Current known bosses -The two jormungars Acidmaw and Dreadscale. Comment by Runemonger What would be cool is if Anub'arak turns unattackable at 80k hp and breaks free from the Lich King's control. Comment by Darknezz92 I don't know about that, I mean. Would it just clear out and be horde accesible. That would be pretty awesome, a new capital for the Horde xD. Comment by rmziidx As written in "Road to Damnation": Indicating one of the undead spider-things, he said, "You bear them some resemblance.

Are you all derived from the same race? Then the master came. As his influence spread, we made war upon him, foolishly believing we stood a chance. Many of us were slain and raised into undeath. In life I was a king. Today I am a crypt lord. Note that I am not disregarding the difficulties of beating them, just saying that they show up in the story not really as "major events" but more like "side story sons of a gun".

A game that generates millions can not simply end due to "lack of lore bosses to smack down and loot". As for what they will come up with I'll leave that to everyone's imagination For this encounter you will need two tanks and at least 2 healers for 10man and 4 healers in 25man. Gormok the Impaler. Healers will still have to heal the currently non tanking tank cause impale is a physical DoT. Gormok will also throw Snobolds on random raid members.

These little buggers will interrupt spell casting on the target they're on. DPS has to kill these guys before the raid becomes overwhelmed with them. Gormok will also cast Staggering Stomp which will hurt all the Melee and interrupt spell casting in the entire room for 8 seconds.

It's a fast 0. Last thing he does is his Snobolds will throw fire on a raid member and fire will be planted below.

Get out of the fire and don't even stand close to it because it will kill you fast. If this lands on a melee then the tank will have to move Gormok. Acidmaw and Dreadscale can each be tanked seperately. One will always be submerged while the other attacks on land. The tank tanking the one on land must be sure to keep it facing away from the raid because of a spit they cast. Acidmaw will fart out Grob clouds so the tank must be constantly moving him. There are two key debuffs to look out for.

Acidmaw will hit someone and nearby targets with Paralytic Toxin and Dreadscale will hit someone with Burning Bile. Players with the Paralytic Toxin will gradually start to slow down and eventually become comatose for a few seconds. The raid member with Burning Bile on them will hurt nearby raid members so avoid them. To remove these debuffs safely, players with the Paralytic Toxin will have to stack on players with the Burning Bile.

It should be a rule that the burning bile'd player moves to the poisoned player no matter what because the toxin will stop them from moving. Icehowl is a tank and spank and can be done with just 1 tank. Icehowl hits very hard and frequently so it would be recommended to have assigned tank healers for this fight.

The tank for this fight should have a lot of stamina and armour because Icehowl casts an ability called Ferocious Butt which deals physical damage and stuns the tank for 3 seconds. He will also cast Arctic Breathe on a random raid member and anyone nearby in a cone and freeze them for 5 seconds.

Healers should be spread out from each other so all the healers don't get frozen at the same time. Icehowl will stomp on the ground and send everyone flying to the sides of the coliseum stunned. He will target someone, jump back, then rush towards them.

You must get out of the way by strafing. You will get a speed boost after the stun wears off. As soon as you are unstunned you will receive a speed buff, you need to get out of his way ASAP once you're unstunned. The point is to get him to charge at you, miss and hit the wall. Comment by Who is to say that new lore will not be created to add new content?

I think this would be wise. Comment by Keley No more "brb". Comment by Anub'Arak remembers you.. Comment by rzzr It's worth saying that unlike the 5 man instance you cannot run back in if you die. Comment by how long does this instance take? Comment by Chimie This is the way things go. Players who've been around since Vanilla know the story, most of our Tier 3 gear was replaced in Hellfire by quest reward items , what was our hard work in 40 man Naxx or AQ40 worth?

Much the same, when Magister's Terrace was released and along with it the very first badges, Badges of Justice. Heroic Magister's Terrace gave out Tier 5 equivalent loot, and H MgT gave out plenty of easy epics--many of which, especially the trinkets were on par with loot from Hyjal and Black Temple and above the level of Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep. The fact of the matter is, Naxxaramas is -old- content.

Its almost 10 months old now, it's left off most realm progression threads, and has been for many months. Pugs regularly clear Naxx in less than hours. With the furthering progression into 3. The gear curve is a "problem" that will be repeated throughout WoW until the day it dies. It obviously is blizzards intent. While it does allow casuals to get raid-level gear, the ultimate question is, so what? By the time the receive this gear, if you're a dedicated raider, you've moved on to new encounters, new gear, new achievements.

Their gain in ilevel doesn't hurt anything except elitist raider egos. Comment by yzerman A few tips for the first few bosses Northrend Beasts : Turn shadow quality up a bit. When Gormok the Impaler throws a firebomb it casts a shadow that is easily visible by the targeted raid member. When you see it coming for you, move. Stay spread out through all 3 encounters. Although not yet implemented into DBM, there is a hard enrage timer of 15 minutes from when you first engage Gormock the Impaler.

You will be given a break after the Northrend Beasts are down. The encounter will not start until you start it. To start the next encounter talk to whomever your NPC is to start the next challenge.

Lord Jaraxxus will be summoned. He has 4. This raid member needs to be healed until the Incinerate buff falls off more info is found on wowwiki. You don't have much time to take out the boss before his adds spawn, with only 4. Edit: This fight has been changed and now the adds spawn just a tad bit quicker He has an ability called Fel Fireball that can and should be interrupted every time he casts it.

It is the only ability he has that has a cast bar, so it is easily spotted by a person specified to interrupt it. If your raid does not have the DPS for this fight, it will become apparent rather quickly as you will become overwhelmed. Much like Freya you do not have much time to burn the adds before the next set spawns. If you do not have the DPS to burn the adds and get some shots in on Lord Jaxx you will not beat the enrage timer.

The first add spawned for us was a Mistress of Pain. She had k HP and is rather easy to burn down quickly. Yes I just made a wrestling reference. The next adds that spawn are the Infernals. Lord Jaxx will lay down a volcano that will begin spitting out 3 adds 10 man that need to be tanked. Because of the way they spawn, dropping Consecrate or Death and Decay at the base of the volcano is pointless because it is a good bet that the adds will not land in them.

These are best burned down by the tank and ranged dps, although melee dps can help but they will require a bit more healing. Throughout the encounter someone will be targeted with Legion Flames. This person should immediately turn and run to the outside wall and keep moving until the debuff falls off as it lays a fire at your feet that will kill you if you stand in it too long.

Once Lord Jaxx is beat, you will have another break and face the Faction Champions. This is a fight against 6 10 man level 83 elite horde members. There is a chance to fight any class, in any spec. This fight is probably going to be a roadblock for many guilds for a while as the dynamics of this fight make it nearly impossible to plan for and nearly impossible to make a strategy small enough to fit into a comment for.

A few pointers: Unless you plan on pulling immediately without marking or any setup, I suggest that you have your raid stand on your factions side of the arena as the Horde will drop from the bleachers under their side, and the ally will drop from the bleachers on their side as soon as you talk to the faction rep. This fight does not start until you engage them. Engaging them immediately may sometimes cause the instance to bug making the champions disappear.

The champions will not reappear until your faction rep respawns, which does happen rather quickly. This fight does not require a tank as the nature of the fight is going to be a PVP arena style fight. Your raids healers will be priority targets for the NPC's. Ensure that they are well protected. PVP gear for healers and clothies is probably a good idea for this fight.

As this fight is not a dps race, but a survivability race PVP gear not only offers resilience, but much more stamina for those softer targets such as locks, mages, and priests. It is not necessary to have a rogue, however it is vital that the person on the other healer is able to control and interrupt the majority of the heals. After multiple successful attempts in both 10 and 25m versions of this fight, I feel more comfortable posting the order of importance, however let me make this very clear - every fight is different and each group needs to adapt to their own circumstances.

Even after the nerf to this fight this can still be a challenge for a group who doesn't adapt well to unforeseen obstacles such as a healer or their interrupter going down on the pull. The order for the kill should be as follows: -The Resto druid should always go down first. Hunters should use Tranq shot, shamans need to purge, rogues need to stun.

The druid is the hardest to get down because with one regrowth that is not dispelled he can out heal your dps. Shattering Throw or Mass Dispell are vital tools that your raid needs to have if they are up against the paladin to prevent him from becoming immune due to his bubble.

The reason these are second is that while their heals are rather large, they are easily out dps'ed by your DPS as long as the majority of them are interrupted. Once you get the healers out of the way, the rest is a downhill battle. Pick the targets such as the warrior, shaman or rogue that are doing the most damage to your soft targets and the hardest for your group to control and burn them down quickly. Without their healers it should be easy for a geared group to down them.

Final tips: Watch your surroundings. Just because you are a healer or another soft target dont put your faith in your plate dps to be able to pull targets away from you. Comment by There is no break between the multiple waves of each boss encounter e.

Northrend Beasts is one boss encounter , but there is a break between each encounter with the usual talk-to-npc-to-start approach. This takes the form of the Tournament and its associated Trials, all of which are basically staged training exercises. I suspect that the collapse of the colosseum floor and Anub's appearance are outside their plans, and thus more significant lore-wise, but we haven't seen the flavor text around that in game yet.

Comment by The second fight, Lord Jaraxxus is now available for this raid. A gnome shows up to summon a minor demon for the party but ends up summoning this Demon Lord instead. After the Demon Lord swats the gnome dead, he attacks the party.

From a ranged mage perspective, here is what I encountered during the fight: He will summon adds during the fight, first will be a Sister demon that an offtank should pick up and ranged should burn down. The other type of adds he will summon is three Inferno demons about 85k life on non-heroic 10 man.

They do an AoE and should be single targetted down. During all this, the Demon Lord will put a debuff on a random player unfortunately, I forget the name and the healers must heal that person for a certain amount to dispell it before it does massive AoE fire damage to the entire raid and also applies a further damaging debuff to everyone that ticked for me around per tick for about 4 or 5 seconds.

You can steal all five stacks. There's more, but this is all I encountered as range DPS during the encounter. We were able to kill him on our third attempt.

Comment by Just as general information, my warlock with 3 pieces of ulduar gear, mainly naxx gear pugged the Northrend Beats and Jaxx. We wiped only once on the beasts because a priest died to a kobold. Once we got on those adds, we did fine. You will be rewarded with ilvl epics and 6 badges of triumph. Anyways, I wanted to add to what the mage above me said. You spread out to avoid the legion lightning thing, it does fire damage.

That way it won't chain much. You focus the maidens no matter what unless you are going for the achievement.

For the infernals, they come out of some volcano thing. They hit pretty hard, an OT works wonders here. Also, after a few seconds they change into what looks like a "meteor. They are immobile while they do this. Also, the incinerate flesh or whatever is what the mage was talking about, if that person isn't healed they will do big aoe damage to the raid. The debuff will drop when you keep healing, although initially the person will be unhealable until a certain amount of healing has been done.

Then the debuff will clear. Therefore it is important as a dps to be aware of your surroundings and not be near the infernal volcanoes when they spawn they hit like 8k on 10 man normal when they land , or not be too close so you won't get hit with legion lightning. If you kill the adds swiftly and heal through incinerate flesh you will dominate this guy. Comment by Cryptopsy Can somebody tell me where this sits in difficulty?

Quick Facts. Comments Comment by Zaikinff Quest a bit tricky before max level, for non tank classes because of Horridon. You can get there by taking a portal from Dalaran to Vale of the Eternal Blossoms in Pandaria, and from there take the portal to old Dalaran. From old Dalaran you can fly to Trial of the Crusader, Hide of Occu'thar from Occu'thar in Baradin Hold. Zone should be controlled by your faction otherwise you can't enter the dungeon.

Hide of Horridon from Horridon in Throne of Thunder. Here is my main Skinning post: Legion Skinner. You can find more info about the profession there.

Comment by astraios this needs to be done on at least normal mode. As soon as the first fight started, I was converted to a Marksmanship Hunter and my weapon Titanstrike was grayed out.

I literally had no attacks I could do and the boss wasn't doing any damage. I used Feign Death to stop the fight and leave. I then switch back to Beast Mastery, dismissed my pet, and went back in. This time no trouble. One shot to kill each boss and I got the hide. I don't know whether it was having an active pet, or whether it was the Core Hound that caused the glitch the first time.

Comment by nyo89 The fact you need to do old content pvp like tol barad for a legion quest is simply ridolous imho. Alliance in my server group simply stay all the day there farming Comment by mybelovedchaos Its fine that we have to do old content. I like the old stuff, but pvp old content? I did not, and while my hunter had no problems with Icehowl in Trial of the Crusader, It took me 6 tries to kill the first boss in Throne of Thunder.

Then it was clear after 4 failed attempts at Horridon I was going to need help to get his skin. I did know I was in a man raid, and I assumed this was what the quest called for.

Curious, I left the instance and found I could select the man option. I returned to the instance and easilly dispatched Horridon and looted the hide. Ten man vs. They should give an alternative way to complete these quests. A for effort. F for implementation.

Comment by myoung OK So, many of us have expressed our disdain with the Tol Borad portion of this quest. I am here to give you a viable solution. History Talk 9. RDF feed. Patch date. Universal Conquest Wiki.

Trial of the Champion 5. Defeat Acidmaw and Dreadscale within 10 seconds of each other. Defeat Lord Jaraxxus while at least two Mistresses of Pain are alive. Defeat the Twin Val'kyr in 3 minutes or less.
