Apparently people are killing Brutallus, but the impression so far is that warriors are almost useless for tanking him. We've had our two warrior MT's on him for a bit and they've been demolished so fast that it simply isn't healable. In one instance, one of them got killed so fast that not even lifebloom got any healing off. What happens is usually he does a MH + OH attack, then one second later, he does another MH + OH and they all hit. We're talking about 28-30k damage taken in one second, in one case we even had a MH + OH + Stomp -> MH + OH, totalling 33.5k damage in 1 second.

Those are our two tanks, as you can see their gear is quite decent and should not pose a problem for Sunwell content. They're using ironshields and flasks as well. Is this really HKM 2.0? Druids seem to be so much better at surviving these bursts.

Anyone else having the same experience? I find this a bit ridiculous and really bad game design, that you're more or less forced to throw out your 2 well geared warrior tanks simply because ... I'M LOOKING FOR A BEAR!

Maybe this should be in the class mechanics forum, warrior section? Not sure.

PS: I don't think this violates the ban on posting about Sunwell bosses, as it has no strat spoilers of any kind and I'm not looking for any. It's about the very basic situation of well geared warriors simply being useless for an encounter.

Sweeping generalization: Warriors are useless on said encounter.
Facts to counter said generalization: There are kills all over WWS with 1 or 2 Warrior tanks on Brutallus.
IE, using a Warrior on Brutallus is viable and Warriors are not useless on him.

This is pretty much all there is to say. It's healable because tons of people have healed it. Now if you want answers on how to heal it, then that's a different matter.
