The Thunderdrome is the new cage-match in Gadgetzan -well it's been there all the time but now it's finally implemented and used for the Thunderdrome quest series, where you and your party beat up bad-guys!
There are 5 quests and you do not need the "The Thunderdrome!" (because it's not a pre-quest, just breadcrumbs) to start the quest-chain!
I did this fight alone, my pet had 50% damage reduction and it's very standard for tanks as well, a damage class with plate can manage but would only need more heals -no problem if you have a proper healer in the group, tank can just go in tank stance (put on a shield if able) and it's enough.
- Thunderdrome: The Ginormus! (Ginormus) is easy, the boss hits a tank for 100 damage. At low health he spawns 2x Warhound that hit for ~20 each, as long the tank tanks all of the mobs the healer will not have a problem keeping him alive.
- Thunderdrome: Zumonga! (Zumonga) hits a little harder and will cast Taste of Blood (boss will steal 100hp and do 15% more dmg) on a random group-member. He will also Headbutt the tank and knock-back the group. Right after the Headbutt he will use Pulverize (deals about 110-190 damage and stuns for 1 second, it has 10 yard range and is avoidable) on the whole group.
- Thunderdrome: Sarinexx! (Sarinexx) hits around the same as Zumonga. He will use Wide Slash so only tank should be in front the boss at all times. This should come as no surprise to anyone done AQ20, he also uses Sand Trap anyone that has one under their feet must run away ASAP! Unlike AQ20 this does damage and reduces chance to hit by 25% instead of silencing spellcasting.
- A:Thunderdrome: Grudge Match!/H:Thunderdrome: Grudge Match! (Kelsey Steelspark/Megs Dreadshredder) is kind of chaotic compared the to last bosses. Both Alliance and Horde versions are pretty much the same, you fight the boss and at 50% she spawns her mechanical minion and turns invincible. You have to focus on the minion and destroy it, then kill her. The whole deal is killing the minion, it hits hard and deals damage if not avoided. You may notice it using some of these abilities: Flamethrower (85-115 fire damage), Sawblade (summons this npc) and a spell I couldn't find in the log but is basically a giant firewall, you just avoid it and you don't take damage. The Horde will notice other abilities but with lack of data from beta, I must update this segment when the game hits retail.
Thunderdrome: Prince Mosh! (Prince Mosh) so far the Grudge Match is bugget so I have to add fight information once it's fixed and the quest is acceptable.
They finally put that huge cage to use after all these years!

Description
Hey, friend, you interested in excitement? Adventure? Money? Violence? Well, you'd better like violence, because they just reopened the Thunderdrome in Gadgetzan. It was sad to see it unused for so long, what with the injury lawsuits, and the racketeering charges, and the copyright infringement... But it's back, and just waiting for burly, savage folk like you to enter and throw down with the foulest opponents ever! Head to Gadgetzan and talk to Dr. Dealwell to sign up. And tell your friends!
