This guy turns into Klinfran the Crazed (https://www.wowhead.com/classic/npc=14534) and is part of the Stave of the Ancients quest (https://www.wowhead.com/classic/quest=7636).

He's for the Hunter epic quest, he's actually a demon.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Being a hunter currently on the epic quest, I figured I'd share with you what I've found so far.

At first glance, this demon seems to be the worst of them all, hitting you for more than 1000 damage per hit. At some point, you either read, or find out yourself, that this demon's weakness is Scorpid Sting (finally, this becomes useful). With this sting applied, he no longer deals 1000+ damage, but instead only 1.

The trick to defeat him is to open by laying down a frost trap. Put on Aspect of the Monkey, Hunter's Mark the demon, regain mana. Pull the demon with Aimed Shot, walk backwards, luring him into the trap, and wait for an emote saying "Klinfran the Crazed enters a killing frenzy" (he becomes red) - hit Scorpid Sting immediately when this happens. Working on the demon with a Demonslayer 2H sword, 3.1 attack speed, Demonslaying enchant, I do Scorpid Sting, run close, do two swings (three if the enchant procs - no Raptor Strike or Mongoose Bite - waste of mana), hit Wing Clip (rank 1), run away from him, wait for him to frenzy again, and repeat. If you put daze effect on him (Conc. Shot, Scatter Shot) DO NOT fire Scorpid Sting, as it will do absolutely NOTHING but waste your mana.

This is an endurance fight, and this seems to get to most people at some point. All about repetition. Bring a few mana potions, Major Healing Potions if needed, and perhaps a priest for fortitude buff (not really needed).

his melee attacks are no longer weakend by scorpid sting, tried every sting a hunter has but still no go....what i did was to avoid his melee range every time by cheetah aspect to keep my distance and using slowing abilitites like frost trap(since its castable in combat now) and concusive shot...scatter shot when he gets too close then i run the opposite end.., dot him up with serpent then arcane, multi..etc..then repeat..the key to this fight is STAY AWAY FROM MELEE..keep that range distance at all time...still an endurance fight..so stack up on 2-3 mana pots and ur good...this strat worked for me and hope this helps...gud luck

I don't know when they made it possible to attack him, but I was just strolling the Burning Steppes, killing elite dragonkin when Franklin came along...

I tried attacking him a few months ago, but it wasn't possible, only for the hunters who turned him into his demon form...
So I had him targeted and pressed a button by accident, putting a CoE on him...he aggrod me and kicked my ass into the twisting nether with this...
"Franklin the Friendly's Fool's Plight hits you for 8340."

Okay, I was like WTF was THAT?

So I went back and had this crazy idea that I'll try and see if I can solo him...being a warlock and all...
Waited for him to reach the road, put a Curse of Exhaustion on him so I can just kite him with DoTs...and it worked nicely until we ran like 200 yards down the road, at which point he got bored and one-shotted me again with this imba hit:
"Franklin the Friendly's Fool's Plight *hits* you for 32760."

And this is a ranged attack, he wasn't anywhere near me...in fact, he was at like 25-30 yards...So an advice - don't attack him unless you're a hunter doing your quest.

UI: Would be interesting to see how a raidgroup would fare against him, seeing how he could one-shot any tank with hits like that. :P

Kommentar von Thottbot

I tried to see if I could enslave him, thought it would make for a pretty cool pet to have even if for only 30 seconds, alas, he's immune, I should've expected that I guess.

Kommentar von Thottbot

So I'm a level 64 paladin out in Burning Steppes just training up my 1H axe skill on the elite dragonkin when this fellow Franklin the Friendly comes walking by. 60 Elite, demon.

I think, "Demon, huh? Paladins like killing demons... and I'm a 64, maybe I can take this guy."

I cast excorcism on him at close range, I die.

Combat log says "Franklin the Friendly's Fool's Plight hits you for 5186 damage. You die." He hit me for some smaller amount just before that... 500 or so.

So, I rez and kill some more dragons and he comes walking by again. I foolishly think to myself, "I wonder if that was a ranged attack."

Yeah, it was. I cast exorcism on him from a good range. I die instantly. Log says he hit me twice for 4456 and 4457 damage.

The moral of this story is... don't bother. A raid might take him since he's only got about 20K hitpoints, but this attack acts like spell reflection, so he may one shot everyone.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Just saw him...thought, WTF - let me send my summond felguard to die. No hits from my pet but he hit mypet for 266 then 299. Then he just disappeared.

I count myself lucky.

Kommentar von Thottbot

If you've got an AOE pull a random whelp and use it around him. Thunderclap worked great for me as a warrior. He does hit hard though... 5150 from his Fool's Plight.... Careful :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

he hit me for 30,000 damage on my lvl 68 druid! hes like imposible to kill now. Its like he has Martin Thunder now or somin.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Absorbed fools plight.

I attacked him knowing that he would probably kill me and was pleasently supprised when i absorbed his attack. Level 53 night elf rogue.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I sic my Felguared on him, Franklin hits him once & says something like "only a fool would continue this fight" then despawns. It's only a few minutes before he's walking by the dragonkin again & does the same thing... won't stick around.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I guess i wasn't so lucky to get hit for 5k. He 1 shotted me as a feral tanking druid(however i was in caster form with no buffs). Wasnt expecting to get hit for over 7k. Basterd didnt seem to friendly to me.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

He's one of the demons for the epic hunter quest

Kommentar von Allakhazam

lol i´ve been 1 shooted of him :/ 8k

Kommentar von Allakhazam

When you start the hunter epic quest Franklin will probably mutate into a Felguard. I've seen hunters in Burning Steppes trying to do this quest, but I've never see Franklin "turn".

Ofc, there's also that funny troll lady in Un'Goro that probably also turns into a succubus, and her doggy into a felhunter.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i decided to test his powers to day and then he ^&*!ing 1 shotted me

Kommentar von Allakhazam

hahahha hes a demon, thats so funny because hes "franklin the friendly" thats some cute twisted humor on blizzards part!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Tried to enslave him...

Fool's Plight hits you for 6328 (1524 absorbed).
You die.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

he's a demon, i can see him on my demon radar. dont know what he does though

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Yea so he's apparently for the hunter epic bow quest and also turns into some other creature

Kommentar von Allakhazam

seriously, i want to know!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

what is the deal?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i went with a hunter to help him, you cant get clost to the demon without being mounted during the fight or it despawns the demon. so you cant help heal the hunter or help kill the demon, otherwise this would be a mad easy quest.

the demon also has a 15 min spawn time.

location: roughtly 27,52

Good Luck hunter, this quest isnt fun :\

Kommentar von Allakhazam

What's his deal?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

he hit me for nearly 9k...... but he hit my felg for like 5k... so I guess he'll 1 hit ko you...... does like 110% of you health or something... (curse Fool's Plight).

Kommentar von 19013

Some known facts about this mob
- if someone else tags him while you're kiting him for a kill he despawns
- you have 15 min to kill him after you talk with him, if you fail, he despawns
- if he despawns, respawn time is 15 min (regardles of a kill or not)
- if you can't kill him, you can always ask other hunter to kill it for you (note must be in a group with him, and only you should be on that quest since only one head drops - obviously)
