Strategy

When you approach Grand Warlock Nethekurse, he will have 3 non-elite Fel Converts standing in front of him. After the 3rd of these are killed (the order does not matter), Nethekurse will attack the group.

Throughout the fight, he will place down 'void zones' that will begin to do 1000 Shadow damage per second after 1 second of being placed. Moving out of these as soon as possible is advisable for everyone including the tank.

He will also Death Coil random people which will do 2000 Shadow damage to the person hit, fear them for 4 seconds, and heal Nethekurse (presumably for 2000 HP).

At around 20% HP, Nethekurse will engage his 'Dark Spin' ability, in which he will begin to hit anyone directly around him for 2000 Physical damage and spit out Shadowbolts at random people in the group in rapid succession. The Shadowbolts hit for around 1500 Shadow Damage, and it is best to burn his remaining HP as quick as possible to limit deaths and a possible wipe.
