Just wondering if anyone has used any other class/strat besides a war/frost dk on the arcane adds. We used a frost dk last week and got the kill but he is no longer with us, struggled a bit tonight.

I've seen tanks pick them up just fine. DK/Pally/Monk tank will have an easier time getting agro on them. Get a ring of peace/solar beam up so they move to the tank, then stun and AoE them on top of the kill head.

On 25, we brought a 3rd tank who happened to be a warrior it went just fine.

We use a ret pally that toggles RF on when picking up adds.

I assumed Ret Pally was bundled in with Warrior and DK under the "plate class with a threat stance" group, or they don't have one. It's the obvious solution if they do though.

We usually did it with a DD DK. This week we have done it with me as a Brewmaster, i picked them up and AoEd them down very fast with KS. The Key of that Strat is that u can handle the Silence with a Beam or a RoP when the Tank has them its quite easy.

It is always more viable to bring a 3rd tank on 25-man.

What? No. Why on earth would you need a third tank. THat just means lower DPS on the heads. The worms cast their damage spike spells on random targets, not their aggro target. And their melee hits are literally 8-10K tickles. We just use a dps warrior popping mocking banner to gather them up, done.
But regardless, ANYONE can gather them up, as long as you let them do the majority of the AOE.

All I was saying is that any strategy that involves a 3rd tank is more viable on 25-man than 10-man. Suggesting a guild takes a 3rd tank to a 10-man encounter with the justification that it works on 25-man is not a useful suggestion.

I am not in any way suggesting that you should bring a 3rd tank to heroic Megaera on 10 or 25.

Thanks guys. Think we'll do feral or ret with RoP.
