The trickiest thing about Kologarn is thinking you have more space than you really have. One person steps into the room to bring him up and as he rises you will see his right and left arms. His left arm does a sweeping smash that can not be avoided while the right arm will grab people and squeeze them until 150k on 10 man, 450k on 25 is done to the arm. The room is very narrow and you do not have a lot of space.
It is important for ranged DPS to spread out in case the focused eyebeam is on you. Melee dps stacks on the tanks by the right arm. The tank will go in and engage Kologarn, melee stacks up on him as well. There is a stacking debuff applied to the tank that reduces armor – this is felt very hard by druid tanks who can usually only take 2 stacks before they get smushed. Make sure to watch the stacks and taunt as needed.
We’ve found it easiest to focus on the right arm and burn that down first. While burning the right arm, he will still sweep with his left causing raid wide damage, grab people with his right until damage is done, and focus his eye on a player. If the player is focused, they need to run out of the room towards the steps. this gives the rest of the ranged a heads up to know where the beam is going and to get out of the way. All damage done to the arm’s will come off Kologarn’s total health.
Once the right arm is down, he summons rumblers. The tank can pick them up and these can be AOEd down by ranged dps. When the rumblers are down, DPS can focus on Kologarn until the arm respawns. Eye beams will continually go off on the raid and it is up to the ranged to stay out of the way and avoid damage.
The rest of the fight is a rinse and repeat – burn the arm, stay out of the eyebeams, if someone is grabbed dps the arm hard, when adds spawn, aoe them down then focus back on kologarn.
NOTE: You CAN fall off the back of the ledge where Kologarn is. do NOT stand too close to the edge!!!
