  • I remember this fight like it was yesterday... stopped playing WoW after Sunwell Plateau, but I'll always miss it, especially the raiding. Tanked it with my human mage quite a few times.

    Your healer was damn lazy, almost got you killed a few times. Oh well :)

  • @razielish Yes, lots of fun. I think this was back when Prayer of Mending didn't have a cool down so he used that and flash heal mostly making for a few close calls.

  • @razielish Woah, I am not lazy!

  • @mcgrif100 OK OK, is not my intention to offend anybody, my apologies :)

    How about "a little distracted"? :D

  • @razielish lol, more like oom... that was one of the hardest fights to heal.

  • @mcgrif100 I see. I never played healers but had mana issues with my mage many times in long raid fights so I totally understand.

  • i remeber using a druid turning into a lion/cat form its fun with that speed

  • To the wrath babies that don't know this fight.. Krosh Firehand pops a bubble that negates all damage, its a magic effect that mages can SPELLSTEAL.. thus making mages the best 'tank' for him. Spellsteal his bubble, and mass damage to keep agro on him.

    TBC > Wrath. (I miss TBC so much, was the best times in WoW, even cata doesn't compare)

  • one of my favorite fights in bc as a boomkin i got to tank with a hunter the guy that polymorphs

  • 2 Gruuls 1 Cup

  • Ouch. I miss TBC so much! I remember when I tanked him first time =)

  • hey i just dinged my magi to 80 not sure should i go prot or destruction friend said i shud b prot but i dont want to b ddps i wana be healer plz help ty

  • Ahh, i too had this problem. What i did was offspec subtetly until you get barkskin. then once you get eye of the unliving, you put them all into the lowest tiers of farming, then use your 99str to pwn them noobys

  • retard;

  • lol troll.

  • @Kartiolol fail

  • Next time you make fun of an opposite faction or 'Try' to make sure you atleast spell it right

  • haha owned

  • Dats right :P

  • Dat true!

  • LOL RETARD

  • haha looking at the hunters gear, he's definaitly not geared enough for gruul's but maybe this is who ever you can get.

  • eather the group i puged.. was really good.. or this group tuk way too long to take them down...

  • Look at the date difference -__-'

  • @badboyfrlife10 look at the date bc dropped in jan. so they were t6 or anything

  • mage tanking in gruul is the best thing i've ever done, but after the pre wotlk patch it was made to easily, i took him down to 20k on my own, but its still fun going to do it again on 80

  • what´s the addon that are you using? to see all raid members. And what the vídeo software to record the vídeo. I used the Gamecam, but the quality is too poor.

    Congr. very good vídeo.

  • The mage should do the pull. Also frost > fire to tank him, cause of ice barrier. Mage tanking in gruuls lair, is the easiest thing in wow really.. But I guess maybe you helped some nuubcakes, who is raiding karazhan.

    Reroll horde Burning Legion! PuG Mount Hyjal and get T6. All though, wotlk is here now, so screw T6.

  • And also, thats a damn long fight, I guess it's a pretty bad guild. Or atleast bad dps.

  • i have done boomkin tank but its the monster on the left dunno the name

  • 2:09 - 2:10 unexpected ogre running in underwear lol.. i found that funny for some reason

  • thats a crazy interface O.o

  • GREAT VIDEO. Note: The mage is NOT the first one pulling. Other raiders should be TO THE LEFT OF YOU and not standing back in the doorway to the room. The distances between the orge, the mage, and the healer. (Perfect in this video) This orge does AOE (area of effect damage)so keep proper distance. Spell steal: If your in mid cast of fire/ice bolt when this orge shields, JuMp to cancel cast, so you can cast spell steal instead. I had 7500 health unbuffed and 9032 health when buffed. GREAT VIDEO.

  • LOL a little bit slow!!!!

  • I'll say any mage spec can tank Gruul. The most important aspect is to be using your spell steal to get that shield and any mitigating shields to mitigate damage when the shield is down. For frost, this is easy since we can use ice barrier, fire ward and if necessary to live, mana shield. For a fire mage its easy to pull because of scorch, but a frost mage can simply use icy veins and throw a frostbolt. You won't need icy veins to tank because if you do, you'll run out mana

  • thanks, the first time i went to gruuls and my group said bring in the mage tank im all laughing and then this mage with like 15k health comes in and starts the fight im like OMG R U KIDDING ME i didnt know that your supposed to mage tank him, i screamed in raid I FINALY FOUND OUT WHAT THE STAMINA CLOTH GREEN CRAP ITEMS ARE FOR!!!!!! TANKING GRUULS! lol the group payed me to get full stamina greens on my pally and i hade 16k health no stats no mana no anything and their like tank in that.

  • OK impressive - but as usual the holy priest does all the work... :P

  • You, sir, are a Muse fan :D

  • ahh so thats how to mage tank... thanks.. FOR THE HORDE..

  • Tanking him is good with 10k+ hp and Mana.

    Requires bunch of mana pots.

  • Not really, I tanked him with my PvP gear which had no more then 8.5k mana and never had mana problems.

  • I ran Gruul's yesterday and i was told to tank even though im a lock and i told them i dont have much fire spells so it was hard i lost aggro and the heals didnt come fast e nough

  • Wow this shows how much u know about this fight. it is very possible for a mage to tank.

  • I completly meant warlock, wasnt extremly thinking when i typed my shit

  • We didn't have a mage so they wanted me to try it out. But i dont have much fire spells so they wanted me to death coil then i aggro and searing pain him

  • My bad dudes, i meant warlock in that mage spot.

  • So u just get aggro with pyroblast, scorch the crap outta him and spell-steal when he uses his sheild?

  • woohoo thx for the video. really helped me for mage tankin him.

  • Go Gnomes go lol

  • Well im proberly going to tank this guy sooner or later , it seems pretty easy , and looks kinda funny , abit like strawman en KZ :p - and i love to tank him ;D - so i guess this is going to be fun , MAGES RULE xD

  • hehe,club penguin is for babies,

    thats why you play it..

  • LOL CLUB PENGUIN XD!!?!?! man i hope your joking

  • It's not very hard tanking this mob. If you got atleast 1 eye, it's do-able ;-) With some specialized addons, you don't need any - as long as you can hear.

    Mage should do the pull, preferly with a Blessing of Protection from a paladin. Start with a fireball or pyroblast, just to assemble some quick aggro. Then just "finish" him of with scorches. When he uses his shield, you stopcasting and spellsteal. Rinse and repeat.

  • i dont understand the concept of a mage tank when i ran gruuls for my first time yesterday i see a mage standing to the side and counting on vent and im like WTF is going on....

  • ROOOOOOOOFL dude  u are fucking funny :)

  • TY!:D This helped me get over my nerves for mage-tanking Krosh:) W/ some stam gear I'm at 12,500-13k hp raid buffed, Lock imp in my grp if the RL feels necessary. Depends on my healer & if there's another healer throwing occasional heals my way. I start with frostbolt, dun matter what you hit him with. Steal his spellshield, back up to avoid his fire AOE nobody melee him,his aoe sux Use DBM to help your timing:) TY again for vid AND MUSE! <3 GL mages! After 1st success you'll enjoy doing this

  • Meh, we did this with a mage that had 8k HP. 8k HP + good healer is enough.

  • Glorious by Muse

  • whats the name of the song ?

  • well just go search what i'm wearing then Ultramega realm: exodar

  • OK i tried mage tanking krosh It didn't go well so if yu guys could give me some advice bout specs gear and how i shud do the pull plz send me some youtube mail

  • at least 10k health and you arnt very spacific

  • Crapy vid and bad music

  • Very wrong. Very Very wrong.

    Pull with a pyroblast. Sepllsteal the shield as he runs to you. Back up to your healer. go to town and go with your raids killing order

  • i am mage tank for my guild and fire resistance doesnt help in this fight i looked it up. All you need it Gladiator gear for spell damage, Stam, some intel and it is nice to have a little bit of spell hit so they dont resist your spellsteal

  • Oh cool a blurry video that doesn't explain anything. 1 Star

  • u gotto have "of stamina" gear with fire resistance to take the damage otherwise your just as good as any other nub ur raiding with. and u gotto watch what the boss is casting cause u gotto use spellsteal at the right time or ur fucked

  • fire resistance gear doesnt help with this boss, it goes through it...u only need some pvp gear, i have 15 k hp with raid buffs and pvp gear, more than enough =)

  • we've done this on krosh as well. However, the mage doing it should have plenty of health. Believe it or not, the last mage who did this for us had about 12k health.

  • That's not really hard to believe tbh, with pvp gear mages get easily over 9000 health unbuffed and ~11-12k health buffed. I would say the minimum is like 10k health buffed just to take one fire ball without oneshotting you.

  • lulz i have 15 k with full raid buffs (brutal/venge gear mostly =))

  • to many add-ons... u rn't pro at wow unless u can play it classic style :P

  • no just i find it easier with out add-ons... to many things cloging the screen annoy me

  • @Hoopsfroops lol

  • Yeah, it is super easy. I've even done it as frost. Tho, I find it easier if I pull first instead of them.

  • It's easier to do this as frost at least easier for the healers. If you pop frost barrier and fire ward just before the renewal of the next shield you nearly completely absorb the whole blast:) Frost ftw also for pve (if you want to spare healers that is:P)

  • go horde,

  • What song is this? It's Muse but I don't know the name of the track, its awesome!

  • mage tank is super easy, you spell steal, damage, spell steal, damage, not very hard...

  • this isnt vid about "how do i tankin krosh firehand", this is video called "look at me i got pom/pyro spec in PvE and instead of going wsg and killin ofcs im tryin to tank that mob cuz my gm said id be perfect because only i wear full PvP gear even in raids"

  • + Condom gives you great protection from diseases... :D Shield give great protection for mages :D:D:D:D LOLOLOLZAR

  • Gj Pwnt asshole

  • can a elemental shaman be used to tank him? i am not sure if purge works to steal his shield...

  • I pulled with a pom/pyro blast. And no this isnt eclipsed from dethecus, its eclipsed from Anetheron. The guild disbanded about 4 months after this movie.

  • What move did you use to pull him over to you?

  • Pom/Pyro

  • Eclipsed of Dethecus i take it?

  • Fucking love your choice of music dude!

    MUSE on!

    Oh yeh and awesome mage tanking! ;P

  • i just did this pull a few minutes ago...for some reason i dont think our healers were doing there job.

  • i think you were doing somethingwrong then because you need 1 healer for the mage, there is nothing so easy as healing the mage in gruul he only takes very few damage if he use te right spells.

  • since when do mages tank?

    lol

  • mages tank on gruuls.

  • When that guy uses this spell reflecting spell or something the mage has a move than can take it away from him and use it against him. Works really well but this is only what I heard.

    <--Newb at mages.

  • my mage is arcane frost, so do i still spam scorch and shit as i was told in another video, or do i do frost moves to hold aggro?

  • depends on your gear, really. I'm arcane/frost with 2xT4, so for me spamming frostbolt is the most efficient move since it's uninterruptible due to set bonus and has a good damage/aggro ratio, which means by the time the others get to focus on Krosh, I'm well ahead in threat.

    If you don't have 2xT4, you may be better off with scorch for the faster cast = less chance to get interrupted. no clue how you'd fare mana-wise.

  • no banish :S yeah lasted too long should be very fast

  • Who was the dumbass who sent the pet in there?

  • Early in the fight, I guess no one picked him up yet.

  • banish fellhound?

  • whats the name of the first song?

  • Artist: Muse

    Song Name: Glorious

  • All the songs are listed at the end.

  • Uh whoops, don't mind my music comment. Rock on Muse though!

  • It's called Glorious by a band called Muse

  • Woah, youtube emails u when ppl respond to ur shit. Well it would seem everyone hates me for that last post :D ,the modivation behind it was this: Guilds like "plan b" and "crimson" (greymane) have requiremetns for how many hours you have to be on each week, but clearing bt and hyjal only takes so long, so they do stuff like gruul. With a caster tank, just cause they can. I was kinda hopeing to see that, if you still find you hate me you can direct your comments to the fattest part of my ass ^.^

  • ehhh i dont get what u are doing...all those things on your screen

  • You should be able to kill HKM within 5 minutes..this fight was way too long. And, for those that don't know. this is not gruuls...this fight is High King Maulgar.

  • His fireball hits for like 9Kish and armor doesn't reduce magic effects. The ONLY way to kill him to spellsteal his sheild. His shield is super strong, but of course there is a time every 30 seconds or so when he doesn't have a shield and it faded from you. He will do between 9-11K dmg with a fireball at that time. This why the mage needs high hp (14K is perfect fully buffed) and a detcated healer. Between his shield and fire ward, hes easy. Do it as fire the first time, frost range is hard.

  • SO the mage cna tank the caster spellsteal his buff to take reduced spell dmg

  • ive never done gruuls... Why do you need a mage tank?

  • im not so sure of the reason, (i forgot) but its part of the boss

  • ive never done gruuls... Why do you need a mage tank?

  • the add that is tanked does a very damaging aoe when melee DPS or tank is used, the mage tank is useful because u can spellsteal the shield he uses, and fireward also helps, the add is taken down mainly by using ranged DPS

  • spellsteal

  • go go Tazz :P

  • Nice job our group ran that but the tank kept wiping and then all hell would break lose. Mage tanking was intresting never done it before =p

  • That end scene with everyone slamming the last boss was awesome. Well executed!

  • that's not the way you do it..you'r supposed to tank him next to a wall..

  • why talk shit on palis.. one word hobbs.. he's a better tank then 99% of the warriors out there

  • Don't get on the whole Warrior tank/Paladin tank thing. Paladins are better for multi-mob pulls where as warriors are better for bosses. I am pretty sure that Illidan has to be tanked by a warrior - I have not played a paladin, do they have something equivalent to Shield Block? (The move, not the stat)

  • Hobbs is not a tank, he just runs instances for lowbies and I'm pretty sure if you put him tanking in a heroic instance every 'Joe the Warrior' would tank better.

  • thats not true

  • The mage tanks krosh to spell steal his shield, melee cannot tank krosh because his blast spells hits very hard on melee, this is why you never see melee taking down krosh in a raid, he gets demoed by ranged dps after blindeye, olm, and kiggler are down while melee sticks to maulgar.

  • Hey you guys i'm a hunter. They dont suck because they cant tank or pull as many creeps. In fact, yea, we cant do anything without our beasts. but thats because we are BMs who have 40 pts in beast mastery you noob. if we were mark or survival (they're actually pretty good) then yeah, pets dont matter for us. So shut your mouth until you know what your talking about. jerks.

  • RobertCharron you noob, mages are not able to poly mobs in Karazhan.

  • Your right, I am sorry. Either way, you need a mage for Lurker (SSC), and it helps alot in TK.

  • mage cant poly in kara

  • My hunter is number two on damage meter in almost all raids, number one is a BM hunter. I am marks. Hunters are useless... Yeha what would tanks do without misdirect?... It makes thins easier... Kara, traps yeah...useless also? You could have alot of priests but how many are there out there..

  • Hahahaha, you make me laugh. What would tanks do without misdirect? The same thing they do usually, misdirect just helps the OT, and only if you have a shitty offtank. As for traps, it's the most unreliable CC out there. For Kara I would rather have a mage poly, or priest shackle. I've raided Kara on all four classes, Mage, Huntard, Warrior and Priest and I have to say it was quite bad on a hunter. Now I am not saying they are useless,I just always like a bit of debate.

  • Well in kara you can have priest shackel, however my server seems to have 1% priest... Many mages, hoever many of kara's mobs are undead. Undead cannot be pollymorphed. Fear, too risky. Im not saying hunters are the best dps class out there by far. There are many hunters that can out dps many other classes, and there are many more hunters that cant beat the tanks in damage.

  • tanks cant do damage idiot

  • maybe cause your a crappy hunter. and fyi hunters are becoming more of a cc class ever since blizzard allowed us to lay traps in combat. MD does help the MT. you dont need it but for dps race fights kaz'rogal, teron gorfiend, etc it helps alot

  • Not replying to ur comment just getting mine on top >:D.

    Geela ur title was misleading and got my hopes up. Wasted 6mins of my life on this, damn you, you nube.

  • wtf? the title isnt misleading, u need a mage to tank the caster in this fight to spell steal the shield. If he doesnt raid fails, so damn you nab.

  • no...u idiot, the reason the title was misleading is because it implies that gruul himself and hkm(regarless of which part) were tanked by a mage, which would make what sweet fucking vid, instead i got a mage tanking magus...wow havn't seen a raid that hasnt done it that way b4. If the title was "Mage tanking Magus, Gruul's lair" i wouldnt have even watched. Sorry, i assumed ppl who used youtube had iq's above room temperature, ill avoid posting from now on.

  • You must be pretty dumb to think that mage can tank Grull, and yeah, i think you should avoid posting.

  • no...u idiot, the reason the title was misleading is because it implies that gruul himself and hkm(regarless of which part) were tanked by a mage, which would make what sweet fucking vid, instead i got a mage tanking magus...wow havn't seen a raid that hasnt done it that way b4. If the title was "Mage tanking Magus, Gruul's lair" i wouldnt have even watched. Sorry, i assumed ppl who used youtube had iq's above room temperature, ill avoid posting from now on.

  • Dude, if you know Gruuls, you should know exactly what this video was gonna be about. I mean come on, did you actually think a mage would really tank Gruul? You're the noob, for real. get over it.

  • Hunters are a terribly boring class.

    And like he said there is so many damn hunters. LFG RFD = 4 People Found. 4 Hunters ;/

    Mage > All

  • actually, thats quite not sure, on my servers theres a large sortage of mages, and mages are always looked for in guilds.....

  • You kidding? Hunters are the easiest to level and a gold grinding class. Everyone and their cousin has one. Mages are harder to level because if you pull an extra mob, you die. Super squishy. hunters, you don't die. You have a pet tank, which you can heal and do good amounts of DPS. Pet dies, you feint death. Easy levelling. Also you can take 4-5 mobs easy (mind, you can do that on a mage too)

  • Hmmm.. hunters are cowerds.. they cant do it without there pet, without there pet.. they are just NOOBS!=D. and i can pull 10 mobs if i want... not that hard.. mage is the best AoE... and if a hunters pet pulls 10 then you MUST use feingh death or else your dead.

    owyeah 1 more thing.. hunter class SUCKS!=D

  • You seem to be forgetting that you are still getting hit during AoE, and it is slow DPS, not burst damage. So, if you don't have heals, and you try to take 10 mobs, you won't even get one (Assuming its a same level mob)

  • you get hit i know, but you can use frost nova, blink to escape and if you have ice barier then your imba.

  • Therefore you aren't killing the mobs, just running away. You have no point here.

  • thnx for zhe movie, helped me out <3

  • you arnt actually tanking

  • tanking in ALL MMORPGs means whoever is taking the damage.. regardless of how that damage is being dealt.. from range etc etc.. the source taking the damage from main target is the "tank"

  • Why you replying on me dont have to know that cause i really now and in this MMORPG only 2 class are a Tank 1.Warrior - 2.Druid Dire Bear

  • You wouldnt want to count prot pallies in the tanking category? although i dont see them in raids often, they are very useful

  • im currently mage tanking this fight, gnome mage , normaly im full on fire but i respec for this fight pom pyro, i save my pom for the second pyro first i pyro pull , i count down on vent so that the hunter can misdirect at the same time. i spell steal the bubble , throw on my fire shield and i pom pyro. i want to generate the most threat that i possibly can so that krosh wont hit my healer. i let the rest of the raid dot krosh but not attack him. i wear greens 15,568 hp raid buffed.

  • if you have no mages in a 25 man raid

    your raid its bad configure because there are a lot things that only could make a mage

  • wut mods were you using?

  • what muse song is that? i've never heard it 0o

  • It's 'Glorious' by Muse. It's one of their least heard B-sides (but one of their greatest) What's even more odd was that I happened to be listening to it at exactly the same time as this o.O

  • I've worked on my mage tank set, and i'm at 12,773 health unbuffed, about 15,500 raid buffed, 16.02% spell hit (which is the hit cap), 6971 mana self buffed, which is more than enough. I've got a screenshot of me hitting 21.1k health, that shit was insane.

  • Wow never tanking this i came here to see what I have to do....and with some pvp gear and greens that are 100% stamina i have 9.1k health and 8.3k mana and 600 spell damage. This is all unbuffed

  • Im resto..Healing in that shithole of a cave.

    Is there a cool addon that will ease my heals?

    Currently i pull all 5 raid grps from raid screen..And place then on a line. Then I click the person needing heals and HOT him..Put downside is that it takes away my wiew making it hard to notice incomming damage and stuff like that..

    Anyone know a cleaver little addon that will ease my worried mind?

  • I use Grid, still in black temple, I could explain how it works but it's better if you check it out yourself :)

  • Thx dude...I suppose Im able to get it from curse...Goin to try it..

    Caus bein resto druid is ALL about visibility and movement..

    Hots ftw..
