Kurog Grimtotem Heroic Boss Guide

Kurog surrounds himself with a barrier of elemental energy, reducing damage taken by 99%.

The elemental surges with power, inflicting 2,403 Nature damage every 1 sec. This stacks.

Each melee attack against the same target increases the elemental’s physical damage by 3%. This stacks. When the elemental attacks a new target, Breaking Gravel is removed.

This add needs to be tanked always and you should tank swap at around 5-10 stacks.

Infuses several players with volatile earth for 5 sec. Upon expiration players inflict 168,227 Nature damage to players within 10 yards.

Players marked will have a large circle around them, you need to spread quickly and explode somewhere safe (simply, do not touch anyone with your circle).  A lot of players are targeted by this at the same time, so be prepared for a large spread.

Causes rocks to erupt from Ground Shatter drop-off locations, inflicting 216,292 Nature damage to players within 10 yards and knocking them away.

It's yet another swirl mechanic that needs to be dodged. However, if you previously dodged Ground Shatter and you are standing in the same spot, you will not have to move since Violent Upheaval will be cast at the same location where you dropped off Ground Shatter.

The elemental surges with power, inflicting 2,403 Nature damage every 1 sec. This stacks.

Vanishes and appears behind a random player to unleash Lethal Current.

Channels a lethal current into the player, inflicting 40,855 Nature damage to all players within 8 yards of the target every 1 sec for 6 sec.

This add can cause problems depending on the other Major add in this phase. It’s best to nuke this add down quickly to avoid any complications. You can stun the channel.

Kurog inflicts 33,645 Fire damage to all players every 4 sec while attuned to the Altar of Flame. It increases the damage of Flame dominance by 10%. This stacks.

Kurog hurls magma at random players inflicting 60,081 Fire damage and causes a Magma Pool to form at their destination. Molten magma inflicts 108,146 Fire damage every 1 sec to players standing within it.

This is a large lava puddle that stays up for a long time. It’s best to bait this as a team to save space. It will have a spawn animation first (swirl) so there is plenty of time for all the stacked players to move away.

Kurog unleashes waves of lava, inflicting 180,243 Fire damage to players caught in their path.

Lines of fire swirl in four directions, simply dodge.

Players will be infused with fire, causing them to mark their current location every 1 sec for 5 sec. The marked location explodes after 2 sec, inflicting 447,962 Fire damage to players within 5 yards.

Every player targeted by this needs to constantly keep moving as the Swirls dropped are pretty large (5 yards) and other players are dropping it as well. Keep running until it's over to be safe.

Kurog inflicts 26,436 Frost damage to all players every 4 sec while attuned to the Altar of Frost.

Increases the damage of Frost dominance by 10%. This stacks.

All players are affected by a biting chill that inflicts 12,016 Frost damage every 1 sec for 10 sec.

Simple DoT, just heal through it.

Kurog creates waves of frozen orbs every 2 sec for 4 sec, knocking players within 4 yards away as they form. Each orb inflicts 180,243 Frost damage to any player in its path and stuns them for 6 sec.

When the orbs spawn, all players standing on top of them will first get knocked away; this is to prevent melee RNG (orb spawning on top of you and instantly stunning you). Shortly after, Kurog will shoot the orbs in a straight line. Players hit will get stunned for 6 sec. This is dispellable. Simply dodge the orbs and don’t be this guy: https://twitter.com/GuildHonolulu/status/1589308378949783552?s=20&t=Nu3-AoOW3Xm-J_hvrkBVBg

Kurog hurls a chunk of ice at a player, inflicting 720,974 Frost damage split evenly among players within 8 yards upon impact. The impact will add 1 stack of Frost bite to players that are hit. If a player reaches 2 stacks, they will become Frozen solid.

The player is incapacitated and takes 36,049 Frost damage every 1sec for 10 sec. Cannot be avoided or mitigated.

Two players will get a large circle. Both circles need to be soaked to split the damage but cannot be stacked (to avoid getting Frozen Solid). The best way to deal with this is having one circle go to melee and one in range.

The elemental surges with power, inflicting 2,403 Fire damage every 1 sec. This stacks.

Basically the longer this add is alive, the more damage the raid will take.

Magma seeps from the elemental as it is struck, creating lava pools at random locations that inflict 108,146 Fire damage every 1 sec to players standing in it.

Those are the same lava pool that you get during Altar of Flame, just dodge them. Worth mentioning that the slower you kill the add, the more pools it will spawn.

An additional add will spawn from the lava pools, targeting players with a fireball, inflicting 76,094 Fire damage.

You won’t get many of those adds and they can be killed fast. Interrupt them to avoid damage spikes on random players.

The elemental surges with power, inflicting 2,403 Frost damage every 1 sec. This stacks.

The Frozen Destroyer unleashes a nova of frost that inflicts 72,097 Frost Damage to all players and an additional 16,823 Frost damage every 2 sec for 20 sec. It also reduces movement speed by 10%. This stacks.

You should always interrupt this as it hits pretty hard and the slow plus the DoT can get very annoying if you miss a few casts.

The Frozen Destroyer conjures violent winds, centered on itself for 8 sec, inflicting 96,129 Frost damage every 1 sec to players farther than 10 yards away.

Players standing within 10 yards take 24,279 Frost damage every 1 sec.

This forces every player to stack up on the add to reduce damage taken by this ability. You need to make sure to stack up quickly, as it will most likely kill anyone not close to it in 3 seconds or less.

Kurog gains all the altar abilities at once. In addition, Kurog surges with elemental power, inflicting 7,210 Elemental damage every 0.5 sec. This stacks.

Burn Phase! You have to kill the boss before the stacks become too high. Additionally, you will have to deal with all abilities from Phase 1, so make sure to come into this phase with all cooldowns ready and hero/lust available.
