Can Warriors Solo?Follow

Although I don't play a warrior myself, my guild does have a warrior (admitedly he's quite well geared) who is currently soloing the outlands heroic instances for rep. He can't solo molten core without a healer but is two manning it whenever he can.

Pretty much what Tab said. I've done a lot of old content solo out of boredom, though I haven't messed with it much since around Naxx farming days just before Ulduar and a bit into Ulduar. I still go into MC to try and get the one binding I don't have each week though. A list of what I've done:

Ony (Classic)
MC (Full clear)
AQ20 (Everything except for the flying boss and Osi)
ZG (Everything but the Hexer)
AQ40 (I knocked out the first 3 I think)
Kara (Everything but Prince. P3 tore me up with the SW:P and I never bothered going back)

I'm sure any class that can heal themself as they fight, survive longer. But I have no doubt in my mind that Warrior can accomplish many great things.

Set up some goals, maybe take some potions with you and even use first aid... No shame in stunning your enemies to then use first aid, hehe.

Good luck tho :)

I forgot about posting in here. Maybe you'll come back and see this post, maybe not.

Gehennas I put on some SR gear. The curse is a shadow spell, and most of the issue with the fight. His shadow bolts also hurt, since they obviously can't be avoided. I don't remember how much I had, but SR gear meant the curse took longer to go on. That plus moving out of rain of fire immediately did it. It was definitely one of the harder fights I did solo.

Rags I'm pretty confident I wore a little bit of FR on, and used warbringer to full effect. You can live through a little bit of lava damage as well, just make sure you don't hit the rock ledge. The fall damage hurts, and will end the fight quickly. Also, make sure to bring extra weapons. His weapon melt hurts. I forgot about it the first time I tried him and ended up having no weapon to swing. Bring a few extra and you'll be fine.

Skeram, the first boss...he was a pain in the ***. Stacked NR, I can't remember how much, but it was a fairly substantial amount, around 200. There were two methods to doing him, and neither was particularly fun. You tank him on the middle platform, and the initial phase is pretty boring. He hits light, so there isn't much damage. The splits are where it gets interesting.

At 75, 50, and 25 Skeram splits into 3 different Skerams. In the initial form, you dealt with this by having a tank stationed at each platform to pick up Skeram because of his earth shock ability. If nobody picked the clones or the real Skeram up, they would spam this on the raid, and you were dead. Now, you can deal with this in two different ways. When Skeram splits, the real Skeram will come right back to you. The clones, on the other hand, will not agro onto you from the upper platforms. So, theoretically, you could get lucky and have Skeram pop right in front of you every time, and the clones would just stand there looking pretty doing nothing. The odds of this, however, are pretty low.

In most cases, what happens is Skeram will split, you end up with one clone in front of you, and Skeram running back down to you spamming earth shock as he goes, dealing ~2k damage each time. Wipe out the clone, and then you have two options. You can just burn Skeram and rely on luck again if you want, but if Skeram splits and the real one ends up on a platform with a clone Skeram that did not agro, it WILL cause that clone to agro, and you will end up with 2 Skeram clones and one real Skeram, and you will be looking at a spam of around 4-6k damage on you. This will kill you quickly.

The way around this was just to take out the clone, ignore Skeram and move to the other clone, kill it, and then take Skeram back down to the original platform, do what you needed to do to regen health without knocking him into a split again, and then wash, rinse, and repeat 3 more times. It isn't incredibly hard once you get it down, but figuring it out initially definitely made me want to punch something.
