Yeah...

But...

'Cept this toon is a re-roll (was playing a warlock) and... umm... I'm not "attuned" to T-5 and don't have a mag kill on my pally

=edit=

Or any 25-man Tier-4 kills at all, for that matter.

Was on Kael on my lock when I re-rolled tankadin. Skipped from Heroics/Kara to tanking at Vashj/Al'ar.

But may gem enchant my Mantle of Abrahmis into a +15 all resists piece.

Just curious, what do you guys do when the blue flames cross over each other how do you see where the blaze ends? After a bunch of attempts tonight my eyes hurt from all the colors.

[Devilheals]

If you can't see the blaze on the ground(you should be able too), go by the sound and the damage your taking. Also I wouldn't advise staying in double blues and waiting for a blaze to happen as that is a lot of damage that you most likely wont live through.

This is my FR gear http://www.warcrafter.net/sandbox/46013 If I dont have a chromatic flask I put a fire kit on my gloves and use a blue FR ring instead of the Band of Eternity and use a Fort flask. In both cases I am capped and uncritable.

Pop nightmare seed
Shout on vent im in double blue and the spare druid hots me up.

Have combat log open AND scrolling combat text going for the blaze at all times, the graphic on the ground is meaningless.

Has anyone noticed since 2.4 that these things are even more annoying, you take a step back a fraction early and it makes blaze 2395u1094u241 times as fucking wide as it should be

Trying this tonight.

Flamebane Helm - 3x(8 Def) & FR enchant
*Badge Chest - 150 Health
*Badge Gloves - 10 Stam
*Badge Legs - Clefthoof
*Badge Boots - 12 Stam
Quest Ring
Devilshark - FR Enchant

Kael Neck
T6 Shoulders
T5 Crafted Belt
Eternium Bracers
Eternal Ring
Scarab
Shadowmoon
ALD
Tempest

So that's what I went with but man my health was low.
The warrior I was with had similar gear but used Flamebane bracers instead of the ring and Commendation of Kael instead of the Shadowmoon Insignia but had like 2000 more HP without the imp and shout that he later got but I didn't.

All that aside the tanking went decent.
I had to mess around with my Spell setting a little so I could see what was going on.
I had one decent but short attempt, one 'way too late eye beam call" death, one bad turn that got some folks killed and one really nice atttempt.

So I think I have things down but I really wanna try to get more stamina somehow.

Swap your cloak for a FR one and switch to the quest FR neck, that should allow you to use your goggles gaining some stam. You'll probably need to switch your chest enchant to resiliance maybe.(I haven't done the numbers, just some ideas)

[Averroes]

Does anyone know how much the laser beam hits for? Or is it a one shot thing?

[Lucit]

~18k. Probably won't one-shot you if you're topped off, but you're extremely unlikely to live through it.

[Worldie]

20k unmitigated and unresisted.

You can survive 1 pulse. You won't survive 2.

I've never lived through being hit by one

If it's a progression kill, you'll get one-shot, you won't have (or need) 18k health.

Got to tank it last night, didn't go so well. I didn't read the entire thread first, so now I feel kinda dumb. Little stuff mostly, but learning about the flame-to-totem not flame-to-flame will make it a lot easier and I can talk with the other flame tank and we can explain to the RL that he's wrong.

The comedy point is the one time I was gettting it right, had a good minute of movement, I got an eyebeam up my ass. RL is asking why didn't I move out of the way when I saw the trail, I had to explain that the trail started where my body was. 18,886 hit. I was afraid that my stats wouldn't pan out but raid-buffed everything worked. I was at 346 FR and .41% crittable, but through a hodge-podge of gear.

Take a Chromatic resistance flask. Or do something to get to 365.

365 FR is a mandatory requirement for this fight as a flame tank.

I'm a massive fan of "get uncrittable", but capped FR is MUCH more important.

We have about 3 hours of attempts on Monday, with my internet connecting shot and other issue, we managed to at least kill 1 flame.

My current issue:

I simply cannot see where the edge of the Blaze is. I've maxed out resolution, maxed out everything, and still I cannot see it, therefore, I'm taking way more damage than necessary.

Is there a customized filter I can set in bold letter on whenever I get hit by Blaze in Mik's Scrolling Combat Text so I'll at least know when to back away?

[Cyberwaste]

I don't really think the blaze does enough damage by itself to kill you if you're FR capped. The problem lies in blazes stacking, because they can do that and if they do you'll probably be dead very quickly without extra heals.

I personally use scrolling combat text, and I can see when I'm taking blaze damage and thus when to back away. I also play with my sound effects on, so I can hear when I'm taking blaze damage as well.
