Heroic Blackrock Caverns Guide

Heroic Blackrock Caverns guide to bosses:

The first ability you’ll probably see him cast is an AoE ability called “Quake”. Everyone in your party will have a dust cloud under their feet, and will take roughly 9000 damage a second on heroic if you don’t move out of the cloud.

After the cast is finished, a total of 5 adds will spawn from the clouds (these still spawn even if you move out of the quake.) The adds will melee your tank for about 10k, so with 5 adds and the boss, your tank will need loads of healing. Even though you can kill the adds now, it’s easier to wait and take care of them with a later mechanic (Chains of Woe – Skullcracker).

To make the tank damage even worse, the boss will randomly do a “Mortal Strike” which will reduce the healing your tank receives by 25%. Because of this, you will want to use a defensive cooldown when the adds are up or your tank will get destroyed.
