Be sure that when you click the coffin to absorb the spirit you FD or stand out of the aggro range right after that. Reason for being is sometimes,  You will absorb the spirit come out 100% HP/100% Power,  Recently though, I have been noticing a bug where you absorb the spirit and then have 10%HP (or so) & 10% Power.  Its a bug where it doesn't instantly give you full HP&Power you keep what you started with and have to sit there and wait for a regen.<BR><BR>If thats whats happening to you, problem solved.<BR><BR> <DIV>If not, I can remember a time where you have to be extremely careful in harclaves.  Anymore than one group or something per-pull and you had to FD right away because you wouldn't make it through it.   At higher levels (Currently I'm 45) I can pull 2-3 groups and make it out okay.<BR><BR>It will get easier as your Bruiser levels up, I can make it in and out of harclaves (clearing every single mob) in an hour and 15minutes now. Where as before, 2hours 30minutes (at your level).<BR><BR>Goodluck, Things will get easier.<BR></DIV>

I just beat it easily last night at level 25. Collassal is right - there appears to be a bug with your health/power pools filling up when you first get the buff.  I've found that it usually doesn't happen if you are healed to 100% health/power before clicking on the ark. Either way, I've still come out on top when the bug affects me and I'm forced to fight at 30%.  First of all, make sure you are against the back wall, NOT near the ledge, when you accept the buff.  Otherwise, you'll grab a ton of aggro when the zone repops.  At the back wall, you'll only have to deal with the one group up top. Try switching your stance if you're still having trouble.  I usually go Offensive, though Defensive works just as well. One thing to remember, with the Harclave buff, your auto-attack damage is going to be worth much more than most of your skills.  Don't waste time hitting your 50-80 dmg combat arts.  You'll probably lower your DPS by using them.  Instead, just use your BIG hits when you can. If you're running into trouble, FD <i>early on</i> so you can cancel and attempt it a few times if need be. One of the most important keys to defeating the Splitpaw gnoll groups is knowing which order to kill them in.  What works for me?  Killing healers, then mages, then scouts, then fighters.  They're distinguishable by name... Nisch = Healer Rosch = Mage Lisch = Scout Tesch = Fighter Hope that helps some. <div></div>
