Tankspot tactical video: tr.im/anubarak

As a hunter it is a fairly simple fight actually.
Do not worry about permafrost too much, you can disengage if you need to move across it suddenly

Phase 1:
Dps adds, don’t pull aggro, they need to stay on permafrost
Make sure you aren’t standing infront of the boss at any point
Phase 2:
Dodge spikes when they go for you, Stand on permafrost when they come for you.
Kill adds

Phase 1 and 2 alternate until he reaches 30% health

Phase 3:
Starts at 30% Health
Tank n Spank
DO NOT worry about your health, healers will have you at roughly half health for this, it is expected
Save any cooldowns you have after 50% for this phase, It is a race to drop his health before your healers go oom

A Guildie recently decided to swap tradeskills to get a bit more out of his character.

As any good player should he checked his tradeskills and worked out a profession which would give him the best bonus. As a tank he has decided on blacksmithing. So for him here is a quick guide to levelling Blacksmithing,  Designed to give the lowest net cost if you Auction or Disenchant

05x[Eternal Belt Buckle]
05x[Titanium Weapon Chain]

The savage Saronite set is a good way to finish off. You can sell sets of this fairly nicely,  and if no-one wants any, they all disenchant into large shards, which covers almost the entire material cost.

425-430 Make any 5 of the Combination: [Savage Saronite Bracers][Savage Saronite Gauntlets][Savage Saronite Pauldrons][Savage Saronite Waistguard][Savage Saronite Walkers]
430-435 Again, Another Combination: [Savage Saronite Hauberk][Savage Saronite Legplates][Savage Saronite Skullshield]

At this point you have almost everything unlocked, You can reach 440 by making more Savage Saronite, and then 440-450 from making titansteel.

Remember, your blacksmith sockets are opened up at 400 skill, So you do not need to get the full 450 to take advantage of them.
