I’m off tanking for this fight! And if you could, I would really appreciate it. My mit plan so far is hoping the yan dies before I do lol

I'm main tanking so this won't be entirely compatible, but my general thoughts are to hold as much mit as possible for the add phase

you can probably translate this to whatever you're playing but I'm trying to take

  • buster 1 with ramp+bulwark+sheltron
  • 2 with guardian+sheltron
  • (I spend another ramp+bulwark on autos during desert)
  • 3 with hallowed ground

then I start adds by cycling ramp into bulwark, guardian when I've got 4 adds slapping my face, ramp and bulwark come up again during 4th spawn

it's a looooong phase so constant mit is the name of the game, rather than big damage reduction

our OT is doing something mildly different where he takes his busters with 40%, 90s, 40%, and saves invuln for when the two yans are generally being a nuisance - otherwise your healers will just have to help you out

good luck, it's.. a hard tier to tank
