It may take 5 full raid groups but the horde will get it done.

Commento di Shockna

Yeah, on massive servers it tends to take hundreds of players, regardless of faction, to down Bolvar/Thrall.

Commento di whitedragon254

notice how it changed from slaying Bolvar to slaying Varian now? Varian is almost def now replacing bolvar for sure.

Commento di Kalx

The guy just came back from somewhere and we already have the duty of putting him down.

Awesome!

Heh, I was once in a raid for Stormwind on my server that included 4 raid groups (Yes thats 160 people), We had to watch our spacing so as to not crash the server lol, but we got to the path leading up to Stormwind and then an alliance came out with like 2/3s health for whatever reason and everyone basically wanted to start killing things so then we charged after the alliance and just went in Stormwind and rocked the entire city killing everything from the bankers, to the AH, to the King and then we preceded to the Deeprun tram to try and rush the next boss, but we pretty much had already done we planned to do.

And for those wondering what my FPS was.... I had about 2-5fps with a Nvidia 8800 GTS card inside the Kings room. It probably took the raid about 2-3min to down the boss.... rofl pwned.

This will likely be the hardest city raid to accomplish, simply due to the fact that Varian Wrynn is standing twenty feet from the Stormwind Battlemasters.

That combined with the long walk from Eastvale Logging Camp would give Alliance players more then enough time to get 100+ people defending him (at least on my server).

This pretty much means you either kill him on your first try, or come back another day. >.>

Sylvanas might also be difficult, but Undercity dosent have anywhere near the amount of people hanging around as Stormwind (again, on my server at least).

Yeah I think I can confirm that all of the Faction leaders have been buffed in response to the new Achievement. I observed a group of 40 Horde rush into SW Keep last night only to be absolutely obliterated by the King and the guards. I really want to know what his abilities are, because when they aggro'd him, he ran into the middle of their group and about 10 seconds later they were all dead. They didn't even make it up the ramp.

Killed him last night with 3 Raidgroups.

Only the raidgroup which tagged him first got the achievment, though this seems to be a bug, or so the GM told us.

Unlike Tyrande and Velen, who died (thrice) earlier tonight and respawned after about 20 minutes, this one has
6 hours respawn time.

GM did not respawn him for us, nor did he give the achievment to all of us.

This is coming from the perspective of a guild that downed him at lvl 70, so I imagine things will only get easier with level.

He can be solo tanked, although having multiple tanks building threat on him is not a bad idea in case of alliance interference (Mind Control, Cyclone, MS Debuff) or random death. He hits fairly hard, though not as hard as Magni, and if there were no outside interference, a well geared tank could probably be kept up by two healers (our raid was almost all sunwell geared).

Even his whilrwind will not always oneshot a non-tank, but the general strategy was for melee to wait for a whirlwind, go in and do approx 3 attacks, then run out and wait again. His heroic leap ability can be outranged by casters/healers, though getting that range would depend on where you tanked him if you keep him in the throne room. In reality, the heroic leap was more of a nuisance than a threat. Assuming you don't have all of your healers directly on top of each other (and thus all getting stunned), the damage is small enough to be irrelevant. He CAN whirlwind immediately after a leap (before returning to the tank), which can be deadly if the ranged group can't react fast enough.

As an aside (that will honestly not be relevant for long) we went back and killed him a second time during the scourge invasion, when he was moved to the harbor. It became a fourpull, with Varian, Bolvar (who is still a boss-type mob, though he's not tuned for level 80 and has only about 1 million HP), Valeera Sanguinar (80 elite), and Broll Bearmantle (80 elite). The fight and his abilities were no different, and so long as you kept Bolvar's aoe Hammer of Justice out of the raid it wasn't much harder to control. It should be known that any of them will respawn a few minutes after dying, so you should be careful to not pull a freshly spawned add into an in-progress fight. Varian also has a much much shorter respawn time during the event (don't know exactly but less than 15 minutes), which is a shame as I for one would have liked to interrupt the alliance efforts into Northrend.

Commento di Limi

Respawn time of King Varian Wrynn is 6 hours

One could use the Death Knight's Path of Frost spell in order to run into Stormwind through the Harbor area, by mounting up and running over the water from the northern edge of Westfall.

The raid I was in did this during the wee hours of what was technically Monday morning, so very few Alliance were around. This may not be the case with other times, or other servers, however.

Commento di haxkq

i do not know how peopel can find tis hard i think this is the easyest of all 4 bosses.last night we whent in sw whit 0 healers 0 MAIN SPEC HEALERS all offspec (we didnt kill him cuz some emo guy ninjad him but suprisly afther 3 mins he wase down to 3.75mill hp we got whiped on his hard attack hitting me 10k...

Commento di TheCreed

Where did this guy return from? I've heard something about a prison pre-bc but i didn't play WoW then.

Would have been nice if he came back from a crusade against something, like Prince Edward :/

Commento di seaniesharko

Did this twice with a normal raid group... no problems.

Commento di Negi

Ehehehe... just did it today wiv like 3 raid groups on a chinese server. We decided not to clear our way in, and all of us died our way in, thenhid in the room on the RIGHT of the king. An engineer made a repair bot and we repaired, then killed the king. EASY! Well, we're 70 against 75 guards, which made it a bit hard, but that can't be helped, cuz we ARE playing chinese servers which can't use wrath...

Commento di 122372

Did this with one raid group on the Boulderfist server. The only reason we survived the alliance was that we all rode by the main square and then turned around to defend ourselves from the alliance. To be honest we were probably lucky that maybe a lot of them were afk, I've never seen so many allies and I've been to Stormwind only once in order to run the stockade dungeon on my druid.

Anyways, he's no problem, just don't pull the battlemaster and you are also near that train, so make quick work of him before the allies tear you a new one.

Commento di Valkari

*sigh* I just did this with a pug "For the Horde!" raid on Blackwing Lair, and we had killed Whisperwind and Valen. We also killed King Wyrnn, but not a single person in our raid got the achievement for some dumb reason.

The group didn't stay together long enough to go for the dwarf king...

Woo! The patch not only made it so you can get the achievement for killing the King, but when I logged on, I already had the achievement. So glad I don't have to kill him again.

Commento di skywalk

The same happened to our raid just now. No one in the raid received credit. The achievement appears to be suffering from some post-patch blues. You may want to hold off on getting a group together for this one until Blizzard lets us know it's been fixed.

Commento di 255504

Fixed in 3.1.1:

From blue post for patch notes today 4/21
Corrected an issue preventing players from earning the achievement, “Storming Stormwind.” Players who were not properly awarded this achievement for completing the objective should retroactively be granted completion.

Commento di 258919

lol @ achievement icon

In my opinion, the toughest of the Alliance city bosses.

If you started in Ironforge, you should just take the Deeprun Tram to Stormwind. Stormwind Keep is nearby.

If you don't start in Ironforge, you can summon players to the Deeprun Tram. Being in the Tram room does NOT flag you for PvP (unless, of course, you are on a PvP server), though chances are every player in every city will know you're coming. For this reason, I reccommend swimming up the coast of Westfall and summoning there. Stay behind the cliff face so nobody can see you. Then, when you're ready, have Death Knights pop path of frost and mount up. Go up the stairs and through the city (it's a decent run). Just make sure nobody falls off the stairs because of lag like they did in my raid.

Remember: Players > Boss. When faced with players, kill them ASAP. Death Knights should go first, along with healers (at least, silence healers if possible). Fortunately the closest graveyard is a short walk outside of the city, so you shouldn't have to fight a player more than 3 times at most.

Because it's probably the most populated Alliance city (maybe Ironforge), expect player resistance and lots of it.
