Abilities & Strategy

Overview

Kargath's Berserker Rush cannot be stopped until he either kills his target, or finds something else to take his anger out on. As the fight progresses, Iron Bombers and Drunken Bileslingers rain destruction from the arena stands. Players can dispatch these creatures after being tossed into the crowd by Kargath's Chain Hurl. In Mythic difficulty, the raid must perform well to gain favor that is tracked by Roar of the Crowd. If the raid gains enough favor from Roar of the Crowd, the raid is granted increased damage dealing.

Damage Dealers
  • Iron Bombers and Drunken Bileslingers will continue to harass the raid from the stands until they are killed.
Healers
  • Kargath inflicts massive damage to the tank with his Impale ability.
  • Iron Bombers inflict raidwide damage until they are killed.
Tanks
  • Kargath's Impale leaves Open Wounds on his target that increases the damage of consecutive Impales.

Roar of the Crowd

Favor gained by performing well is tracked by Roar of the Crowd. As the raid's favor increases, they gain Crowd Favorite buffs that increase the raid's damage done.

Berserker Rush
Spell details

In Mythic difficulty, the raid gains favor for Roar of the Crowd the longer Kargath stays in Berserker Rush. However, if Kargath's fixate target dies, the raid loses a big chunk of favor.

Chain Hurl
Spell details

In Looking for Raid difficulty, Kargath automatically tosses the tank with the highest amount of Open Wounds stacks, one random healer, and three random DPS into the crowd.

Monster's Brawl

Kargath uses Chain Hurl to toss raid members into the arena stands. Once in the stands, the raid members can attack the audience until either the Highmaul Sweeper knocks them out of the stands, or their corpse is thrown back into the arena.

Drunken Bileslinger

Drunken Bileslingers appear in the stands and throw Mauling Brew into the arena.

Ravenous Bloodmaw

Ravenous Bloodmaws prowl hungrily within their pits, waiting to maul anyone unfortunate enough to fall in. In Mythic Difficulty, the Ravenous Bloodmaws are released from their pits. Setting these beasts on fire will gain favor for Roar of the Crowd.
