First boss encounter inside Coilfang: Slave Pens. Make sure to clear the area at the bottom of the stairs before engage. Boss will put out totems to heal/dps, but other than that is a straight forward fight.

Remember to take out the totems asap, as the healing totems will heal him a few % per tick and the fire nova totems will deal 2k aoe dmg.

Pulling him directly will also cause nearly the whole room to add.

Tank and spank fight, but watch out for his totems. Assign 1 person to be on totem stoping duty.

Totems:
1.) Earthbind: AE root.
2.) Nova: after a few seconds deals AE damage. Kill it ASAP
3.) Healing Ward: Heals about 3-5% of his hp a tick. Kill it ASAP.
4.) Stoneskin: Reduces melee damage done to him.

Done this fight on Heroic mode last night. It's pretty much the same as it was before in terms of technicalities, just have to watch out for the Fire Nova totems which inflicts around 6000 fire damage on the people it hits now.

Other than that, he doesn't hit the tank very hard; especially not in comparison with the trash mobs in the instance, and people hit by the Nova can be patched up without putting too much stress on MT healing.

He has a fairly large HP pool, which will drag the fight out a little, but just make sure that you take out the Healing Ward totems and he'll fall eventually.

His totem hits for 6k in heroic.

Kommentar von 10215

As one of the posters correctly pointed out, it is the trash in these instances which on Heroic setting is less forgiving. The bosses especially here in Slave Pens we all did on 1st take last night.

One thing to note about his fire totem though - the boss only has slightly over 8k mana so it takes a short time to drain/burn it if you can spare a person for this task. This prevented him from casting the fire totems.

Heroic mode:

DO NOT DPS the fire totem.... period. It has about 10 seconds till it goes off. Have the tank simply move him about 15 yards away from it and let the fire totem explode. If you are DPS'ing the fire totem you'll find people die and this encounter is pretty hard. Otherwise I've had one instance when it was 3 manned, mage, prot warrior, holy pally.

Kommentar von lightgate

Real easy fight if you punish those totems.

I usually MT but since the OT (64 pally) only had a slow 2h I OT, dualwielding, and focused on the totems. When no totems were up, I dps'ed him ftw.

So, not a biggie as long as you spank those totems as stated above.

Uhm He droped a Epic Socket for me 11+healing 2mana 5 sec not listed

Kommentar von 70332

Ive found that if u have anyone who can drain mana, do it. Cause when he is out of mana....he caught throw totems

Kommentar von 70332

lol...i mean he cant** throw totems

As the article above says, this is an endurance battle as Mennu has 77k health (Normal mode). We did this with a Protection Paladin tanking, a feral druid dpsing and a Holy paladin healing. The most crucial aspect of the battle is taking down and keeping him and party members out of range of his totems. The earthgrab totem isn't a huge deal, but the healing ward heals him significantly if allowed to stand, which makes a long fight even longer (a dps can keep watch for the earthgrab and healing totems and take them down asap). The Corrupted Fire Nova totem hits for 2-2.5k to anyone within its range either on a timeout or knockdown. We just pulled him into the nearest hallway and the tank pulled him back and forth as and when he dropped the nova totem. It wasn't 100% crucial that no one take that hit, but made it a LOT easier on the healer and her mana store to not have to heal us through an extra 2k damage.

We have faced him 6 times for the Spellfire Longsword, and of course everything else dropped!
Princely Reign Leggings and Wastewalker Shiv dropped once, and the Tracker's Belt and Vest of Living Lightening dropped twice each, respectively.

I don't see this mentioned by any other comment here, so I'll go ahead and throw it in. The stoneskin totem does not work like normal Shaman Stoneskin, at least it did not on the Heroic mode Slave Pens run I just went on. It seemed to also be reducing all the spell damage he took as well. I'm not sure if Normal mode version works the same way. It's not a very big deal since the totem should just be killed ASAP anyways, but I thought some people might find this to be extra motivation for knocking it out a little faster on at least Heroic mode.

Kommentar von mmpedersen

Funny fact about this guy is that he drops a nice enhancement shammy belt in both normal AND heroic, though the heroic belt is just slightly better than the normal...

Notes for SOLO at 70:
I (feral druid) killed him, 15 minutes of fighting in which I could have done much better. Me:
~80k damage in
~200k damage out

1- Clear the mobs at the bottom of the ramp.
2- He can be kited (you should have boar's speed or cat's swiftness on your feet anyway ;)).
3- If you go up the ramp you can drop from the middle of the ramp without taking fall damage and use that time to bandage/heal.
4- You can charge/intercept the totems from a distance to gain distance on him and, again, use the time to heal.
5- Hearthen elixir seemed to work great.
6- A macro that might be useful (and work) to destroy the totems:
/target tainted
/target mennu's
7- I couldn't avoid his lightning bolt thing but others may have better luck.
When he started casting the lightning bolt I'd cast regrowth on me.

Kommentar von 118078

This fight is incredible simple. This is what I consider the best tactic:
A. Get a rogue or other melee class to kill the totems he drops.
I. Don't attack the Fire Nova, just move away.
B. He hits like a wimp, so the healing is easy, unless the fire novas are hit or the tank doesn't move away from them.
I. Just tank and spank, my healer actually helps DPS on him :-)
*This is based on Heroic*

Kommentar von 144452

Don't know if anyone else encountered this, but when my group took him down I used my Priest's Mana Burn to kill off his mana. After doing this I noticed something interesting, His mana regen rate is incredibly poor. I Burned him down to zero mana and he was regenerating 2, maybe 3, mana every 5 seconds. Suffice to say it made the fight incredibly easy since he could no longer drop any totems. Anyone want to verify if this was just random luck or if he really has horrific mana regen?

(This was on Heroic Difficulty with a group setup of Warrior (Tank), Dps Feral Druid, Priest (Me), Priest (Healer), Warlock)

Kommentar von Windwalk

Solo'd as a 70 mage on heroic mode.

He's quite easy and it's a matter of outlasting his mana, unless you want to be extremely vigilant about killing his healing totems.

I used mana pots, but it's definitely doable without them.

Kommentar von 135904

for druids this could help:
/targetexact Mennu's Healing Ward
/targetexact Tainted Earthgrab Totem
/targetexact Tainted Stoneskin Totem
/targetexact Corrupted Fire Nova Totem
/cast Moonfire(Rank 1)

i changeed a little totem destroyding macro to make this. Works good just not sure how this works on Corrupted Fire Nova Totem for other totems it is great.
p.s. other clases can change Moonfire with some other rank 1 instant cast spell

Kommentar von Thottbot

This one has a ton of hp, Dropped REALLY nice cloth leggins for our mage:)

Be sure to kill the Totems FAST else your as good as dead :) Just tank and max DPS ;)

300 dmg normal hit
Lightning bolt 2k dmg
Corrupted Lava Totem 1.9k dmg
Entangling Roots

Vakz 62 Rogue
Genjuros

Kommentar von Thottbot

Dont for get about the stoneskin totem, With that up, he takes little to no damage.

just let MT whack him and have DPS hit him to, but use aggro reducing abilitys periodicly. if you have a rogue have him attack the totems right when they go up, if you do that, the healer should only have to heal one person.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Do they have 5 Health like shaman totems?
Or do they have like 300 HP?
I'm asking if they should be killed with wand or a spell.

Kommentar von Thottbot

You just gotta pay attention to his resists if you're doing magic dps.

Otherwise this guy is cake. I led an exploratory group in the slave pens and we took him down the first time no problems.

Kommentar von Thottbot

He is quite straight forward, just whack the totems as soon as they appear and you should have no problems. I (rogue) was originally assigned to take them down but I have no range attacks (I'm lazy) and he tends to root you a lot, so we just had the casters wand them. Piece of cake, and he drops a very cool rogue dagger 20% of the time. It looks sexy, and we all know that's the most important thing, right?

Kommentar von Thottbot

One thing to watch out for is that his Fire Nova totem will detonate when you destroy it. Make sure that the tank/melee DPS has moved out of range of this totem to avoid taking damage.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Good Hunter/Shammy belt dropped off him with 70attack power and other stats

Kommentar von Thottbot

my group aggroed a group of about 3-4 guys, then aggroed the boss, and killed him easily, just take out the totems and dps him down, one of the easiest bosses ever. P.S. EASY ROGUE LOOT!

Kommentar von Thottbot

he's soloable by range classes with the right kiting path and fast reactions to kill healing wards

Kommentar von Thottbot

Yeah if yall had read this carefully you would realize this is the heroic version of the boss. His totems get a major buff in the heroic version, i was taking in the 6ks from his fire nova totems(as a mage, 60 FR). They also go off extremely fast as in like 2 seconds after they drop so be very quick.

Kommentar von Thottbot

He's a pretty easy boss, the only thing that is tricky are the totems u HAVE to take them out when they are putted, bets to take a dual wield player (rogue,enh sham,dps war) to take them out (spell dmg has no effect!)if u do that he's an egg to kill

Kommentar von Thottbot

maybe someone could give me the names of the totems he uses so i can make a macro set for my pet to kill his totems while i kill him

Kommentar von Thottbot

Regarding the fire totem, just move away, saves you much time and truble. Same with all totems realy, only tryed to move away from the fire nova totem, and that worked very well, but im sure moving away, like far away would save you time and truble.

He can be soloed without the kiting path :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

this guy is so annoying, the battle lasted for literally 10mins with him and in the end we lost, me lvl70 pala, 64 hunter, and 2x 64 priests, one holy one shadow, i was the tank, we were doin REALLY well and we got him to about 20% and then i got DC'd because fukin blizz pushed me out and i had to w8t in a que to get bak in for about 4mins, when i FINALLY got bak on i found he had 64% of his health, some1 had told me that at 5% he starts to get totems and healing totems and stuff so we carried on for about another 6mins and then i finally died and then everyone else died,
one thing u have to look out for when u get him about below 25% HP he'll start summoning totems, before 50% he'll be quite hard to take down, and then below 50% he'll start to get easier and easier, but then at about 25% as i said he'll start to summon some totems, and he'll keep on summoning this healing totem which heals him ALOT, the highest i saw it heal him for, he was on 69% and it healed him all the way to 75% so look out for them, get a hunter or summit on those totem adds and tell him to look out for them after 25% or so, thats my tip, or else he'll get more and more health and become more annoying :P

Kommentar von Thottbot

Tank and spank, have a rogue or hunter whack totems as they pop.

By far the easiest heroic fight in the game. If you wipe on this, BS because if you would wipe on Mennu, you would stand zero chance of every taking the coilfang defenders down before him which are much MUCH harder than Mennu.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Williamevans, thats really freakin sad.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Is this a boss on the way or is this the last boss of the instance. please reply. Im a 63 rogue.>>Im sick of having Underbog being the instance i need the stalkers fang for and having it being the last boss it drops off of...

Kommentar von Thottbot

Mennu was the first boss you encounter inside of the Slave Pens. He throws down 2 major totems. The first is his Major Healing Totem (Which heals about 60% of his life back),the second is a fire totem and it deals massive damage (1k - 2k sometimes more) so you definitely want to get that one out of the way while your tank hacks him to bits. In order for your tank to be able to continue stomping on his ass with DPS you need to have a ranged person in the background so they can take out the totems. I am a level 64 hunter and that was my job. I let my pet attack with the tank and rogue while I took out the totems as soon as they dropped. The fight lasted about 4 - 5 minutes but we downed him on our first try. Your best bet is to clear out the room with the Naga and their minions and your hunter or ranged person can pull them back into the previous room you cleared. Once you take care of them it's just a matter of having your hunter take down the totems while the tank and other melee classes whoop up on his ass and your healer does their job. He dropped the dagger and our rogue was very happy to get that.

Kommentar von Thottbot

In Heroic the Corrupted Nova totem detonates on destruction so have tank move away from it when it pops, and destroy it when everyone is out of range.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Wow, a mob that drops DIFFERENT items on heroic rather than regular! Amazing!

Kommentar von Thottbot

okay, we just wiped on mennu for the 2nd time...we're having big problems with that dam nova and heal totems, the nova totem is firing after 1 second of being put down. which shouldn't be happenin i don't think. So yea, watch out

Just took him down, you need about 2 people to deal with totems o.O

Kommentar von Allakhazam

you need to wait about 1 second after he drops them, the cast a 1.5 second cast spell and kill them, ( you may need to wait longer) if you are too soon in killing these they WILL go off, and i think if you wait too long to kill them they will go off, not sure how long they live.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

A relatively simple shaman-style boss, once you figure out what's going on with him.

He had a Lightning Bolt that hit for about 1K, and then 4 tainted totems.
The Healing totem was pretty hefty healing, and the Fire Nova went off inside of 2 secs for 2K to everyone in range.

Our party (Shadow Priest, Paladin, Warlock, Mage, Warrior) found that by burning him out of mana, the lightning went away, and we just had to keep the tank healed, and the totems thumped.

Dropped Princely Reign Leggings, which were nice for the Clothies.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

just burn of his mana and its an easy fight

Kommentar von Allakhazam

first guild run was able to score the sword making me an undead jedi now!

:P

doing the run again for the pants.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Totem of Spontaneous Regrowth 2.61% (59 / 2,262)

Wow that's low. I wonder if it only has a chance to drop when there's a shaman in the group?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Had nothing to do today so i though i'd would try some SP normal solo. I'm lvl 70 prot warrior and was barley losing any health at all on mobs. Though at this boss i quited after a few tries. Had to "kite" him around so the totems were useless (but he got healed by the healing totem anyway, like 3% and 10 when he casted spell while standing near it) and reflect the lightning bolt, popped 1 pot each try but did it to late both times, had cd on it when i was low on hp. He killed me because of me getting out of rage for spell reflection, got him to 5% and 2% in the best tries. SHould've had a healthstone or something :)

OT: Killed him today, dropper the belt and axe of the legion :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Two priests, rogue, mage and hunter. Hunter kited him around in Cheetah so his totems were useless and picked him off.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Where are The Slave Pens located? Coordinates please? :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

APPoM Mage (me)
Fury Warrior
DPS Pally
Demo Warlock
Healing Spec'd priest ( forgot what the spec is called)

All lvl 70.

Right as the warrior pulled, the Priest got DC'd. The DPS Pally had to heal for the fight which went really well. The Pally still had 60% mana when the fight was over. I was on totem duty and a few totems got off but we were fine. The fight was rough at first because we didn't know our priest got DC'd at first. The warrior wasn't getting any heals and we finally saw the priests icon in our party menu. The pally was quick on picking up heals for the warrior. After we beat the boss, we looted him and the Cord of Belief dropped. We were laughing so hard! Then we couldn't find a healer so we called it quits but not before me getting a shard and my Badge of Justice. About an hour later the priest came back on and we told him what happened and what dropped. He was frickin' mad.

Anyways, make sure you have a good connection before you engage a boss. And a back-up healer is VERY VERY helpful.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

WOOT FOR SLAVE PENIS!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

easy fight just has a crap ton of mana and does a nasty lighting bolt. make sure you knockout the healing totems cause they can keep him up for awhile.

2 Hunters
Pally

Slave pens are located in Coilfang Resovair. Its in the middle of Serpent Lake in Zangarmash. When u see a big drain, swim down in it. A little long swim, but u get underwather breath when in the drain. There are 2 instance in Coilfang Resovair. The Slave Pens and Underbog, they are naga instance.
