Forgemaster Balehammer is a boss in the Pit of Saron in Icecrown Citadel. After learning the secret of creating Iron Dwarves in Storm Peaks, Balehammer retreated to the forges of the Scourge in Icecrown to give life to his creations. After failed efforts in Icecrown, Balehammer has finally perfected the process, and has forged a massive iron giant that he has named Dread Iron. He can be fought at Garfrost's former forge.

Abilites
Dread Iron has a resource called Storm Energy, which drains when he uses abilities. When it hits zero, Dread Iron will cease functioning, and Balehammer will summon an electrical storm to recharge him, while Balehammer himself moves in to attack the party. The goal of the battle is to reduce Dread Iron's energy as quickly as possible, allowing the party to kill Balehammer, ending the encounter.

Phase One - Dread Iron's Abilities. Dread Iron will use these as long as his Storm Energy is above zero.







Phase Two - Balehammer's Abilities. Balehammer will attack when Dread Iron's Storm Energy reaches zero.







Changes in Heroic Mode

 * Storm Pylons spawn in Phase One. Lightning streams will randomly arc from the pylons to Dread Iron, slowly replenishing his Storm Energy. Players can interrupt the current with their own bodies, which will inflict nature damage as long as they remain in the stream.



Dreadstorm Revenant Abilities







Strategy
Phase One consists of Dread Iron attacking the party while Balehammer rides on his shoulder. Dread Iron will be drained of Storm Energy as he uses his abilities. When his Storm Energy reaches zero, he becomes immobilized and Phase Two will begin.

Phase Two consists of Balehammer attacking the party while Dread Iron recharges his Storm Energy. When Dread Iron reaches 100 Storm Energy, Balehammer will retreat to his shoulder and Phase One will begin again.

The encounter will end when Balehammer is slain.
