silverthorneOf course, Geekie ran me through the Scarlet Monestary (all of it) before I actually got the quest (which I now have), but I've gone back a few times to try it. So far, I've only managed to clear the one wing up to the Houndmaster (Haven't even bothered with the other wings yet), once while the quest was yellow, and again yesterday when it was green. I'm having a hell of a time trying to figure out how to get those damned hyenas to come at us, preferably only one or two at a time, before we go after the Houndsmaster himself.
It usually ends up that my pet ends up by the master and one hyena, and the other two come after me, so I end up running into the fray so that I can volley the hell out of everything. Problem being is that in that little alcove, there's no room to back up and use my bow (MUCH better damage with my bow) and the other more destrutive abilities, and I can feign death and let Elder take the brunt of it (he can down two and a half all by himself before it gets ugly. I'm so proud of him. :) ), but of course, as soon as I pop up to Mend Pet him, I get attacked again, and it goes to hell from there.
I don't have any set rotation (no macros), and staying out of range also requires being 'out of sight' in regards to using Mend Pet on Elder, so staying out of the little enclosure isn't an option thanks to that stupid wall. I know the easiest solution is 'wait until it's grey for you', or, alternatively, 'Just pug it!', but I'd like to do it on my own...preferably when it's 'in range' for me.

Yeah, if that wall wasn't there, I could stay out on the green (I've got a very nice bow range, TYVM :D ), FD each time the hounds came after me and then be healer to Elder's tank, with the occasional Hunters Mark and Pew Pew to help out.
But...there's that wall. Only other thing I can think to do is to draw them to me out on the green, keep Elder on passive until they're where I can see them and there's room to back away and still keep track of them all and then set him lose on them and back off once he's got the aggro.
