    I think we could convince our Ret-Paladin to get onto his Spriest for the fight. Thanks for the advice, I'll ask them to try out two healing as well.

    4/7 Fireland now, after 2-3 weeks of bad attendance and having down Beth down, in 1 week we blew through 3 bosses. Just gotta work on that crazy bitch bird now.

    Baleroc was surprisingly fun and easy (for tanks, at least, I seriously had no idea what the DPS were doing and why they kept saying switch, didn't read the mechanics on that). Initially I was the main tank + inferno blade eater as DK but when the Warrior tank had issues getting healed back up after eating Decimation Blades we swapped, but before that happened I was surprised at dishing out 15k DPS as tank. Outside of Vegenance I'm not aware of any DPS increasing buffs I get for the fight.

    After the swap it was even more laughable, when I took decimation blades it was funny to see the RNG being kind to me and I parry/dodge and just shrug off the attacks.

    On our kill:

    Got Baleroc down to maybe 30% before the main (Warrior) tank died. I took over all tanking duties from that point.
    At that point in time, I was sure that I did not have enough HP to survive the Inferno Blades even with Magic Shield up.
    Luckily, he just Decimation Bladed which I've saved my cooldowns for, and deflected all his swings during that time lol
    Hit the berserk timer and I went down, but the boss had only 50k HP left by then, and we won! Shite drops though, the axe which went to a Shaman and the shoulders cloth

    I'm confident I can single tank this and have the warrior go DPS, but I gotta wait 2 odd weeks for that now, people are on holiday again.

    You can, we 1 tank with a pally and destroy him with 2.5 min left on berserk timer. Our group isn't intelligent either.

    Have fun with Alysrazor. That feathered fucker will make you hate life.

    On Paladin I can imagine using Ardent Defender will make life extremely easy, and I think I can bubble for one even?

    Anyways, with Alysrazor, I've watched the tankspot video guide. The air fight thing makes me feel like I was fighting a last boss in Sonic Adventure 2 or Zone of the Enders, but as tank on that fight I don't see much difficulty on stuff I need to do. Grab bird, feed bird when it Tantrums, kill bird, chase the tornado, weeee, pull add during burn phase and interrupt, turn boss away from raid and trade tanking for a while, repeat. Right? lol

    I guess the ballache is the DPSers in the air?

    The flying isn't bad. The main sticking point for most groups seems to be one of two things. People are retarded, and can't avoid tornadoes. Either that, or the tanks don't put out enough DPS to kill their adds before the tornado phase.

    Ah, so those 2 things...

    The tornadoes look really easy, just need to hope one doesn't spawn right on top of me before I can find a path.

    As for DPS, providing I stand still most of the time and only move to feed the bird, as I proved on Baleroc I can peak 15k DPS doing my usual thang but it'll probably be maintained to 13-14k overall. Is that sufficient after the 1000% buff? I'm not sure what DPS I need to be aiming for on a base level prebuff before I can take those birds.

    if you're somehow pulling that much dps as a tank, yeah you'll destroy it. Myself and another dps usually fight our tank's bird between initiates, since our dps is high, just to help out. But like Viq said, people are retarded and can't run from tornadoes. There's just a lot of little things that can go wrong in that fight, and not to mention it's somewhat long. Snag 2 dps trinkets for that fight just to push your DPS a bit higher.

    As for the tornadoes, they only do 40k each time you hit one, so if you get hit initially when they come out it shouldn't be the end of the world. Just wait for one to pass you then follow it. when another passes by you, spin around follow that one, etc.

    The trick for tornado's is this, it made it really simple for us and its impossible to fuck up (dunno if you already know it):

    When they spawn, follow behind one tornado... then, when another passes, switch and follow behind that one. You end up doing a giant circle and never get hit. makes it simple

    Don't switch over the next lane too fast tho, or you clip the one passing and die... I've done this twice now.

    Beat Alysrazor tonight, brings us to 5/7. Seriously, fuck her. Our winning run was as clean as they get, lost nobody at all. Bracers dropped for my rogue, woop. Running the tornadoes is like watching a bunch of kids run around a flag pole.
