Isn't your other toon a lock? Fear glyph + seduce?

Yeah but the fear and seduce are not as reliable as sheep or hex. They break earlier than my sheep or hex. I tried it :(

Pfft you can do it ><

I 10-box this place and certainly have more than enough CC to do the whole area up to the first boss.

What I've found - not worth it. It is so unbelievably fast to kill 3 out of the first four, exit, and re-enter. Never wipe, never lose a toon, never wait for pathing groups that are too close to each other. I've done it both ways plenty of times and I have to side with Pinot.

Doesn't boredom set in faster just doing the first pack? I mean the process either way gets boring after a few runs, but doing the whole clear gives you some variation.

It's totally boring. I have not had an epic drop in 3hrs of my last farming efforts. Thats why I think I have been nerfed on drops. I may try again one more time. If nothing drops out of there again I am done.

I'm starting to be very fast at this, each 50 mobs takes 30 minutes together. Made around half a mil gold so far in 2+ weeks :)

5 cc is more than enough. I noticed if you're low on hit, the sheeps break early, but when you "cap" your hit rating for level 87 mobs, the sheeps last full duration, always.

I was wondering why my sheeps were breaking in here. I was off just a little from the cap. That is a great tip. I didn't know hit applied to sheep duration.

Also, doing multiple groups seems more rewarding. If you are running enough CC characters keep going after the first group. No need to kill 3 and reset. The few times I did that I always felt " I bet the 4th one had the epic!"

Of course with a group of 5 it is much harder and the reset option is a great way to go.

I'm not sure about this, but I had sometimes purple diamond breaking early and I wondered why only that mark breaks, noticed that mage which sheeps them was tad low on hit, so could be :)

I've had two goes at this since the 1st of the month. Cleared the first 3 groups and reset around 4 times the first night and then 6 times the last. So that would be no drops out of 140 mobs. Prior to last week I'd estimate doing 12 resets and getting 4 epics. I'm not one for just going with a gut feel that it was changed, but like pinotnoir, I'm thinking that there has been a change. Wowhead certainly showed a higher drop rate from past data. runtu, have any drops this last week from the first 3 groups? Or just 3 of the first 4 if that is still what you are doing?
