If you're learning the encounter you should definatly focus on survival, reach the enrage timer first, then kill him the next go, dps is secondary in this fight. Although obviously, the higher your dps is the smoother your kill is, it just can't come at a cost.

Quite.

What we find works best (and it really does) is that melee come in when they can and are quite paranoid about doing anything near a fire.
DPS is called off 10 sec before a fear and everyone moves to a safer position, we wait for the fear whilst doing what we can at a relaxed/safer pace focused more on survival.

Fear hits.
Zerg for 32 seconds whilst avoiding fires and not cratering.

Really <3

why not...

But I personally still fail to see why people find heavy DPS and killing him within 4 fears harder, that do a epic fear/fire logistic during 15 minute battle. But it could be just me...

Well, in Frostmourne, one of the guild's progression Archimonde encounter was MTed by a Prot paladin.

From what I've heard, FW + bubble macro used in nightbane will do the trick.

And that you cannot afford to get feared

Actually you can afford a second or two feared, more will probably be deadly.

How do you do the pull on this fight? We've been having the MT and the MT healers run in from the north with everyone else east or west moving to position after that. Seems to work ok, but then Archimonde ends up farther north than we really want him to be and the MT healers don't have much room to run out. Anyone tried bubble pulling him?

our warrior MT had connection issues and i tanked him successfully today on my guild's 2nd kill. it took 2 flask timers worth of wipes though and tons of ironshield potions. i also had 4 priests to rotate fear wards. (3 holy 1 shadow) all in all it was a pretty fun experience.

Bumping since for the very first time since almost 1 year we're having a raid without a warrior tank at all, and looks like i might have to tank him (if we don't fail bad on Illidan).

I'm quite outgeared so i don't care excessively for what stats to use, my question is, how many Fear Wards would i need? We got 3 priests, realizing that the fear has 45 sec CD (althought sometimes comes way later), i assumed that i could save my bubble for the 4th fear, then i'd have the 3 FW ready again, but then on the 7th i'd have bubble on CD and fear wards on CD...

Do i need to use the PvP trinket?
