To use the bonds: Cast Protective Bond from the prot monk first. Then have the other two heroes cast Protective Bond. Then cast all bonds from right to left on the intended target. Make sure to have the bonds deactivated by shift clicking on them so that the heroes do not cancel them.

Avoid having the quest "The False Gods" active. Start from the Temple of Ages in Hard mode. Avoid the first group by going right, heading to the Talmark Wilderness. There will be some SS necros who are very annoying and some pop up Aloes with Signet of Judgment along the way. Fight or run with your party to Talmark Wilderness.

In Talmark Wilderness, fight your way through the Ancient Oakhearts and Fog Nightmares until you get to the area with many imps. Bond yourself with all the bonds. Flag your party back about one aggro bubble away. Take on as many imps as you feel comfortable with. You should have +7 regen to counter out their burning and be taking minimal damage. Use your self heal if you get below about half health. Do not fight near the res shrine and have that swarming with imps if a party wipe occurs. Fight the rest of the way through to Majesty's Rest.

In Majesty's Rest, there is a group that will pop up. Call targets on the Fog Nightmares. If you are concerned about party wipes and 60% dp, have your prot monk flagged back. They will not be helping out too much anyway. Proceed to the temple where Rotscale resides. Watch out for reed stalker pop ups in the poisoned water. Pull the two Wraiths at the bridge to the party and dispatch them. Pull the two Wraiths at the end of the bridge to the party. Bond up the SV Necro. The undead bowmen are not part of Rotscales group. If they are separate, go ahead and pick them off one at a time. If they are mixed in with Rotscale's group, then target the Damned Clerics first. The Clerics will rush down the stairs to get at your party, call one of them as targets and wear them down. Pick off the other rangers first. Once they are all dead, focus your attention on Rotscale. Flag your SV at the base of the stairs. This will poison the hero giving them a chance to pass that condition on to Rotscale, fueling Angorodon's Gaze for energy management.
