..if they don't have a warlock (Yes we only have one, but our 10man does not)

I think I get to find out just how much fun it will be tonight in 10man!

Most likely I will do it tonight in our 10 man run. Me or the hunter.

Should I spec owlkinfrenzy for this?

We tried a hunter and mage last night before we had to cut things short.

How did you guys get the Nuclei to stick to your ranged tank? Ours would stick for a coulple seconds, then run off after a healer.

You want to use a Warlock (Soul Link/Fel Armor) or a Priest (Shadowform, and can pick up Spell Warding if you're having trouble). He hits hard, and this seems to be a problem area people are having. No reason to use a Moonkin with only 6% reduction and no particular advantage.

As far as Nuclei, it's hard to figure out exactly how they work--I've heard some different conjectures (I won't lie, we one-shotted the fight, so I didn't get to observe in too much detail). I think our Warlock just used Searing Pain occasionally and had no issues.

I was the Keleseth tank on our 10 man last night and I would just hit them with 1 MF to keep them on me. He hits very hard, I had fun being the range tank.

I was ranged tank today And it was FUN.
First pull I failed, kelethes ran and killed our paladin tank
Second pull, healer messed up targets, we wiped
Third try we killed it.

Realy easy boss

One moonfire on the balls and they stick to you, the follow the one last to attack them. So dont run through melee cleaving or something like that.

We used 3 healers for the fight. (10 man)

Yeah one of our 10-mans used a warlock, and the other used a DK. The DK seems to have done a much better job.

I think a Bear might be one of the best tanks, really. High HP, damage reduction, tanking cooldowns, can take a melee swing and not die, can Berserk for threat at the beginning of the fight and FFF after that.

I'm not sure FFF is enough to out threat the healers, but if you give it a try let us know. I haven't had a chance to ask our 3rd 10-man run what they used as a tank yet, and they haven't provided me any logs to check.

The DK just does an awesome job because they have reasonably good ranged threat, decent health, AMS, AMZ, and death grip. They can eat a melee swing if the boss winds up being moved too much, and so on.

I'm not sure next week in 25 man if we will use a DK or a Warlock, but it will be one of those two classes for sure.
