Oh, yeah, WoW question

Of 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.

I haven't been a low level hunter in over a year, but I'm wondering why you can pull aggro so fast if you Mend Pet. Could you perhaps put Elder on the Houndmaster, Mend Pet, then Feign Death so that he's being healed and the hounds will change their mind about who to go to? You can, of course, drop a Freezing Trap before FD that way you lower the amount of hyenas poor Elder has on him. What I would normally do is put my pet on the elite first so they would be first on aggro, then put them on a nonelite so I could pewpew it down and they would still have aggro on it - if not, Mend Pet, and re-Feign.

I hope that made sense...I just woke up and I think I'm rambling xD

I tried that, but still got two hounds on my case (they'll run at me as soon as the Master shouts 'release the hounds!' once Elder attacks him). My solution to that was to run to where the master and the other hound was (since I can't Mend Pet past the wall, and the two hounds are too much for me to handle on my own), volley until my own health got critical, Mend Pet and then FD'd. The problem is that it's such a small area, that as soon as I pop up to Mend Pet again, they're right there, so it's a little hard to miss the suddenly alive again hunter, and I get munched.
