The Blood Council Prince Keleseth Warlock Range Tanking PoV

[dannyvolin]

im a better lock then you hahahahahahahah jk your amazing.!

[scouserdoyle]

do locks have to tank this ?

[Justcallmemommy]

Our guild was having a really hard time with this. We seemed to be getting the mechanics down just fine until we got to Keleseth. Than all of a sudden we're all getting knocked back, can't get heals up, nothing. And our lock tank was taking a LOT of damage, no matter how many orbs he had up. Now, he wants at least three up at all time? If he has more, it still stacks, right? I think I actually learned more from this one than from tankspot's.

nice this is great (^)

[GenesisOfApoptosis]

How do you keep aggro on Keleseth without dieing? The moment i took aggro he turned around and 1 shotted me.

[GenesisOfApoptosis]

@GenesisOfApoptosis forgot to mention, i'm a lock aswel.

Good vid - I get to do this tomorrow. Made two attempts today, and while I think I had the basic idea right, it seemed disorganized and I didn't feel comfortable with it yet. Watching this helped me get a better idea of what to expect and how to deal with it. Thanks for sharing!

[r0binl44n]

ehhm... my warlock does more threat with normal dpsing than by spamming searing pain, or am i wrong to think that? OOORR is searing pain more a way to save mana and prevent you from having to life tap...

[thetruesithis]

wait keleseth is a boss in ICC isn't he also a boss in UK??

[halindan]

yes, and also one of them comes from old kingdom.

[halindan]

and another one is from naxxonar, which he was a mini boss you kill in the last rites quest.

[kalixsharing]

Hahaha, "Heey, we rock" :D

[JohnnyV920]

i swear every dude that talks on vent sounds the same...

[TheErikus]

Like I said correct me if I am wrong and it's very possible that I am wrong since I have never actually done this fight. However I gathered that info from video entitled: "Warlock Ranged Tanking Guide - Blood Princes (Keleseth) ICC 25" here on youtube.

[TheErikus]

Correct me if I am wrong but I don't understand why you keep attacking the purple spheres. Their aggro works differently than regular mobs. What I mean is, whoever attacked them last gets aggro, therefore there is NO need to keep attacking them with searing pain once you have corruption up. It doesn't matter how much damage you do to them, but the last person to damage them will have their aggro. You do need to build up aggro on Keleseth though, he is just regular on that.

[TheMoranez]

At the time, I was not sure how orb aggro worked but I did not use searing pain on the orbs I used rank 1 corruption. Note that this fight is recorded the week of the wing release. Rank 1 is nice for instant cast and does almost no damage and will pull off of cleave melee. Searing pain is going to the focus target via macro.

[Hereson0]

Look at the healing on the lock: It goes like: 10k 10k 10k 26k 5k 5k 10k 10k

Nice! 70% of them are crits xD

[PaddyBcummins]

I am going to do this boss tommorow, and i have one question: Do i KILL these purple sphere things (as well as keeping aggro) - or are they meant to stay alive?

[TheMoranez]

They need to stay alive they are your damage mitigation from shadow lance hence rank 1 Corruption. Also a note this is normal mode not herioc and though my tactics are correct they are overkill now for this fight

[thielenm]

wow nice frame rate...is framerate processor based? I just upgraded my old crappy videocard and barely improved performance...25 mans suck

[TheMoranez]

Wow is not GPU based game while it does help having a decent ram/ processor clocks is better. The recording was happening on another hardrive. Disable vsync, shadows and any of the lag fixes they have as they also severely limit frame rates.

[TheSpydon]

What Spec did you have and what sort of gear/gems/chants did you have?

Links would be sweet:)

[TheMoranez]

I used a variation of 40/30 with points in complete mititagtion along with glyph of soul link and fel hunter and regular enchants I will update my info now :)
