Yeah, you need 5 people to summon him up and shrink him down. Easy enough fight with my group, warrior, mage, 2 priests and a pally.
After he runs to make himself grow at 50% he seemed to chuck around alot his AoE shadow bolts faster.

On a side note, he can be summoned with 4 people:
"Hey, think you can summon with the 5th circle using your epic mount?"
5 seconds later, we had an ogre out XD

Comentario de Sidely

While attempting this encounter, he refused to shrink down three tries in a row. Each time he'd ignore the complete pentagram and enrage regardless. However, it is possible to simply nuke him down even if he enrages. With a party of an arcane/fire mage, disc/holy priest, resto druid, marks hunter, and prot warrior, we brought him to 3% before the 3-4k damage shadowbolt volleys finished us off. We would have won if we had been attacking during the ten seconds he tries to cast the enrage, but we decided to halt during that time in case that is what had been causing him to enrage regardless of the pentagram the previous two times.

Quite a buggy encounter. I strongly suggest just killing him as fast as possible, ignoring the enrage, since apparently it will usually be unstoppable.

Comentario de Jordaeh

you can pick the grimoire up, even if you are not killing him. It just drops on the ground and everyone can pick it up :)

Comentario de 30882

Very frustrating event if you try to obey the "get back into the circle" rule. On 2 tries, with everybody getting into circles on the spot, it made no difference and he enraged anyway. We figured that the time lost in worrying about the circles would be better spent DPSing and that turned out to be true.

Last attempt we just ignored it and kept pounding away and he dropped without incident.

Circles must be buggy or something.

Comentario de 13914

Pretty easy, and doesn't require 5 people to summon. I'm a mage and we just had 4 people stand in the circles while I blinked to the closest one and we summoned him just fine. He takes 10 seconds to enrage and it seems that the shadowbolts are the only dmg that is increased when he enrages not mele dmg.

Comentario de littlidabbi

For those without cords :

To get to the place go to the BEM-Netherstorm bridge. Just west of it, turning right off the road from BEM before crossing the bridge into Netherstorm is the summoning circle

Comentario de riaa

Just go full dps from start and ignore his 10 secs to get back to rings.. He went down first try

Comentario de Ardeth

77.31 Coordinates confirmed!

Comentario de Kathucka

To explain the full event....

The event takes place in a ring near the bridge to Netherstorm. There are five small circles of fire around the edge of the ring.

When characters stand in the circles, red lines form between them. So, each occupied circle is linked by a red line to the other occupied circles. When all five circles are filled, the red lines form a pentagram, and Vim'gol, an ogre warlock, is summoned.

Vim'gol will pause for a couple seconds and complain, during which time he is invulnerable. He will then attack whoever was the last character to step into a circle.

He attacks with a heavy melee hit and a Shadow Bolt Volley that hits everyone nearby. A tank, a healer, and some solid damage-dealers are highly recommended for this encounter.

At 50% health, Vim'gol announces that he's going to grow large and smash everything. He then runs to the center of the ring and channels a "growth" spell for 10 seconds. If five characters get in their circles and re-form the pentagram, it will interrupt his cast, and he will not grow. If it completes, he will be very large, dish out substantially more damage, and likely wipe the attempt.

When he dies, a container appears at his feet. Loot it for the quest item.

Some tips:

Have your tank enter the fire last. That way, he'll head directly for the tank.

Healers, ranged damage-dealers, and the tank should not move until the the growth spell is dispelled. If all five characters simply stay in their circles after the event starts, the growth will never happen. Only melee damage -dealers need to run around.

Everyone will be taking damage. Use potions and bandages to relieve pressure on the healer. Five living characters are required to stop the growth buff, so make sure you're alive at least that long.

The quest item container appears to be lootable by anyone with the quest. There is no need to be in on the kill or the summon.

Since it's an outdoor event, characters outside the group can assist with healing and damage-dealing, to break the five-man group size and make the event considerably easier.

Despite the experience of some well-geared players who have commented here, it's considerably easier to finish this event if he does not get his growth buff. Do run to the circles.

Make sure that you are not standing in the circles of fire when Vim'gol dies! If you are, he will be instantly summoned again, and at full health! You can still loot his quest item if this happens, though.

Comentario de 60640

I helped with this quest as a 67 Warlock, with a 70 Prot Pally, 70 Holly Pally, 70 Resto Druid, and a 70 Rogue.

Here is how it went for us, We went to 77,31 to do the summon... our first run on him we tried to get back into the circles to stop him from growing... this was a FAILURE!

The 2nd attempt we did not bother with the circles, Warlock and Rogue just had to cut 110% and just give it all burn cooldowns and all of that to get him dead before the group died.

Moral of this story is, The quest is broken, take some heavy hiting DPS and just violate this guy otherwise you will never take him down.

Comentario de Kremonte

To any warriors tanking this: reflecting the shadowbolts can do a lot of damage. He alternates shadowbolting you and one other (volleys, but only every other hits you), so time a reflect for about 2 seconds after he does the second volley, and you'll reflect the one on you.

When he enrages, spam reflect, but he volleys so fast you won't even catch every one of them. Plus, they do double damage, so you'll be doing 3k a pop to him.

Map location of the casting circle: http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=3522:779310

Comentario de Bengarion

Small warning!

He is summoned when everyone in the party is standing in a fire ring.

If, by chance, you kill him and everyone happens to be standing in a fire ring, guess what. You will summon him yet again.

Our group got him down the 'first' time - but half of us wiped when he immediately re-appeared as we were all standing in our fire ring. Guess you could say we did the quest twice...

Comentario de Generic

From the 2.1.2 Patch Notes

"Vim'gol the Vile now has a 30 second respawn cooldown."
That should fix the "we are still in the circles and resummoned him" issues people had.

Also:
"A problem with interupting Vim'gol the Vile's Unholy Growth spell has been fixed."

So no more bugs I guess.

Comentario de 60815

I did the entire series (5-man) with two feral druids, a balance druid, a mage, and a warlock.

I, as balance druid, did main heals with a little help from one of the feral druids from time to time.

A few of us died occasionally throughout the entire series - but it *can* be done without a full-specced healer. Just takes some work.

We stayed in the circles for this fight - the only ones leaving were melee and myself (as healer) when melee moved too far away. He got back in the middle, we got back in the circles, he didn't grow, we took him down in one try.

Comentario de 43819

Having trouble finding a group? Worry not: for both quests in this chain you can take the drop whether or not you killed the boss. In fact, I got all five group quests done simply by following allies around (I'm horde) and helping them - that way they don't mind when you take the quest item.

Comentario de 36035

think they may have fixed the sumoning. we tried with four but couldnt, even with blinking and mount running.

Comentario de dodger

We could summon him with three people today but it was not easy.

Paladin with Crusader Aura, Priest with normal Epic Mount and Hunter with Epic Mount and Riding Crop.

Comentario de orionshock

humm.. they must have nerfed him badly. just did this, only casted once. rather simple, just tank n' spank.

Comentario de 9646

As of August 13, 2007 you can still summon with four people. After reading the above post I thought they fixed it, and was running back and forth. I was sadly mistaken.

I was on an epic ground mount with bestial swiftness.

Comentario de 34072

This is part of the quest chain to open up the Ogri'la daily quests. You have to kill five different elite Sons of Gruul. They are VERY tough and you must have a proper 5-man party to handle them (Tank, Healer, 3 DPS). You might even want to bring along some extra people that can help out of party.

Quest Chain:
Speak with the Ogre
... Mog'dorg the Wizened
...... Grulloc Has Two Skulls (Grulloc)
...... Maggoc's Treasure Chest (Maggoc)
...... Even Gronn Have Standards (Slaag)
......... Grim(oire) Business (Vim'gol the Vile)
............ Into the Soulgrinder (Skulloc Soulgrinder)
.............. Speak with Mog'dorg

Comentario de 98874

Is this dude leashed?

Comentario de 108241

For this quest, and all the other ones like it (Slaag, Maggoc, etc), you can be in a raid and get them killed, but you wont be able to loot (or open) the item.
On the bright side.. all you have to do is leave the raid and you can loot (or open) the item!

I found this especially helpful 'cause all the ranged DPS can just stay in their rings and not worry about the guy getting bigger and whatnot. :D

So if you feel like doing these quests with your entire guild or something, it's possible! Yay! :D

Comentario de 254939

I've soloed all the pre-quests that leads to this as a 80 Death Knight, but I unsure if this is doable since it says in the quest log "..must be summoned by yourself, and four others.."

Has anyone tried?

Comentario de bizold

You'll need at least two other players to help you summon him. Have all 3 players stand in the circles, and then two players need to run to the empty nearby circles to activate them before the original ones they were standing in wear off.

I've tried several times to summon him on my own with epic flying mount + 20% mount speed and am unable to do so.

Comentario de 201757

I just did this quest on my Horde priest with the help of 3 alliance players. We did the trick mentioned above about going between the circles. Apparently it doesn't have to be a group of players, but can be just 4-5 players in general.

Comentario de Sinius

We needed 4 players, was like impossible with 3. It kept wearing off all the time.

Comentario de 253923

The 2 pre quests are quite easy solo. But its impossible to try and find a group for this one. Especially since everyone is busy with their own new expansion stuff right now.

Comentario de 283797

This can be 3 or 4 manned during wotlk

-first have 3 people stand on 3 different circles
-have 2 people log off and go on alts
-bring their alts to the place and have them go on two different circles
-open a second wow client
-log yourself off by logging on to the second client
-log on your main character
-and your alts should still be there standing on the circles

Same thing can be done to 4 man it, only need one person to bring their alt.

Comentario de Mostunknown

12/24/08 You Can still 4 man him

Comentario de lastbornnobody

I did them alone as an 80 druid until i got this one. You need to have at least 4 people to complete the summoning. I am 99.99% sure you cannot summon this guy alone.

Comentario de deadbeat75

You can summon this boss with help from the opposing faction.

I (a moonkin) was solo but helped a group of alliance summon him, and even got to loot the quest item too after he died!

PS. You don't need to get the tag on any of these bosses. If you have the quest you can loot the quest item.

Comentario de jon4009

You need five people to stand in the flame circles to summon this guy. Pretty sure it can't be done solo... which is annoying as the Winter Veil achievement needs this :|

Comentario de Aenonar

Were trying to do this quest line with my warrior and druid alt (dual account) when I hit this dead end.. I just couldn't get a group for it, but I managed to get two others to help for a minor reward.

But we just couldn't get the mount or blink trick to work, no matter how much I tried the previous connection was always removed when the new one was made.

So I fetched an alt, placed it in a circle and alt+f4 to crash the game. Then there were a tiny amount of time where the game still thought the char were logged in, and during that time I logged back in on my warrior.

Mission successful! The enrage in the middle wasn't any major trouble for a 80 fury and resto druid, and also a 73 and 67 death knight.

Comentario de 283797

You should have enough time if you do the two client trick. My character and my partner's character stayed online for like another minute.

Plenty of time.

Comentario de 256123

The level of the player doesn't matter either. Our lock ported in a lvl 13 and we managed to get it done.

2-4-09 you can still 4 man him, but Demonic Circle doesn't seem to work anymore.

Comentario de blaumeux

as in 3.1 only 1 charater need to stand in fire circle to summon him....why dindt they do that before the winterveil event.....

Comentario de 40479

Patch 3.1.0 is supposed to be changing this quest so that only one person is needed to summon him.I t will still take 5 to hit all the wards during the actual fight though.

Comentario de 254684

I was also able to do it with 3 toons by activating 3 circles, then having 2 toons run to the empty 2 spots. The red lines faded pretty much as soon as the toons left their circles, but Vim'gol spawned anyway.

Comentario de Kalx

well, now it IS before winterveil, december is yet to come ;)
It's not like last year's was the last one

Comentario de Mediccfox

As of patch 3.1 you can solo this quest. I stayed in the ring while my pet attacked, it didn't stop his growth but he is pretty easy to DPS down as a level 80 BM Hunter with a core hound.

Comentario de kellorion

Was stated in the 3.1 patch notes, only need 1 toon to summon, but more to interrupt the buff. Not needed. Just now did it as a 0/14/57 DK, popped Army and Gargoyle and he was dead before any of the ghouls died or the gargoyle flew away. Lvl 80 S5 blue pvp set geared Unholy DK.

Comentario de Sjenka

u can solo it just stand in circle and mob will summon

Comentario de 193373

Can be solod now. Just did him with my pala

Comentario de 191072

i just 2 manned this... duird tank + arcane mage

we stood in 2 circles and burned him

Comentario de Snoweh

As of 3.1 You can Summon him on your own, Just walk into a Circle of fire and he will spawn.

Comentario de kylememan

Confirmed - Just did it and i have no idea if they also nerfed the guy but he was weaksauce, easier than any of the three prior giants.

Comentario de 227221

I just soloed this with my enh shaman. No problems summoning - was on my fast flyer on ground, ran through all circles and then popped wolves. He enlarged with 8% left and was down soon after.

Comentario de 367240

I just soloed the quest with a lv80 Holy Paladin.

To summon him just get on your mount and pass by all the 5 fire rings when riding. Then the boss will appear when you touch the last one.

Comentario de 244481

I just did this quest 5 minutes ago, for my Loremaster title. No idea when they changed it, but the mob can be solo-summoned.

Comentario de 334626

Did it solo as level 80 prot warrior, pretty easy just hits for about 3k when he grows

Comentario de 222374

Solo'd as 80 Blood DK it says you need more than one person to summon but all i did was step into one of the blue fire cirlces and he summoned when he grows bigger he hits hits like a tank and got me down to 25% health but killed him used rune tap and death pact on ghoul

Comentario de 94396

just soloed him as a 80 hunter all i did was stood in the blue circle also and then kited him around and when he tried to grow just unloaded on him and he died no problem

Comentario de 359192

Easy solo on my survival hunter. Grulloc gave me more trouble then this punk. Just keep mend pet up and feign death as necessary and just burn him.

Comentario de tired

I just summoned him solo. I don't know if they just changed it, or if it was broken from someone wiping before me. I didn't see any bones. All I did is land my drake in a circle, and he shouted and appeared.

Comentario de pnukup

I just did this quest alone.
After I red the comments I thought "Damn, I will need more ppl"
I landed in one of the circles and *POOF* he appears.
I start attacking asap but couldnt do much with his 100% damage bonus Buff.
But as a lvl 80 DK tank with 31k hp it didnt do much :)

Comentario de sindragosa

can be solo summoned as of 3.1.0
soloed as frost mage, so I guess any class can solo him (lvl 80 ofc)
slightly less than 100k hp

Comentario de Merelan

Can be soloed by an 80 resto druid. I used a flask of Stoneblood, other than that just MotW, Thorns, etc.

Just healing through his damage seemed to work pretty well - even once he enraged the damage wasn't too difficult to heal through, did pop barksin and innervate, though. Shifted out of tree form to keep moonfire up on him, it killed him fairly quickly because he doesn't have too much health(about 97k, according to WoWhead).

Comentario de 15628

I just completed this entire quest line solo on my lvl 80.

Comentario de 93413

Can now be summoned alone, without a group, just step into a circle and the mob spawns.

Comentario de 152268

Patch 3.1.0 :
The fight event for the "Grim(oire) Business" quest at Vim'gol's Circle in the Blade's Edge Mountains now only requires one character to stand within a fire circle in order to summon Vim'gol the Vile. However, it still takes five characters, one in each of the fire circles, in order to interrupt Vim'gol the Vile's Unholy Growth cast.

His enrage is only 100% more damage, so its manageable if you have some sort of migration. Soloed as a lv 80 feral dps druid in bear form.

Happy Rep farming ! Good luck on those nether rays.

Comentario de avatarofshadow

I was only one quest away from the Blades Edge achievement for the last six months. When they nerfed this so one person could summon it, I ran in, and killed him before he even targeted me. I dropped my Army of the Dead, and he died before they despawned. He DID start talking, and get all big, but he died the second he got big, and before he cast anything.

DK unholy / blood DK in crafted & WG pvp gear

Comentario de 189761

Hes easy soloed as a lvl 80 ench shaman...

Comentario de 316344

Now that it only requires one person to summon, it's pretty soloable if you can take the hits. As an 80 pally, I was able to burn him down so that he died just as he was finished casting Unholy Growth, his enrage. Didn't even have to heal myself. Doesn't hit too hard on plate, but clothies might want to bring a tank.

Comentario de 480459

I just did this quest for the BEM achivement and you no longer have to have help summoning him, stepping into any of the circles summons him straight away.

Comentario de djkroo

Incorrect. All you need is to stand inside ONE of those fire looking runes, between the stones, then he spawns immediately. As stated above by other posters.

Comentario de 491518

I was able to summon and destroy the creature solo as an 80 demon lock with only stepping into one fire ring. I just did steady DPS and downed him in less than a minute.

Comentario de 146076

Just a note to say that this seems to have been changed recently to no longer require several people to summon Vim'Gol. Simply stepping on any fire circle spawned him.

No problem to solo this at level 80. Took longer to fly there than it did to do the quest.

Comentario de olania

Soloed on a Shadow priest with mostly ilvl 232 gear (Tier 9, Ony, etc). Summoned him, popped my Shadowfiend to "tank", and burned him down before he could even finish casting his growth spell.

Comentario de 90137

Seems you don't need 5 man to summon him. I simply stepped on one of the circles and Vim'Gol spawned istantly.

Popped mirror image + trinket macro and stuff and he went down in 10 seconds (lvl 80 arcane mage)

Comentario de 498573

Ya pretty much i am lvl 80 SV hunter an i just soloed it ...
ran around the circle
spawn
misdirect on pet
dps
dead

Comentario de 338990

For all you lvl 80's trying this you shouldn't have much if any trouble. Soloed him as a Lvl 80 ret paly no prob.

Comentario de 428479

just soloed him as a lvl 80 combat rogue, pretty easy, got me half my total hp before i killed him.

all u need to do is stand in one of those 5 circles surrounding the big one, and he'll appear.

Comentario de 412625

you CAN solo summon and defeat him. As an 80 holy pally, mounted up and ran through all the fire circles, cannot interrupt the enrage but the damage is still so little that i could holy shock through it.

Comentario de Velectra

soloed on an 80 rogue easy as pie mounted and ran around circle stealthed garrote, evasion, adrenaline rush, blade fury and just DPS'ed the crap out of him he grew larger but didnt do too much ended up only taking 35% damage really easy fight IMO the 3 sons where harder for me

Comentario de 438268

Hey YOU CAN SOLO THIS Quesst

Comentario de Anuv

Solo'd as an 80 rogue. You do not need anyone else to start/complete this quest. All I did was stand in a circle and fly to a second one. He then popped up, completely attackable.

Comentario de 322186

Solo'd as 80 sub dagger rogue. Cakewalk, he didn't even get me down to 50% health, didn't have to potion, just popped evasion and prep twice and dps away.

Comentario de Ouroro

Solo'd as 80 Surv Hunter. You don't need anyone but yourself to summon him. Just kited him and let my pet take a few hits. Kill Shot'ed him before he enraged. Easy pesy. :)

Comentario de Waky

I easily soloed this as an 80 Mage, just summoned my mirrors and attacked, he only started to get bigger when I just killed him.

Comentario de 549883

Level 80 Affliction Warlock. - Solo with a void Tank.

Dont stand in the main circle...just in one of the small fire cirles near it. This started my event no problems.

I had two DOTs on the mob and healed Void as required. Yes the Mob did hit harder once he enlarged but it didnt pose a serious problem. I wouldnt have liked to over DPs'd and got the aggro on me...think he would have killed me quickly if he went for me.

If you are a herbalist there was a nearby Dreaming glory for an additional buff.

Comentario de Guio

I was able to solo him on my Arcane Mage. He was the easiest of all 4.

Comentario de 259540

Had 98k health, and went down fairly quickly in a first 4 icc geared mage (arcane spec obviously.) Did notice it took several moments to summon him, but once summoned it went quick.
Also, does count for the blades edge loremaster achievement.

Comentario de safermike

Counts for both Sobre el filo de la espada and 3000 misiones completadas.

Was not very hard to solo, as people already have mentioned, he can be summoned by just stepping into one of the circles alone, by yourself.

Comentario de llangevi

My level 80 healing priest used an alt spec for shadow to do this. My DPS isn't great in Shadow, about 2k (20k heals in main spec). Yet, this was an easy solo, even for me!

I landed in the middle of the summoning circle, then walked to one of the outer circles, and the boss shows up.

I sent in Shadow Fiend to take the initial threat. I added a couple of DoT's (SW:P and Devouring Plague) and made sure those were kept up. When I got the threat, I used "Fade" to give it back to my "pet" until he died. Then it was a lot of normal DPS with nothing special. From the experience with the other bosses in this chain, I did a Greater Heal on myself the moment I his 75-80 percent health, since, as a clothie, I can go down fast. Kept shields up at all times.

When he enlarged, I just kept up the pressure. I didn't worry about interrupting him with the circles (didn't know it would work in a solo). He is immune to Silence, and he was at about 5% when he ran back to me, during that time I had healed myself once during his channeling to 100% and then took him down.

2 Greater heals, 1 Shadowfiend, 2 Dot's always up, Shields up, and bang away at him until he's dead.

Comentario de 85342

This DOES count towards Blade's Edge, unlike the last quest prior to this one

Comentario de 626807

Soloed first try as a 70 feral druid (sunwell gear).
Actually fought most of the fight in cat form/ insta healing. When he enraged I healed to full quickly and dps him nearly to dead then sat in bear with rip on him. Had to pop Frenzied regen and survival instincts, but was easier than most of the other bosses in this chain for me (he has about 40k less hp).

Comentario de Dusklight

How to complete this entire quest chain with little-to-no effort.

1.) Have an 80 that can solo these mobs
2.) Park your alt near the mob you want and log off
3.) Log on and ferry your main over to the mob
4.) Kill mob
5.) Log onto alt, the desired object will still be there
6.) ?
7.) Become new ogre king/queen

Because all quest targets drop the item anyone can loot it. I'm not sure when it disappears, but you should have enough time to loot it on your alt.

I'm also not sure if Vim'gol requires you to have the quest to summon him, but you can summon him on your alt then flee. He sticks around for a pretty long time.

With Skulloc, you can summon him on your alt then get on your flying mount. Log off and wreak havoc with your main.
The Soulgrinder will be in danger by the time you get on your main, but it is doable!
Good luck!

Comentario de Kozuka

Retarded easy quest just walk into a circle of fire (its more like red Smoke Than fire) he will apear and nuke him killed him in 6 secs as Boomkin druid

Comentario de 648983

Soloed as level 70 frost mage. Only boss in this questline I managed to solo so far.

Comentario de chevymoto

Just to make it easy. Just have to run around the outside of the circle, through the smaller circles of fire. After I had ran through all of the smaller circles he spawned and was very easy to solo at level 84.

Comentario de Sharilyn

Just soloed him with Level 74 Prot Paladin with Lv70 PVP gear (a.k.a. Resilience, which is useless). I never dropped below 70% HP; you just need proper management of your damage skills (SotR), and Damage Mitigation abilities (WoG to get up a 10% Holy Shield Block Buff, Divine Protection/Ardent Defender). Did not use any Potion/Guardian Elixir/Trinkets.

Comentario de 702755

This is soloable by an arcane mage at approximately the appropriate level (69 to talent into Arcane Power, but the quest requires 70 or higher) with average item level 135, well enchanted with TBC enchants, by the following two-stage method:

Stage 1

Stand briefly in a fire circle, until "Vim'gol the Vile yells: You dare summon me?"
Immediately run or blink directly away from Vim'gol, putting maximum distance between you.
Cast Mirror Image and Arcane Power, then begin chain-casting Arcane Blast at Vim'gol.
Vim'gol will rush your mirrors, which will be very near to you. Blink or run away, preferably behind him, being careful not to let your stacks of Arcane Blast fall off.
Repeat casting Arcane Blast until one of the following happens:

Vim'gol runs back to center
Your mirrors expire
You run low on mana

Ideally, the first should happen, but if the second occurs it is not the end of the world. The third, however, may cause problems.

Stage 2

If you are out of mana (before your mirrors expire or while Vim'gol is running back to his spawn location), use this moment to cast Evocation in order to regen as much as possible before Vim'gol begins his enrage cast. Casting Presence of Mind and an instant Arcane Blast before the buff wears off will ensure that you maintain maximum DPS output.
Use your Mana Gem between Arcane Blasts. (If you have the Improved Mana Gem talent, which you should as an arcane mage, this will boost your spellpower greatly for the remainder of the fight.)
During Vim'gol's enrage cast, use any trinket cooldowns you may have, as well as any regen abilities (especially mana potions) to keep yourself from running out of mana.
If Vim'gol finishes his enrage, and is more than a couple Arcane Blasts from death, cast Mana Shield. This is a last-resort option, as you will need as much mana as possible to finish Vim'gol off. Note that Incanter's Absorption may make the difference between life and death if you end up using Mana Shield.
If Vim'gol is still standing when you cast Mana Shield, it is a race to down him before he downs you.

My DPS during this fight was just shy of 3000, and left me with nearly full health and some mana to spare. I did not need to use trinkets, Evocation, or potions. I was self-buffed with Mage Armor and Arcane Brilliance, and used glyphs of Arcane Blast, Mage Armor, Arcane Power, and Mirror Image.

This tactic is very situational and only useful against single mobs with up to or approximately 100k health. More specifically, it should only be used in areas where picking up adds during or after the fight is unlikely or impossible. Any more health than that, or multiple enemies at once, will make this strategy much less viable, if not completely ineffective.

Wont he spawn a lvl 85? Invite a friend around lvl 70 , just you and him. It doesnt requires to have the quest for the lvl 70 player as long as he go to the area where he should spawn.

Comentario de 853537

I am not sure if that has changed again, but I am standing in the circle as we speak, but he doesn't spawn...

Comentario de bratmonkey

my lvl 70 warrior tank with BT gear just soloed it. Just bandage inside any fire ring when he runs to the center. I'm not sure how I summoned him though. It looked like all I did was stand in one of the outside rings of fire.

Comentario de Blackboy0

All that is required is to stand in one of the outside rings of fire, Vim'gol el Vil will spawn and you will have to kill him. With the latest change to Outlands in Patch 4.3, Vim'gol el Vil has no more than 10,000 HP and can be easily soloed.

Comentario de 923989

As of patch 4.3 all you need is one person to stand in a little circle of fire and he spawns immediately, he is no longer elite and my enhance sham killed him in one hit... very easy peasy :)

Comentario de kalany

if you have trouble and you are lvl 85 you must go running trough the fire and than he will summon

Comentario de Arcanehore

As an FYI, you don't stand in the middle, you stand in the little fires on the outer edge...

Comentario de cinb40

If you are like me and working on clearing zones that you skipped when you were lower level when you get to the circle stand in one of the flame circles that is flickering around the design in the center. Whack Vile and collect his book, and go turn it in

Comentario de Duthsa

I just solo'd with a marksman hunter, my pet took damage, but he never even got to hit me, so I can safely say this is no longer a 5 person quest. My Hunter is not equipped with anything spectacular, so its pretty easy now.

Comentario de saeid

Stay in one of five fier , he'll be summoned and you can kill him .

Comentario de 1002544

i just did this quest i dont remeber it being this easy i just stood in a circle and used dots soloable kill

Comentario de wuvius

To summon Vim'gol...stand in one of the small fiery rings on the outside.

Comentario de Zammasu

You no longer need five people to summon him, you just have to stand in one of the circles and it automatically spawns him~

Comentario de JuliaHB

Well, I remember this quest from back in the BC days when it took 5 ppl to summon and kill this mini-boss. What I didn't remember was where the "rings of fire" are that you stand in to summon him (SENIOR MOMENT)! Let's just say they don't seem very obvious. Maybe it is because my graphics are turned down (need a new 'puter...), but I'm standing in the big orange ring in the center...thinking any day now, you stupid ogre... sigh.

The actual "rings" (looked more like faint swirls to me) are just outside the raised platform with the orange symbol.

For those with waypoints, they are (in no particular order):
77.08, 31.22
77.27, 31.84
77.39, 31.70
77.90, 30.85
77.45, 30.52

Any one of those 5 will do. He is no longer an Elite, and can easily be soloed at 70 (Me? Balance Druid...in this case). Just stand in one of the "rings of fire", and he will appear. After he is down, the book will spawn on top of him, and will stay there for about 20-30 secs.

Comentario de LadyB

Solo'd this with my lvl 76 Worgan hunter - brought him down in three shots and the book sits on his stomach. I stood for ages in the middle ring like the quest said but to no avail, read the comments about standing in the flaming circles around the edge and he appeared immediately if that helps anyone.

Note that if you are on the quest Infiltrarse en el Templo Oscuro you will not be able to complete this quest due to some phasing issues.

Comentario de 1419711

Someone commented that if you are on the quest Infiltrating the Black Temple www.wowhead.com/quesSt=32325 you will have phasing issues. This is true, but the ONLY way to COMPLETE the warlock quest before you can fix the phasing issues, and even then I am not sure if that will fix it. I put in a ticket and was ignored and then got this as a reply:

"I see you were having a bit of trouble with the quest Grim(oire) Business. This is do to the phasing from the quest Infiltrating Black Temple. Unfortunately once started, the phasing from this quest cannot be removed until the quest is completed. Even abandoning the quest will not revert the phasing."

So, if going for the Fa-la-la-la-Ogri'la Tra-la-la-la-Ogri'la you might need to do this on an alt, if you need this chain to get to the completion. I looked all over online, so I hope this helps people. I will update if I complete the black Temple with my lock, but it will be after the Winter event is over, or if someone else completes the quest please post if it fixes the phasing.

Blizzard will tell you to look up help guides, even if you say you have, check forums, even if you said that you have, and a bunch of other frustrating crap on your first ticket, so just try completing the Black Temple or if for the Winter event, get on an alt. As of now they will not help.

Comentario de janan2

I decided to solo this and when I went and stood in the circle he wouldn't appear. I tried again and nothing. For the 3rd try I decided to run around in the outer circle and go thru the little fires and then went up to the circle on the mound and then I decided to go around again but he finally appeared. I am lvl 75 Warlock and my minion basically killed him because I forgot to put him on passive. I thought oh no I won't get credit as usual, but lo and behold the book was just laying there to be picked up.

Comentario de Gunslinger313

If you have your graphics set to low, you can't see the circles of fire. They are the areas between the glowing pillars where puffs of fire are rising from the ground. Don't stand in the center mound, they are in the circle surrounding the mound. He materialized within seconds once I found the correct spot. Lvl 70 hunter - very easy kill.
