Kromog
«Magnarons are mysterious in their ways, ancient and inscrutable. Miners excavating an expanse for the Foundry due to the Iron Horde's mass production were horrified to discover a chamber containing a live magnaron. To their surprise, Kromog began to aid them in their task, and now he uses his massive stone fists to remove the gigantic plates needed by the dreadnoughts and siege machinery of the Iron Horde. "
Strategy
Tanks are to be placed together on one side of the boss to share the damage of Stone fists, in they will exchange Kromong every 2 or 3 marks of Warped armor. On the opposite side of the boss will be the group of melés.
Distances and healers will be placed at the maximum possible range to decrease damage taken. We can choose to place ourselves together to optimize the healings in area, since in this encounter the damage is considerable.
Entangling Earth Runes> Thunder Strikes
In the match against kromong, the positioning of the band is essential to deal with the Entangling Earth Rune. We will leave the placement of each member of the group previously assigned, leaving the runes closest to the boss reserved for tanks. If any of them have immunities like the paladin, or charge like the warrior or the druid, they can choose to use these abilities and not climb the rune; in this way we make sure to interrupt the Stone breath faster.
Once we are each caught in his hand, we will prioritize releasing the tanks, so that they can interrupt the Stone breath, then the healers and lastly the dps.
We must be attentive to don't break hands too fast, since at this time he will use the skill Thunderous blows. If any players are free from entanglement at that point, they will most likely die.
We will have to repeat this "Phase" about 4 times during the meeting, so we better be clear about our position.
During the entire meeting, Kromong will keep us attentive due to his numerous abilities.
Several of them are easily avoidable, as are the Rippling Crush, which is presented in the form of a wave of stones in a straight line. The Reverberations, golden rings that we can easily dodge by taking a few steps to the right to the left and letting them pass. And the Rune of Crushing Earth, two hands appear with an orange rune in the middle, we must leave that area since after several seconds it will clap.
However, if the match against Kromong is characterized by something, it is because of its high level of damage to the entire band; This is due to various abilities against which little or nothing we can do more than fully employ our healers. These are the Onslaught, that we can only decrease the damage received by moving away from the boss. The Shattered earth and Stone breath.
Upon reaching 30% health, Kromong will enter Frenzy, gained 20% attack speed and increased damage. At this time we will throw the Heroism, making this last 30% of life go down as quickly as possible.
