Warlord of the Shattered Hand
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
I find it funny that Kargath (well, Blizzard really) is not sure what hand he is missing. His in-game model has him missing his left hand, but the loading screen has him missing his right hand.
He looks like Nathan Explosion from Metalocalypse.

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.
Kargath Bladefist
Impale
Blade Dance
Berserker Rush
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
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.
Iron Bomber
Iron Bombers appear in the stands and hurl Iron Bombs into the raid.
Iron Grunt
A seemingly endless throng of rowdy orcs. In Mythic difficulty, killing Iron Grunts grants favor for Roar of the Crowd.
Fire Pillar
A pillar of screaming skulls that belch a continuous stream of flames.
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.
