I finally figured this out with my last RAF group. My Pally is in mostly S2 former healing gear just because of the stamina it offered and I never raided with her.

You don't really want to run the instance. I ran the UD side, then did live. It was a brutal 4 hours. The last thing I did was clear out the large undead mob packs and >BAM< I had it. Those pulls are fairly easy if you LOS the mobs. I was able to get up to 3-4 packs at a time plus a fat green dude.

I prefer starting on the undead side, get the keyif you have to. If you use a swiftness pot you can catch the one Boss that is there in the beginning. He drops teh crimson felt hat, the orginal pimp hat, it is worth having.

So you clear that first room the head to the left and clear everything out in there then go left or right in the circle working your way back to where you started. Large amounts of XP pretty fast. My little guys did nothing. If you stick to this path there is nothing that can stop your heals except being punted or the kick from the courier guy. So if you are careful you will be able to heal yourself (thank you push back change). I also am a looter, I have to loot it is an OCD thing. I made TONS of gold in there. Got an orb of deception and a couple other blues that sold ok and about 1000g worth of runecloth, which you will need for your cloth turn ins anyway. Just killing all the trash mobs netted over 100g per toon in coin which paid some training and repair bills. Which I needed since Iam getting kind of poor trying to feed like 5 groups under 70. There is also a special boss in there now that drops some decent (used to be nice) blue caster gear and he is worth good XP ~3x a normal elite I think.


In all honesty, if you are horde, Questing is faster through HInterlands, Ungoro and then WPL. But for my last group i was tired of doing that run and "back in the day" ran strat about a billion times so it was fun for me to basically solo it.
