Tanking In The Dragon Phase

"Tank 3 in the rotation will be tanking Kalecgos for the longest period of time and thus should be your best geared tank."Focus is a powerful tool built into the default UI that I just don't use nearly as much as I should. A warrior tank really helps for this spot in the order, as he is the last one to go into a portal.With '/focus"" (and a number of key bindings), you can set up a ""focused"" target that, with one keypress or macro, you can snap back to and cast whatever needs to be casst. Improved Defensive Stance helps in mitigating the massive amounts of arcane damage he will be taking from the Arcane Buffets at that point (it will be stacked very high).Resto4Life has been putting together a great series on Focus and how to use it: They've hit on hibernating, healing with focus, and now using your focus' target to deal out debuffs. The situation is that you're in a raid and you're healing -- you have a little extra mana and you want to use it to throw debuffs on the main tank's target, but you don't want to miss a second of watching the main tank's bar. As soon as T1 (Tank 1) is ported back out of the demon phase, he needs to run and get into position to tank the dragon.Using macros, you can actually cast spells on your focus' target (in this case, your focus would be the MT) without ever changing targets -- just set up a macro to cast the spell, put the button on your bar, and rather than ever having to switch targets, you can just run a macro. As soon as he is in position, he needs to Taunt the dragon and commence tanking him.You can even use ""modifier:shift"" and ""modifier:ctrl"" to switch spells and/or targets.

It is very important to get the dragon off T3 as soon as possible, as by this point T3 will have the debuff stacked and be taking a large amount of arcane damage in addition to the dragon's melee. As soon as any tank exits the demon phase, they should immediately position themselves to tank the dragon and Taunt. The tanking rotation should go as follows: Portal 1: Tank 1 enters. Portal 2: Tanking does not change. Portal 3: Tank 2 enters. Portal 4: No tanks take portals, but Tank 1 should be back in the dragon realm and Taunt the dragon off Tank 3 (must be Taunted before Portal 5 appears). Portal 5: Tank 3 enters. You continue rotating in this fashion the rest of the fight.And with simple addons, you can watch your focus target even when you tab away. Focus is such a powerful tool that it's a little overwhelming to think of all the things that it can make easier in game. Tanks should keep track of the portal number, as you want a new tank going in every other portal to ensure a minimal amount of Arcane Buffet debuffs on your tanks. Note: If the first group teleported is the melee, you will need a healer to jump in with them as they probably will not have one assigned to their group.But whenever you're in a situation where you're always going back to a certain target (whether that be an MT or self or someone else in the group you're playing with) and can set it as focus, then you can often use macros or addons to make everything else easier after that." "This week, The Care and Feeding of Warriors talks about Expertise. If this is the case, the tank should wait until an adequate number of healers are in the demon phase to Taunt the demon for the first time.There's going to be a lot of math talk.

Kalecgos can tank the demon for a good amount of time before dying. " .It will probably have an error or two in it. Mr. Rossi needs to get some int gear for writing these columns. Expertise is useful for tanking and melee DPSing, so it seemed time to discuss it. Also, I've recently realized I can't actually hit the 'expertise cap' as a tank with the gear I can get. Sad but true. We live in interesting times since patch 2.3 here in warrior land. wow powerleveling Whereas previous to this patch, we had good old fashioned bonuses to our weapon skill (remember the old Edgemaster's Handguards. Admit it, you wore these at 60. Some of you wore them at 70. po wow You don't have to lie to us, we know.) we now live in the magical world of expertise rating and expertise. What is expertise, and what isn't it. Well, for starters, expertise is not chance to hit. gold f¨¹r wow Expertise can help you hit more often in an indirect manner... it reduces the chance for a mob to dodge or parry your attacks. so technically yes you'll be hitting them more often. eve isk But + hit items directly reduce the chance an attack will miss, which in World of Warcraft is entirely different from a dodge or parry (just ask any warrior trying to hit the Overpower button). Furthermore, expertise is not weapon skill. The expertise system replaced bonuses to weapon skill on items, but it did not actually replace weapon skill: weapon skill up to 350 (at level 70) still exists. des po wow Expertise is just (just, he says) a direct reduction of your chance to have your attacks dodged or parried. Unlike the old days with weapon skill bonuses, as far as I know there's no relationship between expertise and glancing blows. (If anyone out there has information that contradicts me here, please share it.) So if expertise isn't going to raise your chance to hit, why am I so excited about it. " .
