Hello,i recently started tanking and i learned to tank heroic bosses on the move and surpisingly to me they invited me to tank Sire heroic progress while they all knew i dont know tactic at all.
2 of 11 my deaths (wipes) comes from him hitting me for 30+20k+18k of which 30k is pure melee while trying to dodge massacre where i turned back on him. Do i need to backpedal and crawl in order to get somewhere fast or i can just move side-step like and hope he doesnt hit me from behind? Whats the catch this this mechanis?
Typos in last sentence - Whats the catch with this mechanics?*
You can’t dodge or parry attacks from behind.
So never have your back to a boss.
Yes i am aware of that its impossible to dodge/parry but do i as a tank take extra damage if i turn my back on him. Like 50-100-200% more or no?
No you don’t take extra but remember that during massacre you’ll have less heals coming in because the healers are dodging. Strafing is always best, you can move full speed and not show him the “x” on your back.
I dont know if its irrelevant, but in that case we had a problem for 1-2 wipes because tank was dying to huge numbers and that was because when you step on the Rancor patch you take increased damage and you will most likely die.
No. It’s just being unable to dodge/parry. The melee attack power itself is the same and is based on how much armor you have and if you had active mitigation up or not.
