Anzu himself was pretty easy to be honest, but time stuff wrong when you are clearing your way, and you might find your poor pet dying a few times :p

Call the pet to you once Anzu goes immune, and just stand there and wait. You and the pet might get stunned for a bit, but it wont hurt you that much and the second your out of the stun it will thunderstomp. :)

Moonlost! Thanks so much for working that out for me. I followed you guide, adding in feign death/skip mob combos in as well (especially those raven guards, they HURT). Overall it was a little messy, had trouble with aggro with the mobs Anzu spawns, but they hardly did any damage to me and my worm was easy to keep up. Successfully killed him and all I got was a belt :P

I made a run to Anzu yesterday, and having not read about it being possible to skip Darkweaver Syth, I just plowed straight through him. I popped BW and trinkets, and he went down before the first round of adds had spawned in fully. :)

Made a mess of one of the first trash pulls where I managed to get myself MC'd though! >.<

(Sorry for the belated reply)
I'm happy to have been able to help :)

I'm kicking myself for not thinking of FDing past mobs though XD. As my DK can't really do anything to skip past mobs, I've always just fought thought them.

Well, I wish you the best of luck, hope your Raven drops for you soon :D

Yep, whoops, sorry about that XD. I amaze myself with my bad typos sometimes.

Thinking of trying for anzu on my druid as well now. Especially since my DK doesn't need her help to summon. Kitteh form makes getting though the place so much quicker.

What I do to solo:

* First, make sure it's set to Heroic. (This means you need the Lower City Honored key).

* Once you're in, if you know the pulls, you can dismiss pet, run through mobs to a clear area (with Deterrance on once you're in the mobs) and then feign death. DO NOT stand up until all the mobs are reset and -totems are dead!!-. This means if you accidentally aggro a Time-Lost Controller and can't see the mobs, don't stand up for a couple minutes :D Otherwise, the totem WILL put you back into combat, and the mobs will aggro again--call pet, quickly, if this happens. When all is clear, stand up, wait out Feign cd, and repeat.

* You can alternatively clear the entire place easily with a Tenacity pet, probably with a good Ferocity even (I'd imagine a SB would be win for this). However, the Controllers spawn a totem that WILL force you to kill your pet, so be ready to shoot them as soon as they come up. I generally skip a pull, do some mobs, skip a pull etc. I may do a pull-by-pull later on for people.

* You can skip much of the dungeon. By holding to the walls on the left (dismiss pet in advance) you can easily skip the first boss. There is a circle pattern on the floor-stay out of that and you're fine. The rooms you will have to do (unless you want to risk death) include the second room with packs of small birds. You will need to clear the first pack of birds; you can get to Anzu after them with a Deterrance + Feign run (feign after the 2 Ravenguards but out of Anzu's range).

* To deal with these small bird packs--and Anzu's birds--send pet, misdirect, and then Trap Launcher an Explosive trap under them. Then use Multi-shot. You will want to Feign when you see Anzu popping his Paralyzing Screech or whatever--he usually spawns the birds just after. If you do get aggro, you can Deterrance, but they really don't hurt much--and sometimes, some of them don't even aggro, and you can keep whaling on Anzu after a moment--they die automatically iirc.

* When Anzu is dead, you can either hearth out or you can clear Terokk, the last boss, which is just behind him. This boss is quite easy. Then, the exit is down to the left and straight across the next room. Be aware that there will still be uncleared trash here unless you're doing a full clear for rep or w/e.

no bug this bird raptor thing is being made fair (hated how druids were the only ones to get it theyd usually go by themselves or with someone and ur chances of getting the mount were 50% if they won they usually quit and its dejavu all over untill u win it)

Not all druids are like this- and it keeps me from getting pestered to do runs for people just to summon Anzu, I quite like this as I do not want him on my druid ironically- I want him on my hunter and pally.

Before the change i was able to solo most of the dungeon on my paladin, and it was a struggle for my hunter- but now it seems to be harder for my pally.. and since my hunter is tanking ZG easier than my pally ever did, solo too mind, then well it's gonna be a walk in the park.

Just bring a worm for the extra burst I say.

That's how I feel too! rofl XD

It's Baron Rivendare all over again (noooooooooooooo!!!!!!)

Anyways, it's not hard run at all. I just go in with my spirit beast, toss up Mend Pet/Spirit Mend and in about 10 mins usually get to the boss. At about 8 runs today, so hopefully today I get lucky.

Headless Horseman then Anzu run, that makes up my days now D: At least til Cataclysm.
Now, to figure out a way to Kael'thas....

Wait... are you saying you are doing Sethekk Halls 8 times in a day? I thought Anzu was only in heroic mode? :?

EDIT: ok, read your post again - pretty sure you meant today would be the 8th run! nvm :)

For some unknown reason the dungeon difficulty keeps resetting for me, and I come up to Anzu's room only to find it full of trash mobs. Has happened two or three times for me now. >.<
