This boss in the Pit of Saron is now getting a unique flesh giant model. It's basically a flesh giant, but covered in ice and frost etc.

For Mages, This guy is a lot easier if you use Mage Armor, the 50% magic duration completely kills his debuff. Still hurts (heals please ;_;) but at least it doesn't get any more powerful lol

Edit:
With Mage armor now nerfed to 35% this Armor may or may not completely neglect his debuff. At 35% it reduces the debuff time to 1.95 seconds. If the game does not round the buff time the 2 seconds between pulses could carry over the debuff due to server lag.

The Permafrost nova must be avoided once in a while by hiding behind the saronite rocks he throws around. (or dispelling debuff)
Also, he spawns with couple mobs around the forge area, which aggro the group as soon as he does. They should be killed early in the fight.

Garfrost hope giant underpants clean. Save boss great shame. For later.

Here is what we had/did.

Tank - Warrior
Healer - Priest
DPS - Elemental Shaman
DPS - Arcane Mage
DPS - Destruction Warlock

When we pulled the mob, it pulled the boss, so I charged the boss and Thunderclapped to the attention of others, then Challenging roar just in case. At that time, all the AoE was put down and the little guys died really fast. As the description says above, we just waited for him to throw saronite boulders on the ground. Quickly running behind them, will make it so the debuff doesn't stack on you anymore and it wipes off your debuff bar.

It was really just a tank and spank in between. Get him in the center, DPS to your hearts content. Nothing too bad about this one at all.

Only 1 drop off this boss, which in retrospect to ToC (Heroic) leaves something to be desired, but I am not here to cast stones. iLvl 232 equipment is nothing to laugh at for a heroic.

Yeh, we were having trouble for first 2 attempts then read some strats from google. Trick is to get adds down ASAP then do the tank and spank. Also, if you've got a sham or pally, frost resist helps a lot!

Cutest boss ever.

I want to hug and squeeze and love him.

Morbanth의 댓글

I tanked him today on my paladin and we wiped a couple of times figuring him out, but in the end it was fairly simple, a bit Sapphironish so to speak.

When you pull him and AOE the adds down, make sure the party is spread out as far as possible - this will ensure that any boulders he throws will spread out. This is important because the tank can't hide behind the same boulder as the rest of the party due to his cleave, and you'd be suprised how fast he can run from the forge to the boulder and cleave you all apart if you all use the same one.

Death Knights can use Anti-Magic Shell to clear the debuff as well. I recommend doing so to take some pressure off of your healers.

His saronite boulder will destroy totems, so you should place them where no one is standing.

How to annoy your healers (particularly on heroic): run away while they're trying to lose their Permafrost behind a boulder. You'll be out of LoS, taking damage and not getting heals. Seriously, melee DPS can totally ruin the day on this fight if they don't pay attention.

TLDR: If your healer is behind a rock, he can't heal you. Hide with him.

To expand of what Philipae had said in a small but not widely recognized post above, one cannot stress enough that tank frost resistance gear will make this fight infinitely easier.

To spell it out:
Frost resistance has the ability to resist one of his attacks that puts the debuff on you. If you stick on the three pieces of 213 frost resist gear (or less and have a party buff) you'll be able to easily tank this boss without a problem.

I find that when I tank him with no party buffs and the frost resist boots, belt, and chest, I resist about every 4th Permafrost and the debuff wears off, only needing to hide behind saronite when he goes to reforge his weapon to save healer mana.

I don't care what anybody says. This guy is friggin' ADORABLE.

You'll be out of LoS, taking damage and not getting heals. Seriously, melee DPS can totally ruin the day on this fight if they don't pay attention.

The same goes for healers. Heals, don't hide behind a rock the whole time. Stay in there for just the 2 seconds it takes to take off that debuff, throw a heal on yourself, and run back out.

Frost resistance has the ability to resist one of his attacks that puts the debuff on you. If you stick on the three pieces of 213 frost resist gear (or less and have a party buff) you'll be able to easily tank this boss without a problem.

That's just not very realistic. I rarely encounter tanks who even *own* frost resist gear, much less would be willing to tank using it over their normal, higher-defense armor. The fight is short as long as your team keeps clearing those debuffs and keeps on the DPS; the tank being immune won't make the DPS any better at doing that.

Optimistic. Maybe it's just my imagination, but this fight seems to draw out the retard in most players. It's a real boon to find someone who even realises that the boulders stop the stacks reapplying, let alone actually does it.

Mild frustration outpouring: I've come to really hate getting this instance as a random heroic, and purely because of how stupid some people can be on Garfrost. Three times in a row now, I've been mashing my keyboard like a madman because of a tank and 3 DPSers who did not once hide behind a boulder to clear their stacks. Hell, one group didn't even think it'd be a smart idea to get rid of the adds (despite them hitting me and the local warlock constantly).

On normal, you can *!@# about and forget the stacks. People seem to think this is just another easy heroic boss - guess what boys and girls, it's not when your job involves more than "durrr, smack with hammer rite?". If you don't clear your stacks (other than the tank, obviously), you're going to find people stop healing you because you're just putting the tank at risk by eating up the healer's GCDs and mana.

It's perfectly acceptable to wear when fighting Garfrost.

Understood, but this requires a group effort -- even if the tank lives, the DPS surviving is going to be the best bet to down him. And unless you know you're going to be running this beforehand, getting this in a random means having the polar set on you isn't a strategy so much as solid luck and a bunch of wasted bag slots.

It's not your imagination, it's the nature of a PUG. I always ask if people know the fight and explain it if they don't, but it's not uncommon for me to wind up with 4 other people who haven't done it in their life claiming they "definitely" know it, and treat it like a basic tank-and-spank. Usually after a wipe or two, they get the clue and start listening.

I can't say I mind this instance though... with the Icecrown instances, it feels like there's a bit more variety with the bosses. The fact that you can't just go in there and spam the AoE button says a lot.

Anyone else having issues recently of the stones not correctly allowing LoS for the debuff to fall off? Happened several times last night where the debuff kept stacking while behind the boulder which is more than a little problematic on heroic difficulty.

Did Garfrost get buffed in today's maintenance? I went up against him today with three different healers and wiped each time.. I have never wiped on him before. I know it wasn't a tanking or healing issue either.. they were both good, and we should've blown him away.

Therulnig의 댓글

Garfrost can go to the Forge before throwing a builder, which causes the group to get ~15 stacks before a boulder finally gets thrown. Very close as far as healing, especially if the group doesn't want to bunch up for AoE heals >_<

Actually, in my last running as a healer it was almost a guaranteed wipe because this happened and we had an insane number of stacks (My Chain Heal was just keeping up with the damage) and when he threw the boulder he threw it right under his own feet, and by the time the tank had backed him out of it far enough for us to actually drop the stacks 2 of the three DPS were already dead, and I was close lol, but I dropped my stacks and continued healing him..but remember he didnt have a chance to drop his - so the healing just got too intense with no DPS...

Appreciate the information as I am trying to get back into this crazy game.

Never wiped here before. Wiped 3 times last night.

Once, Garfrost threw his 2 boulders practically one top of each other. Another time, he didn't even seem to throw a boulder, another time, he threw the boulder on the stairs

DPS was to the point of 16+ stacks of debuff, which I can't heal through ...

Don't think the tank cleared his debuffs either, but then again, it may be hard to clear your debuffs when there is no boulder to clear them with.

This guy is living...or undead...proof that the Lich King is an equal opportunity employer. Even the slower witted undead are given ample employment opportunities! And I mean look at this guy-A ForgeMASTER!

His H.R. department must be one hell of a set of staff. Vote for Arthas. Equal employment for all!

This may be answered somewhere else already, but I couldn't find it if it is. As a priest, can I dispel or mass dispel the Permafrost to keep the damage down or is the LoS trick/getting a lucky resist the only thing that clears it? Just got my priest to 80 a week ago and was just trying to read up on the fights in here before I draw it in a random or decide to queu up for it even on normal and have no clue how to do the instance and end up being epic fail for not using all of my abilities to mitigate damage during the fight.

did he get nerfed or something? I can tank him easy on my DK, (HC ofc) and easily getting over 11 stacks and still surviving... am I missing something?

I have healed this instance a thousand times and had mixed luck on Garfrost. I finally put together a tank set and successfully tanked him on try #1.

The big trick here is to (as a Pally) use Frost resist aura. I had 5 resists in the fight from just that boost. No resist gear or anything. After he breaks and runs for the forges, get behind a rock or anvil. Just because he doesnt drop a rock in a reasonable place doesnt mean that there arent other ways to get the debuff off. And on Heroic, you need to get the debuff off unless you have Soak gear on (High HP gear).

Tanks, make sure you dont get out of LoS of the healer. This cant be stressed enough. Healers (from experience) CAN NOT HEAL YOU THROUGH THE ROCKS! You have stacks on ya, so you need to make sure you arent trying to be a hero and stay out ahead of the rest. Its a group fight. Not a solo bash. You will die.

Fight was incredibly short, otherwise. Hope this helps and good luck. :)

I just went holy in the last couple of days, and this and HoR is a horror to get when you're learning. First thing, do not be afraid to order the DPS to get those stacks cleared. Otherwise, they won't, and as a pally healer, trying to clean the debuff and toss HL or FOL around is a freakin' nightmare if you're still learning. I have yet to succeed at this boss. Partially my own fault for learning, and partially also over-exuberant DPS who won't clear and tanks that won't catch adds.

As a mage, you can put up Mage Armor for this fight and the debuff will wear off before getting more than 1-2 stacks. This means you can just Blink through the stun and keep throwing fiery/frosty/arcane-y balls of doom at Forgemaster Uglyface.

After farming Garfrost for his hammer (or trying to) my drop rates were:
2 Garfrost's Two-Ton Hammer
8 Unspeakable Secret
0 Ice-Steeped Sandals
2 Flayer's Black Belt
1 Polished Mirror Helm
3 Ring of Carnelian and Bone

This is in an all-paladin group. I do so wish they'd adjust loot for the classes present. :P

Just a note that the saronite boulders break LoS for heals, so healers cannot seek refuge behind them while healing the melee.

One simple thing I didn't see mentioned above that should be noted is to be sure that the tank is the only one in standing front of him during phase 2. This includes ranged and healers, not just melee. Chilling Wave can be brutal if you have too many stacks of his debuff up.

I've actually 3-Manned the Heroic version of this guy along with Krick and Ick. I had a Pally tank clled Rollz, a Rogue named Soulcalibur and a me, a DK. The only damage the Pally took was from Garfrosts magic at times, and Krick and Ick were a breeze. Tyrannus we got to 125k hp and died.

I've had a mixed bag with this guy. I can solo him with my Blood DK on reg, but late into the first month of this being new, wiped for nearly an hour on heroic. Group was a 5k GS prot pally, my holy/shadow priest, a resto/elem shammy, hunter, and Blood Dk. Exception of the DK, rest of the group were all in the same guild, and best geared of that guild.

Does seem to have been nerfed though. Even with a pug of baby-80's, he drops pretty easily on heroic without too much pain.

To the solodins out there ... This Instance can be soloed on Normal as a protection paladin, and most of the trash can be skipped if watched carefully, the boss' takes some time ...
I did Forgemaster Garfrost in about 5 minutes ...
Ick & Krick That one took me around 7-10 Minutes to take down ...
Scourgelord Tyrannus This one was the worst one, made me use my LoH because I wasnt carefull enough ... He took me roughly 10+ minutes ...

Forgemaster Garfrost : He is the easiest of em, hence why he is first boss ^^
Well the way I did him was simple tank and spank, run around his boulders to reset stacks, and just take him down slow and easy ... Special Ability used on this fight "Frost Resistance Aura" "Seal of Light" "Judgement of Light"

Solo'd this guy as a lvl 85 fury warrior and picked up 11번은 제발! at the same time.

I used the non-elite skeletons as "bait" for 연전연승 (glyphed), which kept my health topped up throughout the fight (healed for 49k per use). Other than that it was a case of using the saronite bolders to keep the perma-frost stacks from getting too high and moving around the arena.

He went down far easier than I had expected, the fight lasted 1min50 and my dps was 7940.

Solo'd this guy as a lvl 85 BM hunter with 2xTier 5 and a Turtle pet. Was pretty much tank and spank, avoid the boulders, don't stand in the fire, and stand behind the boulders when he does his major AoE. Easy overall.

Skadja의 댓글

Not too hard to Solo on normal as Shadowpriest.

Kill the little adds early with mindsear, then stay mobile! Abuse your dots to their fullest potential.

Hide behind the saronite boulders when he's switching weapons so your stacks will fall off. If you spend too long not being behind a boulder and you get 9+ stacks, throw a dispel or two on yourself to clear 2-4 stacks.

Use your fiend + fade if you get into trouble, and make good use of Dispersion.

Stay mobile, be patient, and he'll drop without too much risk to you!

For those doing this boss in a Timewalking dungeon, I noticed a few things.

1) If the tank has the boss too close to the boulder, said boulder provides no protection, meaning that stacks do not drop off.

2) The DK ability Anti-Magic Shell does not clear stacks anymore. (Well, it didn't for me. Hopefully it is an unintended glitch that will be fixed.)

3) If the tank dies, this boss can/will one-shot a dps. I didn't even have time to bres the tank.

4) Often, dps will stand and take the stacking debuff, not bother getting behind a boulder at any time, and then ask why they weren't getting heals.
