When mortals recall the brutal terror of the Burning Legion's armies, they would likely think first of the doomguard. These ironfisted demons serve as the Burning Legion's captains and generals. Countless worlds have fallen to their brilliant and ruthless military tactics. A doomguard's prowess at commanding large-scale battles does not reduce the demon's hunger for personal combat. In any conflict, a doomguard brings their powerful demonic abilities to where they can do the most damage, viciously slaughtering enemy troops. While most doomguard remain unquestioning and loyal servants to the lords of the Burning Legion (nathrezim and pit lords, among others), some ascend to this tier of command themselves and are among the most powerful demons in the Legion. In fact, most demons that remain in Azeroth after the failure of the second invasion are now under the control of various doomguard lords, ruling from such places as Jaedenar, Mannoroc Coven, and the Tainted Scar.

The fearsome doomguard once served as Archimonde's personal escorts. Although they were often called upon to perform a number of duties for the Legion, their loyalties lay with him alone. The doomguard were left to their own devices after Archimonde's defeat at the World Tree on Mount Hyjal. They now roam the universe serving as mercenaries for whoever will have them. They enjoy wearing large breastplates emblazoned with the symbol of Archimonde despite his defeat. They believe he will one day return to rule them once more. Despite their appearance and disposition, doomguard are sought after for service. These monstrous, fiery warriors are nearly immune to magic and can defeat entire armies with their sheer strength alone.

How could this not be epic? The original ritual litereally KILLED a random member, the went crazy and had to be controlled. How awesome is that?

Wait. Did they change the ritual so people don't die anymore to summon it?

Yea, they did, now it takes like 80% of someones current health to summon it, and remains under your control for 15 miniutes......heck, before i think it was 3.1, when the Cooldown was 1 hour instead of 30 miniutes, my Doomguard has 35k Health, and did 1k dps, all on his own....best of all, i was only level 68 at the time i got him and he was that strong..then he was nerfed....but O how Epic he was, soloing the New DK's entering outlands with ease, he could take on 4 at once i tell you, all by himself...i didn't have to life a finger!!
But yea, Doomguards are epic, the only thing that could be more epic would be 10 doomguards....yea, that can happen

Ahhh i remember when i would go into goldshire and put up the ritual and tell people to click on it for epic loot ahhh good times
