To get to Malas the Corrupter, enter the crashed Necropolis at 59, 79 and make a right. Go up the path of green stepping stones (located on a ramp) and you'll see an tunnel at the top (60, 80). Go through the tunnel and follow the path to the top of the Necropolis.

If you're trying to solo him be aware that he will use this constantly:

Wavering Will - Increases the time between an enemy's attacks speed by 25%, slows its casting speed by 20%, and slows its movement by 50%. Lasts 15 sec.

Comment by Chancakes

She is stunnable.

Comment by Zentoph

Solod as a 75 protection warrior.

Be sure to remember she is stunnable, and reflect the wavering shadows to her. Don't stand in the fire!

Comment by lillbrorsan

Just soloed on my 77 BM Hunter with DPS pet :D

Comment by 170174

Just solo'd as level 75 Hunter, using a gorilladin. Popped everything just to make sure it got done, gorilla even survived :D

Didn't seem to get a knockback either which was good.

Comment by 141846

Easy soloable as Warlock with Metamorphosis spec.

Comment by 207172

thought to mention that it spawns on top all the way to the top and not inside the room that looks like an abomination factory. i waited inside that room for 15 minutes before i realized i was in the wrong spot

Comment by cedricm

Yes it is useful to know how to solo.

If you aren't interested in the strategies don't read them and don't rate them down.

Let the other profit.

Comment by Luciferno

"If" You have a Flying Mount Its just as easy to land on the top away from Malas. But the above post is Correct If no flying mount is accessible at that time.

Comment by Draklor

I soloed her as a 77 frost mage, was hard but I did it first try. Used my healing pots, mana gems and went thru a few ice barriers and mana shields, just don't stand in the fire and use the water ele to agro bounce her. And frost mages should not have a problem

Comment by Nixia

can be soloed as demonology warlock level 75 or over

Comment by Okrim

Soloed as mutilate rogue... lvl 70 badge/t5 gear. Hard, but doable.

Comment by goto2

difficult but possible on a warrior, wear tanking gear and keep enough rage to always spell reflect "Raging Shadow", it has a 3 second cast time, it does about 1800 damage and will stun the mob.

Comment by 240277

Solo'd as 77 enhanc shaman. fight was easy. Healing stream, SOE, Winfury, and Fire elemental totems and my wolves out before pulling to next to the fire. What i didn't realize that there was a hole and mid way through the first i fell through. The fall actually helped a bit gave me time to cast yet another instant heal, as Malas ran down to get me. Met Malas mid way up stairs and popped Shamanistic Rage to reduce damage since my wolves were gone at that point.

Comment by 246797

I solo's him as a 76 prot. warrior, i have around 18k armor, and 17k health, when the fight was done i had 2k health left. it was a tough fight.

Comment by 70948

Soloed as a 76 Deathknight. Was specced along the lines of 16/0/51. For the most part, spend your runes mainly on keeping your diseases up and deathstriking as much as possible. Use Icebound Fortitude every time the cooldown comes up and anti-magic shell as well. The gargoyle in the unholy tree can help a lot in dropping his health down to decrease the amount of time the fight takes. If your blood make good use out of your Mark of Blood ability and use dancing rune blade whenever possible to decrease the amount of time the fight takes. Decreasing the amount of time the fight takes increases the chance that you will survive. In the end, the key is to keep your diseases up and runes free for deathstriking.

Comment by Dethday

Solo'd with 74 Frost DK using only diseases/death strike, icebound, shell, death pact, gift of the naaru. was close but when pretty fast (also 2her in frost presence)

Comment by 36692

Soloed as a 75 Blood spec Death Knight. Put some tank gear on, keep Death Strikes and diseases up, move out of the fire thing she places on the ground underneath you. Easy match, not a pot used.

Comment by 6638

Solo'd as a 77 feral druid. Did the kitty "stunlock", then went bear and hit Berserk. She died with me having about 4k HP left, but didn't use any pots or Frenzied Regen. Much harder than Ursoc, but easily doable.

Comment by Derevex

Her spells are interruptable, just to make things easier.

Comment by 264878

As usual 2-man group quests are soloable by demon spec locks. But this was so easy it took me by surprise. I did it at lvl 75 from the first attempt.
Sent in the felguard first and stead at distance. I kept my Curse Of Agony, Immolate and Corruption on the cycle at all times, and in between kept healing my minion. Didn't do any more dps not to steal it's aggro. The fire it casts does constant damage on the minion but was no match for health funnel+fel armor. In fact i stopped the channeling several times because the fel was at full hp already. In what felt like less than 2 mins it's 80k+ hp was gone. Kept the pants from quest reward.

Comment by 255890

Soloed her as a lvl 78 shadow priest
Just kited her around in circrles casting dots and midblasts, dispelling the slowing move as soon as she casts it.

Comment by Nolimit

Soloed at 76 sm/felguard warlock. Got pat to tank her down until he ran out of mana( with my constant dots on her) and then just nuked her. Didn't even need pet to tank, easy.

Comment by 105172

Soloed her with no major problems as a 76 Balance druid with 1,2k spell power. Basically just kited her around and around the top, healing with HoTs and keeping Moonfire and Insect Swarm up all the time. Also used treants in the beginning.

Resto druids will have an even easier time soloing her as they can outheal her damage easily, even with poor gear.

Comment by 268040

Soloed as 75 shadow priest with 1360 spell power. As someone stated, do a full rotation to begin with (VT=>SW:P, MB=>DP, MF).

Then shield yourself and run around the ring (don't fall, but it might be a good idea to clear the single mob below in case you do). Keep SW:P and DP on him and if you gain some distance, use MF to refresh SW:P. Always dispel his slow effect on you (might also be useful to have a pvp trinket to remove his stun if you get low in health).

Had to pop a healing pot and unSForm to heal once before he died. Not too bad.

ps. Don't run too far away (if you get to the opposite of the circle as him), he'll reset.

Comment by 274213

Soloed as a lvl 78 forst mage. Was very hard and i succeded on 3rd try :) Just kited him around with ice lance and fireblast... When he got to close i used Iceblock and made him attack my Water Elemental. Used coldsnap and repeated. Used Deepfreeze everytime fingers of frost where up.

Comment by 149716

Soloed as 77 elemental shaman. Don't use your flame shock, you need earth shock for interrupts(yes earth shock). kite, use grounding whenever its up. User your fire elemental and make sure that once it dies to drop your searing totem. Heal as needed

Comment by 67080

Soloed as 78 shadowpriest, went quite tight. Blackout procs help a lot :>

Comment by 66741

Died in end toh , not cause of mob , killed her healed my self up looted my q item and rand off the ramp , met ground at hig speed so had to corpse run :P

Comment by 29807

There is a difference in posting a stategy and just posting "i solod it" useless posts. The useless ones should be marked down. The last thing we want is for this place to become another thottbot.

Comment by Nain

i tried soloing him on my alliance ele shaman, he was just hitting too hard(around 1k, stuns, and have to avoid aoe fires) so i died. i saw an orc death knight down below so i /wave at him and /point at the tower. trying to get him to help me. Good thing he needed the quest too because he was /point at Malas, I /nod and /ready. He charged in and down him no problem. I then /wait and he /nod. My attempt failed because the death knight used this one move where a sword appears and copys all of his moves and it killed me. I don't think he knew that it was his own ability that killed because on our third attempt, he used the same move but much later during the fight so it wasn't that big of a deal.

I know, useless information but I thought it was a neat story.

Comment by 255660

I solo'd as A level 75 Orc Hunter, wasn't that hard at as has about 66k health level 76 elite

Comment by 182068

As a 77 shadowpriest, u can easily solo her.
tips :
Until ur PW:S breaks, use all ur offensive spells
When it breaks, heal yourself
Heal urself with flash heal while he dps you, when Weakened Soul ends, re-shield yourself and get back into Shadowform to use all ur abilities once again
Use ur Dispersion to reduce damage, as Shadowfiend will almost recover enough mana to kill her.

I didnt dispel her debuffs, but got out of fires as soon as she casts it

Comment by 131549

Was able to solo this as a L80 combat dagger rogue, completed with 24% health left. Based upon what I read above, I made sure that I buffed with the "mojo" 1hr buff for the area (gave me over 250ap iirc), a strength and stamina scroll, equipped wound poison to both daggers, then flew to the top of the structure near Malas.

Stealthed, then Cheap Shot, Backstab, Adrenaline Rush, Backstab, spammed Sinister Strike , Kidney Shot w/5 combo, Backstab, spammed Sinister Strike 'til 5 combos, then Evicerate, then Sinister Strike 'til done.

Toon had all Northrend Blues and 3 Trollwoven Epics. I think it would have been much, much closer without the scrolls and the "mojo" buff.

Good luck to all and thanks to those who posted info about what to expect!

Comment by 285407

Is possible as a 76 holy priest...I basically used Holy fire to pull, then Shadow word pain: and continued to kite around the top of the structure...i used shield and renew when needed but kept up shadow word pain and holy fire....when he was down to ~8k health i just turned around and finished him off....if a 76 holy priest can solo this anyone should be able to

p.s. gear is bt/mount hyjal raiding gear

Comment by 202925

Tried to solo with a level 77 prot warrior. 18k health, ucrittable (536 def), 51% avoidance. Used battle shout to buff me, charged in, pop'd demoralizing shout, shield wall and started shield-slam/revenge/sunder rotation. I tried to interrupt his casting with the typical tools (shield-bash, revenge, concussion blow, shockwave). I used up the CD on last stand, enraged regeneration, etc. I got him to about 40%. Pretty confident that he's not soloable by a well equipped 77 prot warrior.

Comment by 293435

Very easy to solo the comments helped. I did it as a 76 DK nothing special just keep your diseases up and spam deathstrike to keep your health up. Using death and decay and the gargoyle will help out tremendously with that added dps since he does have 106k hp. Also make sure to move out of the AoE fire he does and not fall off, lol.

Comment by 266333

She will place a spell called "Burning Blaze" on the ground, which does 650 fire damage/sec. Just keep her moving and you will not be effected by this spell.

Comment by 267486

This quest rewarded only 15g87s for completing it at level 80. It did not reward the initial 12g40s cash reward additionally.

Comment by 102865

Tip for Mages:

Im pretty much full frost specced Mage and what I did is I popped out Pet, Icy veins, Barrier, started nuking, got lucky Fingers of Frost right at the beginning to get Deep Freeze. So I nuked, blinked away when he got to me and iceblocked. Then he gone to my pet, and I got more spare time to nuke. I was semi-oom, around 30% mana, and I actually fell of the edge to center 2nd floor of the Necropolis. There I evocated, coldsnapped, and got the bastard down to 3.7k hp and wiped.

Bleh. But basically, idea of this post is to say, that the elite will follow you down to 2nd floor, if you jump down. It takes him quite a while. You could kill 1 non-elite mob in the meanwhile, like I did. EDIT: So be sure to clear the center 2nd floor aswell. There is 1 mob chilling out.

EDIT2: Finally got him down, didn't follow the pattern I posted tho. All messed up, jumped down, kited him through the 2nd floor to 3rd and vice versa. Phew..

lvl76 frostmage, Wotlk leveling gear.

Comment by Alensia

76 frost mage, popped CD's trinket etc and gave him hell, IB when he was about to smash me so he went to water elemental, again nuek then just running aroung the top and spamming ice lance. Took me a mana gem. When he cast's that slowing-thingie I jumped down to the "abomination factory room" and evocated and continued running around icelancespam. Not easy, but doable.

Soloed easily when leveling my pally @75 ^^

Comment by 295692

soloed as a 76 affliction lock, only used Corr and COA, health funnel the voidwalker used soul shatter once, and it was about a 4 minute fight long but still solo.

Comment by alpanhell

I don't think this kiting advice works. As a resto druid I had no luck at all. First as the above poster says casts a 50% movement debuff and second if you kite around she resets. Barely even dented her.

Comment by Ravenor

78 blook DK. Absolute joke. Just keep backing up and topping yourself off with death strike and you'll be fine. And yea...don't fall off

Comment by heelbot

Solo'd as a ret pally at lvl 75, was hard but used bubble, LoH and had to healmyself alot but was able to kill him.

Comment by Lunaska

Soloed as a lv 80 holy priest 14/57 with lightwell.

Accidentally engaged while in PVP gear with ~1600SP, so had trouble with mana near the end.
Unable to fear, kept renew up, shield when CD up, and used lightwell. Had to fiend once.
Avoid the fire on ground at all cost and just SWP, holy fire, MB, smite, burn it down :)

Comment by 230127

As a frost/frostfire mage I found this VERY hard to solo. Lvl 77, wearing very good dungeon gear from Gundrak and the like.

What I kept attempting was starting with the icyveins+pewpew, then stunning with deep freeze if possible. When Malas got close I would drop my WE and start running, trying to get to max frostbolt/frostfirebolt range from my elemental. Then pew until ice barrier breaks (which is Very Fast) and then iceblock. Stay in iceblock while Malas heads over to the WE, making sure to hit Follow->Attack to get the WE out of the fire if she casts it on him. As soon as iceblock breaks make sure ice barrier is up and go back to pewing. This would get her down from 60k to ~20-30k, depending largely on fingers of frost (and thus also deep freeze) procs.

I think the trick is to keep kiting after that. It seems like if you kite from a longer range (~15+ yards) she doesn't hit you with the 50% speed debuff as often. The time that I finally got her down I did this, and just kept hitting her with icelance and fire blast whenever possible and keeping ice barrier up. Had to use a mana shield, health pot, and mana gem as well. It worked so well that last time that I think this may work well regardless of the elaborate WE+iceblock combo I was trying above.

Some tricks to this fight:
Frost nova mysteriously doesnt work, even though it's a mage's only real survival, while plate armor, healing, pets, etc. seem to work fine. The ring she's on is *just* too wide to shoot her across from, so it's tough to get any real range from her. Blink breaks between the purple platforms and the grey stone (of course) so you have to be careful to save until you first step on one terrain type.

The purple platform to the right of Malas has a crack going halfway through it. It's very small, but big enough to fall through. With the 50% speed debuff it's tough to jump over too. PLUS the height its at results in ~2500 falling damage. I also found that Malas reset almost every time I jumped or fell down to the 2nd floor. Even walking down the ramp reset her. A few times she didn't reset, but I'm not sure what made the difference. Her spider friends will aggro to you if she gets near them, and one even walks all the way up the ramp, so the adds are sure to wipe you. If you're having trouble, try jumping down (slowfall if almost dead) to reset the fight and avoid a corpse run.

Also beware that there's some really obnoxious terrain here. Some area can't be walked up randomly. At some places the purple platform can't be jumped onto either, making you walk back around to the ramp. On the stone ramp up to the top level, there's actually places on the ramp that you can't walk up either, which is annoying as it looks like a regular ramp. Being at the top of of a necropolis also meant some major framerate hiccups whenever I got near an edge and distant objects had to be loaded and drawn.

All in all, this fight is a pain in the ass. Like all the elites in BC content, it seems to be tuned specifically so that mages can't solo it, while most other classes in the game (with armor, pet, heals, or both) can do so easily. I'd recommend finding help on this one unless you want a challenge and don't mind dying. If you're on a low pop server like me and can't find anyone, I'd just drop the quest.

Comment by Grakkh

Soloed as hunter, although at 79 and ended up being close due to a few add respawns. I was survival, so pet had some threat generation issues - as BM it would've been easy. But kiting him is definitely possible, even with the slow debuff, as my pet died while Malas still had 26k HP and I had an add running after me as well, yet I managed to kite him down. You just have to be sure to move the pet occasionally to avoid the fires, which I failed at due to the adds and all.

Comment by 267257

Did him solo on lvl 76 pala, very hard but play good and you can solo him.

Comment by Khelek

Just soloed him as a 75 Blood DK, just what sworndeath34 said but I didn't have a gargoyle. Keep diseases up, use deathstrike as often as possible and keep out of the fire. Use empowered rune weapon when you need to for two more extra deathstrikes.

Far from easy, but not all that difficult. Just make sure you don't fall off the ledge like I did on my first try.

Comment by 48659

Comments above helped. Just work your way in a circle around the purple crystal where Malas is, backing out of the fire, so that you don't fall off.

Comment by Phlegethon

Soloed as a 75 feral druid.
Not very complicated. Important to note that you CANNOT shift out of his slow, but he CAN be stunned. Keep mangle and lacerate up, work your way around the circle to stay out of fires, and once your health starts getting low: wait until the very end of wavering will (keep an eye on the debuff duration) then bash and run 1/4 of the circle or so ahead and heal it up. Lather, rinse repeat.

Comment by sunsmoon

Prot Paladins -
Pull with AS, use exorcism on CD, aswell as all your normal tools. ;) Use Shadow Resistance aura and HOJ+Holy Wrath the Raging Shadows cast. Dispel the magic debuff and move out of fire.

Completed in this manner at level 77 wearing mostly instance/quest and 2.4 badge/za gear. Best BC pieces are T6 helm and Myrmidon's treads. Had Corrin's coin + Gnomer autoblocker. Also using the emblem +experience shoulders.

18.4k HP
19.4k armor
501 (4.64% crit reduction)
Crescent of Brooding Fury with Mongoose and Riot Shield with 18 stamina.

Comment by Tesla101a

Solo'ed as a 79 Holy Paladin, it took a long while as my DPS is low, but what seemed to work best for me was Seal of Righteousness (only seal a holy paladin can do decent damage with high spell power and low atk power), Judgement of Light, spamming the judgement, hand of reckoning, shield of righteousness, exorcism, holy wrath and hammer of justice to interrupt the casts. With shadow resistance aura up, the only time I took significant damage was when I was standing in the fire she summons. It's kind of a pain to get out of the way because she slows your movement speed. I did use holy shock on her a few times, but I think it would be best saved for healing when you get stuck in the fire so you can cast it on yourself AS you run out of the fire. Used Blessing of Wisdom (though I do have kings available to me) and with one Divine Plea was at max mana 90% of the fight.

Comment by 143684

Solo'd as a level 77 Enh shaman with quest/dungeon blues.

Dropped strength, flametongue, windfury, mana spring just out of the 30 yrd range, ran in and grabbed aggro before pulling her back to my totems. I spam earth shock as part of my dps rotation without really paying attention to when she casts, but I think it interupts her.

Popped feral spirit, their healing easily covers her damage, which is pretty low. Healed once using the insta heal from maelstrom.

Your damage should cause her to die long before you do as long as feral spirit is up.

Comment by 149372

i'm thinkin he was referring to kiting her out of the fires cause fire burns ;). because you are right that the movement debuff isn't very helpful.

solo'd easy as a 76 dk.

edit : after reading it again maybe he was kitin, which wouldn't seem to work well.

Comment by zanetheinsane

Incredibly easy as a hunter, even with a Tenacity pet. Use Intimidation every time it's up (as well as any other stuns you may have, warstomp, etc), pop rapid fire and every trinket or cooldown and just go all out.

Just make sure to keep mend pet up 100% of the time.

Comment by 313628

I finally managed to solo this as a Discipline Priest at level 78.
At first I made the mistake of confronting the mob face to face and died quickly.
After 4 more attempts I started kiting him around the roof(He stops to cast quite frequently,
and if you are far enough, his stun will miss you) while using only Shadow Word: Pain and Holy Fire while constantly dispelling his debuff to avoid getting stuck in the fire and keeping myself alive through shielding and healing(Renew was a great help since you don't want to stop moving for very long). It took a while and some help from the shadow fiend, but if a priest can do it, anyone can.

Comment by 231258

For those attempting to solo, he hits for about 1800 against cloth with 3500 armor. He also has an ae fire effect that ticks for 650 per second, and he stuns.

Comment by 315482

I was fine as a level 75 prot warrior with 14k health (popped last stand, one health pot, and lifeblood), 421 defense. They may have made this easier. Just keep moving out of the flames, keep up the stuns, and spell reflect whenever you see it casting Raging Shadows. Good reflexes help a bit - I managed to reflect Raging Shadows every time.

Comment by 317816

soloed as level 76 prot pally, 15,820 health, 456 defense, 18333 armor, just use the 96969 rotation, keep out of the way of the fire, heal when you're at 2/3 health and it wasn't too bad, didn't even have to bubble.

just fyi, the movement debuff can be cleared with cleanse, but malas puts it back on with his/her next attack so it's of little use to you

Comment by 69921

solod lvl 77 frost mage, cold snap, run around casting instants and let pets beat on her

Comment by 260369

Soloed as L77 Fury Warrior. Had Commanding Shout up and Blessing of Kings from Zim'Torga. I sat in Defensive Stance the whole time, Glyph of Bloodthirst and Enraged Regeneration healing me for quite a bit. The Raging Shadows spell can be Spell Reflected, and it definately should be.
I had about 9k HP (50%) after Malas died. No healing potion.

Comment by Koshica

Easily solo'd as a 76 ret pally, used everything except surprisingly my bubble, and stayed out of flames.

Comment by 324312

Soloed as 76 Arcane Mage

Use Slow - For Kiting
Use Mage Armour - Reduces Duration of Debuffs (i.e. the slows and random %^&*s)
Use Fire Ward - Absorbs Random Fire Damage
Use Dampen Magic - Reduces Magical Damage Taken (no one is healing you in this scenario)
Use Arcane Barrage - Main Source of Damage
Use Blink - In case he pulls close to you
Use Mana Gems
Use Mana/Health Potions (If required)
Use Evocate (If low Spirit)

I was talented into:
Arcane Attunement
Arcane Shielding
Impact (Fire Tree)
Magic Absorption
Improved Blink

Comment by 325905

Solo'd as lvl 76 Enh shaman using strat above. NP at all, popped feral spirits at 50% life and kept walking backwards out of the fire on the ground. I saved Maelstroms to help out with self-healing, but probably could have used a few insta bolts instead.

Comment by noles

Just soloed as a 75 shadow priest. Mostly quest/dungeon/crafted blues. Pretty simple fight. Bubble and allow weakened soul to cooldown so you can bubble immediately when its down. Start with shadowfiend to hold aggro while you place all dots, then just rotate mind blast/flay and redot when needed while continuously walking backwards to avoid his fire. Stun proc from blackout talent should help a good bit and use mind flay whenever you have some room. Though i didnt try it, it may work to turn and run quickly when you do proc blackout, then mindflay to slow his approach. Keep bubble up when you can and heal if you have to, as you most likely will. About halfway through the fight i had to pop dispersion to allow weakened soul to cooldown and it saved my ass as i was almost dead. I didnt worry about wavering will, was not a problem for me...Pretty easy fight if you keep on top of bubbling and healing.

Comment by nocturne

An Unholy Death Knight with Crypt Fever/Ebon Plague has a very easy time with this quest. Spamming Death Strike with three diseases up will allow you to pretty much solo this boss while standing steadfastly (or unwittingly) in the fire.

Comment by Vetox

If you remember Bixie , in Borean Tundra, she gives some quests in that Necropolis, is the same way..just keep right and go up to the top.

Comment by jmcgrath

Level 80 Holy Priest. Soloed it.

Opened with Holy Fire, SW:P, Dev Plague.. Bubble
She'll stun you every now and then.
She will also set the ground on fire (were you are standing) move out of this, (you are slowed down).

Pretty much just keep a renew on you, keep your dots up, Holy fire as usual and smite etc, Keep moving. And have your SHadowFiend at your finger tips should you run low on mana (>20% imo, since you could be trying to cast a Greather Heal and then you'd be stunned, so gives you more options having more mana - but thats obvious).

Immune to Fearing.

Quite a slow dance. 66k health.

If a Holy Priest can do this (80) then others 80s would have no problem eh?

(Doing this and all the argent crusade quests at 80 just for rep farming btw).

Hope this Helps. She is indeed on the top of the crashed Undead place, about 60/1, 77.

Comment by 18833

Solo'd as a 75 Death Knight (50/0/16)

Went in with Blood Presence, kept up the diseases, popped Icebound Fortitude, Mark of Blood, etc
Wasn't too bad. Backed out of the fires, got the debuff a few times, potted near the end just to be safe

Overall very soloable

Comment by 231088

but not shackable or fearable, much to my annoyment

Comment by 269640

Solo'ed as a moonkin because of all the posts saying you could kite him.

Some useful things to know are :

1. He is not rootable. So dont try.

2. Always keep enough distance and dont stop to cast long spells

3. Dont run too far ahead, if you do, he looses agro and resets

What I did was simply start the fight with a starfire followed by moonfire and insect swarm. You will see that the top of the necropolis looks like a square, make sure you dont go farther than one side away from him or he could reset. Also, when you use ur instants or dots, keep running, you must always be farther than your casting range from him or he will cast wavering will on you...

solo'd as 76 prot warrior, just had to keep all my cooldowns refreshed and stay out of the fire, the multiple stuns you have as prot are very useful for this fight

Comment by 339954

Soloed as a lvl 76 shadow priest the key to this fight is the ability to dispel magic since the slowing debuff is magic in nature and can be dispels just run around the platform doting her and dispels takes a few minutes but its more then doable not really that hard for any class that can dot and dispel that slow effect.

Comment by 333355

Solo'd as 75 BM Hunter with Gorilla Pet. Made sure I used all cooldowns when they were up and always kept a HOT on my pet. Take pet off "Defensive" whenever boss drops fire on the ground to move him out and "kite" him. Had to use a Mana pot.

Comment by 320108

Solo'd as a 80 MM Hunter. Pet was a gorilla to keep aggro going, but had to keep it on Passive so I could pull it back and reattack once she casts the fire. Also had Aspect of Beast on to avoid creating too much heat.
For whatever spec you may be employing, take out the one mob on the ramp prior to engaging her. I was able aggro'd it while standing above it. Very annoying to have it run up and attack me in the middle of the fight!

Soloed as a 76 Ret Pally

solo's as Feral druid lvl 76 ( cat spec ) . just be a bear and go berserk on him ^^

p.s
I suggest when he got 20K switch to cat and kill him fast

Comment by Sinverse

Soloed as 76 Holydin. Use cleanse it removes the slow effect! Without the slow you can easily get away from the fire and there were times I was even able to dodge the stun.

Comment by moparpower

This one is soloable. I did at 76 shaman. All you have to do is keep kiting her backwards and stay out of her fire.

Comment by peeweesweden

78 Enhancement Shaman
Flame Shock, Lava Burst, Feral Spirit. After that, I kept moving out of her fire and burned her down in a few seconds. And my level was never the issue, just interrupt her spells and you're fine.

Comment by 352625

Well, in 3.1 he's unsoloable. it now stuns as well as slows, and the stun is around the same duration as a paladin's stun.
the fire damage seems more than 650/second also. Combine this with much less healing from death strike, and you get killed.

Comment by 354315

As a 79 Arcane Mage it was very difficult even with kiting. My strategy was Frostfirebolt him until he was withing melee range then fall into the hole in the center (the abomination room, plus make sure the room is clear before you attempt) and kept hitting him hard. Without trinket help to boost spell power probably couldn't have done it. Very difficult for squishies.

Comment by 340883

Soloed 75lvl unholy/blood DK

If u stay away from the AoE and use and u ll be just fine...

if u have the talents]

Comment by 271963

I completed this as a 79 Ret Pally.

First watch out and take care not to fall of the platform. You'll lose your tag if another player comes along.

Keep a health pot ready (use lay on hands only for a dire emergency). Malas can be stunned so use HoJ every time it comes off cooldown. Preferably when it is about to cast. The fire spell is deadly. Move out of it immediately.

With some quick, well timed heals this quest is definitely manageable.

Comment by 117826

Soloed as a 78 assassination rogue. I opened with cheap shot, mutilated and had 5 combo points (thanks to critting on the mutilate). Right as cheap shot wore off, I used the 5 cp's for a kidney shot. Worked up 5 more combos with mutilate and did a cold blood envenom. Immediately hit evasion and continued dps'ing. I highly recommend walking backwards around the rim as you dps to avoid fire. I used kidney shot again once if was available, had to use on runic healing potion.. finished with 30% life.

Comment by 69027

Very easy as a 78 feral druid. Started out in cat form to get 35 seconds of 30% more damage (Savage Roar, i.e goodness) then went bear and just moved out of the fire when he had that down.
Edit: Why is this rated down? Im giving advice on how to kill the NPC as a feral druid and that can be helpful to alot of people.

Comment by AmonAglar

Looked all the way for a useful coment for a fire mage and didn't found one so there it is. Tried 2 times with FFB PvE spec - 53 17 (since I'm 79) failed terribly. Then switched to my pvp spec with breath, blast wave, impact etc. Started like this -> Combustion - pyro - living bomb then started runing around. The fight was spaming fire blast and living bomb, never stop. Trinket is not working against his debuff even tho it's applying slow effect. He got to me just once after 2 hits blazing speed activated removed the debuff and I went on the other side.
3 things that you should know:
1. Impact IS working. Use it.
2. Dragon's breath is not. Don't waste your mana.
3. Blast wave IS working - it's pushing him way back. That's the reason he got to me only once - blast waved him the other 2 times without taking damage. No potions used no block, just a sapphire.

Comment by 316035

Level 75 elemental shaman sick of getting slaughtered? Here's how I eventually managed it, with both elemental totems on cooldown.

Don't use Flame Shock; save Earth Shock for interrupting every single shadow stun. I was dying to being stunned inside the fire AoE so simply don't get stunned. Take your time, kite her around, interrupting and LBing when you have enough health.

Comment by 169679

lol why dont you just say its a solo kill? and ofc you can interrupt spellcasting there. all the info you need.

Comment by Thealoms

Soloable as a BM Hunter. just keep your pet out of the AoE fire!

do as much damage as you can before she casts the AoE fire and then Kite to get both yourself and your pet away ASAP.

repeat.

Comment by 156138

66k health, I thought ummm. I'll give it a try. Im a Warlock. I kept back, sent in my void and just sat back and gave DoT's and kept void alive with health funnel; took 4-5 mins to kill but was well happy wif the results. :D

Comment by 369872

I was able to solo this easily as a level 80 Retribution Paladin without using any health potions, but please note that my gear was mostly the best dps gear outside of raid drops.

I also tanked this with a 76 priest and it went easily as well as I kept the aggro on me and the priest was able to DPS it well.

Comment by 370026

No idea what you're talking about. Just solo'd as a 76 Retri Paladin with ease.
Simply keep exorcism going for the guaranteed crits, as well as holy wrath for the additional stun since she's undead.
Needed to heal a couple of times and use a mana pot. Nothing major at all.

Just move out of the fire that she lays down and use cleanse to dispel the debuffs, job done. You might need to use a bubble or a LoH depending on how geared/skilled you are.

Comment by Shiney79

Just an observation: What's with people referring to Malas as "she"? I don't think he looks particularly feminine and besides, it clearly states in the quest text that it's "he". Just my two dollars worth, spend it wisely.

Comment by prospider

Be careful. I just tried solo'ing twice as 76 DK, and she is nasty. She will spawn fire on the ground which rips through you like no tomorrow. Also, try to get lucky. I got unlucky, and 3 times she stunned me at the same time as a fire. Instant 2000 unmitigated damage. Also, she will use a slowing spell on you, so you will most likely take another 200-400 damage getting out. This is a difficult fight for a melee'r. I personally had to get an 80 to help me.

Comment by 385977

soloed as a 76 feral druid, put on your tank gear you can do the whole thing in bear form without pots just back out of the flames

Comment by 21986

He is a hard 2 man boss... I soloed plenty of 3 man bosses as a ret pally but this guy stuns a lot which prevents me from getting heals off when I need them. The stun lasts for a couple seconds and he does it maybe every 10 seconds. Makes it hard to heal.

Comment by 18431

solo'd as 77 ret pally pretty easily...bubbled when she was at like 10% and healed just to play it safe...stay our of fire and interupt when u can and u should b good

Comment by 370642

another "i solo'd her post"

75 prot paladin, devo aura, imp rightous fury, Blessing of Kings and Seal of Light.

it was a long fight and had a couple of close calls but stay out of the fire and keep holy shield and judgement of light up and you'll do fine. just wait for her health to run out.

Comment by 68122

Soloed as a 77 mutilate Rogue, I used Deadly Poison and Mind Numbing on weapons.

1 - I opened with cheap shot -> mutilate -> 5cp kidney shot (improved).
2 - Once the kidney shot wears off, start backing up around the rim to avoid the fire. After the first kidney shot, I did 2-3 mutilates to get another 5 points, then used slice n' dice. Use kick when she casts and use cloak of shadows when you get the debuff on you.
3 - I do another 2-3 mutilates to get 5cp and then I kidney shot again and bandage up (make sure you aren't in the fire!)
4 - Once kidney shot wears off I hit evasion. Do another 2-3 mutilates to get 5cp, I hit slice and dice again.
5 - 2-3 mutilates. You can either do a cold blood + eviscerate or another slice and dice (up to you).
6 - Drink a runic healing pot (pray that it crits)
7 - 2-3 mutilates to get 5cp. Hopefully by now the bandage debuff is worn off and you can do a kidney shot + bandage.
8 - Finish her off, should be almost dead.

Hope this helps, took me a few tries to get it down. Just vanish if you mess up or get caught in the fire too long.

Comment by 321814

Easy to solo with a lvl 75 Demo warlock, just keep the dots up and keep healing your pet..

Comment by 391253

This quest gave me quite a bit of trouble on my 76 DK but purely because i wasnt moving out of the way on the fire. If you do that its almost a guaranteed kill, once i moved out of the way, Death Striked it was easy

Comment by 393748

Just solo'd this last night as a 76 Human ARMS warrior; 13k HP, 26 % Crit in Battle, 2600 AP.

What I did was charge applied Rend + MS and immediately went to Blade storm; being weary of the AoE fire. Also, I popped Enraged Regeneration as soon as Blade storm was over. I was able to racial out of one of the stuns. When I got low on HP, I jumped down into the pit and bandaged while she came down around to me. Charged her and finished her off. Had 3/4 of my HP bar left when all was said and done.

Bring a runic healing potion, just in case RNG does not favor your damage.

Oh, and be sure to clear out the spiders in the pit and along the ramp so you don't have to deal with them when she's pathing down to you.

Comment by CapnCrunk

Easy to solo as a 79 Shadow Priest. Just keep DoTing and running and dispelling, turn around and MB and MF as you create space, keep bubbling and stay out of the fire pools.

Comment by 400057

Just solo'd as a 76 Shadow Priest. Sent in fiend first, dotted him up, then just kited, keeping up bubble and renew. Refresh dots as needed. Had to disperse for mana right at the end.

Comment by 411798

78 Feral Druid in Bear form.

Cast Rejuvenation and Regrowth before pull, drink quickly and pull when mana is full. FFF, Demoralizing Roar. Walk backwards (don't wait for fire debuff on ground before you start moving because it helps for his stuns to miss you) while keeping up Lacerate x 5 and Mangle. I also have Maul macroed to Lacerate and Mangle. When your HP is down to 50%, use Frenzied Regeneration and Berserk. Start spamming Mangle even if Lacerate is not kept up. Use a potion if you need to.

Cast your healing spells only if you feel safe or you have been able to interrupt/stun with Bash and have Barkskin on. For this fight, you may not need to. If you have a 10% HP lead on him, you will not have to self-heal at all, just keep up the Lacerate, Mangle and Maul rotation and finish him off.

Good luck.

Comment by 74132

Soloed as a 75 ret paly with so/so gear and little skill (it's an alt). Pretty easy. Just don't stand in the fire, I didn't even bother interrupting - the mob was dead before I had to bubble to bandage. Used lay on hands once.

Comment by 417129

Level 77 Shadow Priest can solo Malas.

This is how I did it:

Open with Mind Blast and throw up Vamp Embrace, Shadow Word: Pain, and Devouring Plague. The rest of your damage will come from well-timed Mind Flays. Vamp Embrace is very helpful but because you will be taking damage so fast, your heals from shadow aren't going to be enough. More important is to conserve mana for PW: Shield to cover yourself when dropping shadowform.

General strategy is to move Malas around like everyone has said. Move out of flames as they drop. Keep up SW: Pain and Devouring Plague. Use Silence to get multiple Mind Flays or throw in a Mind Blast safely. You will do as much damage as you can while keeping yourself out of flame.

Healing yourself is essential for this fight. I put up PW: Shield and cast Renew, Flash Heal, then Greater Heal, trying to get as close to full health as possible before switching back to Shadowform.

When Malas gets lower than 15k health, there seems to be less flame thrown on the ground. Don't rest, as the melee hits I've seen were 1000 - 2500. Use Shadowfiend and Dispersion as necessary to keep a large health pool while maintaining all the dots.

Comment by Hybzor

Solo'ed as lvl 78 rogue. Multilate spec. 14k hp, 30% crit, 2,1k ap.
Had to use all cooldowns, 2 x evasion, else just keep it stunned and interupt everything.

Took me 3 tries, so wasnt easy at all

Comment by 291531

very easy quest as a 78 demon lock.I sent my felguard to keep her away from me and i cast curse of agony,corruption,immolate and shadowflame and heal my minion.So simple

Comment by 167895

Soloed as a 76 Arcane mage without pots, Kited her around in a circle and most of my damage came from Arcane barrage and Fire blast

Resetted everytime i tried jumping down to the room in the middle to evocate and even 1 time when i used it when kiting her around so decided to not use it when i killed her, took about 90 seconds to kill her

Comment by 25987

76 combat rogue took a few tries. cheap shot, ar+bf, ss build combo points, kidney, snd, evasion after kidney, ALWAYS leave enough energy for kick - the stun can take half your hp away, keep snd & rup up, it drops fairly quickly with lvl 70 badge gears n crafted weapons (saronite mh sword n oh dagger, wound+deadly). back out of fire on ground (could try cloak).

on 76 unholy dk it was a joke, army of dead gg. dk could solo most group (3) or even (5) quests at same level. so are feral druid with decent tanking gear, demon locks n hunters. in comparison rogue would need a group more often.

also there is no point posting "solo'ed as lvl 80 xxx". no one cares you solo'd a lvl 76 group(2) quest at lvl 80.

Comment by 429836

About 66k hp and 76 elite.
As of 3.1.3, I don't think he is soloable by a feral druid 75. The stun is very annoying and shapeshifting doesn't remove the snare effect, so no charge to interrupt spell cast. It also often casts a gtaoe fire spell below you dealing 600+ per 2 sec. My best try was 20%, with all I could (fire pot, life pot, all the long cooldown skills, kitting...). Good luck if you try it :)

Comment by 57495

Thought I'd share.

You can solo this as a Warlock being Affliction.

What I did:

Use your Felhunter. Bind a macro to Devour Magic on yourself (see below for macro). Keep pet on Passive. Starting at Max Range, hit Malas with Haunt, then start kiting while putting up Corruption and Curse of Agony (CoA). Dispell yourself when she slows you with your Felhunter's Devour Magic. Keep kiting and keep up both Corruption and CoA. If Nightfall procs use it. After a few laps you'll have killed her.

It helps to have a PVP tinket just in case, but I did not need to use mine.

Macro for Devour Magic:

#showtooltip
/cast Devour Magic

easily solo'd as a 76 affliction lock. i had a talent point in improved health funnel and used my void as a tank.

Comment by nazzzux

Easy so solo as balance druid. Just used typhoon to knock him/her back as often as i could, and kept HoTs and DoTs up all the time.

Comment by 444747

Soloable as a 76 Prot Pally. Got the guy down to 50% before i used lay on hands. Just walk out of the fire AoE when he uses it.

Comment by Zeriko

Tried kiting him (Frost mage) but he kept resetting, even when i was still on the ring. Really don't know why, i didn't invis or anything :S

Anyone else had this problem?

Comment by 274182

Solo'ed as a 76 Shadow Priest. Utterly trivial if you know what you're doing. Put up DoTs, use cooldowns for mana, and Vampiric Embrace + Glyph of PW:S should be enough to heal. Just remember to cleanse the slow. You might be able to get in a Mind Blast or something when he stops to cast, but otherwise just keep up DoTs and he has no chance.

Comment by DasGhoti

Soloed as 75 cat. 1-2 cp for Savage Roar, spent the rest on 5cp Maim and refreshed all HoTs during stun. basically rinse and repeat with an extra 3cp rip thrown in on accident. used 1 runic potion dropped by mobs in the area, didn't have to use any cooldowns longer than maim. Took me a few tries though, but once you know the deal, it's pretty easy

Comment by Isilien

Solo'd as a level 74 prot paladin using my tanking set. As others have mentioned, main thing is to move out of the fire. I didn't even bother with interrupting his spells, and accidentally pulled two adds, but downed him and the two adds with about 10% health left. Didn't have to bubble or use LoH.

Comment by 451126

I managed to solo him on my Lvl 77 shadow Priest. I had to repeatedly stop and mind flay him as he would reset if I kited him with just dots on him.

Comment by Elsewhere

I have just managed to solo Malas as a lvl 78 shadow priest.

What I did was to first cast Vampiric Touch and started to run away from him, and as I was kiting him i cast Shadow Word: Pain and Devouring Plague, and lastly Vampiric Embrace to keep myself healthy. i also used Shadow Word: Death at times to keep Malas from resetting, and to avoid to take to much damage, I used Glyphed Power Word: Sheild.
And lastly, when i started to get low mana, i simply used Shadowfiend.

Shadow Preists needs to get nerfed, we're not supposed to do stuff like this...

Comment by Demps

I killed this guy 3 straight times without him dropping the quest item... kinda annoying

Comment by Shankforhire

09-30-09, Easy to solo as a lvl 75 Ret Pally. Just kite him around. Stay outta the fire. Bubble and heal if needed.

Comment by balom

As a 76 Protection Paladin, I tried solo'ing him at first and died quickly because I did not realize his AoE fire attack.

I changed to Judgement and Seal of Light and kited him around the top of the building and had almost no trouble with him.

Seeing as he is undead, I'd use Hammer of Justice whenever it wasn't on CD and then while he was stunned I'd use Exorcism on him (you could also use this time to heal if you find it necessary, just make sure you're out of the fire AoE when you do).

I hope this helps! He was cake once I realized he had that AoE.

Comment by ladlegard

Just solo'd as a 78 Affliction Warlock. I tried my Voidwalker as a tank first but he couldn't hold aggro, especially when I was healing him. So I tried my Infernal--worked fine, no problems. He has 20K or so of health and doesn't take as much damage as the VW. I layed on the dots/drain life and didn't even pull aggo. The infernal died right at the end when Malas was at about 15-20% or so, but just have a Healthstone ready and dot/drain life when he attacks you.

Comment by 445414

Soloed, 75 enhacement shaman wearing quest greens and blues. Read all the above posts and forgot everything soon as I hit him. Hit him with lightning bolt, dropped down in cave and killed add before he showed up.Just dropped my totems. Stoneskin, Windfury, Fire Resistance, and Magma. Sent spirit wolves right away. Soon as they disapeared dropped fire elemental to finish him off. Stayed out of fire and spammed Storm Strike, Lava Lash, and Earth shock, Never once hit wind shear or lava burst and only 1 heal. He's a lot easier than I was led to believe.

Comment by 301643

Just soloed as a 76 prot warrior, not-so-great gear, 15K+ HP. Use everything - Shield Bash, Conc Blow and Shockwave are your best friends here. Keep TC and Demo Shout up, and stay out of the fire. Got stunned in it and caught a couple ticks but recovered. Melee hits 6-700 on plate. Used health pot, Last Stand and Shield Wall, ended with about 3K. Easier than I imagined, but by no means easy.

Comment by fsngnshiekfan

Soloed as a DK unholy specced
At level 75 she was hitting way too hard on me, so I got enough runic power before hand to cast gargoyle on her and ordered my pet to attack, then ran around the circle casting Icy Touch and Death Coil constantly while enraging/healing my pet, holding aggro off the pet, and when low on health going up and Death Striking her. She SLOWLY went down but she did, I even picked up an add along the way

So...
Kite around the circle
Keep pet buffed and on her at all times (if you have one)
Never stop running
Cast any instant heals you have
Try to do as much damage as possible to her without allowing her to melee you
AVOID FIRE

Comment by 43285

Solo'd as a level 75 ele shaman.

Was pretty easy, first, I went in used my Earth Elemental and let him tank Malas while I just nuked with all my cooldowns while STAYING OUT OF THE FIRE. Then, if you have instant ghost wolf, just keep flame shock on him and kite him around in circle and lava burst when you are far away enough. Also, make sure you use WIND SHEAR to interrupt every stun. As long as you keep yourself topped off, and kite, this shouldn't be too hard. It took me a couple tries before I got it down. Hope this helps, good luck!

P.S. You CANNOT kite with earthbind totem, Malas is immune.

Soloed as a lvl 77 enhancement shaman, just popped feral spirits, fire elemental totem, and bloodlust and killed him in under a minute, was at full health at finish. =)

Comment by 497143

Easily soloed by a 77 Survival Hunter. I used a bear pet to tank, just keep Mend Pet up and use Misdirection on it. Malas don't hit that much and Mend Pet did the trick, no skill needed.
If you get aggro, use Feign Death. If Feign Death fails like mine did, just try to kite him. If you get slowed, use Disengage but since the fight is taking place on a higher platform be aware of the risks. And also, the platform is not flat so do not use Disengage when you're facing downhill (Disengage makes you leap backwards, wich would be uphill).

Comment by 563487

patch 3.3.2 I think
solo as L74 feral druid
heirloom chest and shoulders
rest quest blues and greens
1 runic healing pot
lifebloom

no major problems, and probably would have been much easier if I'd remembered to use bash
remember to stay mobile

Comment by 566033

Easily soled by a 75 blood Death Knight in frost presence with gear from Northrend quests.

Put up my diseases and used Death Strike to keep my health up and Heart Strike otherwise. Made sure to stay out of the fire on the ground. Took 1-2 mins.

Easily soloed, Death Knight, Level 76, Unholy in frozen presence...Just be aware of the fire. You can silence or stun him/her and also interrupt the spellcasting.

Comment by 576237

This guy is a pushover. Solo'd as a lvl 74 Hunter without either mine or my pet's health dropping past 50%.

Comment by Vonara

As I write this, I still haven't been able to solo him. For rogues out there:

While some say he is stunnable, be sure what you are using is actually a stun
Cheap Shot as an opener will work to stun him, and Kidney Shot works after that.
Both Blind, and Gouge will not work on him.

Unfortunately he will be hitting constant ~1,000s on a quest geared leather wearer. So far, my two stuns have not been enough to get him down.

Comment by 170160

Totally easy, I solo'd him with my lvl 74 hunter. Gotta love tank pets!

Comment by tommy5547

76 deep Frost mage, leveling gear and some blues.

Buffed with pot, food and scroll.
Moltern armor.
mana shield, fire shield and ice barrier.

Started nuking and blinked away. He is immune to chill effects etc.
Ice blocked once to keep him to the pet.

I also had to use invisibility to lure him to my pet.

Had to use mana pot.

When he died, i had only 40HP left and my pet was not feeling to well either but we did it.

Comment by kerrymayall

As a 76 Affliction lock, this was one of the few times i've brought out my Voidwalker instead of my Felhunter. I employed a simple strategy of only keeping Curse of Agony and Corruption up on the 'boss' while healing my Voidy in between recasts. Doing this enabled me to keep my threat level at roughly the same as my pet until the boss died.

So while certainly not a flash strategy, it enabled me to do the quest without having to move, so feel free to give this lazy method a go if you're having trouble doing this quest as a warlock.

Comment by 119706

A word of warning, Can be stunned but not snared, atleast patch 3.3.5. So frost mages... using frost nova is pointless, just pray for fingers of frost to proc for you.

Comment by biggaz69

Just done this today with my lvl 75 Affliction Warlock. Simple really, just start by sending in your VW dot with and . Keep up on pet and watch your aggro. Rinse and repeat till he's dead.

Comment by Vonara

Shadowpriests, surprisingly he is kitable around the platform up top. Start off as far as possible away from him, Shadow Reach helps a lot. Obviously start with Vampiric Touch, immediately turn and run while putting up Shadow Word: Pain and Devouring Plague. Everytime you get afflicted by his magic effect, Dispel as fast as you can and continue running. The trick to keep him in combat is actually Single target damaging him, but you can't afford a cast time spell, so every ~5 seconds use Devouring Plague for the 30% of total effect nuke. Once your mana gets to around 50%, send out a Shadowfiend, and make sure you refresh your instant cast spells. Once he is around 30-40%, renew all of your effects, and fight normally, unless you want to wait until he gets lower. Disperse if he starts hitting too hard at the end. Try not to use it beforehand.

Comment by PeculiarDK

I soloed him where he stands on a 75 Blood Death Knight. Keep your diseases up (Icy Touch and Plague Strike), then keep hitting Death Strike so you get healed. I also hit him with Mark of Blood. Just don't stand in the fire.

Comment by Dfvm000

Solo'ed with my 78 Frost Mage in my 4th attempt . What i did was using Mirror Image and while he was distracted with the clones and my water elemental, just using Deep Freeze (with a help of Fingers of Frost) and attacking . When it was used, coldsnapped and repeating the process.

Comment by makimachi

Solo'ed as a 78 Assassin Rogue with quest rewards item. Took me 2 tries. Started out with Vendetta, Cheap Shot then SnD. 1st time I went down to 2k hp, I had to use pots. 2nd time i went down 2k hp, I had to use Cloak of Shadows and Evasion. Pretty close fight

Avoid the fire!

Comment by 784452

I easily solod him. I'm a frost mage. i just kept pet nova'ing him and used iceblok whenever he tried to cast something that damaged me pretty much after that i just kept using Frostbolt and icelance after that Deep-freeze wich stuns and freeze's him. 1k hp left finished him.

this should be NO problem for warriors-paladins even hunter's

Comment by 772457

Soloed as a lvl 80 blood DK. Started with Army of the Dead, he was almost dead before I got a strike in. Used Blood strike, Blood boil and Obliterate. Used Death Strike once. Took me about 10 sec. Much too easy. About finding him, use your flying mount, you will right into him.

Comment by ziggy29

Solo on first try with level 77 elemental shammy as follows:

* Placed earth elemental, fire elemental, wrath of air and healing stream totems down

* Hit the boss an initial lightning bolt to get the elementals to start fighting the mob, immediately followed by flame shock once the lightning bolt hit.

* Back away a few steps, letting the elementals intercept Malas and take aggro off of me

* When I was lost about 40% of my health or more, I'd cast healing surge (by this time the elementals were mostly holding aggro). If I had more health than that, I'd use lava burst if available (which crits 100% of the time with flame shock active) or else I'd cast lightning bolt.

* The one time in the fight flame shock was about to expire, I hit it again.

That's really all I did -- keep an eye on health, use healing surge if the health was getting too low, otherwise use lava burst (if available) or lightning bolt (if not) except for the one time I had to cast flame shock again.

Malas went down with me (and both elementals) still standing.

Solo'd as level 75 assassination rogue with heirlooms and quest reward gear.

Was tougher than it should have been as I missed interrupting his first cast which stunned me and cost me around a third of my hp. Used a health pot and got him down with 5% hp remaining.

My method was to open with Cheap Shot, then Mutilate followed by Kidney Shot, Cold Blood, Mutilate and Rupture, finishing up with Eviscerate once I had enough combo points. Avoid the fire and interrupt his Raging Shadow ability.

Very easy as 77 arms warrior. HE, since I know there was confusion, took me down about half health but that's all the damage he conflicted. If you can heal yourself he's not much. Disappointed in his loot though.
