Looking for some old content raid help please

Unread post by Iowawolf »

I have been running old raids in hopes of getting the mounts and or pets from them yet keep coming across the fact with quite a few I need help such as The Eye, some say the final guy is soloable as a blood DK but no matter how hard I try I keep dying another I have yet to solo is Black Temple also yet to get the achievement, also the Eye Of Eternity I can't seem to solo, I am able to solo the Vaults but keep dying on the frost giant which is quite funny I guess, Onyxia and Karahzan are very easy to solo but if anyone wishes to join wouldn't mind also am looking for help in going into Dragon Soul and Firelands and doing those for the achievements back in the day my gear was so low wasn't even funny. If anyone wishes to come along for the ride and the fun feel free to add my Battle Tag at Iowawolf#1653 make sure though to tell me who you are and thank you.

What lvl/ilvl are you?

I'm afraid I won't be able to join, but as someone that keeps soloing the above on a weekly basis I have some tips:

1. The Eye/Kael: I use a "petless" MM build for this one - no pet-reliant skills and talents, no summoned companions etc. I use a serpent, but really any pet will do here. Make sure to take the Chimera Shot glyph and the Exhilaration talent, and bring a bandaid or two.
The first 2 phases (solo generals and weapons) shouldn't be a problem. The most dangerous phase of the fight is the 3rd one, with all the generals at once. Focus on the lady first, and be prepared to take a lot of punishment and almost full-time CC. Try to get your back the the wall so you won't get tossed around to death. Exhilarate when in need. Your pet shouldn't get CCed and will nom on the generals for you.
When they're down and Kael himself becomes active, dismiss your pet IMMEDIATELLY, so he won't use his MC and reset the fight. He shouldn't be much of a threat himself, the healing of glyphed Chimera should be enough to keep you alive. Kill nixes, kill eggs, pewpewpew. When he flies up to break the window, you get more than enough time for a bandaid should you need it. Then stay close to the floor and keep pewpewing till you get your loot :)

2. EoE/Malygos: same "petless" MM build as above, just because for the most important phase of the fight your pet won't be able to do anything. You can have your pet out, of course, but it probably won't be able to hold aggro, will get dismissed on whirlwind and won't be able to do a thing in the critical moment of this fight.
Phase 1 is pretty simple: pewpew him untill he reaches 50%, but DO NOT use any cooldowns and make sure to stay high on focus. That's because the critical for this fight is the intermission between phase 1 and 2, when he takes off, but you still have some time before he becomes untargetable and phase 2 starts. To maximize this time, try to push him down to 50% just as he starts his whirlwind atack, which he has to finish before he can take off. Burn all your CDs, pray to the gods of rng for procs and do as much damage to him as you can here.
The 2nd phase is simple again - just kill adds and that's it.
Then comes the "dreadful" phase 3 ;) As soon as you get a drake under your butt spam 3 to stack up the selfheal. When Mally becomes targetable again fly spiralling circles around him and keep doing the 1-1-2-3 rotation. Do your best not to let the stacking dot fall, but if you stick to the rotation it shouldn't, ever. The lenght (and thus difficulty) of this phase depends on how well you did on the intermission.

3. Vaults/frost giant (I don't remember the name either :P ) - dying to him is no laughing matter, don't worry.
I take him on in my standard BM self-regen soloing build with a dps SB pet. You have to kill him before he kills you. Burn all your CDs at the start and show him what burst means. Kill the adds asap, heal your pet, have your pet heal you. You won't be able to outheal him, so don't even try a long-time defensive strat, but that bit of heals may just buy you enough time.

All of those should be very easy for your ilvl and the fact that your a DK. Myrr has some good suggestions but I would also add before I try soloing content I look up youtube videos to see how others do it.

I can solo Maly before he can even do anything, keeping him at 1% until phase 3. On kael I just save the BW and I hit everything on him before he can do much and it usually is so much damage he slips into the next phase super fast and as long as there is a serpent sting on him he will just go to the last phase and the MC wears off. If I have time I would love to help on some but I also need the mount on a few of them so it might be a little bit. If you are using a DK you can avoid all the mechanics as long as you don't summon pets.

lol edit:

I should probably give you my tag so that you can find me...(duh)
