For any stupid people like me who ran around going "Where's this flare I'm meant to use?"

Because this is a hunter specific quest, the flare is the hunter specific ability, Flare.

You do NOT want to know how long it took me to figure that out.

I found the 2 adds and then especially Hakkar very difficult to kill as a MM hunter on beta. He hits like a truck and the chances of pulling extra dogs while kiting are too high.

Changed 1st tier talent out of Lone Wolf and used a pet (specc'ed tenacity to be safe). It made the encounter trivial and boring :)

Give it a go if you're struggling with it.

Description

We have everything we need to set the trap for Hakkar. Archmage Khadgar will summon a portal to the Violet Hold. Once inside, he will begin to channel his essence into the arcane vessel at your command. Our allies will be armed with the weapons you brought them, ready to fight when Hakkar takes the bait.
