**Warlocks should use their Voidwalkers to draw aggro away from them and banish the Firesworn for the entire fight. Hunter pets on these banished Firesworn can also help control aggro and keep the warlock alive long enough to rebanish.

**Around 50% health, Garr will release all banished Firesworn at once. He may also sacrifice a Firesworn before it can be rebanished. Warlocks must be paying attention to Garr's health, or someone should announce when Garr is approaching 50% health so that they are prepared for the debanishing.

Garr is described as one of the lieutenants of [[Ragnaros]] who accompanied the Firelord into Azeroth during the [[War of the Three Hammers]]. He carried out the betrayal of Lord [[Thunderaan]], the Prince of Air and otherwise referred to as the "Windseeker." During the [[Elemental Sundering]], Ragnaros sought to consume Thunderaan, and did so by having his two lieutenants, [[Baron Geddon]] and Garr ambush him. Thunderaan, caught off guard, was utterly destroyed. Ragnaros almost completely consumed Thunderaan's essence, and stored the rest within a talisman of elemental binding. Ragnaros cleaved this talisman into two equal pieces, to which he assigned Baron Geddon and Garr.
   
  +
As one of the two chief lieutenants serving under Ragnaros, Garr plays a key role in the current success of the Firelord and his spreading influence. Garr, like Baron Geddon, holds half of Bindings of the Windseeker, which contains the remaining essence of Thunderaan, Prince of Air. Tales say that after centuries of partnership, Geddon became suspicious of Garr and felt the elemental sought both halves of the talisman. Thus, relations between the two powers are strained. Both Garr and Baron Geddon draw their considerable might from the blazing runes carved deep into the floor of Molten Core.<ref>''[[Monster Guide]]'', pg. 159</ref><ref>http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/wow/en/teaser/molten_core</ref>

An important note on the guards: Whenever a guard is killed, Garr grows a little stronger. In order to make the fight as easy as possible only half of the guards should be killed before taking down Garr. We did this by taking 4 Warlocks with us that took care of keeping half the guards banned all the time. Meanwhile our 5 Tanks took care of Garr and the other 4 guards. We determined a Tank order beforehand and then killed the add tanked by the weakest warrior first, the one tanked by the seconed weakest warrior next, and so on. We put only one healer on each of the add-tanks, since they died quite fast. A single druid is easily capable of keeping the first tank alive if the dps is concentrated on his/her guard. Once a guard is down, the tank and its healer help downing the next guard. Once the 4 tanked guards are down, the DPS is directed onto Garr who was tanked by the toughest tank and more than one healer. When Garr's life is going low he will use a special trick to free the remaining 4 guards from banishment. The warlocks have to be on their toes to banish them again. Once Garr is down, the remaining guards are easily taken care of. --[[User:Dark Spot in the Corner|DSitC]] 16:34, 16 Aug 2005 (EDT)

  ⚫
===Strategy 1===
  +
The more warlocks in a group, the easier this battle will be, but this strategy still works with only a couple. Each warlock is assigned one of the firesworn. For that specific firesworn, a warlock must keep the firesworn banished and have a voidwalker to tank it in between banish breaks. Every firesworn that is not assigned to a warlock must then be offtanked and killed by dps. During the fight, the group will benefit the most if all of the mobs are kept spread out, so as to prevent any difficulties with explosions and Garr's debuff abilities.
  +
  +
Caution: when firesworns die they explode, causing large amounts of damage to all surrounding group members. When they are about to die, melee must get away from firesworns so as to save health and save healer mana.
  +
  +
When all tank-assigned firesworn are down, the group can then focus on Garr, which should be tanked by the MT from the very start of the fight. Warlocks must remember keep their targets banished at least until Garr falls.
  +
  +
Once Garr is dead the raid needs to kill the remaining banished firesworn one at a time.
  +
  +
===Strategy 2===
  +
Have 1 player tank Garr and all the adds. Allow threat to be built up with Demoralizing shout prior to DPS. This can be tricky as the tank will obviously require a tremendous amount of healing. Several paladins or priests need to be constantly removing the Immolates from the tank. Once Garr is down the firesworn can be AoE'd down.

He attacks and backs off to keep his opponents from making full attacks against him while his army of elementals surrounds and protects him.

Strategies

Garr

Strategy 1

The more warlocks in a group, the easier this battle will be, but this strategy still works with only a couple. Each warlock is assigned one of the firesworn. For that specific firesworn, a warlock must keep the firesworn banished and have a voidwalker to tank it in between banish breaks. Every firesworn that is not assigned to a warlock must then be offtanked and killed by dps. During the fight, the group will benefit the most if all of the mobs are kept spread out, so as to prevent any difficulties with explosions and Garr's debuff abilities.

Caution: when firesworns die they explode, causing large amounts of damage to all surrounding group members. When they are about to die, melee must get away from firesworns so as to save health and save healer mana.

When all tank-assigned firesworn are down, the group can then focus on Garr, which should be tanked by the MT from the very start of the fight. Warlocks must remember keep their targets banished at least until Garr falls.

Once Garr is dead the raid needs to kill the remaining banished firesworn one at a time.

Strategy 2

Have 1 player tank Garr and all the adds. Allow threat to be built up with Demoralizing shout prior to DPS. This can be tricky as the tank will obviously require a tremendous amount of healing. Several paladins or priests need to be constantly removing the Immolates from the tank. Once Garr is down the firesworn can be AoE'd down.
