This mob is spawned when someone talks to one of the four Cultist Engineers that are trying to repair the broken Necrotic Shards.

I did this quest to day after collecting 8 runes, you use speak to one of the channeling NPCs by a Damaged Shard. They will turn into the Shadow of Doom with roughly 120k health, and hits for around 1k, and mindflays for around 200-500 per tick. I soloed them easy as an Elemental Shaman.

He dropped Breastplate of Undead Slaying which is part of the Blessed Battlegear, a well as 30 Runes, and a random Item of Common Quality.

Breastplate is as follows:

1450 Armor
48 Str
51 Sta
40 haste

1 of 4 of a set piece.

The Drop Rate for a chest item must not be very high. All I've managed to get off of these are the 30 runes and some coinage. Anyone else having this problem?

I managed to pull one(later found out that it was someone's but he had died), as a lock you can solo them quite easily if you have curse of exhaustion, besides most of the times people help you out, did not get a drop from this guy beside the runes, I've killed 2 rares which did drop a leg piece of the set.

Note that if there is more than one summoned and unclaimed, they will aggro together and, oddly enough, share threat between them until they are pulled apart.

In addition, if they are linked like this, if one of them resets, they will all reset.

At first when a place is under attack from the Scourge, there will be a Necrotic Shard and various undead mobs surrounding it. When you kill these mobs, the Necrotic Shard will lose a small amount of it's health (15/3038 hp, meaning you need 203 kills to destroy it). When it reaches zero, it will turn into a Damaged Necrotic Shard and 4 Cultist Engineers will start channeling a ritual. By talking to one of these and using 8 Necrotic Runes you will summon a Shadow of Doom. Be sure to spam your instant abilities on him as many people tend to try tagging him to their own group.

It hasn't been mentioned yet, but these drop a Corrupter's Scourgestone when killed, so much sure to equip your insignia.

They are very easy to kite, BUT you must be careful not to pull them too far from the Necrotic Shard. If they are kited too far away, they will evade and reset, and you will lose your tap on them.

What you can do is kite them in a circle around the crystal, so that they stay at roughly the same distance from it all the time. It is very easy to kill them by doing this.

评论来自 Veratus

I'm not sure Blizzard have properly thought this out. Why not tag the mob for whoever summoned it? The last few spawns I've seen of these guys have been instantly ninja'd by everyone except the person who actually paid the 8 runes! Utterly ridiculous.

The whole series of world events have been nothing but a disappointment for me. Zombies are basically an excuse to grief and kill key NPCs, being turned into a zombie and then nailed by a guard requires a corpse run and a repair bill payment, and the icing on the cake is other people ninjaing these mobs after you work your butt off getting the crystal down.

Sigh.

评论来自 Dxlle

This is THE single most ridiculosly annoying mob I have ever tried to solo, in my entire life.. holy *!@#.. I mean.. I play a balance druid, mostly wearing s3 healing gear, so my damage output is fairly high.. However with the incredibly short range it can go from the center, without evading, there's just no way I can ever get it dps'ed down fast enough to avoid respawns.. And 1 respawn is no problem, even 2 I can deal with.. But when all of a sudden it sends out 3 mobs plus the respawns, then I get in a lotta trouble.. And dont even get me started on the fear.. that's just such an obvious attempt to $%^&block for soloing ..

评论来自 TheMaelstorm

One thing I'd like to point out. These guys drop 30 runes, but either it looks like 1 rune, or its not very obvious on the rolling screen. It looks like you're rolling on another rune. Make sure to arrange how to roll on these 30xrune stacks before you kill them, especially if you are with randoms (you may want to use master loot even)

评论来自 Pachuca

I feel it's worth mentioning that if you only kill 3 of the Shadows of Doom and leave the 4th Engineer alone, 3 more Engineers will spawn in their place and you can get 3 more chances at the loot. Upon killing the next Engineer, however, the necrotic circle will despawn.

They have a fear effect, based completely off proximity, and not cast on the highest threat.

As a boomkin that was 2 manning it, i used my trees as a buffer against it.

评论来自 Waezlur

I’ve spent a good few hours fighting these mobs now, and although it is usually a war over the tags on the Shadows I had a nice experience this morning. For some strange reason the crystal despawned after only one of the Shadows were defeated. Most of the other players grinding there left, but I (undead warrior) stayed behind along with an alliance druid and hunter. While I cleared the remaining trash the alliance guys spoke to one of the cultists and picked the fight with the Shadow. When I looked up I saw they were being owned by it, so I charged in and helped them finish it off.

Using emotes we then agreed on helping each other with the two last ones, so they tagged the first one, we fought it together, and then I tagged the last one and they helped me defeat it.

I think it’s a shame cooperation between the factions isn’t promoted more, since this was actually a fun, different experience. Especially considering the abuse the horde players were screaming at each other while squabbling over the tags…

评论来自 236207

I’ve noticed some druids have been taunting them from other players, running out of the circle, forcing them to evade reset, which allows the druid to tag them shortly after with an instant cast spell.

Caught one doing this last night to other players and decided to beat him at his own game- waited for him to get one low health, used demon form taunt to pull it off of him, evaded it, then demon charged after it reset, tagging it as mine.

Made sure to do a few /gloat, /lol emotes at him as I killed it. :p

评论来自 Sgat8516

Completely wrong...
These elites are ONLY tapped, by the person who summoned it, or the party that summoned it.

I've checked this time and time again, and had the player who 'said' they summoned it, to check their bags, and they actually didn't pay to summon it. But, i'm sure bugs will occur in that 1/10,000 case, when 2 people actually do spend 8 runes each... but that is the expection rather than the rule.

Only the person who PAYS 8 Runes to summon this mob, is the one/party to get the credit. Although, a tank can drag him and reset him, and reacquire the credit, but that is a different story.

From what I've seen, the rare's drop the legs/chest (99%+ chance), and the elites (dooms) have a 5-10% drop chance for those same items.

Fairly easy to solo. Feral druid, Kara gear and a couple Merc pieces.
When he casts Mind Flay, Bash it asap when it's up. Mangle, Lacerate, FF, Roar. Switch to cat for a second to apply all bleed dots. When I got to about 1/4-1/2 health, I rooted the Shadow, ran away, healed up and applied hots. Repeat. Only had to heal twice.

I was very surprised the two Alliance didn't gank at first... Probably because they had their own Shadow to deal with. When I tagged a second mob and got it to 25%, then of course they killed me and took the mob. *fumes* I knew I shoulda rolled on a PVE server. Lol. >.>

评论来自 NeotericReunion

When summoning one of these today, it seemed to be tagged to our group automatically. Another player attempted to tag it multiple times, and we had not attacked it once; it was still tagged to my group. No idea if this was a recent hot fix or if I'm imagining things.

评论来自 Solacia

Fairly hard to solo as an affliction lock (I'm in full BT gear, 56/0/5 specced), I recommend taking both health pots and health stones, as well as waiting for death coil to be off cooldown.
Hit with haunt, full row of dots, and drain tank. You'll have to refresh siphon, I let agony fall off if I'm at 60% health or less.
Use nightfall procs at that same 60% mark, and dark pact/life tap often when you're about 60% so you don't get low on health and oom.
Haunt should basically be either casting or on cooldown the entire fight, you use it as much as possible since your main burst heal (death coil, and HS/pot being others)

评论来自 Kasaga

Solo'd this as a resto druid.
Cleared a path through the undead in the area, and out of curiosity, disrupted his ritual. (During a dead hour, so there was no alliance to gank me) I died the first few times, but I formulated a solid strategy to downing one effectively. Although, it took a long time. I'm not sure if any other class can solo this, but I aggroed him to outside of the circle of undead, and rooted him. He has a Mind Flay, a Fear, and he hit me (at 2k armor) for 2k. However, his fear and mind flay's max range were shorter than my wraths and starfires, so it was easy to chain root him and spam wraths regularly. (after the first five deaths) If you don't watch where you're going, he may fear you into the group of undead.

I solo'd him later, too, when there were no undead around, (again, during a dead hour) and it was even easier to manage.

For any other casting druids that wanna give it a try, it's easy. Keep him outside the circle (but close enough for him to not reset) and chain root him while spamming wrath. If any adds get on, keep him rooted and take care of the adds. Because I'm rest, though, the adds weren't much of an issue, I'd just heal through them. Max range for wraths and starfires is the only way to do this -- if you don't, you'll be in range for his fear and you'll likely run into more adds.

Hope this helped anyone. ^^

Solo'd as a restoration druid. Root and sustain 20 yards range so they can't fear/mindflay.

评论来自 109603

this is just a guesstimate...but i believe the epic chests have a 10%-25% chance of dropping.
Leather chest drops most often.
Plate chest drops almost as much as cloth.
Cloth robe drops every once in a while...lesser drop rate than plate
Mail Hauberk has the LOWEST form of drop rate i have EVER SEEN.

These can be soloed as a warrior provided that you have decent (t5+) grade tank-gear. Your spec doesn't matter, I did them as Arms without too much hassle but you will have it much more easier when you're def-specced.
With a bit of practice you can quite easily guess the upcoming mindflay and spell reflect it. Keep 5 sunders up, stay in def-stance, bash all the missed mindflays and just keep spamming revenge/shield slam.

as a boomkin ( http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Darksorrow&n=Zpa ) i ALMOST soloed these 2 times...the point is not wether u can kill it,its wether u dont pull it too far away(reset bugged that was my 2nd try) the 1st try i was in blasted lands and 2 hordes are trying to 2man (tauren fury war and ud disc priest) and it wasnt going good so i decide to help them and we kill it.i summon the shadow and solo it to 10%(had 100% hp and 30% mana left)then the 2 hordes decide that hey he helped us we should kill him and take his shadow to show our thanks...nice guys

the shadows mind flay wen not in range but for extremely low damage (500 per tick but i resisted 300 so only 600 dmg over 3 secs) that i was able to heal trough with rejuvenation

评论来自 Vonriel

I would strongly suggest against interrupting/countering/stunning/etc. the mind flays. The shadows hit me - a ret pally with 3pc t4, ~8k armor - for ~1800 each hit, but the mind flay only ticked on me for about 217, meaning it was a lot less painful to just soak up the mind flay and keep him from hitting me two or three times than it was to stop it.

Some notes on kiting: It's incredibly easy for anything with a snare to kite these. I would suggest a group of two, one melee to hold aggro, and one ranged dps with a snare to slow it down. The way to do it is for the melee to hold aggro and kite it around, waiting out of melee range for it to start the mind flay, when you run in and unload everything you can before it finishes. Once it's over, you back out again and resume kiting, while the caster keeps it snared. It takes a bit, but it's a lot easier than trying to simply go toe-to-toe with them. I followed this strategy with an arcane mage - slow is a godsend - and we easily soloed all four shadows, even though the mage was in mostly pre-70 gear.

评论来自 Vaylos

Soloed as a prot pally. Takes about 10 minutes to kill one, and its actually easier if you fight him and one or two other mobs with Blessing of Sanctuary up. The mana restoration is excellent with just BoSanc, and you can kill him quicker using SoVeng.

I was in Kara level gear with the T5 badge chest and legs.

评论来自 Zeildo

This is easily soloed by an Arcane Specced Mage. all you need is the spell "slow".

you will kite the mob with "Slow" and use instants and an occassional channeled / 1.5-3.5sec casts. the easiest way to kite it is to clear a path into it, then kite it AROUND the undeads. else it will evade.

Will take some time doing this but it ensures you 30x Necrotic Runes and maybe if your lucky a chestpiece of the undead slaying gear :)

soloed this today as a affliction warlock it was pretty easy and i just keeped curse of exhaustion on it all the time and used shadowward and escape artist against mindflay the fear was a problem it sometimes feared me in some undeads but on the third try i got one down

评论来自 ThyFlame

Fairly easily soloable as a meta-specced Warlock. You'll struggle with any other spec.

Essentially you want to pull the shadow to the outskirts of the camp (careful, very short evade leash). All you really need to do is have your Felguard tank him while you keep up immolate/corruption/coa and health funnel frequently. You can nuke imbetween reapplying DoTs and health funneling, just don't pass your felguard in threat. If you get adds, just meta+immo aura and reapply dots to the shadow. Fel Synergy and immo aura should heal the Felguard pretty well. When it gets sub 20% you can just pop meta and nuke it down to save time.

Feral druid solo strategy:
Bear form is the best here, as for most feral elite solos. Clear a path to the summoner dude/shadow of doom. Summon the shadow or pull if already summoned. As was mentioned in other posts, it's best to fight these outside the circle of adds. As a feral druid fight, you don't necessarily need to circle the group/kite it around. Use mangle and maul to fight this guy. If you pull an add or two, kill them first, as they get quite annoying.

If you pull more than one/two adds, run away and let them reset so you can re-pull. Now on to the fight with the shadow. Keep on mangling and mauling away till he gets you to about 66% of your health (or a higher percentage if you have less health than 13-15k in bear). When you get to this amount of health, bash him. Now, if you are a good feral, you have 2/2 infected wounds, so his movement is reduced to 50%. Try to make sure you mangle right before you stun him so you have a full 15 sec. (~10 after the bash) After you bash, run away while casting rejuv and lifebloom. Right when the lifebloom global CD goes away, stop and cast a full-fledged Healing Touch. The shadow should not be to you yet because it is still moving at 50%.

Rinse and repeat this process. Do the maul/mangle until your bash cooldown is over or wait a little longer if you still have over 66% health. This was done in mostly season 3 armor with a piece of s4 and s2 and a s2 weapon, so if you have lower gear, you may need to tweak to process to be safe, and have a few health/mana combo pots just in case. In this case, I used no pots or even the bear rejuv.

Just thinking back to when i was a 70 ret pally and i was trying to solo this as the knuckle-head i am. Whenever i was in a group the shadow of doom would drop 30 or so runes for ONE member ....not split it up...i guess my luck was sucking because the whole time i was out there i never got 30 or so runes, i had to farm them when my friends were getting them off 1 mob and i was getting them off like 10-15 mobs.....30 RUNES FOR ONE PERSON!

Edit:Took out some words

First you need to go to an area that is "under attack" as part of the new argent dawn/naxxramis quests. To see what area is under attack just open up your world map. Zoom out as far as you can, and any zone that is under attack will have a picture of a skull somewhere in that zone with the phrase "under attack". Head to that area and find a summoning circle - it will be near one of the huge floating islands, and probably camped by a bunch of other players. Mobs will randomly spawn, and as you kill them they have a chance to drop an item called a necrotic rune. You will want to collect as many of these as possible, as they can be turned in to an NPC at light's hope chapel for some pretty neat stuff.

As you continue to kill the random spawns at the summoning circle, eventually four summoners will appear around the necrotic shard, and will begin channeling on it. If you interact with these summoners you are given the option to interrupt the summoning using 8 necrotic runes. If you choose to do so, the summoner will turn in to a Shadow of Doom, a 61 elite mob. I've killed this mob three times now and each time I've been in a group with at least two other people; you still might have to worry about random adds spawning around you so be prepared to do some crowd control and have a healer present. Beware - summoning the shadow of doom is not the same as tagging it, and it takes a few seconds after it pops out before you can attack it, so be ready to do everything in your power to hit it ASAP to make sure it is your kill.

The Shadow of Doom will likely drop a corruptor's scourgestone. Also, each of the times I've killed it, it has dropped 30 necrotic runes. There is also a set of undead slaying gear which has int, stam and + spell damage vs undead for clothies, and stam and +atk pwr vs undead for leather, mail, and plate. The set consists of bracers, gloves, and chestpiece, and the set bonus is 2% bonus damage vs. undead. The chestpiece has a chance to drop from the shadow of doom (two out of three kills it dropped the cloth chestpiece and the third kill it didn't drop any). The gloves can be obtained by giving 30 necrotic runes to an NPC at light's hope. I still haven't found out where to get the bracers.

评论来自 Thottbot

I spent over an hour at one of the circles today and nothing happened.. does the attack only happen once then move to a different location .. or does it have an insanely long respawn timer .. anyone know?

评论来自 Thottbot

I figured it out the locations move at set times throughout the day... pretty lame blizzard.

评论来自 Thottbot

the bracers drop off rare spawns that spawn in the middle near the crystal before the crystal is damaged and the shadows of doom come.

评论来自 Thottbot

The random spawns differ, they can be casters, abombinations or maybe even crypt fiends.

Anyway, Four of these acolytes spawn when the Crystal is at about 10% health. You can stop their summoning in exchange for 8 Necrotic Runes, and the Shadow of Doom will appear. This is a lvl 60 or 61 Elite, with 40000 HP, a 3 second cast Fear and a 5 second Mind Flay for 130 damage per tick. Both attacks have a lower range than Fireblast.

I soloed one of these. Took me two Iceblocks to escape mob aggro (It's easier when there's soneone else around ;) ), Evocation and two pots. You just have to make sure to NEVER get in Fireblast range without Counterspell off cooldown, then they're easy as pie. Save your mana for Shatters.

评论来自 Thottbot

I was in a 5-man group on a fresh necrotic shard in Tanaris.
We saw the summoners after a good 20 minutes or so into chipping away the non-elites, even with the shard at a higher health (didn't notice if it was 100% or 90%). We started summoning the Shadows and after defeating them we noticed the shard losing health.
So I guess the shard doesn't neccesarily have to be at 10% health to spawn the summoners. Perhaps someone has some more input on how to get the summoners up?

评论来自 Thottbot

They have about 40k HP, which is not so bad. The hardest part about these guys is the adds. If you pull him far from the crystal, which seems like the obviously sensible thing to do, every now and then about 5 guys will come help the Shadow, running all the way from the crystal area. I dont know the rule about how often they will come and help.

评论来自 Thottbot

I put in 8 shards to summon a shadow, and all 4 cultists became shadows. Has this ever happened to anyone?

评论来自 Thottbot

The Summoners seem to arrive at intervals, probably as the Necrotic Crystal gets more and more damaged.
I was killing mobs waiting for my group to arrive and saw alliance guys kill all 4 summoners/shadows, so I was quite annoyed, thinking I'd missed my chance, but it wasn't long at all until another batch of summoners turned up.
And all this is with a Damaged Necrotic Crystal.
Incidentally, we managed to kill a Shadow of Doom with Level 60 Hunter, Rogue and Shaman, but it WAS a long difficult fight, witha bit of help from some confused alliance guys..

评论来自 Thottbot

Soloed one of these bad boys as a level 59 priest. Shackle, mind blast, flay, shackle, mindblast, flay, shackle. Rinse and repeat 5000 times, but make sure you have high mana regen. Used bandages (of course), and a few pots.

And guess what? It dropped the robe!

cleaned the stone on my own down from like 40% left. Stupid as i was, i spoke to all the summoners at the same time, giving them 32 runes (whilst other undead were still around) then being defeated by the elites. If there are no more mobs around, speak to the summoners one by one - killing them took me 2 combat mana potions, and 2 mana stones - they dont necessarily drop the blues, but 30 runes.

Not much more to say than has already been said by others..

They are NOT immune to any kind of CC (root, stuns, etc.)

Just a tip about the non-elites, they have a very small aggro radius so you can normally kill a few in the way and just run past the others to get to the shade. If you get non-elite adds just keep the shade rooted/shackled and kill the non-elites first.

Yeah I (hunter) tried to kite this guy and it seems that if you get him too far away from his buddies then he will start evading. I dont know how far the mages and warriors kited them but he evaded twice for me.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Absolutely OWNED them with Pally, Priest and Ice Mage(me).

Pally mounted up and ran around grabbing non elite mobs. Pulled them back and I spammed AoE till they died. Kited 1 shadow at a time away from respawns.

Repeat. (Yet still no robes for me.)

评论来自 Allakhazam

They're amazingly easy with a 5-man team.

1. Mount up and run in a circle
2. Mage AoE's end gets spam healed for maybe 10-15 seconds.
3. Tank pulls a couple shadows
4. Let the tank hold aggro while you kill off the extra adds
5. kill the shades one at a time
6. Repeat

They don't have much DPS. We had a harder time with the gazillion adds than we did with the shades. It is a world event I'm actually enjoying.

That works to target and select the first dialogue option to give them the runes
In keybinds > targeting > interact with target set it to the same binding as the macro you put it on (so put the macro on 2 and interact with target on 2) and you should have a 1 button target interact and start fight button, just stand near where they spawn and spam it

If you're alone, leave one of the cultists up, they have a respawn timer of 10 min as long as one is left alive. But once you beat 4 of them the necrotic shard gets destroyed. Still, at least you can kill 7 per shard this way for a faster solo boss farm.
