LORD MARROWGAR BOSS GUIDE - ICECROWN CITADEL

hey guys I'm Jordy and this is your Guide to the first of 12 guides that you'll need to tackle the various Ghouls and baddies in the ice Crown Citadel The Frigid bone construct Lord marigar this is the beginning and the end Mortals okay so Lord marigar is a two-phase fight one where you'll be fighting him like any normal mob and another where he does his signature move bone storm [Music] as far as raid composition goes you're going to want to bring two tanks four to five healers and a mix of ranged and melee DPS as this is the first guide for all of ICC I'd recommend you bring five healers and two tanks for this entire place you'll Flex up and down for a few fights but that should be your core and your hybrids can handle the rest this is a solid example of a raid comp that can handle anything in this place with some flexibility okay so let's get into Lord miragar's abilities first he's got a cleave called bone slice that does a large amount of damage and an arc in front of him this damage is split between any three targets it hits so your two tanks will need to soak this together in order to prevent getting one shot no big deal just make sure both tanks are in front of the boss at all times second he'll periodically cast bone Spike graveyard on three random raid members in the room a spike will jut out of the ground and impale your friends each doing 10 of the player's HP per second until they're killed these must be removed ASAP as letting them Stack Up could be deadly for various reasons so prior these when you see them and get them down finally in Phase One he'll cast cold flame in straight lines around the room these do frost damage so make sure that you've got a frost ore up and should be easily sidestepped now one thing we learned is that if you have between six and eight people standing at range from the boss and the rest of the raid in melee range under the boss you can avoid this fire from ever hitting the melee and anyone else standing there the fire will harmlessly spawn behind them and continue toward the people standing out so at range we use our healers and a hunter or two and anyone else who might volunteer while the melee and the rest of the casters stand under the boss and pump without needing to move at all this helps a lot with DPS and minimizes the effect of this mechanic okay so that's phase one now on to what everybody remembers bone storm 45 seconds into the fight Lord marigar gets bored and starts to spin like a Beyblade slicing up everyone in the room the closer you are to him as he spins the more damage he'll deal but everyone gets hit so everyone will need heals he actually will tend to Target the player furthest away from him on this so if you stay Loosely spread in the center of the room while two hunters or hunter in the tanks run to opposite sides of the room he should ping pong back and forth between them and this will help minimize damage on the raid as a whole there's also some evidence of a bleed being applied here we didn't see it in our polls but it's possible this gets added in later so keep heal strong and don't stand in those fires the fire is almost assuredly what will kill you in this phase not the bone storm itself okay so once bone storm ends he just returns to his normal phase oneself and the fight repeats until you've taken him out all right let's get into the quick walkthrough first on pull we run in in lust the six to eight people we assign to stand out spread out hunters in each corner with the healers toward the center keep in mind if any of these players get bone spiked the ranged must turn and kill the spike or those players will absolutely tick out especially if a cold flame creeps its way toward them while they're impaled melee and any assigned casters will stack under the boss and not move an inch they should be safe from the fires there from here we continue on until bone storm The Raid Loosely spreads and would begin a d-sac rotation to help minimize the damage people use self-saves here healthstones anything to keep themselves up while healers pump as best they can Divine hymns Wings whatever this is the major raid damage phase of the fight and you should load cooldowns into it now ideally he's bouncing around the room and spending very little time in the center but once he's done he should be taunted by your main tank and repositioned squarely where you started and the fight resets healer spread out hunters in the corners meleeing casters underneath and the two tanks soaking in front of him repeat this a few times and downhill go congrats on your first kill and a major step towards climbing the Citadel okay let's talk about some tank tips marigar hits pretty hard especially with that bone slice cleave so be sure to wear some beef he's tauntable too so don't worry all that much about threat do your best to position him in the center of the room as shown this will help your ranged a line around him for a good Phase 2 positioning also don't move him once you're happy with where he's at this could be disastrous for your melee DPS who are positioned carefully so as to avoid getting cold flame dropped on top of them and for some healer tips like I said earlier Phase 2 is where you want to dump all of your cooldowns so create a rotation with your other healers and always have something going up through this phase it will go a long way to cutting raid damage and in Phase One keep an eye on those cold Flames spread out so that if one comes your way you aren't all moving at the same time this could lead to a tank death and if one of you gets impaled call it out so the range helps free you and your other healers know that you're out of the fight for a bit and should cover your assignment and for DPS do your best to stack under the boss in phase one as close as possible this will prevent the cold flame from dropping on your head if you're having real trouble with the strategy just spread out it won't overly complicate the fight much and will be a bit easier and Hunters a well-timed deterrence is nice when marigar is coming at you just be sure to stick to your position as you are an important Point that he's going to head toward in phase two that needs to be maintained and really that's it for Lord marigar once he goes down the icy walls flanking him will crumble and you'll get
