Forged Alliance

Anyone have the log from our few attempts in there? It would be interesting to plug that in to one of the analysis tools available online.

Also, here are some comments from some tankspot people, who do it without paladins for tank bops, etc.

I wish DBM had an impale timer, if he uses a timer...

Thanks for the guide. reading it.

I'm thinking I need more armor, and we both need around 45k HP raid buffed. Seems like that would get us out of insta-gib territory if the stars align for Gormok.

Another idea is to do a rotation like this:

Tank 1 takes 4 stacks, uses a cooldown before stack 3 hits.

Tank 2 taunts when tank 1 gets 4 stacks, tanks for 4 stacks, also uses a cooldown at 2-3 stacks.

Tank 1 taunts at 4 stacks. Tank 2 gets HoP at this time to clear his 4 stacks. Tank 1 takes two more stacks, and Gormok should be dead before the third stack, or things begin to get ugly.

Then its on to phase 2.

IDK if this helps at all. The heroic 10 man ToC group I run with in Crisis, the tanks are switching @ 2 stacks. I hear panic in the tanks' voices when they get 3 on heroic and at that point we usually wipe. If you are going to plan on 4 stacks you are gonna have to have a cooldown for every single time. If the fight goes even a few seconds beyond what you plan and you end up with 4 stacks on you and no cooldown, you are done. Not saying it can't be done, just that it will have to be super clean execution.

We were doing it with the tanks taking 2 stacks and kept wiping once the boss got 4 of his buffs and started hitting harder.

I have more HP now, so this might go a little better. I'm probably above his max burst now with raid buffs now.
