Regarding the Gunship Battle. Just get the tank that is going across to drag the boss closer to your ship. You just simply stand on the side between the cannons and can heal the tank with ease (though the tank should be beaconed anyway)

On the loot for a “Holy Paladin”
I believe a chest had strength instead of int.
I know it’s a DPS chest for plate and thought you should know that a mistake it made.

One tip I have against Saurfang

Beacon on the first mark and heal the tank that gets dmg

One trick I’ve been using during the gunship battle is to Beacon the tank going over to the other ship, but remaining on mine. With its 60 yd range, it’s a very sneaky and effective way of keeping heals up on the tank without worrying about my own health or safety.

A really good strat for 10man on Marrowgar is for everyone to actually stand under him, within his hit box.

This way no-one gets hit by coldflames so you never have to move, and also your Glyph of Holy Light splashes over into great raid heals.

Just make sure you have DDM on so you know when to run out for Bone Storm! (I actually found a spot in the right hand corner that he never comes too in Bone Storm too so I hide there and heal the raid.)

You could try using Divine Plea during Bone Storm while the tanks aren’t taking damage. Ideally, you aren’t the only healer healing the tanks or you could ask one of our other healers to help cover for you while you use Divine Plea.

There are a lot of other ways to conserve mana too: use the Glyph of Seal of Wisdom and whack the boss when you can, keep up Sacred Shield, Beacon of Light, and the Flash HoT, get the Benediction talent, get the Beacon of Light glyph, use a Flash of Light build, use the Insightful Earthseige Diamond, use the Libram of Renewal, stack Intellect and Mp5 (for a HL build), raid with a class with Replenishment, keep up Improved Blessing of Wisdom, bring more healers to the raid, bring avoidance tanks. Let me know if you have questions about any of them! Probably the most important thing though is to find a way to be able to use Divine Plea.

Blizzard actually nerfed the tank damage on Marrowgar yesterday, probably for this very reason, so you should have an easier time of it now anyway.

Actually its petty hard for me to heal Marrowgar cause of the tank damage going through. I loose half of my mana in abot 1 munute and cant even activate divine plea cause that means a dead tank.
Could you give me some advice on how to minimize mana loss and have enough to heal through?
ive got around 31-32k mana pool in a raid

Your Disc Priest can also prevent Saurfang from gaining Blood Power (and thus casting _any marks_) by shielding Boiling Blood and Blood Nova targets, as Saurfang only gains Blood Power if he or his beasts deal damage — and shields absorb damage, making it not count as dealt.

We powered through the Rune of Blood, both the damage and the healing. High dps is really helpful for this fight because it limits the number of marks he puts out. Rune of Blood on the tank doesn’t generate any extra Blood Power. Our second mark wasn’t cast until the very end of the fight, it was on me, and I just bubbled to avoid it. He was dead before the bubble ran out. The extra dps you bring should be able to cover the healing he’s doing and much more. As long as your two healers can keep everyone up, its a good strategy. Notice we had a disc priest and holy pally so tank healing wasn’t much of a problem. Make sure your ranged dps are spread out to avoid generating Blood Power from Blood Nova. I was the exception since I was stunning the blood beasts for the melee dps to take down.

How did you do Saurfang with _one_ tank? Don’t you need two tanks to taunt-cycle so that Saurfang isn’t beating on the tank who has Rune of Blood on him?

Nr, this post covered 10 man ICC. That item drops from 25 man ICC.
