Magmadar

[Parasite_]

Well... I am one of the tanks in a somewhat relaxed guild on the european server Daggerspine.

We started doing MC a couple of weeks ago, but since we had an unfortunate even regarding the looting of Lucifron, we only have one tranq shot

We tried Magmadar anyhow, and were promptly stomped into the ground
(Best was 74% =P)

We are planning on another run tomorrow, with (we hope) 2 tranq shots.

It seems the Alliance can bypass his fear with the dwarven fear ward, and it is this fear that troubles me. I really don't know how to keep the MT up and running without him getting feared all over the place every 30 seconds.

If anyone on this forum could share some experience on this subject, it would be appreciated.

only "difficult" thing it's healing rotation for healer, after that can be easy do with tank who switch stance to avoid fear or shaman with tremor totem (for that you must tell the raid to stop to nuke for 1 sec after fear allarm).

[Av]

Have a main tank switch to berserker stance and use berserker rage every 30. Meanwhile, have all other warriors stand on the sides of him to simply TAUNT him when he goes into a frenzy. This relieves a lot of pressure for the maintank as his hp won't drop from 100-0 in half a second.

Try it out!

we've done it fairly easily without fear ward, and we dont' have WOTF and tremor totems. Use your imagination.

We had problems with Garr but took him down this tuesday with only 1 warlock.

[^Deman]

Its our second Mc week/run and we had like 8 wipes so far at Garr but every attempt is getting better .. hes a pain in the ass for sure

[Myrsnipe]

to the OP, are you in that guild where a warrior looted the tranq shot?

[dNa]

We also faced a lot of problems with Garr with only 1 Warlock(thats me), but we can handle him now last run we wiped once than we got him down.
Its all about the pull if our hunter pulls good we get him down easy if not(usually the case -_-) he is hard.

Mag is kinda easy with 2 tranq shots, but you can also make it with 1 shot.

switching to berserker stance to use berserker rage before magma fears is probably the best thing. Another way is to assign one person to dispel the fear. I know many people in europe do it like that but i have never done it before with my guild and I think berserker rage is safer.

1 warlock shouldnt be a problem for garr
have 7 warriors tank the adds (we usally enter MC with 8 warriors) and assign the warlock to constantely banish one add.
Only problem is when banish doesnt work :P.
So i guess having 2 or more WLs is safer. But even with 2 or even 3 warlocks we only banish 1.

Not banishing as many as possible is pure stupidity.

Agree, to have 4 warlocks and banish 1 add only is waste of time -_-

[Dunderdon]

well we had trouble banishing so many
it was easier just tanking everything
i agree that you should banish more with 4 warlocks, but i think 2 are enough.
our problem was that when we banished as many as we had warlocks they started breaking out and attacked casters. Ok it is probably just because our warriors are too slow or the warlocks are too dumb =).
But it was just an idea to help other people since it definitely works better for us.

I dont really see why it is "a waste of time" ?
It just takes more healing. You gonna have to kill them anyway.

[^Deman]

3 warlocks -3 banished -2 till Garr dies...setup before the fight every target to the warlocks,3 tanked by warriors the rest is killed movie coming soon among with Geddon

[Dunderdon]

yepp i understand but like i said we had trouble with adds which broke out of the banish and attacked.
Dont ask me why. Of course banishing as many as possible sounds better but it just did not work for us that well.
