How hard is the green fire quest?

[Gimlix]

I am a achievement farmer and i heard u get a FoS for completing the green fire quest before WoD.
So i want it, but how hard will it be to get it?

I never played a warlock, i got a lvl 77 warlock or something but i can level him to 90.

Can i get the fire quest or will it be near to impossible for me?

[Illuminance]

You have perhaps almost 6 months to level to 90, gear your warlock, and learn to play the class (way more than enough time). The quest line itself isn't that difficult if you read a guide or two and are decent at the game. Should be plenty doable.

[Jarg]

Yeah, I'm also interested in the recent experiences, at what item level should it be possible? Timeless gear maybe?

[ro9ue]

Curious as well: is it something you can out gear or are there solo scenarios that scale you down in item level

[Aseren]

The higher your gear the faster you'll kill him, meaning the less waves of adds you'll need to kill. It's all just about learning to use the various abilities of your warlock and removing your dots. I heard about the title so decided I wanted it when it gets added. I don't often play my warlock so wasn't very well geared so the fight took a little longer and a few wipes 'til I understood how I should be doing it. If you can play your warlock well it should come pretty quickly if not expect some wipes until you can understand each part of the fight.

people did it at 476 back in the day. With timeless gear it would make the fight easier but it will still be a challenge. I did it before the threat drop was removed on the gateway so not sure how it affects lower geared toons. Now I just do it for shits and giggles while out gearing it and kill him before he does anything worth mentioning. I'd assume anyone geared 515+ would be able to do it with out much trouble. The higher your gear the easier it is and the faster you beat him the fewer mobs he summons (meaning he summons in in order 1st is the pit lord, 2nd the imps, 3rd the fel hounds, 4th the doom lord, then he goes back to imps, hounds. doom lord). SO the faster you beat him, the fewer summon phases you deal with.

SoO lfr gear and trinkets would probably enable you to kill the final boss "easily" so to speak.

[Gimlix]

Aight i will start leveling my lock today then, any tips what spec to be and what i need most?

[Valq]

Destruction would be the way to go, its easy to learn and makes managing that fight much easier than the other 2 speccs.

Got him to 50% on my 521 destro lock.
He is very very hard, I found garrosh easier to defeat than him!
I'd say full flex gear at least is what's needed to down him with little trouble.

Even at 522+ iLvL make sure you create and use the Macro's for the fight
(Link: Guide with Macro in the Comments for the Fight over at WoWHead)

One mistake and you can still wipe no matter what iLvL you are, but with the macro's, and a little reading into the fight you should manage it within a few attempts.

I highly recommend watching a video of the boss fight on YouTube.

It is very hard. I gave up for the time being. I couldn't kill the first boss with a mix of Timeless and LFR gear. Ilevel 505

I just tried it to see. I prefer the look of the normal fire anyway. Especially on the mounts.

[rpdrichard]

563 gear, legendary cloack, normal inmerseus trinket, sha weapon, 13 tryes to get him down, I'm not really good at my warlock xD

Got him to 50% on my 521 destro lock.

521 and only 50%?

Um, he's hard, but not that bad. I got him at 488 on my lock.

[Kalcheus]

While I'm sure having the Legendary Cloak makes it easier, is it something I should start working on? I'm at ilvl 503 now and plan to work on it in earnest when at i520. I've done nothing for the Legendary questline (boosted toon), and the announced buff doesn't really help all that much at the beginning of the quests.

[Mage of Rage]

It only took me four tries with a 520~ish ilvl and the same strat as in vids when dealing with the hounds. Once you learn how to point to Pit Lord away it gets hella easy.
In terms of difficulty it's easier than the last few bosses of Brawler's Guild.

[Granyala]

Fight is tough and doesn't allow mistakes. You have to use your Control demon and the abilities of the pitlord properly, while negating the attacks from the boss himself.
Tried it with 480ish level gear, but as someone that only plays Warlock on very rare occasions I didn't stand a chance.

I'll faceroll him next addon, because I can't stand the thought of gearing up further in that SoO LFR nightmare.

It is legitimately difficult, regardless of item level, messing up WILL kill you. I did in 523 ilevel and it was still really hard. It's a long fight and you have to juggle 3-5 things the entire fight or else you will die.

The most difficult part for me was timing and placing the Pit Lord when the Fel Hunters spawned, and then killing the Fel Hunters before they ate me. Once I got that down, it wasn't as stressful, but was still hard.

It's a 5-10 minute figh depending on how well geared you are, and at any point in that time frame you let something slip, you wil die pretty quickly.

Destruction is by far the best way to go, Affliction doesn't generally have enough burst to kill the Fel Hunters in a timely manner or burn him down from 20%, and you already have enough going on managing the Pit Lord and all of the adds that managing another pet that can die at any time (and therefore lose a large part of your DPS) Demonology just isn't optimal.

[Banzubie]

I knocked it out in some crafted pvp gear and a few random epics. It is a damn hard fight, probably took me around 30 tries. It helps a lot if you really know how to play your class.
