Houndmaster Loksey — Kennel Keeper

Houndmaster Loksey is the first boss of the Library wing, commander of the Scarlet war hounds. He stands in the passage to the archive and enters combat with two Scarlet hounds, which should be removed first.

Tactics

  • Handle the hounds first: AoE them down or CC them (trap/fear) so you don't split damage or

overload the tank.

  • Loksey casts Bloodlust on himself — a sharp attack-speed boost; the healer should raise healing on

the tank while the group burns the boss.

  • Keep the boss facing away from the group: he hits noticeably hard for levels 32–36.

Great ranged weapons while leveling — especially for a hunter.

Tips for WoW Classic x5

  1. The Library is a short wing; Loksey and Doan farm in a couple minutes.
  2. CC on the hounds saves the healer's mana and the tank's health.
  3. On x5 Loksey's weapons pay off fast in XP — enter from level 30.
