Status Killable

Twilight Arcanist Zin'fanel is a boss in the Pit of Saron in Icecrown Citadel. Throughout Northrend, she has worked towards securing sites of arcane power from the blue dragonflight, and in gaining control over the mysterious Malevolence that has awakened in Azeroth's ley line network. Instead, it is she that has fallen under the Malevolence's command, and now serves the evil force completely, having abandoned the Old Gods. Zin'fanel has hidden her new allegiance and still stands with the Twilight's Hammer within the Pit of Saron. She oversees the forces there at the staging grounds below the Scourgelord's Command, where Krick and Ick once stood.

Strategy

The Malevolent Eradicator is the most powerful minion at Zin'fanel's disposal.

Zin'fanel will shield herself with Arcane Forcefield. As her mana drops, she will cast either Summon Malevolent Drakonids, Summon Malevolent Worshippers, or Summon Malevolent Eradicator every 30 seconds. When her mana drops to 1%, she will enter phase two. She must be slain before her Arcane Bane debuff renders the party unable to survive Malevolent Discharge.

In heroic mode during phase one, Arcane Death Rays will continually arc from Zin'fanel and slowly chase players. More rays will spawn as Zin'fanel's mana drops. When Zin'fanel enters phase two, her brother Fin'zanel will also appear and engage the party. Fin'zanel will not attack in melee but will frequently cast Polymorph and Arcane Missiles. Periodically, he will blink to one of three points on the outer edge of the combat area and cast either Twilight Fireblast or Twilight Flamestrike, both of which must be interrupted or they will either deal lethal damage to a random target or massive damage to the entire party. If his health is reduced to 50%, he will use Twilight Iceblock and prevent all damage while regenerating his health to maximum. When Zin'fanel is slain, he will teleport away.
