Typical trash mob.

The Axe throwers will do a spinning attack that is very annoying to dps melee and even does a bit of damage to a tank.

You can stun them out of the spin with Kidney Shot or Hammer of Justice, or you can have a mage sheep them out of it (even if the sheep pops, it stops them from spinning).

Commentaire de 3118

The spinning attack is more complicated. It makes them immune to stun, although the polymorph trick does work. Not only does it do standard melee strike damage to anyone in the whirlwind zone, but he flings out axes that hit cloth for 1000-1500+.

Said axe throw also knocks down the victim and has a tendency to pick on the same few people, so they are chain stunned taking 1500+ gashes in the chest.

The plus side to these guys is that they can be mind controlled. You get 3 abilities. Throw (throws 1 axe, just does damage), Enrage (increased melee damage) AND whirlwind!!!!

The ability will:
1) Use the troll's timer, so he won't have it up when you fight him.
2) Do damage to enemy units.
3) Do the melee based damage to all targets in melee range
4) WILL shoot axes out, will have the damage and stun components.
5) DOES stack with enrage.

So MC, Enrage, Whirlwind, Laugh.

https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/item=5634 do not prevent stuns from Axe Flurry.

Commentaire de Polynices

This mob is idiotically hard if soloing ZG at 80. The Axe Flurry is an unstoppable 10 second stun during which any other mobs attacking will do massive damage (since you can't block/parry/dodge when stunned).

Be sure to pull these solo if you can possibly help it or just avoid them entirely.

Their Stuns are complete hax.

No Diminishing Returns.
No Chance to Miss.
Can Stun those under the effect of The Beast Within.
Can Stun those under the effects of Divine Shield.
Can hit the same target every time.

if u r really unlucky like me, even 2 of them can kill a 80 war. So really watch out and if possible, try to dps asap to bring them down to one. Another thing about this mob, if u disarm them before they do the "axe flurry" or the spinning attack, they wont be able to activate it, but if u disarm them during their spinning attack, that wont help at all.
If u have to fight 2 or 3 at a time, try to dps them and slowly move back coz the one u r fighting will follow u all the time while others are just doing their range attack and if their whirl wind activate, u ll have a chance to move out their attack range before their first axe can stun u, and then u can just kill that one asap and pull the other one, but still these mobs are really a pain in the ass :( gl and hf lol

Commentaire de thedarkhaze

It is possible to out range the axe flurry so for ranged class just keep at max range and since they'll be at 30 for throw, once they start spinning run away and you should be able to out range it.

Commentaire de 247941

By far the most dangerous and annoying mob in the instance, even when trying to solo as a lvl 80. As a stealther, the axes will pull you out of stealth/shadowmeld and cause mobs to reaggro you if they are close enough. If you rely on vanish or shadowmeld to exit combat, these will become your most hated mob very quickly.

Commentaire de 126061

if there's more then 2 of these mobs in a pull, run away or prepare to die
as a lvl 78 DK in what i think to be decent tanking gear i've died to them every time

Commentaire de Zeldendorf

I find it funny how I can solo High Priest Thekal but I can't manage to kill a 3 pull of these as an aff warlock but I mean hey they aren't overpowered or anything

Commentaire de 83450

These guys were never designed with the solo level 80 in mind. Since you are the only target they're always hitting you and with 2 or worse, 3 of them up you can be perma stunned until dead.

Level 80 Feral druid 32k Health and 33k Armor dead in about 20 seconds due to 3 of them chaining this. I couldn't manage to kill even one of them so I have to start over again...

I solo'd Hakkar with my eyes closed but I can't kill trash ><

Commentaire de 122372

LEVEL 80'S BE WARNED...THESE MOBS ARE LEGENDARY.

These are not your average troll...though they are not as popular as Zul'Jin, one of these mobs can bring a level 80 to his or her knees. Their stun cannot be stopped, does not miss, and rarely ends.

If you are trying for the mount avoid these unless you have back up. Also note, they are throwing axes at you, and you are not technically being stunned by a melee whirlwind, so you can be stunned even if you are not engaging these in melee.

Also, my level 80 feral druid nearly died to just 2 of these things, since they kept spamming that move. Clothies...you should know what's up.

In short, if you wanna aoe something down, don't aggro these mobs. They will stun you while you have like 45 elites on you, thus nearly guaranteeing your death. Also...see above posts as well.

These worthy foes truly have earned that golden dragon around their portrait.

Commentaire de Mantrhax

This, AGAIN , only shows that Blizzard doesn't care about players, they really dont give a %^&* .
This thing must be nerfed so people can solo zul gurub for fun or anything else...

When u think u already saw every kind of retarded action in your life, Blizzard surprise u with a new retard record.

Way to go

Commentaire de robertdexter

I had four of these guys on me once one spin stopped another one started lets just say my 80 war tank didnt get to do much....

Commentaire de 229345

These things are by far the hardest part of my mount run every reset, but it is possible to clear the pulls with 3 of them as a warlock without too much trouble if you do it right. Just send your pet in to get some aggro on them, stay far back to avoid the stuns. Pull one of them off him at a time and dot it up and nuke, usually I kill it before it starts stunning but if not the dots will finish it off. Just keep doing this 1 at a time, and when a few tigers start building up on you from health funnel threat just aoe them down. Not too bad as long as they don't decide to chain stun the hell out of you 'til your pet dies.

Commentaire de 360629

Am I the only one bothered more about how *slowly* they spin than their stun haxx? My 5-year old niece could spin faster than that. It's like they're mocking you...

Anyway, on my Death Knight, I've found that quickly zerging down at least one before they start their stun chain gives the best results. If you can blow some short cooldowns to get two down, you're golden. It helps to run up to one of them, Death Grip another over, and then use something like Heart Strike to get two of them down.

Beyond that, it's all luck. If one starts spinning two seconds after you engage, then another ten seconds after that, and the third ten seconds after that, and then the first again..... Yeah, you're going to ever-so-slowly die. But hey, it'll give you plenty of time to confirm my observations on their spin speed.

Commentaire de Eternall

Damn these guys, Bestial Wrath doesn't work against the stun which caught me by surprise, I accidently left a Zulian Cub alive when I pulled a group of these and I was stunned for 20 seconds straight. Instant dead, no doubt the most evil preBC mob in the game :)

Commentaire de Exhorder

Soloing Zul'Gurub, don't get too @#$%y and try to pull more than 3 of these or you will die without even having a chance to fight back (first hand experience :) )

Commentaire de error10

As a level 80 frost mage in all 200+ epics and several tier pieces, just starting to solo ZG, this particular "trash" mob gives me the most trouble. The Axe Flurry is pretty much impossible to escape. I've tried to Blink out of it, but while I get 20 yards away, I still get stunned for the duration.

The only thing that has really been effective is the lost art of the sheep pull: Sheep one of them, blow away the rest of them as fast as possible. If facing 3 or more, sheep one, have your pet take one and you take the third. I've got enough stamina to ride out two whirlwinds, but a third is death. I ignore any other mobs (snakes, panthers, etc) until all the axe throwers are down, then put up Ice Barrier again (it'll be down) and Blizzard them to death.

I even kill the axe throwers before any healers in a given group (e.g. Hakkari Priest). They go down fast as long as you aren't stunned...

Speaking of which, if you haven't learned the fine art of controlling your pet, go level a hunter or warlock until you have it down.

Commentaire de Obolon

These are actually easy to take out if you know the trick. The trick is to be an 80 Rogue. If there are two of them, just Sap one and dps the hell out of the other fast. Even if he goes into the spin twice he can't kill you. Just take him down. Vanish while the other is sapped (yes, vanish to get out of combat) and the go have a sandwich and heal. Now go take him on. One of these guys is a piece of cake as an 80 rogue.

If you have three of them to go up against, then Sap brings that down to two. So Sap one. You can try to pull one away from the other remaining one, but it's pretty much a waste of time. Pick one, then :

Premeditate
Ambush
Eviscerate
Disarm
Riposte if you have it
Switch to the other and hit with a quick Gouge to hold him for a few seconds and switch back and finish off the first one with :
Hemorrhage
Ghostly Strike

Since you undoubtedly were using poison the first one is dead now and the second one is easy enough to DPS even if you pulls out a whirl or two on you. So kill him with rogue-like precision and then :

Vanish!
Heal
Come back for the one you originally Sapped and dispatch him.

I haven't tried this, but I think it could narrow it down too. If you get too much attention from more than one, it's easy to forget that you can Blind one.

Commentaire de levalexi

i dont believe anybody has said this yet, but just run by them.
the pat of 2 walking around you can go around and if thye are on the bridge, give them the right of way. the one near kitty boss, hug the other wall.

Commentaire de 546789

Frost Mages can destroy packs of these mobs without too much hassle, even the 3 packs, just blizzard them at max range. Take a couple steps back when the do their axe whirl if needed, but as long as you blizzard from max range, you can kill them and not be hit.

You can also use your pet's ranged frost nova to root them in place first; makes it even easier.

Commentaire de 274557

If there's 1 it's not a big problem if you can survive the 10 seconds, 2 you can dps one down and you're back to 1, if there's 3 and you manage to kill only 1 before the whirwlind, pray that the 2nd one uses his during the other ones, as they dont stack in any way, and have cooldowns therefore you can kill another one before it's ready. Also it's noteworthy it not only stuns, which is stoppable with for example icebound fortitude, but also knock you on your ass, but if I got that right you can still hit them then.

Commentaire de 590595

If you try and solo the boss its really important you clear these.

Ive had it happen once that i aggro'd em while having boss on low health.

Commentaire de Syio

Given the opportunity, I'd love to vote these as the most overpowered mobs ever. The bane of any unwary group hoping for a quick stab at Thekal and attempting clearing the room in 1 shot.

Commentaire de 260040

In one of the above comment posted by DrPancake, says that the Gurubashi Axe Thrower
"Can Stun those under the effects of Divine Shield."

I found that the above comment is not true (at least as of Patch 3.3.5). The Divine Shield grands complete immunity to all the stuns / whirlwind by the Gurubashi Axe Throwers. I tested it myself today. I run into a group of 4 Axe Throwers and they stunned me with their whirlwinds and I was unable to control my character. Then I poped up my Divine Shield and killed all of them. DS was a lifesaver.

Commentaire de Ethlin

They should make one of these a raid boss in Cata.

Commentaire de Gemminie

As a demo warlock, I have no trouble with these if I send in the Felguard, let him get a little aggro, then throw a few Seeds of Corruption into the group (put it on the one the Felguard is meleeing last). Another way to do it is to go Metamorphosis, turn on Immolation Aura, charge in and use Shadowflame. Even if you're stunned, the Immolation Aura continues doing damage.

As a shadow priest, I have some trouble with these. The best thing I can find is to use Dispersion as soon as their axe whirl takes down my shield, as Dispersion can be used even if you're stunned (unfortunately the axe whirl debuff prevents you from moving even with Dispersion -- Dispersion makes you immune to snares, but not stuns). But unfortunately if you have 2 or 3 Axe Throwers, they can chain their axe whirls, and you'll never get to do anything before you come out of Dispersion and die. No, the best tactic if you're facing a group containing Axe Throwers is to pick one of them, hit that one with as much DPS to start as you can before it gets to you, then throw DoTs on the other ones. Their axe whirls end immediately when they die, of course.

To pallies soloing stuff in zg:

Don't bother to fight those in prot spec.
Switch to retribution, keep your tank gear on but use your thrusty two-hander. The magic word here is Repentance. Unbelievably useful.

Commentaire de 513218

These guys are anoying when alone or in pairs, but equal to a wipe if there is 4 or more together, even to 80s. I have been soloing Thekal for the mount with my hunter, and the first time, i forgot to kill the cubs roaming between the enemy packs before pulling the first group, they runed to the other group after taking damage and soon i was facing 6 of these axe-hurling maniacs, along a bazillion of tigers.
My pet managed to hold the agro of all of them, but when three of the axe guys started spining...ugh. 40+ seconds stuned, doing nothing except falling to the ground and getting up, over and over, before the damage finally killed me. The beast within is not efective, nor deterrence, i can certify it. My hint for hunters: Engage no more of three of them whenever possible, freeze trap one, and burn the others one at a time, giving them priority in the kill order over any other enemy. You may save yourself a lot of time and gold in repairs that way.

Commentaire de 487010

My prot paly (ICC gear, 44k unbuffed, switched trinks to avoidance) could probably kill 4 of these... since 3 was doable. I remember one time pulling 6 or 7... no amount of consecrations, holy shields or anything else I button-mushed in panic could saved me. Not many attempts at casting were coming through, obviously.

They were wearing me down faster then killing themselves off with my retribution aura. It's possible that my trying to run away made things worse, as well.

Commentaire de Omgomgesiuol

I just came here to say this..

Aren't you all so very glad Blizzard didn't give Arms this instead of Bladestorm?
Srsly, Imagine ANY pvp with this, even if it was disarmable it would take some skill to pull one off.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Typical mob found in ZG. They do have a whirl attack so healers should stay away.

Commentaire de Thottbot

they di axe flurry, stuns for2 sec, this attack repeats itselve 900-1100 dmg per 2 sec on clothies

Commentaire de Thottbot

sheepable, not easily soloable (by 70s) due to the stun effects
