I tried out my 2 piece T5 gear in SSC - wow what a breeze to do bosses, 95% of the time I didnt need to Mend Pet at all and pair with MM specm to me it felt like Wild Quiver was proccing the pet heals.

For Fathom-Lord Karathress, I downed the healer first and just proceeded as normal though when I got cycloned mend pet did the trick keeping my pet alive.

For Solarian I was running MM spec, as mentioned earlier, I pulled her back to the door way to limit the height at which the bomb pushes you up - MD'd to pet and killed the two priest adds, when I was low during the times she ports back, just bandaged myself up.

Hydross was a challenging boss, took me around 6 attempts to understand the mechanics & involves pet movement. I set my pet position beforehand to just behind the boss - pulled the boss, when the debuff got too much, made the pet passive, no attacks on boss & he'd walk back to the set point then FD & MD'd when adds spawned. Picked them off 1 by 1. Went back on boss.

After watching the DK video of him soloing Kael'thas Sunstrider - I'm tempted to try his strategy - Looks doable on hunter.

To those saying Hydross is impossible, I've killed him with an MM spec just by doing the fight like it was done back in Burning Crusade, move him in and out of beams and kill adds when you're % buff gets too high (250%).

What spec, what item level? Whenever I try in MM, my dps isn't enough to kill the healer and it seems impossible to interrupt the heal in time. When I'm in SV, I can't keep my health high enough and I die (or am forced to reset the fight to prevent dying).

Any chance of a video? I am having a very hard time controlling the adds (the 15 melee guys, not the 2 healers) and I'd like to know how you're doing that.

I tried that, in P2 seven weapons with 200k health show up, and in P3 the four advisors, also with 200k health. The problem here is that P3 doesn't start when the weapons are dead, but after a set amount of time. You'll still have the vast majority of weapons up, while there are also the four advisors with very chaotic abilities and lots of damage. Maybe in 1 or 2 raid tiers higher, when you have enough DPS for the weapons, but right now I doubt we can. Oh, and they fixed the strategy Raegwyn used (killing the advisors all throughout Tempest Keep), there are now doors closing in Kael's room when you attack him, so you're limited to that room, unlike the DK in the video.
Edit: I just remembered that Kael'thas will Mind Control random people, this can't target the tank - in the case of a Death Knight, he'll be the tank, but in the case of a hunter, your pet will be the tank, and you will be targeted by the Mind Control, most likely causing you to either kill your pet, get killed by your pet, or reset the fight.

Last of all, someone managed to solo Anub'rekhan (Naxx10)! Here's the video link, he did it in about ilvl360 gear.

He didn't use FD to reset the add, which makes it lots harder, but more 'fair' imo.

Its not like its hard to solo Anub'rekhan 10man or am I missing something?
I soloed him easily with blue lvl 85 gear. Feign death when the adds spawn will make them despawn, rest tank & spank. The dmg you take is easily healable with chimera shot and spirit bond.

Sofar I'm stuck on 5 bosses in Naxx 10: Noth, Heigan, Loatheb, Anub'rehkan and Sapphiron. Anybody managed to kill more? Need a new challenge

I have down anub few week ago, and i think this strat isn't really good, when the add pop, i prefer FD to reset him, like morogrim, and don't need a 360 gear, do this with 330 gear

... How could I have been so stupid. I've tried so freaking hard to kill Anub'rekhan but the adds keep messing everything up. Thanks for pointing out this very, very obvious tactic.

@Vyruz: Exactly what I managed to kill (minus Anub, but I'll get that bastard the next time I log in xD), but if you really want a challenge, try something that hasn't been soloed yet! What makes the boss after Anub'rekhan so hard? The 'enrage' for which you need to kill the adds one by one?

Today I managed to solo Grand Widow Faerlina 10man ( the enrage boss after Anub :P )
I killed her at my first try, definatly tricky but very doable.
Just kill one of her followers when she enrages (every 45 sec), so you have 5x 45 sec = 4:25 min to kill her ( 2.2million HP).

little screenie as proof (I didnt fraps the fight since I didnt expect to kill her at my first try, hehe).
I know she is still alive here, but as you can see I've still 38 sec to kill her at this point (better than nothing)

- I'm having two weeks off from work coming up next week, so I'll try get a video going - I fail at frapsing though for some bizarre reason.

In answer to your questions - my armory is pretty much up to date with the gear I have. As for Ilvl it's around 356. I did the all of SSC but Lady V as MM. For Anub, when you get impaled, hit Disengage before hitting the floor to avoid falling dmg and FD when the add pops. if the add stays, MD to your pet & burn it down with Multishot MD when the small adds pop. In p2 of Sunstrider - I tried before watching the DK vidoe & was able to burst down 3/7 of the weapons. I kept the staff for the stun immunity as it was a right old PiTA but that DK has better AoE

Edited post for clarification

Thanks for the tip on Anub, but now that I know that I should FD for the add (still facepalming at myself cause I didn't think of that myself xD), he was very easy, I knew about the Disengage trick and managed to kill him in MM on my first try =P
Then I went on to Grand Widow Faerlina, died in SV, but managed to kill her the first time I tried MM - I was doing about 7,2k dps (not as much as Vyruz, but still enough), wasn't very hard honestly... Then I came here to brag anyway and saw that someone already posted about it, and with a screenshot (which is more than I've got =P), should've thought of that. My tactic was letting my pet attack every add for a few seconds in the start so he'd have 'real' aggro instead of MD aggro, then help with the boss, and I'd FD every minute or so to reset my aggro from Mending my pet. The enrage hits pretty hard, but I topped off my pet right before it, then when she enraged, I used Harden Carapace (Beetle's Shell Shield) and actually kept dpsing the boss for a few more secs before killing the add.
Now I'm gonna try Maexxna, seems very hard, especially cause the webs might be out of range for my pet to kill. A Chimaera might be able to solve that, but then I won't have the healing of MM cause Chimaeras are exotic.
Edit: my pet can actually reach the webs, so any pet is fine. The only problem so far is the 75% healing debuff, gotta respec for that so I'll try it again later.

I already updated my own post about Kael'thas btw, he has a Mind Control ability that he won't cast on the DK cause he's on top of the threat list, but I'm guessing that it will be cast on a hunter (pet has highest threat). A real shame, with great AoE it should be possible if it wasn't for the MC. Oh, and there are 7 weapons, not 4 =P

Anatheron (40%) + Trash

Trashs :
Pet : Turtle
Spev : SV
Stuff : Hero + 2T5
Strat : Just AOE, and focus banshee ( debuff -50% hit )

Anatheron :
Pet : Turtle
Spec : BM
Stuff : Hero
Strat : Anatheron down 40%, just heal pet and dps when i'm not stun. I have noticed several times that feign death when the inferno appears, it disappears.

I think with a core hound ( BL ), few "chance" with inferno, this boss can be down.

Tbh, I've tried it myself and I really doubt it. Why BM spec for the boss though, wouldn't SV be better because of the DPS? I don't think BM spec + Corehound is better than SV spec, but feel free to prove me wrong =P Also, what caused you to end the fight, the enrage timer or taking too much damage?

I've tried BM and SV, with the 10s stun, i think BM is better, i don't really dps during the fight. I'm dead because my pet died during a stun .

Dafft: May I ask how you did on Lady Vashj in SSC? Also some small explanations on your tactics for each boss would be appreciated.

Edit: I just did Hydross and Morogrim Tidewalker.
Hydross took 12minutes and when he died my pet had just died and I had 20% hp left and spammed everything I had. His 2minutes of enrage did hurt some. Next time I will not be in his Poison phase as long, but instead move to the Frost phase as soon as that debuff and adds are dead.

Tidewalker was a piece of cake. But Guess he can gett messy if you get bad luck and murlocks come at the same time as you get into that bubble? If they go for Pet I mean if you cannot use Feigh Death soon enough.

I just reread my post - I actually meant to say 5/6 SSC - I tried Lady V - and although the adds are 1 shot - there's too many to control reliably at this point

I do not think you will be able to solo Lady Vashj ever, unless they change the way the encounter works.

To break her bubble you need to use the tainted core at the pillars surrounding her... But you can't move once you pickup a core, so there is no way to get it to her.

Unless something has changed that I haven't heard about.
