Setup

You need 1 Main Tank, 2 off tanks, 1 Mage with High Stamina or PVP gear, 2 Hunters or 1 Mookin, 1 Warlock, 6-7 healers and the rest mix dps depending your guild setup.

Strategy

The Main Tank takes Maulgar, the high stamina Mage takes the Kross Firehand, the hunters or the Moonkin takes Kiggler the Crazed, and the 2 off tanks the Priest and the Warlock.

The positioning must be done according to the image bellow. Missdirections will help for a correct pull. As you see in the image , the Mage and the Shaman are tanked where they start, but Maulgar and the Warlock+Priest must be tanked away from each other and from their starting position.The fight starts with a firebolt by the mage

Killing order is Priest - Warlock - Shaman - Mage - Maulgar

Time to assign healers… 1 healer to the Mage tank, 1 healer to the Hunters tank, 2 healers to the Main Tank, 1 healer to Priest tank and finally 1 healer to the Warlock. If you have a 7th healer assign him for Raid Healing. When a mini boss is dead, the healers should focus on the Main Tank and the Mage tank.

Tips

- Blindeye the Seer

• As the priest doesn’t hit hard, a DPS warrior is a fine option to tank him
• He’s valnurable to stuns so Rogues must do their best to keep him stunned to avoid healings
• He’s also valnurable to counterspell/silencing shot/Shield bash/Kick/Curse of Tongues and Mind numbing poison

- Olm the Summoner

• Enslave the demons he summons that will help tanking him. They do high damage, they have a taunt ability and a debuff removal Olm puts on some members.

- Kiggler the Crazed

• He can be tanked by 2 hunters or a Moonkin.
• Nature Resistance and/or Arcane Resistance is mitigating his damage .

- Krosh Firehand

• Tanked by a mage with high stamina or PVP gear. He must use spellsteal when Firehand’s shield is up, otherwise he ’s doing 6k damage.
• When it’s time tokill Krosh Firehand, no Arcane Shot must be used by the hunters.

- High King Maulgar

• Tremor totem and Fearward on the Main Tank when his life is under 50%
