Tanking the Spine of Deathwing Part 2
Last week, we spoke of the components that make up the fight atop Deathwing’s spine so now we’ll push onto how these elements come together to make up the fight. At the start of the encounter, the group will want to kill off three of the four corruption tentacles, with the tanks temporarily holding [...]
Tanking Spine of Deathwing Part 1
Moving onto the big bad himself of the expansion, we come at last to some of the most interestingly designed encounters of the expansion and perhaps the game. The fight with Deathwing will last through two entire boss encounters at the end of the Dragon Soul instance, the first of which we’ll be covering today [...]
Tanking Warmaster Blackhorn
Welcome to Warmaster Blackhorn! Engaging with this encounter will remind you a lot of the airship battle from way back in Icecrown Citadel. Similar to that fight, one of the big things that you need to watch out for is that the ship that you’re on, the Skyfire, has it’s own HP bar and if [...]
Tanking Ultraxion
We come to Ultraxion, the fifth fight in the Dragon Soul raid instance. This is a fight that follows a fairly stable formula throughout with only a few small quirks to mar the simplicity. The fight swaps in and out between the Twilight realm and the regular realm, with the switching being handled by a [...]
Tanking Hagara the Stormbinder
Heading into the fourth boss of the Dragon Soul raid encounter, we run into a fight that’s kind of fun if everyone’s on the same page but can be incredibly frustrating if that’s not the case. The problem is that while she has a number of mechanics to watch out for during the course of [...]
Tanking Yor’sahj
Yikes. As we move onto the third boss of the Dragon Soul raid encounter, we really see them rachet up the complexity of the fights to a startling degree. You’d think that they’d give us at least one more boss to acclimitize or something! But nevertheless, let’s dive right in. The third boss is Yor’sahj [...]
Tanking Warlord Zon’ozz
Welcome back to our happy little romp through the Dragon Soul raid instance. Hopefully, we’ve all had the chance to mop the floor with Morchok a little bit and maybe even land a kill? In any case, we’ll be moving straight along to the second boss of the instance and pushing onto the fight with [...]
