He drops the third part of the Cipher of Damnation.

Commento di 10789

This guy's dual-wielding Thunderfuries.

Commento di 9240

Immune to frost effects, and I assume fear as well. Runs fast. Kiting may be possible, but will be difficult and long.

Commento di 129

He flies into the fields at 58, 55 and walks to the Dragonmaw Fortress from there.

Commento di 15032

He's immune to ALL snare, stuns, frost effects

Commento di Hack

No one has mentioned yet but once you have killed Ruul you also have to kill his netherdrake mount. While no where as tough as Ruul he still takes another 30secs or so to go down so be ready for it.

My mods reckon Ruul has about 130,000HP too, not 110,000 as stated in the quick facts.

Commento di 7817

I suppose it's possible to 3-man this with a perfect 3 man, i.e. warrior, mage & priest. We tried to 4 man it with a pally, priest, and two hunters (A BM hunter, and my 22-25-13 mongrel spec). Did not happen.

We finally dragged him to the NPC that starts the netherwing quests. He tanked for a while (you can't heal him, but he's got a ton of HP) while we all burned Ruul down. It was ugly but effective.

Commento di abiobob

It is not possible to kill him without a good healer and tank. This really should be a 5 man quest. Doing this with 3 people is nearly impossible.

There's a reason he's dual wielding Thunderfury's.

Commento di warrior

Soloable! ^_^
Did it as an arms/fury warrior with scryer's faction, not sure if the below method possible with Aldor due to the GY being too far.

You will need:
2-3 pots
shield wall (possibly)
heavy netherweave bandages
tanking gear
whatever health buffs you can get

Mount up, ride up to Ruul, as soon as you aggro him run to Mordenai, stand close to Mordenai so Ruul's cleave hits him. Mordenai will start tanking for you. Run off, bandage. In order for Ruul not to reset once he finishes Mordenai, do some damage to him 1-2K would probably do it. Now run off, 1 minute should be up on the bandage, bandage as necessary.
Once he finishes Mordenai, run back to the Scryer place, Mordenai spawns nearby (will get exact coords when I come back on). Same plan, stand on top of Mordenai, pot as necessary until he has the aggro. Again, run off, bandage, etc.
Chances are you are going to die at least once during this process, but Mordenai lives long enough for you to res quick (Scryer GY), eat up and go do some more damage to Ruul (as he dropped all the previous aggro, because you died, and will reset if not tagged). I popped a shield wall when Ruul was dying so I wouldn't die and not get the credit, but that's not necessary. Repeat same with the drake that comes out, make sure not to overnuke Ruul with executes because you want to keep aggro on Mordenai at all times.

*Note: the above method worked perfect for me, until, sadly, 3 members of the opposing faction came over and stole my kill (I died and when I ressed to tag Ruul again, he was already tagged by them and nearly dead... so I made their job that much easier. /sigh )

Commento di InfinityX

Apologies for the irrelevant comment, but I believe this NPC deserves to be voted most badass NPC 2007. Since it's hard to see him without superinspect, here's a link to a clean shot of him without his mount.

Commento di 15974

Just 4 manned 2 wars 1 hunter 1 mage. Who needs a healer when you can bounce aggro and bandage? :)

Commento di Catharsys

3 manned Warrior, Paladin, & Rogue. Not hard, just long.

Commento di Nerissa

Annoying mob since his patrol is one way, if you're on the ground you're not likely to see him return to the field.

Commento di Terodar

i think that this has been fixed as of 2.1..i had him hitting me in bearform and go through all my 12k + a full frenzied regen with Mordenai right beside me, easily within cleave range... and mord never did a thing.. :(

Commento di Tigraine

Completely soloable as a lvl 70 prot Warrior.

Took about 12 minutes, but due to his hits being only at about 400-500 blocks absorb the whole hit.

Commento di 45682

Imo he is very easy. 3 manned without healer and
2-manned with healer. Prot warrior can solo him as well duo of his low dmg + the high warrior's avoidance.

Edit: As Tigraine said, he can take long. But 12 minutes sounds a bit tragic to me :)

Commento di 58652

Duo with a BM hunter (41/20) and a Holy Pally.

Hunter needs to misdirect to the pet, keep up scorpid sting, and remember to FD before your pet loose aggro. it is highly recommended you use a Boar before their charge ability generate high threat. also keep up aspect of the viper and have some mana pots ready. i used a steady/auto shot rotation with the occassional arcane. you can probably leave out the arcane shot to save some mana.

pally had about 1/3 mana left when we were done.

Commento di 7132

Solo'd as a warlock. I enslaved Makazradon and ran him over to tank Ruul. From that point it's a DPS race.

Commento di 39818

soloed as protowar with 366 block value and mark of conquest.
i was just spamming shield block, imp TC and demo shout... Made him down with drake when i was on 70% health
Dual weild mob, that's all the secret

Commento di 46634

2-manned as a Feral Druid and a Holy/Disc priest. Very Easy.

Commento di vBrad

Soloing as we speak as a Protection Paladin, keeping up Holy Shield Rank 1, Judgement of Light and Seal of Wisdom and Blessing of Sanctuary. Rarely hits me but appears to melee with main hand for around 400~, cleaves for 500~ or so.

Cleasing Darkfury whenever it's up.

Commento di robinhood36

Just duoed as a Prot warrior and I a Holy Paladin

He spammed TC Sunder Shield Block and Demo shout

I just used Rank 1 Flash of Light took us a while but most def soloable if not duoable

Commento di sodamonster

3-manned as Druid(tank), Rogue, Pally(heals)

I had just over 10k hp as tank, rogue was wearing full epics, and pally only had mediocre heal gear.

Wasn't overly difficult, but I attribute much of the success to the leet rogue :P.

Even if this can be duoed or even soloed :O, 3-manning was somewhat of a challenge, so bring your skills and wit for this quest.

Commento di 110683

duoed with Resto druid and balance druid

popped a few pots but easy.

Commento di Shadowlyger

Managed to drop him with me (Prot warrior), 67 rogue and a healer (Forget class). Took a bit, but down he went... mount pop surprised me, but compared to Ruul himself the mount is EZmode.

Slightly off-topic, but can anyone tell me his line when he aggros you?

Commento di 104235

Easy to do as a prot warrior as stated above. Spam shield block and maybe thunderclap, nothing else but revenge was needed. Got me to about 60% after his mount.

Commento di 98852

Very easy to do solo (although time consuming) as a decently geared Protection Warrior. My Heroism card kept me healed pretty good. (Yes I still use Darkmoon Card: Heroism at 70. It's a remarkably good trinket for a Prot Warrior to quest with, since we hardly take any damage and it goes off fairly often.

I used a super health potion, but only because I got paranoid and wanted to keep my life topped up to near full. I really didn't have to throughout the fight. I was at 55% health at the end of him and his mount. Without the potion it would've been maybe 40-45% at the end.

Commento di 53109

I managed to take out Ruul as what I assumed would be a 'good attempt, with a wipe'.
I'm an affliction warlock (43/1/17).Talent build is below.
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/talent=IqMriRfzqtbooZxx0pM

I have, for the most part, only Karazhan epics, Voidheart gloves, and the icon of the silver crescent.Some blues too.

It started when me and a holy priest got to the quest for the third cipher fragment.It was late, so not many at all were in SMV.
I asked for help, and got a restoration shaman, no tank, no 2nd DPS.
I went to the black temple and enslaved an Illidari Ravager, thinking it'd be enough.

Me and the two healers went to Ruul and attacked him, with the Ravager tanking, as expected.
They were keeping up the Ravager fine, but I overaggro'd.I used soul shatter and later got aggro again when Ruul was at about 60% or so.
I decided I'd keep attacking.I managed to hold aggro throughout the fight (Refreshing DoTs when possible, using curse of weakness, and shadowburning when the CD was up), and the holy priest and resto shaman were enough to keep me up (Though to be safe I used my healthstone and a healing potion throughout my tanking). I was later told the shaman wasn't even healing all the time.

So I was quite surprised, a warlock tanking Ruul :P
Killed him, killed his netherdrake, looted the fragment with no problem.

Commento di 30280

Wife and I killed him last night. Wife wasnt too enthusiastic since it took 5 of us on our other chars. We are decently geared Balance Druid and Holy Priest (3/4 kara, crafted, and PvP purples).

I tanked with my boomkin and she healed. Was very tough since he kept me from casting even my wrath in less then 5 seconds. Starfire was useless. I was using mostly moonfire and swarm. I lost aggro once and was able to get it back within 10 seconds or so. He hits so fast and so often that he was pure melee interupt.

Once he went down, we remembered the dragon part, lol, but with the interupt mostly gone, he went down fast.

Take at least 3 and avoid repair costs.

Commento di 20843

Soloed with 70 prot paladin (kara/badge geared - 301 block value)

Surprisingly easy. Did take a while but was able to keep myself and mana up by using only Judgement of Wisdom, Seal of Light and Holy Shield.

Commento di 16488

This guy is probably soloable by a lock with the right gear :p Got him to 55% with some kara/s1 gear as sl/sl.

Commento di kahdgarxi

I just dualboxed this guy with little difficulty on my combat sword rogue in terrible blues & greens with my resto druid with 1150 or so +healing. Just tanked & spanked no kiting or anything. I had to use my Innervate, and a Nature's Swiftness, but quite easy really.

Commento di Swordy

doable with an arms warrior and resto druid in kara/s1 gear.

Commento di 75527

doable with demo/affl lock and holy pala with some talents on prot
summon VW BoK it BoS lock so he won't get aggro dot and kill when
lock will get aggro soulshatter if you get again to high on aggro just hold on for a sec and put
weakness on ruul very easy if the healler has good mp5

Commento di 118172

just 2 manned him on my two hunter chars :P one horde one alliance, what I did was I started off MDing both pets and nuking like hell until one got aggro and popped deterrence, then I nuked on the other char to get aggro and did deterrence when he pulled aggro aswell. worked like a charm ;)

Commento di knuspar

2 manned with a holy priest and a fury warrior in no time ... whats the hassel ?

Commento di zinzera

2 manned with 70 ROGUE and holy paladin for fun when we were doing the chain for karynaku, and I had pvp poisons on (wound and crip) on accident, whoops. his mount goes down like a regular mob. just keep him disarmed since he's not immune to riposte and he doesn't really hurt

Commento di 139861

Soloed him as a 43/18 Holy Paladin in S1 PvP gear. Put up JoW, rank 1 consecrate and JoR whenever I didn't have the Spellbreaker (-75% magic damage) debuff. FoL healed myself in-between with using DF+HL when I got low. Bubbled once (though I didn't really need to) and didn't need LoH, though I burned through 7 super mana potions and the fight took over 15 mins.

The fight would probably have been easier if I used PvE gear, but I opted for PvP gear due to high armor and resilience.

Commento di Subache

2 manned with Ele shaman, and shadow priest...i just dotted him up and jumped into heal his earth elemental who tanked. its really simple

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 152085

i WAS able to kite him down to the blood elf town, and died there cuz the guards ignored him X(

Commento di Marzilla

Duod this fellow easily with an enhancement shaman/fury warrior team, warrior had blues with a couple of heroic epics on, same for the shaman

I had to run out on my shaman to drop aggro halfway through, but it wasn't bad, just tossed out a couple of heals and didn't pot

Commento di MetalGenocide

Just duo'ed him with me as a prot paladin and a holy paladin, we both have kara epics and badge loot (she's equal to hyjal / BT geared. I'm not even into T5 gear :P)
he was @#$% easy though, she only had to heal me twice if that. I took less then 4k damage in the end, could have probably solo'ed it heh. just keep Holy shield and Retri aura up and he goes down without much hassle.

Commento di 171439

Soloed as a resto shaman. T5 geared.

Both elemental totems, 2 mana pots, heroism, and mana tide. About a 7-minute fight. Use tide early instead of potting and it will most likely be up again before the fight ends.

Earth ele first, after the two minutes is up drop the fire ele. At this point Ruul will be on you for the rest of the fight, so just out-heal his dps and throw in some shocks/LBs/CLs when you can while meleeing with flametongue (lol). The fire ele will take some kind of damage, I think it's a melee AOE or cleave, but if you can, heal him up. I didn't watch his health and he died early for me -_-. Also searing totem during earth ele, stoneskin during fire. Mana stream up the whole time, as well as WoA.

Didn't need WS until about 25%, after that it was just a game of making my mana last until my pot CD was up without dying. For better geared resto's it might be a little easier. After Ruul dies it's game over, the dragon is cake.

Good luck!

Commento di Thottbot

This guy hits like a MAC TRUCK make sure you get a tank and a healer or you will need more than 3 people in the group even though the quest says 3.

Commento di Thottbot

This guy does hit really hard. Lvl 70 feral druid with 22000 armor and 13000 health and lvl 70 priest with 10000 mana tried taking him on. Might not have been able to if a nice lvl 68 pally hadn't showed up to help out. The priest needed to use Shadowfiend, a super mana pot, and the druid's innervate to last the fight.

After you kill Ruul, you have to fight his lvl 70 elite dragon, but it goes down a lot quicker than Ruul and doesn't hit as hard. Might want to have Shadow Protection buff for this fight because he has a debuff that reduces shadow resistance by 25 and it stacks up to 5 times, and he occasionally throws out shadowbolts.

Commento di Thottbot

I'll now share a trick, which is how I killed this fellow with a warlock and a hunter

Basically, this guy

https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=1054167

Mordenai, travels around, killing flayers. He is a quest guy, that gives a quest for the Netherdrakes, however, he is useful for something else aswell..

When Ruul lands, you got to pull him to Mordenai, then stand still right next to Mordenai, and wait for Ruul to do a cleave. Mordenai will start attacking Ruul when Ruul does a cleave!

Now, Mordenai is certainly tough, but Mordenai cannot take down Ruul alone. You'll need to help him by doing DPS yourself. You might need a friend with high dps for this, perhaps a Warlock or so.

Anywho, the chance of Mordenai dying is quite big, however, Mordenai's respawn is 0 seconds, so once he dies, he will pop up again. If Mordenai dies, you'll need to pull Ruul to Mordenai at his spawn location and make Ruul cleave to make Mordenai attack him again.

I think it took me three tries before I got Ruul down, but I did get him down in the end.

Goodluck!

Commento di Thottbot

This guy wanders over Netherwing Fields to Dragonmaw Fortress. If you wait for him there he will appear about every 4 minutes.
One note if you want to kill him: Bear in mind if he dies you have to fight his dragon afterwards, another 70 elite.

Commento di Thottbot

If you just hang around where ruul spawns he is fairly easily tanked to Sanctum of the stars so if you're scryers you can just let the guards own him. Got it my 4th try as a druid.

Commento di Thottbot

I kited him three times to Sanctum of the Stars and the lazy-ass blood elves just sat there and watched me die (supposedly I'm friendly with them).

Does Ruul have to get in a cleave for the scryer guards to attack, same as with Mordenai?

Commento di Thottbot

I tried the kite and cleave trick with Mordenai and it doesn't work as of 5/28/07. i might just be doing something wrong but i doubt it.

Commento di Thottbot

MORDENAI WILL NO LONGER HELP. THEY FIXED IT

Commento di Thottbot

We just did him with 2 rogues a hunter and a lock.

Voidwalker tanked for 10 seconds then died. I tanked him to 30% using evasion.

During the fight he only hit me twice and his attacks were weak.

We got him down in less then a minute.

Easy kill :)

Commento di Thottbot

and where does Ruul spawn?

Commento di Thottbot

What quest is this guy for?

Commento di Thottbot

just wait at 65.59 he'll spawn and walk on the road.
killed it 2 men. tank druid and pally. tough one but doable. suggest a tank a healer and a dps.

Commento di Thottbot

ok, to all those who soloed this guy, well done. we mere mortals had to do this with five, and it was I admit easier but still a good hard fight. If you want to do this make sure you bring a good tank and healer. Hunters keep an eye on your pets cos this guy kills em quick. Dont forget to lay traps explosive and freezing both work well, though he moves like hes on something.

Commento di Thottbot

I see this guy walking with his netherdrake but I dont battle with him but I only want know what class skills he uses?

Commento di Thottbot

I tanked with my pally while a shadow priest dps'd, I didn't need any more healing than what I got from vamperic embrace. Very easily 2 man'd without exploiting. The priest was saying they must have nerfed him, that he used to hit a lot harder, maybe they did, but I like to think it's because I'm a uber tank :P

Commento di Thottbot

i saw a freaking resto shammy solo this guy(over powered! no good drops which is bull

Commento di Thottbot

whats the spawn rate on him?

Commento di Thottbot

Ok, IF you're a Tank with full T4 or equiv, and you have an handful of super health pots on you it is possible to solo him.

I just did it, or nearly. I wasted time and health kiting him to sanctum of the stars, which is useless for Killing Ruul, they will NOT help. I had him at 10% when an undead war jumped in to lend a hand. it is a LOONG fight this way. When he finally the dies the sanctum guards will finally join in to help kill his mount.

Lots of avoidance is key.

Myrh of Stormrage

Commento di Thottbot

This was fairly easily duo-d by me (70 rogue) and a 70 holy pally. I tanked/dpsed and the pally kept me alive and tossed in a little damage when he had the extra mana. Not a bad fight if decently geared.

Commento di Thottbot

I solo him easy as a protection specced warrior dont even need a health pot or last stand :} (including his mount)

Edit The only problem is Rage generation during the battle so a few rage pots are useful here. This is the classic examplke of why blizz needs to fix rage generation.

Just did the dragon with a group in SMV and had rage issues here too

Commento di Thottbot

i sat there and watched a 70 BE pally solo the thing... wth.

Commento di Thottbot

easy to solo as prot pala with 2 crafted epics and crap blues and a green.

doing him while typing that how much dmg he does

Commento di Thottbot

this guy was tottaly nerfed through the floor. he used to hit like a tank falling down a cliff. oh well, why didnt i wait till they nerfed him to do the q? :). btw did you see his weps? duel wielding TF's ftw.

Commento di Thottbot

i did this wit (me) 70 rogue, 70 prot war, another 70 rogue, and a frost mage, the war had to heal half way into the battle tho

Commento di Allakhazam

Start quest is from Earthmender Torlok
Enraged Spirits of... something. (Fire/Earth afaik: quest)

Commento di Allakhazam

he is for the quest The Cipher of Damnation - Borak's Charge (very long chain)

Commento di Allakhazam

cleaves, and hits for around 1k. tank, healer, and dps, and he'll be yours. An exceptional tank and healer would probably work too.

Commento di Allakhazam

70 rogue and 70 prot warrior solod this, i used one healing pot shiled wall and last stand but tbh i didnt really need the pot or last stand.

Commento di Allakhazam

Cant find any quest on him.. and havent killed him yet, so anyone that has? :)

Commento di Allakhazam

Found a slight bug that makes him alot easier. Whoever has hate, simply walk backwards in a straight line. He is unable to hit you, and will go down easy. However, this does not work on his dragon that spawns once he is dead.

Commento di Allakhazam

watched my prot pally friend solo this straight up no outside help or buffs.

Commento di Allakhazam

nice to be one of the 17% that doesnt get the fragment

Commento di Allakhazam

We kill him today. He wield dual thunderfurry looking swords but isn't all that. We 3 manned him today. I thought he was part of the netherwing faction chain but appearantly not. /shrug

Commento di Allakhazam

duel thunderfury
red wrath
nough said

Commento di Allakhazam

I solo'd him with my 70 Ret Pally, no joke

Commento di Robldux

Blood Knight Maul dropped today. I was farming motes and I killed him and got this. Nowhere it shows that it drops. And it has a weird name too, it's called Blood Knight Maul of the Quickblade.
