The pull

Raid gathers up, tank goes in and grabs the boss. Nothing special to it.

Positions and strategy

This is a boss in an instance that is regulary run by hastily cobbled together PvP raiders, not to mention the boss drops mostly PvP loot as well. This means that the boss has been tweaked to fit this category of players. Thats far too many words for: He's a total pushover.

He has only one real trick you have to prepare for and thats Impale, which will pick up the tank with the highest aggro and carry him around for a bit before dropping him again (damage taken during this, of course). To counter this you bring one more tank to OT him. Thats it.

No, really, thats it. His Rock Shards and Choking cloud abilities are just of the plain old "get outta bad shit" variety, and hardly even needs mentioning. As long as you got a functioning keyboard it shouldnt be hard to just run outta em when they hit.

This boss's most prominent feature is his shitloads of HP, making him boring to fight.

Normal Difficulty

No change... 'Cept he's even more of a wimp.
