Kilrogg Deadeye tanking

[SimonVonLagMaat]

Hi all,

I'm the main tank for my guild, last week I brought my warrior to killrogg due to concerns over my monk's ability to survive, after trials with non-guild groups I don't have that concern anymore.

My main concern is for Kilrogg, as a warrior it is very easy to actively mitigate the shred defense ability with Shield block. Is there some strategy I don't know to mitigate it with my monk so my pally off tank can continue absolutely loving this fight, or should I just bring my warrior for kilrogg?

Elusive brew should do the trick I'm pretty sure.

You can take Chi Brew to make it easier (also to make sure you have EB stacks for it when happens). But you can just save EB stacks for it to avoid the dot.

chi brew should be enough to counter it if you have a decent amount of crit on your gear

Thanks all for the replies. You've assuaged my fears.

Just let the other tank take the boss and you take the adds?

This was our approach, but yeah Chi Brew to handle dry spells is the way to go otherwise.

I'm the main tank for my guild in 686 gear and have just used EB the whole time and very rarely gotten the debuff.

- Safe EB Stacks for Shred Armor
- Use Chi Brew
- Solo Tank the Add, and let the other Tank solo tank the Boss
- You cover the Debuff with a Cooldown

These are the 3 possibilities you have. Last one when you get the debuff by accident.

The "Use AM Thing" is crap for brewmasters. Every other AM is based on "Generate Ressources by using Spells and pay with them". BrM AM is based on RNG.

I agree it sucks that we have it based on RNG. However, on my monk I am at 23.52% crit and i manage to generate more than enough EB to cover everyone of them. I will say though that there are tanks like DKs that never have a challenge with this since they can always keep there AM going with blood shield.

Fyi there is a bug with monk weapons, Jab and eb generation. If you have a 2h, check your Jab icon. If it's a fist, you won't generate eb stacks correctly. To fix, equip and remove glyph of jab.

Chi Brew, I solo tank kilrogg this fight. Just save Chi Brew charges for Shred armor, nature building of EB stacks fills in gaps. Also at least on Heroic, 10+ charges of EB usually covers two Shred Armors. Mis and others will have to talk about Mythic Kilrogg.

Stagger don't count as an active mitigation anymore ? Not playing BrM

Oops, I can't read. Sigh.

why even bother with kilrogg? i tanked him for 1 try. got not a single stack of EB when he first cast his shred armor thing.
swiched with my cotank, specced chi ex and dmg trinkets. tanked add and dps everything else while waiting for the next add. easy life...

Because Mythic Kilrogg requires you to tank swap due to corruption from the add.

I ment shuffle obviously, since stagger is a passive.
