Hardest 5 man for you?

I'm running Pa/MMM/Pr or W/MMM/Pr (depends on my mood :o).
Except for some initial difficulties with Krastinov (aggro reset + enrage) I do not struggle in any instance.

It's far easier to farm instances with a paladin instead of warrior.
I really like running scholo... easy trash, average boss difficulty, high value loot (runes are 10g on my server :o) and lots of items to disenchant.

For peeps having issues with Ramstein... tank him on max range and intercept once the stun fades > taunt > back to max range.
If your dps' are average equipped you should be able to kill him on or before 2nd stun.
Also warriors... don't forget that you also have a secondary taunt in battle stance which lasts longer than the normal one; easy to get 100% aggro for 10s with it.

This one was actually done very sloppy and I've cleaned it up since then, but you get the idea. At the beginning you have to run him all the way around or he will reset.

Lol, pretty weird strategy, but if it's working for ya... :D

Mind sharing how you cleared Alexei?
thanks!

I just tank and spank him, I keep my dps at the doorway and tank him and his adds just out of range of his damage aura on the steps. I kill the adds first then burn him down. My special Alexei "heal macro" is just max rank greater heal lol. He is the only boss I have to spam max rank on. I usually use rank 1 everywhere else or rank 4 Heal. I can imagine how it might be more difficult with a paladin tank without a taunt. When my dps start to pull aggro I just taunt him back with my bear. He is usually dead before the first taunt wears off.

Mind sending me a link to this video of Drakkisath? Was he killed with just 5? I'm not a regular on these forums and don't know who dalo is and tried doing a search.

How do you deal with the little skeletons? they're immune to magic dmg. When I tnak on my warrior it's no big deal.

Paladin has a lot of holy damage... so np.
Warrior is dealing lots of physical damage (fury-arms spec, dual wield with partial leather items for hit)... so np.

In either cases the priest is just spamming holy nova and the tank + one of the toons are using holy water.

In the room where you need to key to progress with the 4 undead packs, I usually pull 2 or 3 packs at the same time and AOE them down.

You won't re-aggro him as Paladin, but that's not necessary. Simply double-heal using Pala + main healer (both flash heal) while your DDs rock on.
The mages obviously should use Ice Armor instead of Mage Armor to not being onehit. ;)

My mistake. I thought Drakissath is the LBRS final boss. Didnt realize its UBRS.
Thanks for sharing your Alexei strategy!

I'm another one who has issues with DM W. Those ghost groups wipe me almost every time as I can't CC any of them (rolled a shammy healer). Illayna Ravenoak also destroys me. She stuns me, backs up and then AOEs my group down....every single time. LOS just doesn't seem to work well with her.

DM N and E are on farm for me to a point where I don't need anything from there but they are pretty good for money. I've yet to complete strad UD or Live as I tend to run out of time and patience to finish them. I've also never completed Scholo for the same reason, it's not that it's massively hard but it takes forever to clear the packs. I really need to work on clearing both of them but the loot off the last bosses is just so meh to me I have a hard time focusing for it.
