To people complaining they didn't make all bosses soloable: be patient. This is only a first step. Let's see how it works out, I hope they will do similar steps to make other bosses soloable in later patches (e.g. C'thun, Gunship, Kalecgos etc).
Did AQ 40 tonight, I actually almost solo'ed Twins, but the adds got out of control for me to manage while switching targets focusing on keeping my pet at max range without moving my self closer or farther away. Any closer they would start healing, any farther my pet would despawn. And as BM, I can keep my pet alive while doing Spell and Physical damage at decent rate, not needing to actually move anywhere, just have to have my pet switch target, and myself switch targets without having my pet budge an inch.
Seen a DK solo Viscidus at 85, doesn't seem to difficult. Save Ghouls and Army for the final shatter. "It seems this fight no longer requires X number of frost attacks in a certain number of seconds during the shatter phase, more of an overall number of PHYSICAL and FROST within X seconds it seems."
Send Pet button is amazing. And Viscidus I've solo'ed twice as a BM hunter with the Chimera pet and dropping snake trap and CD's on Shatters.
Razorgore, I have yet to figure out.
C'Thun, I couldn't do it. My pet kept vanishing when I got ported below.
(Is it "See-thoon" or "Ka-thoon"?)

The first boss of AQ40 (Can't remember his name at the moment) Dropped a companion, and I won it. Mini Mindslayer Mini Mindslayer

Solod the first 3 wings of Naxx 10 for the 3 bosses that drop the new companions. A complete joke. Solod up to (and including) twins easily as well, but I couldn't do the ooze guy. As an elemental shaman I didn't have the hits to kill him after I froze him. BWL I haven't tried to solo the first boss yet since the nerf. I usually just 2 man it with my brother. So for me anyways, other than the ooze guy and the first boss in BWL, everything else is super easy.
There's always Kuh Thun as well.
But yes, kiting Ouro to C'Thun's room means you're dragged out of the stomach after a second or so. You need to have a target macro and insta ranged ability ready to hit the tentacles in that time, but you're out of the stomach before insta death.
You need to run into the middle of C'Thun to continue the fight so you get "thrown out" properly, otherwise things will cease spawning and you won't get stomach munched.
Ex-Mod. Technically retired, they just won't let me quit.
Well, reporting in as warrior, surprisingly with nothing positive to say about aq40. Vek'lor still despawns because I can't damage it so he just despawns instead of dropping loot, and viscidus still isnt soloable because even if I got myself a separate weapon with deathfrost/elemental force I still can't do the melee attacks fast enough. Good fucking game.
Just tried AQ40 as a Frost (2hand) DK. I killed everything beside of C'thun (died ± 2 seconds after I was teleported to the stomach)
I out-dps the heal of the twins ... obliterate on the melee twin and rime procs on the other one ... soul reaper is also working on the melee twin
cheers
So as of this morning:
Went into AQ40 today, soloed Viscidus before I even had a chance to setup my plan of attack (3 attacks to freeze, 3 to shatter), and C'thun didn't 1 shot me in his stomach.Originally Posted by Blizzard Entertainment
So given I soloed Viscidus as a warlock without doing anything special (I think my FG did all 3 melees to shatter him), I think it is safe to say ANY class can solo him now.

How did you get Viscidus to freeze? As a retri paladin I smacked away, but he just will not freeze. C'thun was working like you said though, went inside, didn't get one shot, finished C'thun easily solo.
Put the elemental force enchant on a weapon. You need to do frost damage to freeze him.
For those who have a problem with soloing Viscidus just go too stormpeaks and buy a weapon that does frost damage (the cheapest way).
As for razorgore you need too switch back too adds every 10th egg you destroy or they will zerg it.
Don't sweat the details!!!
screw these bosses..wtb soloable R. of souls.
my friend code...
5241-1925-7760 name toasty
up for battles ...after 10/18/2013
Is only takes 3 melee attacks to shatter the ooze guy? I was using the idea of stepping back and using throw after he is frozen (on a warrior) and it worked fine. Took a bit more than three though.
no oils for sale, no mats at all to make the oils, so yea it could be soloable but it isnt even worth the time to go out and farm the mats to make the damn things in the first place.
Cool you play a dk but try viscidus as a destro lock
