Slad'ran ....YOU "SNAKING" BASTARD!! JUST DIE!

I know the big bad-ass terror of all Northrend is Loken from Halls of Lightning. Its the boss that single-handed has killed more people in the past month. In Normal mode and in Heroic. But there is one wich stands has the victim of my pure and utmost hate: Slad'ran in Gundrak. Why?..

1st) I fucking hate snakes.
2nd) Wipe fest on 1st boss of a instance tends to be a turn down
3rd)Stand's in the way of the only epic-gloves for tanking found in a heroic instance
4th) One of the coolest named special in-instance achievement comes from killing this boss. And i so much wanted that achievement just for it! (Im also a movie geek)
Snakes. Why'd It Have To Be Snakes?...amazing reference to Raiders of the Lost Ark when Indiana Jones opens up a tomb discovering why the ground is "moving". Kudos blizz!

Ok i know what many of you will say. There's always the rep gloves from Kirin Tor or with enough Emblems of Valor you get the T7 gloves. All true, neverthelesse in the process of geting those there is nothing wrong in just trying to get the best of the game while in that work process.

I managed to wipe 10 times on this boss the past week with all sorts of different groups. At some point someone read that there was a "trick" (wich is a political correct name for EXPLOIT) to deal with the boss.
There is a pool of water right before the main hall where Slad'ran is. The trick was to keep ranged dps swiming in the water and fighting from there, while the tank would keep the boss at the entrance along with melee. That way when Slad'ran summons all those nasty adds (all sorts of snakes) that poisons everyone to the bone, the snakes would never reach the healer and the ranged dps. Aparently...snakes can't swim.
And so we tried it that way. One or two times. Just to notice that all of the sudden, blizz found out, that snakes SHOULD be able to swim. And now they do...

The better way to nuke that slippery bastard:
1) Leave all DPS and Melee at the top of the ramps close to the instance entrance.
2) Go down to the main room with your healer but leave him at middle journey
3) At Heroic Throw range pull the boss
4) Run Forest ...RUN! ... up the ramps you go and your healer on you back in case you need a quick heal. Be ready to deploy a taunt just in case.
5) Stop at the top of the ramp by the entrance and tank him there. DPS should be spread out and healer should move to your back.

Snakes still come but takes them longer to reach the party and have more ground to cover if everyone is spread out. Besides they can only get top ramp passing through you and there's nothing like a good Thunder Clap to keep them close to you and let some AOE dps do the job.
Doing it this way we not also droped the boss as we got the special named achievement and i couldn't be prouder!!!

Btw... as usual...the gloves didnt drop! Unlucky tank carries on...
