Pain in the ass to kill, as a 70, because of adds. Doesn't really drop anything special either.

Comentario de 48132

Interesting note, he can land crushing blows on level 70 players.

Comentario de mattous

Be warned if you trying to kill him that he will use lay on hands when he is about to die restoring his health to full.

Comentario de 71968

Hard as hell to kill, even as a level 70 warrior. Wiped dousands of times.

Comentario de radiophonic

Also be warned that his adds resist feign death, even if you're level 70.

Comentario de Gunhaven

Does Crusader strike which increases holy damage on the target taken, and well he does Holy light which heals himself for a small amount.

more importantly... this guy is actually part of a very long quest chain, started by tirion fordring (who is actually the father of Taelan). During the quest chain, he wil be part of an escort quest and wil turn friendly. He can solo every single mob in the area, even a pack of 4 elites at once. although beware of the runners since he can't last forever. When ever it happens you run low on health, run close to him and he wil be able to heal you aswel if he has the mana and ofcourse didn't use it on himself yet.

at the final battle of the escort, he wil die while fighting grand inquisitor isillien, although tirion fordring arrives then to help you kill the inquisitor.

About a 20 minute respawn timer.

Despite his alleged level 63, he seems to be flagged as a raid boss / lvl 73. As a Kara geared prot warrior, he seemed to hit me with Crushing Blows when I wasn't keeping shield block up. In addition I'm hit capped for enemies up to lvl 72 and he managed to miss my shield slam twice.

Managed to solo him, but definitely one of the toughest lvl 63's in the game.

Comentario de Foxpaw

Soloed him as a 70 SS-combat rogue just because I could :P Sapped one of his forward adds and tried to pull the other solo with a toss of the gladiator thrown. He aggroed with it but the two adds in the back didn't. Killed the add with blade flurry while beating on him. Got him down to near dead before the other add desapped and I had to vanish. I ate some stam food, popped a minor agi pot and poisoned up. Sapped the same add and tried throwing at him, drew both of the back adds. Near-killed both while blade flurrying, evasioned when they came back, improved sunder instantly squishy-fied him, and I managed to kill him, the two adds, and the de-sapper. It turns out that even his lay on hands has a cooldown :D

By the way, Taelan is son of Tirion Fordring from novel " Of blood and honor".

Comentario de Zido

Weird mob.
Was able to crush me at lvl 70, while being a level 63 (which is impossible). I assume, at lvl 60 he was a "skull" or boss mob, yet something got screwed up at Blizz.

Comentario de 64664

Wasn't able to solo him with level 70 Pre-Kara protection warrior buffed with pots.

At first he starts with 4 guards. if you pull one of the adds he will aggro as well as another guard. After you killed the two and decides to run back to heal up and get read for the next fight, he'll use his other adds. It seems that all of the adds are healed by the guy which making it only worse.

His adds respawn incredibly fast.
After 2 wipes I declared him as "unkillable".
I was very close 2 times but ofc mobs have the Power of Blizzard, that they use just to &*!@ you off. :}

You don't want to die here btw because the graveyard is miles away, and by miles I really mean MILES.
With 14k armor he still hits me for 800 damage a swing.

I always started out with doing much more damage then he did, he was about 25% while I still at 50% hp, but at certain points in the battle he just heals himself, and if you're unlucky he'll use a heal that replenish is whole life. And no he's not stunable, interuptable, fearable.

And the React: A H both at green is missleading. He's gonna kick your ass if you come too close.

Highlord Taelan Fordring in old hillsbrad when he was kid https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/npc=20361

Comentario de 71968

Kicked my Pre-Kara lv 70 warriors butt...even though I used pots and the whole shabang

Comentario de 182068

Didnt read if it was stated before but, Taelan is in Old Hillsbrad Foothills upstairs wearing a hammer.

Comentario de 223822

Difficult but soloed as a Full T6 Fury Warrior just have to pray for alot of crits cuz ya LoH sucks only time i almost lost was when he used it and ya loot wise he sucks only killed for the Cavaliers for a BS plan

Comentario de Shivrael

Well, I solo this guy a lot. Mostly because I have about 8 pre-bc blacksmithing patterns left to acquire, among them the full runic bullcrap set.

Taelan Fordring is kind of a badass. I say kind of because, knowing his nature gives a prot pally the information he needs to KILL Taelan Fordring consistently. I could see warriors and whatever having a lot of trouble with this guy because he's no push over.

That being said I am a post Kara partially SSC/TK geared prot paladin with a chip on my shoulder and a hankering to smith in a black sort of way. This means I have to kill Taelan Fordring a lot because unless I want to bring my homies out here for the pitiful drop rate and sad respawn timer, I am on my own.

So here's the secret to the Highlord of the Scarlet Fraternity.

He heals people. THIS SUCK!one

He uses LAY ON HANDS ZOMGSAURUS REX!

He... wastes both on other people. Also of note for you people who aren't privileged with a circle of PAIN like us prot pallies... if you kite him off and make him use LoH and then reset him he won't use it again.

TO YOUR ADVANTAGE!

He runs out of mana.

He doesn't bubble (but he's unstunable)

And he'll happily blow LoH on Bob the Unfortunate Cavalier, who just happens to be standing next to him, because BOB NEEDS IT MORE! WE LOVE YOU BOB!

Seriously though, Taelan prioritizes others over himself. I think it's an inherited family trait, seeing as such things are the cause of his father's exile. Which was the dumbest thing so many of those uppity whatfuxors could have done. But oh well.

So yes, to kill Taelan Fordring with the most consistent level of success, martyr him. Make him blow his payload on the noobs who chill with him, and he'll go down like... your mom on a tuesday?

FOR MORE EFFECTIVE ABUSE OF THE SYSTEM!

He respawns faster than his posse. If you're a good little poppet and dive back in early you can pull him and one or two of his broodlings, rather than the whole set. All he needs is one little munchkin to dote on in order to blow his skills on it, and you can nerf him with basically welfare soloing.

Good luck!

Comentario de Drakkash

Managed to kill him just before i died myself as a warrior in s2-3 arena gear

Tough battle

Comentario de azinja

As a 70 hunter with a groilladin he & his adds are a breeze ofc. My monkey got a bit low (~30-40%) at times, but there was no real worry.

Keep mend pet up at all times while you have the 4 adds hanging around and it should be fine. Spam Volley until Taelan is alone and then just kill him off.

As Shivrael says he respawns faster than his buddies, and when you have him alone he's a joke for a hunter. Bam, bam, bye.

Comentario de 263144

I just soloed him with a lvl 66 blue-green geared death knight. He caused some trouble but in the end he was dead.

Pulled all the adds, Death n' Decay, Unholy Blight and the usual disease-spreding and death strike spam.
Once all the adds (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/npc=1836#abilities) were dead I faced him alone and eventually I killed him.

Reding of 70s killed by Taelan, I come to think that this cool guy may be a bit overrated :)

Comentario de 329564

If you're hard headed like myself, and just refuse to give up until his death - I Recommend burning any adds you get with him FIRST.

As a 62 Enhancement Shammy, I found their (The Adds) https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=18103 to be the most annoying. Especially if it catches you in the middle of a heal.

Also, if you 'burn' him down fast enough for the last part of his health, you can avoid his Lay of Hands. Just a heads up! *smile* Unfortunately you can't 'shock' interrupt his heals, so don't sit on your shocks hoping to interrupt them.

https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=30824 + https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=51533 were a godsend. Goodluck!

Comentario de 229173

Soloed him and all 4 adds as 69 rogue in questing stuff. Killed all the adds first, vanished. Killed him. It took a while, but it can be done.

I was combat spec, with almost 50% dodge BTW.

Comentario de LeviGratton

Anyone have a rough idea of what armor he's wearing and what his weapon might be?

Comentario de BamBam14

I just killed him as a level 60 blood DK solo, pretty easy kill. Pulled first mob in front of him, which brought 2 other mobs including Highlord Taelan Fordring. So i killed the adds with ease then proceeded to take down Taelan. He put up a good fight but whenever I got him down and he used LOH I just used Vampiric blood, mark of blood and rune tap which also reset my health. Was easy after that, he resisted all of my attempts to slow him down or use mind freeze to interrupt his healing spells. Good fight but ofcourse I come out on top solo'd as a level 60 DK on Tichondrius server.

Comentario de 288482

Gratz on killing an elite guys....bet no one else has killed an elite in the entire world.

Comentario de 439698

Being a bit of a lore geek here but...

In the book "Of Blood in Honor" Taelan is five..ish. The book takes place with Thrall as Warchief, so it couldn't of happened more than 7 years ago. At the very end of the book, it shows Taelan as a twenty-one year old being knighted as a Paladin as the Silver Hand, and he is obviously a Paladin as Highlord Taelan Fordring, when you fight him it either takes place 10+ years in the future, or Blizz seriously screwed up the age timeline almost the same way as they did with Whitemane, Mograin and Vishas.

Comentario de Thottbot

Found Highlord Taelan this push. He resides high up in Mardenholde Keep. He is a lvl 65 elite. Surrounding him are 4 lvl 58 elite guards plus another two rovering the corridors.

Comentario de Thottbot

He's a lvl 63 elite and sometimes his guards are level 57. Bring some friends, he hits hard.

Comentario de Thottbot

if its not finished then how does someone have it on?

Comentario de Thottbot

His escort quest can be solo'd, as long as your still in your disguise (meaning u will have to head up there as quick as possible). The quest takes a good 15 minutes. U dont have to worry about him dying near the end since .... well... I wont spoil it...

Comentario de Thottbot

This quest is super super easy, do just like that guy says, stay back and let highlord pwn the balls out of everything, then you just stay far back when he dies and his pops comes and avenges his death :D freakin sweet

Comentario de Thottbot

I was just wondering because I thought it was a pretty funny illusion and would be comical to be able to get it again in the future.

Comentario de Thottbot

@ heavenfury: wtf?

Just keep the disguise on all the time and let the paladin npc do the work...

Then when he starts to ^&*!@slap that guy at the tower just keep a safe distance and go stand behind a tree... :/

Comentario de Thottbot

He is a lvl 63 elite and has 4 57 or 58 elites around him. At lvl 60, we were able to easily pull only him and 2 of the other guards. I say that because I don't know if a lower lvl would aggro the other 2 even though their against the back wall.

If you have a mage and a hunter, you can easily cc the 2 lower guys with ice trap and sheep and you're left fighting just him. We had him at 2% health and, be it a bug or not, he healed himself to 100%. He may be of paladin class so that may explain it, but it seemed like a bug because all the other times he did not heal himself. When we did finally take him down, he only dropped 13S and that's all. It was then that I realized it's too easy. If he dropped the trinket often, let alone 50% of the time, you could just sit there and camp him as he respawns about every ten minutes. I think I was dreaming that some boss outside an instance dropped some nice blues regularly.

Comentario de Thottbot

i spawns 4 61 crimson elites and he just keep on diying!

Comentario de Thottbot

Ashbringer does NOT as of yet exist in the game. There are many stories within the game refering to this weapon but it does NOT exist. Your best bet for Ashbringer showing up is as a Legendary drop from within a lvl 70 end game instance (expansion). We hope.

Comentario de Thottbot

Ashbringer isn't HIS sword... I think it's his father or something, that death knight in the last room of the armory section of Naxxramas.
It's not a VERY rare drop but I reckon you should work hard just to get to that room.

good luck

Comentario de Thottbot

you get the currpt ashbringer from the last boss in the armory section of naxx than 1 thin gnot to do with currupt ashbringer is walk near any argent down npc i read that if you do they set your reputation at hated yell at you and kill you the what you can do is go to SM cath the guy will yell somthing and all the npcs will become friendly than you walk to him than talk to the guy than you go to the undead guy in the back and he tells you to look into cleasing it in the outlands

Comentario de Thottbot

No, it wasnt the death knight. It was Morgraines in the Scarlet Monestary's fathers. By listening to the NPC's in LHC (Lights Hope Chapel) you'll realize he was thousands of times the hero or the man of Morgraine in the Monestary, because his father was killed while he was a child.

Hope that helps.

:P

Comentario de Thottbot

Ok i do not understand why would they creat ashbringer and that legendary staff quests if u cant even do them yet what is the point? why not just hold them back tell burning crusade does come out.

Comentario de Thottbot

My buddy just tried this quest. He made the mistake of following the post of hiding out since I read to him what I saw here. Well Taelan died, no daddy came, and the quest said failed. So if you want to redo the quest, just follow the post saying to hideout and you can solo it. Now if you want to succeed get a good party to help Taelan, a 63 Elite, fight a 63 Elite, six 60 Elites, and a couple 57 regulars. Good luck.

Comentario de Thottbot

-.- Read the lore! The Scarlet Crusaders are insane zealots who kill EVERYONE who isn't a part of it. They tortued entire families including women and children because they assumed they had the Plague of the Undead. THEY deserve to die, especially Isillen, that bastard!

Comentario de Thottbot

You see this guy as a boy in Old hillsbrad, in southshore. you also see all SM bosses :D

Comentario de Thottbot

you don't even need to worry about dying in this quest. First time I did it I didn't know all the mobs would aggro on me after Taelen falls, and I got absolutely slaughtered. This doesn't mean you fail, just don't release until after Daddy Fordring comes along and kills everyone (i.e. quest complete message comes up). Then release and run back, he stays there for ages so you have loads of time to run back and claim your reward. Piece of cake.

Comentario de Thottbot

is this guy who drops ashbringer/corrupted ashbringer?

Comentario de Thottbot

70 Rogue, couldnt solo him :p killed hes guards then vanish...got pwned when i tried to kill him lo

Comentario de Thottbot

LISTEN NOW IN BC OUTLAND GREENS ARE BETER THAN THIS PIECE OF ^&*! I WORKED MY ASS OFF TO GET IT AND GOT A BETTER ONE TWO LEVELS LATER FROM A QUEST IN HELLFIRE PENINSULA!

Comentario de Thottbot

in caverns of time this dude as a boy is in southshore in the second floor in the inn. and he has the mage his father gave him

Comentario de Thottbot

So...I am on my 70 pally...and run around this place just for the hell of t, stumble across this lvl 63 elite and think, hey, I can down this bastard, maybe he has some good drops, so I start fighting and learn this dude has some serious health, and the guards aren't making anything easier, well my consecrates eventually get the guards but the boss is only at like half and i'm nearly oom so I pop a mana pot and divine illumination with avenging wrath and go to town on him, after noticing he heals I came to the conclusion he too was a paladin, and low and behold, at 0.0000000000001%, he lays on hands, so I drop a nice loud F bomb right there, as I am once again oom and nearly dead, so I too use lay on hands and start whacking away with seal of wisd on him with the seal of veng up, it came pretty $%^&ing close to me dying, but 2 pots later, the bastard goes down, and I eagerly right click anticipating what loot he might bring me, and what do I find? 28 silver. so after al;l that and losing probably 10 or so gold in mana pots, I walk out of there with 28 silver and a very important lesson....DO NOT GO NEAR THIS GUY IF YOU HAVE ANY INTENTION OF FIGHTING HIM!

Comentario de Thottbot

70 rogue - not soloable.

Comentario de Thottbot

hey, how many mobs are in the actual building lol? jw?

Comentario de Thottbot

Comentario de Thottbot

Comentario de Allakhazam

drop was a green bow ^^

Comentario de Allakhazam

me (lvl 33 warlock) and a friend (lvl 42 mage) killed him (together with my felhunter)

Comentario de Allakhazam

42,15

Comentario de Allakhazam

In the old hillsbrad instance, hes an little boy in Southshore, along with many other lore characters, check it out.

Comentario de Allakhazam

is this his sword?

Comentario de Allakhazam

He's easy to kill. Get 3-4 with you and it should be possible.

Comentario de Allakhazam

im a 60 rogue full tier 2, just tried to solo and failed, this guy is kick ass solid

Edited, Apr 18th 2007 4:00pm by Andyn

Comentario de Allakhazam

easy sauce.. solo with a 60 rogue, he's a 61 elite. bubble is really annoying so make sure you kick/spell lock/counterspell etc before he plays that game.

even easier than the level 60 elite in tyrs hand.

Comentario de Sparrowssong

Downed him as a 70 Combat Rogue with a 66 Mage (pic in screenshots area). Mage handled the adds with CC (frost mage) while Rogue went 1v1. He's TOUGH... he is a pally and did bubble, but didn't throw lay of hands at the very end. Evasion, Adrenaline Rush, Blade Flurry, and a constant rotation of Slice & Dice along with Evis did the job. Had to pop a stone a lock had made earlier (had ran out of health pots earlier, so that was lucky). Drops nothing of consequence other than an ego boost. XD
