Just a quick upload of a training run in vAA HM. Solo tanking boss, atros + axes while keeping decent uptimes of debuffs on the main boss.

Notable buffs: Engulfing 74%, crusher 50%, alkosh 50%

Gear used for this was:

Ebon 5x body - so group doesn't get 1s by chain lightning.

Alkosh 5x jewelry + weapons - better than torugs here as it's easier to apply while juggling so many adds.

Lord warden 2x - group support and some extra res for myself.

Important to note is that you have to time your warhorn usage + potions so you do not run out of stam. No stamina - dead tank.

If you taunted each axe once when it spawned they'll keep aggro on you if you just keep ONE of them taunted. You can actually let the taunt expire on the rest and they'll stay aggroed on you - this helps with resource management as you don't have to spam puncture. The only problem with this is that if one of the mini mages drops on you and knocks you back the axes will aggro randomly.

Also props to chaos for solo healing this o.o

I had no idea, much appreciated :)

Would you possibly post a gear/skills/cp video for this character?

Regards.

I'll most likely do a quick video for next patches setup.. gearwise as I'm tanking there's lots of options. Usually its me on torugs + alkosh.. for this it was ebon + alkosh. Good sets to have around are torugs, ebon, alkosh, powerfull assault, lord warden, bloodspawn. skills are mostly the same for every run with 2 flexspots in backbar. good skills for these spots are drain, talons, purge, chains, speedbuff, blood altar, crushing shock, mistform, vamp drain.

I hope that helps a bit (: cp is standard tanking cp really.

    That’s interesting about only keeping one taunted. If I’m on the rock I can hold them without casting anything on them, but assumed it’d be madness if a DPS AoE struck one.

    This might become the new go-to strat then. Being able to keep up crusher/Alkosh is huge, not to mention both healers can cover the whole group. Nice job!
    DO. NOT. WIPE. (in game OR out!)
