Abilities & Strategy
Overview
Thok alternates between two modes. When initially engaged, he performs Deafening Screech with increasing frequency, dealing heavy raidwide damage. When he detects a clump of seriously injured players, Thok enters a Blood Frenzy, during which he pursues random targets, instantly devouring any players that cross his path. During Blood Frenzy, he moves faster and faster; defeating a Kor'kron Jailer and freeing a prisoner for Thok to devour will empower him but end his Blood Frenzy.

Stage 1: A Cry in the Darkness
Fearsome Roar
Thok's bellowing roar inflicts Physical damage in a frontal cone. The roar incites terror in players' hearts, causing them to take 25% more damage per stack.
Deafening Screech
Upon reaching full energy, Thok lets loose a shrill cry, inflicting Physical damage to all enemies and interrupting spellcasts. Every time Thok Screeches, the rate of his energy regeneration is increased.
Tail Lash
Thok's mighty tail whips about, striking all enemies behind the caster, inflicting Physical damage and stunning them for 2 sec.
Shock Blast
Electricity arcs and snaps around Thok's shock collar, inflicting Nature damage to random enemies.
Bloodied
When players fall beneath 50% health, Thok the Bloodthirsty can smell their blood. If at least half the players in the raid are within 10 yards of one another while Bloodied, the scent of blood becomes overwhelming and Thok enters a Blood Frenzy.
Stage 2: Frenzy for Blood!
The excessive scent of blood sends Thok into a frenzy for blood! In Raid Finder difficulty, this occurs when Thok reaches 80%, 55%, and 30% health.
Blood Frenzy
Thok roars in hunger, knocking away front enemies and going into a frenzy for blood. Any enemies who are caught within reach of Thok's terrible maw are devoured instantly. Thok gradually gains speed during Blood Frenzy. He is also immune to taunt during Blood Frenzy.
Fixate
Thok becomes unable to be tanked, and will fixate on random distant players.
Kor'kron Jailer
Thok's mighty roar when he enters a Blood Frenzy attracts the attention of a nearby jailer. Upon defeating him, you may obtain a prison key that can unlock one of the nearby cells containing Garrosh's prisoners.
Breaking Loose!
Starved Yeti
Captive Cave Bat
Prisoners of War
Garrosh has taken prisoners during his Pandaria campaign, and they remain trapped in cages alongside the beasts, hoping for freedom.
Akolik
Akolik and a band of his Skumblade have been taken captive by Garrosh. Upon being freed, he will invoke the holy order of Kros to subdue a nearby dinosaur. It has... unpredictable results.
An Infusion of Acid
Once Akolik draws Thok's attention, the mighty dinosaur will devour him and absorb the acidic powers of the saurok. This will end Thok's Blood Frenzy.
Waterspeaker Gorai
Waterspeaker Gorai and some denizens of Inkgill Mere have been taken captive by Garrosh. When freed, Waterspeaker Gorai will command his units to aid you, and he will heal the wounds of random players.
An Infusion of Frost
Once Gorai draws Thok's attention, the mighty dinosaur will devour him and absorb the watery powers of the jinyu. This will end Thok's Blood Frenzy.
Warmaster Montak
Warmaster Montak and his firesworn have been taken captive by Garrosh. When freed, nearby units will have their weapons set ablaze, giving them a chance to cause additional Fire damage on successful attacks.
An Infusion of Flame
Once Montak draws Thok's attention, the mighty dinosaur will devour him and absorb the fiery powers of the yaungol. This will end Thok's Blood Frenzy.
