Northrend Beasts
Gormak
Gormak is a giant magnataur that represents the first of the mighty Beasts of Northrend. He is a relatively simple fight with only 2 main abilities.
Gormak the Impaler
Impale – This attack hits the tank for 150% of normal weapon damage and inflicts a bleed DOT debuff. The bleed DOT can stack and inflicts roughly 4,000 damage every 2 seconds for 30 seconds. Gormak uses this attack every 10 seconds.
Staggering Stomp – Gormak’s other major ability is a stomp that hits everyone within 15 yards for roughly 12,000 damage (8,000 in 10 player raids) and disables spell casts for 8 seconds.
Snobolds – These vicious little beasts ride around on the back of Gormak throwing fire pots at the players. They are also thrown at the players themselves by Gormak.
Acidmaw and Dreadscale
The second wave in the encounter is a pair of vile jormungars called Acidmaw and Dreadscale. This part of the encounter is a coordination test as you need to work together to bypass the two different poisons that they apply.
Acidmaw's Abilities
Paralytic Bite – This attack hits the main tank for roughly 14,000 damage (10,000 in 10 player raids) and applies a paralytic poison debuff. The poison stays on a player and slows them down over time until they are stationary. The effect is removed by suffering damage.
Paralytic Poison – Acidmaw sprays poison at everything in his front arc, inflicting roughly 10,000 damage and applying a paralytic poison. It is the same debuff as applied to the tank above.
Poison Gas – Acidmaw drops poison gas clouds under him that stay in place and grow over time. Anyone in a cloud will suffer roughly 5,000 nature damage per second.
Dreadscale's Abilities
Dreadscale
Burning Bite – This attack hits the main attack for roughly 12,000 fire damage (10,000 in 10 player raids) and applies a burning poison. The burning bile poison deals fire damage over time at roughly 5,000 damage per second for 10 seconds. Anyone within 10 yards of a player effected by burning bile will also suffer the damage.
Burning Bile – Dreadscale can also spray his burning bile at players, this attack hits everyone in his front arc for roughly 9,000 fire damage and applies the burning bile debuff described above.
Fire Spit – This attack can reach anyone in the room and hits for roughly 10,000 fire damage.
Molten Breath – Dreadscale also has a fire based breath attack that hits everyone in his front arc for roughly 4,000 fire damage per second.
