General Nazgrim
Official Overview (Blizzard)
General Nazgrim is a powerful warrior who builds Rage by damaging players with various abilities, and periodically spends that Rage to unleash powerful attacks. Throughout the encounter, mixed groups of three Kor'kron troops at a time stream in to assist their General.
Damage Dealers
• Defeat Kor'kron Forces quickly so as not to get overwhelmed. • Interrupt Kor'kron Arcweavers' and Warshaman's spellcasts. • Quickly destroy Nazgrim's Kor'kron Banner and Warshaman's Healing Tide Totem when they are placed. • Directly attacking Nazgrim when he is in Defensive Stance will cause him to generate Rage rapidly.
Healers
• If General Nazgrim has between 75 and 99 Rage when Cooling Off ends, his War Song will deal heavy damage to the entire raid. • Kor'kron Assassins fixate on a non-tank target and deal heavy damage to their prey.
Tanks
• Trade off tanking Nazgrim to allow Sundering Blow to fade, or Nazgrim will gain large amounts of Rage. • Keep Kor'kron Warshaman far away from Nazgrim, or they may heal him significantly.
