Pugged this the other day with mostly randoms from trade and about five skilled friends. I was the add tank. We incentivized people to come by doing it as a GDKP, and also advertising we'd be doing this and the Faction Champions achievement, so we got some fresh 80s (some of whom had already done the achievement on other characters), some geared but inexperienced players wanting gold, some experienced players wanting the achievement, and some random morons who didn't stay very long.

I put on NR gear - Wildguard Helm and Wildguard Legplates, 232 and 245 Onyxia rings, Lesser Flask of Resistance, and had a pocket hunter to give me Aspect of the Wild. The raid sat there and I taunted the adds to me and occasionally threw out a Consecrate or Holy Wrath. My pocket healer, a holy pally, put up Righteous Fury during the add phase, so she would get aggro on the adds before the other healers and I could Righteous Defense off her, then used Hand of Salvation on herself between burrow phases.

It takes four submerge phases to get enough scarabs. We then AoE'd them down. They have only about 110k health so it didn't take long at all. Very easy.

We did this tonight with 7 people (two healers and one tank) in 25man mode. It only took two submerges before we had enough scarabs for the achievement. They must have upped the scarab spawn rate.

I just soloed this as a Protection Paladin and it was fairly trivial. Here's how:

Make sure you glyph Focused Shield and Focused Wrath so you can control where your damage goes.

You need 2 or 3 submerges to spawn enough scarabs (depending on luck, amount of scarabs seems to vary a bit... I had 19 after 2 submerges one time, 24 another time.) Most likely you'll have to wait for the third. Make sure you don't bring the boss below 30% health, as that will bring him to the last phase.

Get a frost patch down (Judgement or Avenger's Shield an orb flying in the air) and tank the boss and the large adds that spawn on the frost patch. You will get 2 sets of 2 of these adds per up phase (so 4 total), and they need to preferably die before the burrow phase. You can easily focus them down one by one.

During the burrow phase, don't touch any of the small scarabs that spawn until you have 25+ (most likely during the third burrow phase). They only have around 100k health each so you have to be careful not to kill them. They all eventually get enraged, but still don't hit very hard. You can pretty much ignore the damage they do.

For the second and third up phases, make sure you keep hitting either the boss or the large adds (who should be killed) so that you get your Seal of Insight proccing and have something to use Shield of the Righteous on. Wait for the burrow phase, rinse and repeat until you have enough scarabs!

You don't have to kill the boss to earn the achievement.

For the achievement Hopocalypse Now one user posted this really useful macro that can be used to count the mobs. The way this works is to count the visible nameplates. So, if there are spiders up (or the boss) they will also be counted. Also, the kiting aspect of this achievement means that not all of the mob nameplates might be visible, so you should attempt to clump them up a bit to ensure more accurate counting.

/run local count = 0 for i = 0, 10000, 1 do if _G ~= nil and _G:IsVisible() then count = count + 1 end end print(count)

I was not able to solo it as 569 SV hunter. As you have to allow him to submerge 3 times - the damage was too high to survive.

Made it duo with another hunter. One of the pets tanked it the whole time (no need for heals), while we did our best to kite the adds until the third submerge. Then it is really easy to take 25 down.

One hint - take your legendary cloak off, as the aoe effect kills scarabs, which you do not want to happen.

Kommentar von sezz

Soloed as BM hunter (582):

Use Einlullender Schuss on the enraged scarabs or you can't kite/stun them
Kill the 2 big adds
Use Impromptu if you're having troubles kiting
Unequip the legendary cape

I had problems surviving the 2nd burrow until i started to disenrage the scarabs and kill the big adds.

I also tried the achievement at level 100 in the beta using my brewmaster monk - the incoming damage is so low, you can afk until enough scarabs are spawned...

Kommentar von forestsage

I don't suppose there is any macro that would target only the Nerubian Burrower. I need something that will get me to target only those mobs constantly. I'm having trouble killing them fast enough without hurting any of the Swarm Scarabs. That armor buff still kills at high levels so I'm pretty screwed without the macro.

It needs to not break it's target after I get hit by other mobs.
Needs to not target Scarabs when no Burrower is present.
I need use it with two spells. As a DK I can't spam one spell.

Kommentar von Volleynova

As Hunter I kite the adds around and tranq shot those that enraged. I let the boss submerge 3 times before aoeing and easily getting the achievement. Feigned death, left the 25-man instance, rinse & repeat in 10 player mode. Done. It sure is nice to get these done after 5+ years.

Kommentar von twixxi

I suppose some people didn't do this during WotLK, so just a few tips.

- In p2 when Anub'arak is submerged, it will follow you. Just let it catch you and stand still till it comes back up. It will get you the most Scarabs.
- Don't mind the debuff the Scarabs give you, it's not gonna kill you, as level 100 the ticks miss.
- Don't get Anub'arak to 35%, it will enter p3 and not submerge again.
- Don't mind enraged adds.

Basically, just stand still, tank the boss, wait for adds (you'll need two submerges for enough adds) and aoe them down.

Kommentar von Teevo

Just a heads up, as a minimal geared (620ish ilev) shadow priest I needed to kill the large adds otherwise I got my butt kicked. I also had to throw heals on myself throughout the fight. So squishy clothy guidelines still apply despite being lev 100... but still pretty easy.

Everyone else's recent comments are dead-on. I waited through 3 submerges just to be safe, fyi.

Kommentar von Syncness

677 Hunter.

Pet out on passive, Spirit Bond for healing.

Used macro:
/run local count = 0 for i = 0, 10000, 1 do if _G ~= nil and _G:IsVisible() then count = count + 1 end end print(count)

Waited two submerges, got me 26 + boss = 27. Popped trinket and Barrage, got achievement instantly.

Add damage wasn't an issue, though I killed the spiders anyway. The boss does a static 30% health dot in the last phase though, so it needs to die fast.

Kommentar von SiliconX

Done as a vastly overgeared Retribution Paladin. I obviously don't need to instruct how to do it, but I'll just add a few observations I found:

1. Don't worry at all about Acid-Drenched Mandibles. This stacking debuff will stack up very fast and caps at 40. At 40, the tooltip will say it deals 32000 or so damage every 3 seconds but with the old content buff it does next to nothing. It ticked on me for 980 damage every 3 seconds so you can ignore it.

2. /target Nerubian Burrower. Make that macro and use it. Acid-Drenched Mandibles might do no damage but the stacking Expose Weakness debuff from these adds can start to really hurt you.

3. Hit ESC->Interface->Combat and make sure "Stop Auto Attack" is checked. That way when you're macroing to target the Burrowers you won't start wiping out scarabs after they die.

4. Wait three burrows. Most will say 2 is enough but for the minimal time and effort investment to get to 3 burrows, its better to make sure in my opinion.

You don't need to kill Anub'Arak to get this achievement so that's a bonus (it'll grant immediately). If you wipe out the scarabs after letting them spawn for awhile and don't get it, wipe and try again.

Happy Hunting!

Kommentar von Treushka

I confirm 2 submerges are enough to spawn enough scarabs for achievement. I was standing still and took the spikes, although I killed the big adds, that was necessary for me, warlock, as I'm bit more squishy in my cloth armor.

Kommentar von Ashirin

Just soloed with a shadowpriest level 100!

I couldn't do it on 90 because the damage would just be too high to counterheal.
On 100 it is easy.

I pulled Anub hit him under 70% (not required but its what I did...)
He will summon 2x 2 spiders which you can/should kill right away. There is no reason to keep them around
Wait for him to submerge and then kill the spiders that spawn but keep the scarabs!
Rinse and repeat this 3 times! On every submerge 12 scarabs will spawn - so for 25 total you need 3 submerges and you may kill 11 of them if you need to

I took very litlle damage from the debuff, the boss and the spikes during submerge. it never got me below 95% of my life. But then again a shadow can shield himself so you might need some healing on other classes. Remember that you can kill 3 scarabs and you can kill all the spiders that spawn. So there is something to leech life on from time to time.

Kill some of the ice balls floating above you that will slow the annoying adds a bit and mostly slow the spike during the submerge phase. Because they produce a lot of noice.

TL:DR:
pull boss, kill all spiders, wait for 3 submerges (12 scarabs on each), kill scarabs -> win. (kill boss optional)

Kommentar von Palisis

Make sure any passive damage talents or abilities are off. e.g. If you're a prot paladin, make sure you're Holy Shield talent is not active. It will kill the mobs almost immediately and the boss will go down as well saving you to the instance for the week.

Also, to count the "Swarm Scarab" ONLY, use this macro:

/run local t,c,p="Swarm Scarab",0 for i=1,10000 do p=_G if p and p:IsVisible() then c=c+(select(2,p:GetChildren()):GetRegions():GetText()==t and 1 or 0) end end print(t,":",c)

Kommentar von Bradwr

The scarabs summons are based on time intervals, not the phases. As long as you keep Anub above 35% he won't go into phase 3 and every minute or two he'll submerge and the scarabs will appear. Just get him to 50-60% and you'll get all the scarabs you need in 2-3 cycles.

There are a couple macros listed here. I used the one from Palisis and it worked like a charm. I also made a 2nd macro below. I used it to keep the Burrowers killed but it is probably optional.

/Target Nerubian Burrower

From Palisis' comment:

/run local t,c,p="Swarm Scarab",0 for i=1,10000 do p=_G if p and p:IsVisible() then c=c+(select(2,p:GetChildren()):GetRegions():GetText()==t and 1 or 0) end end print(t,":",c)

Don't forget to upvote his macro comment.

Kommentar von Grixxis

easily soloed as warlock. Demon Skin talent outpaces the damage you take so it's just a matter of patience. Killed the big adds as more of a precaution but probably wasn't needed. Couldn't get the script to work for me, so i counted them as they came up. About 10 or 12 each time he goes underground and killed them all during the 3rd cycle to get the achievement.

If doing this as affliction with your artifact talent, be careful killing the big adds. I kept my pet on passive and sent them after the adds to keep them from blowing up the scarabs i was collecting.

Kommentar von Hemingray

As a level 110 ret paladin this achievement is finally a joke.

1. Aggro the boss and stand there. Do not attack him.
2. Go make a sandwich.
3. Come back, run the macro to make sure there are 25+ scarabs present.
4. AoE everything down.
5. Profit.

Seriously, I had 40+ stacks of Acid-Drenched Mandibles and never dipped below 90% health.

Kommentar von Bruski

In 8.0 this is pretty simple, don't be like me and fail for two weeks because you make it too complicated

1. Engage boss gently (might want to unequip weapon).
2. point away from boss (to avoid autoattacks) and AFK until enrage.
3. AOE.

Kommentar von PleaTheFlea

BfA 120 SOLO STRATEGY - ANY CLASS

Stand there. Do not dps the boss. AT ALL.

You can kill off the Burrowers if you're bored. But you don't need to.

Wait until the boss submerges twice. Anub attracts about 19 scarabs per submersion, so you need to do two submersions.

To be completely safe, let him finish both submersions completely before you kill the scarabs.

Yay, new achieve for you.

Kommentar von Incandio

I would be a little bit cautious about AFKing for too long. I came back just in time for his 3rd submerge and when he resurfaced he enraged and all of sudden I was at 2% health. This is +400 ilevel.

Kommentar von mrpoolman

I pulled the boss and watched youtube for like 30 minutes. I came back and burned everything while anub was submerged, then I killed him.

Kommentar von Skeltch

People are complicating this too much...

Guide written in BFA 8.3

1- Walk over the boss to aggro it.
2- Make sure you are not attacking and be afk for 7min. (1min10sec for each submerge and 1min10sec to emerge)
3- AOE the Scarabs after he emerges for the 3th time
4- You dont even need to kill the boss.

Kommentar von Gingerbald

To be on the safe side, when you're ready to aoe the scarabs down, do it while the boss is submerged. If you aoe the boss and scarabs all together in one fell swoop, you risk the boss's death being technically counted by the system before that of the 25 scarabs, and this will mess up the achievement.

So just afk until you're sure you have enough scarabs out, then the next time the boss submerges, aoe the scarabs and that's that.

Kommentar von ShadowBrooks

Macro to check how many scarabs are up, was reading the threads here and if the right amount spawn between first and second submerge no need to wait till third.

/run local t,c="Swarm Scarab",0 for i=1,10000 do local p=C_NamePlate.GetNamePlateForUnit("nameplate"..i) if p and p:IsVisible() and p:GetChildren():GetRegions():GetText()==t then c=c+1 end end print(t,":",c)

Looks like the macro has issues counting name plates with the burrowers up, so might have to kill those if you want to use this efficiently.

Kommentar von Totergott

Instance Achievement Tracker addon is your friend here - it'll tell you when you have 25 or more. It will update you as Scarabs spawn.
