H alys warrior solo

[Drack]

unfortunately no ground mount, but I did finish my meta.

I urge anyone who enjoys soloing to give this boss a try, it is by far the best boss to solo.

[Dossou]

Is this now an accomplishment or something? Mages were doing this at 85.

I also do it on my DK every week.

Um. Mages never did it on heroic.......

However. I do it on normal every week as well lol

Typical blood DK response to a solo thread, "hurr durr dis ez". And yes ONE shadow priest soloed this at 85, who has a SPAMMABLE heal and 90% reduction.

Yes they did?

[Dossou]

Yeah, mages in my guild were doing it.

It's incredibly easy to do on any dot class. Anything with dots as significant portion of their damage hits insane breakpoints on that fight and should have no issues. As Blood I can't do enough damage in 1 air phase, so I just tank the boss and do a 2nd air phase. I can almost do enough damage as Frost but I'd have to reforge all my shit to crit instead of haste. Getting the boss to like 20% before ground phase with haste.

please show me a SS of you tanking the worms and casters for 50 seconds before another air-phase, and then another one with the heroic boss dead.

[Mirri]

Lol you got called out. I want to see the SS too.

[Dossou]

I do it on normal, sorry for the misunderstanding.

On heroic I could probably just do the same thing everyone else does, fly to Zimbabwe and heal through the damage.

Didnt think warriors could do it, now i wanna try

What ilvl do you have ?
Any special talents ?

492ilvl, talents are just the usual raid talents only important ones are blood bath and second wind. You want to really push dps as you have to do 65m in two air phases. Also hitting every single ring is important to maximise damage and allows you to spam heroic strike constantly once you reaches about 8-10 stacks this is important as you need to spam it A LOT to reach the threshold of about 120kdps over the whole fight (9 min 10 sec is about the maximum). You want to be switching to defensive stance on the fire storms and pop die by the sword on the first as well, and on the second one just use defensive stance again.

Now the tricky part, 60 seconds after the second fire storm the boss begins to land, as it does it's speech emote, count to around 7 and then head just a little bit out of the area and heroic leap down so you take no fall damage, switch to defensive stance, and at 80% pop die by the sword again at 35% pop shield wall and then pop rallying cry about at the end of shield wall. then you run up Ryo's platform and when she gets up to you and pushes you back, heroic leap instantly back to her and grab the feathers and repeat, now you HAVE to kill here in this air phase which is quite a requirement which requires proper use of CDs and weaving heroic strike into your usual rotation as well as in execute phase as the rage gained from the haste is unreal.

Glyphs that I found best are as follows

Shield wall - this glyph is needed to survive the outside damage otherwise you die. which is why you have to do it in two air phases
Blood thirst - this helps with healing in the air after fire storms as you want to be as close to 100% when you leave the area to be able to survive
Recklessness - a damage increaser as it last 18 seconds of capped out crit if you are below 25%.

The hardest part was tweaking dps and surviving the outside as the ticks get up to about 50k a second which is quite hard to survive through as a warrior.
Overall a very fun fight and well worth the 5 hours of warrior theory crafting I put in.

I am actually curious as to weather any other warriors have done this

Calling me out on how easy it is, saying you do it every week, on normal, lol.

I could do it on heroic with the exact same strat as you, but I don't care about claiming a solo kill for my class on a boss that has been soloed before and isn't even hard. I'm only there for the mount, why would I make it harder for myself?

Grats on your Heroic Gara'jal kill as well, lol

Oh no, a hardcore raider who hasn't even killed sha of fear H calling me out on my current progression. Watch out we got a badass who couldn't take a screenshot over here.

Edit: Grats on 1750 2s let's see if you can push 1800 :L

[Raxxed]

I've wanted the mount since FL was released, just never had the motivation to farm it.

Guess i'll start farming it, thanks for the thread.

You act like I'm in Blood Legion or vodka and raid 16 hours/day.

I raid normal raid hours. You just suck.

I also don't care about arena. I've never played it seriously. Ever.

I raid 9 hours a week, and no I rank in the top 30 on a majority of fights, Mr. Hero

Congrats, I rank top 10 on a majority of fights. I also play 25 man, which is significantly harder to rank on than 10 man.

Great your ranking. Its easier to rank on 25, as the sample is smaller

Better players play on 25, gear level is also higher
