World of Warcraft Cataclysm Garr Stats

Garr is a level 85+ elite rare type npc with 3 special abilities to use. This rare creature is one of the new Cataclysm outdoor raid bosses, requiring coordinated group efforts to take down, with insane amounts of HP. Garr was originally added in patch 4.0.3 of World of Warcraft. Garr has 8 adds with around 800k health each that surround him, meaning he isn’t the sole challenge here. Apparently it is possible to pull the adds one at a time with careful planning, without aggroing the rest.

Health Points: 25,000,000; Mana: 0
Ability – Antimagic Pulse: Antimagic pulse removes 1 beneficial magic effect on nearby targets.

Ability – Massive Eruption: 30 yard radius, area of effect 4 second cast fire damage spell that also causes knockback. Deals MASSIVE fire damage, so make sure to run as far away from this as you can if possible. Cast about every 30 seconds.
