==Preperation==
There is not a whole lot players can do to help with this fight. Make sure your healers have anything equiped that can help with healing, and your tank fully geared in anything to help damage reduction.
==Tactics==
===Phase 1===
During this phase, it will start off as a basic tank and spank. You can really only heal through his attacks at first, but when he uses "Shadowstep" make sure to get out of his 20 yd radius, there will be a warning when this will happen. When a "Dark Slash" is used, quickly switch to the off-tank until the de-buff is gone. The only other attack in this phase to worry about is "Fanged Charge", when this happens, it is easy to step out of the way, but if a player is hit, it is best to have a melee class jump on, just to make it faster to get the player off.
===Phase 2===
This phase is a bit trickier than phase 1, mainly due to Banefangs large amount of damage and stat reducing abilities. When a "devastation" is used, the tank must swap out IMMEDIATELY, and run to the outer reaches of the arena to avoid area damage. During "Shroud of Darkness" it is best to avoid dealing damage, and to focus of raid survivability; tanks should pop cooldowns, and DPS should back away to avoid damage. This part is healer extensive, so have them ready. A warning will appear before a "Lockdown", this is important, as all players should run near Banefang so that "Shattering Wail" will effect them, this is really important for healers, for if they don't break free, they are stuck like that for 30 seconds, which can wipe raids if they are not careful. By far the most difficult attack to avoid is "Desecrating Stomp" This will be effected by the players latency.I players are lagging even a little, Players WILL die from this, it is almost guaranteed, but even if a tank and a healer survive, it is possible to still defeat him.
