A few hunter specific tips
if you have 2 hunters have one put hunters mark on gormok and you use a macro like

/tar snowbold
/cast Hunter’s Mark

normally they are tanked close so melee can damage snowbolds as well if you use multi shot instead of aimed you hit both the Hunter marked gormok and the snowbold

I also find if i stay at max range its easier to see the fire bomb head to you and you can press both mouse buttons click to run forward out of the fire

also wait a few secounds before popping all your cooldowns and rapid fire till the tank gets a few sunders

I also set a snake and Immolation Trap trap a few seconds before he comes out the door run back in viper to regain the mana and switch to dragonhawk while I wait for the fight to start

I think it’s more for the tanks- once of them gets a stacking nature dot/debuff.

I was checking damage done on the fight and I wasnt noticeing too much Natural damage. Does it help that much more?

Yep. His frothing rage brings back the need for hunters with Tranq Shot. The only slight challenge is being in range. I start spamming the shot, point myself to him, and push the forward button so as soon as I’m unfrozen, I move towards him and pop the shot once in range. Don’t miss!

We 3-shotted it on 25-man, the most difficult part we found was cleansing the poison debuff by finding someone with the fire debuff.

We then took 2 10man groups in and killed them again. We found the 10-man version slightly more tricky than the 25-man.

Top tip: If Icehowl hits someone when he charges, the enrage he gains can be dispelled with tranquilising shot!

I didnt think of the aspect- I’m spoiled by the sheer number of shamans with resist totems in my raids :)

Good job – a nice strat guide.

10 and 25 man seem to be same except for boss HP – so a 10 man run isn’t necessarily easier. In fact, because of raid composition, 10 man can be a little tougher. We found our 25 man team could muscle and pound thru the fights, while 10 man groups were forced to be more strategic.

Also, you might mention that the Aspect of the Wild helps the raid quite a bit during phase 2.

Last, this encounter drops a trophy, necessary for the best gear (once we have enough Emblems!!).

Kudos!
