Took 16 hateful strikes as an Enh Shaman. 2nd behind a warrior. Thanks to SOTH for allowing me to do it! Patchwerk fight should start at the 1:22 mark

Gratz? Shamans are still crappy tanks.

You were one-shot, and low enough on EH that the only reason you didn’t get one-shot before the end was because Patchwerk never hit you with an upper-end Hateful Strike, since you only had 9,604 total Health while averaging <70% mitigation. You literally couldn’t reliably survive from full health a non-enraged Hateful Strike, which is why the moment he hit you with something that broke over 10k, you just went splat and by a fair amount.
Patchwerk threw 37 Hatefuls your way.
Patchwerk threw 65 Hatefuls at the Warrior.
Congratulations on the RNG, but you did as well as an Evasion Rogue.

Because shaman tanking is a meme and he got carried by rng. This isn’t tanking, it’s playing russian roulette

I’ve seen plenty of well geared warrior tanks and get flattened by hateful strikes. Surviving up there as a shaman is impressive. You get a congrats from me =)

Even more of a reason to chuckle and say, “That’s pretty cool.” It sounds like some of you guys need to settle down and relax, for your own sake’s. It’s not that serious…

I don’t find it cool and I’m not taking it seriously. A critical comment doesn’t mean I’m taking it seriously.

Yeah, these forums are always packed with hostile nerds. Like clearly he isn’t going to tank naxx. They did this to have fun, the whole point of the game.

It’s cool to see people try different things. Ignore the meta-monkey’s

Objectively, no, you didn’t. You simply lucked out with Patchwerk never aiming a heavy hitting Hateful Strike at you, which is why a weak swing during his Enrage phase one-shot you.
/shrug
Like I said, you performed the same as an Evasion Rogue, utterly reliant upon RNG.

The meta was challenged and someone had fun.
Side note, what’s up with cults these days?

That’d be rough since you’d never avoid any swings even once. I’m 90% sure you can hit the 30k EH threhold for non-Enrage phase but I don’t think you can hit 40k EH for the last 5%, and I don’t think you can hit that 30k EH threshold easily without dropping several pieces of +Healing gear.
You can probably RNG your way through a few hits though.
