[How to] Black War Bear

Black War Bear - For the Alliance/Horde Achievements.

The achievement is to slay the leaders of the Horde or Alliance. As I am alliance this will be mostly for the benefit of Alliance characters, but I will try to help the Horde too.

Requirements. You will want either a large, mainly level 80 guild, or a level 77+ Pug with several naxx/Malygos geared characters. Have at least 3 tanks and at the very least 5-6 healers. Also try to have several shadow priests for increased mana and health regeneration.

You will need to, as alliance, go after Thrall or Sylvanas first. As Horde, go for Wyrnn or Magni first. The reasoning behind this is that the Horde/Alliance will gang up against you on these bosses if you do not kill them quickly.


1. You will want to go in a back way if you can - for example, Undercity has the sewers, and Stormwind has the Harbor. First, Get in the Boss chamber and have your first 4 groups set up with AoE to kill the guards and any enemy players present.

Have groups 5-6 filled with your tanks and healers. Also throw in a Warlock or two with the imp for Blood Pact for increased health.

Groups 7 and 8 will need to be focus fire damage such as warriors and rogues, along with any other classes with group-wide buffs.

2. Once the guards are out of the way, focus fire the boss down while having group 1 continue AoE for the enemy players and guards that constantly show up. Presently the boss should die.

3. Never use the tram for Ironforge to SW or vice versa or the Zeppelin to Undercity to Orgrimmar or vice versa. The players will expect this and block you immediately!
Choose a completely random city to go to after your current one besides the one closest to you.

4. Rinse and repeat.

Tips: On Thrall have a separate tank and a rogue for Vol'Jin, as he polymorphs several people at a time and heals thrall.
On Sylvanas use a macro to target her every time she uses her blink ability, otherwise the fight will drag out too long and Horde will crush you.

Immediately after killing the last boss a mail will be sent containing the Bear from either Thrall or Wyrnn.

Happy Hunting!

well , tbh, get 2 tanks(lvl 80) get the rest, wtf lvl 77+? lol , get level 70+ they'll do fine
Start of with IF, then go to the tram over to SW , next you want to take the boat to darna and afterwards you go to dunno what that draeinei shitplace is called.
Im drunk atm so lol

kill the guards before you engage each of the bosses.

Simple you need 1h max for it, just spam LFM [For the Horde!] , since im horde thats the only thing i can post so far, ist a gank and spank rly, nothing that really needs a guide, srsly.

I don't care if you don't like what I've posted bud. I posted to help people with a basic guide of the way I've done this. Just because you may do it differently doesn't mean I'm a jackass who doesn't know anything. Find someone else to insult.

I liked it, were some nice tips I didn't know off yet

I would NOT sugguest starting with a city like Orgimmar/Stormwind/Ironforge as these will be packed with ppl of the other faction. PVP is a pain while doing these achivments and after one or two wipes ppl will start leaving. So allways pick those last cause then you atleast have 3/4 done if the raid would get disbanded.

and oh you forgot to mention that at some citys there are alternative entrys that make it alot easyer

Exactly, I started my raids every time with Darnassus, followed by Exodus, then IF and then we took Metro to SW. 100% Success chance.

ye. of you start in a small city- it will luer the other faction OUT

other than that-- nice guide +2rep

[Zeraux]

The strat that i used (and worked flawlessly) is:

Melees watch out for allies and kills them. This is mostly because we were at Stormwin boss and he has Whirlwind, but we used this in every city.
Ranged DPS's boss.

[AK40]

Yeah, when you're doing SW, pull boss to the first room on right, melees stay in the passage and casters kill boss, then mages makes portals and everyone teleports... EZM

It's not always 100%, what if your group sucks =D


Well to get my bear I went to SilverMoon, Undercity, Orgrimmar then Thunder Bluff (Undercity has a zeppelin)
