"soloable" contentFollow

I think they changed the Ulda boss to not require more than one person now?

Garr, yes..

When it comes to soloing old content you really want to get a response from Ialaman.. since that's his thing. Even then, tank specs have soloed the majority of bosses in ZG. I can solo Kara up to Curator. People have even been able to solo one of the World-Boss dragons.

A level 80 tank/healer pair should easily be able to handle the vast majority of old world stuff and a good chunk of TBC stuff. Doomwalker is duoable with pretty much any tank/healer pair.

I would suggest a map or guide for BRD. Its such a large instance with countless bosses and hallways that its nigh on impossible to find your way to Thaurissian the first time. I believe you need a key to unlock part of the way too, not to mention the bit with the respawning adds and torches just before Thaurissian (Reminds me of Moria in the Lord of the Rings), so its probably worth reading up before going back in again.

I'm probably going to give Attumen a go as Ret tonight and see what result I get with that. I dueod him with a druid without any trouble back when I was in 78 blues so that might be a nice little challenge. Zul Gurub is also on the cards and there seem to be a few people that go there to farm level 60 gear.

I'm not sure what kind of strategy you would need for the first encounter in in Blackwing Lair but it would take something amazing to be able to solo it.

I tried that World boss in Duskwood (Eseris? A level 60 Dragon Raid boss) but may have to respecc Prot on my next attempt. Kept getting locked out of my heal spells =(

Lots of them require strategies though and cannot be simply burnt down like Onyxia. She is a nice little raid boss to solo though with about 50g, some boe blues, jewel bag and those class specific items that shard or vendor nicely.

Do some research and good luck!

Invite a friend, convert the group to a raid, and solo to your heart's content.

Best way to do it is to invite a friend's alt and get them to alt F4 then jump back on their main. Raid still works if the other is dc'd. Otherwise find someone that is fishing.

I dont think the guards in Darkshire would be much help. They can barely bring down that level 40ish elite abomination.

Can you explain this. I'm not sure what ALT+F4 Does? I know ALT+TAB....




Paly.... I have solo'd most of the interesting things in Vanilla WoW. When I learn this F4 thing, I'll solo some of the old raids.

If you're in a raid group, logging out does not remove you from the group.

wait - that's now illegal? That was one of the reasons I build a tank!

You don't know what Alt + F4 does? Its a shortcut that will close almost anything in windows. I was saying for your friend to use this as a means of leaving to get back onto his main without leaving the party. In 5mans if you just log out you will automatically leave party so I used this as an example of how to get out of the game without leaving the party. It saves you time if you don't want to risk getting ghetto hearthed out of an instance for leaving party because you want to turn on/off an addon during an instance run. Seems you dont need to this though in a raid.

I would just try it with both classes out and see for yourself. Its no good saying druid is better or Pally is better if you cant play one as good as the other. It also depends on the boss too. For example its almost impossible for a paladin to solo the 2nd phase of the bat boss in Zul Gurub. You need an interrupt to stop her heal otherwise she just heals back up to full health.

In saying that the shards you get from level 60 loots aren't really worth much on the AH. I think for 4 level 60 epic shards I will get 6g so your probably better off just vendoring what you can thats bop. The boe blues that I pick up range from 15g-70g. The bag of gems/jewels have about 40g of simple gems in them (probably varies server to server). Most of the tomes are only worth a couple of gold.

Took out Onyxia today for a 70 war.The plan was for me to fight onyxia and him the adds, but he died early on. Took about 2 hours- 1 hr each attempt. She knocked me into the eggs the first time and as I tried to escape I was mauled my dozens of adds, she was down to about 25% that try. 2nd attempt had no problems. Got rewarded nicely,and grabbed the head and bag as trophies, let the 70 war take w/e else dropped. It was a good challenge.

As far as Outland Dungeons, for the Protection Paladin, I would have to recommend against trying Shadow Labs.

Up to, and including the first boss is okay, but as soon as you get into the second boss's room, you are going to run into trouble.

The pulls that have 2 or more rogues are going to kill you, because every time you need to heal, they kick you every stinking time, and if you get kicked, it locks out _everything_ on your action bars, since everything a Paladin does is Holy-based. Really freaking annoying, to be honest.

If you could somehow get through that room, you'd have to fight the boss. Not sure how he acts when there's only one person there (does he MC just you and let you run around for a few seconds?), and after you downed that boss, I think the only real trouble left would be the last room with those guys who summon adds constantly, those would have to die first I'd think.

But it is mainly that room with those freaking annoying rogues and their damned kicks. Probably want to bring a healer friend or something for that one.

I've solo'd Sethekk easily enough, and Auchenai Crypts... the last boss was a bit of a challenge, but do-able if you kill your shadow asap and then heal up immediately after and just wear him down.

As far as Curator... Losie, could I ask you something?

Just how the h-e-double hockeysticks did you manage to solo Moroes?

Every time I try it, he plows me down lol. Well, I can get about 2 of his adds down from AoEs, but I end up needing healed, and just one bubble+heal isn't enough. Dropping defenses to heal a second time, I end up losing about as much HP as I just healed, which ends up locking me into an infinite heal cycle, and I end up eventually dying. His stupid gouges prevent me from simply bringing my boomkin GF; he gouges me and all the adds proceed to murder her in 3 seconds. Is it because you have Naxx+ gear, or something? lol. I haven't tried him Lately, admittedly, but still.

Well, I'm not Losie, but Moroes was pretty easy for me, I just pulled by fearing one of the casters and burning the other caster down as quickly as possible, using stun and holy wrath as interrupts. Then aoe'd the rest of the adds using Seal of wisdom and judging light. As soon as the last add dropped i bubbled HLx3 and then just went to town on Moroes. He conveniently vanishes for 5-7sec every 40sec or so which is when you can pop a HL+FoL if needed. Didn't have to even consider using LoH, but my gear is pretty decent. Used the gear that's currently on armory so no healing trinkets or anything.

Maiden was cake as well, although not being able to heal except while bubbled is a bit annoying. Then i got Oz for Opera which is pretty impossible between the fears and spell dam from Dorothy, and the stuns/silences from the rest of the gang, i died in about 30sec without putting a significant dent in her 102k hp.

Huh?

You run faster than he does. You just run away little girl. Run away!. Please don't tell me you died on that fight every time he changed you..
