Soloing is 'dead' and yet more alive then ever in 5.1

[Ookami.kun]

Possibly a dumb question, but are they going to get rid of the 'Raid' requirement for these raid instances so you don't have to group up with someone to beable to enter? I wouldn't mind trying to solo some of these instances for transmog gear, but lately trying to find someone willing to stay in a raid group for me to run though the dungeons has gotten harder. If they got rid of the requirement of having to group it would be easier. Thanks.

Yes, every pre-MOP raid no longer requires raid groups in 5.1

I fail to see where soloing is 'dead'.
They just made Razorgore (which is already soloable, but requires "creative use of game mechanics"), Naj'entus (which is also already soloable -hard but doable) and Viscidus (which is an asbolute pain like no other) easier.

As far as we know, that's all.

(now I'm hoping for Kalecgos to be made soloable. My hunter still hasn't his Thori'Dal...)

I would love to know how Razoregore is soloable on live right now. For science, of course

[Tekkommo]

Good thing imo.

Trying to solo razergore on the PTR right now and its still stupid as ever...

Update: Woot, got him on my 3rd attempt. I sat during the first channel for the whole duration, blowing up eggs. After it broke for the first time, I had to keep letting it go after every 5th egg or so to clear up adds. Ended the egg phase with razoregore at 110k hp or so. He dropped his pet, which makes me think the drop rate is kinda high.

So basiclly, easy as any other boss now?

Yah, if you know what to do and when to do it ahead of time

this might get me to resub

You need priest or paladin nearby for valkyr to summon the npc so I fail to see how that can be considered a solo.

Nope, the npc im talking about is Captain something, forgot his name. He's an alliance soldier that the valkyr on the way to dreamwalker turns undead.

Learn to read, I explained it few posts above...

What makes Gluth and Thaddius hard for you? They're both piss easy in both 10 and 25 player mode o.o Both on a DK and hunter

Naj'entus is also easily doable at level 90. He does not have time to cast the first bubble before he's down, even when doing it as a tank. DPS spec makes it even more easier.

I suppose that Gluth in 25 player mode is considered hard due to his regen.

Anyone tried tried Yogg yet? Just interested if they have changed sanity at all.

Pretty much, its still a somewhat steep dps check.

Dont think they've changed it, however I think it's been done already.

With transmog being available, this change is incredible. I like being able to just do raids alone without having to find people & potentially losing rolls. Great change, I'm looking forward to solo'ing in 5.1

I want Anub 25 man heroic down, solo'd.

Yogg was soloed back in T11.

I started to solo Black Temple a few weeks ago and i didn't really have problems with either High Warlord Naj'entus or Reliquary of Souls, i just burst them down as frost dk ( RoS requires some timing though ), the changes for the other bosses are very welcome , can't wait to try Naxx/ICC 25 etc.

i can solo every single boss in Uld 10 and 25 apart from Thorim, and that got right on my tits, so if they make that mechanic negligible then that makes me a happy camper.

Maybe I'm missing something but Thorim just one shot you if you leave the arena. How can I pull him?

There's a complex way of getting past the gauntlet, but it requires speed boosts and remote aggro (pets/totems/non-channeled aoe on the ground that lasts a few secs) to work...so only certain classes can do it. There's a vid on youtube somewhere showing it, if you do manage to pull the boss it's straightforward though. (even though you're forced to do hard mode)

I should have elaborated. I know Yogg was soloed, but I'm talking about specific changes pertaining to the encounter on the PTR. If they have nerfed or changed the encounter, it probably means Yogg-0 25man might be soloable by multiple classes/specs(I think Mione mentioned she got pretty close on beta).
