Tank Kormrok near the pool you wish for Kormrok to use next, cycling through all three pools before returning to the first
The easiest order is Fiery > Foul > Shadowy, limiting the number of Empowered Fel Outpouring casts your raid must deal with
When Kormrok gains Enrage, he will deal more tank damage and use all abilities more frequently
Always trigger all of the Explosive Runes; a Rune that expires on its own is likely to wipe the raid
Assign a group of players to clear the Empowered Explosive Runes
Stack up in small clumps for Grasping Hands/ Dragging Hands and use AoE to quickly kill them
DPS should prioritize Grasping Hands/ Dragging Hands, then the Crushing Hand (when applicable), then Kormrok
Spread out for Pound and use raid CDs to heal through the damage
Avoid the globules during Fel Outpouring and Empowered Fel Outpouring
Tanks should swap duties each time the current tank is affected by Explosive Burst, Swat, or Foul Crush
Kormrok uses his abilities roughly in the order of Explosive Runes > Grasping Hands > Fel Outpouring, but will start each phase with whichever ability is Empowered first. However, each ability is on its own cooldown timer, so occasionally this order will be disrupted for the second usage of an Empowered ability during each empowerment "phase". He always uses his Empowered ability again before moving to a new energy pool.
Explosive Energy order: Empowered Explosive Runes, Pound, Grasping Hands, Fel Outpouring, Pound, Empowered Explosive Runes
Foul Energy order: Dragging Hands, Pound, Fel Outpouring, Explosive Runes, Pound, Dragging Hands
Shadow Energy order: Empowered Fel Outpouring, Pound, Explosive Runes, Grasping Hands, Pound, Empowered Fel Outpouring
Tank Responsibilities
Position Kormrok near the pool your raid wishes to activate next
Do not chase Kormrok when he leaps into a pool, as the pool deals extremely heavy damage every second
After Kormrok leaps to a pool, reposition him so melee do not have to stand in the pool to DPS
Use damage-reduction cooldowns for the Swat, Foul Crush, and Explosive Burst abilities
When the current tank is affected by one of the above abilities, the off-tank should taunt
When Explosive Burst occurs, move the boss outside of the 30-yard Blast radius
If Kormrok is affected by Shadow Energy, position so that Swat does not knock you into a wall or the slime pools
Take care to avoid Fel Outpouring and Empowered Fel Outpouring, and only participate in popping Explosive Runes if you have a damage-reduction cooldown available
Damage-Dealer Responsibilities
Use DPS CDs for AoEing the Grasping Hands and Dragging Hands
Stack up into small clumps just before Grasping Hands or Dragging Hands to allow for efficient AoE
Swap to the Crushing Hand to free the tank from Foul Crush
Use a personal damage-reduction cooldown when activating the Explosive Runes, especially during Pound
Designated players should activate the Empowered Explosive Runes, aiming them toward the center of the pentagon shape they create
Spread out for the duration of Pound, to avoid splashing damage onto nearby allies
Take care to avoid Fel Outpouring and Empowered Fel Outpouring
Healer Responsibilities
Use raid cooldowns for Pound and Grasping Hands or Dragging Hands, with strong CDs for times when these abilities overlap
Each time Kormrok leaps into a pool, the raid will take a single hit of damage - line up AoE effects for these times
Players triggering Explosive Runes, or especially Empowered Explosive Runes, will require extra single-target healing
Use single-target damage-reduction cooldowns on tanks for Foul Crush and Swat
Stack up just before Grasping Hands or Dragging Hands so DPS can break you free
Use a personal damage-reduction cooldown when activating Explosive Runes, especially during Pound
Spread out for the duration of Pound, to avoid splashing damage onto nearby allies
Take care to avoid Fel Outpouring and Empowered Fel Outpouring
