Commander Stoutbeard is a dwarf commander that was frozen in The Nexus. He is probably the one who led the human expedition into the nexus. He is only available in heroic mode.

This fight is a carbon copy of the boss encountered by Alliance players, Commander Kolurg, with the obvious exception that he isn't an orc.

Abilities

Commander Stoutbeard

• Whirlwind - Inflicts around 12-16k damage on a plate wearer and 20K on a leather. Goes for about 4 spins.
• Frightening Shout - AOE Fear's people for around 6 seconds.

Strategy

Avoid his whirlwind at all costs. He also comes with two priest healers who respawn on wipes.

The strategy is mainly tank and spank and to make sure that you pull him far back enough that fear wont attract more enemies. Melee should watch out for whirlwind by standing at max melee range and moving away once you see the animation and tank should keep boss far away from any casters. Depending on the group depends on the order of killing the extra priests.
