Putridus the Ancient seems to patrol between the Bombardment and Icecrown Citadel, as mentioned here. He should be duo-able as long as one player can heal occasionally.

Level 80 Rare Elite Giant, resembles Pustulant Horrors.
Completes the achievement Northern Exposure, opening up Frostbitten.
Roughly 75,000 health.
Melee swing hits for 1-2,500 versus a level 78 with 10,000 armor.
Performs a War Stomp stun every 20-30 seconds, occasionally casts Putrid Punt.

He despawned after standing at the Broken Front (infront of a bone sentinel) for a couple minutes. When I found him he had already been standing there, no idea how long.

Commento di Epitaph

Duo'd him with a 72 prot pally and 70 restodruid 30 hours after wotlk release.

Yes we have no lives, flame away.

With T5 equiv gear he wasn't hard to tank at all, biggest problem was generating solid threat. Got him to 80% after about 3-5 minutes before an opposing faction ret pally (lvl 72) started helping us. So I guess you could say we 3 manned him.

Dropped https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/item=44696 and a https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/item=446636 containing 20 gold and 20 frostweave.

Also rewarded 12k xp at lvl 72 :P

Commento di bobjoephil

Found patrolling a route as mentioned above, however it's worth noting he was behaving somewhat buggy. Between the citadel and the first gate, he was moving at way above normal speed and his animation was glitchy (kept going into fall animation going over little humps). However, his patrol between the gates was nice and orderly.

Worth noting that part of his patrol (between the two eastern gates) occurs in a section that is phased, so your group may not be able to take him there.

Overall, very duoable (lvl 80 shaman + lvl 78 spriest took him no problem).

Commento di Kolthor

Soloed as a 78 feral druid. 23k xp (unrested), Giant's Toewrap of the Bandit (+29 Agility, +44 Stamina, +58 Attack Power) and an Abandoned Adventurer's Satchel containing 22g and 20 Frostweave Cloth.

Not bad for five minutes work :)

Commento di 25987

cheetah kited around the two gates with auto n serpent sting.

Commento di 166413

I found him in the broken front. killed him with a 78 feral druid(i was 79 enhance shaman)

Commento di Reika

Solo'd, 80 unholy DK, in my tank rig. No CD's needed. IBF during stomp if you're spiked on a hit. Otherwise, easy kill.

Commento di 176066

Just looks like a larger flesh giant. Soloed as a mutilate rogue in partial T7.25 gear.

Followed him before killing to get his path, forgot to take an SS though :(

Path
I fought him around 48,48 - there's no hostile mobs in that area, only neutral ones.

Commento di 263198

He was walking through the Broken Front (CCW around Ymirheim). I waited for him to cross to the other side of the gate then found a spot with almost no enemies around. He's not any harder than the elites around that use the same skin model.

Solo'd as a demo lock with Felguard and all blue gear (minus epic belt), half of them from heroics.
The area in which I fought him has groups of mobs scattered around in a huge radius, there are many empty spots that allow you to fight without aggro'ing anything. It's the area where the bomber will fly really low during Total Ohmage: The Valley of Lost Hope!.

Commento di 74836

Pretty sure his spawn point is 67 61, just through the gate on The Broken Front side and immediately walks through the gate to begin his patrol of the whole of the 'basin' area. Best place to take is roughly 45 50 as the adds are very few and far between if any. So he starts his patrol walking counter clockwise but turns at corprethar gate and returns clockwise.

Commento di 170909

We nailed him just south of Aldurthar, as he was about to climb the ramp east under the bridge to the next area. I'm a level 78 warlock... had help from a level 80 hunter but she didn't start firing until I'd already taken him down to like 80%. I was thinking with him being an 80 elite giant and me a 78 that it'd take a team effort, but he pretty much melted like butter. No worries.

Commento di 234619

I found this guy pat around the ring from north of Mord'rethar's bridge to Aldur'thar and he carried on to Corp'rethar when he turned around to resume his patrol. Killed him approxomitely 45,2; 54.3. He does a stun and hits quite hard on cloth.

Commento di 153886

Due to his size, targeting macros can tag him even if he's halfway across the zone, so keep that in mind if your macro gets a hit but you don't see him in your immediate area.

Commento di 286223

Watched him spawn at 67, 56 at 10:25 AM Spirestone server and he patrolled south to the opening at the gate and then back north before he was tagged and killed. Within moments of him spawning it appeared as though several players dropped from the air to try to lay claim to him... makes me wonder how many others are working on this Frostbitten achievement!

Edit: his corpse finally despawned half an hour later, thankfully, because it was proving hard to target anything else when my rare spawn macro would catch him all the way in Jotunheim >_<

Commento di 275712

To give you an idea of how big his targeting range is, I was doing the Abberations Must Die daily in Storm Peaks and hit it to see if the Drake was near, and got this guy. I then flew probably 750 yards to Icecrown and found him dead.

Should make knowing if he's up fairly easy.

Commento di 152722

He should be easy for (protection) paladins.

I've managed to solo him in blue gear, bubbled once and BoPed once (mostly just to make sure he doesn't interrupt the heals, can't really say it was close).

The interrupts are war stomp (3 or 4 seconds stun) and a knock-in-air attack, throwing you about 15-20 yards in the air.

I've stalked him on my flying mount until he was alone, then spanked him.

Good luck, Frostbiters!

Commento di 288335

Soloed as a blood specced dk lvl 80, 17600 hp i had at the time.

Dropped leather bracers with stam,ag and ap.and a bag with some #$%^ :)

Commento di 17836

Im not sure about his spawn timer, however.

I found him dead one night around ~23:15.
Then the next day I found him dead around ~21:00
On the third day I found him alive (prolly newly spawned) around 19:15.

This would indicate a ~10 hour respawn timer.

Ofcourse it could be just a fluke :P

Commento di Ruhler

I seen this guy spawn in my face at the large gate while searching for mine nodes. As mentioned, it's too dangerous to fight him near his spawn point, so let him follow his path for a ways. I pulled him to the side 'ditches' where no enemies roam. He can be easily soloed by an 80 Shaman with mediocre gear.

Commento di mekanikos

I picked him up with the Frostbitten macro... from a quarter of the way across the zone. He was dead, which lent to a bit of confusion in trying to track him down, as I was flying over the mining pit at the time, but eventually I found him right outside the Aldurthar bridge/gate, to the east slightly.

Like the Storm Giants and Fel Reavers, you should be able to see this guy from a pretty far distance off.

Commento di 162006

2manned (frost mage+demo lock)

Pretty simple, he threw the dots on and spammed Health Funnel while I just spammed the crap out of Frostbolt with my elemental up.

Commento di tegrenath

Be warned if you're attempting to solo him, he has a stun that he likes to use. This can be troublesome for getting off clutch heals and the like and also was pretty nasty when trying to take him with Evasion.

Commento di Jagno

People have mentioned that you can target and see him from a great distance, and to further support this I just targeted him when I accidentally hit my rare-mob macro from inside the northern bank in Dalaran. Twitchy fingers can pay off!

Edit: In response to disagreements, Putridus has a huge patrol path all the way across Icecrown. When he gets to his very southern and eastern point on the path, he is close enough to be seen and targeted from Dalaran.

Commento di Silvertale

Comfirming the fact that he can be seen from a great distance. I was flying from one of the flying quest hub ships, when I spotted him near the gate before Icecrown Citadel. He can be seen from a great distance similar to elites like Fel Reaver and Thrym.

Commento di 129672

Soloed as a ret pally,had to use Lay of hands and bubble heal,only healing I did. :p

Commento di Robyn

Immune to roots, and hits pretty hard against 16k armour as a moonkin, he killed me twice by stunning as i tried to heal... solo'ing not recommended unless you have some kind of tanking pet and some way to heal it.

Commento di Skriblz

Soloable as a level 80 frost mage.

I solo'd this guy about 10 minutes ago on my mage using mirror images and my elemental. The hardest part for this guy is finding a place to pull him without getting any adds, I found the bombardment to be reasonably empty about halfway up/down it.

I'm unfortunately almost certain that it's alot harder for classes who cant mess with threat or have a pet.

What I did;

Pop water elementals, Mirror image and Icy veins, nuke hard. He for some reason decided to kill my water elemental first, maybe an odd threatlist. Killed the elemental, killed the images, I coldsnapped and resummoned. He died.

Most important thing though, remember to blink out of that stun.

Commento di Cronollo

Just solo'd him as an 80 Enhancement Shaman, waited for a spot where there were no mobs (just before The Bombardment) and then did the normal preparations, summoned Wolves, totems, the works. After the first stun I nearly died (thank you Maelstrom Weapon), but the second didn't last nearly as long. I was a little scared going in, thought he'd be harder, it seems where you fight him is the key.

Commento di LordSothe

My macro picked this guy up in southern Icecrown. I flew around looking for him for about 3 minutes before I found him at (68, 61). He wasn't moving at the time, so he must have been at a pause in his patrol route. Anyway, due to his size, he's quite hard to miss once you're close for him to appear in view distance, but he can be targetted from very far away.

He had more health than I was expecting, but he was easily solo-able. He had an AoE stun/interrupt. His melee attacks were fairly weak against my plate armor, but they were strong enough that they could probably pose a significant threat to someone with cloth.

The biggest problem with this guy is that he tends to hang out near other enemies -And, as you've undoubtedly noticed if you've quested in Icecrown, many of the mobs there have VERY large aggro radiuses. When he finally feel, I had an extra six mobs on me, and three corpses that had been AoE'd down during the fight.

Commento di 243044

i can't believe i found this. nearly soloed at lvl 78 in the end a priest came

Commento di Dimension

Soloed him as a 78 prot pally, used my bubble and Lay on Hands though. I don't know if it was glitched or not but I killed him as a 79 elite, not 80. I spotted him while flying to Shadow Vault from Dalaran.

Commento di 345481

ok at 4:00 pm today my guild member yelled on vent that some big thing was walking though icecrown so i flew from dalaran right to her and there he was but already tagged so i was woundering if some one could find out a respawn time on this guy

Commento di Dairystyle

Solo'd with my prot paly easily. I was able to take him down to practically nothing (10-12%) before I took the precaution of LOH to be safe. I was around 25% health and there were some elite mobs in the area who could aggro if they got too close (fortunately they did not). He dropped "of the Invoker," 17 gold and a stack of frostweave cloth.

Not too bad for a chance encounter. I recognized the model but it was out of place for the area I usually see them in and then saw the silver elite dragon. Beat an Alliance by mere meters to it too. :D

Commento di drded

Hey, just soloed him as a 80 affi warlock. i tanked him with my VW for 20 sec then just nuked him.
I can tell you some things about this rare.

His spawn timer is 6 hours:
My friend killed him 13:14.
I targeted him 19:14 and killed him 19:17.
I targeted him again 01:17 but never killed him this time. (to lasy) xD

Spawn point:
He spawned for me around 57,40 and i killed him at the bridge 54,34. (19:14 o'clock)

Target range:
I can tell you the target range but i can tell you where his body was and where i stood when i targeted him at max range.
Putridus the Ancients body: 54,34.
Me standing: 68,61.
Took me 43 sec to fly that distance with 280% mount.

If you want to see if you can solo this rare elite try to kill the Undead mob called Pustulent Colossus at 48,64.
He have around the same health and hit for the same amount of damage and uses the same Warstomp ability.

Hope this helps for all the Frostbitten farmers. xD

Commento di temu92

I was doing Putting the Hertz: The Valley of Hope and as a surprise I saw this guy when I was driving the plane. Just dropped 2 bombs (hits 50k each) and it was a dead monster. Got the Northern Exposure achievement and his loots. I don't exactly know was the quest bugged or something :P

Commento di Aezur

I'm curious. While flying over the edge of stormpeaks, almost in icecrown headed to the argent tournament, my npcscan popped up saying it had found putridus. I did three circuits of his patrol route to no avail. I later realized that I had not done any quests in icecrown, and as such haven't phased it at all. Would that be a problem?

Commento di 23276

Wow does this guy have a INSANE targeting range or what? I was afk in the argent tourney grounds (inside the main tent getting daily's from the grand champion argent dude cause I am a champion)

And a mod which I was using managed to pick up this guy from all the way from where I was.

I flew around and didn't find him in the current area so I quickly checked here for his pathing and saw just how far away he was.

I eventually caught up to him and duo'd him with a Frost-Spec Deathknight.

Dear god this thing is massive!.

And as of this post Im in the storm peaks and I STILL have this guy targeted!

Commento di Furl

I was questing with my 78 lock tonight and saw this guy was up; I had seen him before on my 80 lock on another server, but didn't bother to kill him then. Since my 78 had yet to have killed anything for Northern Exposure, I decided to solo this guy.

He is quite hard to follow around on a normal flyer . Nevertheless, I pulled him around south of Aldur'thar, where he pats on a archway that is clear of mobs. I was wearing my best stam gear , and was in a 0/41/30 spec .

Got him to 80%, alt-tabbed to change to a diff song, then to 35% then grabbed a shard right quick, soulshattered, then did a fun incinerate, health funnel, soulfire rotation.

Took about 3-4 minutes, the felguard actually lived , and I got a boomkin version of the bracers and the standard 20g and 20 cloth.

Commento di vengy

my NpcScan picked him up while i was at the dalaran inn. any explainations? i went mad lookin for him hopin he'd b somewhere close but obviously it wouldnt make sense for him to be...he eventually died while i was targeting him.

Commento di 336588

Soloed him as an 80 elemental shaman. Had to follow him around for a good spot to kill him. He hits like a truck and he stuns to. Had to pop heroism and earth elemental totem and killed him.

Commento di fang620

Soloed as an MS warrior (80)
Found a spot without any hostiles, pulled with Heroic Throw. (Commanding Shout was already on)
Applied Rend, Thunder Clap, Demo Shout and stacked 5 Sunders.
Frenzied Regen, Overpower, Bladestorm.
At the end of that BS I was at around 60% life with Putridus Hovering around the 30% mark. With all the debuffs already on him and Rend ticking away, the last 30% was cake.

As many before me have said, the biggest key here is to catch him away from all the other mobs in the zone.

Commento di 74836

Spawns around 67 64, sprints north to around 60 40 area then begins his slumberous patrol counterclockwise untill he meets corp'rethar then turns around and returns.

Commento di TheNerdWonder

Found him today, fighting the elite mobs in front of the burning Horror Gate. They killed him in under 10 seconds. If this isn't a bug, it's bloody stupid.

Commento di Faradize

hes so huge. npcsan found him when i was inside the dalaran sewers

Commento di 386992

Found him unintentionally with NPCScan while outside the northern bank in Dalaran. Flew over to Icecrown and located him around 68, 61. Switched to BM spec and downed him with my gorilla.

He walks extremely fast so fly to the front of him a little ways before you land. Easy kill. My loot included a Giant's Toewrap of the Marksman.

Commento di Donnis

He doesn't count for "Taking Battle To The Enemy". :(

Commento di Krateros

Recently i've installed the add-on NPCScan from curse and today i was in DALARAN, in front of Mel Francis to be more precise and my add-on actually spotted him....all the way from DALARAN to where he was when i got there (66.5 53.2) in ICECROWN, so either he has the most incredible /tar range ever seen because he's a giant or...NPCScan does miracles

And if you're wondering if i killed him, when i spotted him he had 50% HP because a hunter was attacking him, then a 78 DK tried to kill him but died, then i tagged him and killed him easily

Today's lesson is : Go get NPCScan if you hunt rare spawns

Commento di 419361

Today I was in dalaran, alliance side at the portals. Was just talking to someone when Npcscan told me Putridus the Ancient was spotted, so i clicked on the animation, and I targeted him, but i couldn't find him though. Since when does this mob appear or can be targetted in Dalaran?

Commento di chicknlil25

_npcscan triggered this guy from the sewers of Dalaran, and once I got close enough that rare finder gave me the exact coordinates (near Corp'Rethar), I was dismayed to find that he was in an area that was apparently phased out to me. I was able to target him, but not see him. A hunter that I could not see presumably killed him.

Anyone know what quests I would need to complete (or have already completed) to make this area inaccessible?

Commento di 67080

Very easy to solo as shadowpriest, VE almost outhealed him

Commento di 392507

Was standing in dalaran waiting for my raid to pop full when my NPC scan suddenly warned me about Putridus! Quite astonishing how far npcscan targets the rare elites!

took him down as an 80 enhanchement shaman. hitted quite hard but my wolfs owns.

Commento di 428486

Very solo'able. I solo'd him on my 80 Boomkin, in pvp spec and pvp gear. had to heal once, but I had 3 non-elite mobs on me other then the rare. Dropped 18g, 20 frostweave, 8 eternal water, and the bracers.

Commento di Zeuter

He spawns in the middle of The Conflagration, just north of Corp'Rethar.

From there on, he assumes his patrol route as described on the map.

Commento di Takamuri

I can confirm that you can still target him in Dalaran. I was standing outside of the Toy Shop when _NPCScan detected the rare.

Commento di 432244

This was a very strange thing, I was running around in dalaran when my NPC scan showed that I found this guy in the MIDDLE of dalaran! I was wondering wtf and target him even, and when I tried search for him I couldnt find him (Flew to Icecrown and checking) it was so strange

Commento di 338612

I was initially camping on top of Aldul'thar (54.0, 39.7), so that I could see Putridus coming from The Conflagration or from The Broken Front.

After the Maintenance, I noticed that Putridus always came from The Broken Front:

Tuesday 12:57PM - reached 59.8, 40.3 but was killed by a Blood Elf Paladin
Wednesday 2:57AM (14 hours later) - reached 61.7, 41.9 - I initially tagged Putridus among the Bone Giants and Decomposed Ghouls. I was killed, was invited to join another group while in spirit form, but wasn't given credit for the kill! (The GMs said I wasn't part of any group.)

Frustrated, I began camping at 66.6, 50.3 where there were few mobs.

Thursday 11:03PM - (20 hours later) - spawned right in front of the Bone Sentinel, 67.6, 58.8. Putridus stood for a while before moving out towards The Valley of Lost Hope. I frantically typed for help in General chat but since no one was replying, and since I saw someone else moving in, I had to attack.

After about a minute, I got Putridus! Thanks to the two other Alliance players who came seconds later to help out.

Commento di 440701

why did this rare appear on my npcscan while i was in dal @ the VH door? i targeted him via npcscan but couldn't attack him since he is in icecrown lol.

Commento di 454862

I targeted him from the engineer's shop so probably his model is loaded from the whole dalaran area (npcscan uses this)

Commento di NelleRavencrest

Corpse spotted 11:11 on Ravencrest EU

I wen't there and camped him from 17:00 (~ 6 hour after initial spotting)
He respawned 18:21 at the gate close to Icecrown (Where you do Dailys on horse). So a respawn of 7 hours and 10 minutes

So its not a 6 hour respawn, but perhaps 6-8 hours - Happy camping guys !

Commento di hannibalektr

Yeah my targeting addon picked up in Dalaran! He was all the way (dead by the time i got there) in icecrown at 69.60... Now that is insane!

Commento di 462016

Got a hit today and ended up chasing him as he was traveling towards the horror gate and then back again. Two failed attempts and a death resulted in me racing to catch up only to find a Paladin attempting to beat him in the middle of a field of mobs.

Needless to say, the Paladin didn't last long. I followed him until I reached a place with minimal mobs, the gates near Dalaran) and leapt into the fray with my pet (Survivalist Hunter).
Was just able to down him just, as my own health was almost out, Fiented death to get the other off my back and claimed my prize.

So word of warning... Don't just jump into the fray with him, or you'll get swarmed with mobs.
Defineately a case of 'look before you leap'.

Commento di ellesion

This guy is so huge, he can be targetted from dalaran if he walks halfway icecrown. my addon picked him up while i was just trolling in trade chat.

Commento di 361216

If you want to find this guy as soon as he pops, I would suggest getting the _NPCScan addon. He popped up as soon as he respawned. The addon is great if you need to find other rare mobs (especially for Spirit Beasts, hunters! ;] )

Commento di 461730

Spawn timer?

I found this guy twice...1st when i saw him ..got dc ..1 min ..and he was dead...
2nd my Npc scan target him from Dalaran ..i hurried to Icecrown and ofc dead :S
Unlucky
What is the spawn timer?

An example of how far away this npc can be seen from:

http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/9401/putridus.jpg

I was in my kitchen having a smoke while afk here when I heard my npc scan alarm go off, (gotta love wireless headphones) I was a little surprised when I ran to my pc and found a live rare targeted. He was a couple of hundred yards from the infra green bomber daily structure in the bombardment when I caught up with him, I could see him as a red circle on the map the entire flight from dalaran before he came in to view.

Commento di 487456

lol i have a rare npc Scanner that alerts me when a Rare is in targeting range XD it found this guy when i was siting in Dalaran 0.o it was wierd kus after i left dal and headed twords him i could no longer target him then when i went back in dal i could target him again

Commento di 346361

first time i ever saw this big dude my npcscan_ went off when i was in scourgeholme, he died right near the broken front and my heart jumped and then figured, damn, hes dead, 2nd time i hearthed after finishing a UP and my npcscan_ went off and i got happy again, but he was dead, again. 3rd time he was alive and i was up at the argent tournament, i run to him figuring "sweet nobody tagged him yet =D" and i run up to him aggro him and when hes around 50k this priest starts dotting me, and i got 2 elites on me, this DK and boomkin run up, kill the priest, wait for me to die, and then they tag him at 12k. Then i got soooo @#$%ed b/c the druid didnt even say ty. Last time i ever saw this guy was today, i was heading to kill chillmaw and i run into this guy but as soon as i land i see this spriest trying to solo him, i kill the spriest and finally kill him =D Soloed as a 80 DK tank

Moral of the Story : This guy spawns, A LOT.

Commento di 488946

I was just standing in Dalaran, and my npcscan went off.
I was able to target him, and even set focus.

Sortly after, i watched him die. But never could see him.
Is he bugged?

Commento di 437185

Killed him at 53.2, 41.0. my Npcscan popped up while i was in Dalaran, I will upload a screenshot

There is generally alot of drama over this rare spawn in PvP realms, since lot's of people will have npcscan and be flying around icecrown doing dailies etc. I'd also suggest you wait for him to move away from the Ghouls otherwise your almost guarenteed to die (Without a healer).

Commento di Aenonar

NPCscan wen't off like crazy when flying around in Storm Peaks, at first I thought I had finally found time-lost, as the icon was yellow as well. But quickly noticed that it wasn't :(

Couldn't find the mob I had targeted though, but when I glanced over towards Icecrown while in the Vrykul village I could see a tiny name tag far off in the distance. Indeed massive targeting range :S

Mistook him for a super hard rare-elite, so called for backup from one of my healers on the alt account, but before I could get it there it was already tagged by an alliance hunter that messed up so damn bad that I thought he'd die. He ran around all over the place picking up up to 5 adds and almost died. But another allied hunter jumped in at the last second and helped him, unfortunately...

Commento di 509130

Just downed him a few minutes ago at Aldur'Thar. Horde shaman had allready tagged him by the time i got there, but he was flagged for pvp and a nearby caster killed him, and while he was being attacked i ran over to the gate and tagged Putridus. Solo'd easily as an 80 blood Dk. Dropped "of the Bandit" 15g 20 frostweave cloth and 3 crystalized earth.

Commento di 152547

found this guy with npcscan in the middle of dalaran and I was like "WTF" so I looked it up on this page, flew to ice crown as fast as I $%^&ing could, looked for a while and found him. Tried to kill him , put my retarded #$%^ing pet bugs in the middle of the @#$%ing fight. The rare mob resets and gets 100% hp etc. I try to kill him now ( with all cd's gone etc ) but get swarmed by all the elites around him. He rape me, I die.

Run back to my corpse just to found out he is dead.

fffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Commento di 510626

People are saying things about the target radius on this guy, I think it comes down to your level of detail settings, if you have it set real high the game will attempt to load mobs which aren't even visible, I've had this happen with NPCScan on a number of occasions where it would detect a mob before it was loaded in the game, my setting are set to max.

Commento di Exorsist

Early morning. Woke up, logged on, got my dalaran daily fishing quest and went to the sewers for that jewel. After 2 casts - BAM! Npcscan pops up.
My reflexes took the best of me - equiping all my tanking fear (im a feral druid), running towards the dalaran flight master and flying down. While doing all of that, I automatically opened www.cuckhead.com/wotlk, found his route and this rather helpfull comment -

Due to his size, targeting macros can tag him even if he's halfway across the zone, so keep that in mind if your macro gets a hit but you don't see him in your immediate area.

Caught up with him in the center of icecrown, tagged him (a long with other creeps) and went ninja on his a**. He went down in a minute or so, and just before I was flying away, I saw like 4 horde rushing to him - only to find his dead body.

I always welcome a blue and a bag with 22gold and a stack of frostweave.

This NPC is the most annoying I've found so far. Twice I've encountered him and lost him to another player.
The first time I targeted him with my macro I searched for several minutes up and down trying to find where he was patrolling without losing sight of him. It was very frustrating to see his health start to die down because someone else found him first.
The second time I found him I chased him all across the map trying to kill him. I died twice since he happens to patrol through endless armies of elites and then AGAIN someone tagged and killed him. I HATE being a clothie in this situation. I lose it to a paladin every time.

Ready to punch someone in the face.

Solo'd as an 80 Disc priest with Naxx/Triumph gear. Either they fixed the targeting problem or he had just spawned as I had been flying around the area for about half an hour for tournament dailies before NPC_Scan picked him up.
He's really easy for healing classes, just HoT yourself up and use whatever instant damage you can manage, he'll interrupt every once in awhile, but cake other than that.

NPSscan detected this in Dalaran. The guy is huge. Found it at Mod'rethar
He's a huge mob for /target.

Okay... So today I was standing in Dalaran Sewers and all of a sudden I hear a warning sound and NPCscan says that it found this dude. I could target him but I could not attack him, I flew outside of dalaran because I thought he must be in Crystalsong forest and then he dissapeared from my target... How the hell and what the hell was he doing near dala, or was it NPCscan that was playing me a trick? I could target him and such, I have no idea what happened.

Soloed as a holy/disc priest in mediocre pvp gear. Not a problem in the slightest, no kiting required. Had been camping the area southwest of Aldur'thar since there are only neutral fallen hero mobs running in that area, and they do not assist. Putri spawned at 9:55 or so server time in the conflagration and pathed right into the narrow valley where it was relatively easy to take him down with ease. The argent tournament daily to kill converted heroes brings a fair amount of traffic to the area and theres some risk of losing him, but I was very lucky no one was there at the time :) Definitely wait for him in a safe spot, and do NOT wait on the east side of aldurthars gate if you choose that spot, as a couple of ghouls run right up onto it every now and then.

Note about his SPAWN point:

From various things I'd read, I always thought he spawned over near Dalaran by the Broken Front. Today however, I was flying to do my Citadel quest and he spawned right in front of me by the Horror Gate.

Point being: He may spawn by the Broken Front, but not always.

Happy Hunting!

Definitely just popped up in The Violet Citadel in Dalaran, scared the crap outta me... somehow I doubt he's in the immediate area. :P

just spawned on my server (skullcrusher) 12:15 but he died to what i can only assume as the fabled elite mobs because he went down quick but he wasn't grayed out so i guess it was another mob...this is extremely stupid because whats the point of a rare if you can't even get to him before he gets killed by other mobs? he spawned then ten seconds later he was getting killed...had no time to get to him from the top of Icecrown

_NPCScan goes off all over Icecrown when he pops and can be seen from the Tourny area. He walks VERY fast and can hit like a truck. Since the NPCScan area for this mob is so large, many people will swarm to him. I just add those as they show up to help fight for credit.

The Fel Reaver mention is very accurate. Moves as fast or even faster. Just watch out you do not pull too many add around him when you land.

killed him today with my holy paladin, very easy to spot as hes bloody huge, got toe wrap of the invoker

Commento di Allakhazam

I chased this guy from the Broken Front all they way into Icecrown Glacier. He moves very fast (faster that run speed) and hit hard, but I was able to solo as a 80 demo warlock. He also renders from extreme distances like Fel Reavers, so it's easy to find him if he's up.
