Attempted this with a Protection warrior (me), MC/BWL-geared mage and warlock, a priest and a not-so-great paladin. There should be no breaks - constant pulling and fighting is required. We got through the gauntlet with about 10 minutes left, and it took about 15 minutes to clear the abominations, Rammstein, the skeleton spawns, and Baron. So aim to start pulling the abominations with 15 minutes left and if you keep the pace up pulling them you should be good.

This is the infamous "45-minute Strat" run that many have tried and few have beaten. It's part of the Dungeon Set 2 (Tier 0.5) upgrade quest chain, so it's appropriately difficult.

In order to pull this off successfully, you need to know how to cut the right corners:

1. you do not need (or want) to pull every group of mobs that you would normally pull on a Strat dead run. Walk around every group you possibly can. Battle the fewest number of enemies possible.

2. do not loot anything (except - maybe! - for the minibosses). You do not have the time to roll for random greens, but more importantly, if it takes you 3s to loot a mob and you loot 100 over the course of the run, that's 5 full minutes used. The timer is too tight to justify 5 minutes of looting.

3. start the next pull before the current mob is dead. The DPS players (specifically rogues and hunters) should basically have no downtime throughout the run. The only breaks you should take are for the casters to drink up, and even then you should only drop out of combat long enough for them to start.

4. most importantly and most obviously, remember to concentrate your firepower on a single target before moving onto the next one. That actually applies to every group, but people seem to forget easily.

Unfortunately a good part of this run is luck. With that said, best of luck to you. :)

What happens after this quest? :S is it another quest or what?

Speculative strategy - use warlock ss and pally/shaman DI to do 2 separate death runs to cut through even more mobs.

I've attached a map (edited from the maps already posted in this thread) with my suggested route of where you would run through mobs and then soulstone or DI to cut down on time.

Since it's so hard for me to get a group together for this quest on my server, if anyone tries this method - please respond on this site with how/if it works and how much time was saved.
Thank you.

Dead Man's Plea

Go into Stratholme and rescue Ysida Harmon from Baron Rivendare.

Description

I'll provide you the information you ask for, <name>. But more pressing matters are at hand.

My beloved wife has been taken prisoner by Rivendare's undead scum.

I strongly objected to her joining the Argent Dawn's foolish crusade, yet that's not of importance anymore. You must finish what I attempted to do, you must rescue Ysida from the clutches of the Baron!
