Illidan Stormrage assignment sheet

Black Temple · World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade (Anniversary realms)

Illidan Stormrage runs through five phases: melee, Flames of Azzinoth with fire-resist tanks, a mixed phase, the demon form that needs a shadow-resist warlock tank, and the final phase with Maiev. Positions and swaps change every phase.

Notes for the raid leader

• Flame tanks need fire resist; the demon-phase warlock needs shadow resist — both fill from the resist database.
• Demon phase: healers H1–H5 spread across the markers with the tanks.
• No holy paladin in the melee stack here — Flame Crash / Shear zone, no melee in P2.
• Innervates: a druid tanking a Flame of Azzinoth is free to innervate once the flames are dead.
