Comentário de Kemaria

He is located at 39, 62 at the top of a hill in The Thunderwood. He is stealthed by a clump of bamboo, so he can be easy to miss at first.

Comentário de 533861

Just defeated him as an 86 paladin, fairly easy fight if you simply avoid the AOE. I charged in the first time thinking it'd be a simple fight, and promptly died due to his frontal AOE attack. Every time I saw him start to cast a spell, I just ran away and it was cake.

Comentário de Mileron

Has 1.2 million HP (1264K).

My mage in 370-ish gear got splattered quickly not knowing about the AE.

Comentário de dkfenger

Asked some guildies to help after my Feral Druid got smeared by the AoE. A 5-man party of 85s is massive overkill.

Dropped Leggings of Forgotten War, and a bag with 20 Ghost Iron Ore and 1 Pristine Hide.

Comentário de Pommy001

Took me a few attempts on my 85 but finally go it.
-When he pauses in an attack stance get behind him as he is going to do a strong frontal attack.
-He casts windsong which creates a cloud at his feet that prevents snares and movement debuffs.
-Tornado creates an aoe vortex that goes around in a circle. You can kite him out of this area.

As of Patch 5.0.5 his tornadoes DO NOT despawn at any point during the fight. At least that I'm aware of, I had 3 up by the time I killed him and the first one was still up.

Plan accordingly.

EDIT: Fought him a couple more times, I died once and when I came back one of his tornadoes had despawned and the other despawned seconds later. I'd say they do eventually despawn but it's hardly worth noting as there can be 4 up at once and he should be dead by then.

How to own this fool as melee.

1.) As soon as he starts casting Blade Flurry (can't be interrupted), either get the hell out of there or interrupt him with a stun/knockback (just be careful of the edge behind him). Personally I used dragon roar, but things like typhoon will work as well.

2.) Tornado is easy to avoid, all you literally have to do is pull him about 10 steps from where he cast it. Then just don't touch the swirly air of death and you'll be fine.

3.) Windsong, either try to stun him during this, or just pop a defensive cooldown and tough it out. Running is futile.

Comentário de Hygeia

This guy is stealthed, make sure you fly to the actual location in order to trigger npc scan. Flying over isn't enough.

Comentário de 964799

This rare is stealthed.

When searching for this rare, make sure you do not just fly over the location 39, 62 hoping that npcscan will alert you to him being alive. Unless you're actually within a few yards of him it will not trigger the npcscan alarm since he is stealthed.
Tested this a few times by resetting the npcscan cache and using my hunter's Flare to trigger the alarm from different distances away.

Just found him at the top of the hill at Thunderwood, he was stealthed at first so I didn't see him.
But after I wrote /tar Krax I found him instantly.
Dropped Needlefang Throatripper and Tian Trainee Leggings.

Comentário de Lilbolt

Fairly easy for a lvl 85 rogue, just move away when he casts Blade Flurry cause it will surely kill you. Other than that avoid the tornadoes and just grind him down with the usual abilities, I used every cooldown I had.

Dropped a pair of "Leggings of Spiritsong Melody" and a green sack with:
16~ gold, 18 kyparite and 19 rain poppy.

Comentário de Sharkon

Mantid are probably the deadliest rares in Pandaria, as their mechanics have the fewest countermeasures.

Windsong is a Mantid's weakest ability. The Mantid gains attack damage and movement speed, and cannot be snared, rooted, or slowed. Be ready to heal or use a defensive cooldown.

Tornado creates a persistent whirlwind that orbits your location when the spell was cast, dealing massive damage if it comes in contact with you. Try to place these in locations you can stay out of for a while, but be ready to deal with multiples as they last long enough for two or three to be active at the same time.

Blade Flurry is a Mantid's most lethal attack, dealing massive damage in a cone in front of the Mantid. The Mantid remains stationary and facing the same direction from the moment he starts to cast the spell, so it can be avoided simply by running through him, but the cast time is very brief and latency can often cause you to take a tick of damage even if you are clearly out of the area of effect. Stunning the Mantid during the channel will end the spell, but this isn't recommended as the spell is totally harmless and effectively a self-stun if you're not standing in it, and if you are then you're likely to be dead before you can get the stun off.

Just solo'd this guy on my lvl 87 resto shammy on my third attempt... Got 3 hit the first two tries by his ability Blade Flurry. On my third attempt i just kited him around and kept him snared with frost shock (avoiding the tornado's he summons). Once i had gotten him around 60% hp i just pop'ed my earth ele and hero, then finished him off fairly easily. Rewarded me the achievement and dropped an epic axe - pluss . Because im level 87 i didnt have a use for either item, there both BoP so i cant sell them and they both look pretty dull so there not worth keeping for Xmog either... a real shame i thought!

Comentário de Mondoblasto

On aggro he will say (not yell) "No! I must report back to Her!"

Comentário de 1057340

hey everyone,

i have been killing him like 10 times now for the Epic axe he can drop(lvl 85 rogue),i got it 2times now the name of the axe is : Needlefang Throatripper, its a really good starters weapon or twink item.
His respawn is mostly 2hours but sometimes its abit longer but not more then 45 mins.
i hope this can help you abit.

Comentário de kharth

Hes stealthed got to get close to see if your NPC scan goes off

Comentário de bratmonkey

apparently he is a scout for the Empress, overlooking the jade forest from high atop a peak. I suppose the jade forest is rich in resources for an insect-like mantid, with all its lush vegetation.

Comentário de Iceveiled

I died a couple times as a fury warrior until I realized that you have to take your time and use a little strategy instead of just going up and smashing him until he dies. You want to run away when you see him start to cast blade fury, I was level 89 in quest gear and this would hit me for about 1/3rd of my health. He stands in one place and does this for a few seconds, so if you need to bandage up now is a good time.

The other attack you want to avoid is the tornado. Just kite him down the hill out of the path of the tornado. Having your camera panned all the way back helps you anticipate the movement of the tornado - you definitely don't want to get hit by this one either. When he casts another tornado kite him a little further down the hill, etc. There are no other hostile mobs in the vicinity.

Take your time with this fight and you will walk away all but unscathed. The epic axe dropped for me the first time I killed him, of course, because it's useless to me. If I was trying on my rogue he probably wouldn't drop it in a dozen tries.

Comentário de Shoadowolf

WARNING!
ALL ATTACKS/SPELLS USED BY THIS RARE AND ALL OTHER MANTID RARES HIT HARD ON MEELEE CLASSES (Death Knights, Warriors, Paladins, Druids (in tank/dps spec), Rouges, and Monks) AND PLATE WEARERS, SO BE CAREFUL!
If your class is NOT meelee (Hunter, Mage, Shaman, Warlock, Priest) and if you have a pet with you (Death Knights have Exército dos Mortos and Reviver Morto, Hunters can use any pet, Warlocks have Evocar Emissário do Caos/Senhor do Caos, Mages have Evocar Elemental da Água, Shamans can use and/or Priests can probably use Demônio das Sombras)) use your pet to tank throughout the fight.

THE FIGHT:
Rajada de Lâminas is important if you're a meelee class, so be careful not to get too close to him, the best way is to run a little ways away from him.
Canção do Vento- Avoid this, again, if meelee, just kite him around until his buff wears off.
Tornado- You can see a little tornado swirling around in a cirle, STAY AWAY from it and move from a different location.

Wash, rinse, and repeat until you kill him!
Good luck! :D

Comentário de Martika

The last two times I have killed him I have had to log out and in again to loot him... ONLY him. Anyone else experiencing this?

Comentário de 861914

Just killed him for the first time in 5.3. Dropped 2 Lesser Charms, Grookin' Trousers, and a Brawler's Guild Invitation. Will try to upload a screenie, maybe this is one of the new drops from pandaland rares?

Comentário de Yogilaw

An addendum to previous posts on here regarding Rares in Pandaria;

Just because you may have great stats & have been knocking over 90+ Elites & Rares on TI for fun, don't assume that all the mainland Rares will be as easy. They're not. Take the trouble to check out on Wowhead the attributes of any you fancy, it will save you an expensive repair bill when your 'perfectly geared, mega-health' 90+ toon gets splattered all over Jade Forest (or wherever) by some snotty nosed lvl85 upstart.

DON'T think that just because the mobs' Health is only 1200/1500 or so it will be a push over. Mantid & Pandas have massive hitting casts that melee classes particularly need to be wary of. A little patience, & understanding of your enemy will go a long way to making encounters with these guys successful.

Happy hunting. Oh, & if you have a pet - use it!

Respawn timer on this NPC?

Comentário de paktu

Confirming that this creature does spawn at regular intervals (usually up once an hour or so) as of the date of this posting.

Comentário de Taalmisbruik

For anyone wondering. He is stealthed so you have to walk over the spot where is supposed to be for him te come out stealth and attack you.
