Strategy

The fight starts off with 3 waves of dragons that must be defeated. The first 2 waves have 3 dragons and the third wave has 4. Each wave will have at least one caster mixed in that needs to be killed first and preferably without the tank as they can put a nasty debuff (-50% healing and -50% damage debuff) on the player meleeing them. Sometimes the last group will have 2 casters that need to be dealt with, but not always. Once all the waves have been cleared you will have a spit second to drink before the Boss joins in the fight.

The boss has a hard hitting knock back attack as well as a shadow based curse attack. To get around the knock back the tank should position his back against any of the various buildings and fight there. As long as the tank holds aggro he should be the only one getting the curse, however when knocked back the aggro list will clear for a few seconds so it is possible for others to get it. The curse does 750 damage every 3 seconds for 15 seconds, so can be hard to deal with for some players. He also clears buffs from the tank, which is very annoying if you are a paladin tanking it since your righteous fury will get dispelled and you can loose aggro easily if you are not contantly recasting it. If the tank holds aggro and does not get knocked around allot, the fight is not that difficult, especially with Thralls added DPS. (From Tentonhammers guildwebsite.)

Here's what I did. My party died, and I ended up aspect of the cheetah kiting the dragon around Hillsbrad, worked just fine.

Commento di Amberley

From what I have gathered from my tries :

The guy next dragon at the start of the instance can restore the timeline to before Thrall died, but his power is limited. I counted 3 wipes before we got to this boss, and then when we wiped at the boss, Thrall didn't respawn.

Also something to note, whether its bugged or not, When Thrall is dead permanently, the Epoch Hunter cannot be killed. He will stay at 1%.

If you are doing the Escape from Durnhold Quest Line there is something you must know about on this fight to recieve credit. EVERYONE must be alive when the Boss dies. A few seconds later, a Blood Elf Spawns and talks to Thrall and then you are given credit.

This dragon involved at the end will summon 2-3 ? waves of Dragonkin, then he himself will land. He has a nasty Curse that does a lot of damage per tick, but otherwise hes a standard Tank and Spank encounter except for the knockback and the buff removing.

I tanked him (68 prot pally) and we burned him down relatively easily (68 arms warrior, 67 priest, 66 druid and 66 hunter)

After the dragon is dead this instance/quest is over and rewards like 17,900 xp at level 68

Thanks to my buds in Syndicate Guild on Sen'Jin!

He glitch on us, at 1%. Couldn't kill him. Don't let Thrall die, or this will happen to you.

Commento di tobee

tip for warriors tanking
use spell reflect if you see casting bar

Commento di Russta

If Thrall's third death is during this fight, Epoch Hunter will still be there to fight if you go back. However, DON'T as he will stay at 1% forever and cost you all dura!

Also confirming the 1% deal. Commented on it here (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=21181#go-to-comment-42661)

Completed this event in heroic mode today. Learning dos and donts is a bit rough from the whole three goes and youre done thing. There are three spawns of dragonkin groups before you fight epoch hunter, the third bunch had 4 dragonkin instead of 3; the extra dragonkin being an additional infinite slayer. These hit like trucks and kill clothies like nothing. Double tanking them is unadviseable, CC one or both for the win. I had the clothies stay in the doorway of the inn during the initial parts of each wave so that they were less likely to go splat by getting proximity aggro as well as we were sure not to do any kind of heals etc in between the waves so that I (the warrior) was able to pick up my targets and CCer was able to CC before heal aggro became an issue. Between wave two and three I popped shield wall so that the pair of slayers could be dealt with without the danger of heal aggro. Getting through the third wave was the only hard part of the encounter. The epoch hunter himself isnt horribly hard he does hit pretty strong but a good healer/tank combo can deal with it. Class makeup was Prot Warr (me), holy priest, rogue, fire mage, lock --BP(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##ElhonnaDS##DELIM##

Commento di Nerissa

Like similar bosses before him (Broggok), the Epoch Hunter himself is a giant pansy. The waves of adds before him are rougher to deal with than the boss himself.

Commento di h4rr0d

tanking him as paladin is almost impossible as he dispells righteous fury...

Commento di SaxxonPike

If you fail the instance and Thrall has not respawned BUT Epoch Hunter HAS respawned, don't attempt to fight this boss. Here's why:

I just attempted this with a group. We failed the fight twice and figured "well we'll just go and do it for the loots". You will be able to damage Epoch Hunter, but his HP will freeze at 1% rendering him invincible, despite the combat log saying you've done damage to him.

Upon visiting Tarren Mill before hand, is it possible to kill all the Tarren Mill guards (assuming it's they who turn into the dragonkin) and not fight the 4 waves?

Commento di euphyi

It's nice to have a balance druid on this fight, because they are optimally placed to cc two of the three adds on the first few waves. Simply sleep the caster (it's the one that hangs back) and root one of the melee (remember this is an outdoors instance!) then get your party to move onto the one thrall is attacking. It saves a lot of the healer's mana.

As far as I know, the waves come from different directions; the first one comes from behind the epoch hunter, while for the second, turn left. Healer and squishies should avoid standing where they can be blindsided by the waves, but other than these it's a pretty easy fight.

why does all the phat ench shamy leewt get stuck on (one, if not,) THE hardest heroic boss?

The Magic Disruption Aura is dispellable.

Kited him as a Warlock around a house until my Curse of Doom and the other DoT's took him down ;]

Commento di Gnub

I'm fairly sure his name is a reference to "The Epoch Times", a newspaper.

Nice play of words. That you have to deliver the news for a heroic daily quest, in the form of a head-line, makes it a slight bit funnier.

Commento di 239920

I would perfer a rouge or cat form Druid for this, because if the tank holds aggro, then they can Shred or Backstab, build up combo points, use the combo points and repeat till death

Edit: Him and his ads are skinnable for Knothide Leather and Knothide Leather Scraps.

Commento di killerdinoblood

Epoch Hunter is one of the high commanders of the infinite dragonflight.Til know we know that the infinite dragonflight wants to break the order of Time thus being Mortal enemies of the Bronze dragonflight,but didnt you ask your self why are they doing this.Well i did,you see in Old hillsbrad Foothills the mention "The MAster"so a serten creature is there "master"and is doing this.I think its a Old God!Think about it the Old gods know that we are getting stronger and stronger so the best why to stop us is to break hte timeline.

Commento di 133882

I love that the townspeople around Tarren Mill are completely unperturbed by a group of random people they don't know and an orc fighting town guards turned into dragons in the middle of town. They just walk around going about their business, right through the fight, and don't even break stride.

"Oh, hey, must be Tuesday again."

Commento di Farmbuyer

More than any other flying thing in the game, I want this dragon as my mount.

Commento di ThoriumGargoyle

Incase you were wondering, Epoch isn't part of what happened in the past. He's an infinite dragonflight lieutenant sent to screw up the past.

Commento di Brodaty

In my opinion, his question before entering the fight, is best voice track in entire game.

Commento di DonkeyMan2000

This along with all other fights in The Escape from Durnholde is soloable by a decently geared 80 DK if you are blood or frost spec you will have no trouble if you are unholy you might need another character to come with you, preferably healer.

Commento di Ravenhull

Part of me really wished he would drop a mount version of him. Would look awesome. We can wish...

Commento di Aquifel

In case you're wondering about the low drop rates of some items on this boss, his loot table is completely messed up, heroic and normal modes are mixed together. (The same is true for all bosses in this dungeon on wowhead)

If you were a math wizard, you could probably work out the drop rates based on the amount of times hes dropped a primal nether (should drop only in heroic version of this boss, i believe, and should drop 100% of the time), but i am not that math wiz.

Commento di MABGamer6407

Like to think of this boss as the Quest giver turned evil. Ever sense End time i think of the Bronze dragon flight all becoming evil at the Very End f time and then erasing what they witnessed So long ago. an each one of the boss's i Think of a Good guy gone bad sort, just something to make the Battle more interesting.

Commento di Revived

I'd like to mount him, srsly.

Commento di 961989

THIS NEEDS TO BE A MOUNT! ZOMFG

Commento di 914170

Mind Thrall's sharp curves..
If you lose him while running after him, like I did, he is waiting for you at 52.41
For those of you without coords its the south-west side of Tarren Mill, under the brown hill
Use /tar thrall command to find him

you have to talk to him to activate him again or you'll run all over the town looking for the boss
sad story... :(

Commento di sillyliza

The Epoch Hunter disappeared after I killed the first wave of Infinite Slayers. I suspect I killed them too quickly. If this happens, go back upstairs to speak to Taretha again. (Thrall is hanging out there again.) Second time 'round, I let Thrall get in a hit or two before killing the dragonkins. Worked.

Bug, exploit, or random occurrence I'm not sure.

Obligatory BfA post: When will this be a mount this model is sooo cool
