[quote:ace00b6683="ohnoez"]this strat got nerfed. would be nice though.  =\[/quote:ace00b6683]
Indeed!  Seems like someone found a way around Blizzard's script of this mob, eh? hehe

I found a strat at [url=http://www.wowwiki.com/High_Priestess_Arlokk]Wowwiki[/url] that is basically the same as the one Dreadwind posted [url=http://fse.luniz.org/viewtopic.php?t=21&amp;start=0&amp;postdays=0&amp;postorder=asc&amp;highlight=&amp;sid=2dd77571f3a2c05c5ecc20883b16919b]here[/url].  It describes the same strategy a little better, imho, which might help everyone know what their &quot;best role&quot; in taking down this boss is when using this strategy.

One thing I wasn't aware of is how the mark only aggros pathers which are in line of sight.  Now I understand why this strategy calls for standing at the wall OPPOSITE the gong instead of at the gong wall.  This link indicates how much a pally can help.  Anyone know a pally who wouldn't mind joining us to take down this boss? ;)

The link also provides two alternate strategies.

I also located information from a poster at [url=http://vnboards.ign.com/wow_quests_items_locations_info_and_tips/b22838/92015289/r92730258/] vnboards[/url] who suggests the use of target dummies.  I've not used them before so I have no idea how well they'd hold up or how they work, but it sounded interesting enough I thought it might be worth throwing out there...

The strategy at [url=http://lookingforgroup.blogspot.com/2005/11/zg-panther-boss-strategy.html]lfg[/url] seems to back up one of the three strategies at the first site I posted, gathering the panthers in a corner near the gong, but this post seems to be older as it suggests the use of green whelp armor.  It also seems like a more advanced strat as opposed to one which would be best to FIRST take this boss down with.
