One of the biggest changes I noticed between 10 and 25 man Uld was the Thorim fight. Thorim himself doesnt change all that much it’s the tunnel/arena phase. You mention CCing if having trouble, I would say that especially while learning the CC is a must. Being knocked down with 2 guardians can pretty much equal a dead tank. It’s enough damage that you really want to have the only melee in there being the tank.

We generally use a Warrior tank in the tunnel then our DK and Pally in the arena and then either a feral druid or dps warr will offspec and grab the champions to keep the whirl out of the group.

I know why I was confused, ‘freeze’ has a different spell visual (you get locked feet), I had confused it with the debuff, thinking I’d got a big stack.

Fixed, thanks Tobo.

2 Things I noticed:

Rubble in 25m Kologarn stacks a debuff increasing damage taken. Still easy to aoe tank as long as they die quickly, but worth noting. Also, that tank won’t want to pick kologarn up for any reason until it clears (8-10 sec iirc).

Snaplasher will NOT become immobilized in 25m Freya. Let a tank build aggro on it, then slow/cripple it so that the tank can kite it. Can be stunned, which is useful when the tank needs to start kiting to get a head start.

I’m absolutely sure he does Freeze in 10 man. I asked 2 healers and they both said Hodir does it in both 25 and 10 man.

Plus: my MobSpells addon picked it up that he casted it: http://hdimage.org/images/gk4×7ygfz9tnz43wx3h.jpg

“(if in hard-mode, they don’t spawn)”

Summoned bots will spawn in both versions of encounter, but only one set of them if you trigger Hard Mode properly.

Thanks. Please do. I did check wowwiki which shows it as I described, and I’m fairly sure my memory serves right too… but I just want the text to be right, so let me know.

btw, I might add this thread to the body text on healing changes needed from to 10 to 25.

I could have sworn that me and other melee all got frost nova’d at the same time, when I did Hodir 10 man earlier this week, I remember because I was asking the priests to mass dispell. I definitely could be wrong though.

I’ll keep an eye on it next week just to be sure.
