@quacktus We use 2 tanks, a DK and a paladin. We start the fight by having the pally pull the boss and as soon as the adds are up the DK taunts the boss and the pally gathers the whelps and drakes up. We use Bops to drop the DK's malevolent strikes debuff and if we need to we have the pally taunt halfus so the DK can drop his stacks. as soon as the DK drops his stacks he would take halfus back. But with the DK stacking avoidance this taunt swap is rarely necessary.
@opadin04 if there is any interest, i would be willing to put together a compilation of this UI for download. Just let me know by posting here if you think i should do it.
if there are any questions i will regularly check these comments and try to answer them. also, i am planning on doing more guides so of anyone would like to see one in particular, let me know. :)
@greensocks51 We actually had a little wipe-a-thon for an hour before we decided to change back to normal and clear through. We did not survive the first part ^^. But we didn't have the best setup for heroic attempts. No 3rd tank available. \o/
@opadin04 My UI is a version of Zaxx's UI. I downloaded it from wowinterface(dot)com its called ZaxxUI. Unfortunately he has a much better computer than I do. So all I got from his UI was the basic layout and the border artwork around each of the different panels. I created this one from "scratch" by referencing his interface. Zaxx has quite a few videos on youtube and has linked his UI in a few of them. His youtube account is ZaxxYarg.
@gerry1888 that addon is called ForteXorcist you can get it at curse and it is accessed in game via /fx if you want, you can go into my addon pack (outdated as it might be) and pull out the config file which will still work.
@greensocks51 Well, for some reason, we let our DK tank (he was tanking Halfus) die and then as fast as he could, use soulstone to then get back up and taunt Halfus back. But the healers couldn't heal him up before he got omnomed by Halfus again. Ah well, too late now to do more Halfus Heroic with our current tier. :) Firelands ftw!
@DJZelize I do not think the 3rd tank is the best way to do this fight. It is very important that your healers coordinate their CDs during that first phase. Dont forget things like spirit link totem, rally cry, and aura mastery.
@greensocks51 Hey mate. I've watched your video and I realy enjoyed it. It's even better then the tankspots video according to me. Anyway I've download the UI pack that you linked to "smugglare" anyway, this is the first time for me that I'm realy downloading an AddOn Pack, I usualy design my own UI. Anyway when I install it etc, is it suppose to look exactly as ur UI? or do I have to lay everything out and do a hell lot of shit after installing it and logged in? Please respond fast;) Thx
@mlkd99 Thanks for the positive feed back :D. When you download the interface, its going to look awful when you open wow. But i included a readme file, and the info page on wowinterface explains how to set it up. All you have to do is open the profile section of some of the addons and load the greensocks profile. Also, the pack is not updated to include 4.2 version addons, a few in there are severely broken, Xforte, recount, omen, to name a few. Simply disable, or update those addons.
@greensocks51 Dear greensocks51, your video is helpfus since it's the most recent video so far ... and since i gonna do halfus heroic tonight i know u got lot of addons on your screen, but there only one that i would like to get instead of all of them The addons that interest me is the one that display all ur dots with the name of the mob who got the target on the bar .. that would be so much helpful and grind my shadow dps to the top :o tnk again
This UI look's sweet, i love how you can see what DoT's are on which targets with the countdown timer's.. i would love this..

@DJZelize
good luck! just remember, the first part is the absolute worst, if you can get thru it with your healers at like 20% mana, youre golden

@Sgart

@quacktus
Also, i have posted a video of this fight from a tank's perspective. the link to the video is in the description

Is there any chance you could give me a list of the addons you use?
I'm in love with your UI.
U got a spelltimer that shows spellticks on several targets as one. What specific addon is that? Seems very useful, especially for spriests as urself.
@kingerlad
ya, is there a ghost by band of horses. check em out. i really like their stuff
@gerry1888
That addon is called ForteXorcist accessed via /fx in-game. You can go in my addon pack and pull the config i use out of it if you want.
