Ow, ye I'm talking Heroic Siegecrafter though
Which I imagen isn't to much different but going 8 stacks requires some pretty serious external cooldowns which we don't have that many of in 10 man
(on heroic that is). Or maybe I need better healers but the times I got the 5th stack last night every other attempt I'd feel my buttcheeks clinch.
Have to say though so far that fight on heroic.... bah bah bah bah! It'll surely take us more then 1-2 resets to get this thing down I'm sure... I didnt even get to a point where I'd get to truely practise shit as a tank... Fucking belts fucking up all the time (I know Gliff, you warned me
).
I'm a bit curious though, after the "reset" so you go to 4 stacks IIRC do you still tank the add with the boss? The tactic we've choosen and I believe is the most popular is kill the first one away from the boss, and after that keep them all near the boss and just power through the heal. I've noticed though that when someone fucking pulled RIGHT before I would (and they'd get the first stack) i'd end up with 4 stacks on the 2nd shredder (this is generally where everything went to shit) but 4 stacks seemed pretty meh, for killing it on time. That said I didn't actually get to truely try due to pretty much wiping before the.... Jump thing they do which makes them take loads of damage (Death from above i think it's called?).
Anyhow as for you spacebubble, Yellow I socket with Parry/Dodge (keeping them even is a small gain but it's still a gain). Red is Parry and Blue depending on the socket bonus I generally put Parry/Sta or Parry/Hit (but i'm so far over hit... it's stupid :@). I'm most likely a bit of an outcast because I pretty much NEVER break a socket bonus, eventhough I gues I should sometimes, I'm just a sucker for "free" stats, even if their not optimal :x
You could however enchant your gloves with Exp and your bracers with Dodge, minor improvements but they count. Secondwind is the worst talent of that tier, I run with Victory Rush but I know plenty run with the Regen (i've never liked it much for 10 man).
