Brawler's Guild PTR OverviewBrawler's Burly BasiliskChallenge Card: A SeagullChallenge Card: Ash'katzuumRank 1 Bosses

Oso: a bear with Shotgun Roar and Grizzly Leap. Has eaten its dwarven master Frost.

Grandpa Grumplefloot: Formerly a Challenge Card boss in Warlords, this boss summons different types of Luckydo dolls: red and white ones that explode, blue ones that heal.

Ooliss: An aberration who casts Horrific Pursuit that you must run away from.

Ulrich Forgeworth, Altor Direvith, and Arstad the Wild: The Wildhammer Council has shared health pools. Altor Direvith casts Lava Burst, Arstad the Wild casts Lightning Crash, and Ulrich Forgeworth casts Whirlwind.

Rank 2 Bosses

Dippy: This boss was formerly a Rank 2 fight in Warlords; you must keep attacking and knocking him down so he doesn't have a chance to cast Peck. Back him into a corner and he'll be deadly!

Bill the Janitor: Keeps casting Summon Broom to spawn a Boom Broom and apply the stacking debuff Bristled.

Sanoriak: Formerly a Rank 1 boss in Warlords, this boss uses a variety of fiery abilities, the deadliest of which is Firewall.

Master Paku: A tribute to Master Pakku from Avatar: The Last Airbender, Master Paku splits into three copies of himself and whirlwinds (Whirling Kick). Navigate the maze, avoiding the harmful patches on the ground, to click on a golden orb to activate Moment of Zen and make him vulnerable to attacks.

Rank 3 Bosses

Doomflipper: A "huge manatee" that's here to "seal the deal" with a strong melee attack.

Splat: Formerly a Challenge Card boss in Warlords, this ooze boss splits into more oozes via Split and leaves behind a harmful pool of Goop.

Shadowmaster Aameen: Casts Shadow Torch and Shadow Blast; the summoned Shadow Torch periodically explode (Shadow Detonation) so try to position them carefully.

Johnny Awesome: This famous Blood Elf has been seen in Hillsbrad, Illidan's flashback to the Black Temple, Feralas, Firelands and more! Here you will fight him and his sparkly pet Dazzle. He uses the abilities Shoot, Volley, and Powershot; when his pet dies, he takes increased damage while casting Revive Dazzle.

Rank 4 Bosses

Burnstachio: This boss covers the entire floor in lava and cloaks himself in Ember Shield. Rainclouds periodically clear part of the floor; run to orbs to pick up Water Shield so you can damage the boss and stay immune to Fire damage.

Meatball: This boss was formerly a Rank 4 fight in Warlords. Meatball has eaten something strange (Strange Energy) and spits Strange Feeling on the ground - run over it for a damage boost. Save defensive cooldowns for MEATBALL MAD!.

Max Megablast and Bo Bobble: This boss was formerly a Rank 7 fight in Warlords. Use Max's Gnomish Death Ray to hit Bo Bobble while avoiding damage!

Stitches: This NPC is quite famous; Stitches is the terror of Duskwood, a playable hero in Heroes of the Storm, and the namesake of several battle pets (Stitches Jr. and Stitches Jr. Jr.). Stitches surrounds himself with a puddle of ooze and if players run out, he casts Stitches' Hook which applies a stack of Hooked to the player and reduces movement speed. You will periodically need to run out to reset your ooze stacks - when Aura of Rot hits 10 stacks, you instantly die.

Rank 5 Bosses

Sonny and Wes: This musical duo dances on a fiery stage with backup Dancers. Interrupt It's Lit and Sit Down, and move out of the way of the Sound Wave and Fire when they spawn from the jukeboxes on the wall.

Razorgrin: This boss was formerly a Challenge Card boss in Warlords. Attack this boss from the back (or at ranged) to avoid the deadly Bite.

Fleasy, Greazy, Sleazy, Wheezy, Queasy: The Leper Gnome quintet has returned as a Rank 5 fight. Kite them or use cooldowns to reduce or remove the stacks of Leperous Spew, which stacks and eats away at your health.

Blackmange: This pirate spawns in front of a row of cannons, which all have fuses. These fuses are lit on the other side of the room and travel towards the cannons at different speeds. Make sure you are not in front of a cannon when it fires! Blackmange will also cast Charrrrrrge!.

Rank 6 Bosses

Topps: This large dinosaur casts the charge Dino Dash - move out of the way so it smashes into the wall and is affected by Dino Daze, taking 50% more damage. Topps will also gain Dino Determination which decreases the cast time of Dino Dash and stacks.

Millie Watt: This boss was formerly a Rank 5 boss in Warlords. Avoid her Electric Dynamite unless you need it to break the chicken polymorph Megafantastic Discombobumorphanator.

Carl: This lava worm casts Burrow and spits out lava pools which radiate walls of lava in four directions.

Hudson, Dole Dastardly, Stuffshrew. This trio is a reference to Blizzard's popular game Overwatch. Hudson, a tribute to the gorilla Winston, puts up Barrier Projector and fires Tesla Cannon and Jump Pack. Dole Dastardly, a tribute to the cowboy McCree, casts High Noon. Stuffshrew, a tribute to Junkrat, casts Maniacal Laugh. Kill Dole Dastardly before High Noon goes off, disrupt Hudson's barrier, and avoid Stuffshrew's bombs. Data points to additional Ogrewatch bosses that could be rotated in, including Blinker for Tracer, Boargut for Roadhog, Render for Reaper, and Steingardt for Rhinehardt.

Rank 7 Bosses

Nibbleh: Formerly a Rank 4 boss. This boss leaves behind a trail of poison and if it runs over its path or the pools of Spit Pool it creates at random, it will gain Nibblybuff making it very powerful! Plan out your path in advance so you are not backed in to a corner.

Serpent of Old: This boss spawns a different totem in each corner of the arena with a stacking buff: Totem of Ferocity, Warding Totem, Healing Flume Totem, Invigorating Totem. Drag the boss towards one to clear stacks from the other totems; decide which are easiest to handle based on the capabilities of your class. (In the video we go between Ferocity and Warding).

Epicus Maximus: Formerly a Legacy Challenge Card fight. This epic fight features a guitar-playing Undead on top of a dinosaur...on top of a shark with rockets! Interrupt the Blue Crush while avoiding the Destructolaser and Pure Rock'n Roll.

Ray D. Tear: The final Brawler's Guild fight is the 18th raid tier - Hellfire Citadel! This vengeful spirit will periodically transform into various bosses and use one of their signature abilities. This is also a pretty tight DPS check:
Transform: Siegemaster Mar'tak: Shockwave

Transform: Kormrok: Grasping Hand

Transform: Gurtogg Bloodboil: Acidic Wound

Transform: Kilrogg Deadeye: Death Throes

Transform: Gorefiend: Crushing Darkness

DO we have available loot and other items for purchase from various vendors yet and any side items that we need to be aware of ?7.1.5 Brawler's Guild OverviewComment by Parthmakeodid they remove the Mushan mount from the Brawler vendor or is it still there?Comment by ShelassaOh Brawler's Guild... I missed you!
Chance to fight Johny Awesome? Heck yeah. Just about as good as Gull'dan.Comment by perculiadid they remove the Mushan mount from the Brawler vendor or is it still there?Comment by NecroposThank you Blizz for not including Hexos or Ahoo'ru this time! A couple challenging fights are sticking around, but I'm pretty stoked to see so much new stuff.Comment by Shashosdid they remove the Mushan mount from the Brawler vendor or is it still there?Comment by Kenli85and Steingardt for Rhinehardt.Comment by jemuzuBut but but i love hexos :(Comment by Lostelf50k gold for the mount after grinding through all those ranks? Guess that's another feature of Legion I won't be bothering with. Blizzard seem to be hiking gold prices up to get people to buy and sell their damn WoW tokens.Comment by 266187Brawlers Guild and Proving Grounds are good ways to make people rage quit WoW.Comment by AarkanI can't wait! I love Brawler's Guild!Comment by Aarkanand Steingardt for Rhinehardt.Comment by SoeroahBrawlers Guild and Proving Grounds are good ways to make people rage quit WoW.Comment by guardiantitanDoesn't take much to get 50k gold, Lostelf. Run the WotLK and Cata raids weekly on a single toon and you can get around 10-15k depending on your luck with drops and if you can sell any BoEs on the AH. Might even hit 20k. If the pets still sell on your server, you could make a fair bit. Repeat that for a month and you'll have 50k easy. Run both sets of raids on more than one toon and you'll have 50k inside a week. You can even solo the MoP raids now so you could very well get 50k in a week with just a single toon.

Even if you only have like an hour or two to play a day, just do an old raid a day. You can run past most trash so unless you really want those greys to vendor and greens to sell, you can skip most trash. You can do a raid like Ulduar, ICC, etc inside 30 minutes.

Then class hall table missions can award you anywhere from around 500g up to 2000g or better if you get the bonus. The odd world quest might also net you 500-1000g or better. Do it with a companion that has a gold award item equipped and you get a little extra gold.

Gold's only hard to make if you don't want to make it. In that case, do you really need the item being sold? If you don't want to put in the effort to get the gold to get the item, you don't need the item. Blizzard's not requiring anyone sell their tokens. Even the 2 million gold spider mount doesn't require people sell tokens. The only way it's required is by those who don't want to put in the effort. Work for it a little and you'll eventually have what you want. Not everything has to be an instant reward.Comment by kingzenMaster Paku: A tribute to Master Pakku from Avatar: The Last Airbender, Master Paku splits into three copies of himself and whirlwinds ( Whirling Kick).

There is a minimum ilevel that makes a lot of the fights pretty arbitrary. Heroic and mythic raiders can sleep walk to Rank 8, and even then have a pretty easy time and just have to focus on the tactics of a fight. I wish it would normalize the health and damage of the encounter to your gear, so that it was challenging for everyone. It's pretty frustrating having the skill but being just slightly undergeared and hoping for RNG to give me some lucky crits to pull through in time.

Last season I completed it all, including challenge cards, with the exception of Hexos. I was playing a prot pally but geared up a ret set to around 805-ish, and it was very difficult. This season I'm just coming in with a warrior to make life easier on myself. We'll see what the gear requirements will need to be to complete it all.
