- Smash: 13125-16875 physical damage to all enemies within a 10 yard cone in front of the caster. 3s cast, 2s cooldown. This can be easily avoided by stepping left or right, and when the casting is over, move back in front of Ingvar.

- Woe Strike: Deals 200% of normal melee damage and inflicts the target a curse known as Woe Strike. Any direct healing the target receives while afflicted with Woe Strike deals 1313-1687 Shadow damage to the healer. This effect lasts for 20 seconds or until the curse is dispelled.
- Dark Smash: Deals 8750-11250 Shadow damage to all enemies within a 10 yard cone in front of the caster. In addition, deals 1750 to 2250 Shadow damage to all enemies, knocking them down for 2 seconds. 3s cast, 2s cooldown. See "Smash" to avoid it's damage.

Tactics
Tank Ingvar so that he is facing away from the group. It is essential that any melee class apart from the tank stays behind him. When he casts Smash (Phase 1) and Dark Smash (Phase 2), it is critical for the tank to move out of the 10 yards range in time (should be no problem since both abilities have a 3 second cast). Also make sure that you run directly away from any melee class behind him so that you don't accidentally turn him towards them (his Smash / Dark Smash go out in a cone and will most likely kill them off instantly). When he's about to roar, stop any spellcasting, or else that school will be locked for 6 seconds. Also, in the second phase, when he throws his axe at a party member, make sure they move away, as the axe will spin in place and not chase them. On a further note concerning Ingvar's Roar effect, any ranged, casters, or healers can move directly behind a pillar in order to avoid damage or the interrupt effect from his roar in either phase. Melee can attempt to do so as well, but it's tricky to pull it off in time. The tank can choose to tank Ingvar close to a pillar to facilitate this.
- Save and use any CD's for the beginning of phase 2 when Ingvar's damage output is higher and he deals shadow damage.
- Melee DPS should have ~9000 health.
- After killing Ingvar the 1st time, he will be resurrected. This cannot be prevented and it marks the beginning of Phase 2. Between the two phases, you cannot eat or drink - Be ready to bandage,
[Innervate], click the lightwell, get the tank a new healthstone, etc at this time. - Melee pets should be kept by their owner's side unless a player will be vigilant enough to move them out of the smash radius. Passive buffs they provide their owners will usually be worth more than the hassle of keeping them alive.
- If a pet dies, it's generally not worth the effort of resurrecting them during the fight.
- [Innervate] should be used between the phases to maximize mana return while not casting.
- Shadowfiend, elementals, and all similar moves, should be used straight away during phase 2.
- Low DPS groups or any group that loses one or two members during the fight will likely see healers and caster go OOM due to the boss's substantial damage. Shadow priests'
[Vampiric Touch]/
[Vampiric Embrace] can be unbelievably useful as it helps keep the ranged dpsers life at a manageable level.
Tips for melee:
- Be ready to run.
- Plant DoT effects - poison, rip, tear, mangle, bleed effects, seal of corruption, etc - anything that keeps hitting while running is helpful.
- Don't expect high damage output.
Group Composition Tips
- Shadow resistance is extremely helpful for this encounter. Including a class that can provide it should be a top priority.
- More than 1 melee DPS can make for a difficult fight.
- Any class that can provide off-healing can greatly ease the burden on the primary healer's mana pool.
- Priests are very helpful for this encounter - lightwell can really make this encounter smoother. Casters, healers, and ranged dps can stay near the lightwell for the duration of the fight, allowing the healer to concentrate on keeping the tank alive.
