ADVANCED Dawnbreaker Tech and 0.1% Title Route Walkthrough | The War Within Season 1 M+

[@JBX5677JB]

Thanks for the video. It is always interesting to see different routes. The first boss is the most frustrating or seconds most (Ara last boss) of the season in 12+ pugging. It is amazing how the two ranged find a way to put the puddles in the worst possible spots to cut you off.

[@nickfarace9339]

To me as a healer it feels like the easiest boss by far. For a TWW boss it has shockingly little unavoidable damage. The pools are difficult but if done right, become completely ignorable and you can even just not take a single tick too. The dot from the dispel is a joke, and that just leaves you with beam aoe which can be healed with incidental hots. Compared to the other two bosses there which are some of the hardest to heal fights in the season. Second boss is an absolute nightmare (though at least its very stationary which helps) and the third one just goes on for freaking ever. Then there is CoT where every single boss can brick a key +12 an higher.

​@@nickfarace9339 When you play with a group that knows how to position the pools, it is incredibly easy, I agree. I didn't mention anything on difficulty. I said frustrating in a pug. Frustrating != Difficult.

​@@JBX5677JBI recently got blamed for not keeping the boss in the middle of the room when DPS were dropping the puddles right on top of the boss, we wiped on beam, fun times

Another good one. As you walk through these call out what a healer should be doing every now and again. Specifically the big parts. Iv been watching healer commentary videos, but I am trying to get the tank perspective, as well. I feel like this dungeon specifically is hard with healer AGGRO. Iv had issues in the past and I now see how or where somebody messed up. Keep it up and through us healers some love!!

[@Tactyks]

Definitely something I can do a better job of, glad you enjoyed it though!

[@mohamedalmuhairi324]

you are the Best :)

[@Tactyks]

No you

[@gamertd4093]

Having such a tough time deciding what tank to play. Never tanked a day in my life lol. I have ksh as a healer and dps already, but I’m stuck between bear or vdh, which do you think is better for a newer tank player?

[@gamertd4093]

@ I’d rather not play the meta spec, I leveled my pala and just didn’t find it terribly fun honestly

[@michaelgardiner4249]

Out of the two bear is easier to play at a base level. VDH isn’t terribly hard, however you have to have a very good grasp of your defensive timings otherwise you will just disappear.

[@nickfarace9339]

@@hadishabara350 After what I have seen in 12 and 13 lately, this is no the case. Its strong for meta, but its not newbie friendly in high keys. These mofos get one shot by major tank busters all the freaking time. I feel like the answer is absolutely bear. DH is one of those specs that can and will randomly blow up and really, really needs to know a lot about the little things to ensure they don't die 1 second into a pull. They settle in to become incredibly sturdy, but it takes a bit to get there and some pulls don't give you that cushion.

Is there a WA or add-on that tells you what incoming damage is coded as, magic or physical, to learn what defenses we can use on what abilities?

[@keiya9895]

Plater and MDT can help you with that. I'm a tank and I colour code cast bars for phys and magic damage

[@Tactyks]

In terms of in-game stuff keiya gave the best advice to use something like Plater to colour code mobs, though I'm not sure there's currently a profile out there that does this for every mob. Mostly it's just knowledge before hand, where you can check things like MDT or my dungeon spreadsheet (linked in the description) to get an idea of what mobs use what abilities.
