So quesiton about threat on him becuase i accidently pulled off the MT and they go oh yeah nice taunt i was just dpsing ya know in prot gear.

And i'm like I didn't even taunt... Does anyone know if that boss is even tauntable?

As far as I can tell, every single boss is now tauntable in 10 and 25 mans.

Yep, so far I've been able to taunt every boss in heroics and 10mans.

My usual strategy in normal instances was charge + taunt to give me the cover of the 3sec debuff incase I got a miss on my initial Shield Slam. I'm glad to see it still works on these bosses.

Sapphiron is actually not tauntable.
He is the only boss in naxx which is not.

Judgement of Light on Sapphiron = WRONG if you arent tanking.

Turn off rightous fury and chain salv yourself.
JoL is amazing healing for this fight and with salv running + no RF you will not pull aggro and if your getting close which can happen just judge something else or stop attacking

Have any of your raids had issues keeping up with the raid damage going around in this fight? Not counting the chill spell (which can be avoided), the frost aura seemed to be ticking us harder than we were prepared for yesterday. We were in a mix of nax purps, northrend blues and T6.

Thoughts?

Have a little FR on everyone (no need to stack, just a piece or two if you can get it), auras, and so forth. May as well keep it under 100 for the achievement while you're at it. Make sure everyone brings cold protection potions, that your healers are competent, and you're good to go. Shouldn't be that difficult if you already have Naxx gear.

Sapphiron and Patchwerk are immune to taunt. I believe everything else could be taunted.

quick update:

2x disc priests (lol unlimited mana)
1 resto shammy
1 holy paladin

We downed Sapph after about 7 quick wipes, each successively better attempts. It was basically people not getting caught in the Chill debuf, people getting behind the LoS iceblocks and GG.

The healing is obviously the hardest part of this fight.

I was the NOTTANK last night. No righteous fury, doing JoJ and aggro was fine. I do have to salv our tree/oomkin hybrid though.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Lots of raidwide damage potentially, so this could generate quite a bit of threat.

As an OT if you must JoL on sapph (don't know why you would though), just make sure the War is using vigilance on you. His threat will be stupid high.

Back on mother Sharaz the war MT would vigi me and i'd use JoL and he was over 4ktps for most the fight. I'd salv myself if needed, but with that kind of threatgen it was rarely needed.

Now if you're using a bear or DK MT, just don't use light.
