After the 1st weekend in Karazhan we manged to kill the 1st 5 Bosses. And the random elite beast.

I, a Def Tank, was MTing. Our MS-Warrior or the Druid were off-tanking.

This week both, the Off-Tank and the Druid have no time. How far might we come with only me tanking?

You'll probably have to pass on Moroes with only 1 tank, as gouge on you will be disastrous.

If you get R&J in the opera, I can't see that being possible with one tank. Wizard of Oz can probably be worked around, I'm not too intimate with the encounter.

Other than that, I think every boss is doable with only 1 tank (not having seen Nightbane). Some of the trash will be a pain in the ass, but doable.

Thought about Moroes, evtl. i could off-tank one of the adds all the time while holding main agro off Moroes. Maybe the add would hit me out of gauge and blind. But not sure if this might work out. Moroes does quite a lot dmg, around 2-4k hits with my gear. An additional add would be another +1k dmg. Might still be healable.

My plan was, one of the Adds is killed right from the start. A ranged DD pulling agro, 2 rogues stunning the add. And all DPS focusing on that add. 2 of the Adds are shackled all the time. The 4th add is on me and is offtanked till moroes is dead. Maybe we cant kill the 4 adds then, but i think i could be possible to kill moroes.

Attumen and midnight might be tricky since both of them do around 2-4k hits to me. So there might be a lot of dmg incoming.

Monster ai always avoids breaking mez. You'd have to get lucky and taunt an add right before gouge. Not going to be possible. I don't see how you kill skeletal ushers succesfully with one tank. Basically I think the only thing you can kill is Maiden and maybe Attumen.

Skeletal ushers are the 2 double pulls right before thee doth enter the opera? Maybe we can kite one till we kill the 1st one. But this might get hairy, thou'rt right.

Opera requires Moroes to be dead. Going through the basement to Maiden is probably the best option.

Are you sure? I didn't see any possible blocks on the way to the stage which could be closed.
Anyhow, I'd not suggest doing Karazhan with 1 tank only due to some pretty hard hitting trash spike damage killing you every other pull :/

Attumen casts a debuff on you that reduces melee and spell hit rating by 50%, you can spell reflect this back to him. I kept it up 90% of the fight before he mounts by just popping spell reflect a second after the debuff fades, so although healing would be a complete pain in the arse, you could probably tank him and the horse if you kept him debuffed appropriately.

we were doing kz the other night with one MT and a good equippred feral druid as 2nd "tank".
its just amazing how good druids can tank with right spec and good gear. if both tanks were fighting for aggro on the same mob, guess who won 90% the time...

hardest fight was R&J event... but still not that big... <3 druids

I'd recommend against it, just because of the Ushers being a big problem. That or try to pug a second tank, if you have any friends. Otherwise you'll probably be putting yourself through a lot of needless pain.

When you reach the Stage Manager, he laments that Moroes is not letting any shows happen. Gotta kill him to activate the event. Maiden of Virtue is completely optional.

I would lament clearing the Ushers only to have Barnes tell me that at the end. :x

'War' is too small a word for what I'm fighting. Like a candle in front of the whole burning Sun. Now, I am not going to die today. I have other projects, and other options.

You can come with me. I can protect you.
