You're Doing it Wrong (Level 90)

Time to stack bandages, the healing skills of my hunter won't go unnoticed!

Here are some tips for any DPS trying the tank challenge:

- This is going to be very tricky. Don't get discouraged. Settle in for the long haul. I strongly suggest food and a flask.
- You're not a DPS anymore. Your job is not to try to kill all the things. You're a tank. Sikari is your DPS. Even knowing this intellectually, you may find your DPS instincts taking over now and again; do your best to overcome them.
- Since your gear is all scaled down to 463, your DPS is going to be much worse than usual. This means that you can't just try to face-aggro everything. Sikari is better at face-aggroing than you are, trust me. Look through your spellbook for any taunts you may have forgotten about, as well as any slows, stuns, roots, fears or other CC. Defensive cooldowns, too.
- Adds only ever spawn from two points, the circles on the ground closest to the gate. Put a world marker on each of these spawn points. Because it's so easy to get turned around in that room, this will be vital to helping you remember where each consecutive wave is going to spawn and prepare accordingly.
- If you can't pick up aggro on mobs outright, do your very best to delay them from getting to Sikari, and hope she kills them before they do. On packs of 4 mobs or more, she uses an AoE lightning, and on packs of 3 or less, she single-targets whichever mob has the least health, meaning that if you're quick on the draw, you can partially influence what she will attack first.
- Sikari's only heal is a HoT. Admittedly a pretty powerful one, but still. If you have some breathing time between waves, heal or bandage yourself and her.

And now, some hunter-specific tips:

- I did this with Glyph of Animal Bond, Glyph of Misdirection and Glyph of Mending. Glyph of Distracting Shot would also be useful, but I didn't realize I had it until after I'd already completed the challenge.
- As for talents, Narrow Escape and Binding Shot are really valuable for trapping things in place right after they spawn. I took Spirit Bond because I didn't know if my usual standby, Iron Hawk, applied to my pet as well. I used Dire Beast on CD, though any of the level 60 talents are fine. Lynx Rush and Glaive Toss are good for dealing with packs of virmen.
- Use your favorite tank pet, and make sure that Growl and Thunderstomp are on (you may have turned one or both off at some point in the past).
- Pre-drop every trap you've got on each spawn point, and wait on top of it. Disengage as soon as anything spawns, so that the web trap from Narrow Escape kicks in. Misdirect and Multishot like crazy to establish initial aggro, and keep Mend Pet up at all times. If anything gets past you, slow them down with Concussive Shot, Binding Shot, or Scatter Shot. If mobs stick onto Sikari, chain Distracting Shot until all of them peel off onto you.
- You don't have to try to position your pet to take advantage of the lava. It's just too fiddly. Sikari will kill things fine without the help of the lava. (If you have any mobs on you, on the other hand, you can totally try to stand them in the lava.)
- Interrupt casters as you can.
- Laugh at the wind mantid guy. Your pet doesn't care about knockbacks.
