Kripparrian walked so this guy could run.

😂😂😂😂

[@Bepples]

Great video! It's worth noting that the fire pillar is a 1 shot even at 85 so spending much time in LoS of the boss is a big risk since you might get disoriented into the fire pillar.

[@Scorpob]

i forgot to mention that... at 85 you actually have a high chance of the attack missing but if it does hit you it is a one shot. Thanks for the comment :D

[@Bepples]

@@Scorpob I got one shot by it on an attempt but it overkilled by about 15k at 100% HP, so with next tier's gear it may be survivable. Also Bestial Wrath breaks the disorient.

[@alexanderm8892]

Thanks for a great video, it worked :) It's all about finding that perfect spot behind the statue, and staying in range so your keep doesn't lose the staff buff. I recommend using /sw (the stopwatch) and click start every time you hear him say Bow to my will! or Obey me!, then move into LoS once the timer is close to 30 seconds.

[@Scorpob]

Looks like Blizzard just fixed the Staff on this encounter to finally work correctly! So changes now that the bug is fixed: In Phase 2, pick up the "Staff of Disintegration", equip AND USE the item. this will make you completely immune to all the stun, conflag and disorient effects through all phase 3, 4 and 5. So the remote toy debuff, the mage's conflag, AND Kael'thas' disorient effects are all completely nullified by this and it should now be a far more forgiving and easier encounter! If you want to see a video of a kill with the staff, check here:kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6mYhJiOnr1naZIsi=MHmoj8QlYtJvprK5 kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6mYhJiOnr1naZIsi=MHMOJ8QLYTJVPRK5

[@lochvast1180]

Mind control still needs to be dodged tho?

[@Scorpob]

@@lochvast1180 it makes you immune to stun, conflagration and disorient effects. So yes, you still need to move him near the statue and Los behind for MC

[@lochvast1180]

@Scorpob ok thanks. And this is really good stuff btw. I had assumed this and BWL were impossible for hunters to solo.

[@chickncz]

Just did it first try. Thanks a lot for this guide!! Also i thought hes not gonna do the disorient in last phase so i switched back to my normal weapon but he desoriented, so i swapped back to the staff but forgot to use it and then got desoriented again haha :D

[@Pwnification]

I remember watching Raegwyn solo this on Blood DK back in og Cata. His strat was cool. It involved clearing a ton of trash though, but you had to as a melee class. His video is still up. Really cool to watch in comparison to this.

[@TheZeptux]

Got it on 2nd clear🤩 thanks alot for the videos man, gonna attempt onyxia and EoE now! Subbed

[@Scorpob]

Good luck!

[@MikeHawk-qk1wj]

took me 20 wipes to get him down hopefully way less next week. The right pillar in p3 kept bugging the boss and couldnt figure out how to fix that tried the pillar on the left which still bugged but way less common and got him down.

[@crtmn5242]

Which addons you using for that enemy names and the dots upper that?

[@Scorpob]

Plater

[@QuickSceneClips]

Use to solo this all the time on my blood dk back in wrath but the mount never dropped. Did it weekly for almost a year.

[@fannaringvarsson9656]

Thanks for the guide. Mount dropped on my first run

[@Scorpob]

Lucky!

[@SinChase]

This encounter is an absolute cesspit of bugs. Its not worth the infuration.

[@TheZeptux]

This is very doable now when the staff is fixed, just gotta dodge those mindcontrolls!

[@Arthur-jp6ik]

what telents do you have on your pet so it keep aggro on everyone, when i shoot multi shot they all go on me

[@Scorpob]

use misdirection? also all the talents are in the description

[@joan5892]

I got this in retail and it really is my favorite. I always use it.

[@alexanderliebertz4172]

You kidding?

[@Luggy1394]

Fun little game to play while watching, drink every time he says "annoying" You'll need a lot.......

[@Scorpob]

🤣 well try soloing the fight and tell me it isn't annoying the first few times you do it

My PTSD from 2010 woke up. :D :D

For real same

[@spencertoler2199]

How are you able to use MD every 7 seconds when it has a 30 second CD after use????

[@i_daniel0141]

Glyph of Misdirection, makes MD reset CD when used on pet

[@maxb.1751]

my pet bugs out all the time, randomly stops attacking the boss. how buggy can a fight be

[@Scorpob]

I know it's frustrating getting him near the pillar. Blame blizz for shoddy pet ai and pathing

[@alexsimon1798]

im having issues in p2 with weapons. pet cant seem to be able to hold any real aggro on them...

[@Scorpob]

Use glyph of misdirection. I put talents in the description showing what you should probably use for this, basically whenever it wears off you wanna be putting it up again, pet by itself isn't too good at generating a lot of threat

[@alexsimon1798]

@@Scorpob yup i figured it out while re-watching, gonna give it another try soon. Thanks :)

[@verbatimshelf3121]

you need a pet though. Ive been trying to solo this at 85 since OG cata on my druid. i tried pulling the warrior to the begging of the instance because it teleports you back into the room on phase transition so he has to run allllll the way from the dungeon entrance. I have tried LOSing with statues. There is just no way to kill the mage with all of the cc from the advisors as a melee. IDK what else to do. Im feral druid and maybe my only chance is if i somehow got full bleeds (or close to it) on the mage but its impossible. Maybe ill try pvp trinket. Is there any way to drop their debuffs? If i was able to get passed the advisors i would be fine.

[@Scorpob]

I'm not sure about the other classes but I know blood dk can do it! This guy is doing it in cata classic... maybe you could use strategy he uses that applies to your class to help? I'm not going to claim to be an expert on melee but it does seem a lot harder to do kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH2voatqgNecj9Esi=Z7qRnAww52S1razS

[@Scorpob]

I would say to equip and use the staff since doing that normally would provide immunity to disorients and to the mage's conflagration CC but it's currently bugged... it may be annoying to do 😅 not sure if possible

[@verbatimshelf3121]

@@Scorpob the staff has no ability on it though.. i think its bugged in cata classic.. will try next lock out.

[@verbatimshelf3121]

@@Scorpob ahhh yeah this guy looks like he is doing my old strat by pulling them all over the dungeon.. i guess ill just do it like that. Appreciate the help.

[@Farfarawai]

What you have to do is fight outside the arena, separete all the adds in different parts of the raid, then when the 3 phase comes out you will fight then individualy. Been doing this on my blood dk for 3 weeks now.

[@elite1234564]

What is that bar on the top your using called? I’m using titan panel and it doesn’t look as clean as that one you have.

[@Scorpob]

It is Titan panel, may need to play around with the settings to get it looking like mine

How about Paladin can do this alone too? LV:354

[@whataday2624]

Are you saying that you can do this at ilvl 354? Are you doing this as ret or prot?

[@michaelyoo8285]

Good vid but only works on some classes

[@sidyaking]

I wonder if it’s doable as Blood dk? Probably not due to Mind Control?

[@Scorpob]

It is doable, in fact arguably easier as b dk. He won't actually MC his main target (since you are tanking he won't use it)

[@stillnotchill2560]

SubtleFW made a guide for soloing this as blood DK. Lucky me having both hunter and blood DK at 85, I'll get 2 attempts a week.

[@Farfarawai]

Mind Control doesnt happen since youre the only person in the raid, the only way that can happen is if you Army but its a very low chance. Been soloing on my dk for 3 weeks now.

[@SibatuaDiyaha]

is there any minimum iLvl gear?

[@Scorpob]

anything's pretty acceptable as long as you know what you're doing, i've done it as low as 330 ilvl on a hunter

[@user-th2wq8tc4r]

How are you self healing through the fight?

[@Scorpob]

[@Farfarawai]

can you show gear please?

[@Scorpob]

Was in full 346 blues with a couple 359 epics

[@Scorpob]

show gear for a split second at 14:10

[@adamg59]

Do you think its doable as demo lock? Ty for video

[@Scorpob]

Can't say for sure... With strong gear and the right talents maybe. I'm no expert on locks but I'd say it's worth a try if you know your class well. If it doesn't go well you may need to wait for bug fixes from the staff or stronger gear from later phases so It won't matter as much

[@spiritualviking8094]

I know for a fact i demo Main. Ive even done it on my shaman with reduce CD on elementals... glyph etc bla bla. Point is, this is incredibly easy. But tbh pointless alone Just clear it with 3 other People. Guildies. Way faster, saveqs alot of time.

[@Scorpob]

@@spiritualviking8094 pointless alone? Unless I'm hard reserving the mount I'm never bringing anyone tbh. Much more effort finding guildies to do it, hunter solo only takes about 20 mins from flying to org to killing him now, and you're not rolling against anybody, this is fairly easy now

[@spiritualviking8094]

Prot pala is a bad tank in cataclysm
