Hibernate-kiting Smolderweb is fun. Along the same lines, I solo'd Emberstrife to forge my Seal of Ascension, both done in pre-MC kit as a heavy resto build.

Other than that, the most I've done is solo Roccor for my Idol

Interested in what mages can do. I haven't bothered trying anything harder than completely demolishing RFD (can snag about 5 small radiants a pass in there), the limiting factor is always my hitpoints. Having to rely on the occasional ice barrier soak and blink when on cooldown can be limiting in some higher level instances where kiting isn't an option.

I did a solo run for a wolf pet in LBRS (pretty much up to Halycon).
Also some trivial ones like Borelgore, Crimson Courier and the Scarlet Oracle.

As a hunter it's possible to solo LBRS, DM North and East as well as Scholomance with some stupid tricks - it's not even funny.

Solo Scholomance? I was impressed with the mage/paladin duo'ing video, would love to see how a hunter can hit that up w/ no heals.

I've heard tell of a video of a hunter (or perhaps a trio of hunters) solo'ing Ebonroc, but never found the video. Can anyone confirm or provide a link to the video?

If they hadn't nerfed enslave demon time and time again, warlocks could easily solo scholo with the Blood Steward :)

Any hunters out there solo Teremus?

As a warrior, I really can't solo much, but I do far better in tank gear/defensive stance than solo gear.

I solo'd the ogre pile boss in lbrs after he wiped the rest of my group at 75% health. fear, dot dot dot, fear, dot dot dot, fear(oh shit it broke early, death coil), fear dot dot dot etc. oh and dark pact.

edit: on my warlock

This guy has a number of videos of various solo challenges. Some of it is a little gimmicky (Use staircases, jump downs) but all-in-all still impressive.

This video concludes with a solo-kill of Rattlegore.

I know this dosen't really fit the topic, since he obviously had help to clear the instances.

Check out some of Faxmonkey's videos for great examples of mage soloing. Axtrosz was my favorite, I think ;)

Personally, I could never clear the 4-pull in Scholo at the bottom of the stairs (rest of the room wasn't too bad though), never tried Strath but I've seen the Baroness and Rattegore soloed. Princess, presumably much of LBRS (might have to try that this evening, actually...). DM West tree boss, DM East Hydrospawn, DM North Slip'kik I've done. Generally though I have more fun trying to figure out how to beat the trash, since bosses as a mage is almost always nothing but repeated terrain/pathing exploitation.

:edit: Curse you, Omelet!

Depending on the mechanic of the mind control, the baroness could be easier to solo than duo. If she MC's you, and can just wait it out, and she stays at the same health, easy. In a duo, an MC'd rogue would probabaly kill their healer. Key is that she needs to pop back in at the same health level, and not reset or run you into groups of mobs.

I don't have a link since this was a long time ago, but I will confirm it.

The hunter ran to the bottom level of the Suppression room and stealthed his pet in to pull Ebonroc. The drake pathed to him without chaining anything. He'd put a few shots into it while standing in the corner, and then take one step back onto a very, very tiny ledge over the room where the two dragon trash packs spawn. This would cause Ebonroc to stop following him, and instead path downstairs into the dragon trash pack room. The hunter would fire a few more shots, then jump back up, causing Ebonroc to path all the way back upstairs to the bottom level of the suppression room. Repeat.

Don't remember how long the kill took. Nothing incredibly skilled, just repeated use of terrain pathing exploits. :)

OT: When'd you join CQ?

A mage in BWL-level gear can clear all the trash up to rattlegore without too much difficulty. It does help a lot to have things like the Mind Quickening Gem (I still giggle every time I read a post saying MQG is a bad trinket). I believe he said he had help clearing to Rattlegore for the video, but he's done the clear on his own as well.

Also, there was a post on the old mage forums where he listed off the things he's soloed, and at the time he'd added 5 of the 6 minibosses and (I think) Ras Frostwhisper to his kill list.

Been a while, but last time I tried that she resets to full. Couldn't solo her for that reason (she couldn't kill me either though)

Edit: I'm thinking you mean the banshee in ud strat

I do. Baroness Anastari, Strath dead. Don't know what other baronesses there are.

After I duoed Scholo with a mage I was pretty sure I could solo everything in there except for the Butcher (which is the one I assume the mage couldn't get) that guy is just absurd.

yeah you just gotta cooldown whore the first pack and wait 5 minutes (from a combat swords/hemo perspective), then you can safely sap the other packs.

edit: i was doing this 2 months before Niar? released the video of him doing it and i hate him for sharing the information :(

People say DM west can only be solo'd as a warlock but mages can do it even easier.
Sure it involves some 'clever pathing' but it's easy as cake once you get used to it.

And when I say everything in opening room of DM west I mean EVERYTHING. The huge trees which entangle, to the pack of 4 smaller trees to the arcane aberations.

If I had some screenshots it would be a hell of alot easier to show you, but it's basically the ramp down to the first boss, the massive Treant, and you can jump onto the sides to the ramp and the way the pathing works is that the mobs go down to the bottom and come up the side. You get the picture after that. Jump skills yo!

So easily done as a frost mage but can still be done as a fire mage, main reason being is that ice block/ice barrier can save you alot of the time due to the roots. Fire still has the nuke for the packs of 4 treants with the one healer (which can be seriously annoying).

Other than that you could probably solo the random bosses in the arena or at least keep him on lockdown until a friend or 2 arrive and just kite him around the outside of the arena making sure to clip the wall as it slows all of them down so they never catch you.

I actually made quite a few chinese farmer friends while in DM and one day there was a mad crazy gang war between 2 groups, so funny to watch the BM spec hunters send in their big red 'cat' at each other. I even used the 'Chinese for idiots' quotes a guildy posted on our forums once (awesome bunch of random chinese quotes for use in wow, netted me a cool 30 major mana) but got totally lost when they said something that wasn't on the list of possible replies.

what sort of gear do you need on a druid to be able to farm bosses in mara and below?
SM was pretty easy right when I hit 60 on my druid, (If I had the patience, I'd clear Cathedral so I could farm Mograine's might since I never got it for my druid), but I haven't given much thought to Gnomer/Mara/Uldaman since I have been resto spec for a while.

Once you get him out of his room, he's not too bad. Kiting him around the top of that area keeps him from being able to really do any damage.

I still say the paladin who soloed Kazzak has the biggest Iron Man epeen of them all.
