Heroic halls of lightning tends to be, what are these kids calling it these days... ohh right, A bitch. Tanking this instance you have almost every single hard thing in it, except fire(please blizzard, I am not saying you need to add fire, the instance is good on its own, don't touch it.) Now very simply put this instance is very tank-able, but make sure your gear isn't all blues or polar items. And having a great healer helps.

Lots of aoe damage, don't be discouraged if a member of your group dies or if you wipe once or twice, especially around the beserkers, I don't care how geared you are, it happens.

First boss, clear to the right don't engage him till you have cleared most of the mobs on one side. He is easy other than that, spam swipe, If you lose aggro use your aoe taunt, Might want to use demor roar right off the bat if your lower geared(or if you feel like it). Remember in this entire instance to keep moving and don't let the mobs hit behind you.

During the elementals, I am crazy but ill just bring them all to me, beat the hell out of them, before they die,I pop Survival Inst and barkskin and let them blow. Never failed me yet.


Clear more mobs,at the fork in the road, go left. Clear left, there is no reason to clear the right, unless you are with people who don't listen. Boss fight, the forge guy is pretty easy, just pull him back to you, dps him. He will run up to his forge, soon as hes done taunt him. He will be dead quickly. Adds will come out, get everyone to come to you, aoe taunt, or swipe to get hate. And your done.

Next boss, Ionar, Is a very straight foward fight. Just stay away from the shocker things, blow cool downs as needed, I tend to face him away from the group just out of habit, but it works. Always watch your healer in this fight, and have battle rez waiting if they don't move fast enough.

The next room after this if you have a lot of melee, just be careful, kill runeshapers first, and the beserkers will charge almost killing someone, taunt them quick. Its not really an aggro wipe, but maybe its in my head but they come back to me faster if I taunt them. Take this slow, mark your targets and make sure people work with you. When they begin to whirl wind or wind whirl(whatever it is, Fyurae has made fun of me in the past because I can't remember which one it is). I can't stress enough, that people would rather you go slow, than wipe the raid, Do not be pressured into moving faster than you are comfortable.

Last boss, Tank him where he stands, YOU don't move, If you move it can throw off everything. Tank him where he is, toss up lacerate, attack pretty hard, use CDS and relax. A lot of people hate this instance, I had a really hard time the first few times, but once your used to it, and have a good healer its not too bad.

Signing off for now,
