Review

Beasts of Northrend is the first encounter in ToS/ToGK, consisting of three consecutive battles (4 bosses in total). Gormok Tusk comes out first, after his death - a pair of jormungars Acidmaw and Dreadscale, then the yeti Icehowl. The battle goes on without exiting combat mode, so between phases the raid only has time to raise HP and mana. All three parts take place in the center of the Colosseum arena.

General tips
  • Between phases you don’t leave the battle - raise your HP/mana and buff yourself on the go until the next boss comes out.
  • You need 2 tanks for the entire encounter. Stay spread throughout the arena - this reduces damage from fire on Gormok, Searing Bile on worms, and Arctic Breath on Frostroar.
  • On hardmode (ToGK) there are no new abilities - bosses have more HP/damage, and they appear strictly on a timer: worms ~150 sec, Ice Roar ~350 sec from the pool, regardless of whether you finished off the previous one.

Combat phases

Phase 1 Phase 1 - Gormok the Tusk Piercer Encounter start

Tankspank Magnataur. Tanks change by stackPiercings, miles hit in the leg, range and heals stand at ~20 yards. The main thing is to shoot downsnoboldov and don't stand in the fire.

  • Impale (tank exchange buff)
  • Snobold Vassals
  • Fire Puddles
  • Deafening stomp
Phase 2 Phase 2 - Acid Maw and Dreadscale After Gormok's death

Two Jormungars at the same time. One is mobile, the other is landline; periodically burrow and change roles. Each tank holds its own, with its back to the raid. Debuff Bunch: Poison (Paralytic Toxin)Can only be removed by a player with fire (Searing Bile). We beat the Acid Maw first, but try to match them by HP - when one dies, the second one enters therage (+50% damage).

  • Paralytic Toxin ↔ Burning bile (mutual withdrawal)
  • Puddles of slime (mobile worm kite)
  • Rage upon the death of one of the worms
  • Changing roles when burying
Phase 3 Phase 3 - Frost Roar After the death of both Jormungars

The Yeti is placed in the center, the raid spreads out in a circle. Main mechanics -Crushing Collapse: throws everyone to the walls and stuns, then the boss charges at a random target. Everyone on the way must run away - if Rev crashes into a wall, he is stunned for 15 seconds and receives +100% damage; if it hooks a player -rage.

  • Crushing Collapse + charge (soak/run)
  • Window +100% damage on charge misses
  • Arctic Breath (spread)
  • Foaming Fury — shoot with trunkshot/poisons

Positioning

The entire encounter takes place in the center of the coliseum arena, the raid maintains a free spread (10+ yards from each other) in all three phases. Need 2 tanks.

🛡 Tank
Gormok: one tank keeps the boss where he stood, the second is ready for a swap using Pierce. Worms: Each tank takes its own Jormungar, both with their backs to the raid and not facing each other; mobile kites from puddles of mucus. Icy Roar: placed strictly in the center, optionally swapped under the Ferocious Headbutt.
✨ Healer
Heels stand at the maximum distance from Gormok (outside of Deafening Stomp), spread on worms and in a circle on Roar. On worms, the main load is both tanks plus raid damage from debuffs at the same time.
⚔DD
Miles - in the foot of Gormok; range - a ring of ~20 yards. On worms, focus on the Acid Maw (but reduce by HP), switch to snobolds on Gormok. On Roar, spread in a circle, the entire burst into the Stun window.

Role Tips

🛡 Tips for the tank
  • Swap 2-3 stacks at GormokPiercings; don’t bring it to 3+ unnecessarily - each stack prolongs the debuff and adds ~10k damage.
  • StackPierces can be completely removed by immunity (Hand of Protection, Divine Shield, ice block) - convenient when switching to worms.
  • On worms, keep both Jormungars with their backs to the raid and don't point them at each other; always have a clean path for the mediaBurning Bile to the paralyzed.
  • A DC tank on the Acid Maw can place AMS at the beginning of the mobile phase to avoid catching the poison from the firstParalytic bite.
✨ Tips for healer
  • Remember DoTPierces: Heal the 'resting' tank even after changing aggro.
  • By the end of Gormok, pump both tanks to the top - worms with heavy damage immediately come out.
  • On worms, keep AoE cooldowns underParalytic/fire jet;phase is a real check for heal and gear.
  • On Rev, be prepared to heal viaArctic Breath and raise the tank afterA crushing collapse.
⚔ DD Tips
  • Spread out in all phases - less fire damage,Burning Bile andArctic breath.
  • Shoot downsnobolds(the /tar sno macro helps), especially with heals and casters.
  • On the worms, focus on the Acid Maw, but don't come off too much - otherwiserage the surviving worm will be hit hard. A good place for Heroism/Bloodlust.
  • On Reva, the entire burst of mine is on the windowDazed(+100% damage); watch the aggro - it’s easy to drive a tank through this window.
