Ras Frostwhisper (the Lich)
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruRas Frostwhisper is a powerful lich guarding Scholomance's Viewing Room. He is a prime source of pre-raid BiS caster gear.
Getting There
The Viewing Room door opens with the Viewing Room Key — it drops from Rattlegore. You can't reach the boss without it.
Dawn's Gambit
An Argent Dawn quest grants Dawn's Gambit: use it during the run and it weakens Ras Frostwhisper, stripping his magic protection. With Dawn's Gambit the fight is much easier; without it the lich hits far harder. See Argent Dawn reputation.
Tactics
- Ras casts Frostbolt (heavy direct damage) and Chill Nova — an AoE frost slow. Keep range and spread out.
- Periodic Fear breaks positioning — bring Tremor Totem/Fear Ward where possible.
- Interrupt Frostbolt (Kick, Counterspell, Earth Shock) to cut incoming damage.
Notable Loot (Pre-Raid BiS)
| Item | Type | For Whom |
|---|---|---|
| Circlet of Restless Dreams | Cloth head | One of the best pre-raid caster/healer helms |
| Bonecreeper Stylus | Dagger | +spell power — BiS for casters |
| Spellbound Tome | Off-hand | +spell power |
| Recipe: Flask of Supreme Power | Alchemy recipe | Top mana flask |
Tips for x5
- Grab Dawn's Gambit beforehand — it's the biggest ease-of-fight boost.
- Circlet of Restless Dreams is a priority drop for pre-raid mages/warlocks/priests; see pre-raid BiS.
