Trash strategy
Watch out for the Ymirjar Berserkers later in the instance after you defeat Skadi. They use the AoE fear, terrify, so burn them down quick & use Tremor totems. Everything else is easy.
Boss 1: Svala
Ranged DPS & AoE makes this easy. Fire resist is slightly useful to mitigate one of her attacks. Stack all characters on the platform to make AoE easy. Tank & DPS her down, then AoE the 3 mobs during the sword drop. You can use ranged DPS to bring her down while she's near the ceiling during the sword drop phases after you kill the 3 mobs.
Boss 2: Gortok
Position ranged DPS along the wall, then it's an easy tank & spank.
Boss 3: Skadi
You'll want Nature Resist & Cleansing Totems for Skadi. The hallway is easy - just run up the right side along the wall to avoid both frost paths, dps down first group, move further up right side to behind where a chain between two posts is near the wall. Park the ranged DPS here and continue taking out mobs & collecting harpoons - you'll need 5. I tanked them close to the casters to help AoE with magma totems & fire nova. Once you've advanced far enough up the hall & have 5 harpoons, tank a couple mobs near the launchers. Once it says Skadi is within range, ignore the mobs & quickly fire off as many harpoons as possible between the right and center launcher. You'll need to alternate between them. I've brought Skadi down quite a few times now by launching all 5 harpoons in one pass, so it's possible. As soon as he hits the ground, aggro him before your healer does. Burn him down quick - Fire Elementals helped a lot. You also need to taunt him when he whirlwinds if he starts moving towards the healer/DPS - Righteous Defense works. This can be a difficult fight to manage aggro and mana for so long without mistakes.
Boss 4: King Ymiron
Shadow Resist & Nature resist are important, with shadow resist a higher priority. Stop DPS for 2 seconds when casts Bane. If you have high shadow resist, you can just heal through it and keep DPS on him. Burn big cooldowns at the beginning and tank & spank. Fire Elementals are great here. Keep tank topped off in health - it helps during the 3x stuns, especially if he's DoT'd. Ymiron does high damage melee attacks, so healers should be keeping him topped off.
