[list][*]Rokmar

Ouch. Double ouch. You need serious healing for this fight. The two abilities to worry about:

  • Grievous Wound - killer bleed effect, heal to full to get rid of it
  • Water Spit - killer frost AoE 40 yard range


Keeping the tank topped up seems a lot easier than it actually is using only 1 healer. I had trouble even with both the pally and the priest healing. Rokmar hits hard and the bleed effect ticks for 900 every 2s. Greater heal is 3 seconds and if you get 2 bleed ticks and a melee hit or a water spit you will NOT heal the tank to full. Shield will eat 1 bleed tick and trigger a 1.5s cooldown.

I am going to need a LOT more setup for this fight. Had 2 or 3 attempts but really just learning the fight. Plan:

  • healthstones all around for 1st water spit
  • bubble / taunt for 1st grievous wound
  • circle of healing for 2nd water spit
  • greater heal + circle of healing for 2nd water spit (pot if necessary)
  • prayer of healing for further water spits
  • lay on hands for emergency grievous wound removal


Alternative strategy: hunter pet tank with pally and priest healing

Tough fight. Might need another level for this.

EDIT: Few more attempts on Rokmar. I tried with the pally tanking first as everyone was now level 64 but the priest ran OOM again. I was also experimenting with Circle of Healing instead of Prayer of Healing. I used the hunter's new boar pet next. With the priest doing Greater Heals and the Paladin helping out with Holy Lights I managed to get Rokmar low enough to enrage and couldn't keep the pet up. My priest was killed before the pally could grab aggro. Wipe at 4%. I did another attempt with the pet but it screwed up so I decided to head to Quagmirran first and then come back.

PS: The boar was only level 62 with 5 loyalty.

Final attempt I sent the boar in again only to realize I forgot to switch the priest macros from healing the pally to healing the boar. So the pet died pretty quickly while I was still trying to swap macros so I just taunted with the pally and started tanking. Got him down to enrage and started spamming heals like mad and suddenly he was dead. It seemed way too easy. Not sure exactly why that attempt seemed to work much better as I didn't really change anything. The priest is still the only healer, Greater Heals on tank, Prayer of Healing on group. I think the Pally used a health pot to help out with getting topped up to remove the debuff.
