Houndmaster Loksey
Nothing special here, just make sure to have enough mana before engaging the boss and kill off his hounds with chain lightning.
I got the dog whistle off him for 3 of my chars. Now I just have to decide whom to scare off with my new pack...
Arcanist Doan
This is the first fight that requires something different than the usual nuke strategy. He only casts AoE spells, so grounding totem is useless here. Additionally, he is able to silence and has an invulnerability bubble (that one alone prevents nuking if you don't happen to oneshot him). Just going in and standing in one place is a safe way to meet your ancestors.
A strategy that works would be to place one shaman each into every corner of th
e room before and pull him out with the main. That way it will take a little time for him to run towards the one who has aggro and also will prevent him to cast silence on your whole team. At some point during the fight he will bubble and immediately begin to cast his Detonation spell which does massive damage. He might even kill one of your chars if it was not on full health. But don't worry, just throw out a group heal and continue burning him down.His cloth drops are not really interesting, they are ok if you don't have anything else, but the chest from Razorfen Kraul and shoulders from the Graveyard are better in my opinion due to the amount of spell crit.
His weapon drops, on the other hand, are really, really nice. I farmed both the staff for normal questing and the dagger for instance runs.
He has a low chance of dropping the first epic item (level wise) in the game. A ring that is mostly suited for twink pvp. Unfortunately, I didn't see it drop on any of my runs.
Also, don't forget to loot the Scarlet key from the chest in his room. It's needed to enter the Armory, Cathedral and, at later levels, also the living part of Stratholme.
