High Warlord Naj'entus Supremus Shade of Akama Teron Gorefiend Gurtogg Bloodboil Reliquary of Souls Mother Shahraz Illidari Council Illidan Stormrage Black Temple Boss Guide
Shade of Akama is the dark soul of Akama that binds him to Illidan Stormrage's service. This is the third boss in the the Black Temple. Once Shade of Akama is defeated all Ashtongue Deathsworn mobs will become friendly to the raid.
General Overview
Shade of Akama is one of the easier encounters in Black Temple however even Sunwell guilds can wipe on it if people are not paying attention.
- You will want to have a 2 groups consisting of a tank and off tank (fury warrior in tank gear should be fine), 3-4 dps along with 2 healers for each side (left and right). Tank will grab elementalist's, rogues and spiritbinders. Defenders should be allowed to pass. Off tanks are responsible to pick up any mobs that get past and head for dps/healers
- A tank will be placed in the middle with a dedicated healer and he will pick up the Defenders. These do not need to be dps'ed until the Shade starts to approach Akama. Prot paladins and Bear druids do well tanking these.
- Melee dps and any extra caster dps are up top killing channelers, dps should be focused. Call when channelers are dead and Shade is released.
- DPS order of adds are Healer (if left alone he will heal through your dps), Elementalist who casts AOE rain of fire, and finally rogues
- When Shade is released all remaining mobs should be quickly burned and cooldowns and trinkets should be used to kill Shade before he reaches Akama, you will have 60 seconds.

General Tips
- Once the channelers are dead, Akama will come out and tank Shade of Akama. Applying a stackable debuff that increases all damage by 5%, all damage should be all out as aggro cannot be taken from Akama.
- Save all major cooldowns until you are damaging Shade of Akama as you will have to damage the Shade down before Akama dies (which will reset the encounter).
- Shade has no aggro when released, he will only head for Akama so feel free to dps! Tanks feel free to grab any mobs and healers just top off the raid and watch tank doing defenders.
