Charger QuestFollow

Probably... I think you guys might be able to do it if you're the healer and hes killing everything.

I'm in your shoes too, having finished Dire Maul last week and getting an almost 100% clear of Scholomance. The "almost 100% clear" = killing everybody but the Death Knight Darkreaver. While you two can manage Dire Maul without any trouble, I think you will want to have a bigger group for Scholomance. Your duo will be able to tackle every boss in the instance smoothly, but you essentially only get one shot at the Darkreaver sequence.

If you don't kill him and the preceding waves of ghosts on the first try (see the FAQ), you will need to go back to Stormwind to get a new divination scryer and you will need to reset the instance because the hallway to his room locks after you've reached it. You might want to raise your odds of success by picking up a DPS or ideally another pally, just so you don't have to explain this all to your warrior friend.

YES!!!!!....but you'll need a good strategy.

Well - the Strat part will be pretty hard. Just pull very carefully. And hopefully one of you is a dwarf so you can tell which crates to go after.

For DM - you can do it. Pretty straight forward. Just remember to clear ALL the walking pats first (the big trees that walk around the courtyard). They can easily ambush you.

For the Scholo final fight - make sure to stay in one corner, and place the Divination Scryer in the position furthest from that corner that you can. Then, ALWAYS pull the mobs into that corner, resting between pulls. If you follow that strategy, you may just make it through :)

Again, it can't be stressed enough, take time to rest when you can between pulls. Don't go running off with 1/2 health and mana just becuase there is only 1 mob. Be patient, and keep yourself topped off so you don't get caught off guard by new mobs.

Finally - just remember that when you kill the mini boss of each wave, that will spawn the next wave (I think). So if you can, use Seal of Wisdom for mana regen on that last mini boss of each wave. That will help.

And of course, follow the FAQ for seal sequence. Good luck, and tell us how it went :)

Dire Maul is the easiest.

However, if neither of you have the key, you either have to run Dire Maul East for the key, or do the die/rez on other side of door thing.

Here's a very fast walkthrough for the DM East:

You enter instance.
Kill first mobs in entrance hallway.
The next area will be a large courtyard. Big tree mobs will be walking around the perimeter in a clockwise direction. They can be pulled one at a time (mostly). Pull them into the entrance hallway. The reason for this is that if you don't kill the one you are fighting quick enough, you can easily get ganged up by many many many of them. This will result in a wipe.

NOTE: Wipes aren't too bad since graveyard is really close.

If you look to the right (from the entrance hallway into the courtyard), and you don't see any wandering tree mobs (there will be some stationary ones that you can ignore), make a break for it. Go straight out of the hallway and run around the courtyard in a clockwise direction.

NOTE: You don't need to go into center area of courtyard.

When you reach the opposite side (from entrance hallway), an opening will lead you into another large room. The boss you need to kill is in here. Kill him, and give your "feed" and "barding" to the horse spirit.

Hearth.

Done.

Edit - I forgot to mention - another good thing is to ensure you use elixirs and scrolls for buffs on the Scholo final fight. Also, time your potions well so you can use a few of them if necessary. This is really an endurance fight.

ha ha ha. Just be happy we don't have Pally specific flying mounts and epic flying mounts...

Oh, I forgot to mention - in Dire Maul - opposite the entrance hallway, there are multiple openings to adjacent rooms. Go in the middle one. You will be able to see the named mob from the Courtyard. If you start fighting undead (spirit/ghostly things), then you've taken a wrong path.

Have fun with it!!

Very informative Spicy, thanks. And welcome to the forums. I'm a newcomer myself, only been posting here about 2 weeks. I must have spent 6 months just reading before I actually posted anything.

its even better when your DI someone in town who doesnt know they can cancel the buff . . or even know about that power.

first they laugh at the fact that you just died, then they get all nervous when they cant even move or do anything. . . good times.

also DI doesnt cost you any durability.

I just wanted to thank everyone again with all of the help on this thread. I got my Charger on saturday and it was a hell of a lot easier than I had hoped.

Just in case any of my fellow paladins are considering duo'ing or even soloing these quests...here is a brief summary of my experience running the dungeons with a 68 paly and 68 warrior.

DM: Piece of cake. Easily able to thread our way through the various mobs and take out the boss and his buddies. Not much of a challenge for such high levels.

Strat: Getting the holy waters was a bit of a pain. It was pretty easy to sneak by all of the big groups or to just wade in and kill them. The only problem was the occassional "gargoyle surprise" which resulted in 2 wipes. The damn things would jump us in the middle of a fight and then proceed to multiply to a point where I couldn't out heal their damage. Keep your eyes open and give them a wide berth.

Scholo: Simple to sneak by or kill most mobs all the way to Rattlegore. Dropping him was no sweat. The first couple waves of quest ghosts were laughable. The third wave wiped us because we got overconfident and stood in the middle of the room (ignoring everyone's advice and the wowwiki walk-thru). Got swamped and I couldn't keep up with heals. After resetting we stayed in the corner and had no issues. I actually enjoyed this fight quite a bit the second time around.

I love my new charger and it I think it was well worth the time and effort involved in getting it. Good luck to all of you out there who still have yet to finish the quest line. Don't give up :-)

I hope this doesn't sound like a stupid question because I've looked everyone and I never saw anyone ask this question.

I just hit 60 a while ago and I really HATE instances. However I do want to get my epic mount because the increased speed will really help in BG's and such. However I really would prefer to just pay for the training and farm the gold for it by mining. Can Paladins just buy the training or do we have to quest it?

Thanks!

Both. You can either get it from the quest, or you can just buy it off the trainer.

In which case, should you do the quest, you won't get the riding skill with it; so you'll be doing the quest solely for the charger.

Which is still pretty cool for completeness +1 and inventory space -1.

scholomance can be easily done with multiple paladins actually.

since being mostly undead, smite/holy wrath spam ftw, the tank should always have absolute agro, and nobody will(should) die.

but..you, another paladin and your war friend should be more than enough for the quest part in scholo.

so yes it is doable. :)
