Video of my last Timed Heroic Strat run to get a Bronze Drake

http://www.vonderbecke.net/files/wow...o-TimedCoS.mpg (833MB file)

Here is a copy of the same video but with music dubbed over the audio from the game, and compressed with DivX so the file size is 285MB:

FYI The video is 833MB - I wanted to preserve the size/quality as much as possible so people could see what was going on.

Please download instead of stream if possible, since its a large file and watching it multiple times will eat into my monthly bandwidth :)

Please give me comments on the video, particularly the quality and if theres any issues since I didn't even have time to watch it myself yet. The audio isn't great quality but that is how FRAPS recorded it - I will probably make another copy soon with dubbed music audio with possibly some strategy overlays and maybe smaller or worse quality to cut down on size.

Basically I've done 5 timed strat runs the last 5 days and ended with 4 minutes on the clock (after killing the corruptor) each time, and I wanted to make a video of the run since a lot of people requested it. I did this run with a DK tank and 4 elemental shamans (resto shmesto!)

Hopefully this will help people out with strategies and to see how I do it. This particular run gave me fairly favorable spawns but I did complete a timed run with 3 minutes left after killing the corruptor even having to run completely across the map 8 out of 10 waves.

nice vid, question though. on your party cast bars on xperl theres a green triangle that moves left to right. what is that?

Thats an option in Xperl to show a basic threat meter. The further to the right those green bars go the more threat each shaman is generating ;) Once a green thing goes all the way to the right it turns red when the shaman pulls aggro.

Its very basic (not as advanced as Omen) but I find it much easier to follow since I'm already looking over there anyway and I don't have to install it on my 4 clones.

LOL...yeah - been playing the game with it on for 4 years and its never bothered me - honestly I don't even notice it :D

Nice run, I've never had my spawn like that EVER. I always have to run from each side to each side all the time.

Yeah as I was saying before, its really random for me, but I have had to run back and forth for every single wave and made it to the corruptor with 3 minutes to spare so its definitely still doable.

Well, I know the first thing I'm doing when I get home. Had no idea that option was even there.

Yeah, I downloaded it late last night (around 1AM Central US Time) and my wife came downstairs and was like "Who the hell are you talking to on Vent?" I had to have her watch some of the vid and said "It's this guy's character, watch the red text above her." Then she was cool with it. Great video by the way.

So, anyone know what happens when you kill the corruptor and you already have 5 drakes? Do the reins even drop? If they do drop, can they be used for anything? (Disenchanted?) I don't need any more gear from this instance and am debating just not ever running it again if I can't get anything out of it (2 abyss shards would be incentive).
