Forums General Discussion Soloing old Raids 6.0.2?
Anybody that does not have the Amani Battle Bear now is a good time to solo the heroic dungeon Zul'Aman.
Couldn't get pass heroic spine. wish they don't give the debuff when soloing. Also, i'm so happy that i can do Yogg no lights on all my toons now.
Spine is the only thing I haven't been able to solo after the patch. Other than that though, I've full cleared everything pre-MoP on H25.
Edit: I'd suggest people get on it before it gets nerfed since all of the Cata raids still drop ~150g per boss and a ton of loot vendoring for 20-40g per piece.
i havent tried on live, but a couple days before 6.0.2, i went to run BT for shifts n giggles. no way of finishing... Essence of Despair is a 1 shot on yourself, even with white hits, and i switched from 2h to a lvl 70 1h and white hits were a 1 shot still.
So is Firelands and DS soloable now?
I am able to solo all of Dragon Soul and Firelands 10 normal, currently.
It will be a lot easier to do so (for achievements, legendaries, mounts etc) at 100. Think of it like clearing ICC currently.
Generally I run in pairs with my boyfriend because it's just more fun to do !@#$ with a buddy. But we've run into additional problems.
Other than that, no complaints, really. It's a lot of fun to solo old content. :) Going to try some Cata fights on Heroic 25 man next week (again, 2 manning).
Sorry, I don't solo a lot of content these days, so I can only comment on what I've experienced. Here's hoping that balancing with vehicle fights comes before next week, along with Spine fixes (or removal).
How do you do Yogg? I tried it on my shammy but the damn tentacles just keep grabbing me and i can't do anything.
I'm not too sure about shammy, but for warrior I use whirlwind, monk rushing jade, hunter use pet, dk spam blood boil and pally i use light hammer and consecrate. Pally was in prot spec.
I'm sure you can pop your searing totems or something before the tentacles grabs you.
SO far there's only been one boss who I can't get past - the rock guy in Dragon Soul. Otherwise? Netherspite went down in three hits, for crying out loud. Great time for going transmog hunting, this patch.
Don't need to do her anymore.
Thorim also no longer launches a death ball into the arena so you can just do the tunnel and then hit him and aoe all of the adds that are in the arena in Ulduar.
Rygarius made a post a while back stating they were going to be making sure some older instances are able to be solo'd. Not "Ezmode" but to where mechanics wouldn't make it impossible like the healing boss or thorim that had to be cheesed a bit.
The misses you note for the Raider's Training Dummy is because it's been scaled up to level 100.
The extra damage against the lower level target, the level 85 dummy, is because all players receive a damage increase factor when dealing damage to a creature that is lower level. This applies only to creatures from expansions prior to Mists of Pandaria.
Here's a [url="http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/13087818929?page=2#37"]forum post[/url] explaining the logic behind it if you're curious (warning, contains a lot of math).
Heck, that math is too complicated!
All i know is im going to Dragon soul to Wreck it up!
I can solo almost all wrath content except the Gunship and Lich King. Most cata content, Can't do the conclave in TotFW, and I can't do Deathwing.
what did the person on illidan trade chat say : they didn't patch a raid on damage yet.
i asked him how did you find that out?
In the past just before ToT I could solo ZG mount bosses with little or no problem.... but could not solo the CoT cata dungeons on my mage (I missed last part of Cata). Maybe I could have on a DK/Hunter/Lock but would die to bosses with the mage.
Went in last night and trash would be 1 shot and bosses would take 3-5 frost bolts.
After dying to 25 man Ultraxion, I noticed my mistake and did 10 man - went down in @ 10 seconds.
