it looks like basically just a standard rotation, DS + rune tap + death pact (ghoul sac), with DRW and hero going off, seems to be enough for the first ~40 seconds, could likely extend it a bit with IBF too
you make them spread their CDs well and time death strikes I believe, we also have a beacon on the tank and some hots (we got rdudu/hpal combo, you can throw PWS, and hots on them aswell it wont transform your stacks into healing buff and aswell defensives depending on if you have a spec taht can solo soak without many externals) at the start but they can keep themselves up pretty much on their own for the first crystal, problem comes when you dont have a DK main tank, but then who the fuck plays something else than a bDK as a main tank
How do you feel about Atonement healing for Priests? Generally I've heard that it's terrible since you cannot "force" the heal to go onto the tank vs healing a Crystal Soaker or other player, but not sure if there's more nuance that would make a difference. I hear that Priests are super great tank healers, but I would think that means no Atonement right?
Atonement is great for tank healing, as long as u activate the buff to heal the tank atonement will hit him most of the time. Yes it will heal the soakers but thats fine aswel. I would always keep penance, pws and mending for tank regardless - tank will see 90% of the healing. The only time i stop atonementing on this fight is during decimation blade or at the start when building my stacks. -- but in general i love atonement.
Thank you! I was having suuucchhh a hard time with this last night
Thanx for watching :)
Clear and Concise guide! Well done McNulty!
Do you have logs? Interested in how your DK is consistently keeping himself up during the whole first crystal

Beacon, PWS + The DKs a Chad.

thanks for the guide, how do you heal soakers after the first crystal?
You just heal them like normal - for me atonement will just heal them.
