We did a 2 hour run last night. We were in experiment mode, even knowing it might mean losing chests, which was fun.
First, with my pally and a bear off-tank, we pulled pretty much the entire Eagle gauntlet on up and killed Tempest before much else. I think we got one wave of eagles, maybe two. That saved some time, just stopping to nuke any casters that refused to be trained up the hill.
I tanked eagle while the druid dps'd in cat, as usual.
We lost about 6 minutes to a freak wipe on Bear boss, but oh well. Had like 16m left on the timer after Bear died on 2nd pull.
When we got to the last scout hut, with the 4-pull near the stairs, we had double-flame caster, of course.
We tried sheeping/MC'ing one and running the rest of them to the far wall (a safe spot where scouts don't roam), but underestimated the decimation the 2nd flame caster would put out as we moved him. Was worth a shot though.
After we ran back in (no wipe protection up, ankhs down, etc), we chain pulled up to chicken-hawk (as we call him) and pulled him with maybe 5 minutes on the clock. He died about (not kidding) 3 seconds after the timer expired.
Anyway, not wiping on bear boss and killing the 4-pull by the last scout hut efficiently would have left us around 11-12 minutes on the timer after Dragonhawk died, I believe.
We then took a break, looted chests, and timed our push through Lynx trash.
Took us just over 12 minutes to get to Lynx and pull him. Yikes. Looks like we need to improve there before we even worry about trying to make bear timers.
