            The other day my guild tanked Hogger into Stormwind. We had a prot warrior tanking with everyone else just healing, he's so hard. Just past the gates he killed the tank and wiped the whole raid with a knockback that sent people as far away as Redridge. Anyway, Hogger one-shotted every guard and every player. He eventually made his way to Fordragon and epicly pwned him. The Alliance was in chaos for hours before the server crashed. A GM was quite pissed with us. I'm surprised we got off without any real punishment.

I w ouldnt suggest killing him until someone gets blizzard to delete that spell, unless ur sick of the game.

            The Plan.

            1 Druid (for buffs & hots)
            1 Priest
            1 warlock
            2 rouges
            1 prot paladin /warrior
            3 mages.


            All these chars need to have at least teir 2 if not tier 3. Other wise they will be OOM with in seconds of the fight. Buffs up & make SS for priest. Tank better be prot ur ur all guna die.

            Phase 1;

            Hav the tank charge in and slunder or try and keep aggro much as possible. After 3 slunder you can do dmage it it. But dont over aggro, if you over aggro you lose 50 dkp coz u didnt know wtf to do! and watch the tail! If you get kicked into the mobs you lose 50dkp for not being there ur spose to be. There is no aggro reset, only way you use aggro if by useing ur aggro lessend abiltys. Get him down as fast as possible. Do NOT over dps.

            Phase2;

            Slow dps right dowqn, keep tank hold of aggro while casters (warloks pref) slowly eat away at his hp. Make ur ur got mana pots at the ready for the phase 3:

            Phase3 (25% left)
            Ok here you wna all out nuke him. Be carful of not loseing aggro but wat eva the funk u do dont stand next to other people. Have rogues works there blades hard as possible. Have dots up every time, 2 rows, shadow waord pain, cures, rend..lots of dots. At 5% you will stop dots and do direct damage, shadow bolt, frost bolt, wrath, mindblast, execute, hammer of wrath, anything to bring him down has hard as possible.


            Loot: If your lucky u should get some spring water and about 40 copper, roll on the water and gratz to the lucky guy who wins it.

            I hope this helps guilds to bring down Hogger.

              Even with your guide, we had 2 40-man raids (lvl 80s with tier 12 gear) there and only brought him down to 64%.  When he got to 70% he summoned the boars and most of our healers went down.  Then he uber pwned us with his paw.  One of these days we are going to get that Huge Gnoll Paw...As for the water, that sweet succulent spring water, I'll keep grinding till I get it.

Me, 70 priest, and a gm war took him down a while ago, gm could keep agro good being lvl 255, so I could spam heals, while we kited him 2 stormwind, but at the gate his knock back 1 hit the gm and we wiped. rezed to see the sw like a ghost town. Found hogger as he killed Highlord Bolvar, he was at 84%. Died a second later, aparently some other retards kited lord kazzak there and killed us. rezed and kazzak was dead, and hogger was killing the last of some 40 man horde raid. he was at about 3% and we were able 2 finish him off, he only hit about 50k through gm's god mode sheald.

                Wow.  I laughed at all of these comments, and just for fun, told all 78 members of my guild to log on tonight to go find him.  After epically slaying every alliance on the way, I saw him.  Looked like a light-weight enemy.  I laughed and decided I'd let my new mage attack him.  As soon as my mage started a'chargin' his fireball, Hogger charged him and hit him so hard, he was kicked out of my guild.  I was astonished.  I began to spam heal our MT.  He told me that he received the message, "Hogger ignores your taunt, knowing he is superior".  I suppose that was his way of saying he's Taunt Resistant. 

                Anyway, a few minutes later and 60 guild members less, it was myself, several locks and our bear-tank.  Hogger suddenly disarmed the bear's claws, feared the locks so hard, they're still unable to control their characters, and suddenly, he looked at me and laughed.  He pointed, snapped his fingers, and I was disconnected.

                As I typed my login information in, I connected.  To my amazement, my character was gone.  I tried again the next day, no luck.  I logged in with an alt and put in a ticket to the GM's, saying that my character was erased.  When the GM got to me he said, "No Kurtis, he wasn't deleted.  Hogger killed him."  Apparently there's nothing Blizzard can do.

                I was in goldshire when the halloween festival thing was about on my lvl 70 warrior, waiting for the headless horseman to arrive when somone yelled "Need help with quest to kill hogger!!111!" So being bored i headed on over there, only to find 2 40 man raids trying to take him down. Then we heard the horse man yell and with much much difficulty they kited him to goldshire in time for the horsemans attack.

                Huge mistake.

                He took down the horse man with one hit and everyone cheered until he did some ultra powerfull AOE called 'Rain of Hogger'
                wich caused thousands of gnolls to fall from the sky and explode causing 465k instant damage and leaving a debuff on through death called 'hoggers bitch' which reduces all stats by 60% and lasts one year of game play hours. So i ran back to goldshire in ghost form only to find that hogger had burned down the buildings himself. I whispered to as many people as possible to tell them to all res at the same time to try and take him by surprise. We resed and he imediatly charged straight at me, i had 12 healers on me alone and aswell as hundreds of others attacking him we managed to get him down to 94%. Then he did a knockback that landed me in undercity and caused me to explode on impact. It was so intence that i turned to my sister who was watching, only to find that her eyes had popped and half her faced had melted off. The next day, after burrying my sister, i found both my gradparents dead in my front yard, with paw marks all down their bodies.

                Hogger is not to be underestimated.

                  I'm not sure how this happened, but I'm going to tell everyone the story of the time I soloed Hogger.

                  I was running my 13 Pally around the forest's edge. It was dark, and I had mistaken some gnoll campfires for the lights of Goldshire. Now, your average gnoll is nothing serious for a 13, so I was enjoying some light hearted killing.

                  That's when I heard his cackle. Suddenly, all noise ceased. It was like the forest and all of its denizens had taken a breath and held it. Such was the silence, I could hear my armor loosing durability.

                  Suddenly, a tree next to me exploded, and there stood Hogger. I had heard all the stories, but I thought there was no way he could be this far North. How wrong I was.

                  I tried to run, I tried to use my Blessings, but my hands were sweating and I was numb with fear. There was a keyboard under my fingers, that much I remember, but at the time, my brain was too tied up in wetting itself to work my fingers.

                  Then.. somehow.. I locked on to him and attacked. One swing. 1 point of damage... and he fell over dead. I got so much experience from that kill that I was suddenly a level 68 pally. I bent down to loot him, and was instantly out of room in my inventory. Dozens of blue items, epics, entire sets...

                  Thats when I saw the other bodies. Hundreds of them. There was so much awesome gear that it could have only been one of the legendary Hogger raids. I couldn't move without falling over the slowly cooling body of a level 70 warrior or wizard.

                  Truly, it must have been an epic battle, and I had the dumb luck to land the final blow.

"ya ok" i said, to see "DUDE IM NOT JOKING YOU NUMNUTS COME HERE AND SEE FOR YOURSELF!" so i say fine w/e and i hearth, port to stormwind only to see hundred of people mounting up outside and running towards westfall. so i slap on my riding crop, mithril spurs, and carrot to get there quick only to find myself lagging out BADLY! when i pull up i see a crowd north of where hogger normally is, the crowd numbered in thousands of alliance and horde alike, but noone was attacking anyone.

                Then i see it.. the corpse of Hogger! >.< It turns out some honest to goodness noob, lvl 13 gnome warlock had just killed hogger. i know right? unbelievable. so what had happened was the lock aparently was taken into questioning by a Senior GM and some members of the blizzard programming staff, they found in his possesion a refreshing spring water, which they immediately deleted from his bags knowing he obviously cheated somehow.

                Anyways this "gnome" was questioned for about 2 hours before they realized the owner of the account was Chuck Norris. they immediately let him go, apologized, asking him very politely not to use his godly powers in the presence of other players anymore, and offered him his own live server in which he could be a GM, he turned them down and still wanders elwynn forest looking for the corpse of hogger to eat, and take his loot back from.

                100% true story.

                For any lvl 70s who are planing to solo him, here's a strategy:

                First make sure that you bring lots of potions, make lots of bandages, written a will, and tell your family that they may never see you again.

                Next, run to his area.

                Then when you see him, after the fabric of reality becomes torn apart and you begin to question everything you have ever known, push alt+F4, log onto the WoW website, cancel your account, and pray he doesn't know where you live.

                Here is a screenshot of him I took before he killed me and the 4 raid parties that gathered to kill him.

                Well, Hogger is the hardest boss ever.
                Ok, I give some tactics:

                Hogger

                Health: 15 million
                Enrages in 3 minutes

                Abilities:

                * Basic Melee. Hits for around 7000 damage on plate.
                * Hateful strike. Deals about 13k damage on plate.
                * Pierce Armor. Reduces Armor by 75%. This means you have to rotate tanks. It lasts 30 seconds, and is used every 15 seconds. Also wipes main target's aggro.
                * Head Butt. Stuns for 6 seconds. Wipes aggro for 6 seconds.
                * Spell reflect. Reflects all spells back to caster.
                * Charge. Charges on random player, causing 5000 damage, and leaving bleed-debuff on target. It will deal 3000 damage every second. Also has very powerful knockback.
                * Soul charge. Everytime when player dies, he will gain soul charge. This will stack, and can be used to:
                - Do 8000 fire damage on whole raid, and stunning them.
                - Do 8000 frost damage on whole raid, and freezing them.
                - Do 8000 shadow damage on whole raid, and fearing them.
                * Shear. Reduces health of main target by 75%. Must be shield blocked.
                * Greater heal. Heals Hogger to full, has cast time of five seconds. Before greater heal, he will put shield on himself, making him invulnerable. You have to do 100000 damage to break the shield. Heal can be interrupted after shield is broken.
                * Summon Gnolls. Every 20 seconds, he will summon 5 gnolls that must be AoE-tanked and AoE:d down.
                * Enrage. Used after 3 minutes. Begins to hit about 200k. Wipe.
                * Soft enrage. Used when under 20%. Increases melee damage to about 9k.

                I suggest to try him after you have farmed Kil'Jaeden for a while.

                Blizz has announced that in the 2.4 patch, Hogger will then be able to summon Archimonde, Illidan, and Lady Vashj to his side.

                Details are sketchy, but reports say that this made Chuck Norris cry.

                As of 2.4 they increased his total health, armor, damage, crit chance, and gave him an AoE arcane attack.  This is absolutely impossible without a premade 25 man raid.  Any PuG's and you are screwed.  This is how I was able to somehow miraculously do it.

                5 Warlocks...
                3 Prot Warrios...
                2 Prot Pallys...
                7 Mages...
                8 Healers...

                Step 1>  First off you need to buff up, share quests, be Black Temple attuned, and buy any food that adds +stam if you are a tank or off tank.  Make sure you all freshly buff up before fighting.  The next step will require not only luck and skill, but proper timing.

                Step 2>  From the wanted poster is where you want to start.  Take out all the trash,  because just like ST, if you don't take them ALL out then they attack you when you attack Hogger. I found that taking them out 2-3 at a time was the best way to do it, any more and then you will be at risk of wiping.

                Step 3>  Now that all the trash mob is gone, you can start focusing on Hogger himself.  Calm your breathing, this can be very traumatic.  Send in all tanks at once, be sure that the warriors stack sunder, if anyone but the tanks engage Hogger before there is full sunder, then you're going to get skull-f*cked.  You definitely want your healers to be paladins with somewhere around +2000 healing.

                Step 4>  Start off DPSing very slowly, and when I say slow I mean f*cking slow!  Once he gets to 80%, which is about 20-30 minutes in, he preforms AoE, so you want to move all your tanks out of his AoE range (30 yards) and leave one behind to be the victum of his 130k Arcane Explosion.  Be sure to have SS on the sacrificing OT, or else your not going to be able to last.

                Step 5>  After AoEing that OT, at 70% he tries to heal himself, DO NOT LET HIM HEAL HIMSELF!  Only when he is healing is he susceptible to fear, stun, and disorient effects.  Try to Stun him with any stun moves you have and use those precious seconds to unload DPS like there is no tomorrow.  Also, healers and mages should re-buff everyone.

                Step 6>  This is the real ball-buster that requires that skill I was talking about earlier.  After failing to heal himself he will eventually give up, and return to normality.  This is when you want to start kiting him with the 5 warlocks.  Make circles around any nearby tree, being sure to keep him more than 180 degrees behind you, or he could go the other way and attack you from behind, daze you, and rape your face in.  Repeat this with each of the warlocks until they are OOM.  I recommend kiting because during this time he has a buff that adds 10% to his crit chance and doubles his attack speed, which can own any tank.

                Step 7>  If you haven't wiped in the following 2 hours and 30 minutes then congratulate yourself.  By now he is at 50% health, and the worst part is over.  Now just keep on fighting like you always do.

                Step 8>  At 20%, he will stun all party members and call upon a Murlock who will come in and fight beside him, both of the OTs and 2 of the Healers with 1 mage go off and fight him, he is easily 5 manned.  During this time, Hogger and the Murlock will share thier damage, meaning if you hit him for 1000, they will each take 500 damage only.  When the murlock dies, Hogger receives a buff that reduces his damage dealt by 25% and his armor reduced by 50%, this is a huge chance that you MUST seize. This buff only lasts 2 minutes, but during this time you must be sure that he doesn't draw aggro to your DPSers.

                Step 9>  You should have him around 5% now, which means he is near death.  Nothing special happens now, but he will try and heal himself every minute, just as before he becomes a target for stun, fear, and disorient effects during the 3 second cast time.  When he hits 1%, get anyone within 20 yards away from him and stun him.  Then unload DPS with mages and warlocks.  Pallys can use Holy Shock and Hammer of Wrath if they have enough mana.  When he dies, if you can kill him, his blood will spurt everywhere dealing 2% of base health over 90 seconds to anyone within that 20 yard radias.  This debuff cannot be disbuffed.  You can heal it off but the chances of ANYONE having enough mana to make up for it is 0.

                The Aftermath:
                Well, congratulations!  You downed Hogger!  It probably took you 7-10 days of preparation, 4 complete wipes, and over 230g in repairs, but you did it!  Loot the 12 copper, and roll on the Water and Linen, grats to whoever get the Cadet Boots!

                Guys, it's true. Hogger is no longer killable. With the recent patch, Blizz has decided to give him an aggro range of 2 miles. As soon as you step outside of Stormwind, he shoots you, doing a oneshot kill.

                Then he finds your girlfriend and makes her break up with you. He then impregnates her, and then dumps her, making her take both you and hogger on the Maury show to see who's the baby's daddy.

                Ok, my guild just downed him today after we killed M'uru.

                Phase 1
                Ok, Hogger has a 500yd aggro radius so dont get too close to him. Once your ready send the tank in straight away (recommended no less than tier 6 gear). Phase 1 really is tank and spank, but watch out for the gnoll adds he lets leash around him. They go straight for the healers so assign a mage or a hunter to kill them while the rest of the DPS slowly builds up on Hogger. At about 80% hp Hogger levitates into the air and spawns Illidan, Sargeras and The Lich King. A warlock could probably solo them. Once all three mini bosses are defeated, Phase 2 begins.

                Abilities in phase 1:

                ~200K HP
                Melee attacks that hit for ~2K on a plate-wearer.
                Shadow Bolt Volley: Deals 850 to 1150 shadow damage to all raid members within 30 yards, and places a stackable debuff that increases all shadow damage taken by 750.
                Gnoll Portal: Opens a portal that periodically causes gnolls to spawn; these dudes will run towards nearby raid members and attack them using aoe, dealing significant damage to all nearby characters. The imps have extremely low health, and can be killed with a single instant cast spell (Ice Lance, Shadowburn, Shadow Word: Death); however, dying causes them to explode.

                Phase 2
                Ok Hoggers at about 75% hp now, well done for getting this far. More of the same except hogger will cast fireballs to random raid members which hit for 10k. Make sure the tank has aggro and instantly heal those affected by the sick fireballs.
                Once hes at 50%hp he yet again levitates into the air and summons Chuck Norris. This time Chuck Norris spawns, this is where most raids wipe. Chuck Norris abilities: Roundhouse Kick: Instantly deals 10k damage to all humanoids within 50 yards. Beard Fist: Instantly hits the tank for about 5k damage. When chuck Norris is at 99% which takes about 30 minutes to do, he roundhouse kicks everyone this time with added knockback eeffect, laughs and runs away.

                Phase 3
                At this point, Hogger gains several new abilities:

                Duplicate: Instantly duplicates a random party member, and has him/her attack the raid. Each attack that hits the duplicated member will also deal damage to the real member, so its probably best to keep him alive. Fear effects will have no bearance on the real member, so keep the duplicated member feared.
                The Can Can: Hoger bursts into a moulin Rouge style dance, instantly attacking the tank with huge knockback effects (30 - 40yds). It is vital to stand next to something solid like a tree.
                Once you have Hogger at about 10% he bubbles and instantly heals himself. He then hearths. While hearthing he drops a chest with your rewards, usually a crappy grey or green.

                Congratulations! You've (sorta) defeated Hogger!

                Accually in the latest pach they changed hogger!!!

                Changes:

                -0.00001% health (like 100000k health)

                HE now also has an aoe fear that fears everybody in azeroth for 92h and increases damage taken by 900%.

                Oh and hoggers HS goes to Gamons wifes house in northrend (his old girlfriend)

                The last change is the knockback goes all the way to nagrand now and deletes every character within 50000yards of where you might land.

                These changes has made hogger loads eyser to kill so just gather like a 200man raid group and head on :D

                OK I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF EVERYONE COMPLAINING ABOUT HOGGER, IM A LEVEL 19 DWARF HUNTER AND I SOLOED HIM EASALY  AND HERE ARE MY INSTRUCTIONS : 

                if your a hunter you can do this
                 
                First. make your pet attack him

                Second. start shooting him. Use arcane shot, serpent sting, distracting shot, anything you have

                Third. just keep attacking him, if your pet dies and he attacks you then use raptor strike as much as possible and you should be able to do this easy.  :):):):)

                I really hope this helps
