LK25, Spike dmg on tanks

[Deleted]

So, basicly as far as i've read blizzard was supposed to get less spike-damage. Over the ~20 tries we made past 4 hours, we have gotten arround 50% of em in which the tank is going down, fast... real fast.

In less then a second.

What do you do about it, and is it usefull to somehow use 3 tanks?

The answer is in the log you posted. The other tank has to taunt when LK uses Soul Reaper, you have 5 seconds.

Otherwise the same tank will take the Soul Reaper damage and possibly a melee hit too. 2 tanks is enough. We did 10 man with one.

It's the Soul Reaper, an ability putting a DoT with 60k damage every 5 seconds and a debuff with 300% physical damage taken on the tank, both last for 5 seconds.
The best solution is: Have a Defwarry spec into Safeguard. He intervenes the maintank --> eats the melee hit and reduces the damage coming from the DoT itself.
If you don't have a Defwarry, you have to switch tanks everytime the LK casts Soul Reaper.
Your tanks should watch their debuffs when dieing -.-

Totally off topic, but what is that addon to the left with the numbers running on it. I see it in almost every SS these days and have no idea what it is.

Only addon on the LEFT is Prat :P Further it could be recount/ DVE. Got DVE only for LK "Defile on me" :P

@all these people talking about taunt:
The application of Soul Reaper in 25 man (read: the second you get the debuff), he also deals 50% weapon damage as Shadow (not reduced by armor) which can be up to 40k. This along with a melee hit can kill any tank if they are not aware and have cooldowns for it along with cooldowns of your priests and paladins. And this is basically the reply. Rotate cooldowns when the Soul Reaper timer is up AND taunt after the tank has the debuff. The 60k damage after 5 seconds is not what kills the tanks if they taunt properly but the initial shadow damage.

Also, soulstone tanks and keep battle rezzes for them. Our MT died twice in our last 25man kill.

//edit: Haven't looked at the screenshot before. It was a taunt fail indeed since it was the DoT damage, however the information above is still correct.

Okay, we are using 2 disc priests and 2 paladins, they are chaining their cds on the main tank but he keeps dying and we got a ot that taunts when LK starts to channel his soul reaper or whatever

We have 2 warlocks that puts 2 ss on him every try and still we keep wiping due to tank dying.

We are using a DK tank http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sh...nas&cn=Mubbles

So, I wonder what the hell are we supposed to do?

[puddlecakes]

Looks to me like the DK tank might need a little more armor? 55% damage mitigation isn't enough? He needs to be maxed out IMO.

As a DK, I would be able to solo tank p2 with those 4 CDs. Soulreaper hits every 30s, its on a timer.
1st SR -> Hand of Sac + Vamp Blood + AMS ( For 60k hit )
2nd SR -> IBF
3rd SR -> Hand of Sac + Vamp Blood + AMS
4th SR -> PS
5th SR -> PS + Vamp Blood + AMS
6th SR -> IBF
7th SR in p2-> Wipe to enrage prolly. ( You can keep this cycle up indefinitely).

Armor Count is fine. Just need proper planning.

Please use your brain before posting. He will gain nearly 60% armor from Frost presence, bringing his armor close to 30k.

[Ishixaph]

We've got LK to 15% now, he was using the rotation you mentioned Destinyx. We'll prob kill him any try now.

But the tank still dies every now and then... :/

Would a Druid tank be better?

[DesT.]

Druids can survive the Melee / Soulreaper application / Melee / 60k hit better then a DK can. DKs can mitigate the 60k hit and lol @ Arthas. I have like 42k armor raid buffed in my blood spec, I take less damage then a bear overall, but the insane HP pools of bears would be better for this fight.

[Ishixaph]

Yeah and well the trinket from sindragosa have to be awesome on this fight!

Well 3 more tries with wipes @ 15% =( he is bad ass!
