Emperor Dagran Thaurissan
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruEmperor Dagran Thaurissan is the ruler of the Dark Iron clan and the final boss of Blackrock Depths. One of Classic's most sought-after dungeon bosses thanks to the Ironfoe mace and the Hand of Justice trinket.
Tactics
- Princess Moira Bronzebeard stands beside him and heals the Emperor — remove/control her first, or the fight drags on forever.
- Hand of Fire — a heavy fire strike on the aggro holder; tank holds, healer overheals.
- Avatar of Flame / fire AoE — a late fire AoE; don't stack up.
- Order: control Moira → focus the Emperor. On x5 with decent burst the finale goes down cleanly.
Notable loot
| Item | Type |
|---|---|
| Ironfoe | One-hand mace (BiS, extra attacks) |

Why this boss matters
Ironfoe is a legendary mace with a chance for extra swings, a top weapon for warriors and rogues through the whole Pre-Naxx tier; Hand of Justice is one of the best physical-DPS trinkets in the game. Both are rare drops — the Emperor is farmed repeatedly.
