Bastion of Twilight BOE Epic Farm Strat

I unfortunately only have 2 CC's. Sheep and Hex, as I play monkin,pally,shammy,mage,priest. The soul blades and shadow knights are immune to my moonkin's roots

I've farmed this for countless hours and can tell you with confidence that if you are only farming epics, there is no reason to go beyond the first four mobs. Enter, kill three, keep the fourth sheeped, run out, (don't reset the instance), run back in, the initial four will be back up, repeat.

The other mobs are more complex to kill and the phase guys have a much lower epic drop rate.

I'm not kidding, I got 16 BoE epics off the Phase-Twisters last weekend in 8 hours total farming.

Shadow Knights are rootable (Frost Nova and talented Cone of Cold works at least, so should work your moonkin's roots as well?)

Common knowledge I guess, but here's a tip for looting.

1) Have Pass on Loot on all your toons, except your main toon, so you can easily loot everything on your main. Also if you have Loot Threshold on Common (default) and you have disenchanter in your group, you can DE all the greens in the fly while looting, since only your main toon will get the Need/Greed/Disenchant -window

2) Same as above, but have Loot Threshold on Epic. After you kill a pack, you can easily check in advance if the pack have any epics to loot, since only epic loot sparkles are visible to your slave toons Though you can not DE greens in a fly, since your main will loot them as is.

I've been very unlucky with amount of epics this weekend, only 2 so far compared to almost 20 epics last weekend with same amount of farming hours. Good luck though

I've always kept mine set to Free for All when just running my teams and no one else in the group, but when I started using them in the random dungeon finder, and pugging the last to pop it, I had them on pass on loot. Not sure if it's been changed, but the short time I did this, they were unable to loot any profession plans/recipes they were able to pick up that was BoP, like from the bosses. Has this been changed or how would I set this up now for when I start back up to have my main able to loot all, be the only one to hit the need/greed/de roll, but still have slaves able to loot their plans/recipes?

with the amount of grays and cloth, it's stupid not to do ffa.

how?

if you use the ways I mentioned, it means your main toon will loot all the grays and cloths as well of course.
If you get lots of greens, you can DE them in a fly not filling your bags.

Also, Potion of treasure finding works in tBoT. In case you have lots of cata herbs in your bags and you're wondering which pots you should make off those..

how would I set this up now for when I start back up to have my main able to loot all, be the only one to hit the need/greed/de roll, but still have slaves able to loot their plans/recipes?

Afaik this is not possible

I am just getting back into the game. so a quick question about this.

What would be the minimum ilevel suggested for trying the first 4 mobs? i will more than likely be going prot pally, 3 dps shaman and a druid or disc priest.
