Brewmaster’s Touch of Death can help the group survive the Executor Tarvold boss fight by taking out one of the Fleeting Manifestation adds very quickly. The gauntlet at the end of the dungeon is probably the most challenging part of the trash pulls, especially on the Necrotic affix as Stonewall Gargons continually spawn for 5-6 packs in a row and will refresh stacks. The Regal Mistdancer mobs in here are pretty interesting for tanks, be sure to either stack their Echoing Thrust frontals in one location or move slowly and fan out the frontals around the group to keep some safe space.
Watch out for the Chamber Sentinel mobs, as they cast a nasty bleed in the form of a frontal that can be outranged or removed by Blessing of Protection or Phial of Serenity. This buff is cool to play around, but the tank can’t activate them because the cast is broken by damage, and I’m sure you can’t dodge/block/parry while casting anyway so it’s really not a great tank job. Sanguine Depths is the 2nd Venthyr dungeon which allows Venthyr players to activate one of the 5 lanterns while fighting a pack near them to receive damage and healing increases that stack ( Anima Drain). Use any magic damage mitigation possible after the first few ticks to catch the roughest part of the DOT, as it ramps up over time. Also worth noting, Lord Chamberlain will cast Stigma of Pride fairly often in the final boss fight. If there is no curse dispel in the group, use heavy mitigation when the imps are alive and all casting at the tank. There are some minor magic damage hits to be aware of from the Depraved Obliterators and Toiling Groundskeepers, but mostly focus on surviving the gargons and stopping the Loyal Beasts cast from the Depraved Houndmasters.Ĭlasses with curse dispels or immunities help quite a bit on the 2nd boss - Echelon, with removing the Curse of Stone to allow more time to move the Stone Shattering Leap onto the adds, and allowing for more uptime on the boss. Kyrian Tanks will shine in this dungeon to remove the nasty Jagged Swipe bleed they apply every few seconds, and tanks with good kiting options have an easier time surviving as well, since Gargons are some of the few mobs that don’t instantly kill your group when you kite. Halls of Atonement is filled with Vicious Gargons that do high tank damage. Loyal Stoneborn are scattered around the dungeon, if you are near them as a venthyr, a special action button will appear to control them for a short time to help deal some damage. I am a monk player at heart so you can be sure to find lots of Brewmaster-focused content on my Twitter, My Youtube channel or Live on Twitch. I enjoy competing for the highest keys possible on live servers, and competed on several MDI teams throughout the BFA seasons. I have been a top ranked tank player focused on high Mythic+ since the launch of BFA. I started playing WoW in Legion and have loved it ever since. I am a writer for tanks in Mythic+ for Wowhead, and a host of the Titanforge Podcast.
It should be taken into consideration that the melee attacks and pulsing magic damage do ramp up from the Manifestation of Pride over time, so hold defensive cooldowns for later in the fight if possible. There is some advantage to tanks that provide group healing or damage reduction such as Anti-Magic Zone or the Blood Bond conduit.
Unlike the Awakened seasonal affix of season 4 BFA, this affix doesn’t heavily favor the utility of different tank classes, each of the classes is able to deal with it in similar ways.
#BEST TANK IN BFA FULL#
The first seasonal affix of Shadowlands is Prideful! This has been a very fun and rewarding affix through beta testing and I’m excited to see what people do with it by the end of the full season. There are two dungeons in each of the 4 Shadowlands main zones, and each have covenant specific bonuses based on the zone they are in (i.e. But for now, enjoy these 8 dungeons and have fun exploring what you can do as each of the 6 tank specializations to conquer them. There are 8 new dungeons in Shadowlands! Whether there will be more dungeons released as the expansion goes on is yet to be known.
