HEROIC!
Sjonnir The Ironshaper:

Our group tried different techniques from other websites and ended up wiping like 6 times. This is the strategy we used and won with.

1. When you walk in the room you want to tank the boss where Brann initially stands and space out the DPS on the bridge with the healer in the back close to the entrance. Kinda like a funnel (the tank being closest to the Boss)
2. Start DPS but be careful of the lightning.
3. Addons start immediately from the grinders on both sides of the room when you start hitting him. There are some Elites that are 27K and some non-elites that are 10K. We just let them walk through the tanks AOE so he got aggro while the rest just continued on the boss.
4. If the addons are too great in number, just stop hitting the Boss and focus on the addons. (they will continue to come out, so thin them down a little).
5. At about 40%-50% health left, OOZEs start coming out of the grinders at about 1777hp each. They make there way to the center of the circle automatically. Get 2 of your DPS into the middle of the circle and start AOEing them. If they sit there long enough they mature to about 13K.
6. Let the rest of the group focus on the boss.
7. When the boss gets down to about 10%-20% Brann fixes the machine and the grinders spit out guys that will help you finish him off.

This helped us a lot, hopefully it will help you

INCREDIBLY EASY ON HEROIC...

To all the previous posters: You are making a lot harder by waiting for adds in the middle.

- Sjonnir tanked where he stands.
- (1) DPS on each platform, DPS'ing adds before they reach the middle.
- Healer stand back where you enter his room at.
- Last DPS stands back with healer (caster), or stands with tank (melee).
- Watch out for the static charge debuff.
- Casts a lightning shield, in which case the tank will need to back up.
- Brann does fix the machine around 10%-20%, which spawns a lot of adds to help DPS the boss, but Sjonnir starts to hit harder at this point. (Make sure you've got good heals on the tank)

Basically the whole fight is (1) DPS on the left grinder, (1) DPS on the right grinder, Tank and 3rd DPS on Sjonnir, and the Healer back healing as needed.

My group could not kill this guy. It was Prot warrior, holy priest, ret pally, lock and mage. Heals would go oom right around the boss gets to 35%. DPS was 1600-1100 for all three. IDK what was wrong but I think we were all getting hit by his aoe and debuff causing the healer to oom faster than usual, cause the tank would move close to ranged to pickup adds etc. It wasnt fun.

Edit: well after reading some previous posts we were going about it like we would for BC heroics 2 weeks before LK launch, just blow through everything. We didnt have much a of a strategy and only 1 person on adds, who bitched about not getting heals.

Comment by Shammando

It should be known that his lightning shield IS able to be purged. Dispelling his lightning shield makes it so melee dps and the tank can stay on him at all times except when he's channeling lightning ring, making the boss die faster.

Comment by painezor

Mages can and should spellsteal Lightning Shield.

Other classes with a magic dispel can do the same.

Comment by bEwaRe

To all those saying to take the adds is the best strat, i suggest doing it by CCing adds with fear and such. Makes the fight so much faster. Ofcourse you need to have some decent dpsers so you dont get too many adds...

1 dps on each platform ftw. Thankyou!

Warrior tanks: spell reflecting the lightning attack does MASSIVE damage to him. Works on heroic.

EDIT: this appears to no longer be true.

Comment by Ayline

Another option is to have an "off-heal/dps" We tried all of the strats listed above to no avail. had a Pali tank, Balance druid, Retadin, Holy priest and Surv hunter. We finally came down to just mass dps him(after 5 or so wipes) and at around 100k I, the balance druid, jumped out of boomkin and helped heal until the tank was stable again and I started dpsing once stability had been attained. Worth mentioning that we had the tank and retadin back out of the lightning. Also having whoever gets staticed move away from the others to reduce damage.

Sjonnir was placed here by Loken to watch over the Forge Of Wills which creates the Iron Dwarves for Loken´s Iron Army

2 Unholy DK's, 1 Priest, 1 Palli and 1 Rogue. Was no problem at all. Stay out of ring when he casts and just dps the sh!t out of him.

Comment by Silentone

Pretty easy, the shield isnt much of a problem, hits only about 2-3k on chance. Dispel static charges, watch the lightening ring, when he does it, just run away and take down any adds up. Just dps him, during the end when he hits harder, i just aoed the slimes and mobs coming in while the other 2 dps stayed on him. if your a ret pally like i am, throwing on sacred shields to healers ( or anyone who its getting hit most) and throwing insta flashes from art of war to people needing heals, is a good idea with less pressure on the healer.

Fairly simple encounter

On Heroic after doing the Tribunal of Ages this boss is cake.

Comment by 282300

Um... Is he wearing a kilt?

Comment by 360094

Ran it for the first time today. I, the prot warrior, threw up sunder stacks as our DK, feral druid in cat form, and mage pummeled him with everything they had. I taunted adds when they spawned and all melee backed off from lightning ring. Priest stood just in front of the door and kept us alive.

Piece of cake.

It just seems out of place...

Doesn't seem out of place to me.

1) Certain zones and music in Northrend, especially Howling Fjord and Grizzly Hills, convey an atmosphere where Scottish garb would be right at home.

2) Sjonnir casts shaman-y spells like lightning shield and chain lightning, and shaman are well known for their kilt armor.

3) Sjonnir's title, The Ironshaper, makes him sound like a blacksmith, and his kilt has the appearance of a blacksmithing apron. Sure, it doesn't cover his chest or midsection, but everyone knows it's only the stuff below the waist that really needs protection.

Interestingly, this boss has a lower-than-expected drop rate for a Frozen Orb for a WotLK heroic boss. His has 59, whereas most have 65 or so. Perhaps this is an average, and it has changed to or been changed from 65 some time ago.

Comment by beardric

Purge means to dispel an enemy's buffs. Shamans are hardly the only ones who can do so.

Comment by Kiso

I'm trying to complete Glory of the Hero and this is the last one I need, Abuse to Ooze. No matter WHAT I do I kill him. I go to the AH and buy a rocket that's suppose to hit for 54k and it shows me he has way over it (I can't remember the number and can't seem to find it on here) but the damn thing kills him.

Does anyone have advice on what to use as a level 100 to trigger Brann to make the Ooze's? You have to damage Sjonnr but I can't seem to find the Goldilock item(s). I searched the AH forever and found some things that hit for like 5 damage but I ran out of a stack of 10 that was available. Much appreciated any advice.

Comment by gottabethebest1

Sjonnir has an ability that causes nature damage to himself apon application to the player. He seems to use this ability before 75% health, so I was playing the waiting game to see if I could get him down to 50% for Abuse the Ooze that way. Unfortunately it seems he doesn't use the ability after 75% health once the Troggs start coming out.

The tank should keep Sjonnir in the middle of the platform with the healer in the background.

Two DPS should kill the non-elite adds on either side as soon as they spawn, or the healer will be attacked.

Move away from from Sjonnir's Lightning Ring—it deals damage to everyone in melee range, but it will not last long.
