Cho'Rush can spawn as 3 different classes: Priest, Shaman or Mage. You can tell his class by looking at his weapon. At th-cam.com/video/rYViY4-roUc/w-d-xo.html you can see his staff has a glowing pink gem on the tip, this tells you he is a mage and won't heal the boss :)

The arena is still considered to be indoors so roots won't work during the fight :( - While it's not shown in the video I started to use Feral Charge to interrupt his casts while also rooting him. It's not the most essential tool to have but it can help in a pinch. I guess if you're really crazy you could also use the Gnomish Net-o-Matic Projector but I can't say I've tried it myself :P

Try applying just Corruption to one and watch him cast Dispel Magic on himself. I imagine with the multiple DoTs and debuffs Warlocks can throw onto a target, the dispelled magic doesn't really affect much. Moreover, the cooldown is longish, which is probably more than enough time for a well geared Warlock to delete one before it can cast it again.

The mobs are RNG, sometimes you'll see packs with 2 Apparitions, for example. The packs will always be the same number and in the same places though.

have u tried in bear/cat form?

yes they can just dont prehot and hae a ppotion and swiftend youll be fine

Ty :)

Zperl :)

Aerym Thank you so much

Nah the cloaking device doesn’t break combat anymore, Blizz patches it a while ago. I have another vid that shows how you can use feral charge to save you.

I wouldn't say that Balance is mandatory but it helps a lot with efficiency. As long as you have a decent mana pool/regen you can probably do this the same way but it will take a bit longer (though I only had 150 spell power, if yours is much higher it might not take that much longer) ^_^

@@aerym5547 Thanks for your answer, I have only like 75 spellpower. Guess ill try it with HotW spec to see how I cope, nearly 7k mana unbuffed also does something. Maybe my fire reflector also helps abit with incoming damage.

Best of luck! 7k mana should allow you to be more aggressive with your Moonfires to save some time :D

@Xiranhi how did it work out? I'm the same spec as you with very similar gear. 85 sp. I don't have the target dummies but I was thinking in my full mitigation gear I could pull this off.

Just Zperl ^_^

Yup! Feral Charge and Bash are great tools to buy some distance/time to fix your positioning against Cho. I didn’t use them in the vid but I should have at several points.

You should still be able to make the jump. However if you can’t, you can dispel the debuff because it’s a curse.

It’s all in the description.

Great to hear it worked for you :D I absolutely prefer doing the back wall kite method too, it saves almost 10 minutes overall. As for double Apparitions, you can pull them back like you would with Kalendris until you get to the corner at the top of the ramp. From there let them come around the corner and hit one of them with moonfire/insect and then jump off the ledge. Jump back up about 5 seconds later (I think on the side I use you need to go back to where I jump up during the boss fight) and let them come around the corner again and repeat until dead.

Ahh hmm. I’d say pre hot at the ramp and sprint up to the door (in stealth) to have at least Regrowth going.

@@aerym5547 id suggest noggenfogger elixir to fix the hitbox issue, much easier and already used in brd coffers

@@LousyZoot I've never thought to use a Noggenfogger because I thought it didn't interact well with shifting (derp, how wrong I was). Thanks for the info~

You don’t have to if you don’t want to. That hound has aggro’d about once in 10 fights when the King’s pathing breaks and he walks out a little. I did it here for safety and completeness.

Aerym Alright, thanks :)

Oh yeah I should actually edit that out. It's viable, especially if you find buyers for the rings/weapons. My other video shows a much better way to do it.

@@aerym5547 Guess that depends on your definition of viable but 10-15g/hr just isn't in my mind (which is what I was making farming Mara, and I saw you say this is basically equivalent to Mara in your comment on the other post). Can make that much just running regular 5 mans. Meanwhile most other classes in similar gear to me can easily make 50/hr on the low end.

Oh that’s strange. I had assumed Mara farming with Ghost Mushrooms and Blackstone Ring sales (assuming 1 per hour) was hitting the 40-50g/hr mark. Regardless about that though, you can make about 50g/hr on average from tribute runs if you are an enchanter (assuming you’re not selling the rings etc to people). To break it down: the boss drops 2 blues and possibly a book. That’s about 5g from large brilliant shards (4g vendor). The chest will have on average, 4 pots, 5 blues/greens and water/food. If you low rolled and got the schematic, got 4 healing pots and 2 non-weapon, non-trinket greens/2 blues you’re looking at a minimum return of 40s + 4g + 2g + 5g = 11g40s (about 10 if you vendor the gear). So a total of about 16g per run, 32g an hour with no selling to players and getting the absolute worst items (rarely happens). If you high roll you get: 2 shards from boss (5g), a book (let’s say 10g), trinket (6g vendor), staff (7g vendor), mace (7g vendor), green item 1 (2x eternal essence, ~8g), green item 2 (8g), 6 mana pots (10g). For a total of: 61g per run, moving all the way up to 120g per hour. For the record, yes I have actually high rolled this before but only once. I’ve blabbed on a little too much I think but I hope it gives you some hope.

I should also add, 32-120 is not an average of 50 on paper but the reality of my experience was it tended towards 50g (weapons are relatively rare). So are books.

@@aerym5547 Thanks for all the info. I will def give it a shot soon. In Mara my issue was that with my gear, it was 50/50 whether I could kill princess. She sometimes stops and farts after hitting you once, but sometimes just keeps following you around the entire room. Seems completely random and there was no way to survive if she kept continuously hitting and never farting.

If the summon transfers aggro to you when it’s dismissed I don’t see why not. Though just remember that the boss will reset if you don’t hit him after 10-15 seconds.

Awesome!!

Yup!

That’s the final piece to the puzzle imo. I wonder if there is a mod or something that let’s us know, otherwise the only way to know is to see his weapon just after passing the captain.

@@aerym5547 Try to use engy 'Ornate Spyglass' (doesn't require profession) - it draws entities in its sight. If it does the same through the wall - you can target literally anything in the dungeon if you know where to look.

@@PowerXsardi2 I'll try it out and see if it works :3

​@@aerym5547 Very late reply but I figured out a way to do this using the ornate spyglass + the Weakauras addon. Stealth to the ramp before the locked door and use the spyglass in the direction of the King's room and target Cho'Rush. I've got a Weakaura that shows Cho'Rush' full model if i have him targeted so I can see what weapon he's wielding which allows me to save the target dummy / seaforium charge. Screenshot of how it looks: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/516417908461797378/773529498330726440/chorush.png It only loads out of combat so it won't be covering up your screen when you're in the middle of fighting. Link to the Weakaura addon: www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/weakauras-2 Link to the specific Weakaura i'm using: wago.io/puPKp-6Hc

@@kolmar9876 That's awesome! I never thought I'd see a way to know which Cho'Rush we get before wasting a ton of mats, great work :D

Completely avoiding Cho is theoretically possible but you'd have to be absolutely perfect. If the king ever catches you while you actively avoid Cho you're going to die (sometimes they'll go in opposite directions). But the second issue is that Cho Priest will use heal when the King is below 50% which will drag the fight out for a very long time. I have a second video up which pretty much addresses a lot of the major issues of this proof of concept run. With the logging out to break combat and using a character reset the run is actually a viable gold farm at about 50g/hour minimum. (I've got enough gold for my epic mount purely through these runs)

It didn't work when I tried it, LoS and range issues. You can use the ghosts to charge forward though, instead of using Dash.

Yup, I learned of that after making this proof of concept video. Luckily now I think I’ve eek’d out all the tricks for the run. I’m kinda tempted to make another video of a perfect run but don’t really want to flood this channel with 3 of the same run xD

I felt so sad when I found out about that, I had already done about 5 kills up to the point in this vid :(

I believe there are other equivalent farms a Druid could do solo ie princess/Mara, RFD shards (depending on your server economy of course). But if you can successfully sell items like the Elven Ring then I’d say this is a good contender. For example: I get about 2 kills an hour, 20-30g per run. So about 50g per hour which is ok. If I can sell the ring/staff/mace for 25g that can jump up to 100g/hour (not to mention treant’s bane). You also get 3 potential book spawns and the King can drop a random book too. Lastly, and I know this is a long reply, for every run you don’t get the mage you can kill the packs of carrion swarmers and Mol’dar, which will increase your efficiency if you can do it in 12 mins or less (instanced lockouts). Tl:dr - decent gold farm without selling. Very good if you can sell.

Added note: killing Guard Mol’dar has a chance of dropping the shackle key which lets you have a shot at the goblin’s cache for his epic patterns etc

Unrest - The End of Raging Winds :)

I couldn’t make it work more than 5% of the time without charge. You’d probably need to use the highest level dummy to buy enough time or have a full tanking set on. You might also have a chance with the gnomish mind control cap. I’ve never tried those though!

I should also add, you can use the cloaking device for a once off save too.

@@aerym5547 can you use an invisibility potion to open the door without being detected?

Sorry I didn’t see this before :( You can’t use an invis potion to open the door safely unfortunately.

try a Limited invulnerability potion

Ahh I should have put that note in this vid too (my proof of concept vid mentioned it). Basically the Priest is impossible, the fear is too much. The Shammy might be possible with enough patience (and I mean A LOT of patience). What I usually did was; if I saw the Priest or Shammy I reset the instance with a second character or I would simply run out and reset.

The only ways (that I know of) to open that door is to: Kill Guard Mol'dar for his key, be an Engineer, be a Blacksmith or bring a Rogue with high enough lockpicking.

Just to add on to what Aerym is saying... being a Blacksmith is NOT very efficient as I believe it requires a Arcanite Skeleton key which requires acanite bars to make... $$$. Engi or Rogue is the best way.

I have a full list in a comment below, I'll copy it into the description :)
