So, there's this Wrath-release event happening. One of the side-plays during the event is a duel between Thrall and Garrosh Hellscream. And while Thrall was busting out all the Shaman mojo he could, he ultimately loses to Garrosh. Over and over. Why, Thrall? How could it come to this? Where did we go wrong?
In an attempt to understand how the Warchief could be struck low by the young pup, we here at WoW Insider bring you the Top Ten Reasons Thrall got pwned by Garrosh:
- Thrall is secretly a keyboard turner.
- Thrall forgot to repair his gear before the queue popped.
- Garrosh has been studying the art of war at a Retribution Pally temple.
- Thrall broke Line-of-Sight from his druid.
- The Warchief was distracted by worry that Jaina might be in danger.
- Since the release of 3.0.2, healing in PvP has been dang near impossible.
- Thrall's heart just wasn't in it, since there's no Arena points this week.
- Warriors still need a good nerfin'.
- The RNG hates Thrall.
...and finally... - In Wrath of the Lich King, the devs all play Garrosh.
We hope this short list helps bring solace to the millions of orcs who have found their hero laid low by Garrosh Hellscream. We hope you can gird your courage, and find strength to join us on the way to Northrend. As the saying goes, it ain't over till it's over.

Besides, its like fighting grom, and thrall just love grom so darn much he couldent hurt him!
Thats why!

I agree, Thrall still had yet to heal. When the fight is interrupted he's only at half health and GH isn't much better. Impudent as GH is, Thall knows a quick beating would shame him, and was keeping his best tricks in reserve.

Of Course Thrall loses, he casts Chain Lightning on a Single Target. GG Thrall.

Just so everybody knows, Thrall did NOT have 5.5 mil hp in the encounter. He had about 550k hp.
I may be mistaken, but that's what I saw.

You were mistaken.

But seriously, Thrall does look like a W-A-S-D player, he would have been dazed for half the fight.

It's just so hard to play a shaman in PVP, even Thrall can't do it!
briker01 Nov 11th 2008 1:21PM
Yeah - He's a Shaman. He loses at PvP. He didn't even try to heal himself.
I tried to heal him during the fight, but it gave me and LOS error.

ur missing one
thrall have lag

I thought it was because he didn't use totems or pop Bloodlust.....
(don't call it Heroism like I did in Org unless you wanna get flagged. So sorry they are the same thing, Heroism sounds better)
My 3rd was that he didn't heal himself but thats there.
Also, where were the Spirit Wolfs?

When I saw the event there were about 50 Horde inside watching, and everyone was yelling stuff like "Earthbind! Kite him! Frost Shock!" or (the Garrosh Supporters, I guess) "Trinket!" Guess there were some Arena players in there. I just yelled "Go Thrall!"
Of course, Thrall's power as a shaman comes from the ancestors, so if they're displeased with his course of action they might not rally the elements to his aid, which would mean almost certain defeat against a warrior like Garrosh... do the ancestors support an assault on Northrend? Maybe so. /lorenerd mode
It was pretty classic... it really looked like a scene from a movie, with the stands full of shouting onlookers.

It's because he's a shaman
Alan Nov 11th 2008 11:38AM
As a leader, Thrall is all about politics now. Imagine how much more Hellscream is fighting than Thrall is.

11. Garosh was using one of the rumoured "Four-Handed Weapons" for Titan's Grip warriors (which are extremely OP).
12. Thrall thought he saw Sylvanas wink at him and wasn't sure whether to blush or throw up.
SBKT Nov 11th 2008 1:21PM
Wait, does that mean I'm like the only guy who'd tap that?
Skuling Nov 11th 2008 2:25PM
@ SBKT Belive me, you're not alone ^^
Besides Thrall is spoken for, if Thrall as much as tried he'd get a Pissed Jaina Proudmore after him, she'd teleport him to Blackrock or something :O
