This is one in a series of posts covering a WotLK 5-mans – from a Tank’s Point of View
Wrath given us many new instances, many with new mechanics, but you can always count on the Caverns of Time for unique encounters. From the very same Bronze Dragonflight that brought us ‘Jogging between portals in [...]

WotLK: The Culling of Stratholme
December 12, 2008WotLK: Halls of Lightning
December 9, 2008This is one in a series of posts covering a WotLK 5-mans – from a Tank’s Point of View
Halls of Lightning is one of the four level 80 instances. All these instances seem to be tuned around a reasonably balanced, reasonably geared group of level 80s. If your group is above that baseline, then you [...]
WotLK: Halls of Stone
December 3, 2008This is one in a series of posts covering a WotLK 5-mans – from a Tank’s Point of View
Situated in northern Storm Peaks, Halls of Stone is the final ‘pre-80′ instance, and is tuned for groups at level 77.
Following Gun’Drak, this is another fun instance with a unique feel. Upon entering you will need [...]
WotLK: Gun’Drak
November 29, 2008This is one in a series of posts covering a WotLK 5-mans – from a Tank’s Point of View
Gun’Drak is perhaps my favorite leveling instance. The zone design, the bosses, variety and the pacing all come together to make me very happy.
There are two quests nearby (just to the north, on a ledge) that [...]
WotLK: The Violet Hold
November 28, 2008This is one in a series of posts covering a WotLK 5-mans – from a Tank’s Point of View
Violet Hold sits in Dalaran, and is intended for characters around level 75. Since it is in the city, most people won’t have trouble getting there – however, you do need to pay attention to that. There [...]
WotLK: Drak’Tharon Keep
November 24, 2008This is one in a series of posts covering a WotLK 5-mans – from a Tank’s Point of View
Drak’Tharon sits on the border of Zul’Drak and the Grizzly Hills, this instance tuned for levels 74 to 76 is one of the longer leveling instances – however, that is not saying much.
The trash comes mostly [...]
WotLK: Ahn’kahet – The Old Kingdom
November 21, 2008This is one in a series of posts covering a WotLK 5-mans – from a Tank’s Point of View
Sitting very close to the Azjol-Nerub 5-man is Ahn’kahet: The Old Kingdom. Where Azjol-Nerub is concentrated awesomeness, Ahn’kahet is amazing in it’s size. No tiny passages and small rooms here, this is pace is huge. [...]
WotLK: Azjol-Narub
November 17, 2008This is one in a series of posts covering a WotLK 5-mans – from a Tank’s Point of View
Azjol-Narub is the shortest of the Northrend 5-man instances. I would suggest level 71 as a fair minimum for heading in, as lower level toons can make it through, but will suffer a lot of [...]
WotLK: The Nexus
November 16, 2008This is one in a series of posts covering a WotLK 5-mans – from a Tank’s Point of View
The Nexus sits in the middle of Coldera Island in northwest Borean Tundra. The only way out to the island is a dragon flight from a camp just southeast of the island. Once you get [...]
WotLK: Utgarde Keep
November 12, 2008This is one in a series of posts covering a WotLK 5-mans – from a Tank’s Point of View
For many people, Utgarde Keep will be the first instance they run upon hitting the shores of Northrend. It is the easiest to get to, and none of the quests have any prerequisites. It sits [...]
