Malygos and Sartharion
Posted 01-03-2009 at 02:06 PM by Thist
So I tanked this encounter yesterday, and we downed it after a few tries, but it really is a bit of a pain, both for warriors and tanks in general.
For warriors - Improved Spell Reflect is simply too good for this encounter for you to not go respec for it, especially when learning it and with only 2 healers and a few lower dps.
For all tanks - You better be able to see things well. Macro /script SetCVar ("cameraDistanceMax",45) and click it, then change it back to 15 (default) afterwards if it starts to bug you when you look like an ant in Dalaran.
Also for all tanks - Whence come the sparks??? A very important question. Try get at least one other zoomed out person to help you look for them, especially for the ones that come from behind you. And calling out "north north!" instead of "spark coming from north" or "run to the north" is not helpful.
Also also for all tanks - Moving the dragon - you need to move the whole dragon quickly, without facing it towards the raid, trying to get it on the other side of the last landed spark so they stack, without dying to blows to your back, and please still generate high threat too.
Deathknights can help move the sparks, but we didn't have one, and previous disastrous attempts with one included him also taunting Malygos, which didn't work out so well.
Now for Sartharion - I was tanking the one drake we left up, the druid tanking Sarth. The fire elementals not being tanked and owning the raid brutally. We have 2 healers and nobody who is remotely able to offtank anything in the raid - no plate wearers, no suitable pets, nothing! Is it possible like that? We gave up and killed the drake, but there must have been a way? One tank tanking both didn't work, we tried that before. Healers can't heal through people having Sarth/drakes faced at them either. How do you do it???
