I know this has been addressed before but I simply cannot beat the third boss in H MgT solo.

The suggested tactic posed earlier in the thread was to kite the bosses back through the instance and pick them apart as you go. They never seem to separate appropriately for me though no matter how much of an effort I make to freeze trap or snare them. I always end up getting stunned or feared at a bad time and the enemy gets heals off and then I get overwhelmed.

A friend suggested leading into combat with double snake trap to keep the bosses busy and for the hope that the added poison effects would give me a pleasant edge; but this never seems to work out well in practice. I was wondering if anyone else had given this a try.

At this point I can't even decide which sort of pet to throw at that particular fight. My spider seems more and more like a good plan to go with the kiting plan but I just feel like I'm missing something obvious. The rest of the instance is cake up until here.

They did change something in ZG. You can get it to work the old way still but it is more of a hit and miss to get it to work.

That being said, it is still very doable even with the raptor not despawning. Start out as normal and when you drop down on the ledge the raptor will run to where you pet is. If you allow the pet to hold aggro on the boss while you hold threat on the Raptor, the raptor will just stand there looking at you and evade. If you FD you will loose the raptors aggro to the pet. All you have to do is shoot the raptor a few times to grab it back. When he evades go back to boss. Just make sure you dont pull the boss aggro and all is fine. WHen the boss goes down, just jump down and kill the raptor.

Loot, be disappointed, and tell all the other mobs you will see them in a few days.

Start off with a snake trap. Pick the easiest target to dps them down, and burn them. By the time the adds get to you they'll be playing with snakes. Drop another snake trap and finish burning the first add down.

At this point its relatively easy. Keep mend pet up, and if you get aggro again, just mend pent, feign death until the trap is up again, and another snake trap to keep them busy.

Snake traps make this so much easier. As for pets, i just used a standard dps pet. I can see how a spider might be really nice though. But I think i'd still prefer a high dps pet to do some damage while I'm FD'd.

Not sure if anyone has posted this, but I found an easy way to just fight Main priest guy on the Tiger boss, been doing it for few weeks. clear the 2 trash pack, set pet on archway (door) passive, MD + run to boss, just shoot the main priest and Feign Death. Others will reset, while the priest will run to pet. From there, is easy tank + spank.

The mend pet glyph is all you need in my opinion for MGT herioc. Yust make sure you nuke Vexallus down fast if you decide to destroy the sparks yourself. I solo it with a BM build though. You can always use your pet cooldowns if can't catch up with the healing but for myself, I hardly had problems regarding pet survivalbility.

I havn't found it necessary to bug the raptor at all. When it works, great, but I've yet to have any trouble fighting him straight up either. I was able to heal a gorilla through the enrage after the raptor died, and a ferocity pet with Lick Your Wounds makes it even easier. My gear is about half Ulduar25 and half Naxx25, and I do not have 2PC T5.

I'm gonna have to check out your strat for the Tiger boss sneakysam. I've gotten pretty good at doing that fight with a Gorilla for Pummel and just interrupting all of her heals, but it can still be a PITA. Your way sounds like cake.

I also found HMgT manageable without tier 5. I used a turtle and a mix of pvp/naxx 25 gear when I first started. If you have your pet kill all of the sparks then you can sit back and not worry much about them, and you also get to see a very, very big pet by the end of the fight.

For the third boss, I typically respec back to my raid survival or marks build. As survival, you can trap one, sting another, and burn priestess down before anything bad happens.

also Reg utgarde keep has been hunter soloed

Got any pointers? I can never make it bug out so I"m on the ground, killing the ratpro first and then the boss - but I have a horrible time with the boss's charges - the last time I tried it took me three tries and when I finally killed him I was at like 5% health.

I'm more like you, I've got naxx 25/uldar gear, but no 2pc t5 - but I go with a crocolisk all healy/tank spec...

Its not an issue outside of his charges - and whenever I"ve tried the platform method he's never bugged out and always kept charging

Any advice is much appreciated - only frickin mount I've wanted since day one..stupid thing won't drop!

There are several ways you can do the Raptor boss;

1) Just do it like most raids did it at lvl 60; clear the trash first, then take on the boss and raptor. Kill Raptor first, his sunders will stack on your pet which increases damage done to pet dramatically at some point. Once Raptor dies the real fun begins as you know; enraged Mandokir with a Guillotine move that hits (not crits) for 10k, a move he only does if you keep healing/damaging as he 'watches' you.
This is naturally the hardest way to solo Mandokir (fears, charges, 5k guillotine hits if you aren't careful), but it is possible, i myself used to solo raptor boss a few times before i read about the following bug(s).

2) Kill the speaker, Mandokir will come down. Have your pet grab both raptor and troll while you yourself run up the stairs, after which you jump to the middle level of the temple. Once you are here, you can choose to kill the raptor first (removing stacking sunders on pet, but making Mandokir enrage), or let Raptor hit the pet and simply kill Mandokir. You can even choose to make the raptor go into evade mode, by shooting at it with pet only building threat on the troll. Whatever you do, do not overaggro on the troll; he will teleport you down with all the consequences of that (fears/charges).

3) An even greater exploit/bug: same as nr 2, but this time once you are in position, call back your pet, making it teleport next to you. Both Mandokir and his raptor will stay downstairs evading, looking at your pet (It's a pet, not a player, so Mandokir can't teleport him downstairs). After 20 seconds Mandokir teleports to your spot at the middle level (???) mounted on his raptor. You can immediately attack him and only he will appear, the raptor is gone. Jump down from the middle level, while your pet stays there with the troll. Run halfway up the stairs, and dps the troll from here, where you don't have to worry about fears/charges.

I can also confirm the exploit for the tiger boss works: pet standing in the archway, the entrance to the little field (I have yet to find the exact spot). Misdirect on pet, shoot the main troll (he will briefly target you, so will his adds), Feign Death when they reach you; if done properly the adds will run back but The'kal will run to your pet, completely trivializing p1. No heals, no pet stuns, no resurrections.
Naturally Tiger boss can easily be done the normal way, but for those hunters who are having troubles with this encounter, they can try this way too. It also means (accompanied with the Raptor exploit) you can do the two ZG mount bosses in your regular raid spec, and don't need to spend your dual spec on a BM spec.

For Thekal, I cleared the first area of course, then parked my pet (on passive) at the top of the ramp under the first arch you entered before all the tigers. Then, I went to the second arch, MD to pet, shot only Thekal and when Thekal & his adds got to me, I feigned, the adds returned to the tent and Thekal continued towards my pet, but stopped halfway between the two arches. I then sent my pet to attack him & that begun the next phase. Pretty easy take down after that.
