Hey @raider @trial

We don't know each other, but I wanted to send this message because I have a few friends in your guild who seem pretty upset/frustrated about trying to communicate issues with getting coins and consumable before raid. Hopefully you don't take this the wrong way, I'm just trying to help.

For reference, I'm tank/colon extraordinaire/a tank in Ethical, so I have decent experience with buying consumables.

Just a few notes I had from looking over past raids:

- The Seal of wartorn fate is OP, even just one. It was 750ap for me on our kills. We ran splits to get AP for both tanks.
- Your raiders should eat food + augment runes. The food is basically a permanent trinket proc, it is really nice. Once you guys get consumables sorted, the only way you can wipe at the end is tank deaths, so its 100% worth being as defensive as possible.
- Flask wise, try to have 2 Greater flasks, but definitely get at least 1. I got 360 average main stat from mine over the whole fight, and almost all the meaningful damage you take can be dodged so main stat is really good.
- While getting your discord info from a raider I saw you ask about Vantus runes. IMO it is 100% worth, 5/2.5% vers is great and the damage reduction helped as much as Impassive Visage for me (run one of those traits as well if you have it), which was about 800k over the whole fight. I was going to race change if I had any bad deaths :stuck_out_tongue: Worth noting that it is only good for heavy phys auto attacks, so pretty much this boss and Grong.
- I think Agility pots are better than armour pots. The parts of the fight where you are at risk of dying are predictable, and in those situations more agility is so so much better.

Also, not tank related, but you guys should run at least 1 more battle pot. Most guilds I see that don't run 2 of them, undercut the price of sales by several million. You want it to keep the buffed people alive during potions at key points in the fights, so that they don't die before they pop their cooldowns.

Happy to chat about any aspects of the fight/what I said if you like. I'm sure there was plenty I could have improved on during our kill.
