Are there any places to grind level 85 elites? I'm up to ilvl 354 and I can solo quite a lot of different things. I'd like to spend some time grinding elites for BOEs and stuff. Any ideas?

if ur survival, plus 2 parts tier 6 (w/e is the one that heals you)
i wouldnt be surprised if you could solo quite a bit of heroic instances, like the guy that solo'd all of H VP prenerf to trap cc, and prebuff to the bosses

I been soloing as BM but mainly level 80 heroics and old raids. I am gonna start soloing regular stonecore. I need a better BM rotation. I am not versed at all in survival tree but I should be using it I guess.

I solo'd regular SC a couple of times. Not fun now that Millhouse just runs back and forth between all the packs thus forcing you to kill them all. Takes quite a while.

So what's the best way to solo normal stonecore now? Do you take out the 2nd pack first then kill Millhouse? Or do you have to take Millhouse through every pack?

Best way? Find a buddy to help kill the three packs before first boss.

Otherwise yes you have to take them on in order now because Millhouse is now tied to the trash packs. It's doable, just harder.

It's still really not that hard, just slow. I am stubborn and don't want to respec from MM/BM to Surv (for the sleep) and I still do it fine with a little pet micro-managing. The damage is not hard to heal through as long as you tranq & manage aggro.
