Tried it last night, it worked! The only thing that was bugging me was invis not going through for the 2 attempts after mirrors, even when frozen blows wasn't up but nonetheless I went all out and just called for taunts.
We had a slight problem with npcs this time actually, we tried assigning 3 hunters to break out just mages but it didnt work and we lacked a lot of storm power.
Wow I just figured out why this has been confusing me so much, I was thinking about all classes when it's about mages and mirrors and it's permanent because we can pop mirrors, go way past the tanks threat, call for a taunt, invis and now the tank has the threat of whoever he taunted off of permenantly.
You're confused. Taunt gets the top person's threat, period.
Yes, that's a good way for mages to help the tank ramp up his post-taunt threat which gives other classes a big threat ceiling.
DPS threat is 100% dependent on when you get storm power, and if you're distributing it well you're unlikely to have it all the time, so your threat likely won't continue to climb. If it does, use invis.
The reason you usually don't want to pull off the tank is because getting the boss out of position is Very Bad -- for example, think about Ignis. or Thorim.
Can you elaborate? "Rather have dps hold back, just have the tank ready to taunt"
If said dps aren't holding back how is a taunt supposed to prevent hodir from running straight back to whichever dps has aggro that is going all out? Am I missing something about what taunt actually does? I thought no matter what dps has to be at 110% or under to not pull?
I'm curious how you mannage storm cloud: do people who get storm power run around giving it to others or he just stands still waiting for people to get near him and get the buff?
The person with Storm Cloud receives no benefit from it, so the rule is that they run around and give it to people.
As a mage I can easily blink to grab it, so I do, but most people just stand there and wait -- only 6 people can get stormpower anyways, it's not worth losing all your DPS by running around chasing one person.
thanks for the vid, good watch as always. was pretty funny, in our 10 man the first time we did this someone was hesitant that we'd win since we had a few more melee than ranged, ended up being melee smashed the ranged in dps and nailed the timer.
I can't put links in comments but if you google for "fusion-guild" (with a dash), there's a WWS url right on our front page. We're the first hit for that search term.
We also upload to World of Logs.
We rarely if ever upload to WMO, so I wouldn't search for us there.
Frost DKs benefit the most from the Storm Power buff. Their attacks have 65%+ crit chances and deals magical damage. It's not uncommon to have DKs chaining 45k Frost Strikes 4 times in a row.

Not temporary.

But it's the best way to do Hodir.

Taunt sets the tank's threat at the DPS who pulled.
We never hold back and we use "just taunt" each week and we kill him easily, I assure you it works.

Do you have a WWS set up for your raid, and if so, could you provide a link to it. I'm interested in the dps numbers in general in your guild.

Certainly of DK's they do.
Casters are still stronger overall.
The written strategy goes into more detail on the classes -- 3 minutes is just VERY short to try to explain everything, so I tried to summarize it.
