With World of Warcraft Classic celebrating its 20th anniversary, players are diving back into classic dungeons and encounters. One of the most challenging and rewarding solo experiences is taking on General Angerforge in Blackrock Depths (BRD). Whether you're farming loot, grinding reputation, or simply testing your skills, this guide will provide a comprehensive strategy for soloing Angerforge.

Who is General Angerforge

General Angerforge is a level 56 elite boss located in the Hall of Crafting within Blackrock Depths. As a high-ranking Dark Iron dwarf, he commands a group of soldiers and possesses deadly abilities that can make soloing him quite difficult. His summons and AoE attacks require careful planning and execution, especially for players attempting the fight without a group.

Why Solo Angerforge

    Loot Farming – Angerforge drops valuable gear, including pre-raid BiS (Best in Slot) items.

    Gold Making – Some items he drops can be sold for WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold, making this fight a lucrative farming method.

    Reputation Gain – Players grinding Thorium Brotherhood rep can benefit from Blackrock Depths runs.

    Achievement and Challenge – Soloing an elite boss in a dungeon designed for groups is a badge of honor.

Preparation for the Fight

Before diving into combat, proper preparation is crucial. From consumables to gear, everything plays a role in determining success.

Best Classes for Soloing Angerforge

While any class can technically solo him with enough patience, the best options include:

    Hunter – Can kite and use a pet to tank.

    Warlock – Uses Voidwalker as a tank while draining Angerforge's health.

    Mage – Leverages crowd control and kiting.

    Paladin – Utilizes healing and high survivability.

    Druid – Can switch between tanking and healing forms.

If you're playing a melee DPS class like a Rogue or Warrior, the fight is harder but still possible with the right strategy.

Gear Recommendations

    High Stamina and Armor (for tanky classes).

    Spell Power & Mana Regen (for casters).

    Agility and Evasion (for Rogues and Hunters).

    Fire Resistance Gear (optional but helpful for AoE damage reduction).

Consumables to Bring

    Healing Potions – Essential for survivability.

    Mana Potions – If playing a caster or hybrid class.

    Elixirs & Buff Food – Stat-enhancing food and elixirs help boost damage and resilience.

    Swiftness Potions – Useful for kiting strategies.

If you're running low on gold for consumables, investing in WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold can help you stock up before the fight.

Solo Strategy Against General Angerforge

1. Pulling the Boss

Angerforge is surrounded by Dark Iron Dwarf adds, which make the fight more difficult if not handled properly.

    Method 1: Crowd Control & Line of Sight (LoS)

        If you have CC abilities (Polymorph, Fear, Sap), use them to handle adds.

        LoS pulling behind a wall can help separate Angerforge from his minions.

    Method 2: AoE and Burn Strategy

        If you're a class with high AoE damage (Mage, Warlock), kill the adds quickly before engaging Angerforge.

2. Fighting Angerforge

    Phase 1: Initial Damage Phase

        Start with high burst damage to lower his health before he summons reinforcements.

        Use defensive cooldowns early to mitigate his melee damage.

    Phase 2: Summoning Adds

        At 50% health, Angerforge summons Dark Iron Guards to assist him.

        Strategies for handling adds:

            Kite them away if you're a ranged class.

            CC one and burst the others if you have stuns or snares.

            Use pets or summons to keep them distracted.

    Phase 3: Execute Phase

        Once the adds are handled, finish off Angerforge.

        Use health potions and defensive skills to sustain yourself in the final moments.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

    Not Clearing Adds Before the Fight

        Pulling Angerforge along with his guards is a fast way to die. Always clear the area first.

    Underestimating His Summon Phase

        If you don't have a plan for the adds, they can overwhelm you.

    Ignoring Consumables

        Going in without health potions or buffs drastically lowers your chances of success.

    Overcommitting to Melee Combat

        Melee classes should be careful not to take too much damage without a way to heal.
