Fight that alternates between 2 phases. The fight unfolds in that order: P1 - P2 - P1 - P2 - P1
In P1 you fight the boss near elemental altars. He gets specific abilities based on the altar he's closest to. You should visit 2 different altars each P1.
The longer you stay at an altar, the more damages the raid takes while that altar is active, so you should not revisit them.
At 100 energy, Kurog becomes immune and P2 starts. 2 adds spawn based on the altars you visited in the previous P1. Once they're dead, P2 ends.
After the second P2, one last P1 starts. Finish Kurog before he enrages and kills you.
P1: Upon entering an altar, Kurog summons an add. Each add has a lethal frontal cone and 1/2 spells, some from Kurog's spellbook (as if the fight was missing abilities already).
P2: each add gains a specific ability from Kurog on top of existing Heroic abilities.
