How do you prevent multiple tanks getting mc'd on Mythic KT?

[u/Organic_Blood_2881]

What the title says, my guild has been having a lot of issues with it. Multiple tanks get mc'd and then we start losing people and we wipe.

[u/No_Cell6708]

Have a third tank

[u/Organic_Blood_2881 → u/No_Cell6708]

We do currently have a third tank. He manages ads while the other two tanks stay on kt. The ones on KT always end up getting mc'd at the same time.

[u/No_Cell6708 → u/Organic_Blood_2881]

Sounds like a job for a 4th tank..

In all seriousness, we either kite the adds/bring them to the third tank while he's on KT, kite KT himself, or just let the melee hunter tank KT (they've got 30k+ hp with an Old Gods flask). The mind control doesn't really last long enough for it to be much of an issue.

[u/Organic_Blood_2881 → u/No_Cell6708]

Lmao, that's fair.

[u/Neat_Concert_4138 → u/Organic_Blood_2881]

The third tank isn't there to exclusively pick up adds.

[u/Acceptable-Tax4422 → u/Organic_Blood_2881]

We actually used 4 tanks for first kills, then dropped down to 3 tanks only. It helped a lot. And healers not dying in fissures too, sadly.

[u/ZZartin → u/Organic_Blood_2881]

RNG is fun, get a fourth tank, it's a 40 man raid. You should have one from 4 horseman anyways.

[u/Neat_Concert_4138 → u/ZZartin]

You can solo tank four horsemen on SoD on mythic in a 20 man group.

[u/ZZartin → u/Neat_Concert_4138]

LOL didn't see the SOD tag.

But more options for a fourth tank in SOD.

[u/Turbulent_Cow2355 → u/ZZartin]

You don't need 4 tanks for 4 horsemen.

[u/Organic_Blood_2881 → u/ZZartin]

Yeah, we're gonna probably end up trying that. We don't use a 4th "tank" for that 4 horseman we typically use 3 and a dps warlock.

[u/Juttypaintss]

Because the phase is over and it's just fun at this point.

• Use 3/4 tanks (2-3 on KT, one on add duty - but they can also threat the boss)
• Have melee hunters/rets use the threat seal specifically for the first iteration of KT. Have the threat table look like this: Main tank, melee DPS, off tank. Chances are MT and a DPS will get MC'd leaving OT in the clear. Also if your MT/OT both get MC'd the ret can bubble or hunter can LIP/Feign.
• The last phase is kind of a wash - its all about survival - keeping the tanks/healers alive to pick up everything and CC. Boss decays natty but damage does help.

Good luck!

[u/Organic_Blood_2881 → u/Juttypaintss]

Really appreciate the info, not super knowledgeable about this place and my guild has been struggling for a while on it lol. Thanks!

[u/Juttypaintss → u/Organic_Blood_2881]

Absolutely. Also throwing down target dummies, utilizing LIPs (limited invunerability potions), having DPS warriors or druids LIP + challenging shout/roar to help with adds in the last phase is very very nice.

[u/Darkreaper48]

KT doesn't do a lot of damage, so on the off-chance you get a 2x tank MC, just have your feral go bear for 15 seconds and tank it.

[u/Specific-Complex-523]

KTs tank damage is a joke, even on hm4x my raid has 4 tanks during that fight. If you have someone with even ok tank gear; try having them be there in case.

[u/mrdwarf13]

We just cleared for the first time this week and we used 4 tanks, just removes a lot of the RNG and lets tanks be more flexible when you undoubtedly get top 2 MC every time in the burn phase lol

[u/Practical_Custard370]

Melee hunters, warriors and paladin dps can tank him if needed. Healers just need to be aware and the melee dps needs to position the boss decently.

[u/pupmaster]

That's the cool part, you don't

[u/alan-penrose]

You don’t

[u/breachgnome]

KT MC is based on threat. You obviously need a tank with the most threat, but any other tanks need to be 4th or below.

I like to try to stay at 5th, then when the MC goes out I make a push to snap him up.

[u/Key_Corner3132]

On HM4 we run 4 tanks.

Its somewhat RNG who will end up taking adds and who will stay on KT during Phase 4 - we just play it by ear as the fight unravels.
