Catey's L2P How to Bear Tank: ToC 10m (Beasts of Northrend)

*SONG TITLES CAN BE FOUND BELOW*
A very simple video I whipped up to give all you bear tanks a little extra know-how on the first boss in ToC. You can use this video as a guide to tanking 25m, as well. Be wary that, of course, 25m bosses have more health and (duh!) more people in your raid. ***Below is a brief overview of the three bosses you will encounter in the first portion of ToC:

--Gormok the Impaler: Allow your OT to taunt Gormok off you once you have accumulated an Impale stack of 3. You will do the same to him when he has an Impale stack of 3. Allow your Impale stacks to fall off before taunting off your OT. Rinse and repeat until dead. Although it is unlikely as a tank, you may experience a fire bomb landing on you. Simply strafe to move away from it.
--Dreadscale and Acidmaw: Always tank these facing away from the raid. Move slightly when a Slime Pool is dropped. Worms will swap roles when they burrow. Stay as close to raid as possible when you have Burning Bile. This debuff gets rid of the slowing and stunning you may be experiencing in your groups.
--Icehowl: move away from designated charge are. You can determine where he will be charging by the direction he is facing after he stuns. Tank against a wall.

Jenifyer you're an awsome Druid Tank, does it take long to pick up on how to do it? cause it looks quite difficult, i'm only used to DK tanking :)

[jenifyer]

@connorkwl

Knowing the placement of the bosses is crucial on this fight. Especially on the worms. They burrow and you need to pick up the correct worm and be prepared to face it away from the raid. Watching this video will give you a good idea of where you should be tanking mobs. When tanking the worms, I suggest following the trail it makes when it burrows, then growl when it emerges.

wats the first song called that plays

@terrylz

You should ALWAYS check the video notes. That would have saved you some time.

It's called Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold.

How much Hp and dodge do I need to do toc 10 ?

[jenifyer]

@ThunderingAlliance

30k HP is about the minimum for ToC 10m. Dodge should be at 35% or so.

Don't stack your dodge past 40%. You can only dodge 3 attacks in a row before getting hit. Thus, it is not worth getting more dodge than 40% I am at 46.54% as a 5900 GS tank. This is an excess, but it comes in Druid gear. You shouldn't have to worry about dodge at all as a Druid. : )
