Gruul's Lair High King Maulgar Gruul the Dragonkiller Council Members Kiggler the Crazed (Shaman) Blindeye the Seer (Priest) Olm the Summoner (Warlock) Krosh Firehand (Mage) Krosh Firehand is a member of High King Maulgar's council in Gruul's Lair. Entrance Krosh Firehand Abilities : Deals 8550 to 9450 fire damage, unresistable. 3 second cast. : Deals 6013 to 6987 fire damage in a small radius around himself and slows those hit for 6 seconds. : Shields himself from magic, reducing all damage taken by 75%. Vulnerable to Spellsteal and any form of dispel. Strategy Krosh is usually tanked by a mage, as the mage can use spellsteal to gain the spell shield buff. This will cause the mage to take greatly reduced damage from Krosh's fireball. In order to minimize the chance of a resisted spell shield, the mage should have full (+16%) spell hit chance. With the mage will need an additional 76 spell hit rating to be fully effective. Note that the shield may expire before Krosh recasts it and allows the mage to resteal it. Thus the tanking mage will occasionally take full damage from the fireball. Fire Ward will help mitigate this damage. Krosh is immune to Curse of Tongues and any other sorts of spell slowing / interrupt mechanisms. Due to the blast wave it is very dangerous to engage Krosh at melee distance. He should be fought at range. To ensure survival of the tanking mage, a good amount of stamina gear should be worn. The mage should aim to have at least 10,500 health buffed, preferably 13,000. The healers should be aware of the drastic damage spikes that the mage may receive and be quick to react accordingly.
