It seems phasing determines whether you can see this guy or not, because I was unable to locate him after doing a full flyover of the zone just minutes after Cataclysm went live, whereas I was able to spot Tarvus the Vile, Sambas, Overlord Sunderfury, and Karoma (The four other rares in the zone that I'm aware of).

Pretty straight forward fight and he droped the Dagger for us too.

Awesome video of a guild downing him here, Julak-Doom vs Kungaloosh Anonymous
Enjoy, and Good Luck if you try him :)

Killed this guy with a PUG yesterday. We had roughly 10 man around.

Tactics:

Move out of the eye beam that follows someone around (is not up permanently, but hurts)
Move out of the ~~fire~~ clouds.
Don't stand in front of him, he has 'Massive Shockwave', which will one shot anyone but the tank (hit me for 125k). When he casts this, the tank should move away from him as well, he remains stationary when casting this.
MOST IMPORTANT: Kill the MCed people! Or well, damage them till 90% of their HP, then they will go back to normal.

To take into account:

We had another raid group trying to grief us by taunting the boss all the time, so he resets. Please make sure you prepare for this by having one of the DPS prepare to taunt him when this happens (tank's Taunt only can be used that much). He doesn't hit hard (25k on Resto Druid in Bear Form), so the DPS can take a few hits if the tank's Taunt is off cooldown.

We took about 20 minutes to finish him off. People will die if you do it with 10 man, just run back, mana up and continue the battle.

Our raid composition:
1 DK Tank
1 Resto Shaman
1 Resto Druid
7-9 random DPS (some more people joined in halfway)

Good luck! He's not that hard but will take some dedication to down.

Downed today on Boulderfist with a 25 man PUG. Pretty easy fight as above posts said. Just ran back upon death. Main tank died at about 40% and an off tank picked it up. Took two tries after most of the first group dropped from the first wipe.

Merry Christmas!

Took a 10man raid to down his 30 million HP. Prior to kill a few hours ago, his dagger was unlinkable via wowhead on US-Feathermoon Server, so I'm guessing our kill was first one on server.

Confirmed that he dropped the Beak of Julak-Doom caster dagger after a 9 min fight. I was lucky enough to win the roll. Didn't actually notice it was BoE until I attempted to equip(was an upgrade for me actually). Rather nice but for the effort it took to get, it should have been epic quality.

The entire series of fights(between two raid groups) lasted probably an hour due to other raid griefing/taunting Julak-Doom far enough away to reset him. The fight itself is rather straight forward as long as the tank keeps him facing away from rest of the group.

Avoid shadow patches on ground (they do damage further than their graphics suggest and can spread towards you) and make sure to damage the 2 MC'd targets ASAP to 90% of their HP so they regain their senses.(Note this MC can hit targets other than the ones fighting him, including any nearby players who are observing the fight. Also DoT'ing the targets is to be avoided as the DoTs continue to tick away on your raid/group members even after they've been restored).

The shadow beam is fairly easy to deal with although it does sometimes target flying targets nearby that aren't involved in the fight.

Good luck,

we did it with 30 people, was tough because alliance kept MCing or cycloning our tank, and ganking healers. all he drops is the caster dagger from what i hear. (he dropped it for us too) really easy, just move from his laser beam and the ^&*! on the ground. also the shockwave is massive. just run back if you die. easy boss..

Commento di 745423

btw....you cannot spell-interrupt his aoe ...the correct name of it is Massive Shockandawe. There were 24 of us being griefed by a small Horde contingent when we attempted this psychic Squidbilly cousin. Needless to say....neither faction won...both sides eventually gave up.

just downed him at christmas night with guildies and friends...haha was a fun experience :) but sadly I as a caster lost roll on the dagger =P
well we learned some raiding awareness from this thats fosho!

Have fun you guys ;]

25th of December, guild leader found him on his alt while on the herb grind, and I decided to call out a small 15man on him to see if some of our core members are ready for early raid content yet. Took a few tries, but we got him. People were relaxed because they were away from the raiding atmosphere for a while, so we wiped due to shockwave multiple times. After reconditioning ourselves, we got him. On top of that, I got the dagger. :)

Commento di 288474

I lead a raid group earlier this morning that fought this guy. The boss has a bit over 30.5 million health. We had about 15-20 people in the raid (mostly because we kept pugging people in from the guild). We had him tanked by 2 people (just in case one died) up against a mountainside at first, but then moving him as necessary to avoid damage. There are 4 main abilities to work around in this fight-

He leaves black pools on the ground that do about 6k-7k damage every second when stood in. Don't stand in them. These continually grow and eventually disappear after 15-20 seconds.
He has eyebeams that will follow one person (Kologarn style) that deal around 4k-5k damage per tick, which may be fine for healers to heal through (we had around 6 healers pugged in, so it was no real problem), but if you have a small group you may want to kite the beams until they disappear.
He will mind control one or two random raid members. There is no special augmentation other than that they grow really large. These people can be crowd controlled, but the easier thing to do is just hit them lightly, as the mind control will fall off if the person drops below 90% health.
He uses a cone shockwave attack on everyone in front of him about every 20 to 30 seconds. It hits for over 100k damage, so only the tanks should be hit if anyone, as this attack is dangerous and more-than-likely to be deadly to anyone else. This attack is rather confusing, as our tanks were able to dodge this attack about 2/3 of the time by stepping out of the cone. However, the other third of the time, the boss would suddenly change direction at the end of the cast and damage the current tank regardless of where he was standing. We couldn't tell if the direction change was a bug or was the actual intended effect of the attack. Healers should make sure that when he is casting the tank(s) is topped off and if they are hit, then quickly toss heals their way.

It took 8 or so tries to get the mechanics (and the boss) down. On the last attempt, the boss went down in about 8 or 9 minutes. We continually lost people throughout every attempt, but the graveyard is close enough that you can (and should) run back to your corpse if you die.

Throughout the fight we had to remind people to watch where they were walking and standing due to the number of black patches on the ground. In the end, the boss dropped the same dagger, which went to a goblin warlock. The task at hand of killing the boss seemed far too hard for such a weak reward to some (fighting a raid-level boss for heroic-level loot), which of course made some angry. In summary, the boss, although fun and quite exciting, may not really be worth the hassle-

There is no rare kill achievement in Cataclysm.
The loot isn't really worth as much time as the boss takes to kill, and is also a lower tier than what the boss might be considered on.
The boss does require a lot of time to kill, due to possible wipes, raid griefing, and people may just end up getting frustrated and leaving, forcing you to grab more people or just disband.

However, if you do manage to find this boss, I'd say go for it, it makes for a good experience. Good luck!

Spawned at about 1:20 st on Scarlet Crusade. Followed him around a bit and watched people get eaten by him.

I agree with everyone else, burning around 30mil HP for a single danger and some XP doesn't seem worth it.

Commento di Aknazer

At 50k raid dps it will take you 10 minutes to kill him. But don't expect to do your max possible dps. In a raid I average 12k+, but only did about 9.8k on this guy cuz of all the moving and MCing.

Also when people get MCed if you just dps them to 90% or lower it will break the MC. This is far more effective than CCing them for the duration since the MC lasts for like 25 seconds, and it takes 2-5 to drop them to sub 90%.

A guildie who tanked the boss won this dagger (everyone needed since it was a pug), and he gave it to me since it was an upgrade and I was the highest dps on the fight. Now to make people angst that an enh shaman has this (and yes caster MH weapons are currently BiS for enh shaman).

EDIT: This weapon is now useless for an enh shaman since we can't get +SP from gear anymore as of patch 4.3. Though when I got this item it was only patch 4.0 so I got plenty of use out of the dagger and don't regret getting it.

Our guild downed him on the third attempt with 10 people. The first two attempts he evaded; he's on a fairly short leash, so wait until he pats into one of the more open areas instead of trying to drag him there.

For Massive Shockwave, we even had the tanks move out of the way. This worked much better than having the healers try to heal through it.

As someone else noted before, but it can't be restated enough: Stay out - and away - from the Black Breath on the ground! It does damage as much as 10 yards outside the graphic you see on the screen. He will cast this right under himself, too, so tanks will have to move him occasionally. Just be careful not to move him too far.

Unfortunately my poor mage didn't win the roll for this dagger. I agree this guy needs more loot; this was disappointing. For that matter, he needs better loot; this is comparable to caster weapons in several heroics, as well as the Elementium Spellblade.

Commento di StaticLgtBrngr

One dagger for such a difficult encounter?

I'm hoping he gives some nice guild experience or something along those lines if you beat it with a guild group otherwise there is no point in doing it.

Can anyone tell me if this does indeed do anything nice for guild groups?

Our guild Shiny-Perenolde and WDinc got together to kill him. It is a fun fight. Follow the instructions above and make aure you have a backup tank. He reset on our group 3 times.

Commento di Eachon

Simply not worth killing for a 346 blue dagger. We tricked the guild that he drops epix. :)

Commento di StaticLgtBrngr

Is that thing on his head always sat at the beginning of his spawn point or is this a bug of some kind?

My guess is the latter.

Commento di 768774

A handy thing to note: while a group of us were taking down Julak-Doom, the sky turned red (i.e. Deathwing was torching Twilight Highlands). Fortunately, it seems that area around the Maw of Madness is safe from dragon attacks, as we just saw him pass by in the distance, and were able to continue killing the elite. Although I bet most of them would rather have gotten an achievement for being immolated rather than have the raid leader switch it to ML and give the dagger to a friend of his.

Commento di reidsb

Just a heads up, from someone who just tanked him.

If you kite him too far, he evades. I recommend engaging in a clearing and kiting him around in a circle. Let your dps know so they can stay behind him.

Commento di 338236

There's definitely a graphic issue with his AoE ground effect. It seems to slip under the terrain (especially when it's on an incline).

Also, when I was MC'd once, he made me... get this, survey. There wasn't even an active digsite on my map.

Commento di DoomedDomain

This is of the 5 rare-elite mobs added in cataclysm, with one in each new zone as follows:

Garr - Everyone's favourite Molten Core boss, relocated to Mount Hyjal. Now with 99% less rage over the drops, guaranteed!
Mobus <The Crushing Tide> - A huge whale shark in the Abyssal Depths of Vashj'ir. Probably wants to eat you.
Xariona - A twilight dragon roaming the center of Deepholm. Sadly, it doesn't sparkle.
Akma'hat <Dirge of the Eternal Sands> - A Tol'vir style colossus located in Uldum. Still no eye lasers... everything's better with eye lasers.
Julak-Doom <The Eye of Zor> - A flesh giant, its mind taken over by a Merciless One, found wandering Twilight Highlands. You could chew through its 30 million hp, but a cork stopper would probably do the trick too.

Commento di Wiggishanks

Killed on Maelstrom this morning with a raid of 12 people. He was pretty easy, as long as people stayed out of the gimmicks. Took about 15 minutes, but we accidentally reset him at about 50% because we were trying to drag him a little closer to the graveyard. Don't take him further than the trees there in the field where he patrols around!

Commento di 791743

I found him today and downed him with a half pug half guld trown together group 2 tanks 3 heals and tons of dps i think we had a total of 21 ppl found im at 59,6 and he pats from there to

Has anyone tried kiting him into the nearby alliance village?

Commento di Grimdrome

4 heals 1 tank downed on khadgar.
Tank faced him aways everyone avoided the ink and laser beam.
He CAN NOT be kited he has a range where he resets so watch out for that.
Some dps should focus on any MC person since they only need to be taken down to 90% hp.
Drops only the dagger.
If you die run back it's like a 5 second run
That is was done with a full pug half of the 25 people werent even lvl 85.

Commento di 244600

Led a raid upon this guy a few mins ago.
Not terribly hard, we did it with ~10 dps, 2 tanks and 3 healers (all level 85, mostly in raid gear). A single tank and two healers should suffice with a good group though. With all people assembled we took him in a single attempt, although healers did ran out of mana.

Commento di 261185

In response to an earlier comment about phasing, I believe it is related to the "Consumed by Nightmare" questline. Right before I handed in Nightmare, as I was getting the gryphon ride out of Iso'rath, my npcscan went off. I mounted up and looked in his spawn area, but couldn't find him. I went back, turned in Nightmare and was immediately able to spot him when I flew back over.

Commento di 316093

5-manned, 4 of us were in (half)epic. DK tank, resto druid healer, retri, rogue and lock. It was hard, it took long (31 million hp), and it was a lot of fun to do. Move out of %^&*, dps mind controlled people (sometimes had 2 MC up?), dps him, loot after 15-20 minutes of combat, profit!

Commento di Lartoon

Our Guild: Terror Bytes, Horde on Zul'Jin led a Guild/Pug Raid group. We found him in Twilight Highlands. He one shotted us twice until we looked up some of his key abilities. Mainly tank him away from the group. Group dont stand in Purple stuff which spreads, CC the MC'd Dudes, and Kill him. Anyone in front of him will take massive AOE dmg so only tank stand in front of him. Had about 25 ppl but downed him. Dagger was 346 but Very nice for someone not in an epic.

Super Fun, no Title other than posting that you were able to down him. Took about 4 or 5 mins with this many ppl.

Commento di 696978

Found this guy in the middle of the night. Tried to do it with the guys that were on in my guild, about seven. Not going to happen! Make sure you bring more. We only had two healers. We managed to get him to about 50%, but it just wasn't enough. =-) The mechanics were as described here already. It's a fairly difficult fight; a lot going on. I'd say at least 10-12 people is a good bet for this one, and make sure you have four healers or so.

New blue ptr post:

Quests & Creatures

Loot from the creatures Garr, Julak-Doom, Mobus, and Poseidus has been adjusted to be commensurate to their rarity and invested effort.

Will be interesting to see what they drop once the patch goes out, I'm betting they will drop several blues instead of just the one.

Commento di Muspel

When my guild fought this guy, we had to have our tank spam taunt until diminishing returns made him go taunt-immune, since another guild kept trying to have their paladin drag the boss off so he would reset and they could get the kill.

If you have competition for the kill, it's worth considering.

Commento di 590544

We took this guy down a week or so ago. We started with 7 or 8 guildies and picked up passers by who wanted to join in and ended up with a total of 17. It's not worth the fight if you want the drop, but it's a fun time. We recorded it and published the video here:

Commento di Charca

Relinquish the Loot of Feathermoon-US 5 manned him at about 3am server time this morning. 1 tank, 2 dps, 2 healers, average ilvl 360ish and 3 attempts. First attempt we spent getting used to kiting him around the terrain while avoiding the bad stuff and the second attempt he evade bugged at 400k hp left. When both our dps were MCed we'd focus fire one down to 90% and then go after the other. Really not a hard fight once you get used to the timing along with the terrain. Make sure no one pulls aggro so he doesn't shockwave in the wrong direction. Shockwave comes shortly after the MCs, be careful about breaking out the MCed people so they're not in the shockwave when it hits. We ended up killing him at his farthest west patrol point as that area is rather squarish and open unlike the rest of the area, it made kiting him much easier.

On a side note, we also had Deathwing torch the highlands while we were killing Julak, however it seems he doesn't burn the area where Julak patrols.

I was questing on my alliance shaman in Twilight recently when he popped. A horde guild had him tagged, but I joined in anyway. Got killed. By the time I got back from the graveyard, several of my guildies had also joined the fight. It took about 20 mins all up. Wow, what a tough one. The so-called loot didn't matter to any of us; the out-of-raid challenge was fantastic.
PS The hordies thanked us for the help afterwards... :)

Commento di 820462

we just 2-manned this boss, me on my enhancement shaman, and a guildie on his protection paladin (we both got an average i-lvl of around 365, so semi-raid hc geared).

we several tries with a trio, me as resto, and an added hunter, but that actually only complicated things, with the hunter and myself getting mc'd at once, and the hunter being at range aswell etc...

once we understood the fight, I went in my mainspec, enhancement, and we engaged. the hunter turned out to be AFK while we started, and that was actually our ticket to success!

we kept avoiding all attacks, using word of glory and 5x maelstrom weapon for greater healing waves on the tank, no heals on me (the mc heals you back to 100% anyway) and with that, we took him down in about 33 minutes of pure awesomeness :)

Killed him with 9 people but doesn't really matter... He dropped 2 BOE epics caster's dagger Pugnale Vitreo di Julak (improved version of Pugnale di Julak) and tanking back... Does he meant to drop 2 epics or we were just lucky? curios.

Killed him today with about 30 random people from Trade chat. He had about 12 million health. Took us a couple tries because people were being really dumb.

Just killed him in a guild group with 13 people, he seems like a 10 man boss that could be done with less, since we had a lot of people dieing by small messups that could have been avoided by both the tanks and their movement.

Anyway this is irrelevant now since the loot has changed.

Commento di 238448

Downed this 6/11/2011 with a group of 5 raid geared people, so it's definitely doable with that size. I, the tank, just kited him in basically a circle, picking an area to agro him that was generally flat, so we could see black patches easily. Everyone just stay out of black patches, non-MCed dps hit the MC(s), and tank just has to sidestep his shockwave, just like Ozruk in Stonecore.

Dropped the dagger, boe epic gloves, and one of the nice bracer enchant recipes. So I would guess he's guaranteed to drop the dagger, but also has a high chance to also drop other rare world boes.

Commento di Duccis

It appears that this rare elite has been nerfed recently as it has about 12.88 million HP.

Today (25th June 2011) we were able to 4 man it with 1 DK tank, 1 paladin healer, and 2 hunters. I'm not a well-geared tank and got 143k HP unbuffed so this is all about how well you move around to avoid getting one-shot.

The easiest way to tank him is to tank him around like a square, where you only move to next "corner" of the square whenever there is a black pool (Respiro Nero) been cast beneath you.

The easiest way to avoid his Onda d'Urto Massiccia is to look at his shadow and stand in the back of that shadow till the cast is over. I had Shadow Quality on Low to see the the shadow as a circle. The reason for this is because it seems that running through him cause him to turn around and hit the people standing in front of him. We wiped countless times due to this thus found out this was the best way to avoid that massive damage.

The two hunters were really quick getting people with Sussurri Oscuri out staying range from each other. Whenever two hunters got MCed, I as DK tank, used Death Grip and got one of them free. To avoid hurting healers the most while MC is to waste your cooldowns on your Silence Shot, Counterspell etc so during the MC those spells won't be used.

We did try to 3 man this, but having 2 members MCed, it kinda got a bit kinky. So 4 members should be enough. It took us 10 minutes and 59 seconds to be exact.

Pugnale Vitreo di Julak, Kilt dei Sogni Troll, Modello: Corniola Sfolgorante, and about 175g dropped for us.

With this nerf, first come, first serve. ;) Good luck!

Commento di Ozrek

Pugged him with about 12 people. One healer and 3 tanks (lol). We didn't end up needing the other two tanks but it was nice to have insurance. The initial pulls were sloppy and people didn't kite him out of his clouds.

Afterwords, we just led him down a path and kept moving him everytime he would lay a pool down. Finished him off in about 4-5 minutes.

Its important that you DONT CC the mind controlled. Break it with 1-2 blasts from a DPS. He liked to target our healer a lot, but that didn't matter too much. You will know that they are MC'ed when you see them about 1/2 the size of the boss (HUGE!).

Commento di Faell

He now has around 12.8 Million HP, not the 30-some million he previously had.

I suggest a minimum of five people as he will MC two players at once. We tried it with four and did okay until he MC'd both of our DPS at the same time.

As already stated, the range of Black Breath puddles on the ground are much larger than the graphic would imply.

As with all five of the new world bosses, if you take him too far away from the spot where you pulled him he will evade back to 100% HP.

We found stacking on the tank to be best, and have him instantly break mc once it hit - but keep in mind that you need to move swiftly from the shockwave.
Took a few wipes to learn that, but overall a very simple fight, spent ~8mins on him.

Took a few deaths but the spirit walk (flight now) is not too long.
Dropped the dagger, cloth hands, a JC design and we each had 26g.

Just put together a 15 man team with my guildies and some Pugs on US Server The Scryers. 3 Tanks 3 Heals and 9 DPS.

Used the formula for fight listed above, enaged him, turned him away from the group and brought him down in about 6 minutes.

First attempt failed miserably, we didn't do any research just tried to tank and spank and got SPANKED. The breath ability is nasty and the shockwave did us in.

Once we knew the angle to use though he went down without any trouble, lost one tank (lvl 84) and a couple DPS but finished him off without any real trouble.

Dropped the dagger, the cloak and a rare enchant.

Commento di 511950

Just did it with 5. 1 tank (me) 2 healer, 2 dps.

Drops were Dorian's Lost Necklace, and inscribed hessonite pattern.

(and obviously the dagger)

Commento di 483462

If you have your choice of DPS, choose ranged over melee for this guy. As melee, I think I did more damage to my raid members than to the boss. Couldn't get to him through all the Black Breath for at least half the fight.

Killed today in a well-geared five-person group without too much difficulty. Paladin Tank, Druid Heals, two Hunters and a Rogue. Average iLevel in the low 380s. Fight lasted around three minutes.

Avoid the eyebeams, they are easy to recognize and move slow.

Tank the boss facing away from the rest of the group. When he casts Massive Shockwave, the easiest tactic is for the tank simply to run straight through the boss to a position just behind him. Wait for the Shockwave to hit, and then run back into place. Nobody should get hit by Massive Shockwave, as it is a frontal attack.

Black clouds will pop up occasionally, simply maneuver to a safe position. But be careful: if the boss is kited too far from his walking path, he will reset. We learned this the hard way when we got him to 9% before he ran back to the original point of engagement, resetting to 100% health. We essentially had to kill him twice.

When players are mind controlled, simply damage them below 90% and the MC will break. It may be helpful to CC the MC'ed player while somebody knocks them back to their senses. In our five-person group, two players were MC'ed at a time. The tank never got MC'ed.

Overall, the mechanics are quite simple and he doesn't hit excessively hard on a well-geared tank. He dropped a blue jewelcrafting pattern and two i359 BOE epics (ring, dagger).

Just killed him with about 11 people he was pretty hard

Commento di Vexent

We tried him last night supposedly he is only up once every 2 weeks or 2 times in a month.he crits for over 100k and u must stack up.

Commento di BloodWren

2 manned him this evening. Feral (Bear) Druid and a Holy Paladin in DS normal gear and equiv.

Spend ages kiting him in a circle (we had to put a mark on the floor 'cause he seems to reset easily), avoiding the Respiro Nero on the floor and running through him to avoid Onda d'Urto Massiccia. The Holy Paladin stayed over 60 yards away to avoid being MCed (Sussurri Oscuri) (and then Martello della Giustizia me *Shakes fist* (Although I equipped my PvP trinket for when he had to run in an heal me up to full)), occasionally and healing himself due to Beacon being on me. It took 19 minutes and 45 seconds, with me averaging 11.2k dps.

He dropped Pugnale Vitreo di Julak, Tomo del Cuor Sincero and Modello: Diamante Spirito Tenebroso Ardente. (Edit - and about 230 gold)

Over the whole fight I took 3564747 damage as a stamina stacking bear with 35.77% dodge without trinket procs. I dealt 13237526 damage, 28321 of it to my personal Paladin when he was MCed. :)

So all in all, yes this is 2 man-able now, probably soloable as a Blood DK (maaaayybe a Prot Paladin). Don't recommend it for a hunter to try (prove me wrong! :D).

*Tips hat* Inju and Xm - Kilrogg EU (PvE)

Commento di Tsukuyomi45

4 Man'd this earlier with just me a rogue paladin tank and a hunter (I'm a Disc Priest).
It took about 5 wipes before we got the mechanics down as we'd never seen him before. Black Breath works much like the Lich King's defile doing 7-8k damage a second. Dark Whispers is an MC that hits 2 people and puts them at full health, last's 30 seconds or until knocked down to 90% health. The Eye beams lock on one player and follow them doing moderate damage. Massive Shockwave is a frontal cone that does around 100l+ damage to everyone it hits. This is capable of abuse to kill raid griefers trying to distract you. (This is particularly useful on pvp servers)

A little added fun here as we were griefed by a horde group. They would come stand around us and distract us. They ended up being MC'd which was amusing, gave us an excuse to nuke them. Several dozen times we killed 1 (sometimes several) by pointing the shockwave at them (their fault for not going away)

Commento di IMissThottbot

!@#$ this guy tbh.

I just tried to do him on my feral tank. He would be easily soloable--probably is, in fact--except for three things:

1. The AoE on the ground is flat, whereas the ground is sloped, and thus most of it is not visible, so you have to run very far in a random direction to avoid it and
2. He leashes VERY easily.
3. In the one flat area where you could potentially see the Black Breath, there is a stag which will aggro as soon as you use your AoE tank stuff, and which stuns. I learned the hard way that these deer are DEADLY--one stunned me as a shockwave hit, meaning I got hit for 99k and died.

For a mob that patrols, the fact that he keeps resetting as soon as you pull him 30 yards, even down his path, seems very crap. The AoE is buggy as all hell and is simply invisible due to the heavily-sloped region around him, making him really not worth the hassle.

Commento di 945032

Just soloed him with my ilvl 387 Blood DK. It took me 18 minutes and 58 seconds to down him. It's not a hard fight, Anti-Magic Shell absorbs Black Breath and it's best to use it when Massive Shockwave is incoming and there are patches of Black Breath behind him. He dropped Pugnale Vitreo di Julak, Cappuccio Scintillante di Je'Tze, Modello: Diamante Spirito Tenebroso Riverberante and 238 gold.

Commento di 854073

just done this today on kilrogg EU.
we had a 7 man group being 1 tank 1 healer 3 ranged dps 2 melee,
tough fight and took us three tries but we got it done.
some pointers:

- when you pull more than 100 yards from his initial taunt point he will reset and you have to do it all over again. so just walk him in circles.
- Shockwave, happens very often and hits very hard, dps stay behind him at all times.
as for the tank, -simple- as soon as his cast begins walk towards him so you end up behind him.
When his shockwave is over turn his back to the raid again.
- This ground aoe thing he does is very annoying too but easily avoidable as you walk around in circles, if the dps stays under the boss then theres little problem and the aoe should be easily avoidable.
- the mind control he does is annoying, but as tank just taunt whoever is mc'd and smack him/her like it's your mother-in-law hehe.

Though dont let this fool you, it sure as hell was not an easy fight.
The fight took us about 20 minutes.
Anyway hope this helps a little.

Commento di 948946

killed him about an hour ago with guildies and pugs from org ... even though his hp has dropped by over half he is still tough fight and im not sureif anyone has mentioned this but it seemed for us every time he got more than 75 feet from where we started the encounter he would run back and gain full health .. we managed to over come this by waiting until he was in the clearing with a large tree and we pulled him when he was closest to the tree and we just kited and attacked him in a circular action around the tree several deaths during the attempt but as previously menioned if you die always release to graveyad and fly back in if you do this you should have no problem defeating this mob ... hope this helps anyone and good luck :) we did this with 10 men 1 tank 1 healer and 8 dps seeing as healer only had to focus on tank , dps used self heals and if died just ran back in

Commento di 365842

this guy is my personal goldfarm , im playing on low pop realm and my DK soloing him every week,he alsways drop 2 epics , but gold is random from 31g. to 399g.simple kitefight,16min

Commento di 945301

This can now easily be done with 5 people. 1 heals, 1 tank, and 3 dps, preferably all ranged. Just did it and got 2 epic drops and an enchant formula.

Commento di CaptainWater

I saw a Human Deathknight, probably tank geared, hence the 220k hp he had, solo this boss.

Mind = Blown, I must say.

Commento di ayssa

just soloed as a bear tank, actually was kinda easy tho took 12 mins and 23 seconds, only ever used barkskin tho could of not used that, 2 epics and a green jc pattern oh and 191 g for 13 mins work, wiped once due to breath being bugged, but around 57, 7 found the best place to do it,

just have 3 different location for the breath and cycle through them as needed the shock wave is very is to avoid either get behind or just imagine the shock wave cone starts at a point between his legs and move left or right to get out of the way

Commento di 855411

398 ilvl blood deathknight, just solo'd him as of patch 4.3. took 16 minutes and some close calls with random wolves running by, but i got him. no MC for soloing, just shock wave and the black blood on the ground...which lags a bit if you fight him on the hill.

Commento di Devilknightman

"Not soloable by prot paladins." - A Dead ilvl 390 Paladin

Commento di 128740

Definitely one of the harder bosses to solo (second besides garr, not counting akma'hat).
Be careful when you kite him around to avoid shockwaves and black breath, as his leash is pretty tight.
The bug that was mentioned before doesn't seem to happen anymore (blood dk's frost fever).
Shockwave happens to coincide with every other black breath (either directly before, or after it, so be prepared to move after shockwave due to the next breath).

Commento di Ikana

Solo'd him today 19/6/12 as ilv400 blood dk, took 21min30s.
He cannot be kite far from pull at all, so find a landmark, and do circles. Avoid the black aoe, Ams if its up. The stomp seemed random, i would either take it, miss it or absorb it, regardless of my distance, but do try to run.
He was not able to be taunted by army i pop'd at 50%
Try to be topped up at all times, a bad stomp stun into black aoe with eye beam will kill you even at 230k hp.
-Good Hunting
-Solidish

Commento di Syllvos

If soloing this boss, I heartily recommend picking something to kite around. This avoids having to worry about his reset range, and if you slowly move backwards and around whatever it is you picked (I always use some of the trees), you won't have to worry about black clouds either.

It's also important to note that the elk can cause your immediate death due to their stuns, so if you have any innate aoe that would pick them up, be sure to kill them ASAP.

Commento di Kinetika

find this elite today, tried 2man it, then my guy said he can solo, but we invited one more guy, anyway we got 2mc and then he decide, dont move in i will solo and he did this on 18mins.
BTW its not 20m hp, but 12m hp.

Commento di 1016045

Just solo'd this bad boy today on my death knight. Longest 17 minutes of my life, ilvl 390 DK tank. Kotarofuma-Ghostlands US 7/21/12 about 650ish ST.

Got a cool 200 gold and some 359 boe dagger and dps plate pants out of it. :) and some random green JC pattern cut thing

followed the guide for duo'ing him and cut it down to just meh doing the indie-500 until dead.

Good luck and enjoy the challenge of Julak-doom.

Commento di 1017200

Solo'ed him as a blood DK, 390 iLvl (No set bonus). Took around 17 min.
Kept him in place and just slowly turned in a circle around him. When he cast the Black Breath, I moved 90 degrees around him, if he was about to cast his Shockwave I popped Anti-Magic Shell and soaked the breath dmg untill he started to cast the Shockwave, then moved.
Took 405k dmg in total in the fight so you need to constantly use your healing spells and CD's. My average dps was 13k.
He dropped the Vitreous Beak of Julak-Doom, Je'Tze's Sparkling Tiara, Design: Deft Hessonite and 119g69s80cp.

Commento di sushi521

6 manned this with 2 hunters 1 DK a shaman and priest dropped 2 epics and and blue design :)

Commento di SirRoivas

Took him in an 8-man group today. Myself(Protection Warrior) as tank, a Holy Paladin and Holy Priest healing, and a number of DPS, including a Ret Pally, Destro Lock, and Hunter whose spec I never checked. First attempt was with only four of those people, and we kept getting screwed over by the MCing. Second attempt was with one more person added, with about the same result. After getting a couple more DPS, we finally got him on the third try, with only a couple deaths.

A couple of the DPS were in high-level gear, though I didn't check most of the other members. I was personally geared okay, just high enough to get into Heroics, but not enough for HoT stuff.

From a tank's perspective, things to deal with in this fight:
- Keep him facing away from everyone else; the only one who should have to worry about avoiding Massive Shockwave is you.
- Keep an eye on the black pools; make sure you're not in one, and that there are no pools in the area behind him so that any melee DPS can continue hacking merrily away without concern. Move him around if need be.
- When he casts Massive Shockwave, I find strafing to one side or the other works well in avoiding it. Make sure you have a good defensive cooldown on standby in case some circumstance or another causes you to get caught in it anyway, to give the healer time to get you back up.
- As far as I've seen, you're pretty much guaranteed to have to move him around at least a little through the course of the fight, so make sure you remember where you first aggroed him, and make sure not to carry him very far away from that spot.

Commento di 976310

It is my experience that this world boss is BY FAR the hardest of them all.
Mobus and Akma'hat especially are absolute jokes compared to Julak-Doom. A few things to watch out for:
He will mind control 2-3 people around him (They don't have to be in the group, if someone outside your group is watching, they CAN get MC'd.) DO NOT attempt to crowd control through these MCs, just simply damage them.
The tank should face him away from the rest of the group, because his massive shockwave did ~60k to me (shadow priest).
He will summon little patches on the ground for you to get out of, so doing so is wise.

In the end, our group was:
Shadow priest (392)
Arms warrior (390)
Blood DK (385)
Ele shaman who occasionally healed (389)
Oomkin (Cataclysmic gladiator pvp gear)

One other funny thing: When he mind controlled me one time, rather than casting, he started to MELEE. I'm a priest, so I found that very funny.

Commento di 1025144

He was found around 11am server today on Burning Legion (PVP)
1 tank, 1 healer, 4 dps. Took roughly 5 minutes to take him down. Easy fight, just make sure tank faces him away from group and stay out of the black blots that appear on the ground. Dropped two BoE items. The caster dagger and caster cloak.

Commento di Dwarfaholic

Just attacked him when I was doing wild hammer dailies on my lvl 90 prot pally when he showed up on NPCscan. I then thought he only had 12k health so I attacked and it was really 12000k health and took about 10min fighting him alone. I finally took him down and looted some gold and a design:retaliating nightstone, Pauldrons of edward the odd, and vitreous beak of julak-doom.

Commento di Aeyrlol

Just soloed this guy after over half an hour of frustration. First encountered him on my rogue and pulled him to see how much damage he did (finding out that he was auto attacking me for around 35k, I vanished and logged to my DK).

I switched to my DK, went blood, and tried to go out there. It would have been completely faceroll... except that he mind controls the tank if there is another target present.... like a bloodworm. After wiping over and over to spam MCs from blood worms, I gave up and tried frost. That last 1 attempt (too much damage), and I decided to try my main.

My main is a feral dps, i487 (http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/stormrage/Aeyr/advanced). Unfortunately I fought him on a hill, so his little black puddles decided to keep doing damage to me when I was really far away from them. He is too fast to kite, so I played defensive and spammed instant cast healing touches into myself. I started going bear form and found that I could easily outheal his damage with just frenzied regen. When he did his shockwave, I took that time to put a rejuv on myself.

If i did it again, I would be a flat out bear spec. It would be easy. Still, I was able to do a reasonable amount of burst with berserk+survival instincts up.

Fight lasted 5 minutes, 38 seconds. He dropped 233g, , , and .

P.S. He has just over 12m hp. It looks like it might be lower than it used to. /shrug.

Commento di 1123015

Easily soloed with a max level hunter. I used a tank pet with spirit bond and refreshed mend pet after MC attempts, but my pet never came close to dying. Drop a snake trap whenever possible for more MC targets.

Commento di DarkeFeng

I have been trying to farm patterns from this and other rares. I don't believe that they exist any longer because I've seen not even a corpse in 2 months. This includes waiting the supposed 72 hours after server reset, waiting for an indefinite amount of time on spawn points, and even cross-realming. I've submitted tickets but GMs are unwilling to even acknowledge that the spawn even occurs.

Commento di pjrulez

So I've been checking on this world boss for past few days after there were posts about reduced spawn times of Cataclysm world bosses and came to a conclusion this boss spawns on 2-3 hours timer, or his corpse literally never despawns and stays there for 4-7 hours minimum.

Basically I've killed him once, then for whole 24 hours I've been seeing his corpse in exactly the same place.

Commento di tinybubble

ive killed this rare 15 times in the last week and it has yet to give me the pattern for the top hat, ive received a lot of purples and green recipes but never the hat, have anyone else received the hat or the glasses?

Commento di Cr00xY

Stumbled upon this guy today, he had around 10mil HP. Which is around average legion mob level! What the hell? I've played around month or 2 of cataclysm and I have no idea about this guy, but that much HP seems really really big deal. No idea if HP was changed with some of the latest changes. Also, the items he dropped have huge ilvl range (kinda reminds me to legion too) - dagger and plate chest. Also dropped irrelevant JC pattern which can't be vendored.

Commento di RandomWindowArt

I can confirm in 2019 this rare elite does still spawn, and very easily soloable at 120. I had NEVER seen him before so it was quite the surprise!

Commento di Ozzkat

Few things make me more uncomfortable than watching a giant, throbbing squid as a creature's head lumber around...

But anyway, as a farmer of gold from the Cata world bosses, here's some information I've gathered from killing all of them in study of who dropped the most gold. I killed each mob 10 times to capture a large collection of numbers:

Julak-Doom: 158g; 230g; 226g; 239g; 185g; 217g; 220g; 151g; 215g; 237g
Xariona: 20g; 24g; 21g; 18g; 16g; 19g; 24g; 15g; 18g; 21g
Akma'hat: 218g; 169g; 169g; 200g; 226g; 163g; 165g; 240g; 154g; 238g
Mobus: 193g; 195g; 220g; 210g; 155g; 215g; 176g; 244g; 242g; 234g
Garr: 383g; 522g; 377g; 400g; 409g; 518g; 529g; 442g; 436g; 497g

In conclusion, Garr consistently dropped the most gold. Julak offers around the same amount as the rest, save for poor Xariona.

Commento di Ozzkat

Another potentially important thing for the curious like me: It does not matter what phase you're in of the Twilight Highlands questline - he will spawn with the Maw of Madness active or not. I was wondering for a while if I could see him on my alts, who have not completed all the necessary quests to destroy the Maw, and I can now say with certainty you can, as I have seen and killed him on both versions.

Commento di Lowlander0031

Does anyone know the respawn time on this boss?

Commento di Kidcriticus

Can you guys who have got the pattern post things like, What level, race , faction, skill level, realm, and was it an alt or a main who did all the killing. Just trying to make a more focused hunt :)

Commento di Blacksunshine30

Does anyone know if you have to have completed the questline up to where it takes you to the Kirkhaven/ Maw of Madness area on the map? I've known about this npc for years but cant get info on if it's phased or not. I have an alt leveling through TH, and it can see the mob, but when I log on to my main and stand in the same spot, it is nowhere to be found. Any info would be appreciated thanks!

Commento di Drolfeir

This boss still spawns northeast of the Maw. Even though its badge is "boss" level it still took only 2 hits with a level 60 shaman.

It took me a day and a half of checking in to find him, so the report that the the respawn cooldown is ~12 hours is probably true.

I completed all the quests in the zone back in the day, so I can't say if phasing matters or not.
