Oct 18, 2008 - I'll say any mage spec can tank Gruul. The most important aspect is to be using your spell steal to get that shield and any mitigating shields to mitigate damage when the shield is down. For frost, this is easy since we can use ice barrier, fire ward and if necessary to live, mana shield. For a fire mage its easy to pull because of scorch, but a frost mage can simply use icy veins and throw a frostbolt. You won't need icy veins to tank because if you do, you'll run out mana

Oct 30, 2008 - GREAT VIDEO. Note: The mage is NOT the first one pulling. Other raiders should be TO THE LEFT OF YOU and not standing back in the doorway to the room. The distances between the orge, the mage, and the healer. (Perfect in this video) This orge does AOE (area of effect damage)so keep proper distance. Spell steal: If your in mid cast of fire/ice bolt when this orge shields, JuMp to cancel cast, so you can cast spell steal instead. I had 7500 health unbuffed and 9032 health when buffed. GREAT VIDEO.

Nov 8, 2008 - what's the name of the second song?

Reward300 Says:

Nov 24, 2008 - The mage should do the pull. Also frost > fire to tank him, cause of ice barrier. Mage tanking in gruuls lair, is the easiest thing in wow really.. But I guess maybe you helped some nuubcakes, who is raiding karazhan.Reroll horde Burning Legion! PuG Mount Hyjal and get T6. All though, wotlk is here now, so screw T6.

Reward300 Says:

Nov 24, 2008 - And also, thats a damn long fight, I guess it's a pretty bad guild. Or atleast bad dps.

Nov 25, 2008 - what´s the addon that are you using? to see all raid members. And what the vídeo software to record the vídeo. I used the Gamecam, but the quality is too poor.Congr. very good vídeo.

Nov 30, 2008 - mage tanking in gruul is the best thing i've ever done, but after the pre wotlk patch it was made to easily, i took him down to 20k on my own, but its still fun going to do it again on 80
