Lord Alexei Barov

Scholomance

Lower study rooms

Descend to The Ravenian, Lord Alexei Barov and Lady Illucia Barov. Prepare crowd control for Alexei's linked guards before approaching him, and clear Illucia's surrounding enemies before Fear can send someone into them. Finish the remaining chambers before returning to the central study.

Lord Alexei Barov

Elite Undead

Alexei tests control of his linked guards while Unholy Aura damages nearby players and Veil of Shadow sharply reduces the healing they receive.

Abilities

  • Unholy Aura

    Causes the caster to automatically inflict 150 Shadow damage every 2 sec. to nearby enemies. The aura lasts until cancelled.

    Keep the healer and ranged attackers away from Alexei's Unholy Aura rather than making them take its repeated Shadow damage.

  • Veil of Shadow

    Reduces healing effects for nearby enemies by 75% for 15 seconds.

    Remove Veil of Shadow as a curse before committing large heals into its healing penalty. It is not removed by a magic dispel.

  • Immolate

    Burns an enemy, then inflicts additional Fire damage every 3 sec. for 21 seconds.

    Immolate adds continuing Fire damage to its initial hit. Account for it on a target also taking Unholy Aura damage or affected by Veil of Shadow.

Tank
Prepare control for Alexei's linked guards before the pull instead of attempting to pull them separately. Hold Alexei away from the healer and call immediately when Veil of Shadow reduces your incoming healing.
Healer
Heal from outside Unholy Aura where possible. Request curse removal on Veil of Shadow before spending large heals, and watch for Immolate adding damage to a player already affected by the aura.
Damage
Control or focus the linked guards before leaving their damage on the tank through Veil of Shadow. Ranged players should stay outside Unholy Aura; help remove Veil if your class can remove curses.
