This is the blog on my character, Mordigen. He is a protection spec warrior, that is the MT for my guild Solrain Navy on the Sargeras US server. This is about some of the encounters I have had, and some of the things that I have learned.

Here we are again. Start at Gruul's Lair and clear the instance in around 1 hour, maybe a little more after 1 wipe on Gruul due to a nasty error on a shatter that wiped a few healers. Gruul's down second attempt, 2 of the same shoulders drop for druid warrior and priest. I get out /ro when my damn computer locks up. When I finally go off line, all the loot has been distributed and no shoulders for me again.

Oh well, he is dead and lets move on to Tempest Keep, we all vote yes and continue on. Once inside, trash goes exceptionally well, I get myself a new tanking ring from trash, and for once get the pulls perfect on the big birds. We move into Void Reavers room and have a little trouble on the first pull based on an immune banish for some reason. No problems on the rest and buff up for the boss.

We have moved to the new plan of 1 prot pally, 1 prot warrior, and 1 feral druid. We filled the raid with no extra prot warriors this time. This puts a little more pressure on the tanks since there are only 3, but all are well geared and prove to supply high threat. 1st attempt we start great, then a healer gets to far away and draws a arcane orb that kills the healer and a few melee. The tank rotation seemed to work good though. 2nd attempt, everyone gets drilled to stay close as you can for melee range and ranged to spread out and watch for orbs. We get the kill with 1.5 minutes to spare. We now have some tier 5 shoulders in the guild, even though none were for warriors, but I guess I have more shots at that to come.

So once again with help from people here at Tankspot, and a good performance when everyone pays attention and listens, with few deaths and time to spare we have a guild first kill again since the few months when we first killed Gruul. So now time to keep on with what we can do and we are going to try Mag this week as well. Thanks again everyone.

    We just tanked them close to where they start, away from ranged and healers, melee tries to run out during the arcane explosion, and tank reflects any of the overcharges. If you hit spell reflect when you see him start casting it you have plenty of time, and not only do you not take the damage but you also deal a nice little bit back at him. Some arcane resist gear can help if you are having trouble with them as well. Make sure you are reflecting the overcharge and not the arcane explosion.

    forgot to mention to make sure you separate the double pulls so both tanks aren't taking arcane explosions.
