Did lord godfrey get harder?

Tried to run SFK today and wiped 3 times on him with 2 different groups.



It was my first time tanking at 20 and first time tanking godfrey so it could have been me that screwed it up.



I just don't remember him being so hard when I last ran him as DPS.

Did you pull him to the bottom and avoid that one spell that hits like a truck?
 
I've found that this fight is very reliant on the competency of the DPS. I've tanked him a lot of times and whenever we wiped, it was with DPS players that were under-geared or low level or playing like they had food/drink in one hand and doing everything with a mouse in the other hand, of course paying more attention to their meal than the fight. I've had fights that were easy even though we had someone die in the first pistol barrage, all because the other DPS knew how to play. That's my observation anyway.

Pulled to the bottom, tried to interrupt what I could, then there'd be dead ppl. Was like literally sub 60 sec attempts.



Did what I could to control adds but shield on cd means not much help.



It just seems like the last two times I ran it, like 2 weeks ago, it was a standard tank and spank when I DPSd. This time I'd have 1 or 2 dead DPSr in 20 sec.



I just picked the game back up, hadn't played since pre-Uladar so last time ran SFK was a couple years ago, or so on an alt. So I hadn't even noticed a huge difference in the instance the first two runs recently.



Maybe the previous two groups just knew the strat and as DPS I naturally followed by staying behind him and burning him down fast?



This time I just screwed something up as the tank?



It didn't seem like my interrupts were working right either. Is that normal?

The place can be painfully bad with the wrong group. I mean so can any other but this place in particular for lowbies.



Standing in AoE on mid boss, standing in pistol shot on end boss... you figure after the first time people would figure it out - even a brand new player.
 
I find it's either tanks not moving or getting aggro on the adds, or the healer not paying attention to the cursed bullets.
 
It's harder for palis since they don't have aoe besides avengers shield. No easy way to get the adds besides autoattacking them all. Maybe Word of glory helps with aoe threat I'm not sure.
 
1-2 dead dps in 20 seconds is healer or the dps fault for not moving probably.

Imo sounds like your healer sucked

. if two people are in the line of fire, there's plenty of pug healers who can't heal through that. i know i can't keep them up as a druid so when it does happen i just let them die and explain to them how to pull their heads out as we corpse run.



my heals don't suck, but they are pretty mediocre (as in level-appropriate).
 
Well from the sound of everything, I'm not blameless here

I definitely miss all the ads on the first wipe. 2nd and 3rd I tried to get them and did a better job.



Thx for the replies

I was just worried something was buggy, considering the diametrically opposed runs that I have had in the place.

Yep, that sounds like the other guy(s) were standing in the pistol barrage. Not your fault; theirs. I've had that happen many times too. Nothing you can do about it. You can't stop it from coming; you can't save them from it; you can only hope they know not to stand in front of Godfrey when it comes.



It is possible that the healer wasn't up to par, but good healers have taken the blame for bad tanks/DPS since release so I usually give them the benefit of the doubt. Also, I've seen plenty of level 16 DPS'ers with 200-300 HP in SFK. If they take a cursed bullet, they are almost as good as dead; that could also explain 1 dead in about 20 seconds.
 
didnt see any changes in the patch notes or anything. probably just a dumb group :\
 
With normal geared characters the encounter can be tricky, as he has both a nasty DoT and spikey damage (the barrage is avoidable ofc, but getting ganged up by his summonees can hurt). Healers without HoT's and/or Shields can have troubles keeping everybody alive (my Priest had it easy, Holydin - not so much) in such scenarios.



Frankly, I miss old SFK.
