TankSpot's Guide to Icecrown Lord Marrowgar (Hard)

[dawnzii]

it may be me but why dont i see blood presence?? >_>

[bradweatherall]

how did you get pop ups saying -cold flame-move away?

[AimForTheTeeth]

@bradweatherall get an addon called GTFO

[bestgamer2112]

still looks like a cake walk

[zehsource]

rofl, worst DK ever, doesnt even know how to strafe.

[wannabeers]

lmfao some noob in ur raid turned the icc buff off? xD

[volpini6]

@wannabeers im pree sure your the noob if u need the icc buff to do ICC :p

[Vaaughan]

@wannabeers This was recorded before they even implemented the icc buff.

[xufengtiancai]

what addons do you use?

[ricopower14]

you have shadowmourne?

[connorkwl]

@ricopower14 thats shadows edge

[danjhew]

Morgan Freeman? great idea.......

Samuel L Jackson  EPIC

Mutha Beeeepin Bonestorm

[DKbloods]

I haven't done a heroic yet, and i am wondering out of 1-10, how difficult is it?

[MrDeathenergy]

i loved ur vid dude it was quite and not fulled with hard rock i loved it bro thank you so much

[killdeer77]

Checked your toon out on wow armory sick gear man, I love your Shadowmourne too. :D

[dndwexplorer]

the flame doesnt do much damage to a tank just let ur tanks cook in it it doesnt matter its not bad on healers either i both tank and heal 25 ICC every week this works, just throwing a suggestion to help your tanks=P i hate having to move while tanking

[wellb0t]

@dndwexplorer orly? if u r tanking with 2 tanks and both of them are standing in the coldflame, that ticks for 10k/sec for 8 seconds it means ur healers have to heal unnecessary 2 times 80k hps. Yeah maybe no big deal right now, with 277+ gear, but in the begining it was quite problematic for healers to handle this. And, tanks are here in raid for soak dmg ofc, but as anyone else in raid they should avoid any damage they can. Sry for my english, not from eng speaking country. ;)

[dndwexplorer]

@wellb0t LOL i really didnt think i was watching the heroic version of this lol to be honest i thought i was watching the 25 man(normal) cause i was busy while watching it. lol but in normal 10man and 25 man if ur healers arent totally bad geared you can get away with cooking in fires ... lol just posted in wrong video haha i feel retarded now

[Pocketlaxchamp]

@wellb0t i

Your English is actually quite good compared with most of the 12 year olds who post on youtube.....

[ClothyCentral]

LOL @ the title. anything with marrowgar and ``hard´´ is funny

[Gsvbhwow]

@ClothyCentral It actually means "Hard Mode", not that the fight is actually hard on this mode. Hope you know that...

[ClothyCentral]

@Gsvbhwow yes, well then your hope has come true.

[g3tsom3]

this guy is a bad ass. he tanks with shadowmourne!

i know its shadows edge in the video but he now has shadowmourne.

[Parano1dlol]

@g3tsom3 yes, DK makes excelent tanks with shadowmourne :) unless their DW frost with 2x 1h, but its not as good 2h on holding threath!

[SuperCowSaysMoo]

@Wowally Dude, they call themselves TANKspot, so... L2Read

[xTSniFFs]

[QbCro]

Hej! Tjek den her Danske guide til Lord Marrowgar HC,

Der vil blive lavet 100% danske raid guides til Icc fremover

Husk at fortæl alle jeres wow venner ;)

[Tehduffz]

nice vid, and @WoWally tanking is definitely not boring, you just think it is because you've never tried it :P

[archlorddestin]

@Tehduffz I think what WoWally meant was that viewing from a tank perspecitive is usually boring, not actually playing the game as a tank.

[TheDeralte]

Bonestorm RNG is so lovely, killed 2 healers :(

[operationh2o]

@TheDeralte its not RNG its set to attack the target that's further-est way from where hes standing

[WoWaIIy]

well done (killing boss) but movie not very impressing, maybe because made from tank point of view, they are usually boring.

[MARV361theSTAR]

So man ugly shit on his interface D: omg

[maxbreithaupt]

your voice is extremely low

[Kerblabitymickeyman]

So I noticed a lot of the time when a Coldflame lanced out at you, alot of the time you would jump and strafe out of the way. Does jumping help out with avoiding the damage at all, or is it just a GHAGAGHGAH FLOOR BURNING kinda reaction?

[milanchristoph]

nah they need David Atenbrough that would be good and i would watch them more

[Clbull118]

13000 damage at the centre of a Marrowgar 25 Heroic Bone Storm? How the fuck is that survivable?

[pieisgood1232]

@Clbull118 Dont get near the center

[MaMafiaFromDenmark]

Saw spyte got Shadowmoure now Gratz

[jelbic]

James Earl Jones would be the logical choice for any narration imo.

[Alexm799]

@jelbic I was gonna say that! :p

[deadlyshado]

wtf? is he not using frost pressence lol??

[korncomingundone]

@deadlyshado yes he is look at his buff bar on HD.

[BILLCOSBY9001]

LOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

This guy sucks cock at WoW....

[framotvolt]

@kvodkaftsomeshitidno

clearly you are not a tank

[kvodkaftwthx]

terrible just like lore. Marrowgars hitbox is so big you could run around in circles and he wouldn't move so stfu. figure out how to strafe.

[VideosWrecked]

na thats just shadow's edge

[Mine172]

hes actually holding Bryntroll, the Bone Arbiter

[Ultimatefightr4]

Is it me or is he holding Shadowmourne?!?!?

[Greed76]

@ultimatefightr4

Lord Marrowgar is holding Bryntroll, the Bone Arbiter

[axlesteel22]

Its ShadowsEdge

[Shalannan]

I agree with x4dow. If he was a noob, he wouldn't have survived that far nor would be doing ICC hard mode. Also, look up stuff before saying anything...

[x4dow]

hes not a noob, Reason why tanks dont Strafe, its because bosses move diferently if u turn and run forward or straft, in other words, if u strafe , boss will move. Read up before u speak, Tank spot tanking reference, positioning and movement: v=KmOPuziOWuA

[ZakanzSkadooshTD]

@x4dow O.o Thanks I never knew.

[avedaavedaaveda]

why dont he just strafe with W, D, mose right button and W, A, mouse right button if he got q and e on key binds? o0 zomg

[avedaavedaaveda]

@avedaavedaaveda without the W >.> misstyped it twice

[Lime420]

nice i cant wait to try this.

[Xylon666Darkstar]

Strafing must be really hard for that DK tank.

[Raltheia]

can do hard modes, but cant strafe. ah well. if thats the price you pay to do hard modes :)

[Moue666]

BOOOONE STOOOOORM!

[Championsmasta]

@Moue666 HEY that's what your mom says before she goes down on me :D

[judaserebus]

Aye penguin... so do I. Regularly. This is closer to 30 fps or so.

[RestoSexual]

if you have to go watch the regular mode video after this one please cancel your account....

Also, did anyone notice the tanks wepeon? :D exiting

[DustyWills]

Why don't they stand inside hit-box to dodge flames?..

[shadownetspy95]

you can actually use the AI to turn the boss around if you stand a bit too far in the hit box. This might cause a cleave - wipe

[cameronashouri]

Tankspot should get Morgan Freeman to narrate their vids

[djanigav]

@cameronashouri hahahah that would be bad ass!

[firehotbanana]

@cameronashouri Yeah!!

[danjhew]

Morgan Freeman great Idea!

Samuel L Jackson... Epic

[TheGrimhildr]

@cameronashouri INORITE

[Luis766]

@cameronashouri LOL

[TheGregoryPartridge]

@cameronashouri Morethan Freeman would do too :)

[EnfoldingTheDepths]

Anyone notice the tanks first attack was a miss?

[brinegret]

You know if you sit inside Lord Marrowgars hitbox the blue flames don't hit you right?

[justthePhoenix]

58.6k health in 10 man, damn.. that's a lot!

[bbqpring]

not really........

[BassDumbo]

@Mojostealerz69r Omg, ur so fkin funny...

[WoWDart]

Can we get someone that doesnt sound like they r bored out of their mind to do the commentary plz.

[McGarvinStudios]

@WoWDart So you would rather have Darksend narrate and talk like this? Every single time? Lol?

[0424545269]

i know i suk at multitasking with this crap lol

[speedolord]

Is it just me, or does he have Shadowmourne?

[savageboner]

Shadow's Edge

[trimitrim]

It's not shadowmourne,it's shadow's edge

[imfy1993]

omfg fail tank.. srsly how hard is it to move out of Coldflame??

[PrayingEagle]

He's probably doing the call outs too. In most encounters the OT will be chosen to call out basically everything that DBM shouts at you, and he probably sucks at multi tasking lol

[darkivn]

Tank who keyboard turns and doesn't strafe FTL... O.o

[ElchinMendes]

Female Orc Death Knight....why do you hate yourself so much to make a character like that?

[nicolaiarnesen]

is that a 59.4k health tank i see?

[0424545269]

thelilblackstar you should read stuff on dk tanking before saying stuff like that blood tank=two hander, frost tank=1 handers and in some cases 2 hander

[TheLilBlackStar]

2 handed Frost Tanking dk tanks take more dmg then other classes from a Healing view haeling a Pally is easy im sure the Block>Blood dk proc's Moron Child.

/FaceDesk

[neomasterc]

hes 2h blood i believe.

[TheLilBlackStar]

Really but there are No 2 handed tanking swords so thats Fail. and making 2 handed tanking swords is pointless as well.

[shozanah101]

@TheLilBlackStar Block>WotN proc??? woooot!? Are you talking about heroics where tank doesnt fall below 80% Block is has a % to happen while WotN proc after every hit which brings you below 35% which is like how all bosses hit in ICC 25 H. what is better: 3-4k RANDOM block or 15% cut from every incoming hit? WotN increases blood dk EH by crazy amount and makes dmg less spikey.Tanks dont die because of they dont have enough avoidance, they die because of spikey dmg.

[Shadowf118]

HOLY CRAP your guys's dps are all around 9-10k

[GraniteLife]

Thats not that amazing...

[TheLilBlackStar]

@Shadowf118 for icc 10/25 guild runs thats Normal for Pug's however... People lie!

All im sayin

[Hordewins]

Ask any healer out there.. Pallies > Dks tanking. lol. But there are still some good ones out there.

[PrayingEagle]

My main's a pally heals, i find DKs (blood) are much easier to heal in most encounters, mostly due to their god like cooldowns (Vampiric Blood = 35% more healing = 32k+ HL crits? Yum.) which make any soft enrage easy to overcome. Plus via Death Strike they heal themselves for 10k every 3 or 4 seconds, so as a healer i reckon they're the second best behind pally, my own opinion of course.

[nyphix4321]

jeez i didnt really realize bllod was that good .... im lvling a dk might think about taking up blood tanking when im 80 and yes i have another 80 lol

[s1ppr]

GREAT COMMENT!

This comment can contribute to much good things in the world. LOVE YOU

[LinearPwnage]

Basically all i get from this video is that this guy is still trash with a bigger health pool

[MrXMooseyX]

U cant really call him a bad tank just coz hes moving a lil slow...im pretty sure hes better geared than u..hes also doing ICC10/25 hardmodes+leading them..somehow i dont think he's quite a noob?

[umpittar]

He doesn't strafe, he turns with his mouse and moves. It's not horrible but he probably makes less mistakes than the majority of us in other things.

[pitviper165]

Ok first off hes a DK so using shadows edge is perfectly acceptable it is a really good weapon for dps and DK tanking.

[DreadTheLocks]

To all the people hating on this, first of all he is the leader of a top 200 guild, so I don't really see it possbile for him to be a bad tank. Also yes, it is shadows edge, just check his armory

[Devastator771]

really wish i had a good guild... and was on a good server...

[Next0gen0]

@Devastator771 alot do.

[DaBushy]

so did i... then applied to another guild on another realm, and migrated. its quite simple actually

[Devastator771]

@DaBushy lol yeah but idk, i don't wanna realm switch and end up in another bad situation.

Are there realm rankings? lol

[Lostcausexx]

I thought they were alliance

[pyroticmaniac]

there are many different people from tankspot that put up videos.. ciderhelm is ally, most others are horde

[divineuchiha]

is that shadow's edge on a tank?

[Boredperson32]

It looks like Shadow's Edge...

[ArchaicShadow]

also... just a heads up but in order to get a more detailed report for this video... Im sure he stood in a couple of the flames for a few seconds to see:

1) Does more damage

2) Has a stacking debuff property

3)Impair movement

He's the tank... and Im pretty sure he's extremely geared, so I doubt him walking in flames for a few seconds to check some things out justifies him being a bad tank... his guild is in hard modes afterall

[MrTast]

Too those who complain. DId you ever play Vanillia? ;o

[TheFunPalace]

you say his tanking is bad and his frame rate is bad... and yet all of you probably haven't even made it to the litch king yet, so stfu and comment when u try this on hard mode.

[skatelaresistance]

He has a sucky framerate

[Backhymen]

Such a bad tank, honestly you shouldnt be keyboard turning by the time you make it to 25 man heroic icc. Its slows you down way to much.

[asdf55]

He isn't keyboard turning. Just because he's not strafing doesn't mean he's keyboard turning. It's pretty obvious he's just twisting his mouse and heading straight.

[Kglawl]

Yeah, he's so bad, his guild is doing 25 ICC hard modes and he's leading it. He's probably the worst ever.

[Backhymen]

Its easy to get carried for this fight, the only thing a tank has to do is move out of the flame walls, which he is doing slowly.

[tuurdman]

This tank is so bad at dodging the flames. I know when they are coming out and dodge 2 seconds before it even reaches me

[bloodmage19]

you know, if you stand in his red circle, no one would have to worry about coldflame

[Larathen]

Tanks still need to dodge it because if they stand in the red circle, the boss will read the player as overlapping and will move backwards slightly, putting tanks back in coldflame area.

[SSKH34DSHO7]

wait a min this makes no sense did they change this fight with the coldflame in my raids the flame is all over the place and never heads for the tanks like in this video.

[SSKH34DSHO7]

@MorangEnoar huh sounds good i mean it wasnt a problem for us the boss is a joke but seems like its much simpler this way and just the tanks move around for once on a tank and spank phase.

[voce1489]

Why give Shadow's Edge to your MT? That makes no sense. It's much better used in the hands of a dps.

[ddaanaan]

@voce1489: why not lol we get a new shadow's edge every week xd

[kieranhatescod]

@voce1489 death knight tanks usually do better with higher dps helps keep aggro sometimes if ur grp has high dps, although he may have another reason but i agree much better for dps

[ArchaicShadow]

they've done 7 weeks of putricide at min... that's 7 bloods, therefore 7 melee can be in their group with shadow's edge... who knows if he was one of the first or if he recently got it

[bboyshadow]

Cause unlike Paladin's and Warriors. DK's Can Still use Two Handed Weapons to tank.

- DK Enchant at Runeforge

- Stack Stamina in the Gem Slots.

Simple. Just like how a Feral Druid would do with a Staff or Polearm.

[TheLilBlackStar]

@bboyshadow kid 2 handed dk tanking cnt be done there are NO 2 handed tanking swords, and yes Pallys, warrior tanks are easier to heal since they Can Block , also pallys regain mana Via heals. Druids stack Pure armor, dks have Parry and Dodge to tank.

[Paradox127]

You can see QUITE CLEARLY he's using a 2h to tank

[bboyshadow]

Druids Stack Stamina they gain armor from thier gear and stamina but Druids have a very high Dodge Rate.

DK's roll on pure Avoidance and they all use Two Handed Weapons. All they need to do is Runeforge thier weapon to have ...

- Stoneskin Gargoyle or

- Fallen Crusader

and Boom you Have a DK tank .. Ive Ran with a lot of DK tanks and trust me it can be done.

[rudeey604]

They can Compensate for the No TANKING 2h swords with the Rune of the Stone skin Gargoyle. giving + 20 DEFENSE (not rating) and 2 % hp. Block has been nerfed out the ass lately, normally your friggen lucky to have like 20% block as a tank, DK's have 2nd the highest avoidance. and since chances are they are exalted, they have even more in ICC. i think you should go read a bit more before you flap your black mouth, so learn 2 tank. then come back. kthxbai

[hurrykaneecko]

how you know hes black?? and stop bitchin to

[rudeey604]

OH WELL HIS NAME IS "THE LIL BLACK STAR" stupid faggot

[hurrykaneecko]

haha faggot? holy shit man im so offended!!! please dont hurt me hahaha you fucking retard just goes to show how stupid and faggoty you are for saying this so fast back to me to start another arguement you arse hole i bet you wouldnt dare say it to me or anybody in real life lolz what a fuck hole i mean realy, go get a gun and shot your self in the head you would do the world a favor dont reply cus im not gonna reply back now dick head

[seconds2safety]

lulz at you and your incredibly wrong information.

[penguinpolice1]

@TheLilBlackStar Idiot learn to play healing dk blood tanks in raids is so fkn easy on Saurfang 25 they just heal them selfs no need for healing them and yeah most DK tanks are 2-handers tanks were the fack have u been?

[Infernoxv8]

what r those red bars on the middle right of ur screen? and whats the addon name? :S

[jtturbo09]

wat size are your bars???

[HoBoRaPeS]

This video really needs revising. Melee and tanks can completely avoid the coldflame in the tank and spank phase by standing right inside the hit box; no need to dance around and make it harder for yourselves.

[chickenboy621]

@HoBoRaPeS is this a presumption? because normally if you tank inside a right like that the boss tends to walk backwards a little bit

[HoBoRaPeS]

It's the way we do the fight every time. I don't have to move at all during that phase.

[megaslayer92]

You cant stack inside his red hitbox? that way the melee dps is never hit by the fire. You guys are stacking outside of it.

[stfuacidus]

good guide but damn man, you are horrible at avoiding the fire :p

[richard2mitchell]

@stfuacidus most ever dk is

[thekingsaidsomething]

same tactic eh blizz? nice work!

[LunaSaint]

So I heard the Kingy was jealous of your axe. =D

Also, this fight looks like great fun for those Hunters and Mages who absolutely fail at movement fights.

[no0bbbb]

Fraps takes about 30 fps off of what you usually run

[FrancekPirosrancek]

@no0bbbb yes if u run at 30 fps otherwise no.

[StealthyOwned]

Fraps reduces the frame-rate at which you're at as it requires the use of your graphics card and RAM, thus there is less of both for the game to use, thus reducing your FPS. Since WoW only has a maximum of 60FPS that it will intake, a reduction down to 30FPS on the fraps enabling is likely. No matter what FPS you are regularly at, running Fraps while playing will reduce your FPS.

[FrancekPirosrancek]

well if i run fraps on 60 fps i get 60 dps ingame... if i change to 30 i get 30 ingame... thats why i said that.

[PowerSlaveAlfons]

If you have a computer strong enough, there is no problem in recording 60fps.

The thing is, however, that recording at 60fps will (I think) Double the filesize compared to recording at 30fps.

Logically, you can't record just 30 fps while the game is running 60 because every other frame would be skipped.

[no0bbbb]

Grats!

[Mojostealerz69r]

lolololololololol Ah god, splug's voice makes me lol so fucking hard.

[djfreebey]

i lag like mad on that fight and im a healer to ther so bad

[darktamer44]

does he have shadowmourne?

[speedhaxu]

@darktamer44 no its shadows edge

[Mastermoviez]

u have lagg..LOL

[Taihofai]

@Mastermoviez everyone gets lag.. why is it so LOL?? 0.o

[Mojostealerz69r]

@Taihofai i think it's because he has so much lag, Looks like hes running on like 8 fps..

[penguinpolice1]

@Mojostealerz69r noo i've ran on 8 FPS and this isn't 8. 8 is more like u wanna through your comp out of the window

[zecocolt]

dude it might be the softwere hes they uses or might be youtube who knows thats making it lagg dont have to be the game you know

[Mbarnes3381]

Nice

[Directx45000]

good video, can you tell me whats the tank damage is like though?

[StealthyOwned]

The tank in this current video is a DK, so his damage is much higher then usual, it's about 3.8kDPS. If you are thinking about the need to pull damage in-order to keep aggro, you don't. I pull roughly 2-2.5k DPS as a tank, because tanks are provided with threat increasing Talents/Gear/Skills there damage does not need to be high. I tank ICC10/25 perfectly even with the amount of damage i do.
