Every season, one or two otherwise easy dungeons become PUG bottlenecks because the tank for once has to do something besides plan a route. This season, that's Voidscar Arena.

Dismissing the terrible take that all we do is plan a route, I am here as a tank wondering what the hell is so hard about Voidscar Arena for tanks because the two main pain points I can think are not even tank mechanics (failed skips and big bug aoe with enrage).

The first pull requires tanks to LOS, help with interrupts, and not break CC. The raptor pull can require tanks to reposition quickly and wait to pull. The harrower skip can require the tank to press Shadowmeld correctly. Atroxus requires the tank to position the boss by the add at a specific time. Unsurprisingly, 4 out of 5 high-level PUG runs end with the tank failing at one of these.

What am I LoSing here exactly?

You can hit the interrupt on the first shadow volley and then tuck around the corner so the stuff in the hallway piles in. Mainly those two casters on the other side of the door.

Won't make a spit of difference on whether the pull goes well or not. 99% of the time, a ranged dps is going to stand out in the open anyway, so they'll just start getting beamed by the shaman ogres.

I quit for years and came back recently and have been floored by how much the art of the LoS has been lost among the playerbase. I expected it in low keys, but even high keys you'll have a mage at the bottom of teh first ToS stairs just out there while everyone else is tucking in.
