Razorgore the Untamed: tactics and loot for WoW x5
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruWho Is Razorgore the Untamed
Razorgore the Untamed is the first boss of Blackwing Lair (BWL), a dragonkin enslaved by Nefarian to guard a clutch of black dragon eggs. It is not a straight tank-and-spank but a coordination test: the raid must destroy around two dozen eggs while holding off endless waves of minions.
The key to the fight is the Orb of Domination. One player takes control of it, possesses Razorgore himself and smashes the eggs with his own abilities. Meanwhile the other 39 players defend the Orb — if the controller ever drops, the whole attempt resets.
Raid Requirements

| Type | 40-player raid |
| Min level | 60 |
| Attunement | UBRS quest chain, orb portal at the BWL entrance |

| Consumables | Fire Protection Potion, mana/health potions, AoE reagents |
Fight Mechanics
The fight has two phases and nearly all of the difficulty lives in the first one.
| Ability | Effect | Raid response |
|---|---|---|
| Orb of Domination | Grants control of Razorgore and his abilities | Controller destroys eggs, ignores everything else |
| Destroy Egg | Orb ability that destroys one egg | Break the clutch between mob waves |
| Mob waves | Dragonkin guards and Blackwing Legionnaire/Mage swarm in | AoE control, protect the Orb controller |
| Warming Flames | Damage reflected onto the player on the Orb | Healers keep the controller topped |
Phase one: eggs and defense
Until every egg is broken, all damage dealt to Razorgore is reflected onto the controller — so never accidentally attack the boss. The raid splits into defensive points at the mob entrances and an AoE group. The controller alternates Destroy Egg and Razorgore's own flame ability to break the clutch and thin the waves.
If the Orb player loses control (dies, gets stunned, gets distracted) before the last egg is gone, the fight instantly resets and the eggs respawn. Put a disciplined player on the Orb and assign them a personal healer.
Step-by-Step Tactics
1. Assign the controller. One experienced player grabs the Orb of Domination immediately and never leaves it during phase one. 2. Hold the entrances. Tanks and melee cover the points where dragonkin and mages spawn; casters focus the dangerous Blackwing Mages. 3. AoE the waves. Mages, warlocks and warriors pile the mobs together and burn them before they reach the Orb. 4. Break the eggs. Between waves the controller spends Destroy Egg on the clutch — the goal is to break all ~30 eggs. 5. Phase two. Once the clutch is gone, Razorgore breaks free enraged — the raid swaps to him and burns him down through his finishing cast.
Raid Composition
| Role | Count | Job |
|---|---|---|
| Orb controller | 1 | Destroys eggs, keeps control |
| Tanks | 2–3 | Hold defensive points and waves |
| AoE DPS | 8–10 | Burn down the minion waves |
| Healers | 8–12 | A dedicated healer on the controller + raid |
| DPS | rest | Finish Razorgore in phase two |
Razorgore the Untamed Loot
| Item | Type | For whom |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 2 token (gloves) | Token | Tier 2 gloves for several classes |
| Mantle of the Blackwing Cabal | Cloth Shoulders | Mage/Warlock/Priest |
| Spineshatter | 1h Mace | Warrior/Tank — strength and stamina |
| Arcane Infused Gem | Trinket | Casters — spell damage bonus |
Razorgore is the first Tier 2 source in BWL, so even this "technical" boss always draws a full raid: the glove tokens fill an important set-bonus slot.
Tips for WoW x5
On x5 the first phase goes faster — you break eggs less often because the waves melt under accelerated AoE:
Give the Orb controller a personal healer and agree on target priority in advance: clear the wave first, spend Destroy Egg in the gaps. Rushing eggs while a wave is alive means a dead controller and a wipe.
On x5 the raid quickly outgears Razorgore, but Orb discipline matters at any rate — it is a pure coordination test, not a DPS check.

FAQ
How does the Razorgore fight work?
The fight has two phases. In the first, one player takes control of the Orb of Domination, possesses Razorgore and uses his abilities to destroy the black dragon eggs while the rest of the raid fends off mob waves and protects the controller. Once every egg is broken, phase two begins — Razorgore breaks free and is killed directly.
Why must the Orb controller stay alive?
Until the eggs are destroyed, all damage dealt to the boss is reflected onto the controlling player. If they lose control or die, the fight instantly resets: the eggs respawn and you start over. That is why the Orb gets a dedicated guard.
What loot drops from Razorgore?
Razorgore drops Tier 2 pieces (glove tokens for several classes), the caster shoulders Mantle of the Blackwing Cabal, the one-handed Spineshatter and the Arcane Infused Gem trinket. He is the first Tier 2 source in BWL.
