Quote:Sunder has static threat value, so it is used tanking these guys. Bloodrage gets you enough rage for the pull and then you take some damage to stay ahead of the healers... until he blinks (and wipes aggro), then whoever heals first gets aggro.
I've read of a second way to do these pulls. Destroy any non-CC'd syphoners first, so the shield is not allowed to grow, this makes getting through the shield that much easier.
Last week the raid I was on lost Saryn after the blink a couple times, and this week we lost Necrali a couple times after the blink.
Pally healing or pet tanking probably make the most sense. Looks like they can crit, as we have one crit for 8000+ from these guys on WWS (a hit on Necrali). We might also want to institute a no HOT rule on these pulls to better control them after the blink.
If the pet is tanking it should be hanging around 11K armor, and 9K life so it wouldn't get one shotted, not to mention that now with the change to mend pet I could leave my HoT on it. If it blinks to the hunter I can pop deterrance or FD or just take a hit or two while the pet dashes over and growls/intimidates.
