How to FAIL:

1. Assigning 3 ranged and 2 DKs to KEEP snow down trying to prevent a burrow (which we know cannot be achieved)

2. Assigning all melee to attack adds while they are up, and leaving remaining ranged on boss at all times.

You will not see enough DPS to prevent boss from enraging.

3. Trying to Stun, CC, Tidal Wave (which does work) ALL adds until the boss burrows, then burn adds. (you'll survive 1 burrow this way, but you'll get tunnel visioned and not stand on snow when he burrows and shortly after get imploded, vowing that took too much healing to work affectively)


How To WIN:

1. Treating the ENTIRE boss fight like Yogg phase 3.

2. Stack the Entire raid excluding 1 hunter whos job is to produce as much snow as possible (the snow was used as our areas to stand on while DPSing boss and adds and defensively during burrows)

3. Everyone else from the raid stand behind (in the bosses booty) including the 2 OT's with adds held there as well.

4. Burn burn burn boss, switch to adds....burn burn burn, switch to adds.

5. Once the boss Burrows the "persued" person runs away as best as possible through the snow the rest of the players clean up the last few adds.


ONCE THE BOSSES REACHEs 35%

1. Put all dps on a mad cleanup adds race, waited for the boss to burrow.

2. Blow CD's and kept everyone between 30 and 50% HP until down goes the boss.
