hurt much, and you'll easily burn them down to start the last phase. Fighting Illidan himself is easier than drowning a kitten (not that I would know).

Comentario de 501544

Solo'd at 90 as a SMF war, save cd's for flames phase and kill them asap rest is cake.

Comentario de Sharessa

90 Feral Druid with iLevel 480 (mix of Valor and heroic 5-man gear). Specced Renewal (use when necessary) and Dream of Cenarius (use with 5 combo point Predatory Swiftness procs for healing).

The only hard part about this fight is phase 2. When a Flame of Azzinoth gets too far away from the blade that spawned it, it will increase its damage by 500%. If you're soloing this gets to be problematic since you can't be by both blades at once. The solution is to stay close to one of the blades while DPSing the Flame that spawned at the other blade until it is dead. Blow all cooldowns for this part of the fight and void standing in the fire if possible, too. Once the far Flame is dead, kill the other one and phase 3 will begin.

For all the other phases, I just did my normal DPS rotation and healed when Predatory Swiftness procced.

The other fights that gave me problems in the Black Temple were Gurtogg Sangre Hirviente and El Consejo Illidari.

Comentario de Elfgar

Soloed Illidan today as ret pally ilvl 500. He killed me on first attempt which was my only death in BT on first solo run (I was surprised). The reason he killed me was I wasted too much effort before he threw the glaives and I didn't have enough peak DPS to quickly kill the elementals that emerge in phase two. On my second attempt I saved my CDs to burn down those green elementals. Then in phase three I waited until the last possible moment to use my Lay on Hands to heal myself to 100%. After that I just avoided the blue stuff on the ground and burned him up... the end was kind of sad for me because BT is now so easy.

Comentario de 968833

Absolutely no problem for a combat rogue

just remember to save your cds for the flames and For the love of god stay in the middle if you move out of the middle the adds will cream you if you stay in the middle the flames do nothing

Comentario de Aeolynn

Just a tip for the ones soloing this one: there is a huge chance that phase 2 will still kill you as a 90, if you stay near one of the Warglaives and just dps the Elementals. You should stay in the very middle of the circle for some easy time.

Comentario de talenlee

For those of us soloing the Black Temple who aren't old hands at it, in a post-Pandaria world:

When you head up the stairs, turn left, not right. It'll put you closer to Akama to start the encounter.
When he throws down the Blades of Azzinoth, you want to keep the fire elementals NEAR their blades, not AWAY from their blades. I can't find any mention of this anywhere - if you pull them away from the blades, they will go rather nuts and kill you to death. Sticking in the circle should be plenty close enough.
There is no 'demon' phase, nor any need to do any malarkey with traps. At around 20% health, Illidan will drop to his knees and start a speech. Burn him here. Maiev will appear, she'll get stroppy with him, and rather than getting into the traps-and-triggers stuff, you can just pound on him. He'll drop pretty easily.

Those are the only real changes I can find in this encounter from the historical comments presented here.

Comentario de 1128392

462 Ret Pally. Was a very easy solo. He was down without much problem. On elementals keep in the circle and dps them down quick. After that it is a tank and spank with no major issues to worry about.

Good luck!

Comentario de direpath

Note to soloers, as this was revealed to me by a guildie...

I had not killed him solo as I had little to seek from him except reputation. I had a heck of a time versus the Flames as they could crisp me even in T13.

Their damage is greater further from their respective glaive. So...

Stand next to a glaive. Burn the furthest one first and the second one will be simple.

Comentario de ClearlyConfused

Before I start I'd like to tell anyone that is looking, You CANNOT, I repeat, CANNOT skip to Illidan; you must still kill all other bosses before the concubine chamber opens.

I solo'ed Illidan as a iLvl 503 Guardian druid.

The fight was pretty straight forward: attack, move, loot. The only thing that may screw you is Phase 2 when he throws his glaives. As others have mentioned, the further away an Elemental is to its glaive the more damage it does (and it can get ugly fast) so pop your O-%^&*s (CD's) on which ever one you choose then move the other to its original glaive; unless you have good spell awareness, then just heal though the damage. After that its back to a regular tank-and-spank fight.

Comentario de Morbius

Soloed this with my 85 blood DK in 417 ilevel gear including Jade Forest greens and auction house blues.

This fight happens in three phases. In the first phase you fight Illidan. Then he flies up and throws down his warglaives and two elementals spawn. After you kill them Illidan lands and you fight him.

In the second phase fight the two elementals in the middle of the grate because the damage they do increases the further away they are from their warglaive. By fighting them in the middle you keep their damage low. They also lay down an AE that you should avoid.

After the elementals are dead Illidan will land and you can finish him off. He puts a DOT on you that didn't seem to do much damage to me.

It was very easy with my ilvl 498 frost DK (no enchants, no gems, not even reforged to the right level, as this is just a slave alt)
The only one thing, which was mentioned that in P2 you have to stand in the middle and use some CD. Quickly dps down the 2 big adds. Funny thing that there are some puddles on the ground which are damaging you when you stand in them AND they have the same colour as the big adds. I just realized when one was already dead that I am still loosing HP; I was standing in this thingy. When I moved out, it was fine again, but then the other add was also dead.

The rest of the fight is easy.

I am surprised that no one has talked about this in official forums, on WowHead or any other places.

Just like Naxxramas' removal with Wrath of the Lich King, I am guessing that Black Temple might be removed since Illidian is coming back. Do you think it would be the case for Black Temple? Would the items, especially the glaves, be unobtainable just like old Naxx items? I have most of the items and I have started to farm the glaves for a few other chars who can use them but I just wanted to know what others are thinking.

Killing him on my newly minted Demon Hunter is a bit strange. But I do want the original glaive and I want the original blindfold. With my glowing eyes, the blindfold doesn't really covers the eyes.

Comentario de Maravec

So, I just finished soloing Black Temple.

I read through a few comments that stated there are some issues with initiating the fight with Illidan, as well as ending the fight. What I found was that reaching the point where Akama tells you Illidan is meditating in the courtyard and then running toward Illidan should cause him to turn his head and address Akama. As for ending the fight, there's a tendency for some NPCs to have the "I would've gotten away with it, too" dialog, and I've noticed some NPCs won't die until they've gotten in the last word. Such is the case with Illidan, after which it was necessary for me to whack him once more. Wait until it falls quiet, then smack him. That did the trick, and let me loot his corpse.

Comentario de tankspank1
