Found in the Forbidden Jungle in Karasang Wilds, North-West corner of the zone near the pathway to Valley of the Four Winds.

His Tornado (Harsh Winds in the combat log) and his Blade Flurry hits all do 35% of your maximum health, and will kill you within a second if you're stood in either.

Highly annoying to fight as non-pet class, as you'll need to avoid his Blade Flurry (Frontal Cone), Harsh Winds as well as dodge any respawns that appear during the kill.

One of the harder rares I've found on the beta.

A real sonuva&*!@# to fight as melee, but I found the challenge pretty enjoyable.

I came across this guy on my 88 rogue and after a little bit of trial and error, decided to clear out a large area and kite him in something resembling a circle. As long as you're watching his cast bar for Blade Flurry (and subsequently get behind him ASAP when you see it) and keep moving to avoid tornadoes, you should be okay.

Kommentar von Schadenfreude

This guy is not easy.

Clear a small area around him; you can take him into Valley of the Four Winds easily but if you die it's a long run. Blow up your target cast bar large because when he casts Blade Flurry, you MUST ~~get behind him~~ strafe to the left or right instantly. When he casts Tornado, get out of the area and don't get hit by the swirling tornado. He will occasionally cast Windsong and freak you out, but this is just a buff. Keep your eyes on his cast bar; just press your buttons and be cool, do not look away. Blade Flurry will kill you in about 1.5 seconds at 87.

Dropped a blue cloth headpiece for me, which really meant the six deaths before that were worth it. (eye twitches)

This mob is quite difficult to defeat at the allotted level (86), however it is possible. I downed this mob with an 86 Balance Druid, though it took a few attempts.

::Step 1::
Clear the area around the mob, to allow movement to avoid the spells; Tornado, and Klingenwirbel.

::Step 2::
Dot the mob, this is helpful for projecting damage while avoiding his spell attacks.

::Step 3::
When the mob casts Tornado, run around him so you are behind the mob. (He doesn't turn while channeling this spell, allowing you to avoid it easily.) Attack the mob while, and after he channels this spell. Keep on the target until Step 4.

::Step 4::
Now is where the area you cleared comes into play. When the mob casts Tornado, run backwards out of the circular range of the Spell, and continue your rotation.

::Step 5::
Since the spell Windweise will not affect you in any way, keep on the offensive while he casts it. From here, continue with the steps, until he is down.

Hope this helps.

Was a piece of cake for me (87 Unholy DK).
Popped , Gargoyle beschwören, and Armee der Toten; he was down before I could blink.

Edit: Y U DOWNVOTE? (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

I came upon this guy while questing. I believe I was level 88, or at least was about to ding it. I didn't engage him right away; I went back to the Sentinel Basecamp to see if there was anyone I could ask for assistance. I found a human priest from Silvermoon and together we attempted to take Torik-Ethis down.

Blade Flurry hits HARD. (I didn't know until on the second attempt it can be avoided). I fell first, then the priest. We returned to our bodies shortly thereafter.

Then things took a turn in epic; I had a draenei shaman and another human priest - both from the same server as me - invite the priest and I in a group. The shaman outright said he and his friend were here to help me slay the rare spawn.

After that, we made quick work of Torik-Ethis. I didn't pay too much attention to the fight to be honest, except he dropped and one of the helms - I think it was and as a tank I was happy to Need on the legs.

The only advice I can give is to steer clear of Blade Flurry, so that means no stacking on the tank unless you want a guaranteed wipe.

Key thing is kite, kite, kite. Move behind when he casts Blades( while active, he doesn't turn around, or chase until this ability expires ), and kite out of the circular pattern of the tornado when he casts that. Clear area to kite, and you can solo this. I'm melee, and worked great solo.

Kommentar von Hallwacker

This guy was fun as hell to fight, when I first engaged him as melee i just stood there and hit him, and suddenly I'm down to 10k hp without understanding anything. I tried to run and heal, but got hit by his tornado and died. Then when i come back I see a warrior killing him, i was pretty disappointed... However, this warrior underestimated him as much as me and got his &*!@ slapped. Killed him the second try, dropped epic leggings and rare cloth head.

Kommentar von Sharkon

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

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

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

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

Found him at 15.4, 35.4 - The Forbidden Jungle, Krasarang Wilds.

Kommentar von xaratherus

I died five times before I got this guy down as a feral Druid. This mob would probably be far easier to take on as a ranged class, as kiting is really the key to taking him down.

You want to avoid the tornadoes that he spawns periodically as they do a massive amount of damage each tick, so when he starts casting, start looking around for a clear place to run to well away from the roaming whirlwinds (if you can, I found kiting him north into the Valley of the Four Winds is safest, so you can avoid the other Mantid mobs roaming around).

And when you see him start casting Blade Flurry, do not be in front of him! A single tick of this attack dealt 60k+ damage to me. You can technically move behind him and continue attacking, but I tried that twice and in both cases because of positioning glitches it counted me as being in front of him and I died.

As a feral Druid, I'd make sure I had Faerie Swarm on him, then would dash in, Rake him twice, Mangle him to slow his movement speed, then Rip him to get a dot on him; by the time I did this he was usually about to cast either Tornado or Blade Flurry, so I would then back off, pop Healing Touch with Predatory Swiftness (if it had procced) and let my DoTs continue to damage him. As soon as I was clear of his damage, I would repeat, save that if Rip was still up I would cast Ferocious Bite instead. Repeat until dead.

Just soloed this guy 10 minutes ago as a blood DK... first time I engaged him I died because of blade of fury, didn't think a rare will have such a devastating attack... anyway I rushed back to my corpse and downed him in like 5 minutes, made sure I went to his back when he was about to use blade of fury & dodged all the tornadoes by kiting him around, and he dropped the epic tanking pants :D they are going straight to the AH :D

Kommentar von xxRevolver

Hunters seemed to get lucky here. Took him down with no problems at level 87.
Like many of the other rares, this guy was a very easy kill- as long as your pet keeps aggro and you stay out of melee range, none of his special attacks will even come close to you.
Just keep mend pet up at all times, and watch out for other wandering enemies, CCing or misdirecting them to your pet as necessary.

Kommentar von Jonae

NPC Scan went off as I flew over, on my way to check on another rare spawn.

I hate the mantids. However, being a Monk Brewmaster, I was able to stand in his blade flurry and live (wasn't paying attention ><). Watch out for the tornados and the flurry. I try to disarm him when he pops his windsong ability.

He dropped the epic BoE pants for me.

Kommentar von rsanders69

He is located around 15/35 and walks back and forth in a path. There are other mobs around. Kill them. His Blade Fury and Tornados will kill you. You must kite away from them. Ret Pally Level 88, solo'd but took 2 tries. He's the toughest rare I've encountered so far with expansion.

Kommentar von 1045767

Damn hard the first time, but you learn pretty fast. Stay away from the tornadoes, which aint very hard, but the hard part is to not get hit by blade fury. Don´t run behind her directly, strafe to the left or right, that way you can ensure that you won´t get hit.
Fun to kill, not that hard, going on ha retri pala lvl 88

Kommentar von Waky

Soloed him as a level 87 Frost Mage. He only hit me twice, but my mirror images took one hell of a beating. Had to use every CD (twice with Cold Snap) but it was worth it.

He hits very hard on clothies...

Kommentar von sforzie

If you are having trouble clearing the area, and are Alliance, wait until he pats near the "Shattered Convoy" Alliance camp and kite him there. Extra mobs won't spawn in the area, and you can safely kite him around without having to worry about more mantid joining the fray. (The Alliance npcs there won't help you fight, though.)

Kommentar von jahf

L88 enhancement shaman ... I got stubborn and got him to 10% after a few tries but lost. Went back one more time and a 90 helper came by. So I can't say I soloed but the key was definitely watching for his casting. At the 200K HP level his tornado and blade flurry are both going to 3-shot you (and they both hit very quickly, so unless you dodge quick after the first hit just assume you're dying).

Doable, but a hassle. Unfortunately got the plate helm ... so ... vendor trash.

Kommentar von Allyce

The other posters are correct, avoid the tornadoes and side step the blade fury. I chose to get behind him when he did it. On other suggestion, make sure you clear the surrounding areas, I had to fight him a few times, because I'd pull adds as I was kiting him around away from the tornadoes.

Killed him as an 87 Ret Pally. Dropped the Deepwild Hunting Helm....no help :(

Kommentar von gratscot

Pretty simple as a level 88 hunter, my pet tanked like a champ and hardly needed any healing. Worth noting that the BOE epic pants will drop aswell as a BOP blue item. So if you get the pants you also get another blue item.

Kommentar von Shoadowolf

WARNING!
ALL ATTACKS/SPELLS USED BY THIS RARE AND ALL OTHER MANTID RARES HIT HARD ON MEELEE CLASSES (Death Knights, Warriors, Paladins, Druids (in tank/dps spec), Rouges, and Monks) AND PLATE WEARERS, SO BE CAREFUL!
If your class is NOT meelee (Hunter, Mage, Shaman, Warlock, Priest) and if you have a pet with you (Death Knights have Armee der Toten and Totenerweckung, Hunters can use any pet, Warlocks have Leerwandler beschwören/Leerenfürst, Mages have Wasserelementar beschwören, Shamans can use and/or Priests can probably use Schattengeist)) use your pet to tank throughout the fight.

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

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

Kommentar von Lycan2a

Very tough fight for melee, Especially rogues and warriors.

88 fury warrior and almost got 2 shot by it. Hate to think what it would do to cloth.

Kommentar von Aenonar

Make sure you have plenty of room to avoid the tornadoes and the fight will be really easy. I failed 3 times against the one in four winds as a fury warrior even with a healer because I didn't clear enough space and eventually got trapped by the tornadoes which did about 30-40% dps, which you really don't want to get stuck in...

Kommentar von spartusnecro

Popped on me today on my 88 Hunter, dropped the Torik-Ethis' blutbespritzte Beinschützer & Tiefwildjagdhelm.

Kommentar von 1206059

Easily soloed as ilvl450 bm hunter with spirit beast. Avoided tornados and didn't even need to mend pet once, extremely easy as long as you don't get hit by the tornados.
Dropped Tidehunter Helm and Small Bag of Goods (12g, 3 motes of harmony, 15 windwool cloth, and a golden lotus)
Easy kill, stupid drops.

My tauren paladin lvl 95 was butchered like a swine ... I saw the casting bar of a special move and think "bah... I'm tired of interrupt specials" ...and booom, blood spilling uncontrolled. Killed it only in the 3rd trial - facepalm...
