Took me about 60 kills on Kael'thas in there for my white strider mount, good luck!Acherontia wrote:I'd heard rumors that UP was already being solo'd. By hunters? Dunno. >.< You can skip the first two bosses though can't you? And the protodrake boss is just a matter of gear really.
I SHOULD add the Magister's Terrace one, eh!? I utterly forgot about him; and to think I just started farming him the other dayI'll do that one once it's routine; may have learned some tricks by then
Some tips I can give you:
This instance was easy before patch 4.0.1 if you knew what you were doing, so it should be even more cake now. I used a Turtle, though any Tenacity pet should do well. Trash pulls are easy and shouldn't cause any trouble now with the more powerful Mend Pet and higher health pools of pets.
First boss, really very easy. Just hit him and if he goes to a crystal, you don't even need to dps it down because it does very little damage if at all to you and your pet.
2nd boss, Vexallus, is quite tricky. Best part is to switch out to a Ferocity pet and burn him down. When the orbs spawn, MD them to your pet but try NOT to kill them. When in orb form their attacks will be resistible by the pet. But if they are killed by you or your pet, they will stack a debuff on the pet. MD and multishot once and focus on the boss. Having a Ferocity pet with Heart of the Phoenix if you're doing it your first time is also good.
3rd boss is like mini-Faction Champs. One thing I forgot to add is to use Track Humanoids to check who's in the roster before you reach them. If you see Warlord Salaris when you enter as a blip on your map, leave the instance and reset (only up to 4 times or else you'll be stuck outside till your limit resets). He has a nasty charge and is more trouble than he's worth.
Anyway for this boss, again switch to a Ferocity pet, and take off Growl. It'll be useless here as the mobs aggro wipe. Focus and burn down the Priestess, as she will heal. On pull, place Frost Trap, Explosive Trap and SNAKE TRAP. When the melee approach you and trigger the traps, you'll notice the Snakes would end up attracting aggro. The adds pick random targets, and the Snakes count as valid targets, and will take several melee blows and attract any casters' attacks as well. Burn down the melee first and then the casters. A bug I noticed before was that if you pull to far from the main area while fighting, you would not be able to loot the Priestess (who is the main boss).
4th boss, Kael'thas. Very easy to do. A Tenacity pet also might not be necessary anymore. Burn down Kael quickly as he has a soft enrage where he casts a very powerful Pyroblast that will still kill you (deals 30k-50k damage). He would summon his Phoenix at least once before P2. You don't have to have your pet to change target, but burn down the Phoenix, and its egg, and focus on Kael again.
P2 is fun. You fly around and ping Kael, avoiding the energy balls. The pet stays on the ground and isn't affected by damage much, so it'll just happily chomp away. Give him enough damage and poof, you won!
