Supremus Bug for pally?

So we are in BT, we get to Sup.....

So i have the second highest hp, so I am absorbing the lash's while a warrior Mt'd. I by far have more hp then the 3rd person, but no matter what Supremes Refused to hit me. And eventually i leave the raid cause its pointless to stay there and be ineffective cause he refuses to hit me.


Has anyone seen this before?

I've never had a problem with him not hitting me unless I went too low on the agro list. You still have to fight to keep high on the agro list or he won't hit you. Sure his hateful strike does give you agro, but not enough.


but you left the raid? like bubble hearth style? Cause seriously... wow. sounds like a temper tantrum.

It's like old brother Patchwerk. Make some snap threat, establish HS rotation, let melee do damage.
Same as Patchwerk HS could be overaggroed, you have to keepsome level of threat on Supremus.

Next time instead of leaving the raid and going to cut yourself, try to study some guides or stop for a while and think how fight mechanic works

Yea get in there. blow wings, avenger shield, exorcism, JoR, consecrate and do everything you can to increase your threat. If your not #2 threat when the first few are hitting you, your not going to get the rest. If mana starts to be an issue, stand in the fire.


It's not just high hp that he targets, it's high threat also. Basically he looks at the top few people on his threat and smacks the one with the highest hp. The smack itself adds to your overall threat, so it helps you stay high.

You have to be somewhere in the list, definitively no need to be second, but you need a minimum threat to be targetted by HS.

Erm however, watch out with wings+burst threat, u don't really want to overaggro the main tank... or well, u might want since a paladin is way more effective as MT here :>

i didn't leave the raid cause i was upset, we did to attempts we wanted to speed clear, so there was no point in sitting there wiping. But i was a bit worried about over threating the MT at the start may of been to cautious.

meh what ever will try again next week rofl

My main's guild's tankadin was having the same problem last night though. He was second on the aggro list according to the raid's omen, but he kept hitting a DPS warrior with 4k less health than the tankadin. We couldn't figure out what was going on...

It is because the pally should be Mting

And Supremus is doing that as a punishment .,.

Srsly pally tank Supremus = easy mode

My guild is scared of pally MTs. Luckily when we do alt raids, they let me MT.

Old school guild FTL...

Another point (don't know if mentioned) is, that you have to get in meleerange before the other melees - at least at the beginning. Otherwise you will not appear in the "hateful list".

Last week i had almost the opposite to this happen

kinda of like
9k hatefull
4k melee
10k hatefull

this happened twice, once at about 80% and got a bres and once at 6%. He was also constantly hateful then meleeing me so id take 13-15k dmg in one go.

He actually sometimes has some odd behiavour with one of our warriors, sometimes he "insists" hurtfuling him... he gets HS, parry, another HS, dodge, another HS... until he menages to hit him.

Once that warrior had so many avoided hits that i thought i had lost aggro since Supremus was keeping targetting him.
