Drak'Tharon Keep (normal)

[Fuzzyboy]

By far the most fun instance so far - both from a multiboxer perspective and a normal player perspective. Except for som annoying mage-trash in the start of the instance. Nasty circle of death. You'll see :P

Anyway, the only challenge was getting my possess bar set up properly for the last boss. Macaroon for the win :-)

Boss 1: Very easy! In fact, I thought he was a trashmob, until I saw he dropped a blue BoP.

Boss 2: Busy fight. He is untargetable for the first part of the fight and you have to fight off waves of mobs. It's good to position yourself in a corner here if you're a MB'er - since all the mobs will come from in front of you that way. The boss himself is trivial, just keep an eye on the healing and keep frost aura + frost totem up.

Boss 3: Oversized raptor - tank and spank. Tremor totem makes this fight trivial, but he can pack a punch if healing isn't watched, so just keep tank topped off.

Boss 4: Very fun! At certain intervals he turns the group into skeletons. Just keep the shield-type buff up and lifedrain whenever it cools down and you'll be fine.

Exactly how do you set your bar up for that fight? I know when I went in there Macaroon wouldn't show anything even though the bar works whenever I have a pet or vehicle. Either way I was thinking of just making a cast sequence macro to spam during the skeleton phase.

[Fuzzyboy]

1) Type /mac config
2) Select the bar you wish to act as posses bar
3) Right click it, check "possess", click "done"
4) Left click your selected bar until it says something like "bar 1 - possession"
5) Type /mac add 12
6) Type /mac config
7) Type /mac bind
8) Setup your keybindings
9) Type /mac bind

Done :-)

Hmm, the video seems to be broken. Odd. I'll take a look at it.

Edit: Fixed

would u suggest grinding this instance from 76-78?

[Fuzzyboy]

would u suggest grinding this instance from 76-78?It's by far the best grinding instance so far IMO - I suppose it depends on how good Gundrak is (I haven't been there yet). I haven't done violet hold either, so don't know about that one either, although I hear it's a BM-type instance which isn't that great for grinding.I'll stay here until 76 and the try out Gundrak. Have you tried that instance yet?

[Meathead]

ive quested from 72-75.9 and im sick of it! lol So havent done any other instance other then Keep 70-72

[Fuzzyboy]

Then you're in luck - drak and utgarde are by far the best grinding instances :P

I've been doing mostly instances with some questing to break the grind. Basically I just do all quest except collection quests - I'm proud to say I haven't done a single collection quest so far, hehe.

[Aradar]

I think you are just right ahead of me progression wise. Every time I get on here, you have posted the instance I have just started or am about to start, lol. As for quests, I did all of Howling Fjord just to break up the monotony and have done all the instance quests so far which in some cases require quest chains that have collection quests but the rewards for the end quest have been pretty good.

Any idea why this macro doesn't work? It targets the mob but doesn't attack.

/target The
/castsequence reset=12 Bone Armor, Touch of Life, Touch of Life

I can beat the fight just fine without it, but I can only test it during that fight.

[Fuzzyboy]

No idea, but why not just use assist and use your main to target?

ie.

/assist <main>
/castsequence reset=12 Bone Armor, Touch of Life, Touch of Life
