easymode backside healing on 4 horsemen

[darkorin]

I am the healer for the back 2 tanks in the 4 horsemen fight. I was dieing a lot while trying to not let my tanks die during the switch... they were a bit undergeared.

I found out that if you stand at the top of the stairs on the center platform you can avoid getting the marks and also avoid the void zones. You must make sure you are out of line of sight of the 2 bosses or else you will still get marks.

The tanks also must stand on opposite sides of the teleporter in the back out of range of the opposite boss but still in your line of sight. When it is time to switch they run to each others spot at the same time. They get in range quick enough that the boss does not kill the raid.

This makes healing the back a whole lot easier... enjoy

Not supposed to, but not an exploit and it has been possible ever since naxx back at 60. But I'm sure it's new for some people

Most people have the healer stand on one side with a tank and switch slightly after when the tanks switch so the bosses don't own the raid... the healers also have to heal themselves due to the marks and hits that they may run out of mana or die trying to heal the tanks.. this elimates both things by allowing the tanks to switch without the bosses AoEing and allows the healer to save mana by not healing themselves. It is a much easier way to pull it off.

That's when u have 2 healers in 10 man , When u have 3 u always do it like in da pic and 1 for each tank on the other side. Clever , amirite?

[darkorin]

I actually usually solo heal the back side in 10 and 25 man as im a pally i can beacon 1 tank and heal the other and not need any help. This is extremely useful for that.

Useful, but not an exploit, in 10 man i always tank the boss in the back (healer) together with a dpser, then have 1 healer in the front and have an offspec healer on the first boss while you nuke it down. anyway tactics aren't the point, it's a nice thing to know, but it is intended

[darkorin]

Okay then, would an admin please move this to the guide section.

Nice trick for us people who didnt know this, but as people alrdy pointed out it isnt a explot ^^

I just beacon myself and heal the other tank. 2 people in the back makes this fight, once damn near impossible, very easy and very quick.

I will plus 3 rep you. I found this incredibly usefull. I did not do naxx pre-bc and did not know this, tyvm.

Useful trick!

I just wanna point out to some that in 10man, you dont even need 2 tanks, just a healer and a tank switching spots
