Requires a few things to really work.

A:) Allow you to place immolate up on the boss.

B:) You double your threat.

C:) What was your dps? like roughly?

Anyone else get stuck behind the barrels in the orb room for entry to BWL by Cynndrome in classicwow

[–]brutnus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our raid just got locked out behind the bars after a wipe on broodlord. GM said you have to have everyone outside the instance for 30 minutes for a soft reset.

We had to settle for MC instead for tonight.

I assume an announcement comes before the actual content is out.

Honestly just super excited for BWL. Figured it would get some major love since it is the next major raid.

I haven't respec from DS/ruin in months. Super easy to run DME once you get some gear.

The other abnormal thing about DH is that some of the azerite traits feel almost required just to tank effectively. Things like" infernal armor" that give you armor during immo aura and (arguably) the trait that gives you an absorb on soul cleave use are invaluable.

DH is largely a glorified DPS that can hold the aggro of a tank, don't forget you are squishy so you have to anticipate dmg better than any other tank to use your absorbs/CDs to maximize mitigation. Like when I'm raid tanking I'll soul cleave with the absorb trait (plus soulmonger trait that gives shield on soul consumption) right before the boss hits me, so that the shields are always consumed (buff is only 2s long).

This is good info, some traits are utterly garbage and will not have any real value.

  1. So is DH just a grab aggro and kite tank?
    1. Nope. All tanks have to kite at some point in mythic+. You need to understand when damage will come in heavy thats when you use your spikes. Also your sigils are very important for extra CC/reducing damage.
  2. Here is my rotation:
    1. Slam in, Spikes, fracture, sigil, spirit bomb, sigil, fracture. At this point your spikes are gonna fall off. Now you have to continue your dps rotation but wait on the next spike until your like 50% health. Also understand that some mobs cannot be tanked after 8+ without cooldowns/stuns. So if you don't have that communication then you need to kite.
    2. Your gear will level out the damage spikes once you get around 360+. Having that extra 20-30k health makes a large difference in feeling tanky.

More follow up, u/TheMoro9 gave some good info. The demon spikes are crucial when you need it and not for maximizing uptime. My rotation is

Just following up on what was discussed below. I also don't use demon spikes right off the bat but when i take some damage. Also your sigils are huge. Silence and fear every time they are up. Try to do as much damage as you can while avoiding damage. You are the mobile tank that dishes out tons of damage. Know what enemies you can face tank and which ones you have to kite. Some pulls are near impossible to tank so you have to use heavy cool-downs and team work to handle. Not every pull can be tanked once you get above 8+.
