Strategy

Lord Marrowgar is a fairly simple encounter that should not give any guild prepared for Icecrown Citadel any difficulty.

Tanks need to stand on top of each other to soak Saber Lash.

Ranged DPS or nearby melee should quickly switch to Bone Spikes to free impaled players before a Bone Storm.

Blue fire spawned by Marrowgar should be avoided quickly. It moves in a straight line out from its spawn point in melee range.

Finally, Marrowgar will whirlwind with Bone Storm, leaving a bleed effect on anyone hit by it. This ability is a threat reset. It can be avoided by moving your character away from him before it happens (he moves quite quickly). Tanks should stay close together (they can survive the Bone Storm with prepared healers) to make sure one does not eat a full Saber Lash after. He'll continue to cast Coldflame during Bone Storm.
