*'''Grievous Wound''' A [[bleed]] debuff, it causes Rokmar's current target to bleed for 900 physical damage every 2 seconds until the player with the [[debuff]] has been healed to full health; [[Divine Shield]] and [[Stoneform]] will also remove it. Also, the debuff is not timed, and will last until you are dead or cured.

*'''Water Spit''' [[AoE]], deals 1600-1800 [[frost]] damage to nearby targets. [[Frost]] resist gear would be useful, as it would save the healer's mana and the [[healer]] will not [[aggro]] that easily. But it's not necessary if you have strong dps. The range is 40 yards, so hunters can stay out of range, depending on spec.

*'''Entangling Moss''' increases attack speed and casting time by 50%. The spell is ranged, about 30 yards. If you are healing, be sure to get out of this. It's a sure wipe if you get it since you have to keep your MT topped.

[[Category:Shattered Sun Offensive NPCs]]
 
*'''Enrage''' [[Heroic Mode]] only. At 20% health he enrages, increasing his attack speed.
 
 
== Strategies ==
 
 
His water attack is frost based, so frost resist of any kind is good; resist gear, pots, etc... I would suggest at least 100, otherwise your priest will be pulling heal aggro from group heals. His claws glow so the tank can call out before he spits if you want to run out of range.
 
 
Interrupts such as [[Silence]], [[Earth Shock]],[[Kick]], [[War Stomp]] and [[Shield Bash]] etc do not work. Range classes and [[casters]] stay back and do your [[DPS]], and get out of the 41 yard radius to bandage if you get hit by the AoE Water Spit.
 
 
Take your time, and this is easy. If you pull aggro to the group, you will be in trouble. When he enrages you must watch the tank, any class with heals spells should be healing the tank, he hits hard.
 
 
To save everyone's lives if the MT is dead and Rokmar is nowhere near dying, all the remaining group members jump into the pool of water. It appears that although Rokmar is a gigantic Bogstrok/prawn, he can't SWIM! When you jump into the water you will exit combat mode in a moment and Rokmar will go back to patrolling. Be '''sure''' that you do get out of range of his Water Spit. If you make it near the ramp it will be far enough.
 
 
His most devestating attack is a bleed effect, which will increase the already tremendous amount of damage per second over time. The only way to remove this is to heal the afflicted member to their maximum hit points. When this is done, the bleed is removed. This fight is a cakewalk with two good healers(A shaman and a druid/priest works very well), who can keep the tank and main DPS from bleeding out. Party composition for this should include an assistant healer, and DPS.
 
 
== Heroic Mode ==
 
Water Spit hits for about 1.5k, easily outhealable by a shadowpriest's Vamperic Embrace or lower rank HoTs. It is possible to spell reflect it so a warrior tank should use spell reflection when he notices Water Spit is being cast.
 
 
His 20% enrage isn't that bad but will test your healers gear if combined with an active Grievous Wound. It is very helpful to save cooldowns such as [[Healing Potion]]s and [[Healthstone]]s for this.
 
 
Grievous Wound ticks for around 1.1k every 2 seconds. If this is not removed from the main tank, this will be applied to other players in melee range more likely than not killing them several seconds after (fixed in 2.1).
 
 
He is often considered relatively easier than he is on normal mode at the appropriate level.
