Hellfire Ramparts

Watchkeeper Gargolmar is the first boss of the Hellfire Ramparts instance in Hellfire Citadel. He appears to be captain of the Ramparts defenses.

Abilities

• Mortal Wound: Inflicts 150% weapon damage to an enemy and leaves it wounded, reducing the effectiveness of any healing by 5% for 20 sec. 10% on Heroic; stacks up to 10 times

• Overpower: Instantly overpowers an enemy, causing weapon damage plus 30. Can only be used after the target dodges. Overpower cannot be blocked, dodged, or parried.

• Retaliation: Instantly counterattack any enemy that strikes you in melee for 15 sec. Melee attacks made from behind cannot be counterattacked. Begins using at 30%

• Surge: Charges an enemy, inflicting damage to the target and any of its nearby allies, as well as knocking them all back.

Hellfire Watcher

• Heal  — Hellfire Watcher heals an ally.
• Shadow Word: Pain  — Hellfire Watcher utters a word of darkness, inflicting Shadow damage to a player every 3 seconds for 15 sec.
• Renew  — Hellfire Watcher renews an ally, healing them every 3 seconds for 15 sec.

Strategy

This is not a difficult fight. Gargolmar patrols back and forth with two healer guards, Hellfire Watchers, so clear the groups near the end of his patrol path closest to you; if you can handle them, you shouldn't have any problems beating him.

Any combination of CCing the adds and kill order will work; the only things to consider are the heals from the Watchers, managing his charge, and the debuff that occurs in Heroic mode. It should be noted that priests can MC the Watchers ( [Heal], [Renew] and [Shadow Word: Pain]), perhaps using them to absorb Gargolmar's charges. Unfortunately, the healing spells have a cooldown of about 20 secs, so it won't be of much help healing the tank.

Heroic

Increased damage from Surge, but still not very high. Mortal Wounds now reduces healing by 10% a stack (up from 5% on Normal).
