Stuck in Stratholme?
World of Warcraft's level 60 "Stratholme" instance was recently converted to a 5-person group instance from a 10-person raid. If you found that you could really use another five guildmates on your last Stratholme run, check out the newest guide from WoW - TenTonHammer:
Stratholme is a very difficult instance to 5 man, so one of the primary concerns with group composition for a 5 man run is level. At least 4 of the members should be level 60 and preferable the whole group should be level 60. If you must take a lower level player with you on a 5 man run casters are not a good choice as the higher level MOBs and bosses will have an increased chance to resist them. Lower level healers are an option if they stay back and know how to manage aggro. If they move forward or cast large heals they will pick up aggro fast and need to be saved.
