Firelord (Warcraft III)

You may also be looking for Ragnaros or Cyrukh, who are also known as "Firelord".

Firelords are sentient elementals, more complex and powerful beings than the mindless water elementals Alliance mages call to battle. They were neutral heroes in Warcraft III, and are vicious elites in World of Warcraft that can be found in the Molten Core.

Background

From Battle.net's Warcraft III section:

Firelord from Warcraft III

Long ago, when the world was in a state of constant turmoil, the Elementals (Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water) faithfully served their Old God masters. When the Old Gods were defeated with the coming of the Titans, the Elementals were banished to an alternate plane of existence. Over time, the world became Azeroth, where Human wizards learned how to call back the Elementals through the art of summoning. The Firelord is one of these liberated Elementals. Consumed by hatred for all organic life, he roams the world he once called home, sowing chaos, wreaking vengeance, and inflicting pain with extreme prejudice.

Warcraft III

As neutral heroes, Firelords could be hired from the tavern. They could summon Lava Spawn, wreath an enemy in living fire, cast Soul Burn, and create volcanoes. These were all powerful abilities that were balanced by their mana-intensity and by the fact the Firelord had relatively low mana and hitpoints.

World of Warcraft

• Location: Molten Core
• Type: Elemental

Attacks and Abilities

• The Firelord and its spawns cannot be banished.
• Melee attacks are about 1000-1200 Fire damage.
• Summon Lava Spawn - Every so often a ripple of flame will go off and a Lava Spawn will appear.
• Soul Burn - Deals 4000 Fire damage over 30 seconds (275 every second), silences, and reduces melee damage dealt by 50%. It should be dispelled as soon as possible.

Strategy

Tank as normal, when he casts Soul Burn it should be dispelled as soon as possible. When he summons a Lava Spawn all melee DPS should focus on killing it. If it is not killed quickly it will split into two. If the lava spawn is kept close to the Firelord mages can cast [Blizzard] and help bring down both mobs quickly.

Reward

Reputation: 20 reputation with the Hydraxian Waterlords.

Notes

The respawn time is two hours. Firelords share their respawn spots with the Lava Annihilators.
