Highlord Kruul
Highlord Kruul is a doomguard boss who appears in various parts of Azeroth during the Dark Portal Opens event, introduced in Patch 2.0.3.
Background
From the World of Warcraft news page under patch 2.0.3:
It is also reported that Lord Kazzak was seen departing through the Dark Portal. In his stead he has left his minion, Highlord Kruul, to sow fear and confusion among the defenders.
Accompanied by a host of infernals, Kruul has been seen near a number of major cities in Azeroth, along with the following outdoor areas:
Preparation
After finding Highlord Kruul you will need a well geared/skilled raid. The best places to engage him are the above zones, far away from major cities so that wandering players aren't killed(this avoids the 70k heal). Due to the short enrage timer, he will put out more damage, so he requires a larger raid with more healing, dps, and tanks to finish him quicker than Kazzak. Before pulling it is important to note a few things. First, there will be a flaming area near his spawn point that periodically releases level 50 felhounds. They can be easily killed to avoid them attacking healers. Second, at each spawn there will be two boss infernals, these are easily pulled and killed away from Kruul and do not respawn.
Abilities
Most of his abilities are copies from Lord Kazzak, which is fitting since he is Kazzak's minion. He has yet to be observed doing all of Kazzak's abilities.
- Melee – No heavy melee damage with his normal attacks.
- Shadowbolt Volley – Shoots out a long range cluster of shadow bolts for around 2k damage. Even when out of line of sight players will still be hit.
- Twisted Reflection – Magic debuff that heals Highlord Kruul for 25k hp every time he attacks the afflicted player.
- Thunderclap – An AOE nature spell hitting close range players. Low damage, and slows movement speed by 33%. Rumored to have another effect.
- Void Bolt – Single target shadowbolt Kruul casts on his target. This does around 3k damage.
- Capture Soul – When a player is killed, Highlord Kruul instantly gains 70k hp.
- Enrage – The biggest difference between Lord Kazzak and Highlord Kruul is the Enrage. Highlord Kruul enrages after 1 minute, where Kazzak was 3, making the fight quite a bit more difficult.
Quotes
- "Your fate is sealed, Azeroth! I will find the Aspect Shards, and then you will not stand against our might!"
- "Your own strength feeds me, <Player>!"
- "Cower, little worms! Your heroes are nothing! Your saviors will be our first feast!"
- "Where? Where are the Shards! You cannot hide them from us!"
Loot
It is reported that he has the same loot-table as Lord Kazzak had in the Blasted Lands.
