Wow, this came up a lot faster than I expected... who knew I'd ever be posting this when we first started in on Hydross and Magtheridon?

Usual caveat the EJ threads tend to contain the entire evolution of the fight, I usually read from the last page backwards.

....I knew

Sounds like its more about avoidance than mitigation for you, Nort. What with that shear being a bitch.

Gonna have to get Wildeyez and Tier some fire resistance tank gear.

One of our warlocks kept their shadow tanking gear?

Theres a lot going on in this fight.

[attic]

One of our warlocks kept their shadow tanking gear?So "the incident" with Zhek is now a Good Thing(tm)?

[Zhek]

no, although it was thought to be at the time, however "The incident" resulted in a set of fire resist gear, and as it turns out the warlock tank needs shadow resist, we all have shadow resist.

[Lad]

Shit, you're right.

You were not prepared Nortibiry.

From the EJ thread I thought both of these diagrams were potentially instructive:

Phase 2 (http://elitistjerks.com/577666-post382.html)

Phase 4 (http://elitistjerks.com/671050-post593.html)

I've found [Flask of Chromatic Wonder] (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=33208) very useful as a feral flame tank (18 sta/str/agi on top of the FR) for making up some of the stats I lose, it also lets me replace an entire FR piece with a normal tanking piece, which more than makes up for Sta/Def difference from a Flask of Fortification.

I liked this suggestion for some reason. For Wildeyez and Tier, it might be worth looking in to.

[Tierran]

Yeah, I'm at 261 so with the flask and resist aura/totem, it'll be 366. If that doesn't work, then I'm not sure how I'll remain uncrittable and get to the cap. Likely have to do lots of pvp and get a weapon with resil on it or something like that.

[Nortibiry]

Since the patch hit, broiled bloodfin should now be available for a +8 resist all well fed buff. I'd say just try it below the cap though, people ALWAYS say you have to be at the cap, and in my experience you really don't.

[Etrigana]

Also might look to put 15 resil or 15 defense on your chest to help hit that cap. I dont know if you did that or not...but thought Id throw it out there as a suggestion :)

p.s. I am so bored...
