A nice guide, thank you.
I have some questions about the mechanics of the tanking challenge on Raptus in HM. Last night, I went into the tank challenge alone while our MT stayed outside to kite the boss and re-establish agro after the challenge phase. With CDs, I survived the challenge with about 35-40% health (I'm in 72s and 78s, parser said the AE pulse was for about 600 dmg), but one of our groups failed a challenge. The second time I went in, I was being pulsed with AE damage for about 1500 every .6 seconds and died before the challenge ended. I only had one of my CDs available during the challenge.
Here are my questions:
1. If two tanks go into the challenge, does that halve the pulsing AE damage between them? Or do they each suffer the full brunt of the AE damage? Or does the challenge end faster when the damage has been soaked up?
In other words, what is the advantage of putting both of your tanks into the challenge?
2. If you go with the single tank strategy, would you recommend that the tanks rotate who does each challenge to ensure that CDs are ready? So the OT does the first challenge and the MT does the second?
3. If you fail a challenge, is it a necessity that both tanks enter the challenge the second time?
4. Assuming you don't fail a challenge, I assume it would be better for one tank to go in and one to stay out in order for the outside tank to maintain agro and (assuming they avoid the boss) be totally topped off to start the next phase. Correct?
Thanks,
