Grommash Raid Boss Encounter (FANMADE!) [Fixed]

[Jakisuaki]

Hello guys and girls!
I thought it would be a fun project to make my own World of Warcraft Raid Boss, and I thought;"Hmm, we never really got to see Grommash fight properly, so why not make him into a boss?". This has been a super fun project that has taken a considerable amount of time and I hope you'll enjoy this read. I sure did.

DISCLAIMER: I am -NOT- Blizzard, the numbers you will see below are tuned as best as I could, some are probably OP, and some are probably undertuned, this was not the focus of my work, rather, the abilities and how the encounter works together was. I hope you'll understand this. This encounter does not specifically tie into the current lore of Draenor, seeing as Grommash is NOT the final raid boss there, rather, Archimonde is.

Feedback is GREATLY appreciated! Point out my mistakes. Does it suck? TELL ME, Do you like it? TELL ME! Was it "too long, didn't read", ok, that's understandable, but really, it's a great read.

Love,
Jaki

[Gimlix]

Wasn't there a green Grommash datamined at like end beta?
Wonder what the point of that was.

[Obelisk Kai]

Wasn't there a green Grommash datamined at like end beta?
Wonder what the point of that was.

Probably the original end boss concept.

I think they said Grommash really was going to be the final boss until they heard the collective groan of an audience burned out on a year of SOO with a Hellscream as boss.

You know, something anyone else would have figured out in twenty seconds.
