Group Composition:

• Soldiers: 2-3 tanks, 2-3 conquerors and randoms
  
• Healers: 1 pom, 1 tos, 1 bs and 1 or 2 healers outside the tank group
  
• DPS: 1 or 2 necros, 1 or 2 demos, and wathever you please
  

Positioning:

The tank group will take aggro were Yakhmar stands and stay there all the fight. All the others will stay at 30m from the boss and wait for the spawn of the adds. You can use 1 or 2 melee dps (Assassins and Barbarians are the best) positionend under the belly of the boss to rise your dps and even 2 ranged dps always taking care of the boss, however you must be at max 10 players inside 30m range from the boss or it will enrage.

Tactic:

The tank group needs only to tank the boss where it stands, the other dps on the boss will do dps asap the tank has generated enough threat. All the others will stay at 30m from the boss and wait for the adds to spawn, whent the adds spawn demos and necros will pull them toward the main dps group where they will be killed, rangers and spare soldiers need to make sure that those adds escaping on the tank group are quicly pulled away and dealt with outside the 30m range from the boss.

It's imperative to not deal fire dmg on Yakhmar! If you deal fire dmg on him he is going to enrage and use his stun ability that will cause a lot of problems to the raid (the spell is called Yakhmar's Lullaby and hits everything in the cave). If you have hoxs specced Avatar with Improved Fiery weapons make sure that they aren't in the same group of those attacking in melee the boss, everyone that is dealing dmg on the boss has to avoid entirely any source of fire dmg (even procs on equipment), demos should not use fire dmg pets or at least should put them in passive mode.

The adds are subject to every crowd control so you can easly kill them, beware they do not hit as hard as before but can easly kill cloth characters if not managed properly. They do not suffer anymore increased damage from fire and poison 1.05.

The fight is easy and can be done even with a non-optimal raid or with fewer characters. Essentially this fight is an endurance, you can take your time to kill the boss, no need to rush if you do not have enough dps to kill him quickly you should not have any problem anyway so take your time.
