Rokmar the Crackler Rokmar the Crackler , lord of the Zangarmarsh bogstrok resides in The Slave Pens . Somehow , Rokmar has grown to insane proportions for a bogstrok . The naga have somehow subjugated him into protecting their subterranean domain , or perhaps they have simply allowed him to remain and sate his notorious rage on intruders . If threatened , he will engage and kill any creature that does not belong in his domain by using his tearing claws and water blasting abilities . Strategies . Tanking Take your time , and this is easy . If the tank loses aggro , you will be in trouble . When he enrages you must lay down heavy heals . Any class with heals spells should be healing the tank ; Rockmar hits hard . To save everyone ' s life if the tank is dead — and Rokmar is nowhere near dying — all the remaining group members can jump into the pools of water . It appears that , although Rokmar is a gigantic Bogstrok / prawn , he cannot swim ! When you jump into the water you will exit combat mode in a moment and Rokmar will go back to patrolling . Be sure that you do get out of range of his Water Spit . If you make it near the ramp it will be far enough . Note that if you jump into the Western pool , you will have to walk the long way around to return to Rockmar . Try to jump into the southeastern pool . Water Spit Attack Rockmar occasionally attacks with Water Spit . The attack is an AoE frost - based attack , so frost resist of any kind is good . Paladins should put up Frost Resistance Aura . There is , however , a way for the healers to escape this attack . If the tank positions himself so that he is between Rokmar and the healers , the 40 yard range of the healers will place them just outside the 40 yard range of the Water Spit . This saves mana that the healers would otherwise use on themselves . Everyone else should hang in fairly close to the tank so they can be in range of the healers . Don ' t be afraid ! Interrupts such as Silence , Earth Shock , Kick , War Stomp , and Shield Bash also do not work . Heal yourself with bandage s to save your healer some mana . Grievous Wound Attack His most devastating attack is a bleed effect , which will increase the already tremendous amount of damage per second over time . The only way to remove this is to heal the afflicted member to their maximum hit points . When this is done , the bleed is removed . This fight is a cakewalk with two good healers ( a shaman and a druid / priest works very well ) who can keep the tank from bleeding out . With a single healing class , it is easy to run out of mana trying to keep up with the bleed ; for this reason , Rokmar is one of the most difficult fights to heal . Keeping the tank ' s health high and immediately healing to full when the bleed hits is advisable though not always possible . Notes On Soloing : If , for example , you ' re an 80 who ' s running through a low level friend who isn ' t a healer , you ' ll notice that Grievous Wound can and will eventually kill you . Luckily , unlike other dots , Grievous Wound ' s damage does not prevent you from eating ( though it does prevent bandaging ) , so bring food , and after the kill , just eat up to full health , and the dot will disappear as intended . Dwarven Stoneform Note that dwarves can activate Stoneform to remove the bleed effect Rockmar inflicts the tank with . This can be a useful maneuver , but keep in mind that Stoneform ' s 2 minute cooldown means you can only get rid of one bleed effect , so use it well . Heroic Mode . Water Spit hits for about 1 . 5k , easily outhealable by a shadow priest ' s Vampiric Embrace or lower rank HoTs . A warrior ' s Spell Reflect does not work against his Water Spit , so healers will need to time their heals to hit either right before , or space out their mana as to not be drained before the fight can be over . Frost resist gear , frost protection potions , or any healing potions or stones will be helpful . His 20 % enrage isn ' t that bad but will test your healer ' s gear if combined with an active Grievous Wound . It is very helpful to save cooldowns such as Healing Potion s and Healthstone s for this . Grievous Wound ticks for around 1 . 1k every 2 seconds . He is often considered relatively easier than he is on normal mode at the appropriate level . This is likely due to the additional tools available to healers at level 70 — such as Prayer of Mending for priests — which make it easier to get the tank back to full health quickly when the bleed hits .
