The Netherock Crumblers actually spawn from Netherock's body as you damage him, much like the Raging Colossus's in Hellfire Peninsula, so don't let the crumblers locations on the map confuse you. He was about the same difficulty level as a Colossus, relative to level while in Hellfire.

Easy guy. Stunnable. Solo-able as a rogue, just be careful with adds.

Comment by 301

First time we killed him, we didn't get enough Crumblers (only 2 spawned), so we had to kill him again.

Comment by 16892

Not solo-able for a shaman with some CD's... he Hits for 600 and adds all around him so its hard to get into him.. Got alot of HP so don't try him at lvl 67 :

Comment by 17265

21,77 are the coordinates where I killed him. Was a tough fight to solo but doable with a 69 shadow priest.

Comment by 18906

No coords on this guy?

Found walking 25,80

Comment by Immobulus

As a mage he is immune to frost nova and other slowing effects.
Split up the agro between yourself and your elemental and slowly drop him bandage evocation when necesary, soloable.

Comment by Ebonyheart

30. 80.

grrr..

GL!

Soloed as a 70 hunter. He pats all the way around to the west of Manaforge B'Naar, so you can catch him there and kite him around to the road. Only tricky part is getting by the phase hunters, but that wasn't too bad only aggroed one and just hit scatter shot on it and kept running. The crumblers just kind of stayed where they were when they spawned, so I ran back and killed them after the kite.

Comment by milly

he only spawned 2 crumblers for us.. annoying

Comment by Stilgar

68 hunter. Had just found him when someone did LFG for him, so kited to them and we both got it. Easy as pie.

Comment by Manic77

Very easy to take down. We also only got 2 crumblers, though. We tried to get him to reset so we could get some more crumblers out of him, but a "helpful" player came along and finished him off for us. :p

Comment by 21971

i am lvl 68 feral drood and he was rly rly easy when add spawn just kill add, then stun netherokc heal ur self and do it all over till u kill him ;D gl!

Comment by 26046

spawned 0 adds for me... must be bugged...

Comment by suavis

Easily Solable as a 70 Holy Paladin

Judge Wisdom and Seal Wisdom. Ignore the boss when his adds pop. The are priority. Keep Wis judged on the add, and have Seal of Wisdom up as well. Once the add is down go back to him.

Repeat until victory.

Comment by stylewalker

Soloed as a lvl 70 Afflication Warlock. A bit tricky, but i made it on first try. Used one HS and one manapotion.

Sent in void and let him buid aggro pretty long. Casted dots and health funel on Void, health funel heals for more then he gets damaged. When the crumblers spawn, they will eventually aggro you due to your healing. Dot them and keep helath funnel up. If you get more than one crumbler on you, try to HoT them away.

Comment by 24600

As a 70 Shaman:

Set up:
- Grace of Air
- Mana Spring
- (Fire Totem) take your pick
- Drink to fill mana

Pulled Apex onto the road - he pats pretty close to it, so this part is trivial. I then engaged him and dropped earth elemental totem. I'm full enhancement (15 resto) so I pretty much reserved all mana for healing of the earth elemental. I started Shamanistic Rage fairly early. Heroism was down at the time so this was not employed. The tactic is just to depend on your WF proc and keep the elemental healed - bandage yourself if needed and keep the mana spring up. At about 5-7% the 2 minutes on the elemental will be destroyed - feel free to finish him off. Or, if you're well geared, you probably already killed him.

** Of note: I did not need to pot this entire time. If you reserve your heals and use them smartly, this fight is slow and relaxed. I found a quick stormstrike/earth shock combo to be pretty much enough to finish off the adds. With the mana gained from m-spring/SR you should be doing fine. Not easily soloable, but doable if you're smart

Comment by Amaunet

Dpes anyone have solid coords for this guy?

Comment by 42043

Soloed at 60 protection Paladin. He spawned 3 Netherock Crumbler at 75%/50%/25%.

Comment by Requitas

I had to fight him two times because the first time we only had 2 crumblers spawn (duoed with myself-68 ret pally-and a 68 rogue). The second time we fought him it was much quicker than the first time and he only spawned 1 crumbler. It may be that he spawns them based on how long you take to kill him, rather than at set percentages.

Comment by 30102

Solo'ed as 70 sword Rogue. Open with Cheap Shot and pop Adrenaline Rush immediately. You will have 5 combo points at about the time he comes out of stun. Hit kidney shot and he's stunned for another 6 seconds. Hit vanish when he wakes up and immediately Cheap Shot him again. By now he easily should have less than half his life left. When comes awake again, wait for a Crumbler to spawn, hit Evasion and Blade Flurry. Boss should be dead before Blade Flurry wears so you can continue to burn through the Crumblers.

Comment by Woyr

Soloed as a 70 Fury Warrior.

I engaged him with full HP and rage (fight some adds to build up rage then eat). Then I popped one of my +atk power trinkets at the start of the fight. As the little adds spawn, Netherock gets weaker. When 2 adds were up, I used Intimidating Shout and popped my second +atk power trinket. I saved up a lot of rage for a massive execute, but I think it took 2 or 3 of them to finally kill him. After that, I ran away from the adds.

To get the rest of the adds for the quest, I found him again later and just killed the one that spawns at 80%.

Comment by 55449

Just soloed this Netherock guy, few mins ago.
im a hunter, quit easy for me. but you should know im also, almost fully epic geared, and the mend pet from Patch is really great when you wanna solo elites and hunter :o)
and the add, i froze 1 and had the other 2 on my pet and then i killed those after netherock.

Comment by 66620

Soloed as 70 BM hunter. I put my pig on Netherock and DPSed him until first Crumbler spawned. Sent pig on crumbler, killed it and switched back to Netherock. Rinse and repeat till dead.

Comment by Slater

Just EASILY solo'd as a 70 affliction warlock. Let the VW cast Torment twice to build up a decent amount of agro. Then I put up all of my dots.... by the time all of them were up (including Unstable Affliction and Immolate) my VW was down to about 4k health... so I started health funneling. By the time I pulled agro from the VW, Netherock was down to about 70%. I drain tanked him to about 40% without losing hardly any HP (he was hitting for about 1200 but it was slow and my drain life ticks for about 400). The he started shrinking and it was even easier from there.

Comment by 14974

soloed easily as lvl 70 combat rogue but I missed one crumbler so I had to kill him twice

Comment by 22114

I think I killed him too fast cause he only summoned 1 crumbler for me. :-|

Edit: Apparently, if he's stunned during the trigger to summon crumblers he doesn't summon it. :(

Comment by 85929

solo'd as a 68 Demo lock....ez, just Dot, shadowbolt, let first Mob smack on you, make sure Felguard keeps all aggro of nether, when 2nd crumbler falls, fear it, dot, re-dot Nether, when third falls, Howl, soulfire and u win...most likely, you will die from the Crumblers afterwards, but just s/s ur self, and you're good...i didnt die, but my buddie did when he tried it solo'd at 67....yeap...kinda simple...took me from 8500 life to around 1000 life after letting the mobs just pound on me while i heal'd felguard/ kept dots up...even more simple for BM hunters =/

Comment by 73568

very easy to solo as a 70 shadow priest, I didnt even clear the area first. I basically cast mind blast to get some starting damage in, then SW:P VE and VT - bubble, run for your life, reapply DoTs as required, and I threw in my Devouring Plague (undead only) mid fight when I got down to about 70% health. I basically just kited him around while avoiding all other mobs in the area, although its possible I just got lucky with the other mobs locations at the time...

Finished fight with 85% health and 30% mana.

edit: Netherrock is immune to fear.

Comment by 84632

Immune to fear.

Comment by 106414

30,80 is a good coord for him. I was able to solo at 69 as a MM hunter. Every 1/3 of damage or so he breaks down and a second mob jumps out of him. I would feign death for a few seconds and the second mob would fade so I could jump up and continue shooting. Pretty simple so long as you have a clear area to fight him in.

Comment by Rogyxa

Follow this map, He is btw. there :) Have fun.

Easy quest...soloed as a level 68 marks hunter. Killed him at 19,74.

Comment by 132541

LvL 70 Prot warrior soloed with ease. Needed 1 Int Shout and bandage. Do it in defensive stance and keep shield block up the whole fight. Devastate and Revenge FTW.

Comment by 134522

solo'd as a 70 combat swords rogue. opened with cheap shot, followed with one evasion, then popped abacus of violent odds trinket, slice & dice, and blade fury. got him down to 50% without any health lost. build up points then kidney shot. easy kill (mind you I cleared some of the area while I was looking for him).

Comment by 78759

Did this on my own, post 2.4 at 20,77. Concentrated on killing the main and did the two adds when I'd killed it. Only one mana potion needed. Resto specced shaman.

Comment by adelaide

solo'd - 70 spriest. just burned netherock, killed him and feared his adds. voila. found him around 37.83, 78.64

Comment by 91244

Just did this as a 68 MM (0/43/16) hunter. Definitely wasn't an easy battle, but after a couple tries I got him down. Here's what you do:

Wait for him to patrol to an area where you're sure you won't get any adds. Start out with Aspect of the Hawk and make sure Hunter's Mark and Trueshot Aura are up. Pull him with Scorpid Sting (and keep it refreshed!), and sick your pet on him. Mend Pet immediately. Let your pet gain aggro for the full duration of the first Mend Pet while you do nothing. After you refresh Mend Pet, pop Rapid Fire and Blood Fury/trinket and go all out, pumping out as much burst DPS as possible. You'll gain aggro near the end of the Rapid Fire cooldown. When you gain aggro, pop Deterrence and take the beating, while Mend Pet heals your pet back to full. As soon as your pet is healed, pop Feign Death, make sure Mend Pet is refreshed, and bandage yourself up. Back up and place a Freezing Trap (to take care of the first rock add), then begin to go all out again, pumping out as much burst as possible (this time without cooldowns) and keeping Mend Pet refreshed. Stick more to instant-shots when you get rock adds.

I died at the same time he did, but I got it done. Without Scorpid Sting up, I died while he was at 5%; that extra miss chance makes the battle if you aren't running great gear.

You can solo this on lvl 70. np.

Comment by 76044

I Found Him At 24,80 Solo'd Him As A Druid...Lev 69

Comment by 153944

Just solo'ed as lv68 Prot Pally.

Best place I found to fight is just east of the Heap. Drop off at your back and the area is easily cleared around you.

He doesn't hit hard or have any notable specials.

I used HoJ at 80% to avoid his first add and just focused on killing him quick. SoV stacked easily so wasn't hard to muscle him down. Used a health pot and bubble-bandage but even with the 2 extra ramblers that decided to join in towards the end I still had LoH's available after the fight.

Comment by 164224

hes surrounded by ads and u gotta kill them first... very annying quest with only 2

Comment by 160223

Easy.... I soloed him.... im a lvl 70 paly tank (still gearing). He walks round the very south of the island, u cant miss him,,,,,

Comment by DarkFerret

Soloed as a 70 ret paladin by kiting him to Area 52. He moves just a hair slower than 3/3 Pursuit of Justice, so you can run and judge to keep him from leashing on the way to town. Once there, kite in circles using the bridges, or BoP and let the guards finish him (granted you've done enough damage to get credit). Could probably be done as soon as the quest is available.

Comment by Allakhazam

location is ok, or around 40,76
very hard to kill with 2 other mobs lvl 68 in same time, but i do it ALONE! with a pally 69 prot, with 11000 armor
:P

Comment by Allakhazam

Soloed as a 70 holy Paladin. He's much easier to fight in the beginning because he hits slow so u can easily outheal his damage but as his health drops and the crumblers appear and he gets smaller, his attack speed becomes faster and they hit more so you have to heal more in the last parts so try and conserve most of your mana for when his health is at around 25% so you can heal through all the hits you're taking and to kill the crumblers.

Comment by Allakhazam

simple as 70 bm hunter, but before i killed all the three adds i had aggroed 2 of them and did fd and then the third add dissepaired, so i had to kill one more

Comment by Allakhazam

Hehe soloed him with lv 70 prot warr:D i have 12k armor n 11,5k hp

Comment by Allakhazam

26.81 is where I found him he wanders on edge of cliff to 40.76ish. He moves slow so you gotta look for him. Tryed to do it with me 68 rogue and 70 mage we got asses kicked and had to get druid to tank.

Unless your pretty well geared don't try to solo him lol.

Comment by Allakhazam

Could solo this as 70 hunter

Comment by Allakhazam

My 68 Druid soloed him on 3rd try.

1st I started with some HoTs on, charged in, beat him down to 10% HP when I died.

2nd try I started as Kitty and put some bleeds on him and burst dmg while he was stunned, ended up dying again at around 8% HP.

3rd try; whenever he popped out the little non-elites I'd kill those quick with a dodge trinket activated while doing so. Killed him with 21% HP left.

So, if you're a drood and you wanna beat this guy; KILL THE ADDS AS YOU GO. Once you have him and 3 little guys beating on you it just becomes too much.

GL!

:Edit:

Oh, and use Demo Roar and never let it drop. He's slow to hit in the beginning and each hit is quite a chunk of you HP. The AP reduction helps a lot.

Edited, Dec 29th 2007 3:20pm by TacticalRage

Comment by Allakhazam

Solo him as lvl 70 Rogue, just started of with 'Cheap Shot', and at the same time turned on 'Adrenaline', and some AP boost on Trinket, and rather then use 'Eviscerate' i used 'Kidney Shoot' as soon as possible then just hit him until he went down, i was low on health so when he died and his little ones pops up i did "vanish", quest complete. (And no it's not an easy quest to solo for rogue, so dont be disappointed if u dont make it)

One thing to think about is to get him alone so u dont get adds, 27,81 is a great point to wait for him, it takes a few minutes for him to show up but it's worth it.

Comment by Allakhazam

easy like feral druid 68...I've started in cat form and then continue him in bear form...and some heals...

Comment by Allakhazam

I'm a level 67 warlock with demonology spec and I couldn't solo him with a VW. The adds spawn too fast I had like 4 and had to run away. Tried twice same thing both times.

Comment by Allakhazam

Really easy as a 70 hunter, especially if you catch him while he's around the Heap (no adds). The only thing is that I feigned death to get one of the crumblers off me, and it despawned. I had to find another netherock to get that last crumbler. Oh well, still a really easy 15g

Comment by Allakhazam

70 balance druid - first time I fought him, head to head, dismal failure.

2nd time, kiting, no real problem. One time he caught when I didn't use travel form and it was a bit harry, but trees took add and I was able to get back to kiting. Then no problem.

Comment by Allakhazam

Damn what is with this quest there is noo such mobs on that place :-s

Comment by Allakhazam

I soloed as a 70 holy pally. Equip shield and keep judgment of wisdom up. Watch your mana and heal accordingly. Took me about 10 minutes, the biggest issue was the mana because with 11k defense he doesn't hit to hard.

Comment by Allakhazam

No probs soloing this one. No FD. Just cleared the mobs waiting for him to repop and used one Freezing trap, cos a crumbler was interrupting my aimed shot. Other than that spam steady shot and heal pet and you got him :)

Comment by Allakhazam

He pats from 18,73 to 40,77 along the southern edge of the "island". He stomps earth elementals to death as walks by so look for a trail of dead ones.

You have to kill him slowly or he will not spawn enough crumblers. Alternatively you can kill him multiple times.

Comment by Allakhazam

30,80

Soloable as a prot pally - it's quite a long grind (at least for me) and 3 mini-me adds appeared, but I was fine. I must admit a couple of passing Horde characters helped me out at the end (for no real reason) but I would have been okay.

Comment by Allakhazam

Had to kill him twice, spawned only 2 mobs, so we needed another crumbler...
with stun it was easy as hell...

Comment by Allakhazam

soloed as a 69 druid. fairly easy.

Comment by Allakhazam

LOl... soloed as lvl 70 fire mage.
I was lucky thou - he suffered impact like 5 times. Killed him at 600 Hp left and runing away from add he spawned :))))))))

Comment by Allakhazam

Found him south of where I killed a named ethereal (something Nesaad) for another quest. Solo easily 70 druid in old blues, just start cat and bleed him, and melee in bear for the rest of his HP. Use your frenzied regen when you're low, and keep Demoralizing Roar up whenever he spawns a new add.

Comment by Allakhazam

No soloable!

25 894 HP
151-619 DMG
330 DPS

He spawn adds, used recklessness and commanding shout, 3k hp left on him.
No chance.

Soloed him with a lvl 68 hunter 1st try :D He is not to hard. I just attacked him, and heal my pet. If he want to attack me I use "Feign death". When the addons come I put some trap on to the ground, and kill Netherock first, after I finish with addons.

---------------
Mazuru BM hunter

Comment by Allakhazam

Soloed as 70 feral druid,quite easy.

Comment by Allakhazam

He is an elite who cannot be frozen/slowed/snared, which pretty much proves impossible for a lvl 68 full-frost mage like me. Soloing elites that can't be snared is more of a hunter or arcane/fire mage thing. He patrols the edge, south of area 52. There are a lot of mobs around him, don't fall off :p

Comment by Allakhazam

Killed him when he roamed past 40,76. Spawns 3 adds in fight.

Comment by Allakhazam

I am a shadowpriest and i could take him alone. Problem for me was there where only 2 small rumblers spawns so i had to kill him twice...

Comment by Allakhazam

He spawns somewhere around 22:77. Wait for him there somewhere

Comment by Allakhazam

He spawns around 20, 74 then pats all along the southern edge of the Manaforge Bnaar island.

Comment by Allakhazam

He patrols all along the edge as others have stated. However, if you wait till he is near 27,81 you will be able to fight him with no chance of adds. I took him out there at 68 Bm specced. Just sent pet and did BW/TBW right away as well as cast heal immediately. Did normal shot rotation of SS->AS->Auto->Steady->Auto->Steady. Soon after BW/TBW wore off i pulled agro. If this happens to you let him beat on you for a minute. He doesnt hit all that hard. When you get to about half HP feign death and then intimidate. Around then the crumblers will start coming at you, freeze one of them and finish off Netherock. After that killing the crumblers is easy. Dont forget to heal your pet as soon as the previous heal wears off. You might need to use a pot or a bandage at some point. I know this sounds involved but try it. Really wasnt very hard at all.

Comment by Allakhazam

cant solo as a ice mage lol get him to 25% used all my CD's health pot and mana emerald to hard =\

Comment by Allakhazam

Netherok

Comment by Allakhazam

As a fire mage.. this doesnt seem too hard Maybe its cause i got lots of crits in tho... woulda killed him but random elemental aggrod on me : / U have to really hold dps or his adds wont spawn.

Comment by Allakhazam

Killed this guy and he never touched me. Opened with a frostbolt and then I just turned and ran and kited him with ice lance. Everytime blink was up I would blink forward, frostbolt, and then keep kiting with ice lance. I had +8% speed increase enchant to my boots as well and with that combined with blink he never catches up to you.

After I killed him I just went back along the path that I kited him on and killed his spawns individually as I was too far away from them when they spawned to aggro them so they never chased after me.

Comment by Allakhazam

soloed this at a 70 shadowpriest. just keep the dots up and shield whenever you can. once adds start spawning, fear them. by the end i was forced to break shadowform,shield/renew/prayer of mending, and run like hell. i kept the dots on him while i ran, and eventually the adds lost aggro, and i finished him with shadow word death. afterwords the adds despawned....so i waited for him to rezz. i got him down enough so that one add spawned, then dotted it and ran like hell (again). the add died, boss deaggroed, repeat x3
