Suggested as 3 man quest, will be very difficult even for 3. Suggest 4+ with a definate tank + healer.

Commento di 16848

Yeah its a tricky 3 man, he has a LOT of HP (probably close to 100k) and does a fair bit of damage. Got him to 38% before we died with a 70 priest and 69 druid, then we recruited a 67 rogue and took him down without too much trouble.

After you kill him, you can loot the Fragment off the body, but you still have to kill the drake, which is a lot easier.

He walks from the Sanctum of the Stars to Dragonmaw Fortress, although we didn't see him on the first sweep through the area, so its possible he doesn't spawn untill after you've gone past.

Ruul is a 71 elite with thunderfury. He was hitting me (68) with 1k crushing blows. Better come with a full group for this one.

It is possible 3 man, you won't even need a healer for it :)

There's a lvl 71 elite mob called Mordenai that also gives the quest "Kindness."

Well, that elite roams around the area killed the mos there, if you can get a member of the group to pull Ruul to the Mordenai, Mordenai will attack him and will be an excellent tank :)

And even if you die during the fight/pull (like I did), the spirit healer is close by, so you can res and continue fighting xD

Note: Try waiting for the chance when both npcs are very close...or Ruul will kill you while you pull/kite

EDIT: Mordenai link https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=22113

I did this with a druid tank, priest, and myself a mage.

Is not hard with 3 as long as u have a priest. Forget about doing it with another healer.

Also make sure to let tank get good aggro or you go down in a few shots.

Mordenai no longer attacks Gruul. :(

Commento di smashfanDS

Yeah...noticed after helping another group :S

Commento di 22308

Done it with two: lvl 70 feral druid and lvl 70 healing priest (me).
As long as you bring one mana pot, you can keep the druid alive long enough.

Long fight though, but still fun to do with only 2 people ^.^

Commento di BlackhandRogue

Just finished this with a 5man. 2 Rogues / Druid / Warrior / Mage. I'm not sure if we need all this but definitely helped. One recommendation a good priest. Fight is somewhat like Rend only vice versa, you kill him then the dragon.

Commento di Sta7ic

I just did this with 2 Rogues, a Shaman, and a Warlock, we had Mordenai tank and it worked. I kited it (rogue) over to Mordenai and he started tanking Ruul for us, worked like a charm. I'm on Ner'zhul.

Commento di alcy

Did it with another Frost Mage, we used ice lances to pull him to Mordenai, ice blocked and went invis to clear aggro and then just pounded him down. Mordenai didn't even die so you definately won't need any healers here if you just manage your aggro and pull successfully.

Commento di 39591

He seems to spawn just northeast of Sanctum of the Stars, where he walks to Dragonmaw Fortress and despawns

Commento di 41188

Full group isn't necesary.
Using Mordenai is a good idea, we managed to take Ruul with me (warlock) a mage and a rogue. I did die before Mordenai took aggro but luckilly I was soulstoned.
That said, a healer and tank would obviously be recomended. Easier. :)

Commento di dgrier

I can confirm that Mordenai attacks Ruul. Not only that, but after dying, he repopped and attacked him again. Lock died as we finished Ruul, and a random 70 mage showed up and helped DPS. The drake is VERY easy kill after Ruul is down, but is tough. Do not under estimate!

Commento di 49862

pulling ruul to mordenai no longer works.

Commento di 18829

He spawns in the air on his mount and touches down at 59,56 then patrols in a straight line directly to Dragonmaw Fortress then despawns.

Commento di 27210

From the 2.1.0 patch notes:

"Ruul the Darkener has had his hit points and abilities slightly adjusted to make him not as punishing."

Commento di 58393

nice tank gear btw

Commento di Gann1

Ruul's been nerfed pretty hard. Only hits for about 750 on mail now. I (resto shaman) soloed him down to 50%, but ran out of mana and couldn't finish the job. So I brought an arms warrior, and we killed Ruul easily. 2-mannable with a healer.

Commento di 76789

I just tried kiting this guy to the Sanctum of the Stars, hoping my fellow Scryers would jump in and save me. No. They just stood around as he mashed me into a paste. At least the graveyard is close.

Commento di 37792

Did it with a priest, mage(me) and 3 warriors, way over kill. Could've done it with a tank, dps, and healer. Found him around 59,56. Standard tank and spank fight.

Commento di 45422

Easily 2 mannable with a prot war and any dps class.

Me (prot war) blocked his whole attacks pretty much.. (sometimes 5-10 dmg would go through), just kept spamming shield block and revenge, rogue dps'd him down.. ended up with like 75% hp left, didn't need to use a potion.

Keep Tclap and Demo shout up, and it's very easy.

Commento di Infernus

Easily two-man'd w/ me (Shadow Priest, 8k/8.7k) and my GM (Holy Paladin, 12k/10k)

Definately can be done w/o 4 people as long as you know what to do.

We killed him at 62, 57

Infernus, Dawn of Damnation, Quel'dorei

Commento di 54656

Just did this with a Hunter, Rogue and myself (Druid) I was tanking and thought that we'd not do it... boy was I wrong!!! The Rogue hit him full on DPS and the Hunter had his pet helping with the tanking... when I was low health the hunter had his pet growl for all he was worth and I stopped all aggro attacks he went for the cat and allowed me to heal up and then we took him down. The Best Hunter Tactics I have seen in ages!!! Hats off to the Guy I was totally impressed. In short you can 3 man this with a little planning :) Have Fun.

Commento di pepperspray1991

Killed Ruul the Darkener with two hunters (being one myself) and a warlock, we let our pets tanked and took him down pretty quickly. Reccommended for Bm/Demo specs

Commento di 67552

Prot Warr, Afflic lock two man. Ruul > his netherdrake by a million miles, so basically the fight is only ruul himself. i had to bandage warr once but it was cut short cuz he got hit immediately. Warr didnt pop a pot, just used last stand

Commento di 59459

I guess as of 2.3 Mordenai no longer attacks Ruul, so you gotta tank him yourself :(

edit:

tanked him a bit later with a resto druid healing and a rogue dpssing. I didn't even drop 500 hp the whole time....I was a feral druid with approximately 15k armour and 10k hp.

Commento di Aerospace

Hunters can solo this quest, on one major condition:
They must have finished Mordenai's entire questline (starting with "Kindness"), purchased their epic flying skill, and unlocked the Netherwing Ledge dailies, so that when the player enters Dragonmaw Fortress, they gain the Dragonmaw Illusion buff.
This allows the player to kite around the area without getting attacked by the mobs.

I've put up a video on Youtube describing the kiting process for anyone wanting to try:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdK2IVNcfg0
(apologies for the questionable video quality :/ )

Commento di 75756

we did it in 3 man... druid 70 rouge 70 and hunter69
druid healed my pet and the rouge and we took it down in 30 sec
Mordenai didnt help us i tried to pull ruul to him but he doesnt help

Commento di 34987

If you have no tank, but have a warlock, you can enslave a Cataclysm Overseer to tank for you.

It may even be possible to solo Ruul this way as a warlock, but the biggest issue is threat. The overseer generates little threat (~250 tps), so it is difficult to dps and health funnel without pulling aggro. However, with sufficient aggro reduction (e.g., soulshatter, threat-reduction items) it might be possible.

After Ruul is slain, his Netherdrake is fearable, so you can opt to either re-enslave or banish your demon.

Commento di 44913

Soloed as a prot paladin in good blues. Only epics I had were the S1 shield and the shield block libram from heroic badges.

Strat:
Use BoSanc and Devotion Aura
Judge wisdom, Seal Rightousness
Keep Holy Shield up at all times and only judge SoR or use Concecration when you don't have the Spellbreaker debuff on you.

I had to bubble once and use LoH when I was low on HP and mana.
If you are getting low on mana & HP, then use all your remaining mana on damage then use LoH to get 900 mana back.

Killed him, looted and ran away from the dragon.

Commento di 116850

2 mannable w/ sick dps + sick heals =-O

Commento di luminum

solo'd as a prot paladin aswell... im fully epic'd using a raid spec (no reckoning). didnt need loh or bubble, but i did drink a superior mana pot. spent ages at 2.5k hp bouncing up and down hp and mana lol. figurine of the colossus helps a lot too.

Commento di 131018

2 maned it with a bm hunter(me)
and a 67 holy palla , just let the pet tank

Commento di 118286

he is easy to take down with just a tank and healer, though he will take a while to die

Commento di 100358

Solo did this with a T5 geared resto shaman. Not hard, just conserve mana, use your totems, and grind him down slowly.

Commento di Koros

Soloed Ruul as a Demonology Warlock using a Felguard (Spec 6/44/11) on 29/05/2008. I also have the 2 piece tier 5 bonus (heal pet for 15% of the damage I do).

I used Curse of Weakness, Immolate, Corruption, and lots of Health Funnel to keep my pet topped off. Wise use of death coil, health pot, health stone, and soul shatter to drop aggro during the fight is also helpful.

Hope this helps.

Commento di matty

I completed this quest solo as a lvl70 prot warrior in mostly T4 (4 out of 5). If you would like to see where you would stand in your gear before attempting this by yourself, my stats are 14,400HP; 16741 armor; 22.28% dodge; 16.88% parry; 27.53% block.

I kept demoralizing shout, thunderclap and shield block. He was dead when I was 50% HP. His netherdrake was dead at 30% HP.

Commento di 147633

Solo'd with 100% avoidance+block. Blocking for 612. Didn't take a single point of damage.

Commento di Allakhazam

Can you kite him somewhere for help? Wildhammer, or Altar of Sha'Tar?

Commento di Allakhazam

Last night we did this one with three - 70 war, 69 mage, 70 druid. Warrior was a good tank so I was able to open up and overnuke Ruul to the max. The druid just healed, so it was close. Eventually the druid went oom, tank died then druid, then Ruul came at me (mage) with 2% health and I finished him. Being oom myself and evoc on cooldown, the dragon squished me. We all rez and go back to loot Ruul ... done. After the wipe, the dragon despawned. Maybe not the most elegant way to do this, but it worked and none of us had high-end raid gear. To do this with no deaths, a 5 man is probably the way to go.

Commento di Allakhazam

Did this with 2 Mages, a Lock, and a Shammy-tank. No problem.

Commento di Allakhazam

This quest is not soloable, period. He's immune to all cc including slowing effects. He'll just stomp you.

Commento di Allakhazam

And for anyone who's curious, kiting him into the Scryer camp doesn't work - he didn't use any AoE's & they didn't automatically attack him =)

He also runs at mounted speed so it's slightly awkward anyway, even with the short distance involved. A longer kite would be utterly impractical.

Commento di Allakhazam

70 prot pally... solo'ed

seal and judge of light

Commento di Allakhazam

is he soloable for a 70 warrior with recklessness or retaliation? rofl

Commento di Allakhazam

Did this with 70 hunter, 68 holy priest and 70 paladin, me 69 Feral druid.
Fight has two phases. First you need to kill Ruul witch dualwields something that looks like Thunderfury. He does deacent damage and has a lot of hp. Since we lacked damage because of two healing me, and only hunter and me did dps it took us time to get him down.
Didnt notice any special attacks or something from him. Straight forward realy.
When the bloodelf dies you have to deal with the dragon pet.
Its weak compared to Ruul. Died pretty quick.

Commento di Allakhazam

T5 geared prot paly, easy solo. Seal of wisdon and Seal of Light are your friends.

Commento di Allakhazam

he walks form his spawn point to the keep and then despawns watch you ahve to kill him and his pet =)

Commento di Allakhazam

66, 61

Commento di Allakhazam

70 priest and warrior, easy if the priest is worth a crap.

The Cipher of Damnation - Borak's Charge

Borak, Son of Oronok at the bridge near Eclipse Point in Shadowmoon Valley wants you to recover the Third Part of the Cipher of Damnation from Ruul the Darkener.

This mission will require a group.

	Third Fragment of the Cipher of Damnation (1)
	Giocatori suggeriti: 4 (1)

Descrizione

That Cipher fragment will never reach Zuluhed. You're going to ambush Ruul the Darkener and his transport before it has a chance to make the delivery.

The Dragonmaw Fortress is directly east of here, across the Netherwing Fields. Somewhere between Dragonmaw Fortress and the Sanctum of the Stars is where you'll find Ruul. Strike hard and strike fast! And <name>, from the sound of it, this Ruul is going to be tough. Keep your guard up.

Return the Cipher to me should you succeed.
