It's 10.5 sec, but at least you were close. Warp can indeed be used in melee range, though the pet will not auto cast it there, so you'll have to macro it to your shots. Assuming a 2.0 boss attack speed, a Warp Stalker could avoid a significant amount of melee attacks.

Has anyone tried The Prophet Skeram in AQ40? It's really hard because of the mind control. Sometimes I attack my snake and she dies but sometimes I don't and she's fine. Maybe I'll try using some PvP trinket to break the effect but I doubt it.

Is it possible to macro a gorilla's pummel to hit a specific target upon spell casting? I think it would help my High Priest Thekal fight go a bit faster. (I'm not very good with making macros )

I have tried The Prophet Skeram, never managed to get past about 73%, mostly due to the split he does at 75%.

I got around the Mind Control by using my 3T1 to stand outside of its range, however his Earth Shock ability has a 100yd range.
Once he split my pet was not able to keep enough agro on them all to keep them from blasting me to bits with Earth Shocks. I tried using capped NR and while it helped a little it was not enough.

I also tried standing in close at melee. Take off your bow or you will pincushion your pet during MC's.
This way ended the same way, blown to bits by earth shocks + melee.

The PVP trinket would be fairly useless on account of how often that MC ability is cast.

Not so good on macros myself, but it might be possible to use something along the lines of
/cast [target=focus] Pummel
Provided you focus little miss healy. Adding her name directly(instead of "focus") into that could work to.
Or
/tar Zealot Lor'Khan
/cast Pummel


Generally your pet should Always be attacking the healer on Thekal anyhow, well provided you use the same strat I do I guess..

Set Lorkan as your focus:
/focus Zealot Lor'khan


Use the Following macro:
/cast [target=focus] Pummel

If you have your Focus Frame shown, you can see her cast even without targetting her.

I killed Priestess Delrissa three times now and never was able to loot her. Two kills with kiting them all to vexallus' room and back, one kill without leaving the priestess' room. So I contacted the GMs and got a reply (actually I got two replies per mail, first letter just said "delete Addons, delete WTF, etc", you know, the usual :x). The Second Letter said that it currently isn't possible to loot her when you solo her and that they were working on a solution. Reckoned I should share this with you guys.

I've done several trys with a gorilla on Garr but got no real chance to kill even one add.
Last night i tamed up a warp stalker and tried it again and the difference between these two pets was so huge.
It was really easy to kill garr with the warp stalker and "Warp" is such a great spell.

Hunter Talent
Pet Talent

My equip is nothing special, except the 2x T5 items.

7/10 MC and hitting a brickwall at Golemagg, has anyone managed to find a way to kill him? I've tried pathing exploit similar to what we've seen in LBRS and SlavePens, but he resets and becomes untargettable when pulled out of his room.

Seems to be a known issue, I haven't been able to loot her either.

Hello All:

I have been farming lev 70 heroics! I have had some successes... and some *not so much* I use a BM build and a tanking pet (bear). Use whatever gear you can that will give you and your pet optimal stamina--in most cases optimal stamina seemed to be the key element of success. Remember to get stam scrolls (LOTS), food / drink, buff food (for your pet too), and a flask. I can get my pet to 23K (with buffs etc), and so far it has seemed to work quite well. Obviously you need to have good dps, but so far the higher I have managed to get my pet and Khammon'd stamina, the more successes I have had and less ghostruns.

I wanted to get some feedback from others that are working on these instances. So far, I have tried the following Lev 70 heroics:

Slaves: Not too bad, the first boss needs to be mana drained and / or stay on top of his healing totems; the second boss will often kill you as the bleed effect will only end once you are healed to full... so potions and eating usually won't do the trick; last boss with the nature buff stacked with your own, not too bad.

Underbog: tough, especially the 3rd boss encounter: take out the bear first and use last stand, all CDs asap... once the bear is out of the way you need to get lucky as the humanoid's "aimed shot" can hit for 20K damage.

Steam Vault: medium difficulty, the first boss was the toughest I thought.

Ramps: reasonable easy, a good one to try first.

B Forge: Nightmare! It was reasonable until you get to the 2nd boss encounter and I have tried it ten times with no luck. I can get to the 3rd pull (4 mobs) and it is just too much to juggle--either I pull or my pet gets rofflestomped or etc.,

Bot: tough. The first boss was the real sticking point. After, say, 6 attempts I did it with my pet down and, no joke, prob 100 health when the four boss adds de-spawned! After that, the fights we're not too bad. The third boss was tough, you have to keep your health up so you can take a sacrifice or two...

Mech: not too bad. The gauntlet is tough, but if you are patient you can work through it. The fire boss is a challenge, and I got lucky on my first shot and pulled it off, but it was v close.


Any and all advice, pointers etc., would be appreciated. The gold/hr is not great, but so long as you don't die to much farming these runs is somewhat of a money maker, depending on whether or not some lev 70 dis enchant matts sell well on your server, cloth sells well, etc.,

Thanks for input!

Tactics for the MgT bosses have been posted a few pages back (Heroic MgT), but here are the keypoints:

Second boss Vexallus: kill first spark yourself for +50% damage increase (if you have 2xt5, which make most solo endeavours trivial, it also increases the healing done to pet by 50% ofcourse, not looking at Mend Pet). The other spark that spawns goes to pet, and all the sparks after that go to pet too. Keep Mend Pet up at all times (goes without saying) and just nuke the boss. The fact your pet got most charges means his damage output will be enormous, so aggro will not be a problem. I added a line to my Steady Shot macro to make this boss slightly easier:

/petattack [target=Pure Energy];

This way, i had Vexallus as my target at all times, while my pet would instantly kill any sparks that would spawn (since you are 'spamming' Steady Shot macro), and going back to Vexallus afterwards.

Two ways to deal with the third boss: either kite her and her goons through the (cleared!) instance, killing them one by one, or send pet in and hope none of the melee classes charge/run to you and make quick work of you. The exact tactics are described one or two pages back by several people, myself included.

Kaelthas isnt that hard either, once you get to p2 it is a kill.

Edit: as far as your second question goes, I solo the first boss in Karazhan regularly for the mount now. Phase 1 is the tricky bit, Mend Pet 100% uptime and 2T5 are needed here. The critical phase is where you have to switch to viper since your mana will run out before Midnight reaches 25% hit points. Phase 2 is very trivial, a basic tank and spank fight, just make sure you dont stand too far from Attumen (since he will charge you otherwise), and dont stand in front of him (he cleaves).

I have tried soloing Maiden of Virtue and Moroes. They *should* be possible, but it is extremely challenging for several reasons. Maiden will cast Holy Fire fairly often on you (the only player, she will not cast it on pet), which is LoS based. Her Repentance and Chain Lightning ignore LoS but isnt a huge deal of damage. The only option i see is to let your pet solo her while you are in LoS of pet, but not the boss (I pulled Maiden out her room, with me standing in one of the smaller siderooms, pet standing in front of entrance of the room, and Maiden out of my sight), but even like this it is challenging.
Moroes same story, you can chain trap one mob, nuke another one (make sure your pet is facing all mobs at all times, he really needs to avoid as much damage as possible), but one major issue i saw was the Garrote. Ticks for 1k every 3 seconds, and lasts 5 minutes, so kinda ends there. And since Moroes is needed to progress in Karazhan (to start opera), i think we wont be seeing a full solo Karazhan clear by a hunter for a long time

Ive been reading this thread but mostly its about tips and tricks about level 60 raid instances being solo-able and Heroic MGT.

What im wondering is if some hunters are actually farming TBC normal / Heroic instances for gold.
Im looking for an alternative way of making gold instead of doing the dailies currently in the game.
Thinking it more over , it shouldnt be too bad if you dont die considering :

- gold drops from mobs
- netherweave cloth
- greens

The greens and netherweave can be turned into arcane dust which - at least on my server - is getting more and more expensive by the day.

Considering humanoids / undeads drop most gold / cloth combined some TBC instances are not suited for this kind of farming. The instances left ( imo ) are :

- Ramparts ( heroic )
- Bloodfurnace ( heroic )
- Shattered halls ( both normal and heroic )
- Shadow Labirynth ( both normal and heroic )
- Mana tombs ( heroic probably )
- Sethek halls ( both normal and heroic )
- Mechanar ( both normal and heroic )

I have no tier 5 , making things a bit more difficult, but any experienced hunter farmer out here who can say which instance is easiest to farm with minimal risk of dieing while still making a decent amount of gold ?
