WotLK Instance Tactics

[Nmagrig]

I am curious as to the minimum gear you would think would suffice in here as I am not full S2 yet after being 70 for a few weeks. I would like to go into northrend and go straight for this instance. Kinda like how I went into OL and straight to ramps for a full lvl. Do you think this is possible? And if so could you give the baseline stats you think you need.

Resilience counts for bupkees in WotLK instances, right?

[Nepida]

As far as I know resilience works fine in PvE still. I know there was a rumor a while ago that it wouldn't but I don't think that ever materialized.

Nepida have you gotten too the last boss yet? Any chance at some more video of you doing another instance?

I've made several attempts but as easy as she is non-boxing she is a bitch trying to box her. As for other instances I was planning on doing a video of utgarde but apparently the zepplins are down and I made the mistake of going to UC to zep to howling fjord :/ Hopefully it will be fixed by this weekend because I really want to give the last boss of that a go.

With regards to Grand Magus Telestra, any idea if you can still avoid the bounce around? I get that after 2 nukes or so, and it completely screws me....any other tips for a pal+4 sham team with poor gear on the shams?

Thanks for sharing Nepida.

I am also advancing through various instances without too much hassle so far. I was wondering why you always open your pulls with a chain lightning? This is basically a waste of DPS since you could have nuked down the first mob if you would have opened with Lightning Bolt, Chainlightning, Shocks instead. Opening with Chain Lightning wastes approxiamelly min 8k dmg (non crit, 16k crit).

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure. I think by that point (I had run the instance like 6 times in a row to get a decent video) I was just mashing keys for trash mobs. Thinking back, generally I pull with lightning bolt.

I think for Ingvar phase 2, his AE is range-based. I was standing my team by a pillar and tanking him in the center, I wiped in phase 2 four times. I called in a friend to tank for me, and he charged in and tanked him at the opposite side of the circle so I was at max range. In the first position, the Dark Stomp or whatever would take over half my life. In the second it was barely 1/4. You can't LoS it, I tried that the first time, but if you stay at max-range it's actually a pretty easy fight.

The second boss (the melee+caster) was hard for me as well. The caster doesn't hold aggro and just randomly nukes people. His shadowbolts hurt, ~3.5-4k I think. It took me 3 tries before I just focused on heals instead of dps.

for the last boss just fire ele, EM+TS, flame shock, CL, LB (till dead) i dropped him in phase 2 in about 10 sec.
