You can easily level your weapon skills at the end if you attack the surrounding ogre Spirits. You must not speak to the little Ogre to make you king, otherwise the Spirits become friendly. You want them to be hostile. They won't attack back and they will never die but you can attack them. Bring the fastest weapon you can get with you, good weapon skill leveling ;)
I think with a video like this, it would be extremely helpful to show all the gear used by you and the rogue and each of the player's talents at the time of the video
Good to see this is possible, I was afraid it wouldn't be due to King Gordok using sunder. Been successfully running 2 druid(1 resto/1 feral tank) and 1 rogue runs which may be a better option for those that aren't quite as geared
I spent about a few hours trying this out with a rogue friend. At the end, it looks like our gear was just not good enough. We both hit 60 a week ago and have like half pre-bis. He couldn't dps fast enough and I couldn't heal enough to keep up with the 2000 damage crits. Still, we had a blast trying as we both like a challenge and this was like trying to down a raid boss for us. It was fun thinking up consumables and the like that could help. We brought in another druid friend to help kill him. We are going to get more geared and try again and hope Blizzard doesn't mess with the encounter.
Tried this with a rogue in full pre-raid BiS plus Nightslayer legs / belt. 3.2k health. I was a druid more geared than Ebbn in this video. It was not doable for us, Gordok hits too hard with mortal strike and just straight up one shots the rogue sometimes. Seems like this almost solely relies on how well geared the rogue is.
I've been doing this for the past week or so, the first kill is the hardest without DM buffs, I have pretty much full raid bis at the moment so my damage is quite high. Things to help, Mongoose pot, firewater, Juju, stamina food and grog, songflower serenade and lastly greater stoneshield pot. I've only required these on the first kills to be sure as the corpse run is horrendous. Now the spec....
Talk to Captain Kromcrush (he will be green to you) before becoming the king, get him to run downstairs and come back get the king debuff and open the chest gets you guaranteed 3 blue items. You are welcome :)
Very nice, thanks for the vid Ebbn. This was my absolute favorite thing to do on Light's Hope. I ran this with a rogue and it's a blast to play. On LH my rogue had to be geared to the teeth (BWL gear) and needed prep to be able to do double evasion. This looks like it's a lot easier on Classic, your rogue is a lot less geared. Of course he is well geared for P1.
If you didnt know already, if you speak to the Captain (4th Guard) before spawning the Tribute Chest, you'll get an extra Blue Item in it (3rd Item). Atleast it was that way for me in all then runs i've don.e :)
Just a side note. You guys can sell the loot from the chest to anyone outside making gph even more. Selling rings for 75-85g, chest for 50g and staff for 90g. Have invis pots for the person buying if not rogue or Druid.
How do you fellow rogues prevent yourself from getting bopped by those Mortal Strike burst crits? He sometimes crits a swing then the MS and that adds up to a lot. The MS crit itself is ~1.8k

Gotta say, as a druid, it hurt my soul when you vendored unyielding maul
Druids, Ebbnflow! Druids! <3

YOU HAVE TO SPEAK TO THE CAPTAIN FIRST BEFORE THE CHEST TO GET ANOTHER LOOT.........
Really helps having Disenchanting too. Some items are less than 1g50s vendor value. Those turn into 2g+ easy.

The stealth detection icon is phase 5 or 6 (whenever they do the dungeon revamp)

Thnx for the tips
What build are you running this with and how geared do you need to be ?
