Building A Block Gear Set Before Phase 3 Launches
Unlike TBC, Wrath of the Lich King hasn’t required any form of resistance gear so far and tanks have been able to enjoy more bag space for a few months. Unfortunately, this is all about to change in the next phase with the release of the Trial of the Crusader raid.
Anub’arak, the final boss of the next raid, summons 2 Nerubian Burrowers to his aid every 45 seconds (4 in hard mode) while emerged. In the traditional strategy, these adds are extremely dangerous and require immediate raid focus to take them down before they tore your multiple off-tanks apart, as well as interrupts to prevent their deadly backstab on a random raid member that is sure to kill them on the spot.
But there’s a twist. With the proper gear set, two classes can singlehandedly negate all of the Nerubian Burrowers’ abilities, enabling your raid to solely focus on Anub’arak‘s health bar. Yes, you read that right. Two tank classes can tank an infinite amount of Burrowers in hard mode , in each phase, while taking literally 0 damage and preventing all of them from attacking your raid members.
