[10/25] Sarth 25m 3D 4 tank Strat (with taunts for breaths!)

[Candiru]

On tankspot there is a video of a guild doing3D sarth with a tank taunting Sarth and running out of range (45yards) to avoid the "death" breaths.

Sounds like a pro plan, now you cannot dance the twilight torment anymore.

Possibly useful in 10m, but you probably can't spare a tank to do it. Maybe a paladin healer?

[Jasari]

Yeah, I saw that strat was couldn't believe I hadn't thought of it earlier. It's a lot simpler to coordinate taunting between the MT and someone else than all the damage mitigation cooldowns that were needed.

[Candiru]

Well, before the latest patch you needed a paladin tank to do the taunting. Now everyone has a 30yard range taunt so its easier.

Or you could have used a well-timed distracting shot from a hunter, and that doesn't even need a taunt back again afterwards!

sounds pretty unintended

[Worldie]

Why would you need something like that anyway Oo

[Candiru]

Well, if you have no DK tank, then keeping the MT up through the shardon + vesp adds debuffs is hard now that you cannot dance the twlight torment off anymore.

This Strat means you can have a tank on dedicated taunt duty rather than having a huge amount of CDs to use, which you might run out of.

Even after 3.0.8 you should only be going through around 3 cool downs including the tanks.

Btw, 500g it will be fixed on next patch and put breat at 100 yd range (hello Brutallus?)

Glad to see this was fixed

Just to raise awareness, the Taunt strategy no longer works in 3.0.9. With an extra tank, taunting will increase stability and safety of the encounter, but only so long as the taunting tank can survive an incoming breath. The breath can no longer be outranged.

In other words, your Death Knight can tank Sartharion, or your Death Knight cant Taunt Sartharion and it'll be even safer. Take your pick.
