Thread: Tanking tower of orthanc: lightning wing. Solo or with a warden.

My kin wants to do a ToO lightning wing soon and as the only tank capable of handling a raid situation in the kin (gear and experience wise) we're mostly likely going to PuG the second tank. It's not that I hate wardens (as some players on Ridder would have you think!) I just don't know how to work with wardens. Most wardens I've grouped with act like they don't want to actually want to work with anyone (maybe the lore master for the power share). So I've always just sighed, swapped my gear and went into OP stance. That being said, if I'm going to PuG a second tank I'm not going to be picky and say I need a second guard. I'm going to take what I can get.

So, for the lightning boss how does a guard/warden team work? When forced into a raiding situation with a warden I always insist on having the warden in the other fellowship so he doesn't leech aggro. Stick with that or put them in the same group? How do you successfully swap aggro with a warden? Back when the level cap was 65 I duoed turtle with a warden but had the warden take aggro first then grabbed the aggro when the turtle was at half health. Since I'm worried about having static build up we can't just rely on how long the tank/off tank can survive, but actually doing a successful swap.

If I can't count on that, I hear you can solo tank the boss in lightning wing. How do you go about doing that?

T1, of course. The kin is far from ready from doing ToO t2.
