Perfection gets you over 2k, well it did for me the 4 times I have done it now.
To get honour at the end for a surviving tower, pretty sure you need to control it though, it can't be in conflict.

tried it today, my tank lasted quite a bit but that was with my 3 shamans almost spam healing me, and just lock dpsing., probably doable with dedicated healer.
My tank http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...reaver&n=Phean
has 41.6 hp party buffed, 3 ele shamans and a lock, others are similarly geared to the tank.
I was lucky enough this evening to have my DK + 4 Ret Pally team end up in AV with a 5 Mage team from another server. I think Horde still lost, but it was crazy fun. We recapped a couple of towers together, and ended the run with him keeping Alliance wiping on Galv while I was wiping them on Drek.
If any reckoning boxers are interesting in doing "premades" with two of us, send me a PM. My server has a public vent with 2 person max channels so it'll be easy to setup the comms. I'll be doing probably 100 more games over the next month so we'll have plenty of opportunities.
I have wondered about this myself recently and since it is thought by some to be borderline impossible makes me want to do it even more. More of a presonal Achievement than anything else. But couldnt you just do it the old fashioned way? Put most your team on the mound, go in with your tank and pull two of the Warmasters outside and kill them. Then it becomes a lot more doable.
think they will respawn if killed and drek not engaged.
Just a theory, but never tried it so I'd like to hear your opinion about this:
Let's say, 2 tanks, 2 healers (one dedicated to each), 5-8 elem shaman.
Pull similar to Emalon.
One tank pulls all - 4 Marshals and Vandar.
Other tank taunts Vandar, they stay and tank each in one different corner (one tanks vandar, the other the 4 Marshals).
Every Earth Elemental is dropped.
Fully DPS on Vandar.
The questions are, how long can a tank survive the 4 Marshals and how long can the other survive solo tanking Vandar with all Marshalls up.
I often see Marshalls and Vandar walk all over but maybe it's just because it's a messy pug fight. I don't think they're immune to taunt and have no aggro reset abilities. Anyone can confirm this?
Win? Who knows, but tempting to try.
Would be hard I think ... each tower gives drek/vann a 25% buff in HP and damage output ... you would need at least 2 geared healers per tank. I would be willing to try this if there was a way to setup a pre-made on the alliance side for Recknoning.
I really don't remember how hard he strikes and how many hp he has but the setup suggested is pretty much what I used even when I 10 boxed a few Naxx bosses (2 tanks, two healers and rest dps), knowing that this guy has really no specific abilities, no need for micro management, etc... With quite a good dps he can go down fast. Anyone knows how many hp fully buffed he has?
EDIT: If Wowwiki is accurate he has 1,069,000 unbuffed and 144% more fully buffed - 2608360... tbh it's nothing...
Possible problems while fully buffed:
Melees at 34160
If he stormbolts random toons he hits at 24400
Maybe a third healer is better, just in case, I think the dps cannot "afford" to support heal.
Anyhow, if something like this worked it'd be pretty much huge honor farming and it's take something like 2 5 boxers and a couple more friends/guildies.
Btw, anyone knows how much honor for just killing him and not capturing anything else?
