Arcurion's fight is mostly an awareness check for your group, all members must move out of the glyphs that appear on the ground to avoid damage. When Arcurion uses his Chains of Ice ability it is best to use an escape mechanic such as [[Hand of Freedom]] or [[Master's Call]] to ease pressure on your healer to dispel. It is highly recommended for priests to use their [[Mass Dispel]] to remove chains from as many people at once.

Occasionally Arcurion will freeze Thrall in a block of ice, when this happens all DPS should immediately switch to the ice block that is keeping Thrall stunned. If you do not the elementals will build up and throw ice boulders much more rapidly and force greater amounts of movement and healing out of you group. However, if your group has sufficiently high DPS it is a good strategy to simply burn the boss down quickly to 30% which will automatically release Thrall from the ice tomb.

At 30% Arcurion will cast his Torrent of Frost ability, this is a major burn phase at this time Thrall will cast [[Bloodlust]] (which does not trigger the sated debuff and ignores any debuff that would normally bar benefiting from it) making it easier to finish the boss. Major AOE healing such as [[Tranquility]] and [[Divine Hymn]] are very useful in keeping the group alive in this phase as well. If those spells are unavailable it is very important for the group to stack up to ease healer stress and use other damage reduction abilities like [[Divine Guardian]].

Background

Dungeon Journal

Horde and Alliance assaults against the Twilight's Hammer have slaughtered many of the cult's fearsome elemental ascendants. One exception is Arcurion, a formidable ice ascendant tasked to slay Thrall and retrieve the Dragon Soul. Should this twisted elemental being succeed, nothing will be able to stop Deathwing from ushering in the Hour of Twilight.

  • Spell frost arcticwinds Torrent of Frost — At 30% remaining health, Arcurion unleashes a devastating Torrent of Frost inflicting 15000 Frost damage each second to all enemies and reducing their movement speed by 50% for 5 sec.

Strategy

Arcurion's fight is mostly an awareness check for your group, all members must move out of the glyphs that appear on the ground to avoid damage. When Arcurion uses his Chains of Ice ability it is best to use an escape mechanic such as Spell holy sealofvalor [Hand of Freedom] or Ability hunter masterscall [Master's Call] to ease pressure on your healer to dispel. It is highly recommended for priests to use their Spell arcane massdispel [Mass Dispel] to remove chains from as many people at once.

Occasionally Arcurion will freeze Thrall in a block of ice, when this happens all DPS should immediately switch to the ice block that is keeping Thrall stunned. If you do not the elementals will build up and throw ice boulders much more rapidly and force greater amounts of movement and healing out of you group. However, if your group has sufficiently high DPS it is a good strategy to simply burn the boss down quickly to 30% which will automatically release Thrall from the ice tomb.

At 30% Arcurion will cast his Torrent of Frost ability, this is a major burn phase at this time Thrall will cast Spell nature bloodlust [Bloodlust] (which does not trigger the sated debuff and ignores any debuff that would normally bar benefiting from it) making it easier to finish the boss. Major AOE healing such as Spell nature tranquility [Tranquility] and Spell holy divinehymn [Divine Hymn] are very useful in keeping the group alive in this phase as well. If those spells are unavailable it is very important for the group to stack up to ease healer stress and use other damage reduction abilities like Spell holy powerwordbarrier [Divine Guardian].
