Winter is coming...

Comment by TraX

Having a druid tank on Frost King Malakk allows for the druid tank to avoid most of the melee swings that apply Frigid Assault. This is simply due to Savage Defense, and the fact that the druid dodges the majority of hits. Thus you hardly ever have to swap tanks because the stacks become too high. Only had to swap tanks once on our kill this week, due to Malakk not feeling like missing during one certain Frigid Assault pass. It's an almost safe way to do it, but tell your tanks to stay awake anyway. Good luck!

Malakk is the king of Zul'Drak in Northrend. Although he never appeared during Wrath of the Lich King, he was not made up for Throne of Thunder. Malakk was first mentioned in the RPG sourcebook Lands of Mystery.

Unfortunately the RPG books are non-canon, so any of the information it provided about Malakk doesn't count. He's basically a clean slate.

This guy seems to use a model (animations) that is very similar to the trolls back in Warcraft III.

Brace yourselves, winter is coming...

For tanks who are a bit slow to switch targets and taunt for frigid assault, I'd suggest setting your other tank as your focus and using a macro:

/target Frost King Malakk
/cast (Insert your taunt name here)

This way, you can keep hitting whatever you need to be hitting (Sul, perhaps) and when you see the other tank with 10 to 12 stacks, you can just hit the button.

The spirit of Gara'jal the Spiritbinder possesses a councillor, empowering their abilities and causing them to generate Dark Energy. The spirit remains in a councillor until they suffer damage equal to 25% of their maximum health.
Once the spirit is forced out, it rushes to inhabit a new councillor, resets Dark Energy to 0, and leaves behind the Lingering Presence effect.
