Heroic Changes
When Kurog enters an altar, he applies a stacking vulnerability to the raid for 20s. Let it fade before switching altars.
Kurog gains a new ability at each altar.
Frost altar: soaking both meteors at the same time will freeze you and likely kill you.
In P2, the fire add now also spawns minions that must be kicked.
Mythic Changes
P1: Upon entering an altar, Kurog summons an add. Each add has a lethal frontal cone and 1/2 spells, often a copy of Kurog's abilities.
P2: Each add gains an ability that Kurog uses while at the corresponding altar in P1.
In Mythic, you should only visit 1 altar each P1. First go to the Fire Altar. Then the Earth Altar. And finish with the Frost Altar.
At the end of the first P1, right after Kurog reaches 30 stacks of the Fire Altar, move him into the Storm Altar to ensure you get the Fire and Storm add in the following P2.
