Raid - Warlords of Draenor
Highmaul
7 encounters, 98 boss abilities and 149 drops, with the Adventure Guide’s own ability and strategy notes for each fight. Every drop links to its item page; tradeable drops carry an Auction House price.
Highmaul is the seat of power for the Gorian Empire, the ogre civilization that ruled Draenor for generations, until the arrival of the draenei. A massive city that belies the ogre reputation for brutish stupidity, Highmaul is full of bustling markets, wealthy nobles, and the roar of the Coliseum crowd echoing through the streets of the slums. Visible from everywhere within the city's walls, Imperator Mar'gok's citadel casts a long shadow, a reminder of his watchful eye and iron grip.

The Butcher
Born in the fetid Underbelly of Highmaul, this ogre may have once had a proper name, but it is long forgotten. Abused and beaten from his earliest days, the hardship only strengthened his body even as it broke his mind. Now there is not an ogre in Highmaul who will not give him a wide berth as he hacks away at slaughtered carcasses to pass his days.
Abilities & Strategy
Overview
The Butcher attacks relentlessly, hacking at his foes with his dual implements of destruction. His main abilities seek to target large clumps of enemies, and positioning is key to handling and overcoming his attacks.
Damage Dealers
- Players in melee range must form clumps of varying sizes throughout the fight to manage the Butcher's Cleave and allow Gushing Wounds to fade.
- Players at range must clump in order to survive the Butcher's Bounding Cleave sequence.
Healers
- Groups that are struck by Cleave suffer periodic damage from Gushing Wounds, which can stack.
- All players in the raid suffer Physical damage when the Butcher begins his Bounding Cleave sequence.
Tanks
- Heavy Handed causes the Butcher to attack the player closest to his current target with a copy of all of his melee attacks. These attacks can be mitigated and avoided as usual. If another player is not close enough, the second attack will trigger on the primary target.
- The Tenderizer will always hit. It cannot be dodged or parried, but it can be blocked.
- The Cleaver will only apply its damage over time effect if the attack successfully lands on its target.
Heavy Handed
All of the Butcher's standard auto attacks trigger a second attack on the next closest target within 5 yards. If no target is found, the primary target is struck again.

Kargath Bladefist, Warlord of the Shattered Hand, honed his brutal skills as a slave in the ogres' gladiatorial games. He slaughtered countless opponents for the promise of freedom, but after winning, was locked away with the other retired "champions." Fueled by rage, Kargath tore off his own hand to escape and led a revolt that soaked Draenor in ogre blood. Now, he returns to the arena to teach you the true meaning of savagery.
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.

Spell detailsIn 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

Illusion: Mark of the Shattered HandTwin Ogron
Guarding the entrance to the Gorthenon atop Highmaul, Pol and Phemos are the personal guard of Imperator Mar'gok. Peerless in strength and determination, what these ogron brothers lack in intelligence, they make up for with sheer size and brute force.
Abilities & Strategy
Overview
The Twin Ogron combat players while performing attacks at specific energy thresholds. At 33 energy, an Ogron uses his special weapon attack. At 66 energy, an Ogron performs a large shout. Finally, at 100 energy, an Ogron performs a large, raid-wide attack. As the distance between the Ogron increases, their haste increases and casting time additionally decreases, reducing the amount of time players have to react to various abilities.
Damage Dealers
- Stand near Phemos for Enfeebling Roar, as he splits damage, effectiveness, and duration amongst nearby targets.
- Be wary of the radius of Whirlwind and the path of Shield Charge.
Healers
- Be ready to heal on the move when Quake and Blaze begins.
- Watch for Interrupting Shout, as it will interrupt and lock you out of spellcasting for a short duration.
Tanks
- Whirlwind has a large radius, and can be deadly when combined with Shield Bash.
- Controlling the distance between the Twin Ogron is essential to managing the potency of their abilities.

Twin-Gaze SpauldersKo'ragh
Ko'ragh was the only ogre to survive direct exposure to a mysterious relic unearthed by the Highmaul excavations of Nagrand, and was left with a near-complete immunity to all magic. Rumors abound regarding his connection to the Imperator, with some wondering why Ko'ragh would remain subservient to a sorcerer despite his unique gifts.
Abilities & Strategy
Overview
Ko'ragh is protected by a Nullification Barrier that absorbs all magic damage taken. When the barrier is removed, he activates a rune that recharges it. While recharging, one player may also absorb some of the rune's energy and receive a Nullification Barrier. As the fight progresses, an increasing amount of Overflowing Energy orbs spill from the rune and float to the ground, exploding when they land. Players who have a Nullification Barrier can catch and absorb Overflowing Energy to mitigate the amount of raid wide damage and prevent a lethal amount of damage from occurring. In Mythic difficulty, two players may enter the rune per phase of Charging.
Damage Dealers
- Absorb Caustic Energy to gain a Nullification Barrier.
- Avoid Overflowing Energy until you have a Nullification Barrier. Absorb Overflowing Energy when you do have a Nullification Barrier.
Healers
- Focus intense healing on players absorbing Caustic Energy to allow them to survive the transformation.
- Expel Magic: Fire inflicts heavy raid wide damage and requires dispels to mitigate some of the damage.
- Expel Magic: Shadow absorbs all healing on the raid until it is removed.
Tanks
- Tanks marked with Expel Magic: Arcane must run away from their allies and avoid the periodic explosions.
- Volatile Anomalies will spawn periodically during the charging phase. If they are killed within a Suppression Field, they will not cast Destabilize.
Nullification Barrier
Spell detailsBreaker's Strength
Spell detailsCharging
When the Ko'ragh's Nullification Barrier is removed, he begins to recharge. After 20 sec, the barrier is restored.
Caustic Energy
One player may enter the rune with Ko'ragh, absorbing a portion of its energy. This effect pierces all immunities and damage reductions. When the rune powers down, the player receives their own Nullification Barrier, proportional to the amount of time spent inside the rune. The Nullification Barrier received by players can absorb up to Magic damage. In Mythic difficulty, two players may enter the rune per phase of Charging. In Raid Finder difficulty, five players may enter the rune per phase of Charging.

An ancient embodiment of the chaotic forces that shaped the terrain of Draenor, Tectus has been twisted and enslaved by the maddened Pale Orcs - who themselves barely maintain control over this imposing force of nature.
Abilities & Strategy
Overview
Tectus cannot be killed by traditional means. He builds energy, channeling Tectonic Upheaval whenever he reaches 100. Depleting Tectus's health before the end of Upheaval shatters it into two Shards of Tectus; otherwise, Tectus heals and resumes gaining energy. Each Shard splits into four Motes of Tectus when shattered. Players must kill all eight Motes to defeat Tectus.

The Iron Horde juggernaut moored in the waters beside Highmaul drew the attention of Brackenspore, ancient walker of the deep. The aquatic giant spreads fungal growth and moss in his wake, and is driven by primal instinct to eradicate any traces of civilization on Draenor.
Abilities & Strategy

Tide-Caller's GorgetImperator Mar'gok
As the grand Imperator of Highmaul, Mar'gok is descended from a long line of sorcerers who have ruled the Gorian Empire. Equal parts cunning and brutality, Mar'gok recognized the rising tide of the Iron Horde and what it would mean to oppose them. He has acquiesced to an alliance with Grommash, even as he continues to search for a way to tip the balance of power back into his favor.
Abilities & Strategy
Overview
Imperator Mar'gok assaults players with destructive Arcane magic and summons Arcane Aberrations to fight for him. When Imperator Mar'gok reaches 85%, 55% and 25% health remaining, he activates one of the runestones in his throne room, augmenting his abilities with additional effects. The runestones activated at 55% and 25% must be awakened from their dormant state. As they charge, guards arrive to defend the Imperator as Volatile Anomalies pour from the stone. In Mythic difficulty, Imperator Mar'gok maintains the effects of 2 runestones at once and begins to awake a new runestone at 66% and 33% health remaining.
