Garrosh Hellscream Cutscene in Sanctum of Domination

Recommended Posts

Garrosh returns in Patch 9.1 and here's the cutscene that plays in the new Sanctum of Domination raid. This post contains spoilers.

The former Warchief of the Horde makes a brief appearance in Sanctum of Domination during the Soulrender Dormazain encounter, but instead of repenting for his sins, he would proudly repeat every choice he made, which eventually turns him into dust.

Check out our Sanctum of Domination raid guides to learn more about the encounters that await you in the new raid.

What a waste.

Garrosh was prominent in Revendreth marketing, but we didn't see him there at all for basically no reason. Now he 'shows up' in a single raid boss and literally turns to dust after. Guess I'm never seeing my favourite character ever again.

Absolute Chad. This is the greatest story moment in years and it gets such a poor quality cutscene, though, which is terribly sad.

The voice actor deserves a raise.

The actual movie though...I'm pretty sure that was the generic "talking" animation, and all they did was a 3 part zoom in on the character model as he was talking.    Then the animation for the jump...ughhh..

... That's a choice of story writing... He's too chaotic to even repent, so we'll have him a "warrior's death" even in the after life, then just dust him and move on. I would have preferred they never even brought him up. Just leave him lost like COUNTLESS other heroes and villains.

It's about as well done as Arthas has been, despite the soul splitting of a morne blade being constantly referenced as critical and him getting thrown into the maw never to be seen or even referenced again.

His voice actor should be fine, he's already voicing several characters in game. It's in game cinematic, so it's not going to looks as good, still they could have done something more with Garrosh. At least he remained true to himself, even if that meant being orc supremacist.

At least this one is mildly amusing and consistent with the character. It wasn't that he was terrible as a villain. He was a reasonably consistent horrible racist person who would have worked fine as a stock evil villain, if only they had admitted that was what he was and not ruined so much of the levelling experience by having Horde players being forced to serve as henchmen to him and Alliance players having quests about boring and useless characters and losing for the sake of a story the devs kept denying was about a villain.

But that's kind of ok right? I mean at some point we HAVE to let some characters die. It's bad enough half the roster are in some form of "we can get them back if we want" status, from Illidan to Arthas, probably Sylvanas as well. I never liked Garrosh post-BC (I really liked him there) and flat out hated him in MoP, but damn that was a fitting end if you ask me.

You see that's all 100% true, and yet it was still 10x, or 120398218931x the cutscene that that abomination we got at the end was. It's really not about production quality or involved story, it's just character moments. Garrosh was a prick and he remained that to the fucking end. That's writing I can respect. Not this god damned everyone isn't really evil, "no hear us out, we just made up something that actually happened 10 years ago, honest" absolutely horseshit. If Sylvnas just said "Whelp, that's ok with me cos I'm on top and most of existence will also serve me, I can handle serving the big guy NP" and remained her evil, self-serving self I could 100% respect that. Or even if she went for the "crap, now I gotta remove this giant dude after he remakes reality so I can be on top" would be fine. But no. A magic word was said and Batman broke free of his bad ways.

It's even sadder when you think that the reason this cinematic was lower quality/had less budget put into it is that godddamn abomination in Oribos.... Yes I'm bitter. They managed to make me bitter about a game. SIGH.

But that's exactly the reason why I like the Garrosh ending. Because it IS an ending. Arthas is doomed to be dragged back at some point, and his legacy potentially shat on (and Illidan too). Garrosh should have been done after SoO, the trial was already too much, the escape was nonsense and then WoD.... Better to go out with his character (aka a giant asshole supremacist) intact than some future nonsense.

that's your own fault for not having a pre-approved favorite character as allowed by blizzard. The story isn't for you unless you like thrall, baine, jaina, anduin, or slyvanas.

      If you're curious about the upgrade tracks for season 4 and the crests required for upgrades, look no further. Here’s a detailed visual guide created by Reddit user gandalin1306.
      Update: gandalin1306 updated the gearing guide, adding Whelpling Crest drops to Heroic dungeons. The image below has been updated.

      We've already talked about and taken a first look at the Delve-specific mount coming in the War Within, but now it's time to check out all of its customization options! 
      LeystTV has delved into the mount and shown off all the options, from the different colors to nose, wing, thruster, and top customizations, with glider, blimp, helicopter looks and more! There's even different versions of Horde and Alliance decals to choose from! 

      And these may not even be all the options present at launch, not to mention new ones Blizzard might add with later patches, making this one of the cooler mounts in the game.

      We have a Crest switch fix and weekly maximum increase, as well as a quest fix in retail, the big class tuning pass for Season of Discovery, and more in today's hotfixes.
      April 23 (Source)
      Items
      Season 3 (Dreaming) crests are now correctly removed from players' currency tabs. Players have received a small amount of gold for their unused Dreaming Crests. Players can now earn up to 120 crests of each type per week in Dragonflight Season 4 (was a maximum of 90 per week in Season 3). This will allow for up to 8 upgrades per week, per crest type (was 6 in Season 3). Developers' notes: For players who don't reach their maximum crest earnings in a given week, we've implemented the increasing-seasonal-cap system from previous seasons. Please note that this increase is likely applicable to Season 4 only. We expect the weekly maximum to return to 90 for The War Within Season One. Quests
      Resolved an issue where abandoning the quest "Something Worth Celebrating" could make it unavailable. Cataclysm Classic
      The dates for Children’s Week have been adjusted so that the holiday begins and ends three days later than previously scheduled. Season of Discovery
      Players who have completed the quest "Warranty Claim" but have misplaced their Pristine G-7 C.O.R.E. Processor before handing in the quest "Salvaging the Salvagematic" may now speak with the Lost and Found vendor Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay to recover the misplaced quest item. Fixed a Sunken Temple issue where the Atal'ai Defenders encounter would not reset properly. Druid The Natural Weapons talents now increases all damage done by druids in Season of Discovery, instead of just physical damage. The Gale Winds rune now reduces the mana cost of Hurricane by 60%. Swiftmend no longer consumes a Rejuvenation or Regrowth effect on the target when used. Developers’ notes: Please note that it does still require Rejuvenation or Regrowth to be on the target to be used. Hunter Rapid Killing now reduces the cooldown of Rapid Fire by 80% (was a reduction of 2 minutes). Chimera Shot weapon damage percent increased to 135% (was 120%). Explosive Shot base damage before attack power increased by 50%. Sniper Training has an additional new effect: while Sniper Training is at 5 stacks, Aimed Shot is instant. Serpent Spread now causes Multi-shot to apply Serpent Sting to its targets for 12 seconds (was 6 seconds). Steady Shot now deals 100% weapon damage (was 75%). Developers’ notes: There are more adjustments coming for Hunters. In general, we intend to improve the ranged playstyle and diminish the melee playstyle so that the two become more equivalent. Paladin Seal of Righteousness damage can now be critical hits. Sacred Shield’s duration is extended to 60 seconds (was 30 seconds). Crusader Strike has now gained an additional effect: Crusader strike now refreshes all judgement effects active on the target to a 30 second remaining duration. Seal of Martyrdom can now “twist” with other seals, including Seal of Command. Developers’ notes: Seal twisting was an interesting emergent effect that became popular during the original Burning Crusade, that utilized the slower server messaging system used in early versions of WoW to slightly extend the duration of the paladin’s active seal for a short time whenever a second seal was cast. This effectively allowed paladins to momentarily gain the benefit of two seals at once if they timed the application of a new seal to line up perfectly just before their weapon swing. We recreated this playstyle in Burning Crusade Classic and since then it’s been a popular request in other versions of original WoW, including Season of Discovery. As the game matures and we continue to listen to player feedback however, we recognize that for some, this is part of the charm and uniqueness of playing a paladin during those early eras of WoW’s history. We consider this change to be experimental and we will watch the performance and behavior of Retribution closely after this change. Priest Shadowform now increases all shadow damage done by 25% (was 15%). Rogue Saber Slash bleed now stacks up to 5 times. Saber Slash bleed now also increases the impact damage done by Sinister Strike and Saber Slash by 15% per stack for the rogue who applied the bleed. Saber Slash bleed now deals 3% of the rogue’s Attack Power in damage per tick (was 5%). Shaman Mental Dexterity now only triggers from dealing damage with Stormstrike and Lava Lash, and it now lasts 30 seconds (was 10 seconds). Burn now increases Flame Shock Damage by 100% and flame shock DoT duration by 6 seconds, and causes Flame Shock to strike up to 5 targets (was 3 targets). Developers’ notes: We’ve received a lot of feedback about the overall usability of mental dexterity, particularly for Elemental Shamans. This ability was not intended to be used by elemental, so the adjustments we’ve made are to help ensure its usage is a bit more enhancement-centric. To compensate, we’ve increased the output and usability of the Burn rune, with a slight quality-of-life improvement in the form of a Flame Shock duration increase which allows two Lava Burst casts to be used within a single Flame Shock duration.
