Conquest Pit quest chain:

Bear Wrestling
Mad Furbolg Fighting
Blood and Metal
Death Is Likely
Final Showdown

Similar to the Ring of Blood event, each quest works like an escort, when someone in your party starts the quest all party members nearby will have to accept the quest. For the first four quests, you should ideally have the designated tank start the quest since the starter will get initial aggro. If your tank doesn't have the quest he can still easily pull aggro right at the start and continue the fight from there.

Hellcleave has a Whirlwind ability. He will also Charge players and pets outside of melee range which seems to drop the threat of his current target and in turn the charged player gets aggro. Stay close to him for the fight and only move out when he Whirlwinds.

solo'd the whole chain as a protection paladin using judgement of light, seal of wisdom, occasionaly healing myself. improved hammer of justice.

sunwell/bt gear.

Comment by killerch0

A tank is pretty much a must. We hardly did it (on 3rd, 4th try) with a retri paladin, a mage and me as a resto druid

Soloed the 3 first on a 78 tankadin, but not this one. WTB heals

I did Delivery to Krenna - starting with Gray Worg Hides - before I gained acces to the pit-quests - but it was the last quests I had left in the camp. So it needs confirmation

easy solo as a 80 prot pally, mind you that you'll need your LoH cooldown.

Healers beware - he has a Mortal Strike effect. Me and another druid, both balance, duo'd the fights leading up to this one rather easily with me healing and him nuking, but this one was way harsher due to him hitting like a truck, and frequently using said Mortal Strike. It's doable, but unless you feel especially macho, I'd at least try to 3-man it unless you have a class extremely capable of soloing un-ccable elites.

Barely solo'd with my Death Knight at lvl 78, spec'd Unholy. Was in Frost Presence and used my tanking gear - 543 defense so I was uncritable. Still burned one pot, used a healing trinket and my Herbalism HoT. He killed me at 2% health and fortunately I was able to finish him off as a ghoul since my pet took aggro.

At one point in the fight he charged my ghoul, I recommend using that time to bandage. Soloing this entire quest line is doable if you have the gear for it. I was in mostly Tempered Saronite plate, and quest / dungeon blues.

For those of you who don't know, "Defenestration" is the act of throwing something (or someone) out of a window.

(According to Grennix Shivwiggle, Horgrenn Hellcleave is a mass defenestrater.)

Comment by 2OfDiamonds

Defenestration is the act of throwing someone or something out of a window. The term was coined around the time of an incident in Prague Castle in the year of 1618. The word comes from the Latin de (from; out of) and fenestra (window or opening).

Some famous defenestrations:

* In the book of Kings 2 in the Bible, Jezebel is defenestrated by her own servants at the urging of Jehu.
* During the Polish January 1863 Uprising, Russian troops maliciously threw Frédéric Chopin's piano out of a second-story apartment. The incident was famously memorialized in Polish poet Cyprian Norwid's poem, "Chopin's Piano." The composer had left Warsaw and Poland forever shortly before the outbreak of the November 1830 Uprising.

Fiction:

* In the television show Heroes, Peter Petrelli is defenestrated by Sylar in episode "Eris Quod Sum". Also, in episode "It's Coming", Claire Bennet defenestrates herself to escape from Knox and Flint Gordon from Peter Petrelli's apartment.

*edit* muchos gracias.

Horgrenn Hellcleave

Comment by Iroared

I took him down to about 40% alone, and then he for some reason healed to full health. After this I gave up.

Comment by Caewyn

We had that happen to yesterday! We were doing well when all of a sudden he regained full health and we all just wiped.We were all like, what happened there! It was like it was bugged or something, very strange crazy fight. After that, we recruited a fourth person and managed to dps the whole fight. Very weird.

Comment by AmIStoned

Soloed as a fury warrior, tauren, with full t9 and mostly ilvl 245 gear. Used Enraged Regen, and because I ran out of potions the fight beforehand, had a sick feeling I was going to die. Miraculously came out on top with 0.5% of my hp left.

Long story short, would NOT suggest soloing this guy unless you are either A) heavily geared or B) a tank that has heals and a buttload of avoidance.

Comment by coolkingler1

Simply said this guy is a beast and hits like a truck

Comment by 590836

solo'd as 76 death knight blood tank, quite easy

20k armor
19% dodge
15% parry

keep diseases up, spam death/heart strike and use cooldowns as soon as they are up, kite him around and he will hit you less, at least that was my experience. was def capped, so that might've helped alot

Description

I'm gonna shoot straight with ya, kid. This next contender's a murderer.

Literally.

He was to be executed last week, but he strangled the hangman with his left hand, so Krenna's guards sort of let me have him.

Feel free to pass on this one. I wouldn't blame ya.
