Nalorakk ( original ) Nalorakk is the Amani lord of bear s . He is one of the four animal bosses in the Zul ' Aman instance . He guards the cage containing the troll male , Tanzar as part of the Zul ' Aman Timed Event . Trash . When the raid first comes down the opening stairs and around the corner south towards Nalorakk , he is visible standing on a ledge with Troll guards . As the raid moves to Nalorakk to engage him , he will send the guards around him against the raid and retreat to a further platform . He will send a total of four waves , and retreat three times . This behaviour is scripted , thus it ' s hard to get out of combat other than killing the mobs quickly . The script resets only when every raid member is either out of the instance or dead . The four waves get increasingly difficult . The first two consist of Trolls , three in the first and four in the second wave . These trolls are some combination of Amani ' shi Warrior , Amani ' shi Axe Thrower and Amani ' shi Medicine Man . The 3rd wave consists of two Amani ' shi Warbringer , the fourth is two Amani ' shi Warbringer and two Trolls . On the last wave , the trolls flanking the Warbringers can be crowd controlled ( Polymorph , Freezing Trap , Fear , or Mind Control ) . The Warbringers each need their own tank and should be tanked away from one another to avoid their Furious Roar , which increases damage taken by 25 % and stacks up to 200 % . They also have an enrage ability that increases each other ' s attack speed by 30 % . Both these effects can be avoided by keeping them far enough apart . At low health ( 20 - 25 % ) , the trolls will dismount their bears . After dismounting , mount and rider become vulnerable to crowd control . Abilities . Troll Form Bear Form Strategy . The fight is primarily a healing / tanking check whose main challenges are handling the brutal swipe , keeping tanks topped off during silences , and tank transitioning correctly to avoid Mangled bleeds on a single tank . Nalorakk alternates between his troll form and his bear form . Two tanks should be used , one for each of Nalorakk ' s forms . Each tank must taunt Nalorakk off of the previous tank as soon as he switches forms , so that one tank stacks Mangle debuffs and the other has the bleed effects . Taunt needs to be timed precisely , as even a single debuff on the bear form tank can result in a dead tank ( during a silence for example ) . Both tanks should stand in front of Nalorakk during troll phase so that his Brutal Swipe cleave is split between both . The primary tank for the bear phase can stand slightly closer to ensure the cleave is split . An unsplit Brutal Swipe on a single target normally kills it . Nalorakk does not reset aggro when he transforms , so DPS can continue through transitions . Healers should focus on endurance for this longer fight . Heals over time ( HoTs ) are important throughout the fight and especially during Bear Form , when the Deafening Roar silences the raid for 2 seconds . Fast heals immediately after the roar can also help prevent tank death . It works well to assign two healers to Nalorakk ' s current tank and an off - healer to top - off a wounded or bleeding previous tank as well as heal raid members who have just been Surged . A full stack of HoT s greatly decreases the pain of silence ( even HoTs of a feral druid ) . Quotes .
