Keep your attention on Barov’s attack cues once the encounter begins; the numbers alone do not describe the space his rings, burning areas, marked attacks, and shadow wall can occupy.
What Attacks Does Azeroth Survivors Alexei Barov Use?
Barov sends rings outward in sequence. Each next ring is warned before the previous one lands, so the cues arrive in an order you can follow. He also leaves burning areas on the floor, marks an X-shaped attack followed by a cross-shaped attack, and sends a moving shadow wall across the room with a gap players can pass through.
The sequence matters for the ring attack: watch for the warning for the next ring while responding to the one already in motion. The marked shapes also come in a set order, with the cross following the X. The wall’s gap moves with the wall, so look for it as the attack advances rather than assuming it stays in one place.
| Action | Detail |
|---|---|
| Outward-moving rings | Rings spread outward in sequence. |
| Outward-moving rings | The next ring is warned before the previous one lands. |
| Burning ground | Leaves burning areas on the floor. |
| X, then a cross | Marks an X-shaped attack, then a cross-shaped attack. |
| Moving shadow wall | A shadow wall crosses the room with a gap you can pass through. |
How Do You Beat Lord Alexei Barov?
Treat each warning as a prompt to find a safe position for that attack. For the rings, follow the warnings one at a time and use ground where a ring has already landed. Avoid crossing several dangerous ring bands at once; moving through multiple bands together can put you in the path of more than one ring.
When Barov leaves burning ground, move clear of it while preserving a route for later rings and the shadow wall. For the marked attacks, find a safe position again for each shape. After dodging the X, watch for the following cross and avoid its lines. Do not assume that a position safe for the first shape will also be clear of the next one.
For the moving shadow wall, line up with its gap early and adjust as the wall moves. Cross through the gap before the wall reaches you. Keep the route in mind as you move away from burning ground, since the hazards can call for repositioning while you still need access to the opening. This keeps the fight focused on reading each cue and choosing the next safe place.
What Drops From Lord Alexei Barov?
Barov’s Tier 0.5 armor rewards use the wrists and hands slots. Warriors can receive T0.5 Bracers of Heroism or T0.5 Gauntlets of Heroism. Paladins can receive T0.5 Soulforge Bracers or T0.5 Soulforge Gauntlets. A Barov kill cannot award both of his armor pieces.
Each of Scholomance’s first four bosses has a 50% base chance to award one armor piece from its two slots. When both Barov pieces are missing, each piece has a 25% chance. If only one is missing, that piece has a 50% chance and the owned piece has a 0% chance. If both pieces are owned, each has a 25% chance to drop again.
These Scholomance armor chances, including Barov’s, are the same on every difficulty. Check the in-game Armory for the current chance on Barov’s drops. The slot and class names help identify which reward you are looking for, while the Armory gives the current chance based on which pieces you own.
