How to Run a Dungeon in WoW

Five-man dungeons are famous for going extremely well or dreadfully wrong. A botched instance is one of the worst places to be in World of Warcraft. You can improve your chances of making it to that final boss, however, if your group knows what must be done.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

1. Start looking for others. To do this you can use Warcraft's "Looking for Group" feature, invite friends or utilize the trade channel and ask if anyone is interested in coming along.
2. Compose your group wisely. The typical group should have at least 1 healer, 1 tank and 3 damage per second (DPS) units. Tanks are usually warriors, druids in bear-form or paladins, due to their superior armor. Healers can be druids, priests, paladins or shaman depending on their specs.
3. Go slowly. Running an instance full speed in Warcraft can make an easy run tricky. Instead of hoping for the best, aggro as few mobs as possible and crowd control where you can. This can prevent a wipe or at least save your healer some mana.
4. Always wait for patrols. If they come upon you in the middle of a fight, you will be hard pressed to defend against the extra wave of fighters.
5. Use "Area of Effect" spells (AOE's) sparingly. Use regular spells for normal pulls, so you don't draw aggro.

Tips & Warnings

• Running an instance has a better chance of success if you invite people you know; their skill level is known and they are unlikely to "ninja" loot.
• When planning your team, it helps if one dps is capable of off-healing, or if the dps has crowd-control.
• There are times when AOE's should be used. These include when your healer is out of mana and there are still many mobs, during a boss fight to take out adds, or when there are far too many to effectively tank and crowd control.
