Soloing Magtheridon’s Lair for fun and profit

Friday, February 25th, 2011

Previously I have written about soloing old instances for fun and profit. Today I thought I’d write about a Burning Crusade era raid that, with patience, can be soloed quite easily by a level 85 character. I’m talking about Magtheridon’s Lair.

Soloing Molten Core for fun and profit

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

A while ago I wrote about soloing older dungeons and raids for fun and profit. Today I thought I’d give a brief overview of the Classic Molten Core raid. For a majority of classes it can be quite easily soloed at level 85.

Basic Argaloth Raid Guide

Tuesday, January 11th, 2011

Argaloth is a massive pit lord demon and the first boss in Baradin Hold, Cataclysm’s version of the Vault of Archavon raid.

How to calculate DPS required to beat an enrage timer

Monday, May 24th, 2010

I was in an Ice Crown Citadel (ICC) 10 man raid last night and the group had cleared up to Festergut. For those that don’t know, Festergut is basically the first boss of the second wing of ICC and is basically a ‘DPS race’ or gear check. Festergut has a relatively short, 5 minute enrage [...]

Rogue solos Patchwerk

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

Here’s an interesting video of a Rogue soloing Patchwerk (25 man mode), the “target dummy” boss in Naxxramas. The video runs for close to 10mins, however the Rogue has said that the entire fight lasted 4 hours 45 minutes. Reading the guys comments there was liberal use of evasion, shadow step and waiting for cool [...]
