The Angry Dwarfs

Don't make the dwarf angry (even if he doesn't look like a dwarf)

How you should NOT do the Twin Val’kyr speed kill.

Posted by Saithir On September - 22 - 2009

Faction Champions, ToC-10. I switch my warrior to Arms to provide MS debuff, since nobody else in the raid has it. We kill them pretty easily.

We group up for the Val’kyr, so I switch back to my tanking spec, one of the healers switches to dps in order to get the speed kill easier, ready check, we pull them.

I notice dps pulling aggro off me very early, which usually doesn’t happen. Oh well. Grab the boss, devastate it a few times so it doesn’t go off me again, pull it closer to the other one. Then I notice something weird – my shield slam button is greyed out and when I press it, it doesn’t do anything.

I look at the character tab and see that I’m still in my Arms gear. With a 2-hander and a blue pvp trinket.

“Guys you won’t like what I’m about to say.”

I quickly switch the weapons around, since that’s all I can do while in combat, and we proceed to kill it. Fortunately the normal mode Val’kyr hit like sissies, even with 418 defense + 20 resilience.

You tank with *what* gear?

(And yes, I’m still alive and kicking.)
