Learning Northrend Beats Heroic

Northrend Beasts has been a real challenge.

Gormok

• We use a 2 tank rotation.
• We DPS all Snobolds immediately
• Isisnile tanks first up to 3 stacks
• I tank going to 4 stacks. In the last 20 seconds I pop both Heart of Iron and Eltrigg's Oath
• Isis tanks up to 4 stacks while I am healed through my 4 stack bleed. Isis gets a Guardian Spirit or a Bubble/Sacrifice moving into the 4th stack.
• Isis bubble cleanses the 4 stack bleed and I get a Pain Suppression as I'm taking over. I pop Survival Instincts and Barkskin moving into 3 stacks, which is about when he usually dies.

Worms

We've been bloodlusting on the first worm, Acidmaw. Our goal is to burn down Acidmaw before the 2nd submerge.

There's a lot of sources of death on worms. The most common are:

• Melee engaging before a tank has aggro on the worm
• People getting knocked into poison clouds
• Ranged standing too close to each other for burning bile.

Icehowl

Generally speaking the feeling in the guild is if we can get an attempt with 25 people standing gonig into the Icehowl phase, he'll die. So far the best we've had is 24 people standing and we wiped at 1%. The whole Icehowl phase is very straightforward we just need to work on Jormungers more.

That said, we use Frost Aura, we spread healers out, we use Shattering Throw on the second stun combined with speed potions at that time.
