Of the heroics you listed, i have succesfully soloed Mana Tombs, Sethek Halls, and Shadow Labyrinth, haven't tried the other ones. For me personally the biggest reason to solo any old instance is a mount/pet/rare thing, and the gold i get is a plus. I do have 2T5 bonus (4 pieces total, so can choose) and even though it might not be mandatory to have, i highly recommend getting at least 2 pieces (gloves and shoulders are easiest to get with a group of 5-10 people, just dont bring mages/locks )

Sethek Halls is not a big problem, the bosses and trash die very quickly apart from one type of mob; the 2 guard packs you encounter after the first boss. There are 3 of these packs, 6 mobs total, and they hurt...alot.

Mana Tombs first boss is horrible; he is a voidwalker (elemental) meaning he does shadow damage, but still in the physical damage school (If anyone can explain this better, go ahead). Your pet can't parry/dodge/block anything, he will take the full damage. Be sure to pull your pet away when boss buffs himself with damage shield, or your pet will kill himself. Other than the first boss, Mana Tombs is managable.

This is how I did it.

Launch Freezing Arrow right at the entrance of the gate, get your pet to Thunderstomp the other three adds, then bounce one of them between your pet and you. I potted/scrolled up fully for just that boss and I wont be doing him again.


I've successfully cleared the Coilfang Reservoir Heroics, Auchidoun Heroics and currently working with the Hellfire ones (Blood Furnace cleared)

Will update my blog when I get time to fraps some more fights.

My gorilla is only 79 tho, im not sure if this will make a really big difference? If anyone can give me some advice I'll appreciate

Thanks
I use a tank spec bear to solo Bloodlord. I just park it next to the Speaker, kill it, leg it up the stairs and jump down onto a ledge and start to nuke the boss himself while tossing the occasional Mend Pet on my bear and Multishotting when I need to get the Raptor to evade so he is not hitting my bear. All in all, it is relatively simple to do, however, the cheap git still hasn't dropped the mount for me.

Hehe, may i ask why you quoted a question from page 2 that has been answered several times already? Anyway, yeah that's the way many of us do it now, though others consider it an exploit. However, i have done it the 'hard' way too, i.e. dealing with the fears/charges.

It seems that this encounter has been finally fixed. I've been using evade tactic several times before, but
now after the last reset I've not been able to do so anymore. Fight always ends either Mando himself evading,
popping on the ledge or raptor coming back from nowhere.

I'd be interested to hear if others been getting same results.

Last reset? For me Zul'Gurub will reset tomorrow, i did Mandokir two days ago, and did not have any issues you just described. When exactly did you try Mandokir? Two days ago or yesterday?

Mandokir sometimes evades on me too but I simply get him back into position and by now it always worked out in the end.

Since you (the hunter) always have initial aggro on Mandokir (you being the only player), you shouldnt start the fight when standing on middle level of his temple anyway, since he ll port you downstairs. So yeah, what i do is kill the speaker first, let Mandokir come down, pet grabs him and then i move to the middle level of the temple. I reckon most of us have been doing it like this, and i haven't had any random teleports for a long time. As long as you make sure you are nowhere near the pet on threat, i cant see why Mandokir would port you downstairs, but perhaps it is a bug i have yet to see myself.

I let pet grab mandokir and then jump to the middle level. I then put my pet on passive (it teleports to me). After 30 seconds or so Mandokir will "reset" but he will teleport to you without his raptor. I then jump off and DPS him from the stairs. I've never had an evade problem, the raptor is never even there to DO damage (which means best of all, I can auto-shot afk and win). Did this yesterday, same fight as always.

Just asking again, has anyone downed Jindo lately?

I dont't know what the fuss about the raptor is all about... just kill him (takes about 15 seconds) and then go for Mandokir. The Frenzy buff he gets is really nothing to worry about.

The first few times I did the fight I did it just killing the raptor then just dealing with the buff, its not really an issue even without 2T5.
Though I have had the occasional time where I got unlucky and my pet dipped fairly low. So I just jumped down and took agro for a little.

After that I started on the keep raptor evade bugged on me.

Lately I've been doing the make it despawn strat.
Mostly because I leave my pet on passive after engage and he stuffs up and ends up coming up to me.
