The third fight in the new Rank 9 tier of the Brawler's Guild, and one of the easiest for that tier.

The boss himself has about 13 million life, requiring about 109k sustained DPS to meet enrage.

As far as what he does, he does five main abilities:

Left Hook
Right Hook
Bodyblow
Uppercut
Hammer Fist

All these abilities will not one-shot you; they will hit you for around 100k damage if you're struck.

The first four are a cone effect in front of the boss. The last one, Hammer Fist, is a full 360 degrees within a 20 yard radius around the boss. All the abilities are clearly marked on the ground of the area they will affect with brownish dust, so it's easy to tell if you're in the zone of being hit. The best strategy I came up with as a 520 Hunter is to hug the boss and either run through him when he casts or side-step the Left Hook, Right Hook, Bodyblow, or Uppercut, and then Disengage out of Hammer Fist.

When I Disengaged out of Hammer Fist, I immediately ran back to the boss and hugged him, and repeated the process. Your mileage may vary depending on what class you are (I.E., Mages can Blink away).

That's really all there is to it. Good luck!

This fight is a joke compared to the rest. Did this as a 514 Frost DK with some time to spare.

Boss will do different kinds of punches, easily avoided by watching the ground. The only one to look out for is his Hammer Fist which will cover a large area and you have to move quite far (warrior can heroic leap out and charge back). Just nuke with all your might and the enrage will decide if you are good enough! Good luck! :)

In the Alliance arena be particularly careful with Hammer Fist because the graphic can extend above you onto the floor higher up and still hit you if you are standing underneath it even though there is no visible graphic on the floor of the arena itself.

Just nuke with all your might and the enrage will decide if you are good enough! Good luck! :)

Just learned that the boss can be stunned as he uses Hammer Fist which should save a lot of time instead of having to run in and out and allow more dps making the fight even easier.

The trick to this guy in particular seems to be getting the rhythm down. His abilities aren't random. He works a lot like Will of the Emperor, where he'll mark a location and you have to dodge it. He'll do a narrow cone in front of him twice, then he'll do a small semi-circle, then he'll do another cone, then finally he'll do a gigantic circle around him (though it's a slower cast, so you have more time than the others). Then the cycle repeats. Get used to this and it gets easy to predict when you need to run far. Be aware he generally won't start his cast until he's in melee range though, so if you try to run really far when he's about to do the big circle, be aware he'll generally chase you down first before doing it; make sure you leave yourself room on the side you're on to get out of it (i.e. don't be too close to a wall).

Managed to do this as an ilvl 511 arms warr, just as enrage timer hit.
Trick is to stun hammerfist with charge, I had warbringer on but not sure if that's what did it.
Intimidating shout will also interrupt hammerfist and cause him to start his ability rotation again, buying valuable time.
Dragon roar will not stun hammerfist however.
Good luck!

Managed to get this pretty easily on my 502 enhance shaman once I let myself not worry about maximizing time on boss and focused on getting out of Hammerfist which one shot me a few times.

Comment by dlbert2000

I couldnt believe this was a rank 9 fight. If he didnt have so much health he could easily be a lower ranked fight

Comment by GoRozZo

The easiest Rank 9 boss, i would say. The same mechanic has boss Blind Hero, you need just run around and avoid circle aoe spell (pretty big radius).

can stun during hammer fist to stop his 100% damage buff and reset his combo (left hook, right hook, uppercut, bodyblow)

Comment by Neid

Had a little frustration with this boss. As an unholy death knight, he was trashing my pet. If you are in the same boat, be sure to cast Huddle to save DPS.

Comment by Dramfiolz

This guy is very similar to Blind Hero, but a bit easier in terms of mechanics. His attacks come slower and do less damage, he just has more HP. I'm not sure why they made two fights that are almost identical, but whichever one you face second should be quite easy for you. Just do whatever you did on the other one.

Comment by Baneleaf

This guy was retarded easy as affliction with COE. I had been affliction for the previous fight just messing around and left the spec on just to see.

Almost like it's not even fair for those who aren't hunters. :P

Comment by Souwx

The best melle tactic is to simply rotate around him always. Since you are moving, you are completely unlikely to get hit by the normal 4 cones. When he does Hammer Fist, either stun him or move away and continue.

Comment by madmurdock

DPS requirement is about 15k DPS. So dont waste your and the other players' time trying to solve this with significantly less.. The enrange timer will just kill you otherwise despite handling the encounter perfectly.

I'll get you next time, Gadget!

Next time...!

Comment by Zaron31116

I would like to mention, as a rogue Feint is so amazing if you aren't good at running very fast or want a little extra damage during his 360 attack.

Comment by Tytios

For those that want to kill every boss before they gone in the legion pre-patch and, like me, want to know if is needed to folow any tacticts to kill this boss: as elemental shaman 738 just nuke :)

Used Primal Fire Elemental with glyph so it is up every fight, Brawler's Draenic Intellect Potion, Ring, Ascendence, Elemental Mastery and Spiritwalker's Grace (in case you really need to move)

Hope this could save time to someone!
