Upper Back Pain (10 player)

For those of you who have never done this raid before but are trying for this achievement at cap level:

Remember that Gormok, the two jormungar, and Icehowl ALL COUNT AS THE SAME BOSS. Gormok, as the first "wave" of the fight, is the one who throws the snobolds at you needed to complete this achievement (not Icehowl, as you might assume from the achievement text). You have to WAIT for Gormok to toss at least two snobolds at you, and then keep those two alive all the way through the jormungar and the yeti phases.

So don't do what I did and burn through everything, thinking Icehowl will throw you snobolds for the achieve. He won't. :)

Easily soloable as level 100. Did it with frost DK 646 ilvl. Single target first boss, when you kill him all the required snobolds fall off him. Keep on single targeting bosses until you get to Icehowl, whack him down as well with single targets and you get the achievement.

Did this the first night it was available on live. All you need to do is keep 2 Snowbolds up throughout the whole encounter(the little creatures that jump on your back and pummel you, they are summoned during Gormok) and then kill Icehowl with the 2 Snowbolds still alive. We managed to get the 2 Snowbolds on the two melee in the group, and it worked out great. You can just postphone killing Gormok until the Snowbolds target the character you wish to have carry one throughout the whole encounter. And, when you get to the Jormungars, it helps if you can Bloodlust on Acidmaw, as the poison can be a pain to cleanse if you are being slowed by a Snowbold.
