Operator Thogaris the second boss of the Iron Assembly wing of the Blackrock Foundry raid, and can be accessed after players defeatBeastlord Darmac. Thogar can be found in the Foundry Terminus, overseeing the trains that supply the Foundry.
This Blackrock Foundry raid strategy guide provides an overview of killing Operator Thogar for raid leaders as well as specific tips for tanks, healers, and dps. It also includes information on harmful trash, and screenshots of harmful abilities.
This guide provides an in-depth look at Normal and Heroic difficulties, with summaries of changes in Mythic and Looking for Raid difficulties.

There are achievements for killing each Blackrock Foundry boss, as well as Highmaul bosses, on Mythic difficulty. Killing every boss rewards Mythic Draenor Raider, which allows you to place a special monument in your Garrison.
The trash leading to Operator Thogar consists of the same adds that players will encounter during the Operator Thogar fight, so players can use the trash as a learning opportunity.
Melee must be careful to stay behind the Man-at-Arms to avoid Reckless Slash damage. Interrupt the Firemenders' Cauterizing Bolt when possible.
Ranged DPS and healers should be spread out to avoid splashing Throw Grenade damage. Ranged DPS should focus on killing Iron Gunnery Sergeants when they are active.
The Gunnery Sergeant will lob three bombs at this target
The bombs deal damage and knock back any players standing in the impact zone
The targeted player should move away from the raid to place the Siege Bombs in an out-of-the-way area
Do not return to the raid until all three bombs have been placed
One minute after the Siege Bombs land, they will detonate, dealing very heavy Fire damage to all players within 8 yards
It is important for players to move away from Siege Bombs that are about to detonate. This is much easier if the original Delayed Siege Bomb target has placed the bombs carefully.
The Operator Thogar encounter is a single-phase fight with a heavy emphasis on adds management, target prioritization, and raid awareness. Players fight Thogar on the tracks of the Foundry Terminus, and must dodge the deadly trains that hurtle across the tracks throughout the encounter.
The most important mechanic of the encounter is avoiding the Moving Trains. Any player struck by a Moving Trainwill die unless they have a powerful survivability cooldown or immunity effect active.
There are four train tracks that cross the encounter area, and in this guide they will be referred to by numbers as illustrated in the diagram, right.
Moving Trains
Occasionally, some trains will stop on the tracks and provide reinforcements - adds - that players must also defeat. The adds in this fight are identical to the trash in the zone leading up to Operator Thogar:
Iron Crack-Shots will Shoot Rifle at their current threat target, and Throw Grenades at random players
Grom'kar Firemenders will cast Cauterizing Bolt, which damages and then heals enemies; this can be interrupted or the Cauterizing Bolt buff can be dispelled from affected enemies
Grom'kar Man-at-Arms will attack tanks and melee with Reckless Slash, and will damage the entire raid with Iron Bellow
Iron Gunnery Sergeants man cannons on train cars and lob Delayed Siege Bomb at players
See the above Notable Trash Mobs section for tips on dealing with these enemies.
During the fight, these adds come in three different group configurations:
4 Iron Crack-Shots and 12 Iron Raiders
2 Iron Crack-Shots, 2 Grom'kar Firemenders, and 1 Grom'kar Man-at-Arms
