On Warcraft
Episode “Broggok the beholder”

Mark: Hey, welcome back to On Warcraft on On Networks, Mark Majcher.
Arwin: I am Arwin Lietz.
Mark: And we are going to show you the next boss in the blood furnace, it is the beholder.
Arwin: Low, it is the beholder, Broggok.
Mark: The beholder Broggok, not a beholder, the beholder as a given title.
Arwin: Are you a lawyer?
Mark: I am not a lawyer anymore; no I have been sued out of practice, debarred.
Arwin: Sorry about that, hopefully blizzard will not get sued for their copyright infringement of beholder, the beholder his given name.
Mark: The beholder, not an infringement.
Arwin: No, not at all, not in the least.
Mark: Totally legal.
Arwin: But we will tell you how to kill him anyways, and skirt any possible copyright laws.
Mark: Right because he will be dead.
Arwin: He is dead, all righty so we are in the blood furnace and we’re ready to kill the second boss, Broggok the Beholder.
Mark: Born ready.
Arwin: Totally ready. Two things to know before you even get to Broggok, one there’s going to be a rogue waiting outside the door. So after you go down a little hallway, it is kind of like a dorm room in fact of all these different mobs, at the end of there is going to be a rogue stealth waiting for you.
Mark: Waiting for you with the pointy sharpness.
Arwin: So make sure that you kill him out, if you wipe on Broggok now you have two rogues to get by.
Mark: Right, so double buddies.
Arwin: Always with a buddy, so you walk into Broggok room and you are going to have for pens of orcs, they’re penned up there rage is unspent at this point.
Mark: Yep, they are all mmm.
Arwin: They are ready to jump on you so this is a time to vent, and it is going to start with a lever pull, make sure nobody in your party walks up and says oh, what is this lever for? I don’t know, it will start the event and it is a chaotic event. It is pretty spine tingling, Orc on Orc action.
Mark: Whew that’s hot.
Arwin: It’s crazy, so happy if pull the lever and you made sure everyone is ready the first gate is going to open to release the first of four waves of orcs. Now they’re not too bad when they first come out, there just going to come out in a group of three, non elites. The second group is going to add an elite, the third wave is going to add another elite and take away one of those non elites, and so on and so forth.
So you have to make sure you can take out as many as you can, crowd control as many as you can. This is another fight again, second of two boss fights where you’re going to really be reliant on the sheep, on fears because you have got that warlock who is loving this instance.
Mark: Right use just rolling in it.
Arwin: He is rolling in something.
Mark: This is also timed so you have to be on it.
Arwin: It is timed so you have to keep one sheeped in all of these waves, 2 minutes later I think its 2 minutes; another door will open up and released the next wave so you don’t really get much of a reprieve, until the last guy of the last wave. So you have got four waves, keep one of those guys sheeped the entire time, you can mana regin and spirit regin, and get your food back up in all that, well you can actually eat because you’re still in combat but you can regin your mana and regin your health before you faced Broggok.
Now Broggok is mainly a poisoner, so is actually good if you have someone who can depoison in your party. It is not anything that you cannot get rid of, I mean you can probably deal with it, heal through it, but it is handy if you have someone who can depoison. He is going to spit a little poison ball and bullets at each person that is an individual thing. The other thing he does is the ring of poison.
Mark: Doom.
Arwin: He is going to spit rings on the floor that grow so tanks…
Mark: Don’t spit on the floor.
Arwin: He is going to; he does not care about rules.
Mark: He is not ladylike at all.
Arwin: He does not behold rules; no he does glances right over them he doesn’t care.
Mark: If you have a plus two spittoon that you are beholding though you’ll be all set.
Arwin: Yeah bring your spit resist gear, so make sure tanks and melee, if you see the ring spread move the boss somewhere else, don’t let everyone stand there. Friends do not let friends stand in spit.
Mark: Do not stand in the spit, get out of the spit.
Arwin: Get out of the spit, and once he is all good and dead those rings can still kill you so when you are watching the need and greed window and you do not know if this gear is what you have got.
Mark: Keep an eye on the floor.
Arwin: Watch the floor.
Mark: It is like 1:30 AM at the bar, just watch where you step.
Arwin: Always watch on the floor, so this guy is essentially a pushover once you get all the waves of that works that is the really tough part of the instance, of the boss fight. Then loot at 0% of the boss, and if you do wipe, remember the buddy system.
Mark: Yep, rogue, rogue, rogue.
Arwin: Watch out for the rogues stealth on your corpse run back, watch out for the poison that he spits on you that you can dispel, in the rings on the floor that you can’t dispel but you can get rid of and walk away from. Just walk away.
Mark: Yeah, dispel by getting out of the way.
Arwin: Just walk away; there we go that is him in a nutshell.
Mark: That is him, and crack down. Aah, all done.
Arwin: Nothing like a good Broggok kill in the morning.
Mark: Nope, so we’re done with him and we hit the next dude who is The Breaker.
Arwin: The maker, no wait it is The Breaker.
Mark: First you make it then you break it.
Arwin: First you make it then you break it, Keli’dan.
Mark: Yeah so we’re going to show you how to do that, coming up next.
