Talk:Fel Reaver (Hellfire Peninsula)

Gnomes
"internal power core that is fueled by the blood of devoured gnomes" - uh... is that correct? --Potbasher 04:39, 9 November 2006 (EST)
 * Gnomes make good food, so could be :P 04:51, 9 November 2006 (EST)


 * I removed the gnome comment, I want some proof of this. Seems to me its just gnome bias or simple put there to be amusing. --Karye December 30, 2006

The bear, I love it. Has anyone ever read Shardik?
 * Shardik was also alluded to in Steven King's Dark Tower series (specifically The Waste Lands). 07:58, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that Fel Reavers can be taken down by a normal group of level 70's.

Simple Strategy For Taking Down A Fel Reaver If You Play A Horde Toon
A typical group of level 70s should have no trouble taking down a Fel Reaver for the Shattered Halls Key Quest if they follow this simple strategy. Have your group wait just in front of the gates of Thrallmar. There is a Reaver that paths along heading west not too far out from the gates, so it won't be too long before one comes by. When you spot your quary have your group pull him back towards Thrallmar as much as possible. Every Orc guard and rider within near range will come to your aid. These Orcs are tough and you can let them do most of the work. If you have a strong tank that you can keep healed this will work every time.

Just did it
My guild (Fortitude, Horde, Argent Dawn EU) just downed one first try. We had a level 65 warrior tank it, and didn't need crazy amounts of healing. There were, I think, around 25 in the raid in total, mostly level 61, 62, and a few 63s. It dropped about 35s and 4 Mote of Shadow. PhilHibbs 11:57, 21 January 2007 (EST)

Universal Remote
Can you control it with a Universal Remote? Chriskl 20:30, 21 January 2007 (EST)


 * Yes, but success rate is only 33%. Penisnipple 18:20, 31 January 2007 (EST)
 * I think this is no longer true...I tried it the other day and got 'immune'. I am sadness. --Azaram 20:53, 24 April 2007 (EDT)
 * Definately immune. Found a screenshot I'd taken of my combat log as I was running back.
 * "Your Control Machine failed. Fel Reaver is immune."
 * "You cast Universal Remote." (And yes, it showed in that order.) --Azaram 03:46, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

This article is in need of major revision
The article repeatedly suggests that a Fel Reaver is only doable in raids. This is completely false.

On Kel'Thuzad (the server) many people have taken it down in 3-5 man groups at level 70, as it is necessary to kill him for the Shattered Halls key.

The article needs major revision to reflect the real difficulty of the encounter. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by.


 * The quest to get the key shows as a 'group 3' quest at 70. Might need a raid of 60s, but not of 70s. I plan on bearing it up and trying it out solo just for the amusement value. --Azaram 08:43, 27 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Me and My personal Holy Paladin 2 manned it. My warr, 33/28 arena specced, in mostly s4/s3 gear, and him probably in a mix of kara holy gear, crafted holy gear, and s3/s4 holy gear.  I tanked it mostly in zerker too, I might add. Graptor (talk) 11:03, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

This article also makes one think they are only in HFP.-- 20:48, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I think the mobs called 'fel reavers' are only in HFP... other fel reavery things are about, but either inert like the ones that you have to sabotage for the quest in Netherstorm, or named (like Negatron and Doomwalker). Nothing else seems to be named 'fel reaver'... --Azaram 03:59, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Then do we need a general lore page? I think we do.-- 00:00, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Fel Reavers: Bot Farmer Patrol?
This page is for facts, not rumors. Let's keep this sort of thing on the Talk page.


 * What rumors?Baggins 04:02, 30 September 2007 (UTC)


 * That if you get a fel reaver down to exactly one hit point, the armor falls off, revealing a nude pink-haired anime girl underneath, a la Neon Genesis Evangelion, sort of. --Azaram 01:29, 1 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Get a life.-- 01:33, 1 October 2007 (UTC)


 * If you mean me, get a sense of humor. :-p --Azaram 03:25, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Bear
I don't quite understand why would Blizzard replace a 5 story giant robot with a black bear. The part didn't quite make sense to me. Mr.X8 23:49, 17 October 2007 (UTC)


 * It was a joke. Unlike me (as said above), Blizz has a sense of humor.-- 23:51, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

That was about as funny as that stupid "What Wrath of the Lich King is NOT". And that little arguement wasn't about a sense of humor, it was having some sort of decency. Mr.X8 20:52, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Apparently, Blizzard employees watch the Colbert Report. KyleOmega 14:21, 10 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I found the bear thing extreamly funny, oddly....But the article makes it sound like they still look like this? Do they or should we change it to past-tense?

It says that General was full of bear-related puns? I'd like to hear some personally. Melaisis 21:46, 5 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Bear with me as I tell you that the puns were of unbearably low quality and should not bear their faces on the wiki.-- 23:54, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Solo Efforts
The comment about Nigrak from the Sha'tar soloing the fel reaver is pretty irrelevant. People have been soloing this guy since 2007. - Qia (talk) 09:34, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Sliding?
I've seen the fel reaver stop at a point south of The Temple of Telhamat, move its hands as though it were creating something or summoning a mount, then slide back to the east while doing a /train emote. Can someone else confirm this? I'll try to make a video next time I'm logged in. (server: Arathor) Centrisian (talk) 01:26, 12 February 2009 (UTC)


 * They have a dance, but I think you saw their idle animation which looks like they are revving an engine.-- 03:15, 13 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Retitled section for clarity. Centrisian (talk) 06:50, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Quite clearly he stood there as though summoning a mount, then proceeds to slide, skateboard style across hellfire peninsula. I've been camping the zone when I can, but I'm rarely there right now. Centrisian (talk) 06:32, 13 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, I have seen him doing the "slide" part many times from afar. I always thought it was some kind of lag or that, instead of running back like other mobs, it was sliding back into its designated route after chasing some player that got too close.

 * I hadn't seen anyone aggro him, but that doesn't mean it's not possible. I'll still try to camp the area to catch a video of him sliding. Any explanation of the /train emote? It fits, seeing as how he hits like one Centrisian (talk) 06:50, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
