za time run

hey guys, I was looking at the bear mount and how we can do it, I came upon this site http://elitistjerks.com/f15/t20104-za_timed_run/ that has a movie you can download that explains how it is done.

For the most part it is almost the same that we do but they take on more than one pack. Especially during the eagle boss.. they take on the two groups of two at the start, kill those 4 and then carry on. Another thing they do that I see them do that we don't really do is mounting up. it will save some time I guess.

I think we should fold in on the eagle boss and melee it that way we can do dmg for the 10 seconds or so that the storm is up we should prob do that, as well I think it might be better since we take three healers not attack the hawks but just go all out on the boss. It would be up to the healers and if they can do it, personally I think they can.

Go to that site and look it up and see, personally I think we can do it, we have the gear and the knowledge we just need to actually use the knowledge and skills that we have and push ourselves.

Another thing I see is that they don't really sheep.. I got another vid that catalyst posted and they don't CC for the most part it is up to the tank/pali to get agro and keep it and then the healers to heal and mages/shamans to keep the casters taht can heal from healing. I think the mages main role will be aoe and not sheeping.. we are losing alot of time with the CCing and I think we need to rely less on that and more on the tanks controling the groups.

Lynx Trash

Several packs of trash on the Lynx boss can be avoided by chosing a cunning route. From outside the eagle boss, run along the top of the waterfall towards the Lynx area.

You will come across a static pack of cats (including an elder Lynx) which need to be cleared. After they are dead, make sure the roamers ahead are out of the way and then run along to the side of the hut on your left. There is a window on the hut – jump through this into the hut and then jump out of the window on the other side of the hut. From there run behind the hut ahead of you and then head right (you will be going along the bottom of the stairs which exit the Lynx boss room).

Keep going until you get to the winding path along the river - kill the troll with the 2 croc pets (don’t aggro the neutral crocs) and proceed onwards. By doing this you have skipped 2-3 packs which helps a lot with the timer.

The rest of the clear is pretty straightforward, although there is quite a bit to clear. Make sure to dispel any of your raid who get mind controlled because a dps class can kill people pretty quickly.

We were in the wrong spot the night we were trying to take this shortcut.
