Strategy

This is a contested x2 Caterpillar that has two adds. He spawns every 6-7 days behind Cazic Thule over where Agony and Vaz'Gok the Cursed spawns. The Poison AE isn't hard as long as your casters stay at max casting range. All melee should feel free to move in as long as they are aware that this mob is immune to piercing.

Resistant to cold/magic and immune to piercing.

This mob is very easy to do with two full groups and almost always drops a Master Chest. Have most of your force close to the Agony spawn point and let the tank pre assign a place that he will be tanking. When the tank pulls he needs to pull it to the pre assigned spot and make sure to keep it away from casters. While the AE wont kill casters in 1 hit, it will eventually kill them if proper range isn't maintained.

This mob is very resistant to Cold and Magic damage so Casters should be using Fire, Poison, Disease, Mental and Divine as often as they can. Acrimoniad is also piercing immune so Melee DPS should be using slashing or crushing and any bow users should equip Crushing Arrows.

Acrimoniad does medium melee damage so the tank will need at least 2-3 healers assigned to keeping him up. If you have a Templar have him use Mark of Kings to help keep the Melee DPS in health. Burn down the adds first because the damage the tank takes after those are down is very low.

Overall this is a fairly direct fight with no real tactic other then caster ranged and kill fast. Your guild or pickup group is likely to kill this mob on your first attempt is you can keep the tank up and keep the casters ranged.
