LK and Sindy

[Fayera]

Hey guys,

Our guild made it to Sindy last night and hopefully we downing here tonight if all goes well with LK following. I know most of you guys have done this before but I would like some input into what to do from a tank point of view on LK and melee dps.

Sindy looks kinda straight forward on tankspot and we did 1 practice run last night with 3 dps and got her to 50% then she enraged lol

I'm worried about LK. Problem is tankspot is not clear for me on what you do as a tank and melee dps.

Watching the encounter done perfectly ala Tankspot guide is quite different to actually doing it... but if you've learnt what to expect, it's a case of wiping a few times till you feel comfortable with positioning

Sindy is easy..... LK is a fking nightmare. Sindy you only need to really worry on the last phase when people start getting iceblocked... dps it down while another member runs off to get iceblocked.. hide behind it so the debuff doesn't stack too high.

LK is 3 or 5 phases, depending on what you call phases.... first worry about getting the first 2 down and then deal with the nightmare of P3 with Valkyries and Defile....... oh defile.... it will make you have nightmares.

Tanking LK is probably the easiest. You just need to know when the phase changes are happening and move out of defile. The tank isnt affected by valkyr. As for other melee, they can really stuff up the raid if the valkyr goes for them and they near the edge.

We had all ranged and healers in the center and when valkyr is coming, melee runs to the range. This is to ensure you have the valky start in the center and gives you sufficient time to dps it down. If you cant dps valkyr down when they start in the center then your dps needs work. Things get complicated when you get defile and valkur at the same time, althought if defile drops in the center as valkyr spawns its not too bad, because the valky is moving away from the center and you just need to move as well. Its when everyone scatters to avoid defile and someone ends up near the edge and gets a valkyr on them. Your raid should focus on maintaining position above all else. Its more important than dps. You can have uber dps, but without keeping position, valkyr will kill your raid one by one and the 13k dps becomes irrelevant. You will find even with 1 death that you cant down LK at first. Melee should not be tempted to get that last big hit off when the valkyr raid warning comes up. MOVE.....

When defile is about to hit and the valkyr spawn is not imminent, everyone should spread to the edge and run back in to the center ASAP for the valkyr after the defile has dropped. This keeps the defile out of the center for as much as possible, allowing dps on the LK.

Thats how we did it anyhow.

PS. The valkyr can be slowed., but only once per spell. It becomes immune. With fury warrior I could hamstring them once. Im pretty sure priest can shackle once as well. Just dont hamstring and shackle at the same time its a waste. Maybe deathknights can freeze them ???. Another reason for melee to move the center to help slow and kill valkyr.

Does Seal of Justice still affect them?

K cool lemme add my 2 cents worth:

Sindra normal & hc & achievie is pretty easy these days, tankspot explains them perfectly so watch it. The fight only really starts @ 35%. Most important thing is: Do NOT panic and its an easy kill.

LK is also actually damn easy and you will see that after you've killed it the 1st time. Again Tankspot explains its pretty nicely and after you've done a try or 2 you will get it.

Main thing for a new group is dropping defile off correctly. You have time to move when u get defile. Also let your raid members enable /say on defile in DBM and drop it off 2 the sides.
Valks should be really no problem with the 30% buff. @ 40% move boss close to edge for transition so u don't take 2 much dmg from Remorseless Winter.

Now the part so many people fail @ when they do LK for the 1st times P3. Tank LK @ the side of the room that is left.

When LK puts his sword up and starts 2 summon vile spirits, the tank moves the LK to the total other side of the room and every1 except the OT follows him and stays behind him and keep dpsing while spreading a little bit. Position your OT between the spirits and the raid and let him soak all the spirits (ie run into them etc). Range dps can kill them also if they know wtf they doing BUT its far easier to just let them go in one line towards the LK & raid and soak them with the OT. OC still watch out for defile.
Do this and this phase is real easy!

When some1 gets ported into Frostmourne make sure ppl know wtf 2 do:
DPS kill the add and interrupt his channel on the friendly when he casts it. ie stun
Healers heal the friendly and interrupt the channel he does now and then. Priests dispell, Pallies stun, Shammies winds & oc the hardest is druids -
hot & heal, just before channel go bear, hit him for rage & stun and go kitty on 2nd channel, rake for combo points and then maim.
But seriously make sure ppl know wtf 2 do inside or they will wipe you

Rinse and repeat and @ 10% hp left its a kill. don't release
