Grim Batol (Heroic)

by Whitelight



    General Umbriss

  • A Malignant Trogg will spawn, which is purple and glowy. You can CC it permanently. Alternatively, burn it down (away from the boss) along with each new one that spawns.
  • Spread out and avoid the front of the boss.
  • Dodge his charge (Blitz) and avoid his shockwave (Ground Siege).
  • Top off the tank to remove the bleed effect.


    Forgemaster Throngus

  • This boss has a fantastic name.
  • When afflicted with the casting debuff, casters will remove it by casting 3 spells, which can be fast or instant-cast.
  • SWORDS - Use tanking and healing cooldowns. Disarm the boss if possible.
  • MACE - The boss is slowed. The tank kites him.
  • SHIELD - Stay behind the boss.


    Drahga Shadowburner

  • A fire elemental spawns. If it targets you, run away. Kill it and don't let it reach its target. It can also be slowed and stunned.
  • The dragon has an enormously wide flame breath: Devouring Flames. When you see the warning, get directly behind the boss.
  • The boss should be tanked near the middle of the room.


    Erudax

  • When he casts Shadow Gale (swirly purple craziness), find the "eye of the storm" and stand there. Sometimes this is under his feet and hard to see; other times it's halfway across the room.
  • Tank the boss mostly in the center of the room so you'll be knocked back toward the entrance.
  • Adds will spawn from the entrance. They must be slowed and and burned down simultaneously before they reach the eggs.
  • The hardest mechanic of this fight is actually Binding Shadows, a life steal that is completely avoidable. Strafe out of it when the cast starts, or you will be rooted and will heal the boss significantly.
