Grimlok
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruGrimlok is the leader of the trolls holed up in lower Uldaman and the only serious caster among the local bosses. His spell kit punishes groups that clump up and don't interrupt.
Tactics
- Spread out. Chain lightning jumps between close targets; spread the group so it doesn't
arc through all five.
- Interrupt mind flay. It's a shadow-damage channel; Kick, Pummel or Shield Bash saves the
healer a lot of mana.
- Ride out the stomp. War stomp stuns melee — don't panic, its own damage is small; only the
overlap with other casts is dangerous.
- CC in the gaps. Grimlok is a humanoid: stun or interrupt him between casts; steady focus
ends the fight quickly.

Grimlok is the last test before the Archaedas hall. If the group keeps "spread + interrupt" discipline, the final stone-guardian waves won't catch it off guard.
FAQ
What makes Grimlok dangerous?
He is a caster: chain lightning hits several targets, mind flay channels shadow damage on one target, and war stomp stuns everyone nearby. Spread out so the lightning doesn't chain across the group.
How do you reduce Grimlok's damage?
Spread against chain lightning, interrupt mind flay when you can, and ride out the stomp. When possible it's worth crowd-controlling him between casts.
