Wod run - Tank

[Nerael]

Some minor tips

Chimera's
Keep them a certain distance away from the raid and stun Rams voice/Dragons voice, Prioritize on Dragon's voice as it will apply a paralysis debuff on all party members. Get ready to pick up adds and/or dragon right after and gather them all up together so they can be AOE-ed down.

Angro Mainu (The eye Boss)

• Face away when he casts mortal gaze regardless of role
• MT should always keep him facing directly north. This way the floor debuff will always be in the exact same position and make it easy to alternate for people. When you as MT need to switch. Moment it pops up, run through him. Wait for debuff to hit and run back immediately. Boss will remain in same position this way. Just in case you are in range of flare or Doom, simply move a little back and head back into position soon as it's over. He will not move or deal damage while casting this.
• OT should pick up adds and help DPS

Dragon boss (Multiple head Hydra/Dragon mix)
MT should lure boss all the way north, this way his cone AOE doesn't hit half the arena
OTs should stand in poison puddles when possible to stop the slimes from spawning (only 1 person needed)

Howling atomos

• Stay away from marked player.
• Run to center during shockwave
• Tank the add as he can hit dps or healers quite hard

Cerberus
A = Adds, B= Belly, C= Cerby

• Adds = Tank Wolfsbane adds (don't position yourself inbetween the add and the insta-death puke pool. The adds do a knockback attack which can possibly knock you into it)
• Belly = Tank unknowns
• Cerby = Tank cerby, keep him at the North side to make it easy for chains fase. When he does Ulation stand near a party member so you don't get feared (Usually someone will run to you to stop this from happening). You need to stand next to them for 5 seconds if you get the debuff or you will still be feared.

Cloud of darkness
MT really just needs to rotate cooldowns and tank it at the edge to make life easy for dodging the line AOE. OT's might want to stand by the pick up aggro if needed. This boss can hit quite hard sometimes and I see plenty of tanks go down during this fight

Thanks to all, was very helpful. Main ones I was not sure on were the light/dark aoe stacks on the first boss, so good to know just to dart through. Tanking the dragon further north is a good tip. I made the mistake of getting hit a few times by the cloud, but had a good alliance.

For any other newbies reading, great tips above, but I found after 3 or so runs all the info made a lot more sense.

I did lose hate a little, I upgraded from i90 rings to 110 and had one str focus instead of vit, that seemed to help (novus + 100 left and 2 120's right, 1 100 + rings). I play on Tonberry, the other tanks seem to be pretty good, they were 130+ so if they wanted to pull hate I think they could have, but everyone gave me time, I threw in a bersek/unchained to help up the aggro and went pretty well. Didn't MT till 3rd or 4th run which was good.

Felt like hero OT when I had to rechain Cerberus as no one else was :-)
