Nalorakk the Bear Avatar is one of the 4 "Animal" bosses before Hex Lord Malacrass and Zul'jin in the 10man raid instance Zul'Aman.
Zul'Aman will be introduced in Patch 2.3.

For all you mages out there. Put AMP-magic on the entire raid since he only does Physical damage.

This boss has an ability somewhat like the comets the mobs near the final boss in AQ20 did.

In other words, to avoid the "Brutal Swipe" ability from killing anybody everybody must be clustered together for minimal damage spread around.

Strategy
Nalorakk starts in Troll Form and alternates between it and Bear Form. Have one tank chosen for each form. The tank for Troll Form will eat the mangles. During this form, healers should not have to cast as often and should be able to gain back a little mana and/or conserve it. The tank for Bear Form should not get mangled, but instead will get both bleeds - Lacerating and Rend. During this form, healers keep the tank topped off as much as possible. The tank must also be ready to drink potions or eat healthstones or shield wall if a silence hits the raid when he has both bleed effects on him. When Nalorakk switches form, the appropriate tank for it should immediately taunt to grab the aggro back.

The rest of the raid should stay spread out. This will lessen the amount of damage the raid takes when Nalorakk charges and cleaves anyone near the person he charged. Staying spread out will not stop his AoE silence when in Bear Form from hitting the entire raid.

Tanks should have enough +hit (around 60-100). A failed tank switch leads mostly to a wipe.

Dwarf warriors can stoneform when the bleeds become too much for healers. =]

Killed him tonight. He puts out good damage on the bear tank. Healers need to be on their toes with silences, keep the tank topped, and you should be good.

Troll Tank: Prot Warrior
Bear Tank: Prot Pally

Healers: Paladin/Priest/Druid

Overall, not a complex fight, mainly a gear check. Can you healers heal through the damage? Can your tanks even take the damage, and if both are true, can you last a moderately long fight.

For the last group of trash mobs before the boss.

note: Tanks need to split the bears up so they don't get the de-buff.

-Take down one bear and when they split continue to kill the troll then move to the bear, that has been frost trapped (or slept)
- Now you have a tank free pick up 1 of the 2 that are not on mounts (in my case we had 2 locks and were chain fearing them until we were ready)
- Kill the 'shamans' and always kill the totems as the protection ones will bubble all that is in range from malee' dmg ( and maybe spell dmg)
- Then take down the last mounted troll again catching the mount when it splits with a hunter or a druid sleeping.

and once there dead the boss will not start, that is if you killed the mount close to the stairs.

I don't know if this was mentioned above but both tanks need to stand pretty much right on top of each other, his cleave damage is divided up between how many people are in front of him. Hits for around 5k between two people or 10k on one person.

We used a warlock with 12k hp to soak the charges.

Very easy but long fight.

If things go sideways and a tank dies, the raid can run to the stairs going down - once the boss hits the steps, he will reset and this will allow your raid to recover quickly and possibly still beat the 20 minute timer.

Update: If a tank goes down and the boss is still far from dying, do not panic. Have the remaining tank jog down the stairs while getting heals. As he approaches the stairs, everyone should back off the bosses spawn position. The boss will reset and, if things went well, only the down tank needs a res and rebuffs. As long as the tanking occurred at the foot of the starting dias, the tank should be in range for a quick res.

Explaining this to your raid before you start the fight will make this a much more controlled event and give you more attempts before respawns appear. Regardless, there should never be a raid wipe on this boss.

I'd like to point out that hit rating is not nessacary for the two tanks on this fight. I've downed him twice now, and i've only got 15 hit rating or so. The resist rate on the taunt seems VERY low, and both tanks will never be rage starved during the fight (due to the swipe), which means it's very easy to stay close together on threat throughout the encounter.

A number of times I simply put out a bit more 5 seconds before he switched, then by the time he was in bear I had aggro.

Comentado por Skand

Having a pally as one of the tanks can work well here. When the other tank's (warrior) taunt was resisted I was able to bubble and let him get aggro. Similarly if righteous defense is resisted the paladin can put a blessing of protection on the other tank.

Here is a handy guide for adventurers:

First of all you need two tanks: one for human form (nothing special) and a second for bear form (he hits harder than human form and uses two abilities that can be removed with stoneform so a dwarf warrior would be the best race and class to tank him). The one tanking human form will be second at agro during bear form and the one tanking him during bear form will be second at agro during human form). All melee classes except the two tanks must hit him from behind all the time as he uses an ability that hits two targets and will cause

Phase 1: (human form)
He fights as a humanoid and does low damage and uses no abilities. Only thing you must know is that he will put a debuff on the one tanking him that increase damage taken from two bear effects. I think he can use cleave so tanks must stay close to each other.

Phase 2: (bear form)
He transforms into a bear using three abilities.First is a bleed effect that can be removed with stoneform, something like cleave that will do immense damage if not both tanks are close enough and kill one and wipe will come. Second is silence and your tank will have serious problems if he isn't at 100% with HoTs and bleed plus his last ability that will do instant damage and it will apply a DoT. A resto druid would be really nice as his HoTs can save tank.

Note: mages should apply amplify magic as he will do no spell casting. If one of the tanks die run down the stairs and he will reset. You have some attempts before he resets. If he resets you must clear all the trash until top. Last thing is that pets should be close to the tanks so there is a chance that they take the cleave's damage.

Just a note since I had not seen it anywhere and have checked multiple parses for this fight.

This boss does not deal Crushing Blows, to anyone.

As a side note, our Humanoid form tank(Warrior) kept dying on the first switch. Successfully single tanked with a Feral druid, who dodged something like 144 attacks. 2 Holy pallies with over 1700 +healing both spam healing the druid, Resto Shammy covering the raid. I played my S Priest in the heal group Vamp Touch and Embrace up the whole fight after the Warrior caught downs again. The Druid died with the boss at 1%, Warlock/S Priest DoTs and determination brought a kill with only the healers and a lone 'lock(with 678 HP) left alive when the boss died. It's possible to do this fight wrong and still win.

He is humanoid even in bear form...

Comentado por Aleanos

As a Feral druid, I've dicovered a little trick to migrate The damage dealt to you (as a tank) even further than mentioned before.
If you're tanking normal form then right after he charges away there's a small time of nothingness where you can pop barkskin and shift back into bear form, this is if you're quick to do so.
When I was tanking Bear form, using the timer for when he shifts, I was able to pop barkskin some seconds before he shifts to migrate even more dmg.
Just one small tip to make this fight easier.

P.S. Resilience is always welcome in my case because I was able to reduce damage taken from bleeds by ~7%

Comentado por 118093

When he does the swipe, can mages jump in front of him and ice block in order to save the tanks? or healing pally to throw a bubble on to gain immunity on the damage that is divided
and can mage pets or netherwing dragons jump in front of it in order to divide more dmg?

This is the closest boss you can get to a Patchwerk scenario pre-Gorefiend. Very good for judging your stand-and-DPS output for any damage class, since he's only got a couple abilities that mess up damage (silence and charge). Not perfect, and more than likely you'll be missing a few buffs that you'd have in a 25-man, but about as close as you can get.

Using two feral druids to tank, our group found it very useful to have one drop form and assist healing the other whilst not tanking. Of course, deadly boss mods helps to show the timer on his form changes.

Comentado por Nokturnal

I've tanked him 4 times so far as a feral druid. I've realized with my high defense gear i can tank him in his human form easily. While bear form on the other hand was quite undoable without enough resiliance for the bleeds.

Can anyone confirm that he swipe/cleaves in his bear form? Because It looks to me like he doesn't at all

I didn't notice any dmg taken when I wasn't tanking him while he was in bear form standing infront of him.
Although i did notice the bear form tank was taking dmg from cleave while he was in his human form.

Best combo our guild has come up with is me (feral druid) tanking the human form, with the main-tank/shieldtank tanking him in his bear form. I also was able to stop tanking side-by-side with the shield tank and get behind him to help backup heal the shield tank with no problems while he was in bear form. (Seemed to work the best since we only had 2 healers that time and both were slackin on the heals due to the silence i believe)

And oddly enough we have every race of Tanks except Dwarf Tanks for the Bear part. (Looks like Stoneform would help alot)

This boss is damn hard to heal if you have bad tanks. Id say min Hp for tanks is 18k buffed otherwise your raid will wipe for 80% when he does aoe silence in bear form altough its a childs game if u have 20k+ hp tanks... We usually use feral drood for troll and warrior for bear forms. And by the way, if youre a druid and actually not tanking him cause he is in another form , be really careful if you want to innervate some raid member since u can get easily oneshoted by Brutal Swipe if you arent in bear.

Comentado por Lucid

One tip for warrior/druid tanks : Taunt resists will ussually lead to a wipe. Don't forget about your aoe taunt in these situations as an emergency backup.

I rarely see more then 1 taunt resist in a boss fight, so having that 1 backup taunt can save an encounter.

Za is very easy dungeon with 1k spell bonus all casters can join ^^ secont boss just follow this tact *
You will need two tanks for this encounter. The tanks must share the damage of brutal swipe.
*
The tanks must switch when Nalorakk switches forms. This prevents a tank from taking extra bleed damage due to mangle. He is tauntable, making tank transitions simple.
*
Nalorakk does not deal crushing blows, so a feral druid may tank the encounter without added risk.
*
Ensure the tank in bear form is topped off at all times. If the tank gets hit with both bleeds while the healers are silenced, a tank could lose health very quickly.
*
Be sure to keep heal over time spells active on the bear form tank to help deal with the silence.
*
Bleed effects may be removed by Divine Shield, Ice Block, Stoneform, or Blessing of Protection.
*
Mages may use Amplify Magic to assist healing as there is no spell damage involved.And gratz boss down

If you dont kill this boss first try within the timer give up because you wont kill any other bosses in za... Make sure you just have one tank to tank him in troll for and another to tank him in bear form to split the debuff.... thats all you need to know so just kill him but if u dont split the dmg you are screwed

If you complete the time event (Zul'Aman Time Event) for Nalorakk, you can open the Harkor's Satchel and receive one of the items of level 128 (Harkor's Satchel).

Comentado por Thottbot

I thought it'd be useful for me to post a strategy for this boss. My guild have killed him twice now.

You need two well geared tanks to do this encounter. They need to have mostly Kara-level gear to tank here.

Nalorakk is the bear avatar in Zul'Aman. He starts in Troll form, but transforms into a bear! He swaps between the forms throughout the fight, a timer such as Deadly Boss Mods will alert you as to when he changes.

Strategy:

-Two tanks stand on top of each other. He does a Brutal Swipe which has its damage split among whoever it hits. So, two tanks standing on top of each other will split the damage.

-One tank takes the Troll Form, the other takes the Bear Form. Tank 1 engages the boss. When he turns into a bear, Tank 2 taunts the boss. When it changes back into a troll, Tank 1 taunts it, etc.

This is necessary because the Troll Form uses Mangle, which increases bleed damage by 100%, while the Bear Form uses two different bleeds. Tanking the Bear Form with the Mangle Debuff is almost certain death, so a tanking rotation is required.

Warriors be ready to use Challenging Shout or Mocking Blow should your taunt fail.

-Stay Spread Out!. He charges at random people from time to time and does a Cleave, so spread out to avoid more thna one person getting hit.

-Silence! The Bear Form uses Deafening Roar, which silences the raid for 4-5 seconds. This is generally when a wipe will take place, so healers do your best to throw some HoTs on the Bear Tank before the silence, and heal him/her fast when you're unsilenced.

Comentado por Thottbot

His dots in bear form hurt a *!@#load.
two 2k dots + regular hits = epic heals needed.

Comentado por Thottbot

Killed him twice now. If you have a beyond karazhan group at least he is easy. Im a tank and tanked him in bear form. Just taunt him after the shapeshift. And don't worry about aggro since he deals damage 2 both tanks in front of him you get hitted a lot. Tanks will be topped on threat meter @ this boss easely. And ofc. The boots dropped for me:) Putting 12 stam gem in and 12 stam enchant on them:)

Comentado por Thottbot

For the four pack just before Nalorakk this is how our group did it, because this pull is kinda hard:

-You need at least two CC (Mage, Hunter, Warlock, Druid), we used a Lock/Mage combo. The Mage and Lock CC'd the crap out of the two dudes on the right and left (Sheep and Fear).
-You also need at least two tanks (doesn't matter what class), with at least 15k HP. The tanks will need to move in first on the mounted dudes in the middle. Choose which one your DPS will take down first.
-Right around (correct me if i'm wrong) 15%, the mounted guys dismount and the bears swipe for a #$%^ load of dmg. We had a druid shift into bear form to take agro on the bear, while the DPS tried to take down the dude quick. Then switch to the bear, let MT take agro.
-Repeat with second mounted dude.

Allow one CC to continue, then DPS one of the non-mounted dudes. Remember that one of them drops a totem that shields them, so have somebody on those totems asap.

Also, once the fight is over, the boss will agro, EVERYBODY must run back down the steps to reset the boss. Don't worry, the mob will not re-spawn.

Now scroll back up and read how to take down the Boss!

Comentado por Thottbot

The boss will aggro if you are in his range otherwise he won't. But most of the times you are in range after you pickup and kill the cc'd ones.

What we did after the mounted mobs dismount let the tanks pickup the bear and the rest will nuke the unmounted mob down. They go down asap.

This fight took my group 7times to beat him, but it was worth it because the leather belt dropped and i got it for my rouge. But in the end it cost me 40g to repair but i sitll think fighting this boss is worth it even though yo might die a couple of times.

p.s. make sure you have a great healer or else you will die fast.

Killed this boss in first try, and our team wasnt even geared for end kara, people saying this boss is hard as prince is wrong, this boss is rather easy. three healers was on this, paladin, priest, and healing shammy, paladin with 1500 heal shammy with 1600 and priest with around 1500 aswell..
Two tanks, one warrior and one druid.

I dont mind admitting that as a tier 4 warrior tank, i struggle to survive the duration of this fight. all mobs in ZA seem to hit like trains and i think that T4 gear for the tanks doesnt quite cut it here. Ive been to SSC and TK but this is the first place where i have honestly felt undergeared.

Comentado por Thottbot

A great method for all the mobs up to this boss is to have multiple priests in the raid to mind control mobs and have them tank each other. Takes a lot of work away from the tanks and is also really useful later in the raid.

Comentado por Thottbot

I want the helm for my palay healer :)

This fight for healers is ridiculas imo if you dont spam or have alot of em the tanks always die :( but we managed with a palay healing (me) priest healer and shaman healer (using heroism at the end ftw!)

Placing hots on the tanks all the time is so needed plus if all 3 healers try and heal tank while he is low with bigs heals makes him die rly fast always have one healer on permanent little heals. Saying this cos it happened to use twice :)

Comentado por Thottbot

If you have a Paladin Tanking him and the 2nd Tank somehow dies near the end and you would just need one more phase change to down him, here is a neat trick that I used when my warrior buddy died during the bear phase at around 15%:

I announced major healing on me during the last few seconds I had to take over the bear as well, tanked the next phase as usuall and once he made his final shift, I quickly bubbled and switched it right off before he could reach no. 2 in aggro... it did scare our Warlock through, seeing him rushing at him briefly ;-)

Having removed the bleed debuff with this neat trick, I kept tanking the bear phase and we downed him as usual.

Bubbling is an awesome tool for tanks (e.g. if you MT Gruul, you can remove the Stone/Bomb debuff as well). Make a macro to switch it on and off and you will survive in sutuations, where other tanks would meet their demise.

Comentado por Thottbot

Its a pretty boring fight, as covered most of Zul'Aman is a healing test, and a tank gear test, off course good dps that can move quickly (under storms on eagle boss, not stack up on dragonhawk, spread out for lynx)

Hex lord and Zuljiin are where it gets very interesting for healers.

Comentado por Thottbot

Well, this was indeed a long fight. He kept killing our tanks in bear form. That was with 2 healers (pali + druid).

After 4 wipes we devised a new stratergy. We did it with 2 tanks (warriors), 4 healers and 4 dps (mage (me), hunter and 2 rogues). I personally took one mana pot and one mana emerald during the fight... 20 minuts of intense dpsing...

The silence was only for 2 seconds though. not for 5 secs.

Heal like mad... good luck.

Comentado por Thottbot

Tank and spank fight, but you're gonna need some good geared tanks and some equally good geared healers cause he hits hard. You want to have your tanks topped off all the time. Specialy when he goes into bearform he can remove like 60% health in 1 blow and that's on a good geared druid tank. So that can get ugly with the silence that kicks in too in the bearphase. Priests and Druids should definitly keep the dot('s) on the tank in this phase. Pretty much a gear check for the healers and tanks.

OK our tank rota for this is usually a bear druid taking troll form and a warrior in bear form for these reasons ...

In troll form the bear can dodge more and he will not take much damge -- in troll form less healign is needed

In bear form he does TWO bleeds which are nasty but they are EVEN nastier stacked together which he DOES DO - AND he sometimes SILENCES when there is two bleeds on the tank - making this a hard bit in the fight for your healers - the reason we have a warrior is that in the first silence he can use last stand - sheild wall in the second - trinket in the third ( moroes lucky watch) and keep that up - and a pally can bubble before the silence ^^

Comentado por Allakhazam

It's very easy boss if you have a HoTs Healer, and the tanks taunt on time.

Mages use Amplify Magic. Also Dwarf Warriors can Stoneform to avoid bleeding effects. Finally holy pallys should use Improved Concentration Aura to reduce silence time.
