Sign inZevrim Thornhoof
Zevrim Thornhoof is a satyr of Dire Maul East who kills living creatures on a sacrificial altar and takes their life force for himself. He holds the treant Old Ironbark captive, and his death frees the ancient to break down the door to Alzzin the Wildshaper, the master of the wing. In Classic he was best known for a single ability: he would snatch a player onto his altar and drain the life out of them.
Background
Zevrim is one of the satyrs, night elves who were twisted into demons by the Burning Legion during the War of the Ancients. Eager to prove himself to the Legion, he promised his masters that he could enslave the ancients that still wander the ruins of Dire Maul. His own power wasn't enough, so he turned to blood magic: he butchers victims on his altar and harvests their energy as they die.
He used that power on more than ancients. In the pool beneath the altar lived the water elemental Hydrospawn, and over the years Zevrim's rituals drove it into a fury and bent it to his will. Old Ironbark, a great ancient of war, is held in his grip as well.
Abilities
- Sacrifice: Zevrim teleports a random player to his altar, stuns them and drains their health every second for 8 seconds, healing himself.
- Intense Pain: shadow damage every few seconds to everyone within 20 yards.
Strategy
Zevrim stands on a raised platform at the top of a ramp in the east wing, with his altar beside him. The fight is short but punishing for the healer: Intense Pain hits the whole group, and every Sacrifice drains a player while healing Zevrim. When someone lands on the altar, the healer tops them up and the group keeps pushing damage on Zevrim, since he can't be stopped from draining once it starts. Shadow resistance gear and potions take the edge off Intense Pain.
Once Zevrim dies, Old Ironbark becomes friendly. He thanks the group, and when they are ready, he lumbers off and smashes open the sealed door that leads to Alzzin the Wildshaper.
