Strategy

Skarloc comes with two adds, a Durnholde Warden (healer) and a Durnholde Veteran (warrior). While tanking Skarloc, kill the Warden as soon as possible, preferably stunning every heal he tries to do. After that, take on the Veteran, and finish Skarloc after that. Skarloc doesn't hit extremely hard - but he can take a lot of hits, so Counterspell him where possible. He is immune to Curse of Tongues, but the other two can be feared out of the fight.

Heroic Mode

Skarloc now has a powerful Consecration spell in addition to Normal Mode skills. The tank must move out of Consecration every time it is cast.
