What's with all the Trolls?
Join Byron "Messiah" Mudry as he once again explores a new instance in the World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King expansion. This time he ventures further north to the Troll and Scourge infested Drak'Tharon Keep, found perched between the zones of Grizzly Hills and Zul'Drak. In this first part of the guide he looks at the history, creatures and first boss in the instance.
In addition to fighting Trollgore, troll bat-riders spawn in groups of three and must be picked up and dealt with. The best way to do this depends on the type of tank. As a Paladin tank you want to tank him at the top of the stairs so that you can grab them with consecrate as they land. As any other type of tank it is probably best to tank him at the bottom of the stairs and allow the ranged DPS time to kill the adds as they run down the stairs into the fight. Either way, they are non-elites and will die quickly when focused on.
You can find out more about the instance in our Drak'Tharon Keep Preview Guide.
