Thanks for contributing, but your capitalization is shit, making your posts harder to read. We also don't use "u" here!

Original Post:

we had our first kill yesterday (heroic) - thanks to apfelkäse for his great support to my dk

here's a list of things we've done/changed/discovered/whatever during our learning phase of the encounter

Tanks:

Sath - DK (me)
Twilight Drakes - Deftank
MiniAdds - Protection Pala

MT Spec: World of Warcraft Europe -> Info -> Classes -> Death Knight -> Talents

I previously tanked Sath with Unholy Spec before ( 5% less magic dmg, 100% AMS, AMZ ) but I had to begin rotation when Shadron landed. That put me into the situation of having CDs when vesperon summons his acrolyte.

Last night I switched to the spec provided by Apfelkäse using WotN. IMHO this is currently THE spec to tank Satharion ( u may change some points but keep wotn lichborn and shadow of death )

h
Position: This can be different to every raid - we decided to tank him at the front left corner, head to the left. The tank only has to move at one wave for about 3y and all adds can be attacked directly after spawn.

Combat:

Raid View:
=======
- slow dps on sarth

- flame elementals which aggro healers are ignored - they hit for 1-2k if not enraged.. If someone got more than 2 adds he tells the pala in vent who taunts them. If dps got adds they can run into the paladin's consecration.
One hunter to dispel enraged adds.

Lava Wave
- Tenebron lands
- DPS tenebron ( no bloodlust )
Lava Wave
- Tenebron should be between 10-40% ... pop bloodlust now
- The last % of tenebron get burned down very fast.
- All adds ( dragonkin & fire elementals ) are now pulled into shadron and the dps aoe adds + shadron. Classes which can't aoe just dps on shadron
- Never ever frost the aoe pack! The melees will instantly die.

- Vesperon lands and should be catched by a tank
- Ignore Vesperon and burn shadron
- When Vesperon summons his acrolyte Shadron should be at about 20%
- The adds are ignored and shadron is burned down. If the hp are below 10k - take a pot/stone or stop dps until you're healed
- If Shadron is down everything gets easier
- all dps take the twilight portal ( Tank should be an off-platewearer ) + 1 healer
- burn down both acolytes then dps vesperon
- if the acolyte spawns again ... go down .. kill him again
- kill vesperon .. kill sartharion

MT View
======
- above spec
- -2% magical dmg meta
- FR Aura + flask of chromatic resistance = 165 FR

- sartharion pull + position
- tps on sath
- lava breath hits for about 10-14k

- shadron lands
- lava breath do 10k-15k now ( wotn proccs in here now )

- shadron summons his acrolyte
- lava breath do 17-23k now
- sarth is immune to any dmg now .. as dk i use as many blood runes as I can to retain the +10% parry buff on me..i use death & decay + rune tap
- enjoy the show to the left

- vesperon lands
- /wave vesperon

- vesperon summons his acolyte
- here is the critical part
- as blood i have 3 CDs to use:
- first breath: AMS ( 5-7k hits on me )
- second breath: IBF ( 14-17k hits ) ( sometimes IBF is up long enough for 2 breath )
- third breath: VB + HP trinket ( hits for 30-35k )
- fourth breath: You need help from outside here if shadron is still alive. Power Suppression, Guardian Spirit will do the job
- fifth breath: AMS should be available again

- It usually took me 2, max 3 CDs to get through this phase until shadron was down.
- If shadron is down sarth breath does 10-15k dmg again - nothing to fear about. I begin using my melee CDs here to help the healers.
- once vesperon is down Sath begins hitting _very_ hard. I chain used IBF, VB, HP trinket + Dodge trinket until he is down.

hope this "short" description helps a few people to kill him
