Description: The Northrend Beasts is the very first encounter in Trial of the Grand Crusader. The fight is a pushover as long as you understand some of the minor differences between normal and heroic. One of the fist changes you'll notice is that in Phase 1, the fire bombs cast by Gormok The Impaler will leave a DoT effect that stacks for every second you stand in it. In Phase 3, when Icehowl performs his Massive Crash ability, you no longer receive the speed increase after the stun, so be ready to run fast! As with all heroic difficulty encounters, all spells and abilities have had their damage increased by 25-30%, all boss mobs and spawned mobs have had their health increased as well.
