Magisters' Terrace 2nd Boss Vexallus made easy

Mystery solved I got a debuff in a run last night.

No they are immune to consecrate they do however pick there target at random and that includes you the tank. Holy shield definitely kills them according to my log last night I guess redoubt would too.

But yes to get a reliable use of the buffs you would have to actually target them manually.

This guy was obviously harder than they intended in normal from mmo-champion apparently live on PTR

Magister’s Terrace

Vexallus is no longer immune to taunt on Normal difficulty.
Kael’thas is no longer immune to taunt on Normal difficulty.
Wretched Skulkers, Wretched Husks, and Wretched Bruisers will now reset properly.
Sunblade Imps will now reset properly.
The doors in Heroic Magister’s Terrace will no longer respawn after a soft reset if a boss has already been killed.

I know its not a pally problem but apparently he is a pain for warriors because shield slam doesnt work there are some interesting workarounds on wowwiki with locks and shadow priests tanking him

Hence the addition of tauntable.

Edit: It's not shield slam but some of there agro build up doesnt work on him and they often lose him. Seems to be alot of disquiet on warrior forums about pallys becoming the preferred tank in MgT.

dident know about that bug.
well, no need to use it the boss is easy anyway without cheating.
I always take 1 of the adds when they spawn every spawn, and spare the dps from the debuff. easier for the healer to just heal me. rogue usualy takes the other half of the adds.

He's an arcane elemental, and yes that's exactly how it works. WWS reports the damage as Arcane with 0 physical damage dealt by Vexallus over the fight.

never thougth about the blocking....checked it today while killing him, and yea...holy shield is worthless here.. kinda sucks, cuz only agro I have on him then is Consecration (cuz i use JoR to kill 1 add every spawn) but ofc most of the time it is enough unless DPS go 110% crazy on boss.

Actually if you get the first 2 adds (judge one, melee other) your consecration will be enough to hold aggro even with t6 dps nuking.

I haven't yet tried him since I got my arcane resist set together (352 arcane resist)... with that and spell warding, hoping to see some 800-1000 pt ticks on consecrate!
