Pain in the ass to kill, as a 70, because of adds. Doesn't really drop anything special either.

Commento di 48132

Interesting note, he can land crushing blows on level 70 players.

Commento di mattous

Be warned if you trying to kill him that he will use lay on hands when he is about to die restoring his health to full.

Commento di 71968

Hard as hell to kill, even as a level 70 warrior. Wiped dousands of times.

Commento di radiophonic

Also be warned that his adds resist feign death, even if you're level 70.

Commento di Gunhaven

Does Crusader strike which increases holy damage on the target taken, and well he does Holy light which heals himself for a small amount.

more importantly... this guy is actually part of a very long quest chain, started by tirion fordring (who is actually the father of Taelan). During the quest chain, he wil be part of an escort quest and wil turn friendly. He can solo every single mob in the area, even a pack of 4 elites at once. although beware of the runners since he can't last forever. When ever it happens you run low on health, run close to him and he wil be able to heal you aswel if he has the mana and ofcourse didn't use it on himself yet.

at the final battle of the escort, he wil die while fighting grand inquisitor isillien, although tirion fordring arrives then to help you kill the inquisitor.

About a 20 minute respawn timer.

Despite his alleged level 63, he seems to be flagged as a raid boss / lvl 73. As a Kara geared prot warrior, he seemed to hit me with Crushing Blows when I wasn't keeping shield block up. In addition I'm hit capped for enemies up to lvl 72 and he managed to miss my shield slam twice.

Managed to solo him, but definitely one of the toughest lvl 63's in the game.

Soloed him as a 70 SS-combat rogue just because I could :P Sapped one of his forward adds and tried to pull the other solo with a toss of the gladiator thrown. He aggroed with it but the two adds in the back didn't. Killed the add with blade flurry while beating on him. Got him down to near dead before the other add desapped and I had to vanish. I ate some stam food, popped a minor agi pot and poisoned up. Sapped the same add and tried throwing at him, drew both of the back adds. Near-killed both while blade flurrying, evasioned when they came back, improved sunder instantly squishy-fied him, and I managed to kill him, the two adds, and the de-sapper. It turns out that even his lay on hands has a cooldown :D

By the way, Taelan is son of Tirion Fordring from novel " Of blood and honor".

Commento di Zido

Weird mob.
Was able to crush me at lvl 70, while being a level 63 (which is impossible). I assume, at lvl 60 he was a "skull" or boss mob, yet something got screwed up at Blizz.

Commento di 64664

Wasn't able to solo him with level 70 Pre-Kara protection warrior buffed with pots.

At first he starts with 4 guards. if you pull one of the adds he will aggro as well as another guard. After you killed the two and decides to run back to heal up and get read for the next fight, he'll use his other adds. It seems that all of the adds are healed by the guy which making it only worse.

His adds respawn incredibly fast.
After 2 wipes I declared him as "unkillable".
I was very close 2 times but ofc mobs have the Power of Blizzard, that they use just to &*!@ you off. :}

You don't want to die here btw because the graveyard is miles away, and by miles I really mean MILES.
With 14k armor he still hits me for 800 damage a swing.

I always started out with doing much more damage then he did, he was about 25% while I still at 50% hp, but at certain points in the battle he just heals himself, and if you're unlucky he'll use a heal that replenish is whole life. And no he's not stunable, interuptable, fearable.

And the React: A H both at green is missleading. He's gonna kick your ass if you come too close.

Highlord Taelan Fordring in old hillsbrad when he was kid http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=20361

Commento di 71968

Kicked my Pre-Kara lv 70 warriors butt...even though I used pots and the whole shabang

Commento di 182068

Didnt read if it was stated before but, Taelan is in Old Hillsbrad Foothills upstairs wearing a hammer.

Commento di 223822

Difficult but soloed as a Full T6 Fury Warrior just have to pray for alot of crits cuz ya LoH sucks only time i almost lost was when he used it and ya loot wise he sucks only killed for the Cavaliers for a BS plan

Commento di Shivrael

Well, I solo this guy a lot. Mostly because I have about 8 pre-bc blacksmithing patterns left to acquire, among them the full runic bullcrap set.

Taelan Fordring is kind of a badass. I say kind of because, knowing his nature gives a prot pally the information he needs to KILL Taelan Fordring consistently. I could see warriors and whatever having a lot of trouble with this guy because he's no push over.

That being said I am a post Kara partially SSC/TK geared prot paladin with a chip on my shoulder and a hankering to smith in a black sort of way. This means I have to kill Taelan Fordring a lot because unless I want to bring my homies out here for the pitiful drop rate and sad respawn timer, I am on my own.

So here's the secret to the Highlord of the Scarlet Fraternity.

He heals people. THIS SUCK!one

He uses LAY ON HANDS ZOMGSAURUS REX!

He... wastes both on other people. Also of note for you people who aren't privileged with a circle of PAIN like us prot pallies... if you kite him off and make him use LoH and then reset him he won't use it again.

TO YOUR ADVANTAGE!

He runs out of mana.

He doesn't bubble (but he's unstunable)

And he'll happily blow LoH on Bob the Unfortunate Cavalier, who just happens to be standing next to him, because BOB NEEDS IT MORE! WE LOVE YOU BOB!

Seriously though, Taelan prioritizes others over himself. I think it's an inherited family trait, seeing as such things are the cause of his father's exile. Which was the dumbest thing so many of those uppity whatfuxors could have done. But oh well.

So yes, to kill Taelan Fordring with the most consistent level of success, martyr him. Make him blow his payload on the noobs who chill with him, and he'll go down like... your mom on a tuesday?

FOR MORE EFFECTIVE ABUSE OF THE SYSTEM!

He respawns faster than his posse. If you're a good little poppet and dive back in early you can pull him and one or two of his broodlings, rather than the whole set. All he needs is one little munchkin to dote on in order to blow his skills on it, and you can nerf him with basically welfare soloing.

Good luck!

Commento di Drakkash

Managed to kill him just before i died myself as a warrior in s2-3 arena gear

Tough battle

Commento di azinja

As a 70 hunter with a groilladin he & his adds are a breeze ofc. My monkey got a bit low (~30-40%) at times, but there was no real worry.

Keep mend pet up at all times while you have the 4 adds hanging around and it should be fine. Spam Volley until Taelan is alone and then just kill him off.

As Shivrael says he respawns faster than his buddies, and when you have him alone he's a joke for a hunter. Bam, bam, bye.

Commento di 263144

I just soloed him with a lvl 66 blue-green geared death knight. He caused some trouble but in the end he was dead.

Pulled all the adds, Death n' Decay, Unholy Blight and the usual disease-spreding and death strike spam.
Once all the adds (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=1836#abilities) were dead I faced him alone and eventually I killed him.

Reding of 70s killed by Taelan, I come to think that this cool guy may be a bit overrated :)

Commento di 329564

If you're hard headed like myself, and just refuse to give up until his death - I Recommend burning any adds you get with him FIRST.

As a 62 Enhancement Shammy, I found their (The Adds) http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=18103 to be the most annoying. Especially if it catches you in the middle of a heal.

Also, if you 'burn' him down fast enough for the last part of his health, you can avoid his Lay of Hands. Just a heads up! *smile* Unfortunately you can't 'shock' interrupt his heals, so don't sit on your shocks hoping to interrupt them.

http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=30824 + http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=51533 were a godsend. Goodluck!

Commento di 229173

Soloed him and all 4 adds as 69 rogue in questing stuff. Killed all the adds first, vanished. Killed him. It took a while, but it can be done.

I was combat spec, with almost 50% dodge BTW.

Commento di LeviGratton

Anyone have a rough idea of what armor he's wearing and what his weapon might be?

Commento di BamBam14

I just killed him as a level 60 blood DK solo, pretty easy kill. Pulled first mob in front of him, which brought 2 other mobs including Highlord Taelan Fordring. So i killed the adds with ease then proceeded to take down Taelan. He put up a good fight but whenever I got him down and he used LOH I just used Vampiric blood, mark of blood and rune tap which also reset my health. Was easy after that, he resisted all of my attempts to slow him down or use mind freeze to interrupt his healing spells. Good fight but ofcourse I come out on top solo'd as a level 60 DK on Tichondrius server.

Commento di 288482

Gratz on killing an elite guys....bet no one else has killed an elite in the entire world.

Commento di 439698

Being a bit of a lore geek here but...

In the book "Of Blood in Honor" Taelan is five..ish. The book takes place with Thrall as Warchief, so it couldn't of happened more than 7 years ago. At the very end of the book, it shows Taelan as a twenty-one year old being knighted as a Paladin as the Silver Hand, and he is obviously a Paladin as Highlord Taelan Fordring, when you fight him it either takes place 10+ years in the future, or Blizz seriously screwed up the age timeline almost the same way as they did with Whitemane, Mograin and Vishas.

Commento di Darthdavo

As of Cataclysm, Taelan has had the tower outside of Hearthglen named after him by his father, Tirion, who now resides in Mardenholde keep. Ruling over Hearthglen.

Commento di 986364

He's maybe in hearthglen look at the symbol in the picture

Commento di 972913

As of Cataclysm this NPC does no longer exist, he used to walk in Hearthglen, however Hearthglen has been rebuild and is now as it used to be back before tirion fordring (taelan's father) was expelled for saving a good friend of his named Eitrigg, who was an orc (Now trusted advisor of the Warchief himself).
Taelan was told as a child that his father had died when he was expelled, so it looks like Taelan never got to know that his father was actually alive all the time, wich seems kind of weird considering that tirion is like the worlds most famous paladin after uther the lightbringer.
