What Tank Should You Play in the Ny'alotha Raid?

Опубликовано 18.01.2020 в 03:13. Обновлено 18.01.2020 в 04:08 Panthea

IntroductionНи'алота, Пробуждающийся ГородВечный дворецВечный дворецНи'алота, Пробуждающийся ГородТревожный ревБлагословенная свободаХватка смертиAbout the AuthorTankNotesAcherusHammer of WrathCatalystImportant Tank Mechanics in Ny’alothaWrathion

The most notable mechanic on this encounter as a Tank is his Огненное дыхание which will deal a large amount of Magic damage and apply a stacking debuff to all players in front of him. Ensure that only the active tank is standing in front.

If any players are behind him, he will cast Удар хвостом which will likely kill non-tank players. Ensure all of your tank swaps are smooth to avoid Удар хвостом being cast on the raid.

On Mythic your movement will be limited as you will gain a stack of Slow from Сковывающее безумие. If you ever reach 50 stacks you will take a very large amount of Magic damage. Your positioning as a tank is vital for this as any unnecessary movements will also mean unnecessary movements for your raid.

Maut

There are various ways of handling this encounter where you either have a dedicated add tank or you alternate between the boss and the adds.

If you are tanking the boss, Темные раны will deal increasing amounts of Shadow damage.

If you are tanking the adds, you need to ensure that they do not complete a cast of Темное приношение which will give the boss 20% of their mana (which will make you enter Phase 2 prematurely). You will also need to ensure they are not within 20 yards of Maut as he will consume the add and all of their Mana (unless you are trying to enter Phase 2).

During Phase 2, you will need to soak the mana orbs that spawn from the edges of the room. Aim to soak them as fast as possible as they will deal damage to the raid based on how long they have been active for.

Prophet Skitra

Communication is very important on this boss as you may not be able to see some of the mechanics but other players can, and vice versa.

Throughout Phase 1 the boss will cast Иссечение души on players which will then create an add. Tank the boss on top of this add after it has finished casting Вспышка больного рассудка to allow for DPS to be effective.

Every 20% health the boss looses he will create images of himself and give the raid one of two debuffs. This debuff will allow the players to see half of the images. However each tank will receive a different debuff so you will need to communicate as to which ones you can see.

Dark Inquisitor Xanesh

The boss will knock back the tank when she casts Удар глубин. Ensure you do not get knocked off the edge of the room and die.

Ensure there is plenty of space around the boss so that when she casts Ритуал Бездны your raid members can stand within it. If one of these is inside of Azshara's barrier it's quite likely they won't be able to get it.

Ensure the boss is not positioned in the way of the Сфера Бездны as if any players are caught within the path of it, they will take damage from Отвержение.

The Hivemind

There is no tank swap during this encounter, however your positioning is vital. Unlike other encounters with multiple bosses you will need to be mindful which buff is active and this will dictate if the bosses should be together (Контроль над коллективным разумом: Тек'рис) or spread apart(Контроль над коллективным разумом: Ка'зир) .

Try and have the boss that the raid is killing on top of adds for efficient cleave DPS.

If you are tanking Tek'ris, ensure he is faced away from the raid so they do not have to avoid Нейтрализующий удар.

If you are tanking Ka'zir, ensure you call out when you need support with interrupting Выброс дурманящего яда.

Shad'har the Insatiable

The tanks on this encounter should be decided in advance. If you will be taking Сокрушение then you should be tanking the boss as well. If you will be taking Растворение then you will simply taunt for this debuff and survive the DoT.

During Phase 1 (Shadow) and 2 (Void) try and keep the boss in the middle to allow for the breaths to cover a small portion of the room and this will make it easier for your raid to dodge.

During Phase 3 you will want to tank the boss on the edge of the room and move the boss on each Бурлящее переполнение cast so that the raid is not standing in it.

Drest’agath

One tank always needs to be in range of the boss, else he will Хватка Бездны whoever is highest on threat and start to melee them which will likely kill them.

The tank swap on this encounter is simply done by the application of the Нестабильное семя. When this debuff expires it will apply Нестабильная порча on all adds and players including yourself. Ensure you do not hit the players in your raid with this as they may die from upcoming damage.

Vexiona

As with all Dragons, her notable tank mechanic is Сумеречное дыхание which will deal a large amount of Magic damage and apply stacks of Порча Бездны to all players in front. Ensure that only the active tank is standing in front.

One tank will be tanking the boss, the other will be tanking all of the adds. The most notable add during this encounter is the Void Ascendant, as when it dies it will drop a Дар Бездны. This will allow you to cast Аннигиляция and remove all of your Порча Бездны stacks.

Ra-den

The most notable mechanic on this encounter are the Essences which spawn from portals with pre-set positions. Your raid leader will have a set order in which they should die so if that orb is getting a bit too close to Ra-den be prepared to kite!

If you are not actively tanking the boss be prepared to pick the add(s) from the portal

When Ra-den reaches 100 energy in Phase 1, he will cast Нейтрализующий удар which reduces your max health.

In Phase 2 ,he will cast Удар гниения which will leave a DoT based on your remaining health after the hit. You will want to try and get intentionally low on health for this.

Il’gynoth

The tank mechanic on this encounter is Око Н'Зота which will deal a large amount of Magic damage and apply a stacking debuff to all players in front. Ensure only the active tank is standing in front. Be prepared to utilise defensive cooldowns for this.

During the intermission the Organs will need to be interrupted. It is likely the tanks will be assigned to their own one to keep interrupted. Ensure an interrupt rotation has been set up for this.

Carapace of N’Zoth

Positioning of the boss during this encounter is vital to ensure the raid is able to avoid the Tentacles slamming to the ground from the edges of the room (the locations of these can be determined by the shadows on the ground), and to optimize DPS.

Communicate with your co-tank when you are doing Sanity resets so that the boss doesn't try to follow the tank who is resetting.

The tankable adds on this encounter have very clear spawn animations. Be prepared to pick them up when they spawn.

N’Zoth

During this encounter you will be solo tanking different phases, so you will need to be comfortable with what is happening in each phase.

In Phase 1 (and the Mindscape in Phase 2) you will need to tank Psychus near the tentacles that are being killed as they will apply the Синаптический шок debuff to him. Making him die faster.

In Phase 2 (Physical Realm) you will need to ensure you get to the Basher tentacles as soon as they spawn so that the raid does not take damage from Хаотичный взрыв.

In Phase 3 you will need to position the Thought Harvester in a way that the damage done to it will cleave onto N'Zoth.

Closing Thoughts You can play any tank as long as you play it well.

Комментарий от DereticusTheir mastery works as an effective damage reduction against all sources of damage. It can, for simplicity sake, be considered like a second versatility, so long as their is not a healing reduction at play.
Add on resto affinity for the sake of it for some passive healing over time. and the possibility for group healing when needed.

And if you're going to mention barkskin, it's pretty stupid to not mention Survival Instincts.Your Mastery is Mastery: Nature's Guardian. It increases your maximum health and healing received, as well as your Attack Power. The exact increase amount depends on how much Mastery you have. For every 1% Mastery, you gain 1% increased health and healing, and 2% increased Attack Power. Guardians start with 4% Mastery baseline.

Notably, the increased healing component of Mastery: Nature's Guardian Icon Mastery: Nature's Guardian does not increase the healing from Frenzied Regeneration or Restoration Affinity, although it does affect the two spells in that both heals scale with maximum health, which is increased by Mastery.Attack PowerSharp brambles protect you, absorbing and reflecting up to (Attack power * 0.06) damage from each attack. You can go into all the detail you want, if the entire premise of what you're saying is false, it really doesn't matter, does it.Комментарий от DereticusRemovedКомментарий от thebdc* clicks on Tank Tiers explained *

Please rewrite this entire article/post to reflect the nature of raid tanking. The kind that involves pairing TWO tanks.

The article in it's current state has little to zero value, and as a "multi-tank" player myself there's lots more to cover regarding strengths/weaknesses of combinations.

The fact that you placed Guardian Druids in the "A" Tier is super laughable.Комментарий от Dereticus100% with you, Valtrex!

The first half is a list of the tank mechanics, and then brief list of the rankings, and then a in depth explanation of the rankings linked back to the mechanics. Providing the information to encourage players to form their own opinions and prepare their own tanks/raids.
And the reminder at the end that playing any tank well is better than playing the 'ideal' tank poorly. Some readers can't be happy.Комментарий от NahelaOne of the bigger magic damage mitigations from Paladin is Holy Shield, it's just not on demand.

Additionally, running 3x Grace of the Justicar and VoP major (with Hand of the Protector) puts out an incredible amount of sustain healing for your raid, something else worth noting.Комментарий от KaladosRemovedКомментарий от calmboarRemovedКомментарий от CarrionCarcassu put bear above Bdk? , this article is for sure wrong in every wayКомментарий от wakkawakka159Earthwarden for magical melees,Комментарий от deathlavitzPoor blood dk's bottom for m+ and raids for pugging according to these wowhead ratings. Nobody will take 'em to pug AOTC groups because they won't get invited for keys nor raids now. For all these rating articles are worth - play what you enjoy its a game. If you're getting paid chances are you you know everything in this already and its just a second opinion or something to use to strengthen your choice already made at this point. If you're playing at the top level for raiding, chances are you are already levelling what is it 3 tanks to stay invited in case your guilds decides to experiment?Комментарий от lovelywaz

As far as your point to Brambles... no. It absorbs and reflects Attack Power damage only, per Wowhead's ability entry:
