Infernals at Magtheridon

So the infernals are supposed to be CCed during the Mag fight, but our guild is a bit short on warlocks (we have like 2-3) so I was wondering if there was a way to possibly tank a good bunch of the infernals instead of CCing them.

We had this issue when we were attempting them. They were too spread out to really be controllable by a tank. The only thing we could think of was having an off tank or two gather them up and take them to our other tanks, but we never got it to work properly.

Just wait until tomorrow and you won't have to worry about that anymore.

patch 2.4

They've changed quite a few aspects of the Magtheridon fight.

Yes you can.

Hunters can trap 1 each, and its pretty reliable.

In badge gear (see my armoury) you can tank 2 channelers + 2 infernals pretty easily (though tbh I normally don't plan to tank the infernals, they just run through consc).

Only the first 1-2 tanks should be tanking infernals (anyone after this will start to take more damage), and ideally if you are tanking Magtheridon take 2 channelers at the start, means 1 less tank and you take more damage so your mana stays up a little more, being oom when maggie pops is a bad plan.

Yes the patch is today, but even though it's nostalgic at this point I will comment to the OP.

Yes you can tank infernals. We successfully downed mag with only one lock, and no rogues/dps warriors/shaman for interrupts. Granted we are working on Kael/Vashj, but it is possibly.

I tanked the infernals and had a couple other tanks help me round them up. We also brought 9 healers in there because that's what we had on at the time. I could hold as many infernals as they could bring me, just keep them away from the group, the AOE blast wave they do is nasty to anyone but a tank.

Given this, it was still rough. For a progressing guild in there it would be near impossible to do without the locks/hunters. That's probably why they are changing it, lol.

There's not much of a "strat" left for this fight's infernals, you'll veryrarely see more than 3.
I'm usually a channeler tank and after that i'm useless. I just go and walk around making sure they come to me as they spawn and go back to my pretty cube,
