He sits around the bottom of the Hidden Hollow in the Scarlet Onslaught base in far-western Icecrown. He was hitting my druid in balance form for 3k+ in melee. He also has a Heroic Strike, a cleave, and a channeled Whirlwind that hits twice. All his specials hit me through my savage gladiator's leather armor for about 3000 to 3600.

He even has voice acting!

To say a short bit of spoiling info:
from looking at his skills one can assume one main thing hes a dreadlord in disguise. and not just any dreadlord but Mal'ganis from strath and warcraft 3 and such.

Although it is not linked here, this guy is the objective of the quest The Admiral Revealed.

He's supposedly has two phases, Westwind and Mal'ganis, but by chance we managed to block his transformation with a stun.

At least in his Westwind form he's susceptible to stun and disarm.

Kommentar von Otakahunt

a mage soloed him. Pretty wicked if you look at his health and range when he resets.

Solo'd as 80 Resto shaman.Is doabale.Just hugged wall where npc was to avoid respawn of pat.Took while but did it.

Kommentar von Zephyr

He knows Carrion Swarm, eh? Interesting.

Kommentar von Mecyr

It's like Stratholme all over again, a leader of the scarlet crusade killed and possesed by a dreadlord (Mal'ganis).

It's quite disapointing to see Mal'ganis end up here as a soloable mob instead of a boss of a new instance.

Kommentar von KainDarkfire

Wait a tick, how's it even possible that he's around at all? Arthas slew him shortly after retriving Frostmourne, a storyline death like that from a powerful soul stealing weapon? Further acknowledged the chapter after by Tichondris?

At any rate, it's no wonder he's weaker than he is in the Culling, considering what he should be; a pile of armor and some bats.

Quote from WoWWiki

note that killing in this situation is a loose term; Killing implies they are plausibly still alive in the dreadlord's case, where destroyed is more likely the proper term for the life of a dreadlord fully ended...It is notable that most high ranking dreadlords have cheated death, or are immortal unless they are killed with a specific type of item, liken to their homage, vampires. Both Mal'Ganis and Balnazzar have returned in Warcraft lore after being "killed"; Mal'Ganis by Arthas and Frostmourne, Balnazzar by Varimathras. It would seem that the only dreadlords that are confirmed to be dead — Tichondrius and Anetheron — can give us some clues.

It's unknown as to how to successfully kill a dreadlord, like Mal'Ganis. Just as they are a cunning hero in WC3, they will just secretly return later usually possessing/disguised as someone, like Balnazzar in Stratholme.

uh, check ur lore, sargeras isnt dead. his essence can recover from almost any defeat.

Kommentar von 170647

Somebody knows a script for listening of his remark "I am Mal'ganis"?

Kommentar von 346776

I don't understand this arguement about Mal'ganis death. Where is the problem? He died indeed, but he only had to release get back to his corpse and ress XD (paying for repairs of course).
P.D: sry about my crappy enlgish :P

Easily solo'd as a Prot Pally as of Patch 3.1
With the new talent to refresh divine plea CD, judgement of light, seal of light, blessing of sanctuary, and righteous fury, and the new sacred sheild - improved with a talent, I took no damage and lost virtually no mana. Seems like almost any class could solo it.

Kommentar von Darthmrkew

Maybe if you click on coldwind, he will say: Do you think you can match the might of a dreadlord ?

Kommentar von 175492

You were mentioning people who came back and you didn't even mention Kael'thas? Obviously he's going to pop up in Wotlk and be like... "Magisters terrace was only a setback..."

Kommentar von 315083

I'm a level 80 Feral Druid with no tanking gear (21.5k hp with MotW) and I must say Westwind is a ridiculously easy elite to solo. Just like many badass elites in Icecrown, he IS crowd-controllable (Entangling Roots and Cyclone worked perfectly on him) and doesn't hit fairly hard - around 1.5k~2k mitigated and Whirlwind hitted for ~1.3k on both ticks.

After turning into Mal'Ganis he probably was more difficult, but I can't confirm that as I stunned him at 51% and he didn't transform :p.

warlocks -
He is quite fearable ^.^
In the time it takes him to move 20yds (the range on fear), you can easily cast another fear before he can touch you. This said, make sure to break fear (i.e. with a SB, CB, Inc (they all work)) only when he is out of range of fear (21-30yds away). When he throws his shield, port to your Demonic Circle, and you can also get through that step without being touched.

I just solo'd him with a geared Blood tank DK. (http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Quel'dorei&n=Hect%C3%B8r)

I pretty much death strike abused through the whole fight, I only had to use Rune Tap once or twice.

I opened with Army of the Dead, but he whirlwind'd them away pretty quick. Luckily, he didn't hit me too hard, I don't remember numbers, but it was little enough that I could heal myself through it using my normal rotation, until he transformed. He started hitting a little harder, but it wasn't too big of a deal. I just had to use all my non-blood runes on death strikes instead of Heart Strikes (loldeathrunes)

Maybe someone should try with someone a little less geared than my DK.

Solo'd with blood DK DPS. http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Blackrock&n=Malghanis. Gear is roughly what is on there, but I wore my furious legs and the neck for a little extra stam. Blasted off with AotD which he WW'd down but I was able to avoid it because the ghouls took aggro. After that normal rotation healed me, popping my Icebound Fort and used a DRW+Hysteria+Orc racial to nuke him down to his second form. 2nd form seemed easier than first, his carrion swarm was weaksauce and his hits were just as easy as the first phase. Very easily solo'd with blood dps dk, but without self-sustained heals on top of high dmg it will be difficult.

-side note: How many f'king times will we have to kill Mal'Ganis? Isn't this like 3 times he's been defeated?

Kommentar von deathrot

What the heck do you do when he does his immune bubble crap? "Protection Sphere" https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/spell=50161

I cant do anything after that.. i just have to run away until aggro resets? why is there no information about this? Am i retarded? I seriously can't figure it out.

Kommentar von 165543

Soloed as a Blood DK tank in some heroic blues and 3 epics(from instance queing) no prob wasn't timing but i guess around 5 minutes to kill just use death strike and rune tap for healing and heart strike cuz i didn't want to take 10 minutes.Much easier than that Balgarde guy.

Kommentar von 555522

he isn't immune to engineer's MindControl :D
check the screenshot

Kommentar von 580893

Solo'd as moonkin, was in resto gear, cba to get my balance gear from the bank ^^

regrowth + rejuv
insect swarm + moonfire + starfall and treeants

barkskin when he changes demon and regrowth/ rejuv, nourish spam up to full, immediately back to moomkin and nuke him off.

Kommentar von Shanody

I just did this quest again but there was no transforming. He just remained in human form claiming to be Mal'ganis... Cleary an imposter! ^^
