tbc-classic 9 Second High King Maulgar Only Kill

[Starym 3,779]

 

Here's a quick post for a very quick kill, as it only took NINE seconds to take down the main obstacle before Gruul!

This actually isn't even that uncommon and was done almost a month ago, but it's still interesting, as the stacked troll Arcane Mages under 20% HP (for the Berserk racial) just went all out on Haste and make short work of the High King via Arcane Blast spam!

Now obviously this isn't the way to "properly" clear the encounter, but you do get access to Gruul once Maulgar is dead, despite the rest of the ogre crew still being alive. In fact, many guilds actually do this and even did it back at the start of the expansion, since it's easier to just nuke down the king, go outside and then move past the others to get to Gruul - because the game counts the encounter as done when Maulgar dies. There was a discussion over this and how it should be logged on Warcraft Logs, aka whether it should require all the mobs being dead for the log to count, but the change was scrapped once Phase 2 was announced.
