This instance is SO buggy. It makes me so frustrated in finding groups to go and clear for a few quests. Groups fall fast and I just get more and more frustrated. /rant

A month ago, was tanking final boss with crappy gear and lot of wipes when finally, we seems to hold it in a good way (Last stand/ Heal pot/ Warlock heal stone/ Warlock rez stone/ cooking stamina buff/ Armor pot / ...), boss is at 30% when suddenly ...

(On a more serious note, suspect hunter FD as cause of the spawn)

I did it a couple of days ago and I didn't find it difficult at all. We did wipe like 4 or 5 times, but those were really our own mistakes.

wiping 4 or 5 times isn't normal for a dungeon, that is what you'd call a bad run.

I've seen this before, I was pugging it with some Chinese players, we wiped once before killing last boss & then waiting for a dead guy to run back who needed a quest item off the boss. Before he made it back we got a large group of Skeletons etc. run in & overwhelm us. Not sure if it was triggered or if it just happens after some time has passed.

That's odd. Ran it 4 times, didn't wipe once. One dps would die sometimes but that was the worst it had gotten for me. What bugs are you talking about?

Live Strat is a difficult dungeon. If you lack CC it becomes that much harder for your average pug group. As for the skeles, that is not a bug. They are supposed to spawn after you clear far enough into Live and after you kill the last boss.

As throe said the skellies are not a bug they spawn on a timer. There are also a number of "triggers" that spawn elite crimson guards that if your not familiar with spawn right ontop of the healer lol.
Keep in mind this is the original version of starth live, they nerfed the hell out of it because its probably the hardest 5 man.
The only thing that maybe bugged is two things on the final boss. He attacks the tank while stunned for his transformation (im not sure if bliz changed this but i thought the stun was the same length of time as his transformation so he didnt attack a stunned tank) and he uses his cc on the tank. However theres so little info on the original version of dungeons these could both be as intended.
Either way this dungeon is hard and not that bugged. You cant expect to roflstomp it like its a retail 5 man. If your wiping its bad group comp (u must have some form of cc) or bad play.
