High King Maulgar comes along with four other ogres (Kiggler the Crazed, Blindeye the Seer, Olm the Summoner and Krosh Firehand). Each of the other ogres has a specific class and can most likely be countered by its own class.

Kiggler the Crazed - Shaman
Blindeye the Seer - Priest
Olm the Summoner - Warlock
Krosh Firehand - Mage

Kiggler can be kited by either a shaman or hunter as he deals heavy magical damage with his lightning bolts.

Blindeye needs a tank and offensive dispeller. The tank takes aggro while the dispeller(shaman or priest) removes the power word shield that makes Blindeye immune to interrupts. Then interrupt all heals.

Olm the summoner can be countered by a lock that enslaves the felhounds to tank him.

Krosh can be tanked with a mage using spellsteal to steal Krosh's fireward to tank his fireballs.

The shield is not dispelable anymore. at least not with dispel magic/purge.
Maybe the ability of the felhounds work.
But anyway, the shield absorbs 25k damage, worste case you need to outdps it.

The King hits on a druid with 65% mitigation for around 5k normal hits, can be upto 9k crushings and his special ability can be around 9k too.
with bad luck you get melee swing and special ability in the same second, that can be 13k damage burst.

The trash do respawn after 1 hour.

Commentaire de 17424

an addition:
at 50% he dont use his weapons anymore and he get a "buff"
+200% movement speed
- 50% physical damage
also he can charge people now and has fear.
spread out and have an offtank on him as soon as possible.

healing wise its getting easier from that point. no more danger of a oneshot.

Commentaire de devolore

If you're having trouble with the Warlock (Olm the Summoner) running around and killing people at the pull before his felhound can be enslaved and used to tank him, try having an extra hunter misdirect aggro onto another player (anyone with a fair amount of hit points should do, though we had a prot paladin doing it with around 12k), who should be standing in the opening of the tunnel to the room. That player will then turn and run toward the instance entrance, with Olm the Summoner chasing after him. This usually gives one of your enslaving warlocks plenty of time to pick up a felhound and sic it on him before Olm catches up and death coils the tank.

We had no need to dispel the shield on Blindeye, so long as you have a decent amount of DPS you can just burn through the shield and then interrupt (which saves your priests a bunch of mana).

Kill order should be:
1. Blindeye the Seer (Priest)
2. Olm the Summoner (Warlock)
3. Ranged DPS on Krosh Firehand, melee DPS on Maulgar
4. Ranged DPS on Kiggler the Crazed, melee DPS on Maulgar
5. All DPS on Maulgar.

Be sure that your melee DPS stays away from Kiggler and Krosh, and runs out when Maulgar is about to whirlwind.

When you enslave the felhunter from Olm the Summoner, the pet comes with 3 abilites. The 1st is an auto cast damage spell with a 5 second cooldown. It shares cooldown with the dispel, so make sure to right click on it to turn off auto cast. The 2nd is a self dispel with a 10 sec cooldown, use it to get rid of the DoT on the felhunter. The 3rd is a 20 yrd taunt ability, use it on Olm the moment you enslave the felhunter. Olm will summon a new felhunters every 50 or so seconds, so just let another lock enslave the new ones.

Does the mage have to have 10k unbuffed hp? And what's the strat on that guy if there is one.

Commentaire de SilverKnight

Successfully killing High King Maulgar is really about the pull. You need to pull 5 different bosses all at once, and get them to the right places. Some of them have AoE heals, some have AoE attacks, so positioning is what it is all about.

The shield on the priest IS dispellable, but ONLY by mass dispel from a priest, nothing else will remove it.

If you find yourself short on tanks know that Blindeye can be stunlocked. I was tanking him and accidentally hit concussive blow... to my surprise it worked. After our first wipe we had three rogues constantly stunlocking him. The priest has the most health and goes down the slowest, the other three could be downed before this guy.... of course that assumes you have a decent number of rogues that can time their attacks properly and or can vanish at the right time.

Commentaire de 33548

Silencing Shot goes through the priests' shield for the AoE heal he does.

Commentaire de Cicero

Bugged on us last tonight. Kiggler did his AOE thing at one point which knocked the tank up onto the boulders behind where he was tanking and suddenly became unhealable due to LOS. The tank said he was stuck in place on the wall and couldn't move.

Maulgar followed the tank up onto the boulders and finished him off (we couldn't heal him), then probably the strangest bug I've ever encountered started to happen.

One by one we started to get 'teleported' to the spot where Maulgar was still standing on the boulders and he one-shotted us. Even those who were running towards the entrance by this point were teleported all the way back to that spot.

Maulgar eventually reset and we downed him on the next attempt.

Commentaire de 54335

When we did this we actually found the shaman goes down a lot faster than the warlock. We kept two warriors on Olm the Summoner to assist the warlock so that arrangement could be held as long as we wanted.. Once we got down the shaman we killed the warlock, ranged on the mage and than melees on Maulgar. When we initially did it healers were running low on mana nearing the end of the fight, doing it this way shaved off enough seconds to make a difference.

Commentaire de 76933

Just a note for first timers.

Though the fight does get progressively easier as his 4 adds are killed, as soon as he enrages, things get very chaotic. Your tank(s) will have a very hard time keeping him under control as he randomly charges and fears very often. The best advice I can give is try to spread out and keep up the DPS, it would suck to make it this far and die because of the ensuing chaos.

Commentaire de Nummytaterz

Drops 2 T4 should tokens and 1 random item everytime.

Sorry edit now he drops 3 tokens to fasten progression all bosses who drop T4 - T6 now drop 3 tokens

Commentaire de 100734

if u go to gruul's lair u will always need locks cause the warlock summons some felhunters and they does much damage... so you only have to banish/enslave the felhunters and then it will be easier to kill high king maulgar. i have a 70 druid feral. i was dps, we killed him without 1 wipe so we had a strong group:) he dropped Pauldrons of the Fallen Defender
Binds when picked up
Classes: Warrior, Priest, Druid
Requires Level 70

it was very nice for me cause i could have it and i getted it i was happy. i received at the vendor at the scyers:
Mantle of Malorne very nice! the next boss, gruul the dragon killer we owned him with 1 wipe:( but that was the first time that my guild killed gruul the dragon killer everyone was HAPPY! and the GM said: SERPENTSHRINE CAVERN! HERE WE COME WE GONNA OWNE YOU! :P very funny:)

Be warned, if u get kicked onto the rocks opposite High King during the fight, HE WILL RESET. You are also able to simply jump onto the rocks so make sure you don't do that either.

Commentaire de 53060

About how much spell hit should locks need for enslaving the demons?

Commentaire de Kathucka

Blindeye can be silenced through his shield, but the regular interrupts don't work. Once his shield is down, he can be interrupted with any damage. The following spells and effects have silence components and should work:

Silence (priest talent)
Counterspell (mage spell) with Improved Counterspell talent
Spell Lock (warlock felhound spell)
Silencing Shot (hunter talent)
Kick (rogue ability) with Improved Kick talent
Shield Bash (warrior ability) with Improved Shield Bash talent
Arcane Torrent (Blood Elf racial ability)

Commentaire de Lizzle

19 manned by the guild Mediocrity, Suramar realm.

Tanks were
1 Prot Warrior (on Maulgar)
1 Prot Paladin (on Olm)
1 Feral Druid (on Blindeye)
1 Moonkin (on Kiggler)
1 Fire mage (on Krosh)

Healers were
3 Holy Priests
1 Resto Druid
1 Holy Pally

DPS were
2 Shaman (1 Enhancement, 1 Elemental)
2 Mages
1 Warlock
1 Shadow Priest
1 Ret Pally
2 Hunters

Took three pulls, first one Olm was pulled too late to his tanking spot, due to a pet being sent in too early. Second was due to problems with Kiggler. At the beginning we had all DPS that was not tanking, DPS Blindeye, then moved all ranged to Kiggler (since we were short on DPS), then to Olm, Krosh, and finally Maulgar. Found that using a pally tank on Olm can be quite useful. Throwing consecrate down when he summons his pet makes the pet stick to you long enough for a warlock to enslave it.

Last pull no deaths. Was a really fun fight. Kept our healers on their toes! lol

Also, most raid members were in Kara/Badge gear. This was our second Maulgar kill so far and only 25 man we have entered thus far.

According to the completion text of Into the Soulgrinder, Maulgar is merely a puppet king. I thought it was some interesting lore worth noting - even if I'm years behind.

Commentaire de 57336

Maulgar can be single pulled by a hunter using misdirect and feign death. I'm not exactly sure on the specifics beyond this but I play on a foreign, (non american server) and we do this zone every week with 10 guys. It usually takes an experienced hunter a couple tries to make it work but single pull is possible.

Commentaire de Rained

This boss is easily 3-manned at 80, bring a dps class that can interrupt the heals, a tank, and a resto druid who can now tank both Kiggler (shaman) and Krosh (mage) in tree form by healing through the raw damage.

Commentaire de Desideratus

With a group of 20 or so pugged 80s, some 70s in the mix, we could simply pile them all together on one tank (40k HP with a healer) and tank and spank the whole group.

Commentaire de 610676

This fight is, in my opinion, harder than Gruul, actually. Simply because the fight requires more raid awareness and there is a danger of even tanks being one-shotted (unless your tank is a geared 80 :D). Gruul is much easier: range check 8 yards, tank and spank.

Commentaire de Meepmeep

As a druid tank in Full heroic gear +5 359 epic pieces, this guy is completely unsoloable because of the Warlock ogre (Olm the Summoner), he uses death coil on you about every 6-8 seconds, which is a 3 second horror effect (which berserk doesnt protect against), and while feared the priest will occasionally heal him as well, and it goes in a similar fashion if you try take out the priest first

Commentaire de Sauron0

Just soloed this guy Today !

Char: Sauron / Server: Ragnaros (LA)

Warlock, did it with pvp set (mostly) and pvp talents with demonology and few aflly (siphon life)

I have soloed a lot of stuff and let me tell u this, this was the worst and harder fight ever.

Worst that Baron Geddon back in the lvl 80 days.

Dint FRAPS or anything, ill try to upload to youtube next week if i can do it again, the fight is a hell, but u need to know a few things:

1.- You need to enter with Inferno + Demon Form + Felguard Felstorm

2: The felguard need to be closer to the fight, actually closer than the warlock dude, because his perma death coil will kill u, after many wipes i saw he only coiled my Felguard when he was closer to him.

3: You have only a few seconds to kill the priest, fight him with everything, ur felguard (with caution for not breaking the rule 2), inferno, yourself in demon form and ur burn aura, instant soulfire, all dots, u will fail a lot of times and u will wipe, even with practice its a hard thing to do.

4: Priest down, go for the lock, u may lose ur felguard at this point, so be ready to instant demonic rebirth and then Soulshatter, aggro the king and the lock with ur Felguard ASAP, its OK if the mage and the saman are on you.

5: Kill the lock but make time to heal ur Felguard, u will need to have aggro on some stuff, even the elite felhunter summoned, otherwise you will get PERMA-Sheep from the mage, and ur felguard will die, u need to be damaged.

6: Focus on mage, and full dots on shaman, he will die easy, and the mage not, but u cannot be perma sheeped with the saman on ur tail, once again, make time to heal ur pet.

7: 3 dudes down, the fight is yours, the shaman should be death or almost death by now, focus him with ur pet and u

8: King alone is a joke, u can /spit him now, and solo his ass.

Like i said, this took my many wipes and like 3 hours of learning and practice timers, u need to practice when to use Shatter to avoid aggro of many things, but u need aggro of a few things actually, the first hard thing is to kill the priest, then is to keep ur pet alive.

Good luck fellow warlocks and have fun.

Commentaire de 486979

just 2 manned him today with 85 frost mage (i'm assa rogue myself).The fight is very nasty and took us 5 attempts to down him, even tho we were at 10% hp.
First of all.Your mage needs to aggro Firehand and spellsteal the shield everytime it's up.Meanwhile his pet should take care of the warlock and absorb some dmg.What i did was killing the priest very quickly (used kidney shot as its very helpful).However expect a lot of fers and disarms...The key to this fight is killing priest as soon as possible while minimalizing damage taken

Commentaire de 566107

Downed Maulgar today as a lock
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytJgjrC7EPc

Basicly if you get priest down 1st and shammy 2nd then the fight is yours. The spawned felpuppies dies quick and besides they are barely any issue at all compared to shammy sheep and lock´s death coils to a smaller extent.

Commentaire de 718734

Can't solo this as a warrior fury/arm

Commentaire de 773956

Can be solo'd by a hunter. I'll record next week and post.

For any hunter wanting to solo it- Marksmanship spec is the way to go in this fight. Silencing shot does work on the priest. Although oddly enough, it does not work on the priest trash pulls before and after HKM.

Glyphs- Glyph of mend pet, and glyph of misdirection are extremely helpful in this fight.
Pet- Turtle

Strategy- Put MD on your pet, and send the pet after the priest. Use both the Turtle Shell (50% damage reduction) and Cower (40%) at the same time when your pet reaches the group. The reason for this is so you don't have to use Mend Pet right away and generate unwanted threat from the other CC spamming ogres. Open with 2- Multi-shots. Now use all your CD's (Rapid fire/trinket), and burn the priest down. When the priest approaches 50% HP, that is when you want to use your silencing shot.

After the priest is down, make sure you are keeping Mend Pet up at ALL times. Even with a tenacity pet, his health will drop fairly quickly in this fight. When you do pull aggro, use whatever defensive CD's you have, and always fire Chimera Shot whenever it is up for the 5% health. I personally prefer taking down the summoner ogre after the priest. The shaman sheeping me or my pet has never been an issue while solo'ing this fight because I never get aggro from him.

Try to keep at max range, continue to use MD, and eventually you will down the whole group.

Commentaire de 776096

2-manned High King, Gruul, and Magtheridon last night with a pvp-specced Assassination rogue and me, a frost/fire mage.

For High King we focused down the priest 1st. Deep freeze is your friend for this fight. I popped Time Warp off the pull and we burned the priest without him getting a heal off, then we burned the shammy down no problem. The rogue was getting low on hp so I popped my images, which somehow stole threat from him and he was able to bandage. We killed the warlock then the mage (spell stole his shield like the old days....ahhh, mage tanking Krosh), then I kited High King around the room as best I could using Blink + Ice Barrier to absorb as much damage as possible. He killed me finally when he had about 50k life left, and the rogue just popped Evasion again and burned him down.

We both used PvP trinkets to break any sheep/fears sent our way, but after the 1st three guys are dead its a cake walk. Gruul and Mag were easy as well.

Frost really shines for soloing old world content. Deep Freeze just eats into bosses' hp when it crits for 90k+.

Commentaire de taohu

Soloed as a Frost mage with the standard pve spec, but the 2 floater points go to maxing permafrost for water elemental healing.

The adds don't hit extremely hard against cata hp pool, but the annoying aspects of the fight are the fears thrown at you if you do not have mirror image up, therefore, making the fight a dps race to kill important adds before it runs out.

I had my water elemental stood at the right wall of the room near Krosh and using it to pull and tank HKM. keeping him in the corner and the WW damage only to my water ele.

Around 3s into the pull, Olm will cast death coil on you on a short cd until you have mirror images up and isn't tanking him. Kill order is Blindeye (priest) > Olm (Lock) > Kigger (Shaman) > Krosh (mage) > HKM.

All of the adds except the priest are immune to stuns, allowing DF to deal full damage. Watch out for the heal casted by the priest and CS it (it heals for a lot) and nuke him down as fast as possible, he never lived to cast the uninteruptable shield for me. As long as Blindeye and Olm dies within the duration of mirror image, the fight is pretty much won. Just remember to spellsteal spell shield from krosh and don't pull HKM off water ele past 50% until he has casted his fear. Save a DF to finish HKM quickly after you pulled aggro off water ele. The rest of the damage is tankable by Ice barrier+ mana shield.

Commentaire de Manae

I'll confirm Maulgar can be soloed by a MM hunter. I was running at 353 equipped iLevel and a ferocity pet. To offer up some more advice on how to get it done:

Be prepared for a lot of frustration. The fight hinges upon killing Blindeye first, but doing so will likely take many attempts, and success will be decided by a little luck as well. Don't expect to one-shot it. Don't expect to even ten-shot it.
Remember that pet death is cheap now once you're out of combat with proper talents and glyphs. If the run isn't going your way, be quick to disengage to the back of the room, FD, and let your pet die so the fight resets. Even use Readiness if you have to. Getting your pet back up, healing him, and waiting on cooldowns is a lot less frustrating than running back to the instance over and over, especially considering your spirit can't fly in Blade's Edge.
I found a good opening to be to send your pet at Blindeye with Misdirect on, Multi-shot Olm the Summoner, then Multi-shot Blindeye. Hit Blindeye with Widow Venom, and then Misdirect another Multi-shot or two after the first fel hound is summoned and on you. This tends to give pretty good initial aggro on your pet and let you really hammer on Blindeye. Don't be afraid to hit MD again even while single-targeting Blindeye, though.
You want a fel hound on you. They do very little damage, but break the sheep. Kiggler's lightning bolts do not break it, so a hound makes a good anti-CC. They have very little health (20k) so once Kiggler is dead they die in only two or three shots.
Keep mend pet up. A ferocity pet is probably going to die no matter what, but it shouldn't be until at least two ogres are down. Heart of the Phoenix is your friend at that point, just make sure he won't get one-shot before the server remembers to top his health off.
Do not get too anxious with Silencing Shot. If you use it while Blindeye is above 50%, you will not kill him unless you get a very long string of lucky crits. Just let Widow Venom do it's job until he hits about 40%, and then silence him and hope to finish him off before he can get anything else off. If he even starts to cast Prayer of Healing, you probably already failed.
Use a PvP trinket. Long strings of CC are going to happen, and almost always mean it's time to reset the fight. Save it for when Blindeye is sub-40% and you can get a good burn on him (IE, sub-40% but zero focus is not a good time to use it).
After Blindeye, I went for Kiggler. The sheep is a lot more dangerous than the horror; going three seconds without Mend Pet isn't as bad as 10+. Either way, if you kill Blindeye the fight is almost in the bag.
For what it's worth, the mage's shield can be removed with Tranq, and fel hounds can be freezing trapped

Again, once you manage to drop Blindeye, you're probably going to down Maulgar. Enjoy your loot, and push on to the far, far easier Gruul.

If you are a melee class doing this solo, the shaman's disarms can be ranged. Be at max range from him and you will get disarmed a lot less (though you'll be death coiled back to him sometimes).

Soloed in different way ... after few unsuccessful attemps while nuking priest as first and based on skada(damage taken) decided to nuke mage as a first target. Full nuke along with interupt macro and insignia resulted in mage's death and fight became extremely faceroll since the dmg i was taking was easily outhealable with just pure DS , no cooldowns needed.

Tried to solo with i353 Feral. Not pretty. Since Blizzard saw fit to take Berserk and nerf it so that we are no longer immune to fear while it is up (thx pvp), I spent almost all of my time getting smacked around while feared every few seconds. Couldn't stay out of fears long enough to make much of a dent between all the CC to do much before everyone was healed back up again. Thinking maybe my prot pally would have better luck.

not possible to solo as a prot pally at 372 eilvl. Nuff said.

Edit: Attempted again now at 383 with no more luck than before. The problem isnt gear it is related to dmg output. Prot has more sustainability than ret or holy but just cannot do enough dmg before a heal or crowd controll abilty stops you in your tracks. Once that cc train takes off It's game over.

Commentaire de 534473

Soloed as a fury warrior (ilevel 381). Didn't bother killing any of the adds, even the priest, just nuked Maulgar down. Strangely his adds stay put even when he's dead and you can go on to the next boss without killing them. The priest will probably cast a heal or two before the boss dies, but it's faster to kill Maulgar straight off and you won't have enough self healing to try and nuke both down through all the CC. Be sure to throw in a few cleaves when you're high on rage because it will make the priest try to heal one of the adds instead of maulgar.

Commentaire de glomaldrig

@Bluewyvern

Oh yeah? So you nuked him down through all the death coils / disarms / heals / other annoying things the adds did?

Would you please enlighten me a bit more about how you did it exactly? Rallying cry + enraged regeneration isn't even close enough to keep me up due to the adds constant attack.

For the record, my ilvl is 370.

Commentaire de IMissThottbot

So, I can't solo this on my feral, either in full PvP or full tank. They CC far too much, and every time I've gotten the healer close to death, I'm already lowish on HP.

However, I can solo this on my BM hunter. It isn't easy. I bring a Spirit Beast, send it in onto the healer, hit Cower asap to avoid it being pummeled down (DON'T mend pet at first, or you'll draw aggro). Save Spirit Mend for yourself. MD everything with one Multishot, and then nuke the priest, hard. If you get lucky and down him, you have a good shot of beating the rest. It took me seven deaths the SECOND time I did this--point being, there's a lot of RNG involved regarding the mobs' cc.

Commentaire de wowogamer

I've just soloed this with my feral druid. Bear talent-spec with dps-gear and a single Stamina trinket. Equipped itemlvl was 381 (2 pieces of PvP gear).

The main point is to kill the Warlock as fast as possible. Utilize every single cooldown and all available buffs for that. I used: Motw, 90 Agility food, Runescroll of Fortitude II (468 stamina), Elixir of the Master, Prismatic Elixir, and a Potion of the Tol'vir.

More specifically: I started in stealth => feral charged behind the warlock => opened with a ravage => then immediately used a Potion of the Tol'vir => popped Berserk => and got a 5 combo Rip up on the Warlock. After that I was feared half of the time, but my dps was able to outpace the healing from the priest. I myself got down to about 30k hp (still in Cat Form) before the warlock was dead, where after I changed to Bear Form and popped Frenzied Regeneration to heal halfway up again.

From this point on it was not as hard any longer. Next add I killed was the priest, then the mage, and finally the shaman. After that it was easy to finish off the boss himself.

First attempt with this strategy was close to a win as I had the warlock down to about 20 k before I got killed. But the second time around was a success. So even you probably also need a bit of luck with crits at the right times from you attacks etc, I would still say that with gear levels about 380 and upwards it should be quite doable for ferals. Maybe not in first attempt, but neither should it take forever :)

Commentaire de poisonousfrog

Solo'd as an Arcane Mage with ilevel 382 gear. After coming so very close the traditional way I decided for my last attempt to just attack the King. Popped everything (Mage Copy, trinkets, Time Warp, etc) and was able to easily kill him. The adds stayed up but I went invisible and out of combat. The four adds simply reset to their normal positions and the king laid there dead. Gate was gone and looted him. Hope this helps anyone frustrated trying to attempt to solo this in the old style.

Commentaire de arcadiaware

Solo'd today as a Feral Druid.

Keep a Medallion or Insignia of the Horde on you. It helps.

Buffs:
Runescroll of Fortitude
Prismatic Elixir
Skewered Eel
Elixir of the Cobra

Method
Before the fight I set Blindeye to my Focus and then targeted Olm

I popped a Potion of the Tol'vir, Tiger's Fury, Berserk, and Kiroptyric Sigil (for added assistance). Feral Charged Olm, and then used Ravage, Mangle and Rake. Every time I've tried this I get 5 CP but your mileage may vary. You'll have just enough time to put Rip on him before he CCs you. When he does pop your Medallion/Insignia, put another 5 CP on him and then Ferocious Bite. Blindeye can't keep up with the damage, and he'll go down quickly.

Go after Blindeye now in Bear Form. You'll probably have to use Barkskin or Survival Instincts. He's not immune to Bash so stop his first heal with it and start pounding on him, your health should be low about now so pop Enrage and Frenzied Regeneration, Skull bash his heals when you can and he'll go down quickly. Focus on Maulgar and you should be able to take him out no problem.

Just did this as Demon Lock with an ilvl of 385. Pop all CDs (Meta, DS, Doomguard) and nuked down Maulgar then ran out of the instance. Got poly'd that had me scared for a second but my dots just ate his health. Try this strategy if you are semi decent in nuking.

Marksmanship (7/31/3) Hunter.
Ballinhunts, of Kargath-US.
409 iLvl

Using a turtle as the "Go-To" tenacity pet, I find it easy to solo (duo really) all of the old content as an appropriately-spec'ed Marksmanship Hunter.

I advise the use of Glyph of Mending and Glyph of Misdirection as two critical Major Glyphs, the other choices are yours to make.

As has been previously mentioned, High King Maulgar is indeed a challenge compared to Gruul the Dragonkiller.

I attempted the Nuke strategy and got High King Maulgar to 9% before I was polymorphed (the use of the PvP trinket would've combated this) and he was healed entirely. I called an audible, and went for the Process of Elimination strategy.

Send in your (tenacity) pet, and Misdirect the council with Multi-Shot - as many as you can get in - because your pet will more than likely be subjected to threat-wiping abilities. Focus Blindeye the Seer (heals) first, Kiggler the Crazed (polymorph) second, Olm the Summoner (fear) third, Krosh Firehand (shenanigans) fourth, then you and your pet can finally be punted to victory by High King Maulgar himself.

Use Feign Death often and Disengage (to combat the falling damage) multitudes!

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me in-game!

Downed the High King and his Council today as a prot pally with a mish-mash of prot gear, pve dps gear, and the odd pvp piece. Item level was 384. I had initially tried (and failed) several attempts as ret but between the CC, disarms, and incoming damage, I just didn't have enough to burn down any of them. If I was lucky enough to get one down, I died very quickly thereafter.

I switched to prot and after another couple failed attempts, I was able to burn down Blindeye while taking a lot of punishment and surviving through the various CCs. From there, I killed Kiggler (annoying polymorph), then Olm, Krosh, and finally Maulgar.

I basically used all my defensive cooldowns at the start, put up wings, and broke out of the first poly with my pvp trinket. I used a stun and interrupted when possible on Blindeye. He actually went down fairly quickly. I used Lay on Hands either after the first or second add just as a precaution to top myself up as my health was around 40% or so even after one or two Words of Glory. I had seal of insight up, blessing of might, resistance aura, and drums of the forgotten kings. No flasks, pots, or even food was used.

Maybe I just got lucky this time but it is possible to down this encounter solo as a prot paladin. I look forward to trying again next week in hopes the hammer drops for me.

I dont know what to tell you about your tanks. However I, who have MT'd high king, always flask for it and I have 19.9khp fully buffed. If your MT'd arent spending the cash for the pots then that might be one thing to look at. Otherwise I would just check thier block/dodge/parry. The high king fight sometimes just one shots tanks. If he lands a blow immediately followed by an arcing smash it will one shot just about any tank. Thats just part of it. Normally I only have 3 healers on me as MT. So if you guys are putting 9 on tanks? Might be a healer issue. Our 2 main shamans have +1800 and +1700 healing. Hope some of this helps.

How does Maulgar hit so hard? Look at how fat he is.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Fated did this a few days ago to check it out. We downed the Ogre king after about 15 attempts. Seems as though where you pull to and tank everyone is the key. We downed Priest, then Lock, then Shaman and then the Mage in that order then pounded Maulgar hard. Keep the melee classes away from the mage. As a Warlock I will tell you, you need at least 2 locks enslaving the Locks summoned pets and use them to tank the Lock till the Priest is dead. During the Maulgar fight in phase II he ran around hitting random ppl. I got to feel that pain, I saw him running at me so I hit Soulshatter and he turned back to the tank but then decided to turn back and finish me off with 1 hit (11000+hp Buffed warlock).

Commentaire de Thottbot

the high king now drops two t4 shoulder tokens with 2.1 instead of just 1. TY bliz

Commentaire de Thottbot

For the shaman its nice to have 2 hunters with about 160+NR gear(unbuffed) on fighting for aggro. i have about 260 unbuffed and the shaman is a breeze...the raid can put a weaker healer with the hunters to make every other job easier.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I suggest investing in a stack of those Flasks from the Fel Mana Forge things where you can buy Unstable flasks of the beast for 10 Apexis shards (and of course the caster equivalent)

This also works well in Gruul's lair.

With the daily quests and the other grinding you do, your gold should not be sufficiently gimped IMO.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Killed him the other night, tried 3 times and wiped, then last try we took him down pretty fast and easily. (well, at least we killed all of the lvl ? adds with no fatalities, but then we got the king with only about 5 or 6 people alive. He droped both of the Shoulderpads, and the Hammer of Narru. He was really fun, just make sure you know when his wirlwind is coming up so you can get the @#$% out of dodge before he starts it. Other than that, as long as tank keeps agro (which is not that hard), you should be fine.

Commentaire de Thottbot

for the mage tanking krosh firehand(mage)do fire absorbant pots work on him?

Commentaire de Thottbot

i'm the tanking mage for this fight . I'm frost so i bassically sumon my water pet and let him pull , so it's quite easy for us since they get a few extra sec so everyone can pull the others into position . Fire pots are uselles in that fight , the tanking mage should have around 12k htp fully buffed the more the better and atleast 16% spell hit for the spell steal.I got 10% from the arcane talents + 8% from gear ,so 18% in total. I sometimes will get a full 9k hit because there is nothing to steal. Anyway 1 healer is enough have 1 as backup just in case something gets wrong , but usually if you do y're job right and steal the shield in time the fight is easy . Good luck and hf!

Commentaire de Thottbot

People who say you need decent gear and all to do this and have tanks with 20k HP are wrong. We had 4 tanks they had 15k,16k,17k, and 20k HP. The one with 17k was our MT. And we also had two lvl 70s who were decked in full greens, and blue quest rewards, one of them had JUST hit lvl 70 the night before. And this was only our 3rd time in gruuls, and for about 2 thirds of us(including me) it was our first time, We had only downed this guy once before, like 3 months ago, so it wasnt like were pros. We pulled the first time, adn killed none of the adds, and we got the high king to 98% 2nd time we killed him ;) 2 fallen champion tokens, and some plate warbands. I won one of the tokens, and now happily have the t4 shoulders, GL to all. And dont think it's really as hard as everyone says, because it was had, but not THAT hard.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Everything is about the pull in this fight, if it goes wrong the fight goes wrong.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Our guild learned it the hard way, after 5 wipes we killed him.

First your mage-tank must understand how to pull. Pull from no less than 35 yards, better 41 yard with pyroblast. You do not need to be in range of spellsteal, ogres will come closer to you. I mage-tanked this encounter, it took me two wipes to learn to pull correctly.

Proper redirect by hunters at the beginning is very important, enemy mobs can 1 hit almost everyone, who is not their designated tank. Remember, that redirect lasts for 30 seconds, hunters must only activate it after readycheck, just a moment before the beginning of pyroblast cast. Hunters must know, that pyroblast is 6 seconds cast. Sounds trivial, but we wiped for this reason once.

Kill ogre-priest really fast, otherwise you are in trouble.

Kill High King the last, he is the fat guy over here.

Position the ogres correctly, boss with nasty AoE must be tanked away from the raid.

When ogre-mage is low on health it looks like he stops casting his shield that can be spellstolen. For 15-20 seconds your mage takes insane damage and needs more healing.

DPS must understand their job, melee DPS should not even think about trying to DPS ogre mage, range DPS should switch targets as soon as raid leader announces it. Sounds trivial, but it killed us once, when rogues attacked Krosh.

You may need to rotate healers, different tanks take spike damage during the fight. Sounds trivial, but it killed us once.

Do not be greedy, use flasks, use mana potions early, repairing entire raid is more expensive.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Hopped into a PUG for this the other night. Seemed like a pretty capable group. Tanks were sheeped and lost aggro right off the bat. Collapsed like a house of cards after that. Listen to the advice, Green gear 70's or pvp marshalls need not apply. I tip my hat to the guilds that have cleared this room. If Gruul is harder I shutter at the thought.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Naw, this fight is uberly easy.

Have maulgar tanked in a corner somewhere, with his 3 or so healers on that tank.

Kiggler can be tanked by hunters, just stay at max range and don't get near Maulgar or Krosh (You need two hunters for this).

You can put any spare tanks on olm, but he death coils them quickly. Warlocks need to enslave/banish felhounds asap and send them to attack Olm.

Krosh is mage tanked, get a mage with around 11-13k HP. Doesn't matter if they're wearing greens, they just need to have a stam set.

Mage should start the pull, then have hunters MD other targets to their appropriate tanks.

The healer is easy, just interrupt his heals and burn through his shield when he pops it then interrupt that heal. He can be stunlocked, etc. We had a shaman tank him once, no problems. He doesn't hit very hard.

After the healer goes down, DPS should switch to Olm and take him down.

Then all ranged goes to krosh, and all melee to kiggler. After kiggler is down, all melee goes to Maulgar even if Krosh is still up. After Krosh is down, all ranged go to Maulgar.

From here, it's uberly easy. At 50% or so Maulgar drops his weapon and doesn't hit as hard. But he'll randomly charge and fear. When he does this, an off tank needs to taunt him (He becomes tauntable after 50%) and bring him back to the main tank so he can get control back. Still whirlwinds, I think. But overall, the fight is easy. It's all about positioning and the pull. If the pull goes horribly wrong (Like you get Krosh in the middle of the room) it's very possible that it's going to be a wipe.

Commentaire de Thottbot

since the latest patch, does this guy & gruul drop badges of justice? & if so how many?

Commentaire de Thottbot

The initial pull can't be emphasized enough. Once you did that one right, keep the tanks up and make sure only to let the Mage Tank spellsteal Firehand's shield! It happened a couple of times in our raid that some other idiot stole his shield and the mage tank died.

I was MTing Maulgar and just as a hint for you fellow Pallys trying to tank him: You will have a bit more trouble tanking than Warriors or druids due to their demoralizing shout they can put on him.

His mighty blow needs to be announced so the healers can top you off before.

My Paladin is uncrit/uncrush with 106% avoidence (of which 21 Dodge / 19 Parry) (with holy shield up) and I had 2 healers on me, 17.5k armor and 19k buffed life and still died my first couple of tries from normal hits followed by the mighty blow.
Similar to the Prince in Karazhan, once he drops his weapons at 50%, he is a sure win if you stay alert and keep taunting after the fear/charge. Make sure to announce whirlwind if you got a lot of melee dps in your group.

Once you got discipline in your raid and everybody knows what to do, this fight can be quite easy.

Commentaire de Thottbot

in the next patch ALL 25 man bosses will drop 2 badges ...

Does this guy sleep on his back?

Commentaire de Thottbot

lol he looks high

Commentaire de Allakhazam

The easiest way to do Kiggler is have a Moonkin druid tank him. Moonkins are immune to polymorph effects so there isn't a whole bunch of switching back and forth between 2 hunter tanks. The most difficult part is picking him back up after the knockback. Even then a nicely timed Moonfire/Starfire/Wrath combo does the trick. They can also range tank him with spells. Kiggler's spell damage doesn't hurt that much so the Moonkin doesn't take much damage. It's how my guild has always done it and we pretty much one shot High King every week.

dropped Malefic Mask of Shadows today for us

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Some pulling practice,. then a pulling practice that lead to "him" downed, dropped two shoulder tokens and Bladespire Warbands,

Total attemps 6 including the kill attempt.

You play warlock, stay away from the mage tanking target cause he AoE you down in notime,. so run around him and pull the warlock far back for felhunter tanking, and spam the threat ability on the petbar.

This is how we did it:
Mage tanking the mage, stamina and +fr gear.
Warlock tanking warlock with enslaved deamon tanking the add.
Nuke the priest quick and dont let him heal and keep him out of distance of the others.
OT the shaman, and MT Maulgar.

Kill order, Priest, warlock, mage, shaman, maulgar.
You will not need imba gear on all players (although trying this with a "rare" tank is stupid but just follow the tactics and make a correct pull, Disorigented (not sure if thats what they are called) pulls from the hunters to the tanks. And keep everyone alive.

FIRST

Commentaire de Allakhazam

took him down today 1st try, had a quick go at gruul which needs a bit of work

Commentaire de Allakhazam

This is such a fun encounter being me (fury warrior) gets to @#$%^-slap this guy in quest blues and HHM helm and DPS ring. took 5 times, but payed off, for the mage,hunter,locks. yup, Belt of Divine Inspiration dropped, also 2 Pauldrons of the fallon hero.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

The great thing about the Maulgar fight is that many different classes get to tank. Notably, a mage can tank the mage ogre by Spellstealing his Fire Ward, but we also have hunters and enslaved pets tanking. It's not an impossible fight, but it is a varied one.

Full details of how to fight Maulgar and his adds at High King Maulgar Strategy Guide

Commentaire de Allakhazam

#$%^&smacked by <Rocksteady>, a swedish guild on Jaedenar on our first raid there and second attempt with pots.

Dropped
Malefic Mask of the Shadows
Pauldrons of the Fallen Hero (Warlock, Mage Hunter Tier 4)

and yea, the adds before and after Maulgar & Co are pretty tough, with aggro reset and Mortal Strike but they don't one-shot full prot warriors ^^

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Not a particularly hard fight, more of a test for your 25-man raid to see if you have the coordination to do these kinds of bosses.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

you guys that killed him on 1st try...what whats your gear? :P

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Of course i want to add that my guild did it first time too - in fact we didn't really need to. We entered the instance and he ran away From us dropping all his loot and more....

For mroe such stories of incredulous lies - read this thread!

Commentaire de Allakhazam

thats a lot of damage..

Commentaire de Allakhazam

We killed this guy today with my guild on the first raid to enter the lair.
Alone the 3 trashmobs in front of him were insanely hard. 3-shotting full prot warriors with 13k hp and 12k armor and other fun.

cba to write a full strategy now, might add it later.
wowwiki.com basically sums it up, although they're missing a few important details.

He seems to drop 1x Tier4 Shoulder Tokens + 1x random item.
