thought Id share a little lvl77+ XP gold mine Ive only just found.

Halls Of Lighning Xp/Speed Runs!!

XP @ lvl77 = 231k Per hour (not rested)

After running the full instance a fair few times it became apparent that once u get past the 2nd boss XP per hour drops a load, mainly due to 3rd boss taking a while/being a pain etc and the trash upto to him being small anoying pulls.

what we've been doing is fast pulls till we down 2nd boss run and reset. heres a bit more detail for those that hant done the instance...

Our Group
Dk tank (Gf plays tank with me on the rest)
frost mage
boomkin
ele sham
Disc priest (the main char i sure, rest are slaves, suggest resepecing disc if you use a holy priest for healing for this, its much much more mana effecicient and will save loads of drink breaks)

The Run

1) kill trash in first room till 1st boss (ltheres 2 paths to the boss leave 1 full of trash to kill on the way back)
2) kill first boss - kill the 2 adds 1st, we dont worry about him having lighting(extra DPs buff) hes pretty easy
3) move through rock elemental room thing - I just shield all, run threw to stairs then aoe on stairs.
4) kill all trash in the room
5) 2nd boss - all stick tank, tanks uses a aoe macro to gather the adds that spance and just DPs boss down.
6) run back to entrance using the other path in the 1st room to lear the rest of trash.

Runs are taking us 25-30 mins @ 7% of a lvl per run.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Effex - would love to be able to do this, but I'm just not sure I could do it with a pally, holy priest, 3x frost mage team. My pally just dinged 77, and the rest are 50% to 77. HOL looks like a lvl 78-80 instance that I would get smoked in ... havent t run HOL yet, but from youtube it looks like you get the standard 2-4 pack of mobs. Would love to do this, but not sure if it's viable. My mages are currently run about 1000dps at lvl 76 as full frost, but i'm willing to respec if necessary. Did you CC the extras and burn down 1 at a time? or did you grab whole packs and AOE them down while spamming heals on the tank?
