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.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
