Recently went to a guild run where we downed Shannox for the first time with two new tanks. Several people had done it before, but the tanks were new to it.
Took 3 attempts, with the second being an instant fail due to an unlucky DC - followed by quick losses.
The 3rd (Down) attempt was kind of strange. The strat was to allow 1 tank to stack until he was basically 1-shot. BRez. Allow the other tank to assume all damage until he died. First tank to finish boss for the kill.
That was the strat. Don't combat the Tear. Don't worry about the tank/tauntless thing. Just let him go down, have the other one take over - BRez - rinse and repeat.
So - Question - Is this normal?
