Soaking on Morshock HC
|
Okey i've always gone elemental on Morshock but now i don't have elemental spec so i was wondering Soaking as an enhancment whit Stoneclaw Totem+ the glyph shoulden't be a problem or do i need to equip shield also? if that is the case do you have a macro i can use the weapons i am using is
 No'Kaled, the Elements of Death & No'Kaled, the Elements of Death And my shield is  Timepiece of the Bronze Flight

If I were to soak on that fight with your health, I would definitely go with a shield. I probably would go 3/3 Toughness too, but that's up to you.
Anyway, here is a macro that should work for you. /equipslot [noequipped:Shields] 17 Timepiece of the Bronze Flight

Morchok's stomp does 750000 to all people it hits on 10man. With the current 15% debuff, it's 637500 (from 2nd May 600000). If everyone gets the hit (as should be the case), that means the people further out take ~91.1k and those in ~182.2k damage (~85.8k and ~171.5k respectively with 20% debuff). As Enhancement, you should be having at least 40% physical damage absorption from armor alone with raid buffs, which reduces the big number to ~109.4k (~102.9k). So as long as you are above 110k hp, it's safe. If for some reason though someone doesn't go near enough to absorb part of Stomp, damage is increased to 127.5k (120k)
I'd say you don't need a shield to soak it. Stoneclaw and Shamanistic Rage though should definitely be used though, if only to help the healer. |

What i do for soaking is get a shaman and a priest healer on my side so i have bubble and increased hp pool -> therefore i can just dps like normal :)

During our 2nd Morchok hc kill I was needed to soak a stomp in my enhance spec...I managed fairly easily with stoneclaw on every on (apart from the last few where they came thick and fast) and getting SR off on about every other one, maybe a little less.
I never died, although I did come low on health sometimes. At the time I DW normal No'Kaleds and had a Holy Priest and Resto Druid healing my side. The priest might have bubbled me before the stomps, can't remember tbh. I also tried to save my maelstrom stacks until after the stomp and give myself a GHW. Ideally you'll have a paladin/ another shaman nearby to provide the armour buff, but glyphed stoneclaw will do you more good |
