So the first testing in ice crown is happening at the moment. I must say so far it is a pretty fun place to be. The trash leading up to the first boss is straight forward enough once you work out what each of them does. Lord Marrowgar himself is also straight forward.

Below is a quick run down on the trash leading up to and Lord Marrowgar himself on 10 man.

Trash:

• Spiders do a web wrap that must be broken.
• The casters hit for about 12000 on random targets so they need to be interrupted/stunlocked
• The big skelton guys cast a spell lock thats on a 4 second cast. Make sure u are not casting when it goes off.

Lord Marrowgar:

• Casts a fire which moves towards the outside of the room, pretty easy to avoid.
• Cast bone spike, that does damage to one person in the raid overtime (about 3000). While bonespike is under them they can not move or cast. They bone spike must be killed, to free them.
• Whirlwind, targets one member in the raid to go after. Does not hit very hard (around 3000). Pretty easy to heal though.
• He also casts Saber Lash an instant attack that hits the tank for 12-15k damage. Pretty easy to heal though but the healers need to be onto it.
• You will also have a debuff called The Frozen Throne’s chill, which does damage over time. From what I can tell its only about 100, and I was absorbing all of it. This does mean you can not eat or lock summon or mage table. You have to do this at the start of the instance.

So this s a pretty easy encounter. There are only a few things you need to do. Move away from fire. Kill the bone spikes when they are up.

Healers will need to heal who ever is in bone spike, and watch for when he hits the tank for a crap load and you will down him very easily.

I will finally leave you with a few screen shots:
