DK solo: Illidan, the Betrayer

[Raegwyn]

As the title says i managed to solo illidan a few days ago
many people said his shadow demon mechanic would never be possible to solo as dk but here i show that this isnt true
so here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBeEcGi7N_8

i really liked the fight and i tried so many things to kill the shadow demons so after a few wipes i skilled desecreation to slow them and it worked with stacking vengeance 2 t10 items and str pot to kill them with a death and decay. after i got them i saw that i had to low dps cause they came a 2nd time at 7% so i respecced glyphed reforged and did anything i was able to do and i managed to kill him like 2 seconds before the 2nd demons would have spawned

difficult: kaelthas niveu (nothing you want to do a 2nd time)
tactic: most tacticchanges /planingtime respeccs i ever had
time: i spent the last 3 weeks on trying him but not that much till last 2 days before the kill

Importent Tricks i used:
/cancelaura Bloodshield at high health to increase vengeance
frost pres + refreshing diseases + dnd before p2 starts (saves 2-3%)
Frost Pres + str trinket + str pot + rune of fallen crusader procc + stacking vengeance + desecreation talent + 2 T10 items (20% more dnd dmg) to kill shadow demons in p4
nuke him to 30% at the moment he starts transforming again to to get him ~ 8% lower before maiev comes cause his transform time tooks pretty long

i hope you enjoy the video

ps: i know a warlock was killed him before but the shadow demons are easier with a cool pet whirlwind so i just wanted to show the dk way of soloing him
pps: i think with the changes of 4.0.6 he should b much easier cause you get a high healing buff while you can have an unholyspecc

nerf dks I guess

[rpgarcher]

I've never done BT, but I do a lot of DK soloing, did you solo the rest of the place, or did you have to get help on some of the trash/bosses?

[Scifix]

Jesus just continues to prove, if raegwynn hasnt done it yet, it most likely cant be done

[Grumar]

any1 remeber when this game didn't have Noob Class....i.i.i mean Hero Class

[Nielah]

nerf dks I guess

And he does it again. Gratz, Raegwyn. You always find some new crazy thing to solo. :3

[Reemix]

Oh how the mighty have fallen.... to your rage :O

You cant solo some of the bosses. The first boss you need at least two people, so you can break his shield and not let him heal himself to full. I was able to solo supremous on my dk at lvl 80. Took 40-45, mins but at least i won.

Needless to say as a dk, raegwynn has been my hero since i first saw his videos, hell of a job and player.

gratuliere digger, nur weiter so very nice

[Ttrain]

What is with all the dk's soloing raidbosses?

[Spectrez]

Nice... epic video. Did I notice t10 shoulders? And... also... You never used your Healthstone!

[Mathris]

I refuse to say anything "can't be solod" as long as you're still playing because as soon as I do you'll have a video up of you destroying it. Much <3 to you.

[Zethras]

Something slightly un-related to the topic, Raeg, does your name mean something in some language?

Also, grats on Illidan and Marrowgar

[Duncanîdaho]

Deathknights.... Illidan's bane since the frozen throne.

Nice job.
