Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruGuard Mol'dar is one of the three ogre guards of Dire Maul North (Gordok Commons). His fate depends on whether you run for tribute.

Heavy hits
Mol'dar's Moxie
Tactics
- Tribute run. For the reward chest, leave Mol'dar alive (skip/CC past) — the group then gets Mol'dar's Moxie and a better chest after King Gordok.
- Normal clear. If you don't want tribute, kill Mol'dar as a sturdy ogre guard: wall-tank him and heal the tank.
- Heavy hits. Like all Gordok ogres he hits hard in an AoE — stay grouped.
- On x5 the fight itself is easy; it's only a question of run strategy.
