Galakras, The Last Brood of Galakrond

Alright. You've taken out Immerses and The Protectors, cleansed yourself of pride and dealt with the last of the Sha. Now it's time to take the fight to Orgrimmar, and Garrosh. After teleporting to the docks of Orgrimmar, and knocking out the cannons preventing the Alliance fleet from joining in the battle, (seriously, are these guys that weak?), it's time to take on Galakras.

Here follow's Trivial's strategy guide to Galakras. If you would like to know more about this encounter and it's mechanics visit icy-veins.com.

Setup
Divide the raid into two teams: the Ground Team and the Tower Team. The Tower Team will likely be in group one with a tank, a healer and more melee dps than ranged. Two dps in this group will eventually be responsible for manning each of the cannons on the two towers. The rest of the raid will be on the Ground Team and will stay on the road to deal with waves of adds. Eventually we will all fight Galakras on the ground. Speak to Jaina Proudmoore to start the encounter or speak to Varian Wrynn to restart the encounter after a wipe.

Ground Tank

Collect each wave of adds and position them onthe triangle for Blizzard
Focus on the Dragonmaw Tidal Shaman and interrupt his [Chain Heal]
Position Dragonmaw Proto-Drake quickly and face away from raid for Flame Breath
Stun/Grip Dragonmaw Bonecrusher when they charge and Fracture
Pick up Galakras in similar manner to Dragonmaw Proto-Drake and switch on 6 stacks of Flames of Galakrond

Ground Healers

Keep named NPCs healed throughout fight, if they die the encounter resets
Watch for Dragonmaw Bonecrusher that Fracture on NPCs or players
Expect raid wide damage from [Venom Bolt Volley] when Korgra the Snake reaches 50% HP
In phase 2 Pulsing Flames raid damage will ramp up until Galakras dies, we use Heroism here

Ground DPS

Target and Kill any War Banner immediately
Target and Kill any Healing Tide Totem immediately
Interrupt Dragonmaw Tidal Shaman casting [Chain Heal]
Kill adds: Tidal Shaman > Flagbearer > Bonecrusher > Grunt > Flameslinger > Proto-Drake > Demolisher
Kill adds before Korgra the Snake and stay out of Poison Cloud
Kill adds before High Enforcer Thranok and stay out of Crusher's Call
Heroism in phase 2 to kill Galakras and absorb Flames of Galakrond, at 4 stacks move away to drop debuff

Tower Tank

Get a head start to each tower (south then north) while raidkills the respective Demolisher
Tank Grunt at tower base before moving up the stairs (other two aren't really tankable)
Wait for the healer to reach the top before engaging Lieutenant Krugruk (south) & Cannoneer Dagryn (north)
Avoid knockback off the tower from Arcing Smash (south) & Muzzle Spray (north)
Get back to the ground to deal with adds while the remaining tower team secures the cannon

Tower Healer

Move with your tank as best you can and keep him alive
Thunder Clap (south) also slows movement and will makeit harder for you to get out of Arcing Smash (south)
Shoot (north) will usually hit like a truck and might put your tank at risk (a healing CD is good here)
Stay on top of the tower with the DPS until the cannon is secure

Tower DPS

Damage each Demolisher to about 50% HP before leaving for the respective tower (south then north)
Kill the adds at the base of each tower then run to the top
Wait to for tank to engage before damaging Lieutenant Krugruk (south) & Cannoneer Dagryn (north)
Prepare for Thunder Clap (south) & stay out of Arcing Smash (south) & Muzzle Spray (north)
Secure the cannons by eliminating the remainder of the adds on top of thetower
Two cannoneers will be designated to stay behind on top of each tower to man the cannons (usually melee)
- Shoot down any Proto-Drake in the sky
- Wait for the call for Galakras from the ground team
- Shoot Galakras out of the sky (1-2 cannon shots from both cannons)
- Get to the ground and help kill the dragon!
