If ur decent geared, id say: Tank everything.
Usually ends BM with 100% shield and all the beacons used on the last rift keepers just to speed it up abit more.

This past saturday I ran this in a pug and was unable to finish it. Made it as far as wave 14 in 2 attempts and then called it.

Here is my armory:

I was reluctant to AoE tank the waves, but early on when I let the adds through, the healer generally ended up with aggro (still not sure how). So after a few waves of this I just grabbed the adds, like I do on normal. I was taking some pretty hefty hits, but nothing too crazy. I had to drink about every other wave.

So the obvious question is, can my gear handle this?

My other question involves the healer. Here is his armory:

After every pull, this guy was OOM. Is 48 mp5 too low for an instance like heroic BM? What should I look for in terms of regen from a healer (I often overlook mp5 and go right for +heal when I check armories on pug healers)? On a sidenote, he kept that flute trinket equipped for the fight.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that the portals no longer could overlap and that it was just one after another. This was after the progressive nerfs to Black Morass over patchs 2.1 and 2.2 iirc.

Or did they just make the timer so long I've yet to see an overlap since?

Well, the first attempt was just bad luck with the disconnection, although the warrior shouldn't have died. You can get away without beacons between the second and third boss on a non-heroic, but it's a lot harder on a heroic.

The second attempt was simply your fault for not repositioning the boss.

When the tank and healer are decked out in epics (for the most part), gear is probably the least of your worries, even if there are a few questionable gear/gem/enchant choices. Remember, people were doing heroics long before everyone was decked out in Kara/T6 epics.

I probably started running heroics on my rogue 3 or 4 months after the expansion hit, and it was a bitch finding a group. I ended up making groups myself because most pugs wanted 2 mages. That's when I pretty much gave up on my rogue and started leveling my pally from 55 -> 70.

Yeah it's a healer issue IMO. I did heroic MgT with a Shadow Priest spec healing last week. He was really well geared, some MH/BT gear but unfortunately we wiped so much on the 3rd boss/kael that we had to drop a bot to finish the run. Now I don't mind wiping don't get me wrong but I don't come to heroic MgT holy specced saying I'm ready to tank.

At one point he blamed it on me (since I'm only in kara level gear) and it took all I had not to ditch the group. On the other hand if he had his normal black temple raid main tank to heal maybe he could have gotten away with it. Maybe your overgeared shaman that specced ele just wearing his resto gear was in the same boat. He may have been used to healing a tank who grossely overgeared the encounter.

In the end it's his fault for your wipes IMO.

I'm a priest healer who discovered these forums since I rolled Protadin (After a healer and a dps, it was the last thing missing ^^). I got to the Black Morass HM for the first time a few days ago and it was a piece of cake, as easy as the normal mode. Even if you, the tankadin, finish the fight oom, you really have more than enough time to drink and eat before the next wave ; me, I'm a priest, I don't drink unless there's a mage in the party =P
