Never actually did these guys on normal mode but just a warning in heroic they have very flaky aggro and will jump between the high DPSers and healers alot. Strategy to come in the future.

Comment by RichoDemus

after doing this instance some times we belive these mobs have no threat list at all, they just attack the last one who did anything

How many of these can you find in the instance?

Has any Druid/Rogue been able to solo these pulls to farm for Dexterity?

It is easy to get by the first boss. You don't even need stealth.

When he is in the back area move up halfway and run into the opening area on the wall.

Wait for him to path up to the front.

Run into the rest of the instance.

For the skellies, you can get them as combat 2 at a time even with decent gear. You just have to pop your CDs, kill 2, vanish, wait, repeat. It is boring, but if you do not want to bother with groups...

Getting to these guys for the formula isn't overly hectic and this instance on normal still drops it. These skeletons with blue pants are the only ones who do drop it though. This place on normal is easily tanked with two feral cats/rogues, jump each elite mob and clean the adds. Easy enough for 3 or 4 70's to have these guys on farm every 15-20 minutes

I just got this: be prepared to die a time or two and have horrible luck getting it, but it's doable for sure as a feral druid with some decent gear. I would not attempt it if you're not geared, as you do have to deal with five packs of elites, but if you can handle that it's farmable.

I was able to solo this as a combat rogue with diffrint gear, abit from kara, za, bt, mh and other epic stuff.
I am a rogue btw :)
I used sprint at the boss, ran to the room beheind, ran beheind the wall and vanished. It isnt hard
Blade flurry and everything i can use, evasion, adrenaline rush etc. when you gotta kill the packs of skeletons.
I died pretty much when i had to kill the packs, but in the end, i did it.
The boss bugged sometimes, my vanish didnt work and stuff.

For any druids that want to go back for this enchant like me, here's a tip: patience.

Stealth through. On the red bridge, there are two invisible creatures, if they spot you, kill them easily enough. However unless you're prepared to fight the adds on the bridge (and killing them may be worth your time anyway if you want to spend time doing it), sneak in the little cubbies to let them pass you. Don't follow right behind because those invisible creatures will pull you out of stealth. Remember these humanoid mobs summon other mobs. These mobs also have knockback, so do not have your back facing off the bridge.

Before the big boss are 2 monks. Pass them easily, stay on the edge (don't want to run into one of the invisible creatures here either). Now, you cannot stealth past the boss. If you time it right, you can actually stealth and dash around a cubby when he's near you, but that wasn't reliable for me. The boss paths back and forth. Simply wait for him to go all the way back. Run into the middle cubby. As he passes to the front, then make your way toward the back hall. Once there, you can stealth again.

Fighting the skeletons requires cooldowns. Most of my tanking set is my lvl 200/213 (with a lvl 70 trinket still...sigh), and I only died once to the skeletons. Kill the Angry Skeletons first, as they enrage (upon being hit I believe). Barkskin to start (when you have the most mobs hitting you). Oh, HoTing yourself to start is not a bad idea either (you don't need to enrage, you'll get a ton of rage soon enough).

Once you kill them, go naked and die to other mobs. Run back to the instance and all trash will be reset (so long as you're not in a party). Rinse and repeat. Only 5 instances per hour, and every time you reenter it counts as one of those - so do not die, it's a waste of an instance.

It took me 9-10 tries tonight to do it. Died more than I should have while learning about farming in a heroic instance. Though I still made a profit (with d/e greens and AH'ing cloth) and got the enchant.

Next up... Arcatraz (at least it doesn't have to be heroic).

[Wow, so cuckhead.com says that the enchant only drops on heroic, but apparently people are saying it can be looted on normal as well. Sucks to be me!)

As an 80 Arcane, and Frost spec mage, i was ableto get past the boss with invisibility. No breaks. So it might be possible to get past him with sprint and an invisibility potion. This is a highly in demand enchant for twinks on PvP servers.

PS: And this DOES drop on normal. I got it just now. 1st pack on my 3rd run.

Raging Skeleton is wearing these shoulders for anyone interested.

Formula: Enchant Boots - Dexterity now drops 100% off these mobs if you are an enchanter in Heroic mode. Confirmed by myself and others on said enchants' comment section.
