1. Have my team at the botom of the steps and to the right(or left does not matter as long as you start to one side)
2. Tank at top of stairs, aggro one of the small mobs to get forgemaster aggro'd, you could Turn him so he is not facing your team, preferably with your back to the stairs. Though i did not, my problem was with boulders not frost damage.
3. Ignore the mobs until the first time he runs to the forge, when he runs to forge kill the mobs.
4. "Saronite Boulders" if they go at you team just strafe them to the middle, if its the tank just switch sides of the stairs, or strafe a little left of right. Each time he targets your team move them over using strafe, when your over the other side of the stairs, move them forward 10 feet to miss the boulder then strafe them the other way as need be.
5. "Frost Debuff" When he goes back to forge this auto clears, nice and easy.

just by doing the above i managed to clear him on first try with the tactic, after wiping around 5 times trying other things. The key was the strafe movement at the bottom of the stairs, which made this a much easier fight.

Here is a digram of what i'm describing;

You fight him just like i do except I positon my tema as follows:

2 dps one side of the stairs and healr dps other side of the stairs.


I tank him at the top of the stairs buy pulling a skele and laying down consecrate before i even start to dps with my slaves. Aggro is key for me always. Once aggro is established I beat on garfrost til he runs away then I nuke skleles. When garfrost throws a boulder it will either land infront of my slave not knocking him back at all in which case i slide my pointer to my other monitor and move him over so he has los and continue nuking. When the boulder knocks aslave back I will just run him back up the staris so he is in range. chain heal works for all toons the width of the stairs so that is good. The key is to not clump up so one boulder doesnt smash the whole team and to make sure the team isnt los so the debuff goes away. I got the acheve pretty easy for not allowing 10 stacks of the frost on the whole team the second time I did it this way.
