Summary

Al'Akir the Windlord was the Elemental Lord of air. He ruled over his domain of Skywall from his seat at the Throne of the Four Winds. Of all the elemental lords, Al'Akir was known to be the cleverest^[2] and was once the foremost tactician in the Old Gods' horrific armies.^[1] Aligned with the corrupted Dragon Aspect Deathwing and his fellow Elemental Lord Ragnaros in their efforts to usher in the end of days, Al'Akir was defeated by the mortal champions of Azeroth, who were able to enter Skywall from the breach in Uldum and destroy the Windlord within his own sanctum.^[1]

Notable Attacks & Techniques:

Stage One: Your Challenge is Accepted!

Al'Akir periodically casts Squall Line, Wind Burst, Ice Storm and Lightning Strike on random players. He casts Static Shock on any target in melee range and Electrocute on his primary target if that target leaves melee range.^[1]

• Ice Storm: Al'Akir creates a Blizzard that moves around the platform he is fought on, leaving Ice Patches on the ground behind it. Deals 15000 Frost damage every 0.5 sec to all enemies standing within the radius of the ice patches on the ground. This effect will persist as long as the target remains in this area.^[1]
• Static Shock: Al'Akir shocks all nearby enemies, deals 1000 Nature damage per second, interrupting any spells cast. Lasts 5 sec.^[1]
• Electrocute: Channels a bolt of electricity into the caster's current target, dealing increasing Nature damage over time. Al'Akir will only use this if his opponent is outside of his melee range.^[1]
• Wind Burst: Deals 28275 to 31725 Nature damage to all enemies, knocking them back. 5 second cast.^[1]
• Lightning Strike: Deals 19000 to 21000 Nature damage in a cone facing a random enemy every second for 30 sec. This effect chains off all enemies affected causing 19000 to 21000 to all other enemies affected.^[1]
• Squall Line: Creates two walls of Tornadoes that circles around Al'Akir's platform with an obvious opening in the line players must move to. 40,000 damage per second to those touching the Squall line.^[1]

Stage Two: Your Persistence Angers Me!

At 80% health, Al'Akir no longer casts Wind Bursts but continually brings down Acid Rain and spawns Stormlings.^[1]

• Static Shock: Al'Akir shocks all nearby enemies, deals 1000 Nature damage per second, interrupting any spells cast. Lasts 5 sec.^[1]
• Electrocute: Channels a bolt of electricity into the caster's current target, dealing increasing Nature damage over time. Al'Akir will only use this if his opponent is outside of his melee range.^[1]
• Squall Line: Creates a wall of Tornadoes that circles around Al'Akir's platform with an obvious opening in the line players must move to, much like Sartharion's Flame Tsunamis. 40,000 damage per second to those touching the Squall line. Two walls of Tornadoes on Heroic.^[1]
• Acid Rain: Deals 500 Nature damage per second to all enemies. This effect will increase by 500 every 15 sec until Al'Akir enters phase three.^[1]
• Stormling: Summons a Stormling add with a nature damage aura that will apply Feedback to Al'Akir when slain. Deals 2375 to 2625 Nature damage every second to all enemies within 20 yards (on Heroic increasing Nature damage they take by 25% for 2 sec, Stacks.)^[1]

Stage Three: Enough!

Al'Akir shatters his platform and creates a zone-wide Relentless Storm, lifting all players into the air and giving them the Eye of the Storm buff as long as they remain near him.
