Success in Stratholme!!!

Well I decided to try to complete Caeden's Epic Mount quest at level 65 and I was able to do it!!! Let me tell you, Stratholme is one tough instance! It was just Caeden & Iltria and the toughest part was getting to the quest area, not completing the quest itself. Clearing my way through to Aurius (the npc I needed to fight) was really rough. Since all the mobs were undead, I really didn't have any crowd control abilities, so I was fighting 5 to 6 at a time. Only 2 of the 6 mobs were elite, so it wasn't too bad, but there were very powerful elites patrolling the corridors and they made life difficult. These elites, as well Magistrate Barthilas, had a punting ability that would wipe out all aggro. This ability was really frustrating because Iltria would get pummeled & if the punting happened more then 2 times in the course of a fight, Caeden wasn't able to regain aggro. So Iltria died a number of times. Killing Magistrate Barthilas was the toughest part of doing this quest. Iltria died during the course of the fight and Caeden only had a couple of hundred hitpoints left when he landed the killing blow. Caeden also had to use Divine Shield and Lay on Hands during the fight. The actual quest fight was quite easy in comparison and I had no problems completing it. So Caeden has his epic horse & I bought Iltria her epic wolf! I feel really good about this accomplishment!!!
