Simple fight, but it can get messy fast if Mind Control lands on the wrong player.

The Maker Strategy

  • Watch positioning so the knockback does not punt you into extra trash: 30925.

Broggok Broggok boss image from The Blood Furnace in TBC Classic

Fight waves of orcs before the boss emerges. Respect poison zones and keep the room controlled. Most wipes here are “stood in green” incidents. He is one of the hardest Heroic bosses due to the orc waves in Phase 1.

Broggok Strategy

  • Avoid the green floor effects and give yourself room to move.
  • Tank faces the boss away from the party to reduce cleave risk.
  • Ranged and healers play max distance to reduce random pressure.
  • Heroic: poison and spell damage spikes harder. Move early and use defensives sooner. CC waves of orcs in Phase 1.

Keli’dan the Breaker Keli'dan the Breaker boss image from The Blood Furnace in TBC Classic

Clear the channelers cleanly, remove their Magic Debuff: Mark of Shadow, then watch for boss spells. Shadow Protection helps.

Keli’dan the Breaker Strategy

  • Kill the five 17653 first. The boss activates after the last one dies.
  • Ranged stay spread.
  • “Come closer!” – run out of range to avoid big damage.
  • Heroic: damage is much less forgiving. Move early and treat every cast like it can kill.
