1st boss Mana Tombs Heroic - Pandemonious

Can confirm what others have said- some basic green shadow resist gear will help the tank greatly. Our well geared bear tank was getting destroyed. Went and bought some SR gear and we one shot. I think he spent about 50G so not horrible. Offer to help pay imo.

Nothing wrong with this boss. Its a simple case of people not understanding mechanics. 0 of his attack are physical damage. Its all shadow damage.

You don’t need any crafted gear. Greens with shadow protection, is literally all you need.

This. Shadow aura, anything that lowers magic damage etc

As people have said, a tank in full green shadow resist gear can make this fight a joke. I also noticed one time when my tank died he moved extremely slow so there could also be a kite method with a ranged tanking it.

I spent about 30g on ā€œof shadow protectionā€ greens, complete non issue.

You can skip 1st boss in MT’s btw

Yep, we used to do our guild heroic runs back in the original TBC with a solid dps/heal class/spec in one of our dps slots. They would help heal certain specific encounters/pulls & just dps (& emergency offheal as needed) on others. Made the runs sooo much smoother. We did the same thing in Kara.

That works.

Hit uncrushable.

Unless theres some funky tuning I don’t know about he’s not that bad. Stop attacking 2-3 seconds before shell goes out. Shadow res aura helps a tonne aswell.

How is getting crushed even possible in a heroic?

Nothing is level 73.

Pally tanks getting two-shot is not mechanics.

Also, ā€œkeep a green shadow resistance setā€ is not something that applies to any other heroic boss in the entire expansion. Why are you making excuses for an obvious anomaly?

This fight is broken, simple as that. It is the product of bad design philosphy.
