Tanking Illidan Stormrage - A guide for protection Paladins

[Elsie]

Since you added hunter debuff you might as well add Insect Swarm from druids. My resto druid actually has it.

[Worldie]

good point, added.

[fuzzygeek]

Reported for sticky?

[Lore]

Stucked since Worldie doesn't seem to want to do it!

[Morpheren]

[*] Shit, i got Shear: Ok, it happens

I dont know about anybody else, but I found this absolutely hilarious.

[Worldie]

I wouldn't have dared to stick a my own post <.<

And well, you'd be surprised of the amount of times i get distracted by something and get Sheared :<

My usual message on vent is "ok, i failed, save me"

[Eneroth]

All I can say is... /bow

That was a great movie and the way you held Illidan was great. Thank you very much for giving out this information. Now if only I could convince the RL, who in turn is the MT, to let me try.

Huge thanks to Worldie, first night on Illidan and wtf pawned him, great guide and thanks again, now to read ur Sunwell ones.

tbh i thought he would have been hard but guess not.

[Worldie]

Nothing is hard as long as you are prepared for it.

I'd make a "guide" for sunwell, but well we're still on Brutallus and i don't tank him, so might need a bit yet <.<

[Fangwui]

thanks for the guide. tanked him for a progression kill.

[Tekkel]

Aye it's a good guide. Pretty much figured all the stuff out from the 26 page post but this is so much easier. Tanked it again today and went down on the 3rd try. Had 3 disconnects on p4's which was quite shit but managed.

Has anyone else ever gotten agonizing flames while tanking him? I ended up dead in p5 last night when he enraged, had the flames debuff on me and also casted parasites. Nothing helped anymore.

Oh and we got our first legendary on our 2nd ever kill

[Worldie]

Yes you can get agonizing flames.
I'd recommend bubbling as soon as Demon phase starts.

[Afraithe]

Moroes trinket is the most overpowered item in this game.

I'd make a "guide" for sunwell, but well we're still on Brutallus and i don't tank him, so might need a bit yet <.<

Sunwell is basically just stacking your best avoidance and EH gear. Each boss fight requires a bunch of little tweaks, like +hit for Savrotharr and +armor/hp for brutallus, and +block rating for twins, and +BV on muru adds or SR on muru babies.

So very different from just Illidan =\. If people wanted, would writing a guide for each sunwell boss even be worth it? If so, I don't mind doing it.

[Spokish]

Excellent guide thank you for your work !
I still have a question for you. Can i go tank illidan without redoubt and shield specialization talents ?

I went for something like this
