Beasts of Northrend (10 Player)

[Luskan]

Gormok the Impaler:

A simple tank and spank but can hit the tank hard. You'll need 2 tanks to trade taunt when the Impale bleed stacks too high, say every 3-4 of them. He is also disarmable, which prevents impale. Hand of Protection also removes the debuff.

If you don't have to be in melee, stay 15+ yards away. He has that stomp that can interrupt your cast and damage you, so stay out if you can.

There are Snobol Vassals that spawn, they don't hit for much but can interrupt your casters. They throw Fire Bombs which just leaves patches of fire to get out of. They are more likely to focus on ranged, prob global aggro but occasionally hang out in the melee. All your ranged dps should burn them down ASAP.

At the end of the fight, don't stop healing the tanks, they probably still got bleeds as you head into the next fight (starts right away).



Acidmaw and Dreadscale:



The start of the fight has Dreadscale coming out on the right side, while Acidmaw comes out from the ground on the left side. Acidmaw will be rooted to the ground for now. The 2 will occasionally burrow under the ground and reset aggro and swap roles, i.e. Acidmaw becomes movable, while Dreadscale is rooted, and vice versa.

The one that's rooted will be casting spells fast and will also occasionally Sweep the melee knocking them away. A ranged tank can tank him at this point, but a proper melee tank is prob still good and just soak the damage. The one that's movable will be dropping Slime Pools, ala Grobbulus style, though not as often. Just move as it occurs.

Acidmaw, will be launching Paralytic Spray, it's a green ball of slime that goes up and splashes on to the ground. Whoever's hit will be afflicted by Paralytic Poison. They will eventually slow down to a halt, we decided to have those move to the middle.

Dreadscale will be doing Burning Spray to his target, which is also a fire aoe splash that gives people the Burning Bile debuff. That will cause the player to do fire damage to everyone around him. Have to spread out to avoid hitting everyone in raid. But the fire damage also cleanses the Paralytic Poison, so that guy has to weave around the raid cleansing those people.

What we wound up doing was assign 1-2 people to stand with the Dreadscale tank, take the Burning Bile debuff. Then go around cleansing the raid. Though they should all be around the center, but guess that might not always happen.

That's pretty much it to the fight. Recommended you kill Acidmaw before Dreadscale but it's not neccessary. The only thing to cure the Poison is the Burning Bile, so if you run out of Bile, you may be screwed on poison for the next fight. Well, heal them and wait for debuff to wear off, and hope it's not a tank that's poison if you do that.

Also, one will enrage when the other dies. So killing them close together probably most ideal. But itt's not a lethal enrage, just zerg it how you feel like.




Icehowl:


Tank and spank for the most part. He does an Arctic Breath, so spread out around so he doesn't freeze the entire raid in one go. He'll occasionally knockback the melee, so don't be there unless you have to.

Now the fun trick to the fight is that he'll occasionally jump to the center, then slams everyone to the back wall stunning us. He will then choose a target, watch raid warnings, jump to the opposite side, and charge his target. The stun at this point will wear off and you'll get increased run speed.

Now, if he hits you, and anyone in the path, you'll probably die, unless saved by CDs, and go into an enrage, which will start 1-2 shotting tanks unless CDs or a timely Tranq shot saves him. But, if you take those few seconds and move out of the way so he hits nothing but wall, SMACK, he gets stunned for a while, no enrage.

That's all he does. Heal through any damage. Strafe to the side everytime he targets you (or anyone near you) and yell ole! Kill kill and repeat.

- Good luck, and sorry for the cram.
