Part 1 - Beginning the Quest
NOTE: As of Feb. 28th 2015, this step is NO LONGER BUGGED. You no longer need to have it charmed. Just hail it (assuming you have enough faction).
Part 10 - The Final Steps
(YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE MAX ALLY FOR TEAR TURN IN) 10/23/18 Found out by Nynaevea - reconfirmed this on 11/1/2018 - Burtmacklin turned in Tear at Ally faction and received scale while not at max ally. Became max ally from the turn in and looted the scale after Rak's death.)
However, if Rak'Ashiir is already up you you can do this encounter with as little as 4 other people - one rogue to open the castle door, one magician, and two clerics, levels 60-65. However, the more people, the better. Lord Rak'Ashiir casts a 2000 HP area affect spell which can be very mean. The recommended stragegy is to use one or more magician level 49 fire pets. The reason to use the level 49 fire pet and not higher level pets is because this pet has a very high innate fire resistance and will not be effected by the area effect spell.
- Buff the fire pet(s) up with a full set of buffs.
- Park the pet(s) around Rak'Ashiir.
- Make sure everyone is hidden behind walls or far enough away so they are not effected by the area effect spell.
- Hand in your tear. There is a good chance of you dying. Heal yourself and try to let the fire pets taunt Rak'Ashiir.
It is best for the rogue and other melee (if any) to stay with the casters until late in the fight. Sometimes you might get adds and the melee's can take care of the problem without interupting the clerics. Let melee engage more so towards the end of the fight, so if they die to the area effect spell it wont be so devastating.
Per (a mis-linked) forum thread a fire pet in fact can not tank Lord Rak'Ashiir.
