So now that we got a pet that we can, I tried to tackle a few things to see how well we can solo old content.
spec
Note that this is my PvP spec. For a fulltime solo spec, I would probably switch around some talents, but this seems to work nice for now.
The idea is to pop MI with the pet out and nuke as hard as possible. After 30 seconds, pop invis so that the elemental keeps tanking.
Things I solo'ed:
Thekal in ZG
Bloodlord Mandorik in ZG
HC: Underbog, Steamvaults, Slave Pens, Sethek halls (including Anzu) and Black moras
The biggest issue is that the water elemental has a mediocre agro generation so it won't take long after invis to retake agro. The problem here is that you pretty much need to do enough damage or he'll simply die but frost armour, increased base armour and stamina seems to help a lot. This is only an issue in raids as bosses in TBC heroics get blown up before MI runs out.
Are there any other people who have tried to tackle old content as frost?
I'm planning to attempt Garr and Baron Gedon in MC tonight to see how well it goes on harder content.
