Turn 8 Tanking. Pulling Dreads

[Steady]

Stand almost in the very center of Avatar. Where a brainjack person might stand but so Avatar is still facing forwards.

Shield Lob dread when it pops. You'll be in range. Pop some cooldowns for hate generation if nothing else (even Tempered Will helps here), then move back a bit so the dread isn't cleaving whoever is going to do brainjack.

If you're having to spin avatar around or flip him 180, you're overcompensating.

I recall doing that once and the raid group taking damage, Which was why I went to the left, turning the boss 90 degrees away. Not sure if it was a heal following gas bomb (or w/e it's called) and it briefly turned... though it never lost aggro on my screen. Doing this doesn't turn the boss 180, But it does cause the dread to veer away from the party before being re-situated towards the center.

I don't have issues with hate. I use thrill of battle for the extra enmity from the heal, for when it spawns.
