== Use CC. Don't break CC. Use your brain. ==
Each epic Primal Hakkari quest item is only usable for quests of a certain class. Here is a quick reference guide on who should roll need on which items (assuming that you don't already have the item, and have not completed the quest).

= High Priests and Priestesses =
 +
== Panther Priestess ==
 +
=== Start ===
 +
* Raid stands by gong. MT stands in the middle closer to the door at start.
 +
* Two offtanks (hopefully with green whelp armor) stand well into the panther spawn pens.
 +
* Do NOT attempt to run back into the instance if you die - the door is sealed and you can bug the gong.
 +
* Do NOT stay feigned/vanished during a wipe or the gong may bug.
 +
* If you get marked by the priestess, stand as far back into the gong as possible, you have a short range effect that will draw panthers to you. If you are useful, dps may kill panthers that slip through towards you.
 +
* Panther adds will be offtanked at the edge of each of the side pens. Please stay clear.
 +
* The shaman in the panther offtanks' group(s) needs to keep a stoneskin totem in range of the offtank at all times.
 +
* All DPS on the priestess.
 +
* Additional marked players need to STAY AWAY from the pen areas (the mark has a range - near the doorway or by the gong depending on your range needs).
 +
=== After First Vanish ===
 +
* The Panther Priestess will occasionally vanish - during this period go ahead and kill straggler panthers, assisting the MA. Try to conserve mana / energy / rage for the Priestess' reappearance.
 +
* Warriors spread out towards the end of the vanish - whoever is closest when the Panther Priestess reappears needs to taunt and tank her until the MT can take over. She must not be attacking healers.
 +
* When she reappears, she usually does a pretty high damage AoE whirlwind attack. You do NOT want to be clustered up when that happens.
 +
=== When the Hoodoo hits the fan ===
 +
* In case of emergency (offtank druid near death) - mages need to be prepared to frost nova the panther pack before they spread out (work out an order ahead of time). While the pack is frost nova'd a backup offtank warrior can attempt to take over (suggestion: challenging shout->retaliation->defensive stance). All others stay concentrated on the priestess.
 +
* In case of all hell broken loose - earthbind totems, intitmidating shout, flash bombs & fear.

=== Hakkari Bijou ===
+
== Tiger Priest (Tony the Tiger) ==
Each Hakkari class quest requires specific Bijous. Here is a list, sorted by by Bijou, of the color Bijou required for each class' Hakkari item quests. Note that this is not a definitive list of which classes can use which Bijou, as all classes may destroy a Hakkari Bijou at the Altar of Zanza on Yojamba Isle to receive a [http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19858 Zandalar Honor Token].
+
===Phase 1===
 +
* On initial pull, quickly kill non-humanoid adds (Assisting the MA). Try to CC the other adds in a place that the MA can find easily (ex. pull to freezing traps just at the start of the open area.
 +
* In the following order: Rogue add (stands West/Left of the Priest) to 15%, Priest to 10%, Shaman add (stands East/Right of the Priest) to 15% - bring them together and kill them all. If they die too far apart they will resurrect each other.
 +
* The MA will call the switches, but use your brain - be prepared to ease up at 18%/13%/18%.
 +
* The shaman add is worth keeping detect magic up on and purging away lighting shields etc.
 +
* The humanoid High Priest hits like a truck - keep thunderclap on the priest(and hurricane if it can be spared). Try to get by with just PW:S during the MS debuff - conserving healer mana in phase 1 is important.
 +
* The rogue and High priest can be tanked together (shared thunderclap & hurricane), but the shaman will heal the others if they are too close.
 +
* The shaman will attempt to heal himself - interrupt that.
 +
===Phase 2===
 +
* Tony will rise from the dead very quickly after the 3 humanoids are dropped in phase 1.
 +
* Move into the smaller area where the High Priest was before the pull started (but not all the way in the hut - LoS sucks there). Raid on the West/Left, MT (and melee when DPS is on) on the East/Right.
 +
* DPS (and non-emergency healing) is OFF when Tony is not in position. DPS is ON ~1 second after Tony has returned to position.
 +
* An offtank will remain with the healers/ranged and taunt tony back to the MT if aggro does not return immediately.
 +
* While priests will be Group healing as much as they can afford to, be prepared to bandage yourself and/or drink major healing pots and eat whipper root tubers.
 +
* Tony will summon a few adds during phase 2. Freezing traps by the healers, druid sleep, sheep, priest fears, warrior intimidating shotus. Anything but DPS - try not to let yourself be distracted from killing Tony for too long.
 +
* Do NOT put DoTs on Tony's summoned tigers.
 +
* After Tony dies, kill any remaining adds.
  
The Blue, Red and Yellow Bijous are used in the Friendly class item quests.
+
<br>
* [http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19708 Blue Hakkari Bijou] - Wrist for [[Mage]], [[Rogue]] and [[Shaman]]
+
== Spider Priestess ==
* [http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19707 Red Hakkari Bijou] - Wrist for [[Paladin]], [[Druid]] and [[Warlock]]
+
===Phase 1===
* [http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19709 Yellow Hakkari Bijou] - Bracers for [[Priest]], [[Hunter]] and [[Warrior]]
+
* Killing the spider adds that the Priestess summons is ALWAYS top priority for DPS. Killed early, they are cake. Fully grown (in a matter of seconds) they are devastating.
 +
* The Speaker will be sheeped on the pull and killed after the first wave of baby spiders - be ready to switch DPS onto a baby spider if it comes while killing the Speaker.
 +
* The priestess has an AoE poison effect. If you don't need to be in range, don't stand near her. If you have to eat the poison, be prepared to cure yourself / bandage out of range when the poison is cured (or stay in range and use healing potions/whipper roots).
 +
* Stay behind the designated offtank in a direct line with him, the preistess, and the MT. Be ready for DPS/healing off at the start of phase 2.
 +
===Phase 2===
 +
* The priestest becomes a giant spider and webs anyone near her - temporarily removing them from the aggro list and reducing their long term aggro.
 +
* When this happens, the designated offtank will taunt/challenging shout/mocking blow to get aggro and start tanking her - moving her back in position.
 +
* DPS is OFF until the big spider is back in position. Healing the old tank should pause as well. Heals to the new tank should try to wait for establishment of aggro - but don't let the new tank die.
 +
* The Webbed tank becomes the offtank, and the offtank is the Main tank for a while.
 +
===Human form after Phase 2===
 +
* The original MT will take over tanking when the spider boss returns to human form. See phase 1 for general strategy.
 +
* She will at some point (less so when DPS is strong) attempt to heal herself via lifetap on someone in the raid (usually but not always the MT).
 +
* The lifetap must be dispelled from her target (by a priest) IMMEDIATELY. You can lose 2 minutes of raid damage in seconds if she lifetaps for too long.
 +
* Rumor has it kick, shield bash, pummel, etc can interrupt as well. Better safe than sorry.
  
The Green, Orange and Purple Bijous are used in the Honored class item quests.
+
<br>
* [http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19711 Green Hakkari Bijou] - Belt for [[Druid]], [[Hunter]] and [[Warrior]]
+
== Snake Priest ==
* [http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19710 Orange Hakkari Bijou] - Shoulders for [[Mage]] and [[Warlock]], Waist for [[Priest]]
+
* Clear the speaker pull out beforehand.
* [http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19712 Purple Hakkari Bijou] - Belt for [[Paladin]] and [[Shaman]], Shoulders for [[Rogue]]
+
===Phase 1===
 +
* CC all but one of the Priest's adds and kill the adds one at a time following the MA.
 +
* Stay spread out and away from the MT's position. The Priest uses either a flamestrike or a holy nova - the nova used on the raid can wipe the raid.
 +
* Melee during phase 1 should not be in Holy Nova range when under 3500 life - move out for heals and/or bandage.
 +
===Phase 2===
 +
* The priest turns into a snake and emits a big poison cloud.
 +
* Immediately move out of the poison cloud (even better back away as he morphs so only the MT eats the first cloud).
 +
* Shamans need to use poison cleansing totems, druids should be spamming Abolish Poison on anyone in melee range.
 +
===20%===
 +
* Around 20% the snake starts hitting a LOT harder - healers should pre-emptively overheal the MT at this stage. Thundercap (from a DPS warrior preferrably) and Hurricane should be re-applied at the 21% mark in anticipation.
 +
* If/When the MT dies at the end, just go full DPS and kite while avoiding the poison clouds.
  
The Metallic Bijous are all used for the Epic/Revered class item quests.  
+
<br>
* [http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19713 Bronze Hakkari Bijou] - Shoulders for [[Priest]], Chest for [[Druid]] and [[Warrior]]
+
== Bat Priestess ==
* [http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19715 Gold Hakkari Bijou] - Chest for [[Paladin]], [[Shaman]] and [[Rogue]]
+
===Phase 1===
* [http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19714 Silver Hakkari Bijou] - Chest for [[Mage]] and [[Warlock]], Shoulders for [[Hunter]]
+
* She will come down in bat form. Standard tank & kill for the most part.
 +
* Healers and AoE classes need to spread out. She has a short range AoE silence that she sometimes does after a random charge.
 +
* She will summon AoE adds - draw them AWAY from her before starting AoE.
 +
* Healers keep the AoE classes alive, but don't totally forget about the MT in the process.
 +
* Try to be ready to fill in as needed if others have been silenced.
 +
===Phase 2===
 +
* She will attempt to heal herself. Interrupt the heals.
 +
* Firebombs will drop from the sky. Continue to stay spread out and move out of the fire as quickly as possible.
 +
* It is possible to see the start of a bomb and hear the bottle break sound and be out of the way before taking any damage.
 +
* Try not to die.

into a larger serpent. On the shape change and every ?? seconds later he "farts" out a posion dmg cloud.

The Ruins of Zul'Gurub is a 20-man raid outdoors instance located in Stranglethorn Vale, directly east from Lake Nazferiti. It ranks in difficultly and quality of rewards below Molten Core, and is challenging but possible for players with gear aquired from Dire Maul, Blackrock Spire, Scholomance, and Stratholme.

Clearing Trash

Use CC. Don't break CC. Use your brain.

  • All pulls will be started well away from the raid - do NOT creep forward unless you are responsible for CC.
  • MT pulls static groups (for initial aggro). Hunters should place freezing traps and mages should sheep non-trapped (or high risk) targets without being asked - work out targets as quickly as possible in /basinZGCC channel.
  • A designated hunter will try to grab small patrols and bring them back to the raid when good pull opportunities present themselves.
  • On non AoE pulls, one dangerous caster target (Priest, Shadow Caster, Witch Doctor) will be killed right away. Any additional casters must be priority CC targets.
  • On AoE pulls, elites will be offtanked or CC'd then non-elites will be AoE'd AWAY from the elites.
  • Watch your position (especially the outer edge of the main path ring). We do NOT pull all the trash and it is possible for static groups to aggro you if you do not remain aware of your surroundings.
  • Face Snakes and Hunter type characters away from the raid - they have Cone AoE type attacks.
  • Axe throwers can have their whirl attacks cut short via sheeping - please do so even if the thrower is the MA's target.

High Priests and Priestesses

Panther Priestess

Start

  • Raid stands by gong. MT stands in the middle closer to the door at start.
  • Two offtanks (hopefully with green whelp armor) stand well into the panther spawn pens.
  • Do NOT attempt to run back into the instance if you die - the door is sealed and you can bug the gong.
  • Do NOT stay feigned/vanished during a wipe or the gong may bug.
  • If you get marked by the priestess, stand as far back into the gong as possible, you have a short range effect that will draw panthers to you. If you are useful, dps may kill panthers that slip through towards you.
  • Panther adds will be offtanked at the edge of each of the side pens. Please stay clear.
  • The shaman in the panther offtanks' group(s) needs to keep a stoneskin totem in range of the offtank at all times.
  • All DPS on the priestess.
  • Additional marked players need to STAY AWAY from the pen areas (the mark has a range - near the doorway or by the gong depending on your range needs).

After First Vanish

  • The Panther Priestess will occasionally vanish - during this period go ahead and kill straggler panthers, assisting the MA. Try to conserve mana / energy / rage for the Priestess' reappearance.
  • Warriors spread out towards the end of the vanish - whoever is closest when the Panther Priestess reappears needs to taunt and tank her until the MT can take over. She must not be attacking healers.
  • When she reappears, she usually does a pretty high damage AoE whirlwind attack. You do NOT want to be clustered up when that happens.

When the Hoodoo hits the fan

  • In case of emergency (offtank druid near death) - mages need to be prepared to frost nova the panther pack before they spread out (work out an order ahead of time). While the pack is frost nova'd a backup offtank warrior can attempt to take over (suggestion: challenging shout->retaliation->defensive stance). All others stay concentrated on the priestess.
  • In case of all hell broken loose - earthbind totems, intitmidating shout, flash bombs & fear.


Tiger Priest (Tony the Tiger)

  • On initial pull, quickly kill non-humanoid adds (Assisting the MA). Try to CC the other adds in a place that the MA can find easily (ex. pull to freezing traps just at the start of the open area.
  • In the following order: Rogue add (stands West/Left of the Priest) to 15%, Priest to 10%, Shaman add (stands East/Right of the Priest) to 15% - bring them together and kill them all. If they die too far apart they will resurrect each other.
  • The MA will call the switches, but use your brain - be prepared to ease up at 18%/13%/18%.
  • The shaman add is worth keeping detect magic up on and purging away lighting shields etc.
  • The humanoid High Priest hits like a truck - keep thunderclap on the priest(and hurricane if it can be spared). Try to get by with just PW:S during the MS debuff - conserving healer mana in phase 1 is important.
  • The rogue and High priest can be tanked together (shared thunderclap & hurricane), but the shaman will heal the others if they are too close.
  • The shaman will attempt to heal himself - interrupt that.

Phase 2

  • Tony will rise from the dead very quickly after the 3 humanoids are dropped in phase 1.
  • Move into the smaller area where the High Priest was before the pull started (but not all the way in the hut - LoS sucks there). Raid on the West/Left, MT (and melee when DPS is on) on the East/Right.
  • DPS (and non-emergency healing) is OFF when Tony is not in position. DPS is ON ~1 second after Tony has returned to position.
  • An offtank will remain with the healers/ranged and taunt tony back to the MT if aggro does not return immediately.
  • While priests will be Group healing as much as they can afford to, be prepared to bandage yourself and/or drink major healing pots and eat whipper root tubers.
  • Tony will summon a few adds during phase 2. Freezing traps by the healers, druid sleep, sheep, priest fears, warrior intimidating shotus. Anything but DPS - try not to let yourself be distracted from killing Tony for too long.
  • Do NOT put DoTs on Tony's summoned tigers.
  • After Tony dies, kill any remaining adds.


Spider Priestess

Phase 1

  • Killing the spider adds that the Priestess summons is ALWAYS top priority for DPS. Killed early, they are cake. Fully grown (in a matter of seconds) they are devastating.
  • The Speaker will be sheeped on the pull and killed after the first wave of baby spiders - be ready to switch DPS onto a baby spider if it comes while killing the Speaker.
  • The priestess has an AoE poison effect. If you don't need to be in range, don't stand near her. If you have to eat the poison, be prepared to cure yourself / bandage out of range when the poison is cured (or stay in range and use healing potions/whipper roots).
  • Stay behind the designated offtank in a direct line with him, the preistess, and the MT. Be ready for DPS/healing off at the start of phase 2.

Phase 2

  • The priestest becomes a giant spider and webs anyone near her - temporarily removing them from the aggro list and reducing their long term aggro.
  • When this happens, the designated offtank will taunt/challenging shout/mocking blow to get aggro and start tanking her - moving her back in position.
  • DPS is OFF until the big spider is back in position. Healing the old tank should pause as well. Heals to the new tank should try to wait for establishment of aggro - but don't let the new tank die.
  • The Webbed tank becomes the offtank, and the offtank is the Main tank for a while.

Human form after Phase 2

  • The original MT will take over tanking when the spider boss returns to human form. See phase 1 for general strategy.
  • She will at some point (less so when DPS is strong) attempt to heal herself via lifetap on someone in the raid (usually but not always the MT).
  • The lifetap must be dispelled from her target (by a priest) IMMEDIATELY. You can lose 2 minutes of raid damage in seconds if she lifetaps for too long.
  • Rumor has it kick, shield bash, pummel, etc can interrupt as well. Better safe than sorry.


Snake Priest

  • Clear the speaker pull out beforehand.

Phase 1

  • CC all but one of the Priest's adds and kill the adds one at a time following the MA.
  • Stay spread out and away from the MT's position. The Priest uses either a flamestrike or a holy nova - the nova used on the raid can wipe the raid.
  • Melee during phase 1 should not be in Holy Nova range when under 3500 life - move out for heals and/or bandage.

Phase 2

  • The priest turns into a snake and emits a big poison cloud.
  • Immediately move out of the poison cloud (even better back away as he morphs so only the MT eats the first cloud).
  • Shamans need to use poison cleansing totems, druids should be spamming Abolish Poison on anyone in melee range.

20%

  • Around 20% the snake starts hitting a LOT harder - healers should pre-emptively overheal the MT at this stage. Thundercap (from a DPS warrior preferrably) and Hurricane should be re-applied at the 21% mark in anticipation.
  • If/When the MT dies at the end, just go full DPS and kite while avoiding the poison clouds.


Bat Priestess

Phase 1

  • She will come down in bat form. Standard tank & kill for the most part.
  • Healers and AoE classes need to spread out. She has a short range AoE silence that she sometimes does after a random charge.
  • She will summon AoE adds - draw them AWAY from her before starting AoE.
  • Healers keep the AoE classes alive, but don't totally forget about the MT in the process.
  • Try to be ready to fill in as needed if others have been silenced.

Phase 2

  • She will attempt to heal herself. Interrupt the heals.
  • Firebombs will drop from the sky. Continue to stay spread out and move out of the fire as quickly as possible.
  • It is possible to see the start of a bomb and hear the bottle break sound and be out of the way before taking any damage.
  • Try not to die.
