Abilities & Strategy

What the in-game dungeon journal describes for this encounter. Every ability links to its spell page.

Abilities & Strategy

Quake

Rom'ogg Bonecrusher slams the ground, cracking the earth under each player and inflicting Physical damage each second to them for 3 sec. After 3 seconds, each of the ground cracks then ruptures and inflicts Physical damage to all enemy targets of the crack. In Heroic Difficulty, an Angered Earth creature is summoned from each ground crack.

Angered Earth

Angered Earth are summoned from Rom'ogg's Quake ability.

Chains of Woe

At 66% and 33% health remaining, Rom'ogg Bonecrusher summons a mass of chains called the Chains of Woe that pulls each player close to him and immobilizes them. Players must target and destroy the Chains of Woe to free themselves from the immobilize effect. Immediately after Rom'ogg finishes casting Chains of Woe, he begins to use his Skullcracker.

The Skullcracker

After casting Chains of Woe, Rom'ogg begins to use his Skullcracker. This incredibly powerful attack requires a long windup from Rom'ogg. After 12 seconds, Rom'ogg swings and inflicts Physical damage to all enemies. In Heroic difficulty, Rom'ogg will swing after 8 seconds of windup.

Wounding Strike

Rom'ogg Bonecrusher strikes his current target, inflicting 125% of a normal melee attack's damage and reducing the healing dealt to the target by 25% for 6 sec.
