Yeah I was gonna suggest that OS 0D might be doable. The dragons wouldnt be soloable though I assume (i havent tried) due to the the portal drake?? Am I right.

In regards to stonecore, mothertrucker, those adds hit hard. I managed to get to slabhide, but it took flipping ages. Every time, my pet would be dead the adds running at me, as i got Millhouse to 50% and he would run off, at which point i would FD.

To stop him ping ponging back to the front group: Camo around the first one, and kill the 2nd and 3rd groups without Millhouse being there, (these groups are barely doable too, with 2 freezing traps up). Then when u have him to 50% on the first group he will run straight to the rock wall and get knocked in.

But then I did manage to get to Slaghide in the end, only tried him once cus i was so hacked off, and its a looong fight I found, maybe my dps isnt up to scratch, but you have to be constantly moving to get LoS and avoid those pools.


I also had a look at Alar, after i saw a video of a lock soloing him at 80, 4.0.3. Dunno if anyone else has tried him, but the problem I was having was too much damage being sustained throughout the fight due to flame buffets taken when your pet in running to the next platform.

There we go, alot of wait time for rendering / uploading, gotta love shitty internet, here is my clean 'ahem' Sartharion10-kill.
Hunter Solo Sartharion10

Al'ar is quite doable.
Spec: My normal marks. 5/31/5
Pet: Kitty with dash.

Gear: Standard 85 normal/heroic instance gear.
Buffs: Drum kings buff (I'm a leather worker so I always have a few of these around)

With my pets dash and my Deterrence we were able to run around quick enough just relying on chimera shot for heals.
Then the second phase I spent trying to dodge meteors while killing the adds before doing a little damage on Al'ar itself.

Also I found Mags easier in that same setup/spec then a BM spec. Chimera is more then enough healing.
Though I use my turtle for this fight.

Also thanks Kcow for the information on Sapphrion.
Took me two tries because I didn't get spirit bond the first time and Chimera just could not keep up

Just in case someone is intreagued about all this solo stuff, Void Reaver is perfectly soloable in a non-raidgered, non-optimized spec. Essentially you can down him however you like it. Just liberal use of FD and Mend Pet, and avoid the orbs. Don't even think a Tenacity pet is required. So get out there and solo!
I did however notice that my pet failed to bring his threat above 315k. Once there he never got more. Thankfully I always had FD ready for that, but it was certainly annoying. MD helped, but it was still rather troublesome like that.

I would however suggest not gunning for Maggy until you have had some practice. After the complete walkover that Void Reaver was I took a chance at Maggy. I didn't die, too much health for that to happen, but there were AoE threat issues in my MM spec. I took a crapton of bolts despite my Turtle Thunderstomping like a madpet. And of course the infernals were a pain. While I could potentially have MDed my pet, I simply didn't have the patience to do that. It felt like it would have taken most of my time, letting my pet handle the damage to Maggy mostly.

I suspect that with sufficient raidgear it will be possible to burst the channelers down one by one, as I tried and nearly managed it a couple of times. So I will most definately come back when I have better gear (I'm not really that much of a solo runner, only do a little for fun with the gear and specs I normally use).

Anyone tried Onyxia10? Seems like its somewhat of a gearcheck, the main problem I have are the whelps, I got an idea of speccing BM and having a Worm or a Chimaera for AoE aswell as survivability but need to level them both .. if anyone have downed her please let me know.

High King Maulgar looks like a brick wall.
Hydross the Unstable is a pain when you transition to Nature-form, just alot of dmg, like Onyxia if someone has downed him please give notes.

Hunter Solo Al'ar
Hunter Solo Magtheridon
Hunter Solo Void Reaver

My main focus for soloing has been collecting mounts and other rare items. Some of my observations, both mount runs and not:

5 Man Kael - Was slightly hard at level 80, with my main problem being Priestess Delrissa and her minions. But since 85, its a cake walk. You can skip all the trash with camouflage and just tackle the bosses.

Skadi The Ruthless - Skadi himself isn't such a problem, if you start the encounter with a decent amount of health left. The big problem for me was the gauntlet before him. The mobs just keep coming, and killing them off before you bring down Skadi and start the 2nd part is key I feel. My usual tactic is to keep grinding down the mobs until it's just the two new refresh ones left, and then bring him down. His whirlwind goes slow enough for you to keep ahead of it, and so long as you keep your health up, Poisoned Spear isn't that big of a problem. You can skip everything before him with camouflage, making it a fairly quick run.

25 Man Kael - Honestly, and I know a DK just did it, but I don't see a hunter doing it any time soon. The mind control is going to be a problem for a long time, and I have no idea how to get past it. The Tempest Keep trash is a joke now.

Void Reaver - I only tried him once, but I couldn't burn him down before the enrage timer kicked in. I'm very poorly geared at level 85, so I can clearly see how someone with better gear would be able to do it no problem. Aspect of the Fox keeps you firing and ahead of his Arcane Orbs.

Molten Core - Again, at 80, was a bit of a challenge. Now, at 85, a joke. I've been within 20k health of burning down Ragnaros before the first 3 minute switch twice, although I'm not sure if there's something stopping me from doing it, or if I just came up short as I wasn't keeping an eye on the time. Golemagg used to be a bit of a challenge as well, but on the last run, I just sent my pet directly at him and burned him down before the debuffs got to be to much for me to heal through on my pet. Very easy.

Ghostcrawler - Not a boss, but still, worth mentioning. He hits HARD. I tamed him this morning, and after starting at 103k health, he had me down below 30k before I was done taming him. Assuming it doesn't scale with level, it wouldn't be fun trying to tame him without a good pool of health. Also does a "Nerf Bat" debuff, although I'm not really sure what it does.

A worm would (unless it has been fixed) loose all its aggro on the whelps when it does its aoe, but the chimera might work. Is the problem that the whelps kill your pet, or that they kill you because your pet can't keep aggro on them? If the problem is your pet dying then perhaps it would help a lot to use survival for ''serpent spread'' and t5 for healing. That has worked very well for me when I solo aoe bosses/trash. Hunters used to be one of the worst multi mob soloers because of our pets low avoidance, but t5 and survival aoe has improved that.

I find it very interesting to watch people getting new bosses down in Naxxramas and burning crusade raids. It shows that hunter soloing has improved much since the start of Wotlk. In Wotlk we started doing Karazhan and Molten core in the summer of 2009 -or- half a year after the release of Wotlk. Now just days after the release of Cataclysm we have already moved into Naxxramas 10 and are doing great in Burning Crusade raids. Comparing that to Wotlk it would be similar to hunters doing Karazhan and Molten core/Blackwing lair just a few days after Wotlk release. Again it's nice to see. Also talking about raid difficulties in Cataclysm-Wotlk. Soloing Karazhan in Cataclysm would actually be like doing Upper Blackrock spire at level 80 if health/damage/boss health is around the same. That I find a little funny. That is also why I picture Classic raids being very easy now. Doing Molten core at 85 would be kind of like doing Blackrock spire or Zul'gurub at 80.

At glance it feels like theres too much DPS you need (whelps, guardians and Onyxia in P2) since as far as I know they dont stop spawning 'til P3, only tried her ~5 times, gonna try it out more now when christmas is finally over.

I'm sorry. I'm cleaning up my messy post right now! (It was spilled with excitement and nothing about analysis etc. I want to stay on this forums)

So at first:
I downed Noth on my third try. No Problem at all.

Then I killed Heigan 25 man Naxx. For this try I had to switch from my shale spider to my Tank Beetle and had to transfer a point in 2/2 imp mend pet (but still being BM). The damage with the dot may be abit spiky and my shalespider died two or three tries because of: 1/2 imp mend pet and just 1 shild wall (cower)
This fight is just hard because of the time it took to down him (~25 Minutes give or take 2-3 Minutes).

I then tried Loatheb (10) and this fight was very exciting for me. It's my first time I tinkered my own strat and made it work:
At first: He IS soloable (proofs following after the rendering and my sleppytime is finished), BUT he is (maybe even VERY) gear and preperation dependant right now. I'm in good heroics gear with 2 pvp items and a few epics right now and it took me close to death to down him. I made a lot mistakes as seen in the video, but the strat breakdown comes to this:

1) You want to down him ASAP and this could be realized by the spores which reduce your produced aggro to ZERO (very important) So I choosed my typicall Raiding SV package.

2) Have a load of pets ready! Since you can hardly heal your pet the magic trick is the following one: I started with my Tank beetle and used harden (is it the correct translation??) and cower nearly on cd. Mending him nearly before the debuff runs out. This isn't enough though. I then DISMISSED my pet infight at a good distance.Here kicks the spore debuff in since you do not generate aggro at all. (I had just my DPS pets ready at this point of time) They will start with: Full health and No debuff. So using cower and mending pet is very advisable, but also is the timing (I messed it up here pretty hard I think). So switcing pets right after the debuff is applied may be positive, but:
2a) I had to cycle alot. :-( This is caused by the fact that the pets were not tenancy pets but fero or cunning pets. I switched to my tank beetle later in fight and he might reganed life but started with a ticking debuff. So timing moght be the key again.

I think this fight will become quite trivial when:
-you have just turtles and beetles.
-your gear is better.
-you time your cycles better than me. (shouldn't be hard) ;-)


For the kill I also used:
My gear (shild tinker on belt - but ignorable)
A healthstone
A misused mystical healing potion with glove tinker (macroed the glove slot to attacks. BIG mistake on my end)
A Flask of endless rage (180AP flask - leftover from wotlk raiding)
A couple of pets
My ingenuity ;-)
And alot of faults and "screw-ups"


What also played negatively into my cards was the time. it is 5am right now and i downed him at 4am. Way too late/early!



So my PC is pre rendering the xfire file (which my vegas denies to work with )I'll do some sort of polishing and editing but the whole fight will be seen.
When I'm done with sleeping.

Ohh and i almost forgot:
Merry Christmas. Feliz Navidat. Frohe Weihnachten.
