Abilities & Strategy
Overview
Garrosh calls in Kor'kron soldiers, while Siege Engineers try to activate Iron Stars that crush players and orcs in their path. When Garrosh reaches 10% health, he draws upon the Heart to heal himself. Garrosh periodically pulls all players into the Realm of Y'Shaarj, where they must interrupt his efforts to draw power from the Heart. When reaching 10% health a second time, Garrosh fully drains the heart, empowering all his abilities until his defeat.
Damage Dealers
- During the initial phase, interrupt Far Seers' casts and kill at least one Siege Engineer per wave.
- In the realm of Y'Shaarj, defeat all Sha manifestations to prevent Garrosh from gaining energy.
- Damage afflicted players to break the Touch of Y'Shaarj, and interrupt them to prevent the affliction from spreading.
- Once Garrosh reaches 25 energy, Empowered Whirling Corruption spawns Minions of Y'Shaarj that gain great power if killed near each other.
Healers
- During the initial phase, Exploding Iron Stars deal heavy raidwide damage that decreases with distance from the impact point.
- Once Garrosh's shield in the Realm of Y'Shaarj is broken, his Annihilate will deal heavy raidwide damage.
- Whirling Corruption deals heavy raidwide damage that decreases the farther a target is from Garrosh.
Tanks
- During the initial phase, Garrosh will use Hellscream's Warsong to significantly increase the damage output of his Kor'kron minions.
- After leaving the Realm of Y'Shaarj, Garrosh's attacks will inflict Gripping Despair, which increases in damage with each application.
- Once Empowered, Whirling Corruption spawns Minions of Y'Shaarj that gain great power if killed near each other.
