This guy is pretty easy to take down with a 5 man group, he has around 40k health and spawns adds, just keep the tank healed and a mage or warlock would be needed to aoe the adds. If you stand at the back of his little room you can avoid his aura :)

Commento di 2698

Notice that if you do not kill the adds, each will heal him for a certain amount 10 seconds after they're spawned - a mage is preferred if not a must in this situation.
Shadow resist buff is also really nice, either from priest or paladin.

Commento di ataylor

The two main things to consider in this fight are:

His damage aura. Every couple of seconds, everyone in range takes shadow damage. Casters can stay out of range if the tank keeps him on the far side of the room. Use shadow resist buffs if you got em. The Felstone Good Luck Charm from the Better Late Than Never quest line in WPL is handy to have here too.

The skeletons that get spawned. Make sure you take them down fast, otherwise they heal the Baron. Stratholme Holy Water is perfect, but a mage with Arcance Explosion is just as good.

Commento di 4124

Dosn't he drop an epic mount?

Commento di 8237

When you first enter the room note that he has a Shadow Damage Aura that covers almost the entire room, Healers/Ranged Classes should stand at the bottom left side of the room by the bone pile there. The tank should fight him up against the Top right wall so that the shadow damage aura doesn't hit the healers/ranged classes.

He hits fairly hard and has Mortal Strike himself and also summons skeleton adds fairly often.

The Skeletons adds he summons have about 400 HP and if they aren't killed within 10 seconds he consumes them and gains HP. If you are allowing skeletons to be consumed by him you will probably lose via your healer going OOM. A Mage is the best way to deal with the adds with Arcane Explosion, but Stratholme Holy Water found in crates around the instance will kill a group of them. Warlocks can also AOE them down too easily.

When the Skeletons summon they usually run to the healer pretty quickly so make note of that too.

Other than the skeletons its a pretty easy and straight forward fight.

Commento di OverlordQ

It's also a good idea to give your tank a couple Strat Holy Waters just in case the casters can't get the skeletons in time. It saved our hides a couple nights ago. Baron was down to 1.1k health, nobody had mana, and the skeletons were about to regen him, so I popped a strat holy water that killed the skeles and crit Baron for his 1.1k hit points.

Commento di CharlzO

Anyone who has the Medallion of Faith (which is picked up in Archivist Galford's room in Strat SC, or can be found at times in the AH), can turn it in at the building just after you enter the UD instance. When you reach the Baron, you get an extra person to help :) Also, each party member can collect the reward after your 6th member perishes.

The strategy we've used, with excellent success, is as follows: buff up outside, then the tank will go into the room and hug the right wall, while the rest go left and stand on the bone piles. This will keep you out of the aura, and still maintain range. Once ready, the tank (ideally warrior, but can be done with a Feral Druid, or Pally) charges into the Baron. Providing the tank can hold him still, you won't need to worry about the aura. The healer should be primarily concerned about keeping the tank alive, while the rest concentrate on the Baron and adds. As mentioned above, a Mage or Warlock is ideal for the AoE on the skellies, so they die before the Baron can heal from them. However, a Pally's consecrate, and Holy Water can also work.

(the last time I ran it, we used the Medallion for the first time, and either we had a LOT of power, or it really did help with the guy who comes to your aid, as I believe only one wave of skellies even spawned before the Baron had fallen.)

Commento di 31613

Anybody had any experience taking this guy out at level 70? If so, how many does it take? Would 2 druids and a rogue do fine (a tank, a healer, and dps)?

Commento di LordPlague

Soloed him several times with my 70 fury warrior, only problem is the swarms of undead that comes after ramstein is slain, baron is just charge, thunderclap, demo shout + 5 sunders then pop recklessness and deathwish and beat the crap out of him, be ready with health pot or lifegiving gem tho as he hits kind of hard. :)

Commento di MetalGenocide

Does anyone know what armor 'set' he is wearing?

Commento di zdravko

For baron rivendare fight it is important to know that adds heal the baron and attack your healer! And by the way you must be exalted with argent down for the mount to drop.

Commento di 78626

I guildy has been farming him for a while for the mount, the Runeblade of Baron Rivendare dropped from him the other night.

Commento di dogman1

5 months of farming this guy for the mount and it dropped. I didn't get it but what the hell. I still feel it was worth while. My friend won it and even though he doesn't use it any more (he thinks he looks stupid on it as a nelf). I was still was happy to see it drop. we 2-manned it 3 times a night 4 times a week. I'm a gnome rogue and he's a nelf feral druid (duh!).

Anyway i hope this help motivate fellow farmers out there. It does drop still =D

btw, not sure what sword folks are talking about but the only sword i saw drop was skullfire reaver or something and it dropped almost a dozen times and was sharded through out the months of farming. Is it a rare drop?

Commento di 18253

Quite simply, this is one of the rarest items in the entire game. That includes legendary loot droprates. Do not be surprised if you never even see this item in your entire WoW career.

Even with its farmable status amongst the new level 70 playerbase, it has only become more rare because of the lack of knowledge of pre-BC instances.

Good luck, you're going to need it.

Commento di 25840

Does anybody know if the baron can be done solo with a 70 char?

Commento di 99249

Baron Rivendare is doable as a lvl 70 Frost Mage.
I sort of was bored, I so decided to Solo Strath. Killed everything in Living side (Including the Dreadlord) and went to Undead side. Everything was well, till I met The baron. I managed to kill him on my third try.

If you ever attempt to kill him do it like this :

Start off with your main nuke(Frostbolt, duh) And let your pet attack. Camp your pet in one corner of the room, and go to the other side of the room. Just spam him with instants, and make sure you're always above 50%. When baron casts Shadowbolt you cast a frostbolt, when he gets close to you, Ice block, bandage/evocation and let the pet die. Cold snap and resummon, and do the same. Should be easy!

(The damn magister pants didn't drop -.-')

Commento di Skullraze

Soloable as a AR/Prep rogue (swords).

Commento di 102788

so... on WoWhead the drop % of the Deathcharger's Reins is shown as being super low.. but on the Atlas loot mod it says the drop % is .1%, and on WiWwiki (http://www.wowwiki.com/Deathcharger's_Reins) it says .01% And on WoWAmory (http://www.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=13335)it is listed as "Extremely Low (1% - 2%)". What is right?

Commento di 17624

The drop rate is actually LESS than 0.1%, but most places don't track at such low levels.

The short answer don't expect to EVER see this drop, and if you do, you probably should roll need, because everyone else will;)

Commento di 69921

I've solod him many times as a frost mage, very difficult and can be hairy if he resists a frostbolt or something, has lots of hp and hits extremely hard. (Ms crits for 2 k +)

Commento di 61566

Soloed 45 min run as a balance druid in S2/S3 gear. Important points are to use treants to help with the AoE packs before Baron. Do not use treants on the Banshee boss in order to avoid the mind control. Kill the adepts on the stairs leading to the third mini boss as quickly as possible, to avoid siphon soul. When fighting the Baron use Barskin + Hurricane on first skeleton summon then use your holy water on the second wave - this is enough time to kill him.

Commento di SeanDamnit

Solo'd as a 70 frost mage in mostly S1 welfare pvp gear. Had about 8700 HP/Mana. Just try to bounce threat back and forth using your water elemental and iceblock and he goes down pretty easily. It would be significantly easier if you had 2 piece T4 for the un-interruptible frostbolt, but 5 points in improved arcane missles will do the trick as well. I didn't have T4 at the time.

Note that there is a shadow aura that ticks once every 2 seconds. You will resist this the majority of the time. Because of that, I found it useful to have points in Magic Absobtion for a shit ton of mana regen. I had 3/5 points in it and got about 260 mana returned per tick. That's 650 Mp5, and made mana a complete non-issue.

Commento di Vigholm

Soloed as a 17/0/44 mage just 30 minutes ago...

Think I am catching the drift of how to kill him. So yeh, will try out to kill him again and maybe start farming if it proves out to be possible on constant basis.

Thanks to woks for tips on how to handle him.

Commento di Squirrely

To solo as a feral druid, I had to let rage build between skeleton waves and swipe swipe swipe when they showed up. Was close each time but they should die right before he uses dark pact on them. A close fight.

Commento di Vigholm

I've been farming this boss for couple of days now, not very intensively, like 1-2 times per day or so (because I've been farming Scholomance aswell, for d1 set pieces).. It makes a huge money, was 180g couple of days ago, 1400g now after spending alot of money on random items, pots, elixirs, all that... All the money purely from DEing items that drop from Scholo and Strat.. So it's really worth it.

Baron feels quite easy to me by now.. Today I killed him, leaving me alive with 5700 health (and 0 mana ;o) but yeah.. It's hugely based on luck, and timing. Sometimes I wipe on him due to going OOM, and most of the time it's when he is at around 1-5% health, so crits make a difference.

Commento di Yankee

I wonder why the mount isnt shown? well for those who cant find it, its called Deathcharger's Reins

Commento di 52757

Just soloed as a raid-specced Combat Rogue.

To get to him, avoid the very large group of non-elite undead mobs and take the patrol of elites, using cooldowns to kill them all before vanishing. Climb down just at the edge of Baron's room and wait for cooldowns.

Cloak of Shadows and run in to avoid a tick of the aura and Garotte. Blow all CDs except for Blade Flurry and burn him down: when the first wave of skeletons appears, wait for them to gather at Baron and use Blade Flurry. I had to use a Holy Water for a second wave of adds but with better gear you could get away with one wave.

Finished with 1400/9000 hp. Didn't drop reins :(

Commento di Meeran

Easy soloed as lvl 70 BM hunter with pvp gear.
Only have pet on Baron and have mend pet up all time.
And use explosion trap for the skeletons.
Not hard at all :)

Commento di Propane

I'm a little late to the party, but a way of cheapening this fight is to get shadow resists up - via Priest buff or Pally aura (they don't stack) - which will lower the shadow damage aura, if not full resist it.

Another neat trick is to get a Mage to Dampen Magic everybody, lowering the damage even further. You may be thinking 'But that will lower healing taken too much!' Well, yes and no. On the one hand it will lower healing taken, but with the Shadow resist and Dampen, the group needs significantly less healing, making the healer's life much easier.

This works wonders on both Lord Alexi Barov and Baron Rivendare.

Commento di VooktaVelen

64 baron kills thru side door run & still no beast pants dropped :( I got the worst luck ever, how ever his mount did drop and i lost the roll.

Commento di 145116

As a feral druid, I am have been soloing this isntance for some week now. I run through all instance in catform until Rammsterin the Gorger (and for some second to kill those roaches between the 2 portcullis). Just kill 3 minibosses wihtout touching any other mob (they don't even bring you under 70% of your health), then skip Barthilas and kill all abominations. From Rammstein to Baron just stay in Bearform. You can easily end the whole instance in around 30 minutes or less. It is around 50 g each run from blues and greens (thoday 2 identical abominations I killed with a swipe dropped me 2 valor belts!)

Commento di veno3

70 Frost Mage -

Pretty much start in the left corner, pop elemental, trinket + icy veins.
Iceblock after a bit so he goes for your pet then move into the other corner and start nuking him again. Arcane Explosion/CoC should have the adds sorted.

Also if you have 'Magic Absorption' talent you will get a nice mana return from resisting his aura (i was getting around 400mp5).

All about timing really, first try got him to 8%.. then dead with 600hp at the end :>

Commento di 121748

see my post in ramstein the gorger comments.

baron is also soloable like this, doesn't rely on blazing speed though. and that definately needs a pot.

Commento di 164530

Can be soloed by a warlock (I am my own breed of SL/SL). I have 2/5 vengeful, full gladiator's otherwise. Some Kara epics.

Baroness Anastari
Sac/dismiss your pet to avoid mind-control and use Shadow Ward. You'll resist 80-90% of her attacks.

Rat traps
I have siphon life so I just target as many rats as possible and cast it. You will die here if you try to cast Seed of Corruption.

Nerub'enkan
He can hit kind of hard and those spiders he spits out at you suck and interrupt drain life, so it's best to let the voidwalker tank it and dps him down nice and slow. He hasn't really been a problem for me.

Caster packs
These guys can own you if you're not careful. DoT them up, Shadow Ward and cast fire spells to burn them down (I believe they have some form of shadow absorb/resist because my drain life is absorbed throughout the fight sometimes).

Maleki the Pallid
He's pretty easy. Casts frostbolt and sometimes turns you or your pet into blocks of ice. I've never had a problem with him.

Magistrate Barthilas
I see this guy causing a problem as he hits pretty damn hard. When I was attempting to get the key to the city solo (before he runs away to his second spot), I died over and over and was never able to get him down. Try to burn him down as soon as you lose aggro from your voidwalker and spam drain life while refreshing dots.

Abominations
Pull the ghouls outside of the aboms room because they randomly aggro sometimes. Once inside the aboms area, go ahead and pull one at a time. Cast a seed of corruption on the spawned ooze before the bile spewer dies. When the other oozes spawn (upon his death) the seed will pop and good times will be had by all.

Ramstein the Gorger
Same strat as Magistrate. (See alternate strategy below.)

Lots of adds
Park your voidwalker close to the door where the adds spawn before you kill Ramstein. It is VERY important that your VW gets aggro and not you. Once the packs start arriving at your voidwalker, Seed of Corruption the hell out of them - you need at least 4 or 5 seeds. If you have stragglers, use a Stratholme Water. (See alternate strategy below.)

5 elite adds
These are easier than I thought they would be. Have your pet aggro all 5. Cast Curse of Weakness on all of them. Get one add on you, DoTted up, ASAP. Then burn another one. Heal your pet if you need to to aggro more of them. It's easy as long as your pet doesn't tank all 5.

Put your pet on passive and head to baron. Shadow Ward, run inside. Let your VW tank baron. Keep Curse of Weakness up at all times, as well as Siphon Life. Your main damage will be from drain life or shadow bolt (or corruption, whatever you wish). Just don't pull aggro off of your VW. Don't heal your pet when he summons the adds or they will aggro you. Cast Seed of Corruption on him when he summons his adds and drain life until it pops. If he resists, use a water.

Good luck!

Alternate strategy:
Kill the last abomination right up by the door on the slaughterhouse. As soon as he dies, Ramstein will open the door. Run inside and kill him in there. BEWARE! As soon as Ramstein dies, the 5 elite adds will spawn and aggro. If you can survive this, do it this way because you avoid all the little aholes that spawn after Ramstein dies.

Alternate strategy #2:
Take your voidwalker to the west gates in the slaughterhouse area and put him on stay. Have him tank Ramstein there. As soon as Ramstein dies, use an invisibility potion. Your voidwalker will get aggro from all of the non-elite adds and this gives you ample time to cast seed of corruption. I was going to test a Flask of Petrification? but tried this first and it worked wonderfully! This is by far the easiest way to overcome the non-elites. The lesser and regular invisibility potions share the same cooldown timer of 10-minutes.

Commento di 146079

Just soloed as mm hunter.
basic tactics: lay down explosive trap as soon as you engage him (this will quickly aoe first pack of adds and sooner you place it sooner your cooldown will be over) basicly nuke him but make sure pet stays alive he hitted my pet ~70 (not counting aura dmg) but i still found a problem to keep him alive.
when 2nd wave of adds spawn just nuke em with volley and replace traps as soon as your cooldown is over.. ignore 4th pack (by then pet should be almost dead nuke him and when he dies fd and adds will despawn..

all the trash to rivendare can be fd stealthed and minibosses are tank and spank (exept banshee she'll make you kill your pet) one of the hardest spots are 5 elites who spawn after you kill aoe pack. before they spawn dismiss your pet place ice trap in one side of the room wait till some of em gets trapped and others will run to other side of room and kill it while they come to you.. freeze one more and nuke other 3 (they doint have much hp)

i found it pretty easy only died 1 time in entire room clearing all UD bosses when fd was resisted 2 times in a row

gl :)

Commento di Kiliana

'Soloed' by dual boxing a Demo Sac Warlock and Resto Druid.
Similiar strat for a solid AoE class: DPS until skeles spawn, HoT up the druid and let the skeles go on him, AoE them down (one seed for a 1200 sp dmg lock), took a little time with pushback and hard MS/melees from Baron but otherwise simple enough.

(Druid was T4/ZA/KZ and Lock is T5/ZA/Badge)

Commento di 174673

Probably a noob question but I decided to start farming this guy for a chance at the mount but when I make it in to the slaughterhouse and kill all the abominations nothing happens. Ramstein isn't there and the Barons door is closed. So I end up locked in that area with nothing to kill and the only way out is to hearth. What do I have to do to get Ramstein to show up and Barons door to open?

DON'T YOU DARE give up on gettin' your horse no matter how many times they say, "You know what the chances are on that thing dropping?" I got EXTREMELY lucky and it drop after a week and a half of running strat a few times a day. I was prepared to run for a month or longer. KEEP AT IT, HE'S CALLING TO YOU! I think i yelled a lot when it dropped.

and it would never have happened without the help of some awesome peeps runing it two manned at a time:

Commento di Allakhazam

I tried him three times yesterday, suceeded on the first, wiped the last two. They keys are to get the tank to turn him around and pull him to the far end of the room, and for all mages, warlocks (and paladins?) to AoE the adds. Adds heal him, so kill them first and fast

Commento di Allakhazam

The loot tables were wiped when the new patch came out, due to the large changes to the way the instance would be played. The mount probably hasn't dropped, or someone hasn't been uploading.

Soloed as an affliction warlock.

Tips for soloing UD Strat:

When clearing to the Baron, take the path that doesnt involve having to aoe insects inside a gate, just clear through the path that leads from Baroness Anastari to Malleki the pallid. This will save you alot of time and headaches if u happen to die later on.

Clear all the plague ghouls around the entrance to the slaughter house as they can aggro later if you wipe on the huge aoe pack after rammstein.

After killing Rammstein, it takes no less than 3 seeds to down the huge aoe pack that follows.

Bring ALOT of Soul shards 20+.

When attempting the baron make sure u have a healthstone/ heal pot, you're basicly healing your pet the whole fight, keep CoA and siphon life up on Baron at all times, Seed of corruption right before or when he starts to cast his summon skellies spell. Save your strat holy waters for when things get rough.

Commento di Allakhazam

I want his mount, it looks really cool with a Night Elf on it =D

Deathcharger's Reins (The Barons Mount)

Commento di Allakhazam

As long as you keep your casters away from the baron, yes he is extremely easy. But if your healers get that interruption crap you could be in trouble. Usually interrupts your spell 2-4 times before you can get it off. You just need to keep him on the other side of the room and have mages ready to aoe.

Commento di Allakhazam

After I've clear all the abominations outside Baron's room, the abomination boss Ramstein the Gorger never turn up, and the door never open so I can't go in & kill Baron. I don't know what's going wrong.....

Problem with 5 Players is his mortal strike
last time we finished him with a 5 pl. grp Paladin went down on 50% (!) so hunter pet had to tank.. he ain´t that hard with a good grp.

Btw. finished him in 30:56 last time (beat it)

Commento di Allakhazam

Can be done in PUG, can be done on blue gear. But guildies and ventrilo as well as some epics help a lot.

First, keep pulling as long as casters have atleast 50% mana, casters sit and drink as soon as possible. Allmost all trash pulls can be 3manned in there if you don't get adds so manausers can pretty effectivly drinkrotate when needed.

Ideal party setup;
Warrior, if goodgeared he can 2h tank most for increased DPS.
Priest, shackle comes very handy as well as the buff
Hybrid, supportive healing and buffs/totems as well as supportive DPS when healing not needed
Mage, AoE is very very important at the Baron
Warlock (or random DPS if you have a Shaman hybrid)

Kill spiderboss to the left first, then go the counterclockwise turn and go back to kill the mindcontroll @#$%^, continue through the narrow ally (NOT the "trap" next to the spider). Kill the silly mageboss Maleki at the stairs. Once Maleki is dead, make sure the Priest is soulstoned or that the Shaman has an Ahnk ready.

Here comes the trick, suicide run down to the gates before the Rammstein event, but don't aggro the abdominations there. Everyone dies, priest/shaman selfres and resses the whole team.

You just saved yourself 10 minutes of trash or so and have plenty of time to take on the rest of the event.

Another tipp is to have the mage+hybrid clear out the trash from inside eatch building behind the bosses while the other three continues to clear trash, this saves about a minute or two for each of the three bosses.

Ive succeded in the 45min run a few times now, the oddest setup didn't have any mage at all, all the AoE was from a holy priest (imba geared one)

Commento di Allakhazam

I have to say, I'm getting a bit miffed at the supposed fairness in the loot table (assuming there is any fairness) - myself and a few members of my guild have taken him down over 15 times and we've seen the Beaststalker legs drop close to a half of the time. No Magister, Devout or Valor seen at all.

Commento di Allakhazam

FYI, you don't necessarily need a Mage or even a Warlock for the Baron fight. The minion he summons are extremely extremely weak. One full-rank of Consecrate will finish them off, as will an application of Stratholm Holy Water (which can be picked up outside in the crates).

We ran this with 2 hunters, paladin (me), warrior, and a druid. The Baron went down like a lamb. Hunters dps-blizzed the baron, while the druid and I concentrated on keeping the warrior up. Everytime the skeletons would come, I would round them up (easy with my healing aggro) and then Consecrate. They died in about 3 seconds.

FYI, for the Rammstein fight, you'll have 300 f*ckzillion skeletons rush you shortly after Ramm dies. Put up Concentration Aura, Consecrate, Holy Wrath, self heal, and another Consecrate will finish them all off. Again mage is not needed, although it will makes it quicker. The Skeleton guards after this are quite tough, since they hit very hard. I kept one feared, had the hunter pets off-tank and trap and just healed through the damage. Burned most of my cooldowns and mana on that fight though.

Commento di Allakhazam

I've seen the mount, someone in my guild on Cenarion Circle has it... also, I have only done one 45-min Baron attempt. It was with a mage, me(warlock), Warrior(dps warrior), Shaman(main healer) and I think a rogue.. lol I can't remember who the last was.

We pulled nonstop, I think wiped once, each of us died on seprate occasions, we did not loot anything except bosses and I was the designated d/e'er so I greeded everything while everyone else passed. We skipped Magistrate Barthilas when we got to him and ran right into Patchwork area.

After pulling and pulling we finally beat Ramstein and the guards, and engaged the Baron w/ 40 seconds left. We even almost lost our warrior during the fight because we were afraid we didn't have the time to prep, I think he engaged at like 60%hp or something, I had the warrior SoulStoned in case he dropped but we our healer came through and filled him up XD

I don't really much like 45min runs, and I can't say enough how glad I am to have succeeded on it on my first .. and maybe last, attempt. ^_^

So technically i soloed his undead smelly ass. and just my luck! my legs, mount drop. i told every1 to need on it cuz it was sooo rare.... and i won by 10! i tied on someone (55 druid) and it goes into inventory. so happy hunting ya'll!

Well, being the only warrior, I got nominated to tank. I rushed him, whacked him a few times and bolted for the corner..I tuned around and he was still sitting there chucking shadowbolts at me. I ran back to him and smacked him with my shield and tried dragging him back. Eventually he came but I died. A pally took over and the druid rezed me mid battle, just as both pallies die. I got aggro and switched to battle stance, bloodrage and 2 executes. Both healers were lvl 55 and out of mana by then...shoulda hit a pot, but I died then but the rogue finished him and a mage cleaned the skellys.

Dropped the shadowcraft pants for the rogue and the +17 intel ring for the priest. Kinda glad he saved the valor legs for another day because I picked up Peacemaker and the Crest of Retribution on the way in.

Wondering how to get aggro and then get him to FOLLOW you into the corner. I suppose a priest could silence him, but that would draw aggro. No way to duck line of sight that I could see. People who had done it before said you just have to wait on him, he comes eventually.

Yes, it was a CHALLENGE for me and I pumped my fist in the air when he went down. If he's easy for you and it makes you feel good to tell everyone how "uber-leet" you are, go for it.

If you kill the abominations too quickly one generally bugs into the floor, and can take up to 10 minutes to fix itself.
Just take them slowly if you find you're having problems, you could end up saving yourself some time.
I haven't tried for a while so it's possible they fixed it by now, but I sort of doubt it.
Good luck with the mount!

Commento di Allakhazam

I solo'd him with my Hunter... He only dropped his head and cape...

Commento di Allakhazam

did him warrior pally priest mage and hunter

warrior never went under 80% health
all had more than 50% mana at the end

buff baron!

Commento di Allakhazam

K well we downed a 45 min baron this previous Saterday with 3 pugs and 2 being of my guild =including myself. We had 2 pally's (one Holy speced and one Prot speced)we had hunter range speced,a mage Ice speced and a holy priest. We did a constant pull and inbetween pulls we took turns drinking mana. We looted all bosses and most of the mobs. We had pretty basic gear on all had the .5 gear and most of us had a few more tier 0 set none had thier tier 1. I as the priest was the only one that died(twice but the Pally quickly rezzed)Skipped the guy with the key. And killed the baron with 45 secs to spare when we walked through a portal back to IF. A good trick to remeber is get a holy priest who knows Lightwell the priest can drop it at anytime for a really low mana cost quickly every 10 mins. Make sure to have someone other than the priest who can rez(or warlock for SS). And DO NOT WIPE at all costs DO NOT WIPE. There is really no need for too many potions if the DPS is up. dont waste time talking unless it is absolutly neccsary(we didnt talk on vent it takes more time and you confuse other players)And basically never stop pulling assign someone to the postion to pulling. K well thats pretty muc ha basic run down and good luck to those who are ready for the .5 upgrade : )

Commento di Allakhazam

Me a 70 frost mage and a 70 fire mage friend and a random healer have run it many many times now and the mount has not dropped thats what happens with such a low drop rate .. At least its not like the ZG tiger boss mount 1 per server ewwwww

Commento di Allakhazam

I have been twice on 10ppl raid on this guy, I am lvl 58 atm, rest were all 60s and we killed him way too easily... He sure makes alot of damage, but he was dead in under 1 min.

Commento di Allakhazam

hes sooo easy to kill...as long as u have a mage killing the skeletal summons, and the priests far away from him healing mad...then hes easy. tanks gotta pull him to one side of the room and priests should give some shadow resistance buff

Commento di Allakhazam

On a recent Strat run, my Hunter friend got the Cape and Pants off the baron, and also Will of the Martyr. Meanwhile, me, also a Hunter, has done countless Scholo runs and have yet to see the Beaststalker Cap drop, while the same friend got it on his first or second run.

I just wanted to share my anguish with you. :)

Commento di Allakhazam

Does anyone know whether you have to engage incombat with him before 45 minutes or if you actually have to kill him for the tier o.5 quest?

Commento di Allakhazam

Can some1 give me some tactics how to kill him as mage ? and is it possible :D

Commento di Allakhazam

The only reason a 10-man group will wipe on him is if the tank doesn't pull him far enough away and his aura interrupts the casters. I've had this happen once, and ever since I've made a big deal of getting him away, and have yet to have it happen again.

Commento di Allakhazam

Alright, I see his sword drop rate like increase 10 fold since before the patch. I heard that Blizzard was increasing the drop rate of epics off of bosses but is this true? Neone wanna confirm this for me like with a post or something?

Commento di Allakhazam

why does that pick look like Invisus has hid head up Barons arse?

Commento di Allakhazam

what a bastard....i was supposed to sap him but he saw me and killed me...!

Commento di Allakhazam

NEone know the actual strategy to killing this guy? had, priest/pali/tank (me) mage and hunter... somehow even doing our roles just fine we wiped till our gear was red all 60s.

Did all UD Strat. One priest,a warrior,(ret/ prot) Pally(me), and 2 rouges. Took some work but got him down. Woot go "The Way" on Crushridge

Commento di Allakhazam

A mage in my guild got it two nights ago.

-Nah-

Commento di Allakhazam

this guy dropped a mount correct ?

if so can some1 please post a picture of what it maybe LOOKED like?

Commento di Allakhazam

Since the 1.10 patch, Allakhazam wiped the Baron's loot table, as it was changed by Blizzard.

The Baron now has 2 loot tables, one normal, and an improved one if you kill him within 45 minutes of opening the second gate. I think this mount will now be on this improved table.

Until patch 1.11, only those with the 0.5 tier armour quests have access to this improved table, this has been pointed out as a bug. 1.11 will see everyone who kills him within 45 minutes getting access to the better loot.

So for now, only those on the quest can get this mount, this will change in 1.11.

Commento di Allakhazam

we did this with 5 man no medalion and no shadow potions we didnt even have a single death. I wouldnt recommend dampen magic as i hampers healing more then his dmg.
This guy is definately doable without epic gear

Commento di Allakhazam

Both the items i needed dropped off him *the beaststalker's leggings and the cape* but i was accused of ninja looting earlier in the run when i didnt and got removed from the group...So now im gana have to do another 20 runs before it drops again...
<^>(=.=)<^> who was ever in that group

Commento di Allakhazam

Since its gonna be 5 man only this one is getting tough.

I would recommend the Warrior charging, possibly from the other side of the room, to keep the Priest out of range of the AoE.

Recommend you use some Holy water on the adds (one water should nail a spawn)
A substantial part of his damage is Shadow rather than physical so i would strongly recommend you get your Shadow Res gear on, did him 5 man last night with 140 Shadow res (all fairly easy to get blue gear and a Priest buff) took 7000, resisted 10,000, definately the difference between life and death bearing in mind how low my hps went before our Priest could fade the skellies and nail a greater heal.

With a 10 man raid you just need somone AoEing the skellies and make sure you are in no hurry, let the warrior get and maintain solid agro and you should be fine. I like getting a lock to do the AoE as they are the ones most likey to get agro in my gruild :P

Hit lvl 56 last night, and did a Baron run to try for Devout Skirt, and got it first try. Makes up for Solakar not dropping the Mantle in UBRS.

Patricio- 56 Priest-Shadow Moon

Commento di Allakhazam

Did this in a PUG a little while back. Our group consisted of:

Warrior
Paladin
Priest
Mage
Rogue

Paladin (myself) tanked for the majority of the fights and pulled with exorcism and holy light consistantly. Warrior used 2h for the majority of the fighting and put on his DPS gear. Mage and Priest took mana breaks as needed, we continously pulled so long as we had over half health. I healed if the priest ran out of mana and tried to only use damage spells to hold aggro and keep mana left over to heal if neccessary. We had a sharder who would steal the loot from the bosses and shard it at the end. We didn't bother looting the small stuff. We ended up wiping twice from bad luck with fears. We skipped the Magistrate boss.

We made it to the baron with 5 minutes to spare and killed him with 2 minutes to spare. The Tank switched his gear, and we took him down in the usual way. (Priest healed, Mage = AoE, the rest are DPS on Baron) It wasn't too bad at all. As long as your group each knows their roles it should be okay. There is also a SS trick you can use by killing Maleki and then running to the event and making sure that the priest, the lock and one other make it. It works best if you have a Pally and a Tank taunting with righteous fury and taunts and the others making it alive to the event. The priest is SS'ed, and resed the 2 others that made it and then the lock summons the Pally and Tank who died to the event from the enterance. Cuts about 5-10 minutes off your time.

Commento di Allakhazam

He wiped us once because i couldn't keep our tank alive.. lvl 57 warrior. Flash Heal spamming wasn't enough..

Next day I tried again (new grp) and we ONLY healed the tank. (druid and me, priest). Everyone was down to 30-40% when rivendare died. He nearly killed the Tank, he had like 500 life left. I wonder how this is possible in 5man groups. Probably better Equipment.

Commento di Allakhazam

Downed him with 4-man group this evening (druid DCed just after Ramstein). Had Priest, Hunter, 'Lock and Warrior (all 60).
We had 3 ppl with Holy Water to take out the adds in rotation. Not as difficult as I'd thought it would be - we even coped with one wave of skellies healing him for a few thousand. He even dropped the BS pants when the hunter was the only one that needed her tier 0 legs

Commento di Allakhazam

Got my Shadowcraft Boots in my first Undead Strat run at 57. So happy, although I'll mainly be using Devilsaur Leggings once I find them decently priced.

Commento di Allakhazam

Another run that took 2wic as long as it should have, 4 members of party leaving midway thru, 4 baron attempts and tension as wait for loot, his ^&*!e cloak and shadowcraft legs which went to a hunter. Will LF legs ever drop for me!

Commento di Allakhazam

Soloed this a few times now, generally without problems, but on one occasion I saw an abomination outside the Baron's room vanish. There were two left, one of each type. While I was killing one of them the other just disappeared. I was left stood around for a few minutes wondering if I should give up and reset when the mob appeared again in the middle of the square. Killed it fine and the event continued with Ramstein. Hasn't happened before or since, but it's something to watch for.

Commento di Allakhazam

LOL Watched this guy CLEAN HOUSE on an alliance raid of about 10-15 level 60s. Killed them all in about 5 minutes or less. That was awesome :)
Not for them, but I'm Horde, so for me it was. Glad Blizzard mades DeathKnights as awesome and deadly as they are portrayed and suppose to be.
He has deadly AoEs and summons a few skeleton minions, so when fighting him, watch for that.

Finally, this $%^&er dropped shadowcraft pants :) now all i need is to down the guy in 45 mins and ill be well on my way....

Commento di Allakhazam

I've killed this guy so many times now. Not once has Valor ever dropped. All I ever get is Wildheart, Shadowcraft, and Dreadmist. It's really getting frusturating.

Commento di Allakhazam

Well... after a few hours of attempts with my PvE owl, I swiched it up to my PvP cat, the shadow resists on it helped a lot, got him to 5%. Some reason I just couldn't get that again. After another 2 deaths I said screw it, and respec'd myself to BM with imp traps (was marks/traps) and my pet to pure shadow resists lol 1 shot his ass after that. Now that I figured a way to solo him I hope farming him for that mount wont be so bad. On a side note I downed that piccalo guy in the same instance, I was happy it droped :)

Sucuri
70 hunter, Twisting Nether (Alliance)

Commento di Allakhazam

Soloed this guy as feral druid 70 lvl

some important things for successful soloing as a feral druid:

- big part of Rivendare's damage is shadow damage, therefore some shadow resistance equipment required; I had three random greens with ShR ~70lvl + MotW = 140ShR, that was quite enough
shadow resistance potion won't help a lot cause it has shared cooldown with healing potions and mana potions, those could be more useful here

- you should rather use the help of npc named Aurius, who can be found at Elder's Square, inside Alonsus Chapel (the Elder's square is the first place you got to when you're entering Stratholme via side entrance)
here is the quest The Medallion of Faith you should kill Malor the Zealous in Scarlet part of Stratholme (it is easy to do stealthed, there almost no need to kill anyone on your way) and bring Medallion of Faith from his chest to Aurius - then he will appear during your fight against Rivendare and help you to kill him
he acts as a paladin, and his help is quite noticeable

- it is extremely important to take care of fast killing skeletons spawned by Rivendare because after 15 or 20 seconds Rivendare uses Death Pact to kill skeletons and restore some hp from that action.
swipe swipe swipe! use Idol of Brutality for better result

- you are the most vulnerable when you shift out of the bear form to heal yourself, so you should do it only when it is urgently needed and with maximum efficiency
BUT
you shouldn't wait until you are almost out of hp cause Baron hits hard
in my current gear I manage to kill Rivendare without single shapeshift for selfheal, but in cases when it is needed to selfheal I use my trinket first and then shapeshift
Badge of Tenacity will help a lot, and Moroes' Lucky Pocket Watch is perfect for that
also watch there is no Mortal Strike on you
btw, the moment when you are in humanoid form could be used for killing skeletons with Stratholme Holy Water if they appear
there are few boxes marked with red crosses outside of the Baron's zikkurate with that water, so check this out before the fight

- to be continued...

Pretty easy in 5 man group also. Did it yesterday, hoped for some bit of a challenge, but no :(

Wheres the challenge now?

Commento di Allakhazam

Made him with a group of mage,warlock,priest,pal,rouge just had 1 wipe, he is not that dificult with good equippement but with 10 ppl there is just no challenge (pretty annoying)

Commento di Allakhazam

We had a 10 man group priest druid 2 pala war warlock rogue 2 mages and a hunter and he wiped us twice

Commento di Allakhazam

He's easy.
I went along with guild once, we had finished the instance in less then an hour. Baron was killed quickly, my dreadmist dropped. Glory moment. We repeat this a few times for people from our guild, even with tag alongs from IF. I got an invite from someone to come along, and so we're off, the druid sucks at healing, a friend of mine, also druid, has to heal alot. When we're with the baron, she dies, the other druid who sucks at healing dies. I start tanking the baron. I die. The warrior cant hold aggro. After that, the pally dies. Etc etc. Main tank warrior dies last.

Luckily, me with my timing has put up a soulstone before we went to kill him. We try again, the same thing. This was insane. We stopped after that me and the other two from my guild, saying that he's easy, but not with group...

Then we sat in a random corner in IF and cried cause we didnt kill him this time.

Commento di Allakhazam

He dropped: Enchant Chest +4 for me few days ago

Commento di Allakhazam

I've only done Strat post-patch 1.10 due to constant server switches, so I've never 10manned him.

I've downed him only twice, mainly because the PUGs I get on my server are pretty stupid, and because I do live Strat more (and now that I have my gloves, there's no need to return). Both downs of this guy dropped Valor leggings.

I see a long, long hunt for my Devout skirt waiting for me.

Commento di Allakhazam

There is NO way you can solo this boss.... NO way I am in a guild that has downd bosses in NAXX and cleard AQ40 and we run this instace for Rep and to get alts gear, and with a group of 4 in epic gear, it is a fun fight, I have been on many many barron runs and some with folks in crap blues and greens and not been able to beat him.... so even if you are t-3 wich i am sure you are not you can not solo him unless you have a video to prove other wise....... SHUT up YOU DID NOT SOLO THIS BOSS!

Commento di Allakhazam

Killed him in 5 man group (guild run), not hard but not very easy. (no mediallion)

Group:

Warrior
Paladin
Mage
Hunter
Priest
All 60

Aslong as the mage takes care of the skeletons and you got a holy specced priest and the tank can hold his attention you should be fine. I died right before Baron went down tho (warrior). The weird thing is that the skeletons spawned more often then when in a raid group, or might just seems like it.

Commento di Allakhazam

just remember he can charge @ you, he also has a nasty cocktail of various attacks. Did it as a 10 (or 15 dont remember) and he was a easy meat target to kill.

Commento di Allakhazam

hehe did full baron run in 13 mins with this line up:

aoe ftw ;D

maybe should say that we all got tier 2+ gear

Commento di Allakhazam

Me (lvl 70 Pali) and 68 mage 2 manned strat and took down the baron, used 1 potion during the fight. Didn't drop the mount :( guess we'll keep trying.

FYI: 68 Frost Mage, 70 Prot/holy paladin

Commento di Allakhazam

I've recently started soloing this on my 70 hunter. I can do the timed event with 5 minutes to spare. Drop the exposive trap to kill the skellies, that and multishot.

With T5 my pet doesn't need a mend or anything. Easysauce.

I'm going to farm him for the mount.... it's going to take years ;-;

Commento di Allakhazam

God I want that so bad! It would perminetly put you as a God on your Server! A pally with Black armor should get this and be cool!

Commento di Allakhazam

In 5-man group u just need the backup tank who takes over when primary tank has less than 30% of health. Since hes undead palas are just as good as warrs for this task... besides consecration is as good as mages aoe for these skelie adds (holy wrath is unusable here since it takes too long to cast)

Out of all the bosses from the 5 man dungeons I think this one is hardest, but also the most enjoyable.

Commento di Allakhazam

We have run this run 2-4 times now and that gate after Magistrate Barthilas wont open what is wrong ?

Commento di hordesuck1

Tried doing this fight with the following:
-59 rogue (average leveling gear)
-60 rogue (had most bis for rogues)
-59 holy paladin (good gear)
-60 fury warrior (tank, great gear with shadow resist)
-60 warlock (good gear with a few raid pieces)

....and it was disastrous it took us 8 tries and the farthest we got was 20% hp. At one stage we attempted to get the baron's unholy aura (27y) and the pally's shadow resist (30y) at a perfect spot but that had little effect. The biggest issue we had was the adds running to the tank and then running all the way to the heals. The tank tried applying 5 stacks of sunder while the rogue popped all his CDs (40% total party damage) but it didn't help because the baron would just consume one or two of the remaining skeletons and get his health right back up. We tried leaving the 59 rogue with the healer and the warlock but he couldn't get the skeletons down fast enough. All and all, lesson learned next time we'll make sure to bring at least 2 ranged dps (or at least get some better geared players).
