THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

I'm bored out of my mind and silly. Ignore this plz.

= Tactical Guide to 2manning Dar'Khan Drathir =

With a 21 Affliction Warlock and 20 Prot Paladin

Dar'Khan is located in the Tower of the Damned, at the center of Deatholme in Ghostlands.

Phase 1 - Preparations
First of all, kill all the trash in the Tower of the Damned - kill the shades at the entrance, the Wailer inside and both the Necromancers before the chamber with Dar'Khan. This is very important so they don't add while you are fighting Dar'Khan or get feared. Just one add in the fight will mean a wipe.

Phase 2 - Necromancers
Now, have the Paladin pull one of the Necromancers next to Dar'Khan in his chamber. Dar'Khan won't aggro from this. Since they are casters, merely step aside from the entrance so LoS is blocked by the wall. They'll come running to you and the Paladin will be able to melee them at a safe distance from Dar'Khan.

Repeat procedure for the second Necro.

Phase 3 - Dar'Khan
Note: I can only describe this from the Warlock's PoV, as I had no fucking idea what the Paladin was actually doing. I assume tanking alongside my Void and spamming some skills. In any case he did not use his Sunwell Blade DoT on Dar'Khan because he moved while channeling. Just goes to show you how pr0 we really are.

You absolutely must have Soulstone on the Paladin in case anything goes wrong, and both should have healthstones and potions for emergency. You will need them.

The Warlock should now send his Voidwalker to engage Dar'Khan, before the Paladin also attacks and does... his paladiny things. Activate Amplify Curse and DoT Dar'Khan up. Now, use your Sunwell Blade on him. After the channel is through, reapply curses as necessary. The Paladin and Void should keep aggro off you effectively enough. Now, I used Drain Soul on him instead of Shadowbolt, because I, uh... well I just did. Drain Soul actually does quite a lot of damage, Shadowbolt might have done more, but it also drains your mana very quickly at that level, and Life Tapping is not really an option here. Geez, I think I even shot at him with my wand at some point. Avoid that. Anyway, whatever you do, do a lot of damage to him. I didn't try to use fear on him, but I think that's pretty pointless anyway.

At some point he will fear you. This doesn't have to bother you much, however, since in Phase 1 you cleaned all the trash from the building, and they won't have respawned yet. I don't know about the Fear resetting aggro, but I remember continuing the fight pretty much unchanged except for reversed positioning due to being feared. Your Void will probably get aggro with Torment, anyway.

When your Void gets close to dying, which he most likely will, sacrifice him. It's a waste of Shard to just let him die, and should you have aggro or anything, the shield from Sacrifice will protect you long enough to finish Dar'Khan off.

Congratulations, you have downed Dar'Khan with 2 ppl.

Now you can loot his head and gloat over the fact you two-manned him, even though it says it's a group quest! Also, you'll get a Blue! Yay.
