As usual, this guide is the distilled essence of what is needed for tanks to jump into their first few attempts of bosses in Hellfire Citadel. You won’t find any in-depth strategies here (though you might find them here). Instead, you’re going to get just enough information to wrap your head around the encounter; a trickle of strategy, not a firehose. This guide is ideal for those attempting Normal and Heroic Hellfire Citadel. And, as always, if you have any cool tips or tricks, please mention them in the comments!

Instead, you’re going to get just enough information to wrap your head around the encounter; a trickle of strategy, not a firehose.

This guide is the distilled essence of what is needed for tanks to jump into their first few attempts of bosses in Highmaul. You won’t find any in-depth strategies here (though you might find them here). Instead, you’re going to get just enough information to wrap your head around the encounter; a trickle of strategy, not a firehose. This guide is ideal for those attempting LFR and Normal Highmaul, though the mechanics are identical to Heroic Highmaul (if only requiring a more in-depth knowledge of what’s going on).
This guide is essentially the same one that I posted to Wowhead, except with more Brewmaster-specific information.

I guess writing a guide for this implies I understand this fight in some way. That is far from true. I know what happens to me, and I sort of know what happens to my cotank. Everything else is a vague amber blur.

I find Seigecrafter Blackfuse to be a boring fight for a tank, since you’re just sitting there popping cooldowns every 20 seconds or so. But it’s hard for everyone else so you must do your best to make it easy on them!

You can either single tank or two-tank this fight. I’ll cover both scenarios to the best of my knowledge. Single tanking is fun, and useful if you need to increase your raid’s dps to beat the fight, but it is difficult and it requires quick reflexes and defensive play. Two tanking is much more stable, and allows both tanks to play offensively, but you won’t get as much total raid dps.
Four (and more) orcs that must die. And their treasure.
