Drops Smite's Reaver... wonder if this guy will improvise.

His thirst for blood caps at 20 stacks.

This guy can seem ridiculously difficult if you use the wrong strategy or have a healer that still spam heals like it's WOTLK.

Rule #1: Make sure your healer is only healing when necessary because when the boss reaches 25% he's gonna start tearing things up.

Strategy:
Save major dps cooldowns for 25%.

Drag him into the captain's cabin, facing him toward the back wall. Everyone else needs to stand near the doorway so as to avoid the bosses cleave.

Tank and spank to 75%. He will then vanish. During this period of time adds will spawn, and everyone needs to kill them while they still can. Once Ripsnarl comes back there will still be adds spawning and they won't stop spawning. At this point in time have one dps assigned to killing the adds before they explode and wipe the group. The other DPS need to do relatively decent damage on Ripsnarl so that he vanishes before reaching 20 stacks on his ridiculous speed buff.

Continue this until 25%. Once he returns the healer is really going to have to step up his game. Pop major dps cooldowns and finish him but make sure that the man assigned to adds continues to do his job.

Good luck.

Had a very fun time figuring this strategy out with two DoT classes with me...

Heroic Strategy

Tank him somewhere in the middle or with your back against the wall. It is very important that everyone who is not the tank (healer included, you're not special) is stacked behind him. This is so the tank is able to reach the vapors when they spawn. Bring him down to 75% and throw all DoTs on him before he vanishes.

Stay stacked at all times and just burn every vapor that comes in before they are allowed to double in health. Once he reappears, the tank pulls him out and you keep focusing on vapors that respawn. Turn you nameplates on so you can switch over immediately. The longer you take, the harder it gets and every second counts.

At 25%, keep killing adds until he reappears. Bloodlust then nuke him down.

Just tried this on my prot paladin in Heroic: Our strategy was to burn the adds before they became dangerous at all times, having the boss as the second priority. It was working, but at the second wipe I noticed the boss had a buff stacked to 20, looked it up, but then almost immediately afterwards, had to leave.

My advice would be to have maybe 1 or 2 DPS on the adds at all times while the other 1 or 2 burn the boss. 400% increased attack speed is insane and very hard to survive. You've got a fair few seconds during the mist to DPS down the adds; just make sure you stun large ones and have the tank and maybe healer contribute to the add DPS while Ripsnarl is vanished.

When he hits 25%, cleaning up all of the existing adds before focusing on Ripsnarl is advisable, as it's around 10% or so that the add spawns become completely unmanageable.

Commentaire de Chamenas

It seems he disappears again for a bit at 50%? You're still in the mist though, but it gives time to catchup on adds and let his buff fall off.

Another tactic for this boss is to kite ripsnarl around the house, ignoring the adds completely, just burn down the boss as fast as possible.

you can get out of los from the aoe, so keep an eye out for big adds and just run around the corner of the house.

Require abit of organization though, but be sure to try it with a guild run, goes way smoother and more fun (+ achiev) :)

This guy is easily the hardest boss in this dungeon.

We found that we were getting overwhelmed by adds with 2 dot-based DPS classes, one left in exchange for a bursty class, which helped but then when they all focused on adds, the boss didn't vanish quick enough and the 20-stacked buff tore the tank to shreds.

Took a few more goes but with 2 burst DPS on the adds, and the other DPS on the boss we eventually got it down.

Having lust for that last 10% is huge, we got him to 1% a couple of times and we're destroyed by the adds exploding.

Commentaire de 536062

Took him down with dps doing about 9k dps on average.

Obviously burn down the adds as soon as possible. Here is how the tank can help (I'm a warrior).

With dps doing that much the fight still lasts over 3 minutes which means you can use most of your defensive CD's at least twice, which will help the healer's mana.

I popped enraged regeneration almost immediately into the fight. Shield wall as soon as that went down.

When he disappears into the vapors, bandage yourself. You'll have a short window to use almost a whole bandage.

Devastate the vapors and hope that a victory rush procs off that.

Be sure to use potions as often as possible.

With this, you'll really help out your healer and have a better chance making it through this fight.

Commentaire de Lindentree

Vapors can be cc'd by at least some effects.

Stuns and fears were effective at interrupting Coalesce casts.

Commentaire de 656028

Best strategy in my opinion is on 25% pop hero and all dps cds and completely ignore the adds , just a hard focused burn on the boss.

Why?

On 25% he does not stop sumoning adds and they spawn alot faster so even if you have a dedicated dpser to kill the adds you are going to get wayyy overwhelmed by them , you can be sure of it so the best way indeed is to focus on the boss and ignore the adds , the tank should also spam aoe to keep the grown adds from attacking the healer.

Also if you are a warrior or paladin tank , once adds get big and start casting coalesce you can shockwave and stun them, or holywrath.Elemental shamans and balance druids can also use their knockbacks to send them away and interrupt their cast buying time for the group to finish off ripsnarl.

Also know that ripsnarl buff is apllied whenever he hits his target so if you use all your avoidance cds /trinkets you can make the stacks fall off if stars align and thus saving your healer a big chuck of mana and you from heart attacks , because he literally starts to rape you when he reaches 20stacks

As it stands, i dont see this fight being doable (with the natural exception to outstanding groups) in your standard "ready to do heroics" gear. This might be the only fight in the new heroics i believe should be nerfed. Could probably just remove the knockback on coalesce and it'd still be tough but doable

I would hypothesize that this boss is a reference to Pirates of the Caribbean. Aside from all of the pirate activity in a cave (already conspicuously similar), his name before his curse, as shown in one of Vanessa's nightmare sequences, is James Harrington. A very notable character in the film trilogy is James Norrington, who eventually achieved the rank of admiral himself!

Commentaire de 483462

Note that his corpse will sometimes bug out and prevent you from looting it. We could loot it, however, when we'd returned to the ship after going through the nightmare. No clue why.

Major tip for Assassination Rogues on this boss concerning the Vapors:

- Use Shiv to apply your Deadly Poison and a Combo Point
- Immediately apply your Rupture with that single Combo Point
- Auto Attack the add down (unless the DPS on them is really low)
- Profit from the Venomous Wounds Energy proc and have full (or close to) Energy bar

Hope this helps other Rogues out there, as this has ended up being extremely useful for me.

Commentaire de Thortok2000

Had a problem with him resetting today in normal difficulty. Most of the dps had heirlooms, so dps was about 4 times normal. The vapors died so fast that the encounter reset because there was nothing to be in combat with (during the parts where he vanishes). If you have this problem, simply don't kill the vapors when he's vanished.

Commentaire de OftiguS

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the reference to The Butcher from Diablo 1 ''Ah.. Fresh meat!''

Commentaire de 811385

dps boss using cleave,chain lightning, fire nova with flame shock on boss and switch to them right before they blow up with higher gear items and how bad they nerfed it now you should be able to kill them just cleaving boss

that being said if your dps tank or healer sucks safe to just dps them right away and fight a little longer
