ICC Boss and Trash Guide for TANKS | WOTLK Classic

[@zachansen9053]

I’ve never been a main tank for a raid during wotlk until this phase. As nervous as I am for Thursday, your guides and information has made me more confident

[@SubtleFW]

You'll do great! You're already researching ahead of time and that's one of the most important things a tank can do

[@BadTriskell]

AHAH ! Love this timing, I was like "wait.. Subtle hasn't posted a video about tactics on Icc yet.." and like 2 minutes after checking your channel, BAM you posted this! Thanks my man, I'm going to enjoy this

[@SubtleFW]

Haha hope it helps!

[@dmoore4520]

Homie... I just found this channel. Came back to finish up Wrath after server fell apart during TBC TK/SSC. Just dinged 80 the other night and going into ICC Sunday. They have it on farm but this is my first time ever. Thanks for this 11/10 video!!!

[@SubtleFW]

Nice, welcome back! Some of the strats have evolved quite a bit with the 30% buff, so you'll want to check with the guild on each boss how they want you to handle it

[@dmoore4520]

No doubt, thanks! Combining this with some text strats for hopefully a nice mix.

[@fjellgutten1603]

The absolute chad of wow guides and such a nice and down to earth person! I highly recommend his twitch channel too

[@SubtleFW]

Thanks! Glad I can help

[@TheJessewithag]

You have helped me prepare for ICC from my TBC prot pally entering into world in the last phases. My only toon has 5.6 GS prot pally thanks for the tips!

[@stephenw15]

Thank you for your time, you've always been truly helpful to the community, keep it up!

[@STEVEKIS18]

Greatest content creator in the game right now

[@bloodcards3084]

thank you for including trash. saving a lot of time knowing trash mechs week 0.

[@UEAdmiral]

I took about 4 hours to review this video, and I took over 6 pages of single-spaced notes. Roughly a quarter of that is JUST Lich King. Color me daunted. Thanks for the vid! Hopefully my raid's experience will be somewhat less painful with this information in-hand.

[@SubtleFW]

Wow you should be well prepared! Let me know how it goes for you

[@ForumTroll]

Thanks again for always putting out the best tank guides every phase

[@kennethstephens992]

Great video. Thanks for posting it. Helping me tank ICC for the first time

[@ryandavis8813]

Great video Subtle! Thanks for putting this together

[@MrSkullcrazy21]

nice been waiting for your pov, thanks for all your work mate!

[@zegetable]

big appreciate the guide video. feels like such a straightforward run down, so its very helpful

[@hamburglerhelper326]

me watching this while doing icc right now. big ups subtle u the man

[@onegg04]

my guild and I (prot pally) are doing another attempt on LK tomorrow. Hopefully will get him before the next 5% crutch buff. Great detailed video. Much more in depth than those TL:DR videos.

[@SubtleFW]

GL! I'll have a commentary video out soon going into more detail on the fight

[@Mud_slam]

Thanks man! I was looking for this like 2 hours ago 😂 Your vids are bis for any tank

[@unHandlable]

Nice video , very helpful and explained in details , could you please share what addon is used to show boss castbar,duration and etc in the top middle of your screen? i’m searching for this type of stuff for a long time.. Keep it up and thanks for this video!

[@RichardWazny]

Subtle is BIS. Thanks so much for the awesome vids!

[@Zenrikku77]

Remember if your working on unholy runes for shadowmourne Remember to fill to 100% slime and grab the buff as the abomb just before the final phase and you lose the abomination. Dont do it early as the buff has a timer and i could lose the buff before the boss fight is over

[@XMrMcNuttyX]

Fantastic guide as always. Legend.

[@SAlma-kw7to]

Precious….!! Top quality content!

[@David01.d]

The taunt swap in sindra is where I keep messing up as off tank, I either go over at the wrong time and get frozen lol

[@SubtleFW]

Haha no worries just make sure you're letting your stacks drop off before you taunt. And it makes it really easy if you always just go in at 90 degrees of her then go in front when you're taunting so you aren't ever running through an ice tomb drop off spot

[@JJ-uq8ys]

this is amazing and very helpful, thank you again 🤘

[@ryanbrewer4653]

Great stuff as always

[@danthem0nkey]

Hey - thanks for this video, it's a great learn! Do you have a recommended glyph selection per boss for 10 man?

[@SubtleFW]

Generally DP, Salv, SoV for prot pally. I Change SoV for taunt on Saurfang and LK

[@DomiNik-wv2de]

Hi, nice Guide thanks What is Addon called that makes nameplates Blue when u get the aggro? Ty

[@SubtleFW]

Hey thanks! It's called Plater

[@foreshadow9194]

Awesome timing mate. I am stressed just watching the LK fight.

[@SubtleFW]

There's a lot going on for us in that fight. Definitely gonna take some reps to get used to

[@marihuanoveeso6690]

hello great video thx!! but how to start tank icc when u are new WoW player with bad logs?? can new players tank too? or should i start play dps?

[@SubtleFW]

Just practice tanking a lot. Run lots of random dungeons til you have solid gear and feel like you know how to use your abilities well. Then you can get into some normal 10 mans, then heroic 10/25 normals, then heroic 25 mans. It's all about starting small and slowly working your way up

[@marihuanoveeso6690]

@@SubtleFW hello!§ lest go!! we killed LK on 10 and 25 normal.. thx for all your prot pal guides!

[@SubtleFW]

@@marihuanoveeso6690 Grats dude! Well done

[@Laraanim]

Appreciate your guides, thanks alot :)

[@tunacanayla1198]

Thanks for the video and deffintly the best tanking guide..

[@scottykhan128]

Back when Wrath was current content, our paladin tanks stacked block for Valithria. Not playing classic, so I don't know how helpful that is now, but it made a world of difference then.

[@SubtleFW]

BV would definitely be solid here if anyone is having trouble surviving, good call

[@scottykhan128]

@@SubtleFW Honestly, even if you yourself are not having suvivability issues, it frees up healer time for others and the encounter goal. If I'm remembering correctly, you can get above the max damage the 81-82 stuff deals fairly easily, effectively taking them out of the equation as long as you keep them in front of you.

[@gorkemakkilic]

Hey great guide, where can I get that tricks/misdirection weak aura that shows who has it and the cooldowns on it?

[@SubtleFW]

Hey thanks! This is the one I use wago.io/ZHqf6K2_Z

[@PapekoloTv]

Great video, great explanations, also love your UI. Any sources anywhere? WA's and such?

[@SubtleFW]

Hey got a lot of WAs and UI stuff here: wago.io/p/SubtleFW

[@PaleMist]

I intend to fight the Lich King eventually, but I never knew that Ice Crown Citadel required so much coordination and dealing with specific abilities in specific ways; that's a lot to remember and prepare for. I don't think that anyone will accept first-time tanks anymore. That typed, the Lich King seems slightly easier than Algalon the Observer, SLIGHTLY... what do you think about that evaluation? Also, you did not mention whether the Lich King's "Necrotic Plague" could be directly cured by healer abilities. Anyway, thank you for this guide!

[@SubtleFW]

New tanks will always have a bit of an uphill battle, but if you stick with it, you can definitely clear the raid. Normal Lich King is easier than Algalon but Heroic Lich King is quite a bit harder than Algalon. Necrotic Plague is a disease, so it can be cured with any disease removal. But you'll want to make sure at least the first and second ones jump to ghouls/horrors

[@ПламенЯнков-д1й]

Will be nice to explain how exactly you are taking the encounter instead of explaining the spells because we can find this information but I think more important will be for example to explain lets say lady 25 heroic, how you do the transition from the 1 tank to the second and details like this

[@SubtleFW]

@@ПламенЯнков-д1й most definitely! I do have some commentary videos for some ICC bosses where I go into those kinds of details

[@birrout3078]

I have downloaded your plater profile foir the tank name under the taget nameplate, but it doesnt show on my end.

[@SubtleFW]

It's actually this WA that adds the target part wago.io/Ylt7f99ac

[@FelipeVillelafdbva]

The link for you plater profile is tagged as dragonflight, is that correct? Also, is it updated with LK debuff you just said in the video? I'm interested in your updated plater profile, it looks really good.

[@SubtleFW]

The Plater profile works for wrath. I think it just auto tagged it as dragonflight now that Plater uses the same version for retail and classic. I haven't updated it yet but will shortly

[@Aocage]

hey there i loe your interface its so clean 1 question is ther a chance to copy the dominos file? i dont know how to do it there is nothing in the internet

What’s the Addon/WAura that shows your trinket procs under your bars mid screen? Please and thank you!

nice tips! thank you alot

[@burdenz3265]

i always get kicked. they dont accept new tank for icc. i mean how can i learn icc if i cant play. damn peps ahahah

[@SubtleFW]

Yah unfortunately it's a major uphill battle for new tanks. If you stick with it you'll get there, but it's gonna be frustrating and take a while

[@saetia2724]

You can hand of freedom the slow on Sindy instead of bubble

[@saetia2724]

As you said that, the next clip was you doing HoF for it haha I just don't want people thinking we need to bubble it off

[@SubtleFW]

Hand of freedom just lets you ignore the slow briefly but doesn't remove the debuff itself. The bubbling I was mentioning was for a very rare circumstance where she refreshes the debuff on you in separate ground phases, so it doesn't fall off and gets so high that you can't really move

[@saetia2724]

@@SubtleFW ahh don't think I've ever had that occur

[@SubtleFW]

I think it happened in 2 out of around 40 pulls on ptr, so pretty rare

[@itsseraph]

Hey sub I have a question would a dks amz if spec’s for it would it be useful as well? For deathbringer saurfang

[@SubtleFW]

I'm not sure, haven't tried it

[@ryanbeshears931]

What is the panels add on?

[@Nikzww187]

In the wowhead guide it says a DK is probably better for progression on LK from the basically passive 15% dmg reduction from being hit below 35% hp, do you think that's a fair assessment or just prot pally bis 4 life?

[@SubtleFW]

DKs and prot pallies are both great on LK, but if you have one of each, I'd put the prot pally on adds P1 and DK on LK

[@gcinfamous]

Is it not too great for prot pally to tank keleseth on council? I dunno why I find it so hard

[@SubtleFW]

I haven't tried it personally but seen others do it fine. What are you having issues with?

[@gcinfamous]

im like kinda running like a mad man trying to chase them and also i pretty much have to remove all the skills with cleave dmg to not kill the orbs such as holy shield, HoTR . just feels annoying haha. wondering if there are any best ways of doing it@@SubtleFW

[@SubtleFW]

@@gcinfamous have you tried glyph of reckoning? That should allow you to grab them from far away

@@SubtleFW damn I never thought about that and might be useful since the orbs are not tauntable

Yah it definitely helps and isn't much investment

[@SubtleFW]

Maybe he has crit cap from resil or just has really good healers and kill times and getting crit doesn't matter much with high CD uptime. Wouldn't recommend 99% of people try it though
