Herod is a Warrior. He has a Whirlwind Attack and enrages at 50% health. In addition to these two abilities if aggro goes to some one not within a small range of him (outside his little arena area at the bottom of the room) he will sprint and do a very hard hit to whoever pulled the aggro, if it crits it can one shot them easily.

When he whirlwinds have everyone run outside of melee range (even the tank) until he stops as you won't get hit. Take this opportunity to bandage if you need to. You can still hit him with ranged attacks while he does this, but not spells.

When herod dies a bunch of Scarlet Trainees will run in (level 30 non-elites with about 100-150 hp). They don't pose much of a threat at all, melee them down or AoE them down.

Tupac has great info but I dont use that. 1st the war aggroes while noone attacks besides the heals from healer. Then when he has 75% health the rogue and pallys come in. Then the casters come in at 70%. Then thats how we are a great guild at owning herod XD go WaSaBi!

Along with that info, Herod is great to farm. Level 60 rogues can easily farm him and if you have enchanting as one of yourr profs you're guaranteed a small radiant shard everytime. That's 4-5 gold on my server.

Things to keep in mind when fighting Herod.
- Make sure your tank has aggro before his first whirlwind, guarantees that after the whirlwind he will stay on the tank, not charge towards your DPS or healers.
- When he is in whirlwind mode he is immune to everything so just back away and stop doing anything, as its pointless anyways.
- Watch out for the enrage at 30%, he can drop a tank like a matchstick, especially if you don't back away when he is whirlwinding.

Other then that pretty easy fight.

This badboy can cause a lot of problems to a group if they aren't prepared. Make sure your everyone in your group is full on hp and mana before you attack. Also, make sure that the warrior gets in at least 3 sunders in, in order to maintain aggro. Otherwise, Herod will chase after your healers and spellcasters and it will be over very quickly. Also, beware of his "Blades of Light!" and back off when he does it. Otherwise, you will be destroyed in seconds.

Spoiler Alert:

A fun little fact - if you zone into the Caverns of Time instance of Old Hillsbrads you can find little Herod (a level 5 child) as "Herod the Bully" in South Shore. He's pathing with Helcular (the later darkmage who Horde gets to unleash on Southshore) and Kel'Thuzad (still of the Kirin Tor) up and down the road.

He's so fucking cool! He kicks everybody's ass the lvl 60s have trouble with him alone if you ask me he's the ultimate boss (if you don't think about Ragnaros, Onyxia and more). He's the coolest he attacks my hunter al the time when he whirwinds because all g2 stay back when he does that or else your dead but hunter is ranged so they keep shooting and that will cause you get aggro ^^ and he will charge you and kill you.

Commento di 30359

this fight is very easy, as a hunter i mark him then just after the tank gets his 2nd hit, i cast aimed shot. then i hit rapied fire(+40% attk speed for 15sec) and unload my dps.(pet runs in with hunter) u can still unleash your dps when he is spinning just remember to pull you pet back. also as a hunter using the -5% hit chance sting is somewhat important incase herod gets loss on the healers, gives em a chance to get a free miss. all-in-all this is a VERY easy boss with no adds and awsome drops.

Commento di 36466

quick question. this guy drops sentinels stuff. why does he drop that if he is a scarlet fghter?

Commento di 37085

Fight is an easy one if you gotr the right group...
Priest
Warrior
Mage
Warlock
(anyone that'll help preferebly DPS)

I am a shadow priest but i have my healing gear which adds about 250 to my healing so I was good overall and the warrior was pretty smart he knew to keep agro and to back up when Herod did his whirlwind. and the warlock made a soulstone incase someone was to die and did some nice crits on Herod. When the level 30(non-elites) came out the mage just A.O.E'd them and I(the priest) would heal all of the guys that were on him when they were out of the A.O.E range. This fight didn't last long we got Scarlet Leggings, a Lockbox, money, and mageweave. Off the level 30'z we got (Strong Lockbox, money, and a crappy ring). That was my best run if I was running for items but me being a clothie I didn't have much use for any of the items that he droped except the mageweave and money. I got about 4G off the run but i ran it with 4 people. So if you 5 man SM-Arm, witch in most cases is un-needed unless you truly suck. But me and a 70 ran through SM-Arm. 17 times and we got the full scarlet set +2 extra pairs of gloves, + 1 extra set of leggings, and a lot of silk cloth.(Was not useful cuz i was 36 and a 300 tailor so i was "out leveled" of silk cloth) TONS of sucky green items that are good to "DE" when you run the instance a lot! Hope this helped! :D

As a Rogue, your "Evasion" ability has a nearly 100% chance of eluding his Whirlwind. If you feel the need to lay some extra (or finishing) DPS, this is the time.

watch out when he says "light give me strength" then "blades of light!" then he does a devastating spin attack he killed me the other day with it but i was level 30 still deavestating

Commento di 73576

Farmable for a Rogue as early as Level 49! Here's what you do:

1. Make sure you have exceptional gear. Blazewind Breastplate, Forest Stalker Wrist, Gloves of Holy Might, Thrashblade, Shadowblade, Fiery on your weapons, etc. Basically, if you are pwning Battleground at your level, then you have the gear for this job. If you're not, then you don't.

2. Stock up on Mageweave Bandages, Combat Healing Potion, and Swiftthistle Tea.

3. Possess Talisman of Arathor and Cold Eye Basilisk.

4. Have Wound Poison IV on your weapons.

5. Your Talent Build must be geared towards the Assassination tree. You must have Cold Blood and Seal Fate 5x, and Vigor. You must also have Improved Expose Armor 2x. You must also have Evisecerate 3x.

So sneak past all the mobs in SM: Armory. Unlock Herod's door, preferrably with lockpick to level your lockpick ability up.

Before you confront Herod, remember that your stunlock will not work on him. This includes Gouge, Kidney Shot and Blind. So if you are a dagger rogue who relies on stunlock/backstab, that will not work for this fight. Replace your main-hand with something else. I prefer Thrash Blade for the job.

Open with Garrote, Cold Eye Basilisk, Sinister Strike 3x.. by now, all your energy should be gone. Use a Swiftthistle tea to bring your energy back up. Continue with SS until you get 5 combo points, and then use Expose Armor. Continue with SS, but before you can get 5 combo points Herod will unleash his first Whirlwind.

He is immune to all attacks except range when he uses Whirlwind, so take this time to Sprint away and bandage yourself. It is helpful to keybind a "target self" and "Mageweave bandage" to quickly bandage yourself. For me, I bind "target self" to keypad "D" and "Mageweave bandage" to "F" so it is simple.

After his Whirlwind is done, he will rush at you. Since you have Improved Expose Armor, he is vulnerable to your attacks for a few more seconds. Quickly build up your combo points to 5, use Cold Blood, and Eviscerate him. This should take a healthy 1600hp off of him.

After you deal this damage, he will either Whirlwind or call on "Light Give me Strength". As soon as you hear his "Light Give me Strength" voice, enable Dodge. His very first attack after calling on will be devastating, so having your Dodge up will negate his attack. Continue with SS-->Eviscerate, running away when he is using Whirlwind and attacking him with range. Since you are still freshly bandaged, the only way for you to heal yourself is with a potion. Use your pot when you have halfway health, and use your Talisman of Arathor after Dodge fades from you. Continue attacking him until he dies, quickly loot his corpse for your goods, and then use Stealth to avoid his SM lackeys.

As a note, since your Rogue relies on procs and chances to deal his damage (especially with Thrash blade) victory is never certain. Furthermore, you can enable Dodge and Herod will still have a chance of dealing a huge amount of damage to you after his "Light Give me Strength." This is still a hard fight, and I recommend soloing Herod only if you're an Enchanter who is looking to make some cash with Small Radiant Shard but you don't want to level up. Even at higher levels, this is still the template on how to defeat Herod as a Rogue.

As i was killing Herod i found that he was using "bladestorm" 4 time every quarter his health went so if you have a paladin when he is near 1 quarter of his health use Hammer Of Justice then he doesn't do it.

this took really long to get scarlet leggings of him.

How do you summon Herod, i was there with a group and he wasnt there, we stayed there for like 10 mins he did not show...

Herod

Hunters: After tank(s) agro use concussion shot and then any over time shots before auto shooting, having a cat would be nice. When Herod is whirl winding back off and set a freezing trap right outside of his melee range. After everyone’s health up go full throttle.

Mage: After tank(s) agro use frost nova then use most damaging spells until frost nova wears off, then you use ice moves which slow him down. When he’s whirl winding use AOE spells (blizzard would be the best.) When mobs come out while fighting or after Herod’s dead use frost nova then blizzard.

Priest: After tank(s) agro use all over time curses/spells then completely focus on healing. If someone’s going to die or you’re being aggroed by mobs sent out use psychic scream.

Rogue: when tanks go to agro stealth behind Herod and use garrote/sap which ever is better use to your party. Try and use a lot of over time spells until he enrages at 50% health. Then use high power attacks and assassinations.

Shaman: Before battle enchant everyone’s weapons to the enchantment that suites them best. Shadow behind rogues and warriors so after they agro you can use totems (fire and stoneskin/earth) then back off and use long range spells until you can’t anymore. Once he’s whirl winding use long range spells once again.

Druid: Before tanks attack use entangling roots and while their attacking heal them but focus more on long range attacks unless you’re the healer. If you’re not the healer at 50% health when he enrages shape shift into you’re most powerful form and go merciless on him.

Warlock: After tank(s) agro send out pet with hunter and use all over time spells, curses and stuns (use stuns after everyone’s slowdowns wear off) then use all powerful attacks. If running low on health or mana use drains.

Warrior: Use demoralizing shout disarm and make sure you’re in berserker stance at the beginning. Use as much high power attacks as possible then once he’s almost dead use execute. Change stances if needed to and use as much things as possible to stop him from using whirlwind. At start run in to agro.

Paladin: Run in and use consecration (if protection spec use all blessings/spells and if your retribution use your seal with blessing of might.) With warrior try and stop him from using whirlwind. Once low in health use shields and heal and re buff.

Party: All back off in group in a corner if you have a hunter when he is whirl winding so he’ll definitely fall into the hunters trap. Pay a little attention to the priest to so if he’s running low someone can switch off with him.

Farming him with 55 warrior without any problem.
Just passing the mobs on the way.

Commento di 90657

This is my comment from thott, although Herod is "easy", when you're with a group of silly people, he can hurt, so here is my strat:

When you first reach Herods room, make sure everyone is full HP/Mana, buff everyone too.

Healers need to stay very alert, this guy truly hits like a truck.

Have the tank jump down to Herod and let him engage the fight, other DPS classes shouldn't start doing the damage right away, let the Warrior (or any other "tank") do some threat Damage and then start doing the damage. This is because Herod really hits heavy, Rogues should stay alert and don't grab his aggro, because the healer will quickly run out of mana for you.

Herod only has 2 abilities, one of them is really important and you should ALWAYS alert your group about it:
- When he yells "Blades of Light!" EVERYONE stop doing damage to him and back off from his range, he will engage in a spinning move that will eat your HP like a fat kid on pie. Take advantage of this though, he will stop for a few seconds for this attack and as long you are away from him, you can use bandages and save the healer some mana.

His other ability ( you can't really do anything about it) is when he yells "Light give me strength!" he will enrage (something like Blood Fury) and do even more damage, he will only use this later in the fight so healer pay extra attention to this.
---
Tips:
Stay in the ground, don't use the stairs, healers might miss the healing spells because you are running around like an idiot.

Hunters are the only ones that can damage Herod when he does his spinning move, Arcane shot won't work but the normal Auto shoot will, so use that.
Don't forget to call your pets when he starts his spinning move.

Make sure you have potions ready, early healers might run out of mana and that's never a good thing, use bandages when he does his spinning attack as well.
---
Herod has over 10k of HP, and he his partially immune to fire/frost/etc. It will be a long fight.

When you finally down him, loot him immediately and roll fast, the room will get flooded by lvl 20 peasants who only have 100 hp, but if your group struggled against Herod, they can sometimes hurt.
Either way they are quite easy to kill, just concentrate your group in one place and use a AoE. They will die fast enough. Check every body because one of them usually has a Scarlet Tabard, for all you fashion freaks out there :).

Hope this helps.

Commento di 91650

He seems to spawn a bunch of elite adds if the fight begins with people outside his room. Anyone care to confirm or disprove this?

Commento di Chronius

Has blizzard added something new to Herod?
Cause my group did Herod 3 times and on the third time he summoned 4 Scarlet champions, the ones you fight inside the cathedral. We ofc wiped and when we returned they were all lined up in the corridor leading down to herods door, standing side by side.

Commento di Silverado

As of patch 2.3.0, Herod is now a level 37 elite.

Commento di Lightcloud

Herod is great for farming small radiant shards, I, as a hunet lvl 57, can run to him, and fiegn death if i aggro, and fight him, take his drop, and disenchant it, and the shards sell for about 10g in ah, i can do this about 4 or 5 times till it say u have entered to many instances, easily make money for epic mount since if u can do it good, u can do it in like 6 min.

for those of you who like a little background from the real world, this guy is named after Herod the Roman, who the Romans appointed leader of Judaea, Idumea and Environs--if he could conquer it!

In 37 B.C. he attacked Jerusalem and after his victory, the golden eagle of Rome was raised above the temple gate.

I love it when I see dumb hunters using this guy's gear. The Armor is bad for them, but the axe is worse than having no weapon at all.

The Armor has strength which = very bad for hunters.
The Weapon adds no stats, and in pvp if you go to wing clip and it procs you're !@#$ed :D

Commento di 91138

I did a run with my 39 Retribution Pally and a 63 warrior friend to try and get the axe, I have the rest of the Scarlet set so I want this to complete it.

We got to Herod and I wanted to see if I could solo him, so I gave it a go. Used Retribution Aura and Blessing of might, 1H weapon (Ardent Custodian) + Shield; this gives me 2767 health and 1500 mana. I attacked using a Judgement of the crusader and Blessing of Command, which I judged and refreshed as often as possible.

I backed off and healed or bandaged myself everytime he did whirlwind and used mana pot twice, also had to use Lay on Hands, but I got him down completely on my own with about 10% health and no mana left. Just enough time to bandage and mana pot for the trainee's.

I may be extremely well geared but he was easier than I thought he would be considering he has 11000 health, just back off when he whirlwinds and use the opportunty to heal and bandage.

He dropped the shoulder for about the 10th time, I've seen the legs about 4 or 5 times and the helm a few times too. I think it knows I want the axe!

Just FYI: Herod can be Dismantled by a Rogue quite easily. However, despite the tooltip here on WoWHead indicating his "Blades of Light" Whirlwind does weapon damage + 0, dismantling him does not affect this - he will still strike as normal, albeit with his hands empty.

I'm not sure if it was just a bug or something but once running this through Herod started speaking demonic. Yeah, I'm not kidding. The whole group was like "wtf O_O". Maybe the macro speech/insults the tanks continued spew at him through the whole battle annoyed him so much. xD

Do you ever think that Herod's signature call "Light, give me strength!" is just a plea for sanity?

this guy is a fun fight, but keep a eye on every 1 thats melee if your a heals as he can do some nasty hits with his whirlwind. try to not hit him until the attack ends, over all great boss. whats funny is that its nearly posable to loot his outfit just not the boots or gloves but still great mog idea. Lets hope he an the rest of The Scarlet Crusade Come Back i the 90 heroic!
