Strategy

There are 4 trash packs before Nalorakk that you need to clear. The setup of your 10man Raid should be 2 tanks (preferably one Druid), 3 healers (preferably one Druid for hots), and 5 dps. Nalorakk is tauntable in both forms, so your tanks should taunt him, whenever changes forms. The aggro doesn’t reset, so your dps classes keep doing damage all the time. If taunts are done properly, one tank will have Mangle, and the other one will suffer from bleeding effects. During bear form, Nalorakk silences the party for 2 seconds, that’s why you need a HoTs healer. I haven’t tested it yet, but it could be helpful your holy paladin to have improved Concentration Aura up.

If you can keep your tank during the silence ability, and the tanks taunt Nalorakk on time when he transforms, it’s a pretty easy loot. If you don’t wipe, it’s most likely that you’ll get the chest loot too.

Tips

Paladins: Improved Concentration Aura

Mages: Amplify Magic to everyone

Warriors: if you’re Dwarf, you can Stoneform to avoid bleeding effects
