The strategy is quite straightforward. Position Ebonroc so that your tanks are in a corner, to avoid erratic knockback. A good example of placement is at the angle between the staircase he patrols on and the wall. Have your tanks be very focused on shadow of ebonroc, use the CT_RaidAssist mod to see who gets it.

As soon a tank is affected by Shadow of Ebonroc, other tanks must immediately taunt Ebonroc off him. Keep Mortal Strike up on him all the time and the heals will be hard to notice. Like Firemaw, he does a wing buffet every now and then. Use an offtank to taunt him away from the MT so that he does not get the buffet (50% threat reduction). Note that Shadow of Ebonroc is a low level spell, and a little amount of shadow resist on your tanks (around 100) will reduce your chance of getting hit by it to 25%.

He does a shadowflame, but no other AoE attacks, everyone can remain in his LoS safely. The only danger is a caster pulling aggro right when he does shadowflame, which shouldn't happen if your tanks are taunting correctly. But wear your capes nonetheless. Have priests assigned to shield the main tank after each shadow flame, it is not necessary, but provdes you with extra safety.

DPS him quite fast as the tanks tend to get tired, its a very straining fight for them. Healers are not quite as stressed, since his only serious damage comes from shadowflame. If you pull aggro, vanish, feign death, or run to the corner. If your guilds has a shadow spec'd priest, you may consider allowing him or her to DPS for this fight.

Ebonroc is the fifth boss in Blackwing Lair, after Firemaw and before Flamegor. He is the 2nd drake and drops also the Tier 2 Epic Set gloves for all classes.

Like the other 2 drakes, Ebonroc casts wing buffet and shadowflame. His unique drake ability is Shadow of Ebonroc. Shadow of Ebonroc is a debuff cast on the main tank. While active, Ebonroc gains 25000 health everytime he strikes that target. It cannot be dispelled, and you must wait the full duration (8 seconds) for the debuff to fade.

A little thing i found out about his shadowflame is that if you dont have the cloak on then after the duration of the de-buff is ended it will instantly deal a secret 20k un-resistable damage, its not recorded in the combat log and my guess is Blizz put this in as a "safety measure" to make sure nobody could do it without the cloak... good luck doing it with a pug :(

Currently, with the nerf they did to taunt-like abilities, Ebonroc is currently impossible to defeat with less than 7-10 players. After the first 2 taunts, the boss is immune to taunt for 10 seconds, which will cause the next person who gets the debuff to heal him for 3-4 seconds. That is if the tanks are doing their jobs right exactly. So for a level 60 raid, you now have to bring 10 level 80s to out damage the boss's healing. Bring a rogue or warrior(Arms spec) for their reduced healing.

And even though Wowhead says 3.0.9, it's really 3.1.0.

If I have ~360 shadow resist, will the chance of resisting the Shadow of Ebonroc increase?

Ebonroc 3man.

Hint: U gotta use the Wing Buffet. ;)

Druid went bearform from time to time.
We had a rotation going like:

#1 Taunt, #2 Taunt, -WING BUFFET-, #3 Taunt, #4 Taunt, -WING BUFFET-.
U need that Wing Buffet because he becomes immune to taunt after 2 tauns.
Wich has a 10 sec cd.

Actually, it can be done easily with 4 dps and 1 healer. The dps can go in treath+ mode (such as RF, FP or DS) and taunt it off as soon as the other tank get the debuff. Also due to the nature of the group, it'll be down really soon, avoiding him to heal himself.

Soled as an 80 feral druid icc 10/25 gear/drums of kings /scrolls of fortitude, used avoidance trinkets , got to around 52% dodge with my idol on 5 stacks. otherwise my full tanking set was used. (standard tanking talents)

he will heal but i was pulling about 3k dps and slowly won the race against his healing, fight took 15-20 mins cant recall exaclty.

some tips, he does laughable damage, you wont have a problem, however still remember to use barkskin every cooldown, he only heals if he does DAMAGE to you, ie if his atack is absorbed by savage defence , he wont heal if the debuff is up.i used the whole area were he and flamegor are to tank him

remember wing buffet is actually your firend here, he often will use it while shroud is up, (which is about 50+% of the time i found) dont feral charge him when he buffest , use it as time that he is not atacking you to lose a few seconds of the debuff.
all in all its a bit of a balance between how much avoidance you can stack and how much dps you can do.

Kommentar von kabookiejoe

if you have a priest with you, and u toss your shield on the person with the debuff, it will cancel out the damage and prevent him from healing

Kommentar von Dyno12

As a mutilate rogue, Ebonroc and Razorgore are the only two fights in the instance that I can't solo. Ironically, I think I would have had a better chance at 80 with a much higher dodge chance.

It may be possible as subtlety, since you'd have two evasions, but I highly doubt you'd have the DPS needed to kill him before the second one ran out, especially since backstab isn't an option.

For anyone having trouble soloing this, you can skip him by aggroing, dieing on the other side of the room with a soulstone or self rez. Or you can run straight to Chromaggus and tank him untill you get all 5 debuffs and are mind controled, once the 5 min are up you can kill Chromag and move on.

Kommentar von 822763

It was a fun and challenging solo as a hunter. Although once I got my timing right I got him down quite easily. Used Distracting Shot every time my pet got the debuff and then FD when I got it.

Kommentar von Iroared

Had lots of trouble on him this week.. I don't having any problems last 2 weeks, just ran in circles hitting him (retri) and he was dead in no time. This week I spent 10 minutes on him, flasked and potted, using every cooldown I had and nearly died several times. Used bubble to demove the debuff a couple times, stayed around 30% to get sacred shield once a minute; the dragon hovered around 30%, once I had lucky dodges/crits he finally died.

Kommentar von Athenia

How I dual box through BWL with my warrior and priest. (ilvls ~353)

Razorgore the Untamed:

The key here is to not waste time with Razorgores "destroy eggs" ability, it has a seven second cooldown so use it as soon as it comes off cooldown. Have the warrior pick up the adds from the orb platform and the priest immediately MC Razorgore and destroy the first egg, then kill the adds and warrior moves to the middle of the room. So long as the warrior is around the middle area (the big square between the two platforms) the adds will ignore the player on the orb and attack the warrior in the middle.
Clear out the eggs on Razors platform first, you want to keep him in the middle of the room with the warrior so the adds can be picked up more easily.
This is multitask heavy: Kill egg, move razor to next egg while "destroy egg" is on cooldown, tab to warrior, pickup/kill adds, tab back to razor to kill next egg, rinse and repeat.

Tip: Make sure you have plenty of time remaining on the MC before killing the adds on the orb platform, if it breaks while he is there he may destroy the orb and wipe the encounter.

Vaelastrasz the Corrupt

Nothing special here, go dps and nuke the hell out of him - with two toons it should not be all that difficult. You simply have to kill him before Burning Adrenaline kills you.

Broodlord Lashlayer

Tank n spank, keep your back to the door so he doesn't knock you into the adds.

Firemaw

Tank n spank, but kill him quickly.

Ebonrok

This guy is tricky. Warrior as tank, priest as dps. Ebonrok will periodically put a debuff on the current target that heals him for 25,000 every time he hits that target - needless to say unless your dps is godly you will have to target swap each time this happens. Here's how to do it.
Have your tank stand with his back to the wall up where Ebonrok patrols, have the priest stand about 30 yards away from the tank - the priest will open up as dps until Ebonrok puts the debuff on the priest, the warrior then taunts but DOES NOT ATTACK Ebonrok - this is important. Ebonrok will go to the warrior and and begin attacking him - all you want to do is pull Ebonrok off the priest long enough for the debuff to drop off. If the priest resumes attacking as soon as Ebonrok is over at the warrior he should surpass the warriors threat and Ebonrok will return to the priest right about the time the debuff is put on the warrior.
In this way Ebonrok will not hit the target with the debuff to heal himself, or no more than a couple of swings.

Keep Power Word:Shield up on tank at all times, Ebonrok won't heal as no damage is done. If you don't have a priest, use the above method.

Flamegor

Tank n spank.

Chromaggus

Another somewhat tricky fight, firstly make sure both toons have ample amounts of Hourglass Sand to remove Brood Affliction: Bronze - if you have been killing the trash from Broodlord Lashlayer up to this point you will have plenty of it.
The key here is never let all five debuffs be up at once, as this will mind control your character - which will then kill your other character, and reset Chromaggus.
Keeping the priest out of LOS of Chromaggus does not appear to work anymore, they will still receive the debuffs. As soon as a debuff comes up that can be removed, remove it - except Brood Affliction: Red, multiple stacks of this makes it pretty much impossible to keep off and keep dps up on your warrior so concentrate on keeping Brood Afflictions: Blue, and Bronze off your toons and keep dpsing - red will eventually start to hurt a lot so kill Chromaggus as soon as possible but ALWAYS make sure to keep those debuffs off.

Nefarian

Tank n spank, use the alcove* to channel all the adds into one place for easy pickup.
Make sure your priest is close to your warrior so he doesn't get smashed by the adds later in the fight, they can still kill clothies fairly quickly - even at 85.

*The alcove. When facing the throne turn 90 degrees to the right and you'll see a sort of short tunnel with rubble in it.

Happy hunting!
Ath.

Easy to solo (hunter). Shadow of Ebonroc is EASILY resisted by a Level 85 tank pet-- it's a L60 ability. If the debuff does go up, 85s can easily zerg thru it.
Fun thing to try if you're up to it: Pull Ebonroc and Flamegor and down 'em both at the same time.

Kommentar von 772490

Shadow of Ebonroc heals Ebonroc for 25k health per hit. To make that clear, the debuff ensures that every single melee attack that lands on you (or your pets/minions), heals the boss. This makes it especially important to either tackle him on a strong kiting class - or have at least one other person with you who can taunt. At L85, it is not possible to 'zerg' through the debuff, unless you are accompanied by dps who can negate the 25k healing per hit. (This post assumes that you do not have the means to down him before he can cast the debuff.)

The easiest method to get him down efficiently, would be to have at least one person with you. Assuming that you are a tank capable class, with one tank capable dps. When one of you gets the debuff, the dps should taunt off of you, and vice versa. Between the two of you, it is an easy kill.

Method two: Solo'ing this on a hunter or warlock is possible. Use of a Tenacity pet, or Voidwalker is advised. If you get the debuff, Feign Death or Soul Shatter, in order to lose aggro. Either do not dps, or use low threat abilities, until your pet gets the debuff. Use Distract Shot, or Searing Pain (Spam Searing Pain as soon as he begins attacking your minion) to get aggro off of your pet before he heals too much. Rinse and Repeat. If you time everything correctly, you should down him with little difficulty. I would suggest that Beast Mastery/Demonology may have a better time with this method than other specs. A note to Warlocks: Keep your Voidwalker's Taunt on manual click in order to activate it. If your soul shatter is on CD by the time you get the debuff a second time, click the taunt while kiting Ebonroc. This should either let the debuff fall off, or your pet will get aggro more easily upon Wing Buffet.

Method three: Mages, Rogues, and key other classes that lack taunts and pets may be able to kite Ebonroc effectively enough for the debuff to wear off. This requires that you run him in a circle, until the stacks fall off. This is the most frustrating method, from personal experience, if you find you lack the dps to down him in between kiting. For this tactic, I would recommend bringing at least one dps with you, so that there is a source of constant damage on him even while kiting.

Just soloed this guy as MM hunter.. kinda tricky as he would just heal and i could not out dmg his healing. Finally after a bit of thinking I decided to try and switch his focus to me when my pet had the debuff.

So pretty much just tank and spank until your pet gets the debuff .. then distract shot him and train him for about 5 sec until your pet gets threat back. Its ideal to have him keep on you until he gives you the debuff.. then you can FD/Deterrence and have 7sec of dmg.

So pretty much just keep him off the guy with the debuff and you will get him down slowly.

Successfully soloed Ebonroc as a level 85 enhancement shaman. The trick for me was to take him to the bottom of the curved ramp leading up to his room. When he would put Shadow of Ebonroc on me, I would jump off the ramp. I would still be in range to attack him but he would run down the ramp and around to attack me. When he got to me I would jump back up the ramp, causing him to run back around. I would be in range to hit him the whole time while it would decrease the number of melees (and heals) he could get.

Picture of location here: i.imgur.com /4wVFH.jpg <---- apparently new users cannot post links so remove the space

It still took 10+ minutes to kill him (he will still get some heals off) but it was able to limit his healing enough to kill him. This method is probably only viable for shamans, druids, and paladins since I had to heal myself quite a few times during the fight.

Ok I got several nice ways to solo/dual him to get my Dragonbreath Hand Cannon. But I would like another explanation: how do I GET to him? I always get lost on blackrock spire... so can anyone give me a step-by-step on how to attune to the instance, how to reach it's entrance and how to make your way to the boss? Thanks!

Kommentar von 627078

Easily solable as as 85 feral druid with blue quest/pvp gear. I began the fight in cat form (22% dodge), but he would never drop below 90% health because of Shadow of Ebonroc. I switched to bear form (28% dodge), thinking that it would not make a difference and that I would have to come back with comeone else—but it definitely did. After reading comments about him I thought it would be more difficult, but in the end it was just another five-minute spank fest :)

Kommentar von Samaramon1

If you're trying to solo BWL for the pets and you're having trouble with this guy, you can just skip.
You can easily run past the two dragons and get to Chromaggus (who drops one of the pets).

I had no trouble with caster classes, but I did a bit on my warrior and just decided to skip.

Kommentar von Mydge

Fire Mage (90, ilvl 470)
Dps down, simple fight.

Fought him in the back corner to combat the wing buffet. Gives you debuff that heals him for 25k which wasnt an issue.

Kommentar von Paulichon

In order to solo him as a holy paladin, just make sure the shield from Illuminated healing is up on you. By doing this, his spell Shadow of Ebonroc won't heal him because the full amount of damage of his attack is absorbed.

This tip can be used by any class able to put an absorbing shield.

Kommentar von Dannardi

Killed him last night as a lvl 85 fury warrior.

It took a very long time due to the healing debuff, which healed him so often that it was a challenge to keep his health from regenerating while waiting on my cool downs.

It may have been easier had I taken him as a tank, the extra aviodance could have kept the debuff from hitting so often. Or maybe my dps just sucks, but whatever.

Will try as tank next time.

Kommentar von Morbius

Soloed this with my 85 DK in blood spec wearing Jade Forest greens and auction house blues. My equipped item level is 417. The Firemaw, Ebonroc and Flamegor fights are all the same, just tank and spank. Fight them in a corner to negate their knockback.
