Rom’ogg Bonecrusher is the first boss in Blackrock Caverns. He is an ogre lord and seems to perform the function of an overseer.

Abilities

• Quake—Slams the ground, causing an earthquake that inflicts 9000 Physical damage to all nearby enemies over 3 seconds.
• The Skullcracker—Deals 95000 to 105000 Physical damage to all enemies within 0 yards of the caster.
• Wounding Strike—Inflicts 125% weapon damage and leaves the target wounded, reducing the effectiveness of any healing by 25% for 6 sec.

Overview

• Clear the first half of the room and fight Rom’ogg there, so he has nobody to call for help.
• Destroy the Chains of Woe as soon as you see them; then get away from the boss.
• During Quake, move away from the boss.

Strategy

Clear the front of the room before pulling the boss or you get a nice surprise.

Does bursty damage and puts down a healing reduction effect on the tank.

Will draw everyone in and bind them to some summoned chains. Target the chains and kill/break them. While you are chained, he is casting/preparing a massive small radius attack, so when free everyone should run away to about 10-15 yards and wait for him to get the attack off before going back in.

When he casts quake, all party members need to shift locations slightly away from the current position.

Rinse & repeat.
