Hey All,
I'm a raid leader in a casual 10m guild and we've been slowly progressing through T14 but recently have hit a wall on Blade Lord Ta'Yak. We attempted him last night and our first attempt went okay, we got to phase 2 and didn't wait to be healed up and too many people died on the run to him. Okay, no prob, we'll hang back abit or pop healing CDs to heal up before running through the tornado gauntlet. Unfortunately after that first attempt we didn't get back to phase 2 all night.
I think we all understand the mechanics and know what to do. There were definitely some unlucky things where everyone would be stacked up but only 3 people would get hit for some reason, we also had some attempts where multiple people got a tornado on them just as we needed to stack up. While those things are frustrating I think our biggest challenge is that our tanks take a TON of damage. We've never had a tank damage/healng issue so severe before. The tanks are taunting at 2 stacks but sometimes the MT(a Prot Paladin) gets one shot by the damage. Healers have zero time to react, the tank goes from 95% to dead from Overwhelming Assault. I know our tank's gear isn't amazing, he's been kinda unlucky compared to some of us, but we've never had such insane damage on him before, it almost seems like we're doing something wrong.
We've tried both 2 and 3 healing, hoping the phase wouldn't last as long with 2 healers, but most of the time it didn't matter due to tank death.
Here's a log from last night: http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/r...ses&boss=63664
Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!
