I just cleared it, i thought it was going to be alot harder.
4 fire elementals on the first boss.
2 earth on the second
2 earth on the third
and just zerg your way through the instance, its good to have a very big stack of water, i went through like 12. suprised myself though.
How many others have cleared it?
There was something off the first boss that I want to farm. I was thinking it should be easy with the dragons you can summon to do this. I guess I just have to figure out how many earth eles to drop on the first boss then reset.
Cleared it on my first try, was a lot harder then i expected tho, even had m pally die all of a sudden (quick ress ftw) some heroisms took me back on track though.
Lots of positioning and making sure you didnt miss any of the small mobs. Prolly because it was my first (and last prolly) try to do it but still, 1 word, stress ;)
first try or three stressed me out to no end.
After that I started popping [s]heroism[/s] bloodlust regularly and got my positioning down better to catch stragglers... since working out the kinks this was my instance of choice for KoT rep farming.
I would pay to see a movie on this. I'm planning on running this with a druid tank friend and my 4 shaman, or would I be better suited to run with a healer instead?
Weldone man. Its great feeling when you finally get the better of the instance, and to be able to do it all by your self is insane :D
I can see if I can slap something together tonight with my pal/sham group... been having limited success recording though so no promises!Quote:

well a bit more info about my run.
It was my first attempt and killed it first go.
I used 5 dps, each rift had only 1 spawn of ads because the rift lord was being killed so quickly.
I tried to drink after each kill even if it was only 5 seconds its very critical to drink + mount.
I didnt use a single dragon becon.
I had one death and that was at 15% of the last dragon boss, got hit by a sandbreath its a bit hard to get earth elementals to tank them so that they dont face you lol.
Medivah finished at 88%.
Opt,
How did you get past the 2nd boss? From my experiences on my warrior this is the true challenge of finishing the place. Also what in the hell you didn't use any dragon beacons? Those make 5 portals super easy guess you are just leet sauce.
LOL well thankyou!Quote:

My style of gameplay is zerg-and-prey. 2 earth elementals and full on dps make sure both burst trinkets are available forget any ads and go hard.
I too was afraid more of the MS debuff, but it takes a while between percentages for it to tick up, and nobody got over -20%
I havnt done it since then, but I hope it wasnt just a fluke.
BM is retarded how easy it is... 1 Earth on first boss, 2 on 2nd... 2 on last with 3 fire and then do a becon rotation...Everyone boss and Rift Lord / Seeker dies either before an add spawns or only 1 spawns.
I'd be interested in seeing a vid of this done using a regular group makeup.
I have to hit revered with KoT for gear for my pally and am trying to work out whether to just grind hillsbrad @ 900 per run or try to grind BM @ 1100 per run. I need to do it at least once for the 8k rep boost, but after that I'm not sure which will be an easier grind.
so my vid making attempts this weekend were very sad indeed... sorry!
When I run with a normal group comp (rather then pal/4x sham) I found that Old Hills up to the second boss was the fastest rep grind for us (that was me on priest/mage/pali with a guildy hunter and warlock). we'd just do the pit + boss, escort out of the keep + boss and reset nice and quick.
For Black Morass I have had trouble with any group comp that wasn't pretty much pure DPS if we were going in with fresh 70s gear (though I am sure this will change as gear improves on the other crew).
