45min. UD strat run

[Wasabee]

How do you do it?

Guild runs we are short 10 minutes +.

PUG group = 2 hours.... :(

I've never tried it because I determined that dungeon set two was a waste of time. From what I hear the trick is to never stop pulling. Have a back up healer so the Priest can drink for a few seconds when necessary and just bandage as necessary for DPS classes. Skip any and all groups possible... no looting the ones you do fight.

probably would help to use flasks as well... (titans for melee classes and supreme power for casters)

The warrior class lead for my guild explained to me that you start the next pull when the the mobs you're currently fighting are at 30%. When you kill a boss, split the party and have 2 kill the zig (mage+priest) and the rest go on and start the next pull.

I'm really upset at blizz for putting this 45m run in. IMHO there are several classes which are made for this run, and the rest who are fricken screwed. You need your 4: warrior+priest+hunter+mage+1
Warrior to tank, priest to heal/shackle, hunter to pull, mage to sheep and dps like mad. That leaves the rest of the classes to be the +1.

Of course I could care less about my .5 set... feralheart is _LAME_

You can skip the warrior all together if you like. We always ran this with 2 pallies. They hold aggro and do wonderful damage vs undead. 2 pallies, 2 hunters, (or 1 hunter and a lock or mage) and a priest was always a bang up group for us. This also makes the run go easy since a pally can solo clear the Zig while you continue on. By the way, this isn't just for getting your tier .5 either. It's a great rep farming run because you get 150 extra AD rep for finishing in under 45 minutes.

Yes you never want to stop pulling, but you dont want to pull too many at once either. The biggest key.

Do not loot. This is the 10 minutes that you might be wasting, 5-10 seconds on a mob adds up when you are talking over 100's of mobs.

I did it once with my semi-epic guild, we aoed the whole bunch with 2 mages and a lock. Went very fast. We didn't even go for the 45 mins, we were just for ... no idea what actually.

5 tips. Everyone but the healer dpss
Make sure everyone has some of the best gear from the 10mans and 5mans. No greens or low lvl blues.
While the casters drink, do any single pulls.
Pull the abominations at the end of the instance instead of letting them wander to you.
Bring lots of holy water.

It should be obvious but dont wipe.

Has anyone seen a video for this? I'm having issues sorting through all the videos when seraching google and yahoo.

That's exactly what we did. 5 people with 3 or 4 epics a piece (all preraid) blew through it without even trying. 2 mages and a lock AOE'd the place to the ground.
