Who says hunters can't solo MoP bosses?

[Grand Crusader Absalom]

How can u guys be so picky. Its a solo. He had a buff for a quarter of the fight
Its not like every other mione and raegwynn out there got outside buffs too

[Tisane]

This got me thinking. It's around 3 months(?) ago a lock solo'd him. What in gods name is Durendil doing nowadays?

I think he's slacking at the moment his last solo activity was 2-3 weeks ago when he soloed Ragnaros 25 Heroic. Looking at his armory activity he has spend quite a few days questing and slacking afterwards good ol' slacking dwarves.

Trying to discredit his hard earned kill over some petty term "solo" is mean. Put in your effort and do the same, then come back and u can make a claim.

I'm not downplaying his skills or effort, but claiming it to be a WF Solo is simply not true.

I can probably not do it my self, but why does that have to be a requirement for judgement? Never understood that logic.

[Mepeteatu]

Regardless of "legit world first or not"...

Nice kill.

[Shakari]

You're right a solo is a solo. 100% of the damage towards Feng being mine and the healing towards me being mine and mine only. The arena closing with just myself and Feng inside it and no one else. You can disagree with what is defined as solo; but there is a very fine line that hasn't been crossed; what I've done previously solo-wise speaks for itself about my credibility in the solo'ing community and I'll leave it at that.

Really the definition of solo is killing something on your own with zero assistance from anyone else which includes buffs etc, not saying what you did isn't good it is good, but its not really a solo as you used a buff which HAD to be provided by another player which increased your damage, and without it you would not have killed the boss.

While being slightly picky its still not solo'ing if you receive any external help in any way.

I agree myself heh, He's done a good job, I could not do what he's done with help or not my hunter has not got the gear but solo is solo ie one person and what they bring and nothing more.

[Santti]

Good work.

(I have to agree with it not being solo though. He is still there during the boss fight, helping you, even if only in the form of a buff)

[Pool of the Dead]

Nice work dude

Don't worry about the whingers in the thread saying it isn't a Solo, It very much is.

I await seeing more from you.

Not really. Outside help is still outside help therefore not a solo. By the OPs definition - solo is all damage and healing done by one person. The rogue contributed damage by giving him a buff even if he died partway through. Great kill but not a solo.

[Battlebeard]

This is impressive.

But it is NOT solo, so please don't brand it as that. You can't take credit for this until you kick that Rogue in your group.

[crooklyn]

world first rogue solo

all he had to do was sit outside and spam feint ez boss ez life

Well i'm going to go ahead and discredit 95% of "solo's" I see from other people such as Raegywn or Mionelol which are always hailed as "GREAT SOLO" kill videos, even though I see they use buffs from different people aswell.




Notice the Power-Word: Forts and Mark of Wilds.

Oh dear seems noone has solo'ed anything ever!

Stop being so pedantic.

I would go as far and say it is even more impressive than a lot of solo's since he isn't even using Mark of the Wild of Fort, which are 5% Stats (which would give more dps over an entire fight than the attack speed buff) or 10% Stam.

[Nemesiz]

I'm not sure on this one, but couldn't Fortitude & Mark be achieved by inscription / drums or something like that? Where you get a lesser version of the buff.

Fortitude is from a Runescroll made from inscription.
Mark of the Wild is possible to get in the molten front.

The buff on Sha of Fear was actually 'disregarded' since he had the buff you get from wiping once on HC, the haste buff.


In either way they are ALONE in the instance during the boss fight.

Runescroll of Fortitude III
Drums of Forgotten Kings

On the sha of fear:
http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...1#post21617635

also, removing Sha from being done on the sheet until someone does it without the lei shi buff. didn't notice it at first but that's a big no :/

A similar reasoning applies to why I never have symbiosis when soloing anything. You're welcome to use buffs and claim they don't change anything, but many of these people you're claiming use them all the time would outright disagree with you (and, you know, we're the ones who actually know what consumables are in game ).

What is with the Priest in the group in the Stone Guards fight then?

hmm yeah.

[Socialhealer]

snip

learn to use scrolls, using the contents of your bag is perfectly fine, but well done for openly admitting you're quite clueless about solo'in in a thread about solo'in.

The offline person you see in the video? You do realize that's only to make sure that you can enter the raid without having the trash soft-reset every x hours...

[GKLeatherCraft]

No one has ever said they can't, and that wasn't one, but eithsr way it is still impressive, well done

priest? it's a grey offline box, that could be any class....../facepalm
