Kargath Bladefist

Enter the arena. We slew ninety-nine combatants in the ring when we first encountered him, now we owe Kargath Bladefist one more. This time we will not fight a mob of gladiators, but rather the undisputed champion of the ring himself. We will face him in the ring at the entrance of Highmaul, amongst the unruly spectators and death traps of the coliseum. In order to gain entrance to the ancient ogre capitol, or even survive, we must defeat him here and now.


Here follows Trivial's strategy guide to Kargath Bladefist. If you would like to know more about this encounter and its mechanics visit icy-veins.com.

 

Setup
Kargath will be waiting for us in the ring opposite the entrance. Before the pull, we will determine a group of one healer and three dps to accompany a tank into the stands. On the pull, the tanks will position him in the center of the room leaving plenty of room for melee behind him and ranged to spread out around him outside of the center circle.

 

 

 

General

  • Keep away from the tiger pits containing Ravenous Bloodmaws, they will eat you
  • Get out of the Flame Jet around active Fire Pillars (skulls that rise out of the ground)
  • Move out of Mauling Brew should it hit you or someone near you
  • Stay spread out because of Blade Dance (7yd effect)
  • Run away from Berserker Rush as the fixate target kites the boss into a Flame Jet
  • Stay away from the boss after the knockback for Chain Hurl unless you are supposed to go to the stands

Tanks
