She is said to have been locked shortly after the War of the Ancients, not with the other demon hunters in the modern era (demon hunter starting experience). It's a mess.

Overview
Illysanna fights players on the ground as her Fury bar builds. When it fills, she leaps into the air and unleashes deadly eye beams as she calls her risen guards to dispatch the party. Each eye beam partially depletes her Fury, and when she can no longer use eye beams to attack the party, she lands, re-engaging on the ground.

Didn't she JUST die after being blasted out of the sky on your mission to retrieve Twin Blades of the Deceiver? Her body was moved on top of a sacrificial altar...Then when you return home immediately and open the portal to Fel Hammer there she is as if she was part of the force left behind on Mardun even though she was part of the crew that got locked up by the Wardens.
