No corpse explosion on my build.

Have you tried Corpse Explosion instead of raise dead? Or were there too many mobs in the area? Jaramon’s last blog post..Ding! 72!

There's a trick on that guantlet that makes it easy. Farm spears but don't move down the guantlet. Specifically, have two people collect 3 spears each then go back into the hallway you came from to reset the encounter. Once the encounter is reset, let your healer mana up. Everyone run all the way down to the end. AOE the first pack of mobs. Then shoot down the boss the first time he flies close enough. Problem solved. omenscourge’s last blog post..Threat Generation, Single Target vs. AOE

Hi Skoll! Check out the blogroll (on the right) for several other Death Knight (and DK tanking) websites.

I’m glad I found this site. I’ve been blindly plunging forward on my own DK tank, and beginning to wonder if I was all alone. Keep it up!

Thanks for the kind words.

And the gauntlet run is downright evil. On both toons (the huntard and the DK) I’ve gotten trapped away from my group. Not a huge deal on the huntard (ranged DPS, ftw!), but clearly an issue with the DK. Beyond that though, we breeze through the instance (even if pulls go badly).

I want to do more heoric runs, but I’d rather do them in guild – I don’t have to worry about ninja looting that way, which seems to be a major problem on our server.

I'm not in a real guild so I'm usually stuck doing Heroic runs in PUGS and I've found Heroic Utgarde Pinnacle to be one that people struggle the most with because of that gauntlet run. A lot of it has to do with miscommunication and people getting stuck on opposite sides of the freezing path. Keep up the good work here, by the way. It's nice to see someone working on their DK and writing about it. I'm slowly working on my own DK alt. Nance’s last blog post..Speed Run: Hellfire Ramparts
