It seems the aggroing the raptor boss with your pet, jumping on the step and setting your pet on passive so it teleports to you and the boss follows with the raptor despawning was hotfixed.
Tried it several times yesterday, the boss just resetted at the base of the stairs.

Ah well, just killed the raptor first, then it was business as usual from there.

I started wondering if I had dreamed that i did it, but i checked my raid tracker and sure enough I had done it yesterday. So I went to ZG thinking it may just be a glitch and not showing. Got there and found the bosses back up.

The only thing i did different yesterday was log off when in the raid group and onto and alt that somehow ended up in the raid.

Anyone ever had this happen?
ZG resets every three days, regardless of when you run it.

I just did this not 5 minutes ago. It still works. (the ledge)
edit- it seems I shouldn't reply to posts before actually reading them... I was thinking you were talking about them hot fixing the raptor evade strategy. I've never actually despawned the raptor until after the boss died, I always just evade bugged him and killed the boss. then passive my pet up to me and feign death to despawn the raptor before I loot. Doing this worked perfect just today though.

I couldnt get it to work. I would just keep the raptors aggro on me and it just stands next the boss. Sometimes my pet will grab the agg on it but i just re-target still he is on me again and just standing there. I would kill him first but he evades after i get the aggro so i just jump down and kill him after the boss.

Reset was at saturday night maybe? It does not reset 3 days after you start is, resets are scheduled (you can check them in wowcalendars).

Assuming all US servers reset at the same time, ZG reset early Sunday morning (around 4 AM I believe).

The Core Hound packs are actually quite easy to deal with assuming you have 2PT5.

What I do is, i send my pet in on a single one, misdirect it and start blasting it down to about 20%~ then i switch to the next one, rinse and repeat, keep mend up on the pet at all times and make sure to keep a safe distance, the DoT that they apply to you is random targetting to anyone in 0-8~ yards (not sure on the exact distance) by the time you get to the 4th or 5th one you should be running low on mana, its safe to switch to viper and mana up, just be aware that the loss in damage may require you to use a few cooldowns to increase your DPS. Once all 5 are at about 20% and you have 2500+ mana, AoE them down the rest of the way with volley. Works very well, takes a bit of practice tho.

Little tip for all you solo runners. Join AV right before entering instance, get yourself and your pet fully buffed, leave BG and get in instance.

For anybody interested in wrath instances:

Utgarde Keep - easy run except 2nd boss. I know there is a youtube video of someone soloing it but i just couldnt down them.

The Nexus - Easy run. The challenging boss is the final boss. Just have to constantly jump and move your pet.

Azjol-Nerub - Easy run. The 2nd boss is a pain because at any point you FD he despawns.

Ahn'kahet: The Old Kingdom - Couldn't get past the 2nd boss and no way to skip it. The killer is when he drains you. Going to make a few more attempts this weekend using pure pvp gear/sta gear.

The Violet Hold - No bosses down yet. The times i got to the 1st boss is was the dog that breaths fire. Learning fight strats should help out for this instance. The thing about VH is that the portals will despawn before the "mini-boss" comes out if adds come out first. I've had one portal the "boss" despawned and just kept on getting adds.

If anyone is at all interested in soloing early wrath instances I'll be happy to contribute more.

there is a small thing in VH where the bosses fall under the floor and you are unable to see them but they are still there, and the few times it has happened to me alittle bit of pet movement sorted it out fine

I've been working on something lately that i know is kinda useless skeptical that the extra stam will even help out. My goal is to make a stam set for my bm hunter, enchant and gem every piece of gear with stam. The only problem I see with this is that the loss of dps will actually transfer in less hps from 2p t5. If anyone has ever tried a stam set let me know your results personally i would love to see a hunter at 35k health or more

My stam set/pet talent spec nets me 35k life in raids at least, I've tanked the trash before general before. Sadly, I don't have tier 5 so I can't tell you the difference. 35-40k life on a pet makes silverback really nice though.

Hi, first post, awesome forum I've been reading here for a while, trying to solo some old stuff.

I cleared Luci, Mag and Gehennas in MC, got stuck on Garr (still no 2T5), so some guildmates helped me on him. Afterwards, we cleared all but Rag. We gave him a try, but the healer got disconnected, so we just hearthed. Anyway, I wanted to try to solo Rag today, but forgot I had to defeat Majordomo again to spawn him.

I'm completely clueless how to do that, right after pulling probably four or five adds come straight to me, I mend my turtle and FD, when I stand up I usually get ported in the middle, somehow have aggro again, have to wait for FD to be off cd, dps one add a little, but it's way to low to even kill one of them. I then tried a WL strat, who was just dotting them up and then jumped down the different ledges and eventually get teleported up again and repeated that for about 20 minutes. Well, lets just say it didn't work out.

Am I missing some fact to the encounter? Does 2T5 make such a difference? I'm hoping to get mine on tuesday, convinced my friends to do SSC/TK

My gear is all Naxx HC/UL, though I have a stamina heavy set, which gives about 24k hp for me an just over 20k hp/21k armor for my turtle. Somewhat standard BM and tenacity pet spec for soloing purposes.
