Strike!

To all those in WoD:

Forget ALL you just read above about the achieve being glitched,it's not.

You have to get 18 warbringers below 50% hp manually by soft aoe then finish them with a SINGLE iron star

I did this on HC difficulty and it was very easy to do this, basically what you should do is:

1. Track the achievement (if it turns white you can kill garrosh).
2. Stand near one of the iron stars and kill the engineer that spawns near it.
3. Garrosh will spawn 6 adds plus a farseer so kill the farseer and just wait as you keep killing the engineer.
4. After you have a huge amount (more than 18) of adds, stop killing the engineer and keep walking into the iron star to kill the adds with it.
5. Make sure your achievement turns white and kill garrosh.
6. Congratz with your achievement!

*STILL WORKS IN PATCH 9.2*

As of 1/11/2018, this achievement is working fine, though if the other comments suggest anything, there is a distinct possibility of it breaking at some point in the future. I solo'd this as a 916 Marksmanship Hunter with the talents [spell=155228], [spell=194595], [spell=109215], [spell=234588], [spell=109248], [spell=120360], and [spell=198670], and [item=144303] and [item=132466] for my legendaries

Note: This guide was written specifically for Marksmanship Hunters on Heroic difficulty, though the same strategies apply to any spec, just fill in the abilities to the "equivalent" of your spec. Specs without a "tap" AoE (an AoE that only hits once for a small burst of damage) may find it a little challenging.

0. (Optional, though highly recommended as it will simplify this a LOT.) Creating Your Macros:

Create a macro to target the Farseer Wolf Riders. /target Farseer Wolf Rider for those unwilling to type it. You want to burn these down as soon as they spawn, as [spell=144821] will be your friend for doing this, but will make it hard to kill them as it stacks up to 5 times. (750% damage and health increase). You can also use a macro for targetting the desecrated weapons, though they aren't a huge issue. I also suggest using a macro that will tell you how many enemies are available via checking their nameplates. (Remember: Subtract one for Garrosh, and every desecrated weapon, which is where defeating them comes in handy. Depending on how close you are, you may also pick up the Siege Engineer.) /run local count = 0 for i = 0, 10000, 1 do if _G["NamePlate"..i] ~= nil and _G["NamePlate"..i]:IsVisible() then count = count + 1 end end print(count)

1. Beginning Your Attempt:

Attack Garrosh to begin the fight. (duh)

2. Location, Location, Location:

Pull him to where either of the Iron Stars will spawn in. Personally, I chose the right side. The Kor'kron Warbringers will run to the center of the room, then automatically follow you. You may need to stand bit away from the spawn location, because if you are too close, the Iron Star might not hit the Kor'kron Warbringers, and you won't be able to get the achievement.

3. Keeping Up With The Kor'kron:

- (Optional) Run the name plate checker macro to check how many Kor'kron are available.
- This is where things get tricky. You need to keep track of all of the Warbringers available, their buff stack, and kill the Wolf Riders. Targetting a Wolf rider obviously makes it more difficult to watch the buff, as you will want it to reach it's max stack of 5, to prevent yourself from instantly killing them, and making sure their health percentage is semi-equal.
-Make sure you kill the Siege engineer as he spawns, as to avoid accidentally killing the Warbringers. Remember to stay in the corner, as going to the other half of the room will hit the with the other Iron Star, and be a pointless trip.
- After you have at least 18 Warbringers (I suggest going a little over, just for security), and they are all at 5 stacks of [spell=144821], gently use [spell=2643] to burn them down to under 50% of their maximum health. (I couldn't really figure out a good reason as to why, though I suspect it may have something to do with the game needing to flag them as "in combat with you").

4. Here's the Frying Pan, So Let's Kill It:

-At this point, I was getting a little low on health, with 36 warbringers at 5 stacks, Garrosh, and desecrated weapons all dealing a good chunk of damage to me. If you aren't using [item=132466], you will be hard pressed to keep your health up without using Exhilaration or Aspect of the Turtle, depending on how far along your artifact is progressed.
-Once all of the Warbringers are down under 50% health, let the siege engineers live and release the Iron Star. The first on might not kill it, and if it doesn't that's fine. Just keep killing the wolf riders, and use the other Iron Star if available.
-Be warned. After about 10 minutes of Stage 1, the siege engineers will stop spawning. From here, you will need to use Feign Death, or actually die to reset the fight. This happened to me, so don't feel discouraged if you don't get it on your first try.

5. Cheevy Chase:

After you kill the Warbringer with the Iron Star, bring down Garrosh. Finish Phase 1 as normal, and use all of your cooldowns for Phase 2. If you think you can kill him without going to the Realm of Y;shaarj, go ahead and use them at the beginning of this phase. If not, clear the Realm of Y'shaarj, and use them in there.. They should carry into Phase 3, and that's the fight.
