everyone recommends tankspot for raid boss guides I recommend fatboss you guys keep a guide informative, and entertaining to listen to. you helped my guild down its first ever raid boss last night in the Stone Guard, and tonight you're going to help us down Feng the Accursed thank you for all your hard work
Wow, these have to be some of THE MOST enjoyable strats to watch that I've seen since TBC. This makes me wonder why the hell I ever liked watching Tankspot...oh wait...I never did. Thanks for being informative AND entertaining and not filling the videos with silence and awful techno.
I just have to say, I love hearing you guys talk. I'd listen to your guides even if I didn't raid. Oh and I like your guides. Super useful and easy to follow! Thanks for your hard work!
Hey, I just started a war arms about 3 months ago, and started tanking right before MoP. I came across your videos while trying to get some info on the fights for mt and your guys videos are extremely helpful. Unfortunately, we didnt finish the boss :[ but completely understood the mechanics of the fight. Subbed forever. keep it up guys and thanks for veeedeee O's
Great guide! I love how simply you broke it down by every single ability. This is going to be very helpful. Lots going on in this one but at least i'll know what to look for. Thanks again for sharing.
THANK YOU, my guild is stuck on the third phase and just can't seem to get past the last 5% but we were doing it a little bit differently so going to try this tonight and hopefully get a down!
Number 1: I'm american so ur accents sound fucking awesome to my ears. Second: Your raid guides are the best i've ever seen so i hope you guys keep doing them for a very long time. Thanks again, cheers.
Yes, you can steal the wilfire spark off of someone who has it and use it on Feng, You can take epicenter and deal some damage to feng (usually steal it before he switches to the next phase and stand right on top of feng to hurt him as much as possible). For the arcane velocity phase you can steal that (and after you do stand as far away from feng to deal the full damage) or take arcane resonance and use it on Feng and he'll take a certain amount of damage per tick for each person close to him.
Trinket procs on the pull would be a better DPS gain than last phase, no part of the fight requires Bloodlust nor merits it to make it noticeably easier.
LOL wow.....my guild's been all but one shotting this boss for the bast 6 weeks....and i just now learned about that Stacking Debuff on the tank. I've been the tank to pick up the shield, and i tanked the boss the ENTIRE time with no problem, though sometimes i noticed i got hit for a crap ton, but i always thought it was normal. Now that i know that there is a Taunt rotation, idk if we're going to change, but it was quite funny ordeal when i told everyone. Thankx guys for pointing this out!
I know, it's such a great looking UI! They have made a guide for their UI, but it's their Cataclysm version. Not much has changed, and you can still tweak it to get this look exactly. Look on their page, and it'll help you out.
no one ever mentions this but i found out yesterday (i take the reversal crystal in our raid) you can steal the fires from people in phase 2(the fire will still drop) and u can do a shit ton more damage with this, you can also steal arcane resonance(again it will still be on the the player after u steal) another really nice damage buff to make these last 2 phases quicker and easier....hoped this helped someone
Yes, in the second phase there is an attack called flaming spear it should be used on that and if used correctly your tank will do a decent amount more dps.
great guide, but you should have stressed a little on explaining more tank POV of SHROUD OF REVERSAL : 1. it's a channeled spell 2. you don't cast it on yourself, you cast it on the other tank 3. a macro would be very useful (set focus - MT/OT) : /tar [@focus] /click ExtraActionButton1 /tar lasttarget 4. a tricky situation is when you have the shroud spell, you have to taunt boss (stacks on MT/OT) and he casts fists on you. The other tank should position himself between boss and you for copy
For many bosses,it is loosing the stack overtime.a good example would be the Fatboss guide to grandempress shek'zeer.her power, eyes of the empress,would give a stack to the current tank.if this reaches 5, the tank will pretty much wipe the raid. and that is when the other tank comes in. He would taunt the boss off the first tank, Wait for the debuffs to fail, and then taunt the boss off the secondary tank. rinse and repeat.Another example is lei shan.from heart of fear.but u can watch it urself
Would be nice to get more information on when you have to use the extra action buttons, like when you have to use it so that you get his stun. and on what target you have to use the action button.
if you go to their channel, theres a video about the UI, they explain how the addons work, how to config them and why they are theres. they've been so kind to put a download aswell, but you'll have to update the addons yourself now :)
Bloodlust/timewarp/heroism is more eficient when the tank gets the shroud with the stun shockwave. He stuns the boss and enables the dps to tunnel vision untill the next epicenter. (everyone is static 100%) You should consider adding the fact that shroud of reversal has to be casted ON ANOTHER PLAYER.
I use that and I have the new Darkmoon spirit trinket, reforged into 7,5k spirit, 2010 haste and then into Crit/Mastery(50%). We heal with me (shaman), a monk and a priest. I'm on an average of 60k hps and they are on 30k each.
BL(with stormlash) should be used to max output not play catch up later in the fight. So BL'ing early when procs are available and everyone is alive will yield the best result.
if you remember to swap the healers between the spirit totems then mana will be no problem because you get a shit ton of mana regen in the spirit world
To be fair, our dps was slightly lacking during P2, so we popped lust after the 3rd draw flame (with bubble) so we didnt get the 4th one, which would cause flame stacks in P3.
How much time does the tank have to cast that shroud of reversal? Can they just cast it as the boss is channeling lightning fist, or do they have to start channeling before the boss starts casting?
The only phases tank need to change stacks are phases 2 and 3, phase one is easy to solo tank for crystal abilities. One tank can just focus of copying the lighting fist..
He has the glyph 'Telluric Currents' which gives him Mana when a Lightning Bolt hits an enemy. Do you use this glyph, too? If not I would recommend that to you :)
It's easier to have a DK solo tank the first phase withe the null barrier and having the off tank copy lightning fist from the targeted tank, makes a smooth tanking of phase one.
hi fatboss i have a question. our guild is having some trouble with his draw flame stacks, every time he has to absorb them hes ending up with 20-25 stacks. when you only get 15ish we even make sure no one is near the boss when he draws them but still gets 20+ how can we lower the stacks?
I'm having a lot of trouble using the shroud as a tank. I always interrupt the first epicenter no problem (I channel the first lightning fist on the other tank who's tanking the boss and am ready for that). Then other tank uses the barrier. However when I try to use the shroud a second time after a lightning fist, I ALWAYS get the other debuff that's the static thing that does nothing for epicenter :( How do I make sure I'm always channeling the lightning fist and not the static debuff?
how did the healing look for that fight? i play resto shaman and i was going at it around 40ish k hps (varies of course to the dmg phase) also i was wondering if your monk healer was doing an extreme amount of heals, I've heard that they where quite op for raid healing.
a general problem my group has is that the lightening fist cast is too fast, should I have my OT stop DPS and just focus on casting reflection on MT for the rotation that barrier isn't up? Also, lightening fists didn't cast every time, is RNG a bitch in this fight?
Hello fatbosstv my guild is on this boss now and you say we need to taunt off when we got 2-3stacks but when we do that it say its immune? what are we doing wrong?!
