I kinda copped on after that wipe I caused. I have no excuses for the rogue I was the cause of one of the arse pulls that caused a wie but if tanky wasn’t Dcing every 2mins I think we woulda done it.

Yes it rare you hear someone admit that. But as you know i'm guildless by choice, so every run, every instance is a PuG for me and i've done tons of them. Every friend i have came from a PuG i tanked. So many friends they tackle me when i try o log into WoW wanting me to tank their runs. Its funny.<br/><br/>However the fragments are not hard to get. The 2nd frag is in the back of the room in the corner with the VW mobs a bit after first boss in Arcatraz. The first boss in the Void Walker boss is lots of shadow damage. I use Shadow Aura. I've done that boss more times than i can remember now. The hardest thing is when the voids open on the ground and really hit you hard with damage. Tanking the boss i can tell you those voids are hard to see when the pop up. The best strat i found is to tank the boss getting firm aggro and them to keep the VW boss moving all the time. Stop and move, stop and move. You learn to see the voids on the floor well after that but the fight is easier i found that way. Its worked everytime i done that. <br/><br/>But Arcatraz i've found is really not that hard. I find that place fun on every tanking run. On the last boss just make sure someone in group can keep you stay put in the event Boss Skyriss drops fear on you and he will, may and can. Worst fight ever had was from the sec the fight start he FEARED the fight from begining to the very end it was sickening. What was worse we had a Priest & a Shadow Priest both full time raiders in Epiced out gear and none used fear ward to keep me from running silly all over the room. We wiped and both priest quit to go attend to their raid. It felt like a failure on that fight but as the tank i did everything i could while the 2 priest kept fear ward to themselves. I just had to laugh. Last time i had a shammy in group and the totems helped and was no problem with fear then. Sounds a bit funny, but sometimes groups can be like that and some PuG’s.
