Akil'zon trash

Just noticed they put some info up on wowwiki about the Akil'zon trash. I found this paragraph in particular to be interesting. Using the above information, the Gauntlet event can be completely bypassed and only the 4 elite trolls will remain. Before engaging the lookout, have either a Hunter or Rogue stand at the top of the hill, just in view of the lookout. The rest of the group then engages the lookout and awaits for the eagles and warriors to come. Once the warriors spawn, have your rogue or hunter engage them before they reach the group and then immediately drop aggro by either vanishing or using feign death. The eagles and warriors will then run away and despawn, causing the event to reset. The lookout will run up the hill to restart the Gauntlet however, no more eagles will spawn, and your group is free to individually pull the 4 pairs of trolls without having to worry about the eagles and warriors. This strategy is much like the one used in the Slave Pens to reset the Naga when Naturalist Bite is freed and has been proven to work on patch 2.3.0.

We should really try this--sounds amazingly easy if it will work

I ran ZA with Unison last Friday cuz I was bored.I had suggested this trick as per WoWWiki, and they aggreed to give it a shot. His feign death was resisted twice. Poor little hunter of theirs got pwned.They did not seem to want to try it again, so I still don't know if it works or not.We succeeded in clearing the "gauntlet" twice just by taking it slow, and progressivly working our way up. Twice cuz we wiped a few times on the bird boss, and the gauntlet "trash" does infact respawn after some time.There was also another trick of someone running up and aggoing the end dude, but that's also quite hard as you will have to deal with at least 6 of the elites bashing on you before you can get close to him.Well, just to throw out some notes and past experiences. I'm willing to keep trying to find a better method, cuz that gauntlet really is horrid.
