Leotheras The Blind - Warlock Tank Guide

[pratikh]

God I loved this fight. Leo was such a maniac, especially when he went all ballistic at 20%.

[darklord809]

i want a UI interface like this, got any to recomend ?=D

[spikes8896]

I paused pendulum on my itunes and started up this video to hear more pendulum. Nice choice of music kyuss

[Kyuss7979]

This isnt like a public UI, its all my own

also i change it many times since but i can tell u what is what

[Hugadu]

does anybody know what interface this is?? which name it got^^??

looks very pretty

=)

[doobers421]

probably the most fun a lock tank can have. not sure what i liked tanking more. leo or illidan. illidan was a pain in the ass to get to the lock tank phase tho lol

[breszty]

6:50

whats that song? somebody knows?

[doobers421]

its by a drum and bass band called pendulum. the first song is called slam. it then fades into a remix of prodigy's voodoo people. after that it goes into some different stuff which i havent listened to yet, but is still definately pendulum.

=D best drum n bass get up there is :D:D:D:D xD

[Dabulldoza]

Through the fight,

wtf is giving you all of those 1k+ mana ups?

(Top right of the screen, looks like SCT mod but im not sure)

[Kyuss7979]

Life tap

[arabest52]

i tank him with S4 gear got about 17k HP

no fire resist or any potion , flask and SS

got S4 and u can do it

[Kyuss7979]

to be honest that doesnt suprise me, they nerfed everything so hard in 3.0.2

remember this was posted over a year ago when this fight was new content to most guild and when it was actually hard, grats though

[Kodeking]

The other song is a remix of Voodoo People

Originally by The Prodigy, this is a remix by Pendulum

[flightbyshred]

nice vid, lol we had a pally tank with some FR gear tank the demon leo today.

[Kyuss7979]

Its a remix done by aaron simpson, not sure what song it is

[breszty]

Yes i know 365 FR is enough, but with all buffs i had 485 :P.

And need max 13-14k hp, max 9k mana (use lifetap during human form). and spell dmg is not important trust me. a weel timed COD and searing pain spam is more than enought threat :P ! i had 900 spell dmg in FR gear (1255 in normal gear) and SP crits above 2k. so You can do dmg as well.

[Luuutz]

nonono nether protection does NOT procc off chaos bolt. blizzard did change it some time ago.

[Kyuss7979]

well there u go, been a while since ive done leo so i dont rly know

[Luuutz]

you just want to have 365 fire resistance. that is with aura (70) and 295 from gear.

after that, you can focus on more hp and spellhit.

spellhit will help your aggro so dps can go allout. remember the boss is still on a 10 minute enrage timer.

can be done ofc with any warlock specc. i did it with 21-40 sac destro specc, 3 points into improved imp for even more stamina. nether protection does not procc off chaos bolt.

good luck

[Kyuss7979]

dont use nether protection, cause im pretty sure it making u immune to fire dmg drops ur aggro

[Kyuss7979]

u dont realize thats just overkill on the FR, 365 is cap, i cant make it any cleared, regardles, grats

[breszty]

Downed yesterday night, fire ress: 485, HP 14.327, mana 9632. Ofc buffed. In demon form the raid can do full out DPS, you can easily keep aggro. With 485 fire resistance i have 2-4 fire thing in each demon form.

[smoljakovski]

are you reallt that bad in addons?!?!?!lol its elk's buffbars and AG_unitframes

[WickyRicky]

Thanks for the tips, I'll be doing this next week :D Nice, helpful video.

[CrackaCrackson]

thank you for putting pendulum and not ghey hardcore, im sick of listening to screaming boss fights :) good vid.

[nikblackstone]

Could you list your UI mods? Specifically, what are you using for buffs and unitframes?

[ryabusha]

thats fucking awsome

[ryabusha]

i want 2 learn how 2 tank with my warlock

[TehKazlehoff]

im locktanking leo tomorrow :D thanks for the video

[TehKazlehoff]

with this guide: downed leo. 1 wipe. got my t5 gloves. fire resist: 409+

gear: all 4 fire resist pieces from badge vendor

cloak with +7 fire resit enchant

Amulet of the Torn-heart (+30 stam, +24 FR) From "Cipher of Damnation" quest

[sunbeamr]

what are those addons

[ro0ter88]

I would like to know that as well.

[petebobvideos]

0/21/40 works fine. healers didnt notice the difference.. a bit more threat even. my advice for at 5% when you have 8 debuffs or something is to proc a nightmare seed, theyre cheap and can save your life

[Kyuss7979]

whatever works for you

[daggalaggabagga]

i never actually saw that you were tanking anything???????

[Kyuss7979]

....? was that a serioius statement or are u just trying to be funny?

[Kyuss7979]

oops, i accidentally hit remove instead of reply to daggalaggabagga, ummm in thsi video im not physically tanking, im absorbing spell blasts from leotheras, the green splash you see aroudn me is his fire attack, in this fight a warlock stacks fire resistance so he doesnt die to it, so im not taking melee damage, but spell dmg.....sorry i accidentally removed ur rely, misclicked :S

[tomtjdn]

hey Kyuss7979, can ya tell me the music used on this imba vid mate :)

[petebobvideos]

A Remix of Pendulum - Slam

[muzickeepsmealive]

very helpful vid.. 5/5

pendulum FTW! :)

[Santariathepriest]

Is the first song an intro or is a different song you layered over?

Oh, and what songs :P

[petebobvideos]

thanks for the video mate ;)... im doing it as 0/40/21 at the moment but my raid dps is lacking a bit.... is it still ok as 0/21/40 (fire resist still capped ofc)

[Kyuss7979]

Theres a ton, what one u want in perticular?

[Ung4r0]

can you say the name of the interface add-ons pls

[Santariathepriest]

For the most part (guessing), it looks like he has bartender, EEPanels, Elkano's buffbars, and possibly pitbull.

[OxbowisaMstie]

What mod is that for the botton placement, it looks tight. I'm looking for a replacement for bongos 3 anyways.

[SpaceInv8R]

Just have to say: love this video and used it successfully

Basically I was copying your moves like a mirror image. /hug

Tips to the viewer at 15%:

*after you grab agro from demon, feel free to dps Leo.

*Treat leo as if the was a normal leo phase -- that is REMEMBER that he drops agro after WW - and overall tell DoTers that existing DoTs on him after WW will make him agro you

amazing lock PoV video

[ShockySpartan]

Horde or Alliance doesn't matter when it comes to locks- i'm gonna be doing this too, very nice video, 5/5. 6/5 if i can find out the name of the last song ).

[Kyuss7979]

whatever your most comfortable with, do it...and i my guild hasnt been in SSC in months lol, but thx for comments :P

[Candyman1942]

Nice Movie, but you should have mentioned that this is the perfekt setup for tanking him.

I tank him with a 00/21/40 build and it works fine, but I did not know the CoD tricks, thank you for that ;)

Another hint from me would be to use life drain after he split and only about 5 or 10 searing pain, because you only must have more aggro than the healers.

[Kyuss7979]

Oh man this was a long time ago, umm i had the blue crafted set from aldor, some of hte badge gear etc, and for stats wanna say from memory maybe 750-800 spell dmg, not alot of spell hit because of the FR gear

[viigraphix]

what gear did you have? and what were your stats ? ie. spell dmg and hit ?

[nsh93]

cheers I'll be tanking him fro the first time on monday, and this is going to help

[laprunner69]

how did it go?

[batjutsu]

Cheers, might be Lock tanking Leotheras soon, so great to see a good video :)

[CoupeGrace]

Yo homey, that is tight nice vid Shayne

[psontis]

i don't know much about raiding...

but this is the best wow video i've seen due to the supreme choice of music...

do more plz...

[Sindelas]

Really nice video stumbled across it while i was doing some research on tanking him for my guild very inforative and the music rocks

Nice one :)

[Ausyeminem]

Oh yeah forgot to say it's a damn good video, Whats the name of the sing in it though?

[Attirbnesnej]

I'm pretty sure the artist is pendulum, however I dont know the song title.. sounds like a recording from an actual show because i recognise a lot of the tunes in it

[tombo158]

The artist is Pendulum, the song is called "Slam", however this is a remix done by a group called the Voodoo People I believe. Not sure what the second song is called though.

[londonlad80s]

Your right, it is Pendulum and it is a remix, but remixed by "Voodoo People" ... the sample is voodoo people by the Prodogy

Nice vid dude.

[Ausyeminem]

I have completely shit Spell Hit and i down this easily :)

[0745601]

does 224 FR unbuffed does it or does it make all the difference? lol ;3

[Kyuss7979]

Yes need 225, i forget exact name, but when u get to 365 it goes to like "excellent" FR as opposed to just "good" or sumthing like that, so yes 225, not to say as u might not get by =\

[Kyuss7979]

umm....obviously spell hit IS a big factor, for this fight i didnt worry about it....like i ca hold aggro well enough, but as for outside of this fight for warlocks i believe max spell hit is 202 (16.02%) or something like that, thats what you should ideally aim for, max spell hit will ultimatly increase ur dps the most, and as for the curses, its ur call i didnt bother casue i had other locks in the raid with curses up, but thats all your choice :D

[SpaceInv8R]

Excellent guide thx

Two questions:

What would you aim for +spell hit wise?

Would you consider using CoE when CoD has run out for extra dam/agro?

Thx again

[Kyuss7979]

Badge rewards are good, or you can craft the boe blue set from aldor tailoring, (flameheart)

[cucuto89]

Nice video, thank you for this.

What gear do you reccomend for getting the fire resistance?

Would the badge of justice rewards be the simplest way?

[Kyuss7979]

For the spell buttons and hte cast bar, bongos2 or bartender is what i use, i use bongos2 in this video but both work

[Scirisx]

I wouldn't mind knowning what mod you're using that has all yer spells/buttons/castbar. btw :P Very nice video. wish I had a lock for this fight, Looks fun as hell. x.x iNstead I has a rogue. FIrst time I did it.. THat fucking WW ate me.

-Sciris Twisting Nether-

[Kyuss7979]

umm u gotta be more specific with the addon description i got alot in this video =\

[Zackius]

what's the name of that addon (putting all the buttons down with chats at the left side)

[BigPoot]

I tanked Leo's demon form for the first time last night. Our guild got him down on the 4th try on our first night of attempting him. This video helped a ton! Thanks for posting it.

[homLe]

Also used this when i tanked him. Used soul-link  tho, and it helped a loot tbh. Had 380 FR and about 14k hp buffed, so it was no problem for us. Thanks for the tips on spec. Good guide.

[Kyuss7979]

Oh yea lol....salv...>.> that too :P thx much feedback is always awsome :)

[iiyaya]

This video was my bible for this fight. Thank you so much, this was just bloody fantastic.

Notes I'd like to contribute: Click off Salvation (That f*cked me the first 3 times we tried this fight.)

I lucked out and got gear so that I'm 295 or so FR unbuffed, so we don't need a pally in the group, I can get another lock's Imp for Stam, and just use GoTW and the felhound for the remaining FR. Also pop flask of Fort instead of chromatic wonder. :)

[Kyuss7979]

No i dont run Soul link, sorry i forgot to mention that, but no i dont

[Enjoiiskate]

Nice man just one question.

Do you use Soul link while tanking this guy or will your pet die to quickly?

[Whielmaa]

I really liked this video!

Oh and can you tell me the names for music in the beginning? Or all of them :p

[Whielmaa]

Nevermind, Pendulum.

Had it already :p dunno why I didn't recall it

[Whielmaa]

First one is from pendulum but what is the name of the song that begins at 1:34?

[Whielmaa]

=) Got it!

It is pendulum all the way but this one was a remix! Made by Voodoo People

[Kyuss7979]

Not really if u think about it because "IF" you do get hit by the fire, and "IF" nether protection does proc, your only immune for 4 second, in which time you really shouldnt get hit again so its a waste of point IMO, really the spec i put in the video is the best spec for doing it :)

[googlebobhewtf]

wouldnt it be better to go destruction for this to get immunity to fire damage for a little bit?

[tombo158]

When nether protection procs, it wipes all of your aggro, so no, if you take this talent, you wipe ur raid.

[oskulden]

nice video.

btw i tank it in affliction specc and that works fine. (15240hp 365FR)

[Endellon]

Awesome movie mate :) Will be alot of help.

[Combat211]

The Prodigy

[Aberbarn]

Great vid helped us a lot at our fight, what is the name/group of the first song after the intro talk? :)

[iwatchvids11]

nice vid, definatly helped, thanks

[SniffelzZ]

5/5 nice destro locks can do this 2
