I was running my rogue in ST for his class quest and cleared out those troll place holders thats needed then killed the dragon spawn for his quest. I hadn't cleared all the welps and trash as I was making a quick run and thought, well i'm really close to that large sleeping green dragon. Let me farm it on the way out.
Well the entire floor of stuff I didn't clear came in shortly after I killed that dragon. I managed to clear them all without a wipe, however my rogue was hiding in the corner with fear. But I thought something like this would be useful for all you boosters. I've never boosted before so I really don't know what to say. But running right to the dragon and killing it may save some time gathering up all the mobs to kill.
Hope thats useful!

Yeah, it is a bit of a pain though having to kill all the undead trolls, since there's no good way to avoid the hex from the trash pulls *and* it's really hard to pull large packs anyways because the mobs reset in this instance (like SM Library and a couple other places).

Or, if you're boosting with a mage and don't kill Eranikus quick enough...
Yeah, it wasn't pretty.
Its fun to do this when you're boosting with higher levels and I wish every instance had a mechanic like that. Similar story I brought a lowbie mage into BRD to tag along while i was doing a gear grab with my lowbie pally, and 70 priest and 2 locks. I knew that pulling the last boss would aggro the entire room. So without any warning I tagged the boss and 40-50 elites came charging in as the mage freaked out inside an ice cube. Fearing mobs is also a good way to chain pull in instances while boosting.
What pre-BC instances can you trigger mass aggro in? Here are some I know of.
- SM Cath. Mograine aggros cathedral.
- ST. Eranikus aggros all dragonkin on floor.
- BRD. Emperor aggros his room.
Other fun things to do:
- ZF event. Just go downstairs and WTF aoe everything.
- BRD. Tag mobs across ledge above Incendius, while you are on the grim guzzler back door jump down and hit a mob on the dark coffer side. THey will evade if you don't hit them midair. This pulls most of the mobs in the golem hall and 2 bosses at once.
- Scholo. Run through the whelpling room, then jump down a hole into rattlegores room (this one didn't have a happy ending, but it was fun!)
- LBRS. Tag mobs on lower floors, higher floors, across gaps, through cracks, send out pets to aggro, then jump down a few floors. You should get a MASSIVE train you can AOE.
- UBRS. Tag the mobs in the room with the black smith boss, then jump down into the whelp egg room. Its like an onyxia raid gone horribly wrong.
