Common places for people to set up camp are at M (M is done almost all of the time) and G as the cross-shaped hallway is beneficial for confirming clean or dirty pulls before tagging. There are named mobs that spawn here, but they very long respawn times so it's unlikely they will pop while you are doing HoT. The one-way wall near K is good for splitting pulls since mobs cannot see through it, but can be pulled through it.

'''Location 2''' - This area allows for easier use of pets, you pin it up against the closer wall which allows for people to camp in the same spot as #1 or you can sit just around the corner from this mob tanking spot. Pin it against the wall with push and it allows for melee to quickly go in and out of combat without having to move much. Pet classes can stand in the corner in the exit room closest to the mob and use [[Summon Companion]] to pet the pet slightly in the wall and able to attack the mob through the wall while avoiding AEs.

'''Location 2''' - This area allows for easier use of pets, you pin it up against the closer wall which allows for people to camp in the same spot as #1 or you can sit just around the corner from this mob tanking spot. Pin it against the wall with push and it allows for melee to quickly go in and out of combat without having to move much. Pet classes can stand in the corner in the exit room closest to the mob and use [[Summon Companion]] to put the pet slightly in the wall and able to attack the mob through the wall while avoiding AEs.

'''TODO:''' Someone add some more information that has actually tanked mobs in either spot.

An ancient frost guardian.png
 an ancient frost guardian • Wave of Cold - 350 Cold Damage PBAOE
• Casts Upheaval, Complete Heal, and Gate) 		Slow it. Sieve it.

Use Druid's Circle of Summer to boost CR and Enchanters can use Mana Sieve to make it go out of mana causing it to cast less offensive spells and then it won't Complete Heal or Gate. Alternatively, you can burn it down at 20% life in a few seconds. Tank it outside of the line of sight of healers. This mob has a huge hit box, so you can stand very far away to avoid Upheaval (except for the tank).

This mob casts a targeted AOE dispel on the MT. Others can avoid the dispel if they fight as far away from the MT as possible since the AOE range is not big. If it's a Ranger you can kill it normally, but if it's a Druid then you will want to have Enchanters cast Mana Sieve on it so it can't Gate.

Pulling

Common places for people to set up camp are at M (M is done almost all of the time) and G as the cross-shaped hallway is beneficial for confirming clean or dirty pulls before tagging. There are named mobs that spawn here, but they very long respawn times so it's unlikely they will pop while you are doing HoT. The one-way wall near K is good for splitting pulls since mobs cannot see through it, but can be pulled through it.


Tanking

There are generally two spots that people like to tank mobs at camp M with different advantages to the both.

Hot-tanking-spots.png


Location 1 - This is the more common spot as it allows you to setup everyone behind the door in the exit room when not engaged on a mob. When a mob is brought in, the tank engages and everyone can pin it against this wall without issues. You should be able to be in range of a CH chain as well as casters from behind the door.

Location 2 - This area allows for easier use of pets, you pin it up against the closer wall which allows for people to camp in the same spot as #1 or you can sit just around the corner from this mob tanking spot. Pin it against the wall with push and it allows for melee to quickly go in and out of combat without having to move much. Pet classes can stand in the corner in the exit room closest to the mob and use Summon Companion to put the pet slightly in the wall and able to attack the mob through the wall while avoiding AEs.
