thanks and i have similar experiences from the pastHi all.
Marsh Horde did this as a guild raid a few months ago and we managed all encounters with a single full group (including a buffbot as one of the eight). Several good solid tanks are very important because the boss mobs are very resistant to magic. On the other hand a good, guarded, PBAoEr helps a great deal in clearing out the trash mobs when moving around and an ani helps to break the hit code so that the tanks can successfully taunt. Obviously a bard never goes down badly either
Just as an end note but we had the most problems with Zili who al but wiped us on our first attempt but we re-planned and handled the different mob aggro's much better the second time.
Would love to have come tonight but unfortunately have already got plans. Good hunting!
