How come in the Sepulcher of the First Ones Mythic Raid in the Dread Halls is it so difficult to solo as a tank? I get you have to down Kin’tessa quickly before she horrifies you but as a tank there is not enough damage output to take her down solo before her horrified mechanic horrifies you indefinitely. You cannot even use a buff to loose yourself from the mechanic either. This means my Prot Pally Tank just sits there slowly dying because I cannot put enough damage on Kin’tessa to kill her before her spell goes off. Is there going to be a fix for this with the new update in War Within or is it still just going to be horrifyingly bugged? Thanks.
Save your damage cds for the first swarm phase when they take extra damage. See if that helps you kill her before the horrify.
If not, this won’t work for everyone, but since you’re on a prot pally, see if you can survive long enough to hold the bubble until they’re at 45 energy. That will get you another minute or so of damage on her before the next horrify.
If she’s still not dead, you’ll need to see if you can survive until bubble comes off cd, and then use it again around 45 energy.
If that doesn’t work, or for anyone without an immunity, you’ll need to gear up until you can do enough damage to get her dead before her first special at 100 energy.
It’s not actually bugged; the mechanic is working exactly as it’s supposed to. The issue is that it’s impossible to prevent when you’re alone. Sometimes they fix mechanics like that in legacy content, but if it is avoidable by increasing damage output, they often leave it alone. In other words, it may get fixed, but don’t count on it. The above strat will work though, assuming you can survive 40 seconds or so before bubbling.
Okay I will try the above strategy that was mentioned. Appreciate it! I can wait with my bubble too, the way my guy is built she doesn’t die, if ever, even in SL Mythics except for arena fears or pushes. Although I will say my gear level is 597 so maybe that’s why there is not enough damage? Either way it might be even easier to do that raid boss with Undermined and the new gear level coming up with it too. Thanks very much!

No problem, good luck! Let me know how it goes!
The bubble strat should work since no level 80 is at threat of dying anywhere in Sepulcher on Mythic except Rygelon if you have no way to clear the tank debuff stacks.
I imagine they’re going to leave things alone here, as they already made some pretty friendly changes to all three Shadowlands raids in 11.0.5 and 11.0.7 to accompany the account-wide raid skips change. You could alternatively play Ret for the fight and get her down easily; you still won’t be in danger of dying, even if Mal’ganis is still up for another full minute after.
This fight took me two attempts as a 585ish fury warrior with likely sub-par talents and skill. First attempt was because I didn’t know about the mechanic, second attempt was trivial.
You just need a little more gear. When S2 begins you’ll walk right through this fight.
