Seems as if the old deadmines is getting an overhaul as well? or is Ripsnarl a Heroic Deadmines only boss? im only guessing because it says lvl 16

Drops Smite's Reaver... wonder if this guy will improvise.

Kommentar von Oakenshadow

The ship's second mate?

Kommentar von Balthus93

This is one of the easiest boss of the instance. He must be nuked to 75 %, 50 % and 25 % fast enough so that his stacking haste buff won't kill the tank. Mist phases are simple add nuking. They pose no threat unless completely ignored.

Kommentar von Pokeit

His thirst for blood caps at 20 stacks.

Kommentar von neohobeo

Ripsnarl, if you move the letters around you get aprilsnar wich in danish means aprilsfool. coicidence :>?

I'm sure every single NPC name in the game can be shuffled to mean something in some language, so yes, a coincidence.

Dutch people like to believe anyone other then Dutch people care about their language.

How to beat this fight on heroic mode:
Setup:
Protection paladin (me)
Holy paladin
Hunter
Fury warrior
Shadow priest

First of all, we managed to reset this boss when he was on 30%. We belive it might've been because he got too close to the oposite edge of where he stands. So dont be near that.

This is a simple tank and spank fight. He will do some various abilities but basically just tank and spank him untill he spawns mist. When he does, he will spawn alot of adds. Kill them. The boss will come back during the mist while adds keep spawning. Tank and spank it all.
Always dps the adds first.

Good luck!

Why is this guy listed as a level 16 elite? My 35 Hunter is no match for him. He kills me in the fog as my pet attack his weak pets. He is very strong. Not worth doing solo, for the time and efford, the reward is not worth it.

Kommentar von doozer667

This guy can seem ridiculously difficult if you use the wrong strategy or have a healer that still spam heals like it's WOTLK.

Rule #1: Make sure your healer is only healing when necessary because when the boss reaches 25% he's gonna start tearing things up.

Strategy:
Save major dps cooldowns for 25%.

Drag him into the captain's cabin, facing him toward the back wall. Everyone else needs to stand near the doorway so as to avoid the bosses cleave.

Tank and spank to 75%. He will then vanish. During this period of time adds will spawn, and everyone needs to kill them while they still can. Once Ripsnarl comes back there will still be adds spawning and they won't stop spawning. At this point in time have one dps assigned to killing the adds before they explode and wipe the group. The other DPS need to do relatively decent damage on Ripsnarl so that he vanishes before reaching 20 stacks on his ridiculous speed buff.

Continue this until 25%. Once he returns the healer is really going to have to step up his game. Pop major dps cooldowns and finish him but make sure that the man assigned to adds continues to do his job.

Good luck.

Had a very fun time figuring this strategy out with two DoT classes with me...

Heroic Strategy

Tank him somewhere in the middle or with your back against the wall. It is very important that everyone who is not the tank (healer included, you're not special) is stacked behind him. This is so the tank is able to reach the vapors when they spawn. Bring him down to 75% and throw all DoTs on him before he vanishes.

Stay stacked at all times and just burn every vapor that comes in before they are allowed to double in health. Once he reappears, the tank pulls him out and you keep focusing on vapors that respawn. Turn you nameplates on so you can switch over immediately. The longer you take, the harder it gets and every second counts.

At 25%, keep killing adds until he reappears. Bloodlust then nuke him down.

I don't know what everyone here is talking about. We just did this. DK tank, Druid heals, rogue, ele shaman, warlock. wiped 5 times. he vanished at around 80% and summoned the elemental adds, each of which have over 100k health. we start nuking them down and about 20 seconds later the boss re-appears and the tank picks him back up, at which point the dps is still trying to Focus fire down elemental adds at an increasing rate. DPS was never able to get back on main boss and elementals eventually swarm the deck and AOE for about 50-60k.

everyone in our group is in about 333 level gear. I averaged about 7k dps and the other two around 6k. I fail to see with that level of gear how this fight is possible. you just can't burn the elementals fast enough to get back on the boss before he rapes the tank.

Kommentar von 383873

today i found out you can stay in the back of the ship and in the add phase adds wont come, so you can just sit and wait, heal up, and then the boss comes again

I COMPLETELY agree........... this comment shouldn't be down rated. Every group I've been in has experienced the same thing.

We gave up........ *Goes to pop 2 Tylenol* Now I have a stress headache :P

Kommentar von allanbc

First of all, 6k dps isn't really impressive. You should study your classes and return when you do 8k+ at the very least. Secondly, the vapors don't have 100k hp when they spawn, more like 56k iirc. Just target them fast and nuke them, don't worry about tanking them, they die very fast.

When the boss gets low, he will start to spawn them a lot faster, at which point you have to dps him and kill him before any of them blow you up.

That's about all there is to it, with a good group it's not problematic really, as long as you kill vapors fast.

Strategy to Heroic

Normly rush boss doesnt works good so always focus on adds, nuke them asap
Coalesce is not able to interrupt, so you must stun them to stop the AE
is necessary if any pally in your grp

Kommentar von Nystedt

You do realize Aprilsnar has two A's, while Ripsnarl only has one? If you are going to post something stupid, at least check twice before posting it.

Kommentar von megafierce

Just tried this on my prot paladin in Heroic: Our strategy was to burn the adds before they became dangerous at all times, having the boss as the second priority. It was working, but at the second wipe I noticed the boss had a buff stacked to 20, looked it up, but then almost immediately afterwards, had to leave.

My advice would be to have maybe 1 or 2 DPS on the adds at all times while the other 1 or 2 burn the boss. 400% increased attack speed is insane and very hard to survive. You've got a fair few seconds during the mist to DPS down the adds; just make sure you stun large ones and have the tank and maybe healer contribute to the add DPS while Ripsnarl is vanished.

Kommentar von Shageki

When he hits 25%, cleaning up all of the existing adds before focusing on Ripsnarl is advisable, as it's around 10% or so that the add spawns become completely unmanageable.

Kommentar von Chamenas

It seems he disappears again for a bit at 50%? You're still in the mist though, but it gives time to catchup on adds and let his buff fall off.

Kommentar von kimpan13

Another tactic for this boss is to kite ripsnarl around the house, ignoring the adds completely, just burn down the boss as fast as possible.

you can get out of los from the aoe, so keep an eye out for big adds and just run around the corner of the house.

Require abit of organization though, but be sure to try it with a guild run, goes way smoother and more fun (+ achiev) :)

This guy is easily the hardest boss in this dungeon.

We found that we were getting overwhelmed by adds with 2 dot-based DPS classes, one left in exchange for a bursty class, which helped but then when they all focused on adds, the boss didn't vanish quick enough and the 20-stacked buff tore the tank to shreds.

Took a few more goes but with 2 burst DPS on the adds, and the other DPS on the boss we eventually got it down.

Having lust for that last 10% is huge, we got him to 1% a couple of times and we're destroyed by the adds exploding.

Kommentar von 536062

Took him down with dps doing about 9k dps on average.

Obviously burn down the adds as soon as possible. Here is how the tank can help (I'm a warrior).

With dps doing that much the fight still lasts over 3 minutes which means you can use most of your defensive CD's at least twice, which will help the healer's mana.

I popped enraged regeneration almost immediately into the fight. Shield wall as soon as that went down.

When he disappears into the vapors, bandage yourself. You'll have a short window to use almost a whole bandage.

Devastate the vapors and hope that a victory rush procs off that.

Be sure to use potions as often as possible.

With this, you'll really help out your healer and have a better chance making it through this fight.

Kommentar von ashx1

He appears to have been ninja-nerfed sometime this week. He's much easier now, a PUG I was just in one-shot him.

Edit: Why am I being downvoted? Anyone who's done the fight knows it's been nerfed.

Kommentar von Lindentree

Vapors can be cc'd by at least some effects.

Stuns and fears were effective at interrupting Coalesce casts.

Kommentar von 656028

Best strategy in my opinion is on 25% pop hero and all dps cds and completely ignore the adds , just a hard focused burn on the boss.

Why?

On 25% he does not stop sumoning adds and they spawn alot faster so even if you have a dedicated dpser to kill the adds you are going to get wayyy overwhelmed by them , you can be sure of it so the best way indeed is to focus on the boss and ignore the adds , the tank should also spam aoe to keep the grown adds from attacking the healer.

Also if you are a warrior or paladin tank , once adds get big and start casting coalesce you can shockwave and stun them, or holywrath.Elemental shamans and balance druids can also use their knockbacks to send them away and interrupt their cast buying time for the group to finish off ripsnarl.

Also know that ripsnarl buff is apllied whenever he hits his target so if you use all your avoidance cds /trinkets you can make the stacks fall off if stars align and thus saving your healer a big chuck of mana and you from heart attacks , because he literally starts to rape you when he reaches 20stacks

Kommentar von Voidmire

As it stands, i dont see this fight being doable (with the natural exception to outstanding groups) in your standard "ready to do heroics" gear. This might be the only fight in the new heroics i believe should be nerfed. Could probably just remove the knockback on coalesce and it'd still be tough but doable

Kommentar von otwnraiders

You need two people with AoE to get the adds and extra DpS on adds, and when he vanishes, let the tank help with adds, have main tank on him, it works easy, not sure why people find it hard.

I would hypothesize that this boss is a reference to Pirates of the Caribbean. Aside from all of the pirate activity in a cave (already conspicuously similar), his name before his curse, as shown in one of Vanessa's nightmare sequences, is James Harrington. A very notable character in the film trilogy is James Norrington, who eventually achieved the rank of admiral himself!

Kommentar von 483462

Note that his corpse will sometimes bug out and prevent you from looting it. We could loot it, however, when we'd returned to the ship after going through the nightmare. No clue why.

Kommentar von 797262

Major tip for Assassination Rogues on this boss concerning the Vapors:

- Use Shiv to apply your Deadly Poison and a Combo Point
- Immediately apply your Rupture with that single Combo Point
- Auto Attack the add down (unless the DPS on them is really low)
- Profit from the Venomous Wounds Energy proc and have full (or close to) Energy bar

Hope this helps other Rogues out there, as this has ended up being extremely useful for me.

Believe it or not, in a quest chain, the non-heroic version of Ripsnarl was revealed to be Mr. Smite, who had fallen under the worgen curse.

Kommentar von Thortok2000

Had a problem with him resetting today in normal difficulty. Most of the dps had heirlooms, so dps was about 4 times normal. The vapors died so fast that the encounter reset because there was nothing to be in combat with (during the parts where he vanishes). If you have this problem, simply don't kill the vapors when he's vanished.

Kommentar von OftiguS

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the reference to The Butcher from Diablo 1 ''Ah.. Fresh meat!''

Kommentar von 811385

dps boss using cleave,chain lightning, fire nova with flame shock on boss and switch to them right before they blow up with higher gear items and how bad they nerfed it now you should be able to kill them just cleaving boss

that being said if your dps tank or healer sucks safe to just dps them right away and fight a little longer

I got all through the dungeon solo lvl 27 Human Monk - but getting wiped out by the Admiral - any ideas?

Kommentar von Mystterious

Does he still drop the "Red winter hat" in december 2012 (25/12/12), patch 5.1: Landfall?

Thank you for reply,

Myst.

And also, merry Xmas 2012 everyone!

Kommentar von MABGamer6407

Any one kinda disappointed he does't drop a Admiral Hat? Or even wears one? He does have one once released from his bonds at the end of the Westfall Quest line.

Kommentar von wowelderscrolls

"You will... not find her... until it is too late..."

He says this in heroic too... somehow I don't think that lady who came out of the cabin is actually Vanessa, but someone she disguised as herself. Maybe a female veteran of the Northrend war who joined the Defias Brotherhood?

It seems like in Legion they are going to go back to a lot of unresolved Cataclysm storylines, since Genn Greymane and Sylvanas are major characters.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Defias are still around, and they have an encampment somewhere on the Broken Isles. Even if Vanessa really did die, they wouldn't just disband overnight like that, they would have someone else would fill in the gap she left.

Dieser NPC befindet sich in Die Todesminen .

Die TodesminenGlubtokHelix RitzelbrecherFeindschnitter 5000Admiral Knurrreißer"Kapitän" KrümelVanessa van CleefAdmiral KnurrreißerDie TodesminenHeroische Strategie

Knurrreißer ist ein einfacher aber fordernder Kampf. Jeder erfolgreiche Angriff stärkt den Boss mit Durst nach Blut, was bis zu 20-mal durch seinen Durst nach Blut stapelt.

Der Admiral wird öfter auch zufälligen Spielern (wie Sturmangriff), und sie zwei Sekunden lange betäubtn. Außerdem nutzt er , daher sollten die Gruppenmitglieder nicht zu nahe am Tank stehen, aber trotzdem nahe bei einander bleiben.

Bei 75%, 50%, und 25% verbleibender Gesundheit verschwindet Knurrreißer für kurze Zeit. Beim ersten Mal erscheint dichter Nebel und Dampf formt sich zuerst langsam und dann schneller daraus. Eure Gruppe muss diese schnell zerstören, oder sie werden größer und verursachen mehr Schaden. Sie transformieren in Kondensierte Dämpfe, wenn genug zusammenkommen. Sie wirken Vereinigen, was hohen Frostschaden verursacht und Spieler zurückstößt.

Sobald Knurrreißer sehr geringe Gesundheit übrig hat, beschwört er andauernd Dämpfe. Ignoriert diese, und tötet ihn schnell.
