Rotting Frost Giant is a single level 82 undead frost giant only found in the Rampart of Skulls in Icecrown Citadel if the weekly quest is Securing the Ramparts.

Attacks and abilities

•  Death Plague 100 yd range — Infects an enemy with a malevolent plague that will kill its host if unable to spread. After 15 sec, the Plague will infect all players within 8 yards, dealing 8000 Nature damage. If the target fails to infect anyone, the host's rapid death will follow. When it ends, you will gain...
  •  Recently Infected — Lingering traces of the Death Plague prevent a one-time host from being reinfected for 35 sec.
•  Stomp — Stomps the ground, knocking enemies within 50 yds. into the air and inflicting 12000 Frost damage.

Strategies

The Rotting Flesh Giant patrols around the ramparts. If you get the quest for the week, clear everything between the Elevator to Lady Deathwhisper and your faction's respective airship, as well as the group of mobs immediately after the Frost Wyrm and wait for the boss to come around.

Tank the boss up against the wall, and have the melee collapse right behind him. The rest of the raid should spread out as much as possible.

Every 15 seconds, the Rotting Frost Giant will infect a random player with Death Plague. After 15 seconds, Death Plague will deal 8000 nature damage to all players within 8 yards and infect them with Death Plague, granting the initial host a buff that makes him immune to Death Plague for 35 seconds. If there are no valid targets for Death Plague to jump to, the afflicted player dies. When a player gets Death Plague, he or she should move to another player to ensure that Death plague will spread. If the only targets in range have the recently infected debuff, the disease will dissipate. Infecting as few players as possible is beneficial, as it ensures that there will always be valid targets for Death Plague.
