Who will deliver the killing blow?

[razorfire]

Dear gods no. Anyone. ANYONE but Thrall. He can't save the universe again. Just no. No. I'd rather just let Garrosh live than that.

so you'd rather no one get the kill so that the character you dislike can be spited, how mature.

[Mykey93]

I hope its a little showdown and they all jump in to fight him together but Garrosh knocks away Thrall and Varian. He'll then go to finish thrall off and Vol'jin will shoot him in the back with an arrow.

If that's how it's got to happen then yes. I'm sure it could be dealt with in a manner that's not Thrall saving everyone, and someone else saving him. I thought it was clear a lot of people had had more than their fill of Thrall last expansion, and that's why he's been relatively absent this time around. Having had him save us against Deathwing, save Orgrimmar from Jaina's Tsunami, and save us all again from Garrosh is just... words escape me.

we are the ones who will clean the filth in orgrimmar. why should mr king louie vol'jin sucker, mon! deliver the killing blow? no, i want to see US delivering the killing blow.

The prophecy clearly states that it shall be Vol'Jin

[Felarion]

I think blizzard should create two endings, for horde and alliance. In Horde version i'd like to see Thrall strike killing blow as well as something symbolic, like Gorehowl shatter by a Doomhammer or something like this.

As for Alliance i can't decide between Varian and Jaina.

I never suggested having Thrall save us from Garrosh. However it should be Thrall's decision (assuming he is alive at the end of the encounter) as to what is to be done to Garrosh when everyone else defeats him.

Thrall may decide to:
1) Hand the leadership of the Horde to someone like Vol'jin or Varok and let them decide what to do with Garrosh (reasonably likely)
2) Sentence Garrosh to death, and assign someone like Vol'jin or Varok the task of execution (less likely)
3) Sentence Garrosh to death and carry out the sentence personally (highly unlikely)
4) Grant Garrosh an alternative punishment (eg exile, imprisonment etc) (reasonably likely)

Also I suspect it's highly unlikely that Thrall will be instrumental in the battle. Garrosh has used the power of the Dark Shaman to corrupt the elements around Orgrimmar, making it impossible for Thrall to call on those elements, rendering the Shaman in this case, somewhat impotent.

SoO will be having different endings for both factions, so we might expect something like that.

If by "US" you mean the horde champions, that could work. If however you mean the Alliance champions, I would have a problem with this, and so too would the entire Horde.

Garrosh is the leader of the Horde who betrayed the Horde. His sentence should be carried out by the Horde. The Alliance are welcome to help the Horde in defeating Garrosh and bringing him to justice, but that is where their role ends, unless of course we accept that the unacceptable premise that the Horde have lost their honour and sovereignty.

arguable, alliance could easily try to turn that around by saying they deserve the kill if only to be rid of the person that (along with varian during wrath) actively increased hostilities between the two factions to the point of open war (believe it or not there were varying degrees of either cold war or strained peace until garrosh and varian really started going at eachother, even the BGs in game could be considered little more than border disputes). alliance has rights to a kill because garrosh is the driving force behind most of their major losses over the last few years of in game time, but they were still winning the majority of actual lore battles. horde has the right to the kill as he betrayed the trust of every race in the horde including some of the orcs in a manner that fully warrants his death, and since it was an act of betrayal they should be the ones to handle it......both sides have a justification, the fun part is seeing which one manages to stop yelling at the other and actually take the kill.

Vol'jin will kill the Heart of Y'shaarj, promise fulfilled to put an arrow through Garrosh's 'Black Heart' (of Pandaria) and Varian will rightfully get the killing blow on Garrosh. After all the crap he did to the Alliance, it's only fair that the Alliance get the kill.

And I don't wanna hear your whining, Whored scum.

[judgementofantonidas]

So, with the Siege of Orgrimmar quickly approaching, and Garrosh about to be served a delicious helping of justice, I have question for you.

Who do YOU want to see delivering the killing blow to Garrosh Hellscream?

I would personally love to see Varian Wrynn doing the deadly deed. I mean, they are leaders of rival factions, they've been famous enemies since the trailer for 3.1 and Garrosh crushed his son almost to the point of death. I think Thrall is also an appropriate choice, but as a proud Alliance player, I fucking lust for the moment in the closing cinematic when Varian slices and dices Hellscream into a thousand tiny pieces.

Please, for my pleasure, leave your reasons as to why you chose who you did.

should be an alliance npc or player, but then again we should be able to turn Ogrimar into a petting zoo all full of little moo cows and other horde races.

[Drilnos]

75% certain the canon kill will be going to Varian. Both sides are most likely going to have different figures present though.

This is horribly short-sighted.

Garrosh is responsible for leveling Theramore and killing Rhonin in the process as well as permanently changing Jaina, nearly killing Varian's son (he thought he had), he viciously slaughtered Night Elves in Ashenvale, and I'm sure I'm forgetting something else here. The fact is, he is universally despised and trying to discredit an Alliance npc from the killing blow by claiming some sort of favoritism is laughable.

[Deleted]

Varian should finish the job. They are rival and they have fought many times without clear winner.

Could not agree more! The rival leader should def have the final blow!

[Nairobi]

Don't care who kills him. Would like his fathers spirit to appear and pick up Gorehowl and destroy the heart though. That would be epic.

Only way I'd ever forgive Garrosh for this is if Garrosh picks up gorehowl and sacrifices himself to kill the Heart.

Any chance either of these have anything to do with:

Vision of Vol'jin says: And when tha time comes dat ya failure is complete and ya "power" is meaningless, I will be dere to end ya rule swiftly and silently.

Vision of Vol'jin says: Ya will spend ya reign glancin' over ya shoulda and fearin' tha shadows, for when tha time comes and ya blood be slowly drainin' out, ya will know exactly who fired da arrow dat pierced ya black heart.

Probably a bit of a reach seeing as how VolJin said all that long prior to coming to Pandaria, but what if he's speaking about shooting the actual heart of Y'Shaarj, and not Garrosh's actual heart?

Varian, after which he will be sitting on the Warchief's throne, taking a nice pic with every other Alliance leader and leaving a permanent "we have been here, rockin' this place" sign on the ground. :P
