Es bastante facilillo este boss con usar http://es.wowhead.com/spell=528#modified-by sobre el tank se reduce bastante el daño.
Sus habilidades son similares a las de un dk corriente asi que no cuesta mucho tirarlo.

The last boss of Trial of the Champions (The 5 man instance).

He consists of three main phases, and will fly down and engage the tank after you speak to the elf npc.

Phase One - In normal form, summons one ghoul that should be killed or snared or shackled. If he is not killed he will explode at the end of the phase. Easy phase, otherwise tank & spank. The ghoul will also "charge" party members, and can be a real pain for casters if not dealt with. Has a few diseases, but nothing too major.

Phase Two - The Black Knight will rise as an undead and will summon an army of the ghouls. There are two strategies to deal with this.
1) Everyone groups on the tank so the ghouls can be tanked. You aoe the ghouls down as quickly as possible before they can explode
2) Kite the ghouls around and focus fire on the boss. The Black Knight will regulary blow ghouls up, but if your kiting is up to par this will not be a problem.
Avoid standing in the AOE he creates.

Phase Three - The Black Knight rises again as a ghost with increased dps and magic damage debuffs. He aoes the group and the fight becomes a dps race to kill the boss before the healer runs out of mana. Healers will need to AOE heal or be skilled to survive this phase. Be aware of people gaining the "Marked for Death" debuff, as they will take some serious damage and be knocked back. It is recommended to save bloodlust or other applicable buffs for this phase.

After this The Black Knight is FINALLY dead and he will be lootable for two epic-quality items and an Emblem of Triumph. He will also drop a Champion's Seal in Heroic Mode.

Edits are all for more detail/spelling/grammar.

Only people who know there stuff would get this joke, definitely well placed

Comentario de lubofm

For me as Resto Druid this is easy fight. If all party members stands very close to each other, on normal dificulty, only Wild Growth is able to heal everyone during phase 3. On Heroic I place Rejuvenation on each party member and then just cast Wild Growth on CD and its ok.

I think only exploding army of death during phase 2 is dangerous.

Comentario de 128214

as a pally tank using Consecration right before the sencond round begins usually pulls all the undead spawns to you, if that fails use your AoE undead spell and that brings them running to you,

Also is important to draw all the agro from the first four guys, it's easy for a party member who dies to come back before the round is over but it's better if that never has to happen, especially in heroic.

fun little instance though, great way for gearing duelspec and picking up currency pieces

Comentario de HappyLandfill

Has anyone noticed that the voice actor for The Black Knight during this encounter seems to be the same guy who's voiced all the intro cinematics so far?

Comentario de Saldor

For phase two i do a make a different aproch for the adds
my setup is casters only so this might not work for melee

I first use Holy Wrath to grab all of there agro instanly and lay down my aoe. Once i have sufficant agro i start to slowly kite him around in a circle trailing the ghouls that are about to expload behind making use of the cast time.

I've done this everyday sense the patch was released and it works for me - in theory it will allow melee dps to attack him as well but again becuase of my setup i am unable to test this

Edit: i don't understand why this was downrated - its a valid tactic and the person who stated the exact same tactic below me managed to be uprated, Wowheads out to get me =)

Comentario de thebum

If you want to avoid getting hit by the ghoul explosions just kite the boss around. Because of the cast time on the ghoul explosions you will never be able to be hit by it if you just keep moving.

Am i the only one that finds HC phase 3 really hard to heal, as a paladin healer?

Comentario de 326464

For the Achievement (I've had worse), we had a pally off-tank and two great burst DPS (Warlock in full T8.5 and Mage in T8) along with a shaman healer. The main tank (DK, well-geared) moved the Black knight around while the pally off-tank AoE taunted the ghouls. The mage and I burned down all of the adds (there were 8 I think) before any could blow up. I've noticed that the one he tries to explode is the lowest health mob, and the explosion cast is about 5 seconds. So, its quite possible to just single-target burn the adds to like 10%, have 1 DPS move on to the next one while the other one kills, rinse and repeat x8.

If you are having issues, stack together during the pull, have the mage use Frost Nova, everyone runs out, warlock AoE stun, the AoE as the tank kites. Either way works. Explosion Radius is about ~15 yards, so no melee.

Also, the ghoul in phase 1 (Risen someone or other) counts towards the achieve, so just burn him too. Im-->CF--->CB--->IN was more than enough to kill him (7k overkill). Also, be mindful of the Black Knight's Desecration (the gray stuff on the ground. It ticks for about 2k on a tank and slows movement speed by 50%+.

I've also done this achievement using a Demo-specced warlock (myself) who poped Meta, charged right as the ghouls were spawning, used IM aura, poped the AoE stun, AoE Taunt, and then demo-circled out while 3 ranged DPS AoE'd like all hell (Ranged were Warlock, Mage, Ele Shaman).

Comentario de 326464

Use Glyph of Holy Light. Makes life a lot easier. It shouldn't be too bad as long as your DPS doesn't suck. He's got about 250k HP in heroic, and that AoE thing hurts quite a bit at ~8 stacks (takes about 30 seconds to get there), so as long as your DPS can push 3.5k+, you should be alright. If one DPS dies, oh well. Make sure your DPS stacks up on the tank. There is no benefit from their standing 1000000000 yards away (the spell has like a 50k yd range, its a mass-cast, not exponentially-decreasing AoE. If they are stacked and you can spam HL, your life should be golden, especially with beacon on the tank. You'll only have to focus on healing the raid (see below for why).

If you have a DK tank, they can chain pop Unbreakable Armor-->IBF--->AMS and require little-to-no healing for the fight. Unbreakable will absorb 2k damage from all attacks, which is effective for the first ~3 stacks (due to magic resistance, mitigation, etc.). IBF reduces damage by 30% from all sources, which should make stacks ~3-7 manageable (they'll hit for ~4k per, on a 40k tank buffed, which is nothing), and AMS for stacks ~8-9 (this actually reuqires skill on the DK tank's part to time it right, but if done properly will work for both stacks). If executed correctly, will cause those later killer stacks to hit for a meager 2k.

The upshot is that you shouldn't have a problem healing this as a paladin as long as you (1) have GoHL (2) your group knows how to stack up, (3) your tank isn't a moron, and (4) your DPS can break 3.5k (you can do it with 2.8k, but 3.5k helps quite a bit if you don't have a shaman/priest/druid healer).

Comentario de Starlin

If you die at any point during this fight, release immediately and fly back, takes about 10-25 seconds to get back in the fight, depending on your rig and number of mods.

Also, don't loot the corpse until you verify everyone is alive and in the instance.

When phase one ends...

"Don't look so smug! I know what you're thinking, but my flesh was merely a set back. Did you honestly believe I would trust the future to some layer of tissue? Hahahaha... Oh no, no, no, it was merely an instrument, a stepping stone to a much larger plan! It has all led to this...and this time, you will not interfere!"

When phase two ends...

"Don't look so smug! I know what you're thinking, but my bones were merely a set back. Did you honestly believe I would trust the future to some scrawny, weak, skeleton? Hahahaha... Oh no, no, no, it was merely an instrument, a stepping stone to a much larger plan! It has all led to this...and this time, you will not interfere!"

Comentario de rnbw

The minion in the first phase (ghoul) appears to randomly deaggro the tank and go for another party member. In my latest run it just kept bashing on the Warlock. I taunted it off and built some threat on it, but a little bit later it ran for the Warlock again.

Comentario de gamerunknown

As a priest healer, it helped to use hymn of hope as soon as he despawned at the end of phase 1, then shadowfiend in phase 3.

The AoE damage during phase 3 is a little crazy, so it's a good place to use divine hymn. Shield yourself before starting though, to reduce pushback.

Can anyone post the soundfiles for this guy?

Comentario de 440547

We actually 4-manned this on Heroic today with no major issues.

Group makeup was DK, S. Priest, Druid tank and Paladin healer (myself). It was a nice surprise we could actually do this, seeing as none of the DPS were above 1.9k, and both the DK and Priest were fresh 80s, mostly decked in the ilvl200 gear from regular. Still, it was pretty easy.

As others have said, massive AoE on the adds in P2 helps tremendously. Even if a few do explode, it's nothing unhealable. P3 is basically time for popping cooldowns and burning through your mana if you're a healer. In my particular case, I was sure to melee in P2 with SoW up to top off my mana as much as possible (P2 becomes dull after the adds are all down, since no major damage is being dealt, so it's the perfect time to melee), and even after preemptively spamming HL all through P3 (and without Plea) I still finished with ~30% mana left.

Here's the strategy that often use when tanking the black knight.

Phase 1: Simple spank and tank with a ghoul add, The ghoul will explode when the black knight either dies or if the ghoul reaches 10% health.

Phase 2: Burn down the black knight as the tank holds aggro on all of the mobs. When the black knight uses Ghoul explode, move the black knight and ghouls out of range. Keep burning the boss and move between the two points when the ghouls are marked to explode. Once the boss is dead, run away from the remaining ghouls as they all start to explode.

Phase 3: The boss returns as a ghoul and it's a test of survivability. The black knight will give a 10 second debuff that increases magic damage taken by 200%. This and Death's bite stack together, allowing the group to die if the boss is not burned down fast enough.

For death knight tanks casting AoD during the second phase helps control his own army

This is rediculous i am giving feed back on a relevant topic and i get down rated while supercream got +7 rating for saying something equally useless

Comentario de jefflovealex

With any other form of healer its a lot healer, specially if you are lacking multi heals at a fast rate, ie. a druid has wild growth and shamans have chain heal, if you have a priest healing you its hellish against the 3rd phase of the knight because everyone is dying so quickly. Its why after our first wipe we just popped all our cds and dpsed him down before the debuff got to heavy....its like led

Dave Maldonado: He’s the Black Knight! He never dies. The guy just keeps going.

Zarhym: So is he ever going to die? I mean, are we ever going to find out? Are we ever going to kill him and finally say "alright, he's just dead now"?

Dave Maldonado: Uhh...

Scott Mercer: You end up fighting him inside the 5-player dungeon.

Another setback :3

Comentario de Salutifer

Not to be a @#$%, but I recommend you use a browser that corrects spelling errors before you complain about being down-rated.

I do however agree with this tactic, if the tank stands still, they take massive damage from the Corpse Explosions.

Comentario de TheDrWhat

for this fight, our group tried 3 times, all wipes. we had a prot pally, holy pally, blood death knight, arms warrior, and an ele shammy.

now what happened was we got to the 3rd phase and the healer couldn't hold up the group due to AOE. so, on our 4th attempt the ele shammy switched spec to resto to raid heal while the pally healed the tank.

when we did that we downed him fast and without a casualty

Comentario de 235552

Shadowfrost damage is resisted with
your minimum( shadow resist, frost resist).

So You need to increase "both" shadow and frost resistance.

Comentario de Sekai

Marked for Death can be removed with a rogue's Cloak of Shadows. Presumably this means Paladins and Mages can remove it with their immunities, as well.

Comentario de ZoraLink

That's silly to say a priest has no AoE heals. Disc priests just throw around shields and spam flash heals (Or Holy Nova if the group is mainly melee). Holy priests have circle of healing and serendipity stacks. Both have prayer of mending.

At least be accurate. It's a fairly easy fight for both kinds of priests as long as they know what they're doing and pay attention to who is "Marked for Death."

And paladins just have their ridiculously fast Flash of Light and Beacon of Light. (Though it's still a hard fight for them. Probably the hardest class to heal with for this fight)

This is far from a fight favorable to "druids and shamans"

EDIT: Spelling.

Comentario de 124872

For phase 3 (as for any boss that does elemental AoE damage), a Lesser Flask of Resistance on each party member helps a lot more against Death's Bite than one might think (they're really not expensive these days).
Heck they will even help against the spells cast in the first boss fight (such as Poison Bottle).
And if you have two paladins, one of them should already have the Shadow Resistance Aura up during phases 1 and 2, and in phase 3 as the black knight starts hitting rather lightly, it's perfectly viable to switch out Devotion Aura for Frost Resistance Aura to mitigate his Death's Bites. Note that there is also the priest's Shadow Protection and the shaman's Frost Resistance Totem.
The amount of resists the whole group gets will help the healer tremendously. You might lose 5% or so of your DPS from not using your favorite flask or totem, but overall you will be able to do more damage when your healer can more or less keep you alive for 20% longer.

Comentario de jefflovealex

Prayer of healing, massive amount of mana gone on a single heal, which means less mana to heal the tank who is taking extra damage ontop of the spell he casts in ghost form.
My poinnt being if your not well geared this fight gets pretty hard from the point of view that people who aren't raid geared are going to try this on heroic and wipe a hefty amount.

Comentario de MaskedPotato

Small, but essential thing. You'll really want someone who can cleanse disease in your group, or the tank is gonna take a lot excess damage in phases 1 and 2. As a group with a DK tank, Hunter, Mage, and two Druids, this fight really sucked, and we couldn't finish it. ON the other hand, the hunter was only doing ~1k DPS and we couldn't do it even when BOTH druids healed, so maybe they just sucked.

Still, though. Main point: Diseases hurt, especially when he uses Obliterate. 6k every couple seconds, 10k or so Obliterate.

Comentario de Mairin

With the Death's Respite knockback in phase 1, I've seen undergeared groups nearly wipe or lose someone early because the healer got knocked away. One important factor with that spell is it's a knockBACK not a knockAWAY so a healer can do phase 1 with their back to the fight and if they get targeted they just get thrown through the tank/boss to land on the other side still in range.

(Same also applies for ranged dps if you wish to get back in range asap, it's a 2 second cast and you can see if you're being targeted for it so you know when to turn your back).

Comentario de 400690

i wouldnt recommend using classes simply for resistance. Although our group wiped many times on the 1st and 2nd bosses, we did this final fight so simply, with an average of 2.5k dps in the group. all dps were casters, (do not know if this will help in the fight) and we had a resto druid spamming me(the tank) as i just stayed in the same place, holding the boss's aggro. something that really helped tho was having the resto druid healer in the second and third phases. In the 2nd phase, i activated army of dead, then simply let the boss's ghouls atack our group after they died (but still avoiding explosions). resto druid can put one HoT on a player then move on to another, making them really good for this encounter.

Comentario de 443608

As a mage, you have time to Ice Block before the Marked For Death debuff is applied. Pop it as soon as you see the green mark appear over your head, then remove it as soon as the debuff fails. If done correctly, it should only interrupt casting for 3-4 seconds and will make it a lot easier on healers.

Comentario de 445145

A perfect illustration of Death Knight PvP.

Comentario de 320996

That is so wrong it's not even funny.

Not only do priests (especially holy priests) excel at heavy group healing (Prayer of Mending, Prayer of Healing, Divine Hymn, Circle of Healing, plus all associated talents), but they also have Prayer of Shadow Protection, which greatly reduces the damage in phase 3 (damage is shadow + frost).

Throw in a paladin with Frost Aura (or, as a second choice, a shaman using a Frost Totem), and this actually becomes quite easy to heal.

As a holy priest, the only slightly tricky part of heroic ToC is the very start, when the three champions are hitting the tank, since holy priests have relatively slow single-target heals (but nothing that a bit of haste - or, failing that, Guardian Spirit - won't fix).

For stage 3, simply fire a PoM at the tank right at the start, then spam PoH adding a CoH or a new PoM when they are not on CD (use your fiend if mana is an issue). If one party member is in trouble, put a GS on him / her. If multiple members are in trouble, hit your Divine Hymn.

P.S. - Just a small edit to say that today I was doing ToC heroic as mage and we had a druid healer. Right at the start I commented that we had no priest, paladin or shaman in the party, so phase 3 of the black knight was going to be tricky (Gift of the Wild gives some shadow and frost protection, but not nearly as much as Frost Resistance Aura and Prayer of Shadow Protection). The druid's comment was "you don't need any of that, you have me". He died exactly five seconds after phase 3 started (couldn't even keep himself alive). Luckily the DPS were good enough to get the boss down to 2% or so before dying, and the tank managed to stay alive (barely) while the DoT spells finished him off. Moral of the story: get some proper shadow and / or frost resistance for this fight and beware of any healer that tells you it won't make any difference.

Comentario de 231497

The Black Knight has an ability called Death's Respite in the Trial of the Champion 5 man dungeon during phase one of his fight.

One nifty trick I've found is if you have quick reactions, you can use an item or ability that removes all effects that cause you to lose control of your character to remove Death's Respite before it actually does anything to you, thus relieving pressure on your healer and saving you from taking some damage.

This ability only does damage AFTER the 2 seconds it is cast, so you have 2 seconds in which to remove the effect.

Also, this ability seems to have the opposite effect of a Death Knight's Death Grip throwing you away instead of pulling you towards him.

Comentario de KyorraWindblade

Zeratul was the Dark Templar Prelate. The Dark Templar are a "bit" more than just Zeratul...

I was referring to the fact that the voice acting for The Black Knight sounds like Zeratul's or the Dark Templar unit's voice acting in StarCraft - Brood Wars.

Comentario de 320996

Important note for mages:

Although the Black Knight's army (phase 2) is immune to Frost Nova in ToC normal, the ghouls can be frozen in ToC heroic. So a good way to deal with the army (for a fire / frostfire mage), would be this:

When the Black Knight summons his army, move to the tank.
Once the full army is summoned, move back a bit and use Dragon's Breath, followed by an instant Flamestrike (assuming you have the relevant talent).
Move back a bit and cast Blast Wave, again followed by an instant Flamestrike.
When they all come for you, cast Frost Nova, then blink away from them (or stay, if you have a good healer), pop Icy Veins and just cast a couple of Blizzards.

Using this method a single mage can pretty much dispose of the entire army.

Comentario de blendax

Just felt I need to add some info if you get in a low dps group. We got 1 dps over 2000 and the other around 1000. We wiped first phase a couple of times. After that our druid/cat dps suggested that he should heal instead and at the same time throw in some dps. After that we used 1 dps just over 2000 and 1 dps around 1200 something and 2 healers. We sailed through the whole instance. This makes me think that the healing is essential here and the dps is not. I´ve played in groups where we had an average dps over 2500 and had to quit because to many wipes. Why? The healer just could not stand it although we killed everything fast. Just an idea that worked for us.

When the elf in the middle of stage sed
"Is there something in da rafterz?"
Healer:Is this a Bird
Tank:Is this a Plane O.O
When he lands
DPs 1:Hiz Superman!:D
Dps 2:Hiz Batman!:D
Chokes the elf
Me:He is DARTH VADER!:D

Fairly easy fight if ur grp is not handicaped retards
He comes in.Nothing to worry about just spam Dps,If ur Dps is slow THEN THERE WILL BE PROBLEMZ.
Second Phase.AoE Ghouls...nothink to worry about again..if ur Dps is slow the healer will dai from overaggro trying to heal the poor tank.
Third Phase:NUKE.If Dps is slow then just disband the group and sleep on qq beds till reset :P.Or else the healer will dai first before he goes oom.The problem is not the DoT itself but the marked 4 death.After 6th stack the situation will get quickly out of hand...we speak about 30 seconds of despair.
Also Ball up it helps :P if a group don't manage to kill him before 8th or 9th stack they ar wiped that means we killed him at 4rth stack without BL or trinkets but wannabe blue groups that dream epix gear and somehow managed to survive this far just run....He is not 4 u:P

Comentario de 124872

Um... How ?
First of all, in PvP melees, players go for the healers first, only newbies let tanks taunt them. Not once does the Black Knight use Death Grip on that pesky player who keeps healing all the damage he does.
Furthermore, perfect illustrations of PvP fights are 1 vs 1; just because you can't kill a DK on your own doesn't mean it can't be done, just roll one and learn their weaknesses.
At any rate, even though player DKs can get a massive number of hit points and do insane amounts of damage, they still can't make their Army of the Dead ghouls explode, and I am not aware of them being able to spam Death's Bites either. Not to mention the respawning between phases thing.
Yes a good player will make a fight against a DK be nasty in PvP, and this fight can be nasty too. But is that really why people have been uprating this post ? Because it takes much more than that for something to be a 'perfect illustration' of something else.

Comentario de 124872

This is why magic resistance is far from useless: it basically acts as an extra healer.
If your gear is good enough, you won't need magic resistance, and you will be tempted to downrate posts that suggest using it because it would "gimp your stats". Don't !
The fact is magic resistance helps tremendously, and not just on the tanks, in events where players are just barely geared enough, or still learning boss phases.
When I tank the Black Knight in pickups, I go in with 200 Shadow Resistance and 200 Frost Resistance (while still being def capped, of course).
Plague Strikes and Icy Touches tickle, Desecrations keep my feet warm, and being bathed in a swarm of Explosions is a real joy. Along with the 25 to 75%, I also get full resists on the Death's Bites, which delays the stacking, and allows the healer to focus more on the other members of the party.
No wipes to report yet. Even during a try with a dps who wasn't even 2/3rds through Superior, and who kept dying shortly after coming back in the instance, so we were basically 2 dpses for that phase 3 (Heroic Mode). During that try, I decided to drink a Flask of Lesser Resistance, and got enough full resists in a row for the whole Death's Bite stack to dissipate once ^_^

Comentario de 365520

IT was a joke about how Dk's can spike their Hp by overpoweredly high amounts at a time on fairly short Cd's. so its almost like they dont die. And obviously since hes a Dk.

And he uses a move called "Shadowfrost" which was the name of the old spec for Dk's in pvp that was insanely OP.....just how his is :D lol

Comentario de 124872

Then he should've said "a perfect illustration of what DK PvP fights used to be". Still not true, 'cause players go for healers.
I'm sorry, but this did not sound like a joke to me, but as someone complaing about how overpowered DKs are, when you just need to learn how to fight them. Also gear matters a lot; the majority of DK players already have a lev 80 and know how to quickly get good gear. But occasionally you do stumble on a newly leveled DK who despite playing very well still can't beat you, and you can see that the class really isn't that overpowered after all, a lot of it is itemlevel difference.
And... DKs can spike their max hp on short CDs ? How ? You mean they can heal ? There are ways of countering heals... So once again, not a perfect illustration.
Claiming a PvE boss fight is a perfect illustration of PvP is the joke.

Comentario de 124872

First part was hella funny ^_^

But the second part is too arrogant

Comentario de 365520

Alls i have to say is you need a sence of humor, Yes it was a joke. And hes talking about 1v1 Pvp not 10vs10 WSG middle camping pvp. And yes Dk's can still do huge amounts of self healing in pvp.

What he was saying is that no matter how much dmg you do to them its almost like they just keep coming back....10%-Sac ghoul-rune tap. Back to 70% and such. Just how every time you drop the BK he comes back.

Yes Dk's are still Overpowered 1vs1 but since this game isnt balenced around 1vs1 it dosnt matter.

Lets compare an elemental shaman and a typical Frost,Blood- Unholy Dk. Shamans do insane burst dmg but to do that they HAVE to cast which can be silenced or stuned or the dk can simply run past you to stop it. they can do instant heals for huge amounts of health at a time. or can use anti magic shell to simple negate alot of incoming dmg since elemental shamans usualy try to 1shot burst people to death.

It is possible to be completly locked down by dk's if they use their cd's right. Mindfreeze-Ghoul stun-Blood elf silence-Strangle-Mindfreeze. Anti magic shell-Deathgrip to interupt the cast-Mindfreeze again.
This is why i detest dk's on any caster....dont get me started with melee classes. But this isnt a 1vs1 game so who cares. Take the joke laugh at it and stop being so sensitive about a game and trying to defend dk's

Please downrate me and the above poster :)

Dude, pay attention, I am not defending DKs, quite the opposite ! It's PvP I am trying to defend. Whether he was talking about 1v1 or 10v10 or whatever else it's the same, in PvP, players focus healers, not the tank. Anyway this fight is 5v1.
I do have a sense of humor... But only funny jokes make me laugh ;)
Seriously, DKs are far from being the only class that is a trouble for casters (and not even all of them). It doesn't mean they're OP, it's the rock/paper/scisors game balance thing, DKs have much more trouble against paladins who can spam cleanse, which affects both the DK's damage and healing. And, if you fight and EQUAL-GEARED DK, it won't be nearly as hard. Are you going to tell me you never completely owned an obviously undergeared DK in a BG ? You need to PvP more.
Downrate us if you think we're spamming :-j But don't downrate someone just because you're %^&*ed that he's proving you wrong.

Hm. It's PvE. So your comment about going for the healer is irrelevant. He was making a joke, one that actually made me crack a grin.
Oh, and his ghouls are untankable. They take random targets, then go off on the highest on global threat, read: the healer. So... in a way, he does target healers, though in a group with much sense you'd be quick to AoE down the ghouls.

Alls i have to say is i feel sorry for you people who have to pick everything apart and cannot simply laugh at good jokes.

After the encounter Tirion Fordring says: "Go now and rest; you've earned it." This is a referrence to Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, where after you win an arena match, you are told to go and rest and that you have earned it

Comentario de 124872

mrfrodo: Yes it's PvE, my comment about not going for the healer was intended to show how it's irrelevant to talk about PvP. Fine point about Claw, but the healer is not the only player ghouls will go for afterwards.

Valdo2345: Yes I get the joke, but just the same one could say Kargath was a perfect illustration of PvP against an overgeared warrior, or the Shade of Aran against an overgeared mage, etc. Yet I am not sure that will make people laugh as much.

The only reason this joke is "funny" at the moment is because of all the dedicated players having rolled this brand new DK class and who have already topped-up their gear, gems, enchants, etc. It won't seem as funny in a year or so when things have averaged themselves out (but I guess that's a property of jokes, gotta learn to enjoy them while you can :-j).

I can tell my post is going to be downrated to oblivion, since my brethren PvPers are probably more interested in comments on Wintergrasp or what not, so in an actual perfect illustration of PvP, as I'm being ganged upon by a bunch of PvEers, I will take my best shot at y'all before going down and repopping elsewhere for further adventures:
If you're downrating me because you think the joke is funny, it's most likely because you're used to having to gang up on a DK to kill him, and if that's the case, then you must be used to losing in PvP, and not just against DKs ;)

Comentario de 124872

Even as DPS in PUGs I go in with 220 Shadow and close to 200 Frost resistance. I can stay in the consecrations and sustain my DPS, and I have a screenshot of my character being Marked For Death, with the next 3 Death's Bites being fully resisted.
In a guild group or with players you know well you don't need magic resistance; but when you don't know whom you're partying with, a little protection goes a long way ;)

Comentario de 365520

Lol Dk's are new? they have been out for nearly a year now and are still pretty insane against most classes. and the reason people dont make the other jokes about those classes (mages,warriors) as you put it is because those fights are not hard at all and really dont show anything about the class they are playing.

I am glad someone made the joke for this fight simply because this guy is very hard to take down (Just like real geared Dk's) and he actual uses moves that really show his class off, like IT-PS-summon ghoul-AotD-obliterate-desecration-shadowfrost.

But i guess your just one of those people who cant admit when a class is OP against a large majority of others so when you hear others complain about a class your response is "Lolyousuckatpvp"

Just take the joke, laugh and go back to your pally or warlock

Comentario de Valgus

I found that as a paladin tank, dropping a divine protection with divine sacrifice on phase 3 really helps minimize group damage and lets the healer mostly just focus on you. Since doing this I found this phase has become much easier. The damage you take with divine protection up is pretty minimal and really helps the group stay alive to dps him down. This is on regular ToC. Not sure how it would work on heroic.

Comentario de 124872

My Twisting Nether card procced ^_^ Here's my last post on the subject.
Yes, compared to warriors and mages, DKs are still relatively new. You gonna argue with that ?

Ok so maybe there are some jokes I should learn to take in stride.
And I apologize for using the whole "yousuckatpvp" line.

But your argument just doesn't hold ground here. Aside from the fact that any boss will be easy if your party's gear is good enough (the Black Knight is no exception), most of the abilities used by warrior bosses or mage bosses or whatever show something about the class they represent. Just like the Black Knight. But just like them, the Black Knight uses abilities that players don't actually have. And just like them, the Black Knight does NOT use abilities that are nevertheless defining attributes of DKs, namely Death Grip and Anti-Magic Shell (and those you see in PvP). He doesn't even try to refresh IT-PS right away when cleansed.

Ultimately, the best way of seeing that DKs aren't all that overpowered is to roll one yourself. They start out OP because they are decked out in blues (with WotLK itemlevel budgets too). You'll rip most of the other players apart in BGs at lev 59.
But then, in the 60-69 bracket, and even more so in the 70-79, and when you finally hit 80, you'll see that you won't be ruling battlegrounds just by summoning an army of ghouls and spamming desecration-IT-PS-<your spec attack here>. Until you get high-end Arena gear, that is. And then you can make fights look like a fight against the Black Knight again. But that's only illustrative of a subset of DK PvP. And guess what, by the same process, any other class will be made to look overpowered.

So I get the joke, already. I'm just saying, as a PvPer, that it could use a tad bit of rewording.

Edit: Once DKs can leave their starting area and PvP, the quest rewards will have decked them out in RotLK budget blues, including the weapon.
DKs may have overpowered abilities, but they are not the only class that do, they can't get all of those abilities at the same time, and they are on CDs.
I win 50% of the time in 2v2 against a like-rated team that has a DK in it.
You can argue and downrate me all you want, it won't change the TRUTH.

Comentario de 365520

I did roll a dk and get him to 80, stoped playing him because he is boring as all heII, the starter dk gear is not Wotlk gear lvled, a few peices get replaced right as u hit outland quests in hellfire.

And dk's are overpowered, They are nearly impossible to kite with DG and Chains of ice, can keep healing themselves for Overall Hp 20%+ at a time, have a pet with a built in stun. can make themselves immune to stuns with their own version of "Barkskin".

can make themselves immune to all magic debuffs "HoW, earthbind totem snare" Etc for 6 seconds while also drasticly reducing the damage they take. They hit like a truck on crack. None of their moves are on swing timers. They are a melee class with powerful ranged attacks "gogo 3-4k deathcoil crits) Have a morepowerful version of Strength of earth buff that they dont have to give up another buff forit....infact it gives them more runic power for more special attacks.

Right now Deathknights are still gods in pvp, and because of this class 2v2 is worthless if your actualy wanting to get s7 gear

This fight looks like it would very much favor a lot of the unholy death knight abilities, now if only Anti Magic Zone did not require 3 points in a talent that you only want when you are a tank. The shield would definitely help for ghoul explosions.

Comentario de 320996

At any rate, it's hard to keep the ghouls packed in this specific case.

The ghouls don't wander around; they will go for the players. If everyone moves to the tank during summoning (see step #1 in the first message), all the ghouls will be in range for Dragon's Breath (and subsequent Flamestrike).

Claw (target switching) is irrelevant, since Dragon's Breath disorients them, and all four spells are cast in a quick sequence. Do it right and they won't have time to move very far.

Throw in Fan of Knives (rogue), Holy Nova (priest), Holy Wrath (paladin) or any other instant-cast, direct damage AoE, and the army will go down faster than Haris Pilton, but a single (well-geared, well-specced) mage can kill them all before they explode, using the sequence described in my post above (I have done it several times).

Edit - If you have more AoE in your group, you might want to save Icy Veins for stage 3, though (especially if your party doesn't have shadowfrost resistance).

Comentario de 320996

I've have healed this fight many times as a priest (can only cleanse disease on self), with no "backup cleanser" and I can't say I found it particularly hard to heal through.

On paper what you are saying makes perfect sense, but I guess when you factor in Prayer of Shadow Protection, (optionally) Frost Resistance Aura / Totem and the tank's avoidance abilities, removing the diseases becomes far less important.

Of course, if any group member can cleanse the diseases, by all means do so; it makes the healer's life easier. But a competent, fairly well-geared healer shouldn't have much trouble healing through, especially if there is some shadow and / or frost resistance in the group.

Comentario de 320996

Tip for Death Knights! When the Black Knight starts channeling his army of dead have EVERY death knight start channeling theirs as well....

What for? Your army will attack the Black Knight, it won't attack his army. And phase 2 is all about killing the army quickly and avoiding the explosions (after that it's easy).

Save your army (and, in fact, every damage cooldown) for phase 3, which is where you want the highest possible DPS on a single target.

Edit - Yes, do rate me down for pointing out that your suggestion is silly... sigh, some people should just be restricted to Thottbot...

Comentario de Nzall

every day i run this instance, and i have some hints to give. in general, it is really useful to have some shadow resist (entire party) and frost resist (tank only). an aura or totem is sufficient.

phase 1: if you have a ret paladin or priest (any spec) in the group, have them use repentance, shackle undead or (in dire need) turn evil on the pet. any other CC that also works on undead (but i can't think of any other). also, shamans should forget about mana spring totem and drop cleansing totem. i have found that this fight does not last long enough for mana spring totem to really be useful, while cleansing is almost trivializing this phase. if you can control the pet and minimize the disease damage (abolish diseases from a priest, maybe?), you have won this phase.

if you don't have a ret or priest in your group, your best bet is to let the tank taunt the pet as much as possible.

phase 2: this is where things start to get nasty. let everyone collapse to the center for the first few seconds. apart from that, there are a few things each tank can do to keep aggro on him at the start:

PALADIN: lay a consecration right at his feet, then when most of the pets are above, cast a holy wrath. the 2 second stun means your consecration will tick a bit further. also, if you have not done so already, make a macro that casts RD on a friendly mouseover target and HoR for a hostile mouseover target. use this macro EXCLUSIVELY for the healer (sorry, DPS). if you really want to, you can get the holy wrath glyph, but it is not needed.

DEATH KNIGHT: unholy has it a bit easier here due to wandering plague. what you want to do is first a death and decay right on top of the boss. then apply diseases to the boss. once diseases are applied, you can use pestilence to spread around the good word. after that, again only use your taunts for the healer.

WARRIOR: you need to wait a bit for most of the ghouls to appear, use that time to build some threat on the boss (save for thunder clap and shockwave). then thunder clap right in the middle. step a bit back, to the side, then shockwave. cast challenging shout. after that, spam demoralizing shout, using thunder clap and shockwave every cooldown. again, keep your taunts for the healer.

DRUID: you have the most problems with this boss. build some threat on the boss like the warrior does while all the ghouls are spawning. then cast challenging roar. then spam swipe and demoralizing roar. again, keep your taunts for the healer, as all the tanks do on this phase.

in any case, you have 2 choices for tanking this boss: you can either ignore all the ghouls and burst down the boss, staying grouped up in the center.. the boss has 250K HP (rounded), which means with 3 DPS at 3K each and a tank at 2K (11K DPS), you need around 23 seconds to burst down the boss. don't use cooldowns, save them all for the last phase. the other way requires you to pull the boss a bit away from the center of the room at the end of phase 1. then you kite him around the room. the advantage to this tactic is that, unlike the other one, you can see when a ghoul is about to explode and can stay clear from it. the disadvantage is that it is harder to do full DPS, and the ghouls will go more across the map. discuss which tactic you are using while waiting for the roleplaying to finish.

phase 3: why won't this a-hole die? anyway, all collapse to the boss. healers should spam their AOE heals. you need to pop all personal and groupwide DPS cooldowns. this includes trinkets, bloodlust (if you have a shaman) and racial/class spells. you should aim to burn down the boss in 10 stacks or less. if you reach 15 stacks, the healer will start to have trouble. if you reach 20 stacks, then you take double damage and people WILL die. use all the shadow resistance you can get. paladin tanks with the divine sacrifice talent should pop this at the 5th stack, along with divine protection. other paladins with the talent should pop divine shield along with it.

death knights can pop their army either in this phase or phase 2, but preferably in this phase. the ghouls will lighten the melee damage on the tank, allowing the healer to concentrate on raid healing.

this fight is the second hardest part of the instance, and if paletress is not there the hardest (apart from unlucky champion composition on the first fight.

enjoy the fight. leave a comment behind if you have any other tips.

Comentario de biogoo

Its not hard if you do few things:
1) Go HC only with equipped party. No, 174-200 blues wont work, epics from normal version will.
2) Top Priority: everyone must be topped at the end of phase 2!
3) Put Beacon on any DPS with the lowest maxHP and SS on yourself just before the phase 3 starts. Gains:
- the person who normally has the highest chance of dying wont die
- the 12 seconds of FoL HOT will heal you just fine while you are safe in the bubble
DONT WASTE BEACON ON THE TANK! (during phase 3)
Tanks have a lot of dmg reducing skills/passives, any conscious tank will use them right there. And they still have the most HP to soak the most dmg, theres no need to rush for healing them in this moment. Just heal the tank normally as the two non-beaconed DPSers.
4) Note that Shadow resistance aura alone does nothing here (during phase 3). The lower of frost/shadow resistance counts, so if you dont have a priest or other pally here, use Concentration aura to nullify pushback for faster healing.

Recommended: Some form of 51/17/0 build. Divine Sacrifice makes WONDERS here.

Recommended: Consumables bought with Vrykul Bones from the witch do work in the instance.
This helps you with
- running from the ghouls/desecration
- reducing damage taken
- mana recovery (this one is especially great, 2% max mana on every critted FoL/HL)

Optional: Position yourself in such a way that you can "heal the entrance". If anyone dies from the exploding ghouls (or in the begining of p3 due to not being topped), he can get back very quickly from the close gy. But he will need to be healed immediately, or will die in seconds.

PS: Its very possible to do it even if you let all the DPSers die. If this happens, be sure to put beacon on the tank now and do whatever you can to keep yourself alive. This requires a lot of mana, but can be done if you dont panic and dont overheal too much.

Comentario de 354963

I actually had to look up what a Rondel was:

A rondel dagger (pronounced /ˈrɒndəl/) or roundel dagger was a type of stiff-bladed dagger in Europe in the late Middle Ages (from the 14th century onwards), used by a variety of people from merchants to knights. It was worn at the waist and might be used as a utility tool, or worn into battle or a jousting tournament as a side-arm.

Comentario de TMWNN

It looks to me like a standard Charge-whoever-is-out-of-melee-range attack, which many trash enemies have. The classic solution is to simply stack on the tank, which here also helps with Phase two, too.

Druid healers, phase 3 is the perfect time to use your Tranquility bomb. I had no issues with pulling aggro even without Improved Tranquility (obviously your mileage may vary).

With only ~1700 spell power (iLevel 200 and five pieces of iLevel 219 gear, all purples except for my back and idol) I was having difficulty keep the group alive, and we wiped four or five times before I remembered I had this spell. When I used it, we had 10 seconds of full health on everyone in the group except for the tank (who went down to about 75% health). After I finished channeling I just threw Rejuvenation on the tank, Wild Growth on every cooldown, and spammed Nourish on the tank until The Black Knight died. The fight ended about 15-18 seconds after phase 3 started, with everyone above 90% health.

Not only do priests (especially holy priests) excel at heavy group healing (Prayer of Mending, Prayer of Healing, Divine Hymn, Circle of Healing, plus all associated talents), but they also have Prayer of Shadow Protection, which greatly reduces the damage in phase 3 (damage is shadow + frost).

Throw in a paladin with Frost Aura (or, as a second choice, a shaman using a Frost Totem), and this actually becomes quite easy to heal.

This is not quite right.

Dual damages (frostfire bolt, this frostshadow damage) always use the lowest resistance, so you need both or it will have no effect at all.

Comentario de HelsRike

A funny thing I just realized today is that some of the things the Black Knight says has to be a reference to the Monty Python-film The Holy Grail.

In one scene they get ambushed by the Black Knight, and they cut one his arms off, and he just says "I don't need that, it's just a scratch", or something like that, and they continue by cutting his other arm off, and he just keeps going until he's lost both his legs, and then ending up trying to bite them to death. Just like when the Black Knight here says "That flesh was just getting in my way", and "I don't need bones to beat you" (sorry if some of the quotes are incorrect, they might not be true to 100% but it's along those lines).

Anyway, I like these kinds of things, the scene in the film is about 13 minutes in, the film is called Monty Python and the Holy Grail, check IMDB here for more information about the movie (it's really a classic and should be seen at least once, in my opinion).

Should have read a few comments instead of just doing a CTRL+Find for "Monty" and "Python", this has obviously been pointed out before. Nonetheless, I feel clever for learning this on my own after like five times of doing the boss with sound :)

I wouldn't want to get on this guy's bad side, or he'll bite my legs off.

Hearthstone: The Black Knight

Comentario de Neutralis

He uses the sword Armagedón which comes from the 25 man Four Horseman chest.

Comentario de MatiSali23

He could be a masked Lord Garithos, wielding a sword instead of his insignia axe :P and raised as an undead after his fall

He was called "Black Knight" during The Frozen Throne human campaign, as hero name (see link here: http://www.wowwiki.com/Othmar_Garithos --> character class)

It's a supposition! :)

PD: sorry for my English! I'm learning!

Comentario de Shirubia

Seems to be bugged in normal, where he only drops loot for the first kill of the day. Other bosses still drop loot even if it's not the first kill of the day.

Will make farming the Spectral Kris much harder D:
