Downing of Anub'Arak - ToGC 10 - Heroic
The quality of the video should increase within the hour of posting as Youtube re-renders the video. Even though I rendered and uploaded it using the same renderer and codex's they use. Just dumb!
Heroic 10 man Anub'Arak - Detail of strategy used.
The goal: Power through Anub'Arak so that he submerges only once. Take him down to under 60% before submerge.
We initially tank Anub'Arak (AA) where he spawns, at the north of the theater. In heroic, you only have 6 permafrosts to use for the whole fight, so managing them is important. We place a permafrost on AA's feet. When the burrowers spawn, the off tank picks them up and moves them to the permafrost. We maintain DPS on Anub and position him so that splash damage from AOE attacks will kill the burrowers. The burrowers for us will die just before the second set spawns. The second set is off tanked at the same place.
Just prior to submerge, the main tank moves Anub away from the permafrost to help avoid an accidental busting of the permafrost. At which point the entire raid begins to make their way to the south end of the room, where two more permafrosts will be dropped by the designated person. One needs to be dropped to the East South East and the other to the West South West. When Anub submerges, he will randomly pick a raid member to follow. That person is to continue to the south while the non-targeted people run back to the north and help down the last of the burrowers if they are still up. The targetted player needs to run behind a permafrost (not through it or stand on it) but position themselves so that the spikes have to go through the permafrost to reach him.
Once the spikes get break the permafrost, he will target somebody else in the raid (hopefully not the same person), who will be at the north end of the room. At the north end of the room, drop another permafrost for Anub to be kited through. Once he selects the second member, he will start chasing them with the spikes. Everybody else heads back south while the targeted person situates themselves so the new permafrost is between them and Anub. Once he breaks that permafrost, he will again target somebody else to the south and the process starts again. Everybody not targeted heads north, the targeted person situates themselves behind the permafrost. Once Anub breaks the permafrost, he will start to head north. We found that he will emerge before he breaks the 4th permafrost if you have used the entire room.
Once he emerges, move him to over a permafrost as at the beginning of the fight. As the burrowers spawn, tank them on the permafrost in such a way the dps on Anub will splash to the burrowers and they die before or as the next set spawn. In the heroic version, the burrowers continue to spawn even after the 30% milestone. If our DPS is good enough, this rotation is going to work wonderfully. Once 30% hits, use all your trinkets, heroism \ bloodlust and anything you have to get ahead of the healing done by the swarm effect. Otherwise it is exactly like normal except instead of 10% health leeched, it is 20%. The biting cold makes i much more difficult to heal.
Practicing this strategy on normal mode will help you get the required muscle memory to do it on heroic.
