I can’t wait to get to Vezax. This fight was made for the shield and I can’t wait to try it out

Use a DK here and let him use icebound fort(?) on every big hitting phase. We combine it with 3 priest cooldown (glyphed GS and PS) and nothing will happen to him if the itterrupts go as they should. Make 2 healing teams of 3 healers and let them switch every 2 big phases and 1on the raid and you ll kill him within the hour.

I did Vezax last week as discipline, but I coudn’t use this trick as much as I wanted.
There are not a lot a predictible damage, and as I was healing the MT, I coudn’t just stand on the energy fields and spam PW:S, I had to cast healing spells.
I tried to go in and out of the energy fields, but a PW:S that lands 2 seconds later isn’t that useful, and I’m not sure it was really effective because of latency (I didn’t have time to watch my debuffs before casting)

How do you use this mecanism ?

I also note that rapture worked during the fight.

Also, Matt, don't be shy to have your pallies use their bubble/raid damage absorbing ability during the 'enrages' to help the tank live through it - you can use PS too, but be careful since the tank's threat will be lower due to the swing speed debuff and the caster dps threat will be higher from the haste buffs. Also, if you can, try to save Saronite vapors for the last 25% too, never have morethan one green pool down at once since you'll need the mana restoration towards the end of the fight.

I Agree with Dysastria. Having all interrupt classes ready to go isn't a bad idea. I also spec into Body and Soul for this fight, and it makes the kiting phase/strategy less dependent on a Warrior's Intervene. We're planning on trying the "DK-Hold" technique tonight, so I'll be sure to give this strat a whirl! Nice insight! Caness last blog post..GG Vezax

We use mages(counterspell) and shamans(Earth Shock) to interrupt during the kiting,we also have a druid(our OT) cat dps for this and when the kiting phase is about to start out MT warrior Intervenes to him,we also bubble out MT(our other priest is specced into Body and Soul for this fight) and it helps.

Nice tip, thanks, Matt! We downed him last week on 10 man, but I haven’t thought of this trick. Will use it once we get to him again for sure =)

GB: We’re thinking about sticking a DK tank on General V just so kiting isn’t necessary.

Good luck!! This is definitely something I’ll keep in mind when I see him next. (have gotten him in 10man so far)
