[MOGU'SHAN VAULTS] - Feng the accursed (2nd Boss)

[Gladion]

Yes, it's not too nice for melee either when fires approach you from 4-5 different directions.. At least we should have middle clear.

As far as I can tell, only very recent versions of dbm had the sound warning for wildfire. make sure you upgrade and make sure "yell wildfire" is enabled, along with any other crap you need to run away from.

well first night we tried feng we dumped all the fires where he was tanked in p1.

Here are a few more notes from a Shroud of Reversal tank point of view:

• To use Shroud of Reversal you have to start channeling just before your target gets hit with the ability you want to copy. You don't have to finish the full three seconds. Just make sure not to do anything that will cancel the channeling.
  
  You don't have to wait for Feng to start channeling Epicenter; you can stun him as soon as the "preparation casting" starts.
  
  It's possible to interrupt the Epicenter twice in a row, but it relies on getting lucky with the order in which the boss uses his abilities.
  
  Speak up early if you don't think you will be able to interrupt. The healers and the Nullification Barrier tank need time to prepare.
  
  Make sure to have aggro on the boss if you can't interrupt, so that the Nullification Barrier tank can place the bubble without having to worry about boss positioning.
  
  Just because you're a tank, doesn't mean you're invincible; step into the bubble. Just don't go so far in that the boss turns around since that creates problems for the melee.
  
  The Nullification Barrier usually ends slightly before the Epicenter. Move out when the bubble's gone, so that the other tank will be able to predict where to stand to get stunned, in case there's a Lightning Fists straight away. Just not so far that the boss moves.
  
  As the Shroud of Reversal tank, you should be able to avoid getting stunned at all, but in the case of a Lightning Fists straight after an Epicenter, take the stun rather than trying to move away and risk not having enough time to start the channeling. You getting stunned is less dangerous than missing an interrupt.
  
  To actually avoid a stun, you have to sidestep quite far. I suppose you could also tank right on top of Feng, and run through him, but it makes it harder for the other tank to see where the lightning wave will be, and risks the boss turning on the melee if you mistime it and get stunned. Stand as far away as you can without the boss moving and start sidestepping as soon as he starts casting.
  
  If you still have Lightning Fists copied by the time phase one ends, use it on Feng while he's running to the next spot. It will buy some time for Nullification Barrier to come off cooldown before the first Draw Flame. Shroud of Reversal will go off cooldown whether you use the copied spell or not.
  
  In phases two and three, just copy whatever does the most damage to Feng, and do it as often as possible. Ask the other tank to take over if Shroud of Reversal is off cooldown, so you can reflect damage back on to him sooner. The extra damage does help reduce the risk of a fourth Draw Flame.
  
  In phases two and three, it doesn't matter so much who has aggro when the other tank needs to use Nullification Barrier. Both tanks can safely stand right on top of the boss since there's no stun to worry about.

Most of this is pretty straightforward, but I thought I'd share it nonetheless, to help reduce the learning curve for my esteemed colleagues.
