World first Algalon solo

[Vampurity]

Whoa, he must've really wanted that title.

[zingar]

awesome man. didnt read it all yet but i have a quick question.

you mention that hunters are maybe the only class that can solo but i didnt understand exactly why. did you mean because the pet stays on the other plane? if so then why cant other classes with pets do the same? (locks, dks)

[Kerain]

Congratulations! Very cool

[Deleted]

The Phase Punch debuff throws you in the Black Hole realm at five stacks and gives you a dot for 10 seconds or until you leave it, either by waiting 10 seconds or by Algalon casting Big Bang. The pet, however, cannot go in that realm without me, so it just gets the dot for 10 seconds. A DK or Warlock would have to tank with their pets to accomplish this, while doing about 22.5k dps to beat the enrage timer, and I don't see how that is possible in this expansion.

Very well done. I would have thought that the first one to solo this would be a Death Knight - I am glad to have been showed that Hunters can solo non-gimmicky bosses as well. Super congratulations to you sir!

gj again on the kill

[Sunnydee]

I spent nearly two days of doing nothing but Algalon attempts

Isnt he only able to fight 1hour per reset?...

[Thyranne]

Isnt he only able to fight 1hour per reset?...

Not anymore. You don't even need a key to open his room.

[Sanctioned]

Isnt he only able to fight 1hour per reset?...

No, he was changed a bit back to be unlimited time.

Making it look so simple, while it being such a tricky fight, is the true greatness of the vid, WP op.

This is very impressive, congratulations !

[Bassch]

Really nice job . And I still see some people fail doing Algalon in a group =P.

[General_Typhus]

Superb. The micromanagement that required would intimidate a grandmasters SC2 player.

Very good job!

Haha, I doubt that :P I'm a master level zerg myself but I haven't really played since I started wow again. None of my real life friends play SC2 but plenty play WoW, so SC2 gets boring

[Ozziee]

Very impressive indeed. Congratulations !

[Djuntas]

Very nice, hope you get that frontpage. Making it look so simple, end was great.
