Ghamoo-ra
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruGhamoo-ra is the first boss of Blackfathom Deeps, a colossal ancient turtle guarding the entrance to the sunken temple. The fight is a check on whether the group is ready for the dungeon: nothing difficult, but the large health pool demands patience and steady healing.
Tactics
- Tank faces the boss away. Ghamoo-ra hits in a small area around itself, so the tank turns the turtle away from the group while melee attack from the sides and behind.
- Bring patience. The boss has a very large health pool for its level. Don't panic about a long fight — the turtle's damage is low and predictable.
- Steady healing is enough. There are no sudden damage spikes: keep the tank comfortable and save mana, the fight is long.
- Clear the adds first. Kill the naga and murlocs by the bridge before the boss, so nobody pulls extra enemies during the long fight.
