Soloing Old Content

How was Marrowgar 25 Heroic soloed? He bone spikes during the bonestorm on 25 man even if you're the tank. Or was it done as a Goblin/Worgen?

I might be missing something with the Goblin/Worgen part as I'm not seeing how that makes a difference. But I know he doesn't bone spike during bonestorm if you are the only person there, so perhaps dismissing your pet right before each bonestorm will help. As that makes it so you don't. I've solo'ed it on my DK as Blood and didn't get spiked. Then me (on paladin) and shaman friendly duo'ed it and he didn't bone spike at all.

So not sure what's causing you to get bone spiked during the fight. In order to avoid spikes with 2 people as long as both are in front of him when he casts it you won't get a spike that way as the other person takes the OT strikes at that point and is immune to it.

I think it's because Bone Spike Graveyard has a race parameter in its targetting for some reason, so if you play a race which didn't exist in Wrath he can't spike you.

Ah ok. If that's the case then it makes sense. I was thinking in terms of racials and was drawing a blank. Though if the other races are having issues with spikes they can dismiss their pet as bonestorm is about to hit leaving them at the only one and would negate the spike itself from spawning.

No, that does not work on 25 heroic. That's what this discussion is about.

Why doesn't it work on 25 heroic? I've solo'ed it on a Blood DK and never got spiked during Bonestorm. When I duo'ed it with a shammy he was never spiked if he was standing in front of Marrowgar before he cast it, but would get it during Bonestorm. This was all done on 25 Heroic so I'm not seeing how dismissing your pet wouldn't cause the same thing when Bonestorm is going on.

Marrowgar will spike you on 25 Heroic during bonestorm no matter if you are the tank or not. Doesn't matter if you have a pet out, have no pet out, tank the whole thing yourself, anything. For this reason he is unsoloable unless you are a Worgen, Goblin, or able to kill him before Bone Storm. This is common knowledge and has been tried and tested many times.

So, if you have trully soloed it on 25 Heroic, then you are or were a Goblin/Worgen.

I don't, never did it with me. The only goblin class I have is a hunter/shaman and neither have done ICC at all. My Death Knight was Blood Elf. I'll go back in later this week and see again. Just never really went back in after the axe dropped.

Edit: After googling I might've gotten lucky the one time I did go in there and it bugged and didn't do it

Even with that being the case you can still have your pet macro'ed to target the spike and attack it to break it as hunters do

Paladin telling Warlocks how to solo things. Not sure what to say.

Because a paladin is my only class? Really you want to base the comments because I play a certain class? lol

If it were this easy, don't you think someone would have gone and done it by now?

You're in a thread full of Warlocks that have solo'd Ragnaros, do you really think they're all too stupid to handle Heroic 25 Marrowgar? Why argue with them when they're telling you that it simply can't be done yet?

Never fly above her. When she goes down for Molting, stay underneath her. Don't fly at the start until she stops Molting.

[darkminaz]

ah that was it :P kay

Did The Lich King in 25 Normal.
Not much different from the 10m version. Did it as afflic/Soul Link with the 2PT5 bonus, 456ilvl. The enrage is not an issue (3min to spare) but it will be one in 25HC.

Working on Blood Lord in ZG right now. Decapitate hits for 15 million and I'm trying to survive it with DA, DB, UR, Fury Ward, Engineering Belt Bubble, Void Walker Sac Last Stand, Gyphed Health Stone and Dark Regeneration. I have Aura of Enfeeblement on the boss, and an 83% reduction in physical damage taken, 30% from DA with Dark Soul popped and 53% from Armor. I also have the 15% reduced magic damage taken from DA for the Dark Bargain ticks.

He does the first Decapitate when there's 8 seconds left on reanimating the Raptor. So, at 15 seconds, I Dark Bargain, and at 9 seconds I pop Fury Ward, Unending Resolve, and the Engineering Belt Bubble. One second later, the hit comes, and DB falls off right after. I then Sac the Voidwalker and take a short Gateway to drop threat to my Doom Guard. Pop Dark Regen and HS together, Last Stand and another Fury Ward right after the first tick. At that point, Life Drain needs to help me survive 6 more ticks, with 2 more Fury Wards later on.

By my math, I should be taking 156k ticks from DB, before adding in the Fury Ward and Engineering Absorbs. For some reason, its more like 350k. I'm not great at math, and I'm not sure how the damage reduction from 58% Armor and 30% Physical damage and 40% from UR affects the hit after its been reduced by 20% by Enfeeblement. Any ideas?

Edit: I just thought of using the Stay of Execution (Firelands tanking Trinket) to extend the damage and mitigate it further... I'll see if it helps.

Edit 2: Before anyone posts saying "Why not just zerg him down", killing him isn't the goal. The goal is taking the hit.

Scratch all of that. Bloodletting starts right after the 4th Dark Bargain tick and makes this impossible.

Assuming you can make it 18sec into the fight (assuming Decapitate at 10 sec and then DB time) it would take 267465 dps to kill him. Not totally uncalled for with the coming tier.

A note about Bloodletting. If you can manage to get past the DB dot Blootletting cannot kill you. The tooltip says 50% of current health not total health. Back in Cata our healers would have fun freaking pugs out but just not healing them cause the healers new they would live.

The issue being that you still have 4 more ticks of DB once Blood Letting starts. I was at 320k health when it started, and it ticked for half my current health, as its meant to, but it ate my Fury Ward. The next DB tick was a 90k overkill.

[Harsesis]

Hmm, that would mean the dps requirement would be somewhere around 343852 dps. Definitely possible by expac's end, but I can see why you would want to try now before gear trivializes it in a year.

That doesn't change the dps requirement at all. If you DB at the last second before Decapitate, you still have 18~ seconds to kill the boss regardless of Blood Letting.

[Harsesis]

You are correct. It was 4am when I posted and math is hard at 4am.
