so I wanna tame that epic corehound

any tips? who I should look into bringing, how many people?

I had to have at least one level 80 tank, one level 80 healer plu smyself. We had one more level 80 dps, and we did fine.

I had to pay 500g for the group though. Hopefully you have some guildmates who would run with you?

bring ppl that have been there b4, otherwise you'll need to do the attunement. easily 3 manned. you dont want to bring too many, cuz then someone will do something stupid and pull a bunch of grps and get ppl killed. rogue would be great for suppression room but not necessary. and someone that has good aoe.

i went with a shadow priest and mage. 1st boss the aoe helps a lot, cuz multi shot sucks. the rest of the bosses are just zerg them down. one of the drakes (Ebonroc) just before Chromag's room puts a debuff on the person he's attack that will heal him, so have to switch tanks. pet had him 1st, then the mage tanked for a while then the shadow priest.

at Chromag, i called out The Beast, cast ancient hysteria, dismiss pet, mage pulled the lever. i arcane shot chromag and begin the tame. easy.

'Easily Three Manned' is an overstatement. The first boss is still a bitch and still hits hard even WITH 2 druids and my own paladin protecting Sandra's mother as she had her mage control the boss; he is not a laughing matter unless you can really easily burn down the trash and keep them off the boss -without- the DPS going oom or getting aggro. I know I thanked myself for being smart enough to put talents into buffing WoG -and- promoting the self heal from holy for the fight was brutal. It's an Endurance run as much as an AoE fest.

Ebonroc is easy- it just gets tedious and tiring of having to ping pong him or tank without melee, which is hard. The hardest boss is Firemaw, the dragon before the two. He puts on a debuff that can easily still kill a level 80- I know how horribad it was as I was having to spam holy power charges just to get WoG off to heal Aria and Tailcoy or myself. Hell a few times I had to pop Divine Light or whatever that massive heal is, because that fight can get horrible with all the stacks.

It was a three man for me, but I would like to point out that all three of us were geared in ICC25 gear. And I, myself, was running in my full tanking outfit, which afforded me around 46k HP. So it wasn't exactly a 'low health' situation. Three, I think, would be bare minimum well-geared, and four or five would be safer. Especially for the second boss, where it's a DPS race. His debuff essentially will kill you. Period. Make you go 'boom'. And the constant party damage is... damaging. So, go for four or five people to be safe, if you can. I know, big 'if'.

Also, yes. The attunement. Either prepare to do the questline (which isn't too bad, but can be a time-waster) or make sure you have people who are attuned. Don't think everyone has attunement and then try to go in, only to get massively frustrated when they don't. This has happened more often than I can count in the past!

How much hp do you need? My hunter isn't exactly rolling in epics, so I'm considering just waiting until 85, or at least a bit of Cata quest gear.

i had my hydra/croc pet tank most of the melee mobs that came up the platform. the mage and shadow priest took turns MCing the boss and aoe'ing the melee mobs. i laid down traps and kept MD up, and killed the casters.

they're all really easy, only deaths were at the 2nd boss b/c of the debuff. and the deaths happened after we killed him.

after we downed broodlord, we cleared the left side of the next room. there's an alcove/small room just before the ramps. i set my pet in one corner. we stood in the other corner. when he patted down i chain md'ed to my pet, the three of us just burned it down.

edit: i had 31k hp. ilvl average 272.

Whatever HP you have should be enough as long as you're at level 80. The tame doesn't last long and he doesn't hit for much. If you happen to have a Disc Priest with you, have them shield you prior to your engaging of Chromie ... then do your thing. Don't shoot beforehand or anything, just run into max distance and hit tame, that will save you a bit of health.

Actually I would say that doing the questline isn't that important/being attuned isn't that important. The run isn't so quick but it's not horribad either- the only hiccup is Rend, you have to dps him SLOWLY otherwise he glitches and you need to ticket.

Sides if you need goblin rep, strangely the mobs in UBRS still give 3 points per kill even tho grey 8D

Edit: aslong as you're wearing the tabard ofc.

Me, Sonata and SgtMakkie three-manned it - 80 BM Hunter with a 77 Beetle, 80 Resto Druid and 74 Disc Priest. We did wipe a lot, especially at the first boss, but in the end we were successful. ^^ If you're going with that few people, good communication is a must, so we ended up talking in Skype throughout the place.

About the three drake bosses right before Chromaggus, we only had to kill one of them. After that I could just run into Chromaggus' chamber, feign and tame him. It's worth noting however that everyone else should probably leave the zone before you do that - else the mobs guarding Chrom's room will go for the others once you feign - along with the two drake bosses if you're unlucky.
