DK solo: Supreme Lord Kazzak #Worldboss

Raegwyn Soloing 2015-06-28 | This Boss is very challenging. The Challenging Part is that people tend to come and attack it in the last few % which leads to me having to start all over again. (had to make more than 20 trys just because of that reason God Dammit)

Jokes aside, I tried this Boss on PTR already and everything went so damn smooth that i thought its killable right away. But i didn´t think it would be possible to solo down 40 million health without random people joining until like weeks after release. Patience prove me wrong :)

As you can see it´s a simple Tank and Spank Fight which doesnt require much aside from using CDs whenever you dont have the Mark and some Death Strike Timing when you have it.
Mark Of Doom + Death Knight Healing have just perfect synergy and make you basically unkillable.

Thanks to Magdalena (who btw also killed it) and a few others for giving me the motivation to try it already ;)

Raegwyn Soloing 2015-06-25 | Well yeah... if only i would do 4 times as much dps :)

This fight took 11 Minutes 30 seconds.
Enrage is at 11 Minutes even though it says 10

Thx a lot to anyone joining this awesome Event!

What made this boss so ridiculus awesome and difficult was that everyone could get any ability all the time!
Normally tanks dont get targeted by impale... for good reasons. but since we didnt have dps or heals we all got it all the time.
It´s impossible to assign ppl to do stuff when everything is completely random.

This means you can get an impale and have to run behind the siegetank, while you are tanking the boss or kiting the siegetank, which is quite nuts.
Or look what happened to me in the last phase. Mine then impale then taunt boss then another mine AND impale then another impale trololo

This boss really was nuts. It still went much smoother than expected due to my Deathnerds being awesome. Enjoy!

(20 DKs vs Highmaul Mythic coming next, sadly it isnt Xrealm yet so it will be easy as fuck at the time)

DK solo: Drov the Ruiner (Worldboss)

Raegwyn Soloing 2015-04-02 | Join: 20 DKs vs BRF soon: http://openraid.eu/r/265219

Raegwyn (Thrall EU) soloing Drov the Ruiner WoD Worldboss.
(Itemlvl 696)

This took me 2 attempts, luckily no one interrupted them :)
I would have done this way earlier, but sadly whenever i had time it was a week were he wasnt there :(

After i killed it i got the idea that i could have used the Gladiator Garrison Ability to speed it up, but meh.

PS: can anyone figure out why BoS healed me multiple times when i got hit by Collossal Smash, thought about it alot but i cant seem to figure it out. I should have healed me only once since its 1 strike but sometimes i got like 10-12 4k heals in the same second which doesnt make sense.

Raegwyn Soloing 2015-02-20 | Requirements:
ID with Hans and Franz down Myhic/Heroic/Normal doesnt matter
(you can farm Heroic/Normal as often as you want, mythic only once all 30 minutes)

1 Tank that can kite (Blood works awesome no idea about others)
1 DPS that can slow multiple targets easily (Hunter, DK etc.)
1 Healer (might even work with an offhealer since as soon as you are out of the main room you basically get no damage)

Happy farming and Thx for destroying my AH prices :)

SoO Heroic solo: Paragons of the Klaxxi

Raegwyn Soloing 2014-12-30 | Okay i have to say this is my favorite Soloing-encounter in SoO, or even in all of MoP. It also was the hardest Boss in SoO i soloed so far, slightly ahead of Dark Shamans.

It just has everything!
Dissector, Skeer and the Enrage are DPS checks.
Prime and his hardcore Dot + 5 sec Stuns are a Survival Check.
And you have to be smart to not die to the Mesmerize later on.
Also was quite interesting to discover that Swarmkeeper doesnt really hurt while enraged, which is why i kept him alive till the end.

Sadly this encounter annoys you with Random Resets at pull,
Skeers Bloods behaving strange, Prime Stunning you at the same time as going into amber, and Mesmerize timer not following any logic at all.

However I enjoyed soloing this boss a lot and i can just recommend other DKs to try it later on :D

SoO Heroic solo: Garrosh Hellscream

Raegwyn Soloing 2014-12-30 | Credit for the Tactic goes to Mionelol!
Check out the awesome Level 90 Normalmode Kill:
youtube.com/watch?v=gceK-Q8p8Yk

Since i didn´t kill normalmode at 90 it feels quite dissapointing to kill Heroic mode at 100. The difficulty decreased by a lot. It took me 2 trys to down this boss, but i knew all parts of the fight already since i gave it about 50 trys at 90, so it should still be a challenge for most people to find out the basics.

Compared to my level 90 Normal progress i can say that surviving was slightly easier, not too much though. DPS on the other hand, which was the main thing you had to worry about at 90 isn´t an issue anymore. The Kill took 20 Minutes so i had about 5 minutes to spare and could focus fully on staying alive, while on Level 90 beating the Enrage was the main Problem.
For Comparison here is a screenshot of one of my level 90 trys at 20 minutes: http://i.imgur.com/u2h324J.jpg

However big Respect to mione again for pulling this off at level 90 in Normalmode. I might would have been able to kill it myself within 200ish trys, but i would have never figured out the tactic by myself. So Big Gratz for a well deserved kill again :)

SoO Heroic solo: Kor´kron Dark Shaman (Breath of Sindragosa MASTERPLAY)

Raegwyn Soloing 2014-12-29 | This is my 2nd most favorite Boss in SoO.
The Debuff of Haromm Stacks infinitely which makes Death Strike Timing and high DPS essential.
Good old BC Rocketboots downgraded my overall itemlvl to 630ish which was totally worth it for resetting the stack once.

Also since this fight has tons of magic damage and multitarget Breath of Sindragosa is OP as fuck here if used properly. (Kept it up for the first 2 minutes of the fight).

SoO Heroic solo: Immerseus - Protectors - Norushen

Raegwyn Soloing 2014-12-28 | Ok let´s start the soloing in WoD with clearing Siege of Orgrimmar on HEROIC mode (which was former called normal).
Will upload the other parts of SoO each day ;D

Immerseus was quite fun post enrage, so pardon me that i cut out the boring first 10 minutes of the fight. The Enrage is quite lethal if you dont know how to handle it, but if you do it´s a pretty interesting fight.

Protectors and Norushen are just here for the sake of completeness and were quite faceroll.

Blood DPS Specc is back! Tectus Mythic - Prime Firstkill

Raegwyn Soloing 2014-12-16 | yes Blood DPS is back and its better than ever!
Sadly its only worth it on massive multitarget and you cant tank while playing it, so there is no reason to nerf it. Its compareable to Glad warriors for the most part.
Its quite fun but very hard to play. If you make 1 small mistake you lose like 30% of your DMG.

Even though i couldnt keep Breath of Sindragosa up till the end i still pushed way more DMG than anyone else in the last phase, for the penalty of doing much less in earlier phases. I even pushed 57k on one try were i used it perfectly, so you see the difference is quite big if you make perfectly or not.

If you like it try it out check out the Guide below. Currently its only really worth it on Tectus but some Bosses might come :D

How to Play Blood DPS:

The Basic Concept is:
Frostpresence + Multistrike/Haste Gear + Breath of Sindragosa.
To make it efficent you have to master how to gain maximum RP over the duration its running, without wasting any by overcapping.

To do so you need to let all Runes reg before activating it, then make sure you always stay in meleerange cause your autohit multistrikes can give you 15 RP each.
While you do that you need to Spam your abilitys whenever you get below ~70 RP. Empower Rune Weapon, Plague Leech, Blood Elf Racial and proper AMS usage help to keep it up even longer and need to be chained perfectly without failing to make it worth using.

Have fun trying it out ;D

2 DKs vs Garrosh Normal

Raegwyn Soloing 2014-10-25 | Check out the other Bosses 2 man:
youtube.com/watch?v=xtXj3xlr1Eo&index=2&list=PL813F95A2C9F36366

Normal 6.0 is Flex in 5.4
This was an awesome Encounter for 2 manning.

There are 2 important things to note in that fight:
The first 2 intermissons have to end before the boss reaches 25 energy.
The 2nd thing which is also the reason for first one are the whirling adds. Since we are only 2 people it´s quite hard to deal with them since they empower each other easily. If the boss reaches 25 energy before the 3rd intermission, killing the adds wastes so much dmg that we get a total of 5 intermissions which leads to enrage.
I should also note that having the Deathgrip Glyph helped a lot handling the adds.

Special Thx to: Sngmtokos for making this possible

Normal 6.0 is Flex in 5.4
So yeah after making this video i can truly say all bosses of SoO are solo or 2 man able at 90 with the exception of Sha of Pride (imprison also takes tanks) and Malkorok (Enragetimer).

i didnt do the previous bosses because they are either soloable(Immerseus, Protectors), boring(Norushen) or impossible (Sha).
But the main reason is i just wanted to do Shamans 2 man for fun and started there. I didnt think it would go as smooth to 2 man basically anything there to make it worth a video, but hey!

DK solo: Lei Shen 10 Normal

Raegwyn Soloing 2014-10-20 | So yeah 6.0 came out and i thought hey lets try something again its been a while.
Here you see Lei Shen 10 Normal.

Aside from the first Transition (which is hard as fuck), this boss was kinda easy.
His Enragetimer was still pretty tight for me, but thats probably because i still dont have a 2nd DPS trinket and no 588 wep.

Note:
Out of his 4 Pillars only 2 work when you are alone, and one of them just spawns 1 add which dies in 2 hits.
Basically soloing disables some mechanics, but makes others, like Bouncing Bolt (which is the reason for the 100 adds in first transition) much harder
After the first transition the only "Hard" Pillar is disabled thats why in the 2nd Transition nothing happens aside from 2 small adds spawning

However this solokill showed me that Vengeance Cheesing was much more fun than i thought. Now that Vengeance is gone, you really have no way to squeese out some more dps and you just spam the same rotation all the time. I guess soloing (and to some point tanking too) lost a very interesting way of improving yourself each try.

Until now you could always improve even after 100 trys you could still sacrifice a bit more survival for more dps or vice versa etc. but now i guess after 10 trys any boss will be quite boring, because you will do the same amount of damage with the same buttons as in the previous trys, after you got the basics. But yeah lets see.

10 DKs vs Garrosh Heroic! until Phase 3

Raegwyn Soloing 2014-07-08 | was tons of fun and a quite hardcore staying alive Challenge!
After 4 hours of progression 2 people had to leave and i couldnt replace them, thats why we stopped. we oneshotted it on normal right after.
Im sure we could have come further since we have seen p2 only a few times yet and p1 started to get handled without problems, but im not sure how much further.

Let´s hope with the removal of Bloodworms raids like these will still be possible in WoD... or fuck that im gonna do them anyway xD

Thx to anyone who was part of it!

WoD Beta: LvL 100 PvP First Look feat. Bajheera

Raegwyn Soloing 2014-07-04 | Just wanted to cheer you guys without Beta access up a bit.
You dont miss much. nothing is balanced yet.

Right now Blood is ridiculus OP in PvP, even though its playstyle feels damn boring.
And as you can see in the 2nd part of the video 2 Frost DKs cant kill each other if they play defensively.

I Tested PvP for about 3 hours (first time PvP since like 2 years btw) and had WAY to many draw matches were no one of the last 2 players died after ages.

There will be a lot of changes before WoD goes live so dont take this video to seriously, its just a first look to show you guys how Beta PvP is right now.

I will also do some PvE Vids as soon as they release PvE content on Beta

PS: 10 DKs vs Garrosh HEROIC on sunday!

DK solo: Dark Animus - Impossible is nothing #Worldfirst#

This is probably the hardest boss of this expansion (atleast p1) and a pretty good ending of the MoP soloing in my opinion.

Very big credit goes to Снежоксмерти aka Snowball, a russian warlock that gave me the idea for this kill and helped me figuring out the basics after i asked him.
Without him this wouldnt have been possible
His channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/MrSmallBody/videos

P1 took about 70-80 trys
P2 took 2 trys

Tactics, Tipps and Tricks:

The Tactic is to kill the first 2 deactivated golems within seconds (atleast 1 crit is required). After that i start kiting which i wont describe further.
After some time (see below) the golems die, leaving the boss with 96 energy.
The rest is tank and spank even though it can be tricky with 200% damage taken from animaring and much worse gear than normal because of the 300% rocketboots (which are basically an empty slot) and offensive gear required to oneshot first 2 golems.

Another thing is you somehow have to manage to let one of your ghouls tank dark animus at the beginning or he will cast Animaring on you, which for some reason prevents you from moving for 2 seconds

I used engineer rocketbelt, 300% BC rocketboots (40 intellect and no other stats) Unholy Presence, swiftness potion, Deaths Advance, Curse of the Hubris trinket (25% crit on use just to crit on the first 2 golems), Tankcloak and purgatory to give me another second

Since i know tons of people will ask these questions i will answer them right now.

"Why are the small Animagolems dieing when you dont dps them"?
Thats because on normalmode the boss soaks 1 Anima all 5-7 sec after you pull him. and after 4 times soaking they are empty and deactivate.
"Why doesnt the boss get 100 Energy?"
At the very start i kill 1 deactivated golem whose anima jumps into an activated one that didnt get energy from the Orb yet. (thats a matter of milliseconds btw)

PS: this will probably be my last video for a while, because i have to go to Military alternative employment for 9 months, starting next week.... Fuck Austria
Not sure about 25 DKs vs ToT though...

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLJHU2OsjD8&list=SP813F95A2C9F36366

Quite fun raid actually especially the differences in diffuculty.
Suprisingly Megaera was by far the hardest boss followed by Dark Animus.
Anything else was oneshot or died within 3 trys.
If you look closely you can see that i played Dual Wield Unholy on some bosses.

Thx to all DKs who were part of it.
Special Thx to Dempton an sanja for saving our ass on animus.

Siegecrafter Blackfuse 25 HEROIC

Raegwyn Soloing 2013-09-30 | Raegwyn soloing Siegecrafter Blackfuse 25 HC ...jk!

This is the World #10 kill and firstkill of my guild Rapid Eye Movement.
This also was the first time i was raiding a Boss with other classes that, in my opinion, deserved a video, so yeah here it is.

Sadly fraps didnt get my own voice so you can only hear my guildmates talking.
Sorry for the music its just random songs from technobase.fm that i listened while we killed it that i couldnt cut out.

zero editing this time due to progress hope you like it anyway
and dont worry more soloing / DK only stuff will come soon
cheers

21 DKs vs Siege of Orgrimmar Flex 4/14

Raegwyn Soloing 2013-09-20 | This was made out of boredom and because i had to do flex before first heroic ID.
It wasnt meaned to be challenging or something it was meaned to be a funny little thing to do till Heroic SoO progress is done and we can go DKs vs ToT hc.
And we had a lot of fun in there so i guess it was successful ;D

Especially our Fallen Protectors Cleave-Tactic or Sha of Pride without a dispeller and endless stacking dots had a really unique feeling. Sadly we couldnt do more bosses because only first 4 bosses were accessable at the time we made this run

Thx to anyone who was part of it. And no since heroic progress will take a while i dont plan to do other flex wings yet. ToT hc will probably be next.

Sry for lazy/bad editing but i couldnt spent much time since i had my 22nd birthday yesterday + heroic progress, hope you still like it.
just put up some random chillout songs since this was a random chillout DK raid ;DD:

Guide: Proving Grounds - Wave 95 - Unholy DK

Raegwyn Soloing 2013-09-18 | So yeah Proving Grounds are kinda fun in my opinion only problem is you have to wait like 80 minutes till it gets challenging... Wave 80 at 7:40

Note these are the tactics i used, they might not be perfect especially wave 9 but they worked best for me.

Guide
:
Recommended Glyphs: Regenrative magic, Pestilence, Icebound Fortitude
Recommended Talents: Rolling Blood, Aphixiate, Blood Tap. Remorseless Winter

Basics for all waves: use AMS and IBF to let orbs explode without getting stunned whenever you can.
Soulreaper is mandatory. if you kill something while it has soulreaper you get a big hastebuff what isnt bad or you can make it finish the last 25ish % whats also awesome.
on almost any wave mobs look too the entrance use that for positioning (i put a blue marker to make it easier too see)
Stunned Big adds cant make their shield.
Banshees have to be focused instanly

Waveguides:

Wave 1: Dot the adds in the middle, move instantly outside and kill the Mantid with help of their orbs (use Soulreaper below 35% and just move to next one)

Wave 2: Dot the Mantid and spread diseases, Instantly go to the Healmob and kill it as fast as possible, use first orb for the healmob second orb for one of the big guys and third orb for banshee

Wave 3: Remorseless Winter, DnD + Disease Spread GG

Wave 4: Dnd so you hit 3 target before phase, Dot Mantid spread diseases and kill one after one of the Big Guys, dont forget the Banshee and kill her with help of the 3rd orb

Wave 5: Dot everything, Grip the monkey stun and kill it fast, kill healer, use all cooldowns at about 32 sec left. place DnD right before banshee spawns at 30 sec and nuke her, save runes till sha shield is gone, nuke and dont forget soulreaper

Wave 6: Kinda easy Dot in the middle, Spread diseases, nuke one healer and then other one. just make sure they dont heal.

Wave 7: Dnd before phase, Grip stun and nuke monkey too the middle, spread diseases, use AMS for both first orbs and get the mob in the middle + monkey + 1 Mantid in amber, nuke the ambered mantid and let dots finish off the other 2 ambered mobs. use the other mantid orbs for the rest.

Wave 8: Hard. Dot healer, spread diseases nuke till 48 secs left then take berserkerbuff, first banshee spawns nuke her then healmob a bit. at 30 sec next banshee spawns make sure the healmob is still alive at that point so you can spread diseases. at 25 sec another banshee spawns so Dnd at 31 secs helps for both.

Wave 9: Hardest Wave havent really found a perfect tactic yet. I use ghoulstun for the monkey instantly dot it spread diseases and grip it to one of the other adds aphixiate it and kill it as soon as the first orb comes. then nuke the add in amber. use 2nd orb for the big add and 3rd orb for the banshee. Even with unholy frenzy this phase was always very close for me.

Wave 10: Easy, Army at 41 secs, berserkerbuff + gargoyle at 30 secs and nuke when shield is gone. 1,9 mill soulreaper crits ftw.

After wave 10 you have 15 secs to rest. you can use that to eat bufffood after wave 60.

Altogether i can say there are only 2 hard waves 8 and 9. Im not 100% sure myself where to use unholy frenzy and where the berserker buff.
I hope this guild helped some people and feel free to ask any questions

DK solo: Sha of Fear - The Sweet Taste of Revenge #Worldfirst#

Raegwyn Soloing 2013-06-30 | 50% of my wipes occured because random FPS drops. if you like to help me out getting a new PC you can donate here: paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=8R7G6TQYGDNSC
(i promise to spent it only for alcohol or new gaming equipment aka a PC that can handle Streaming)

Raegwynsolo (now on Stormscale EU) soloing T14 endboss before t15 is over hmmkay
3 months and 30+ itemlevel difference, same opponent, same buttons pressed.

As i expected in my other sha vid which you can find here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tXopsFRSLY this kill was a big disappointment. i dealed almost 3 times the damage that i did in my other video while outhealing it wasnt an issue this time.
So i basically just had to keep trying till the RNG gods like me to beat the enrage and the real Challenge was gone...
I used as much DPS gear as i had what basically means unupgraded dps gear + lots of upgraded tankgear with critgems and critreforge.

Originally i didnt want to release a video of this boss because of how disappointing DPS races feel. But well, i didnt release something since a while, and its the freaking Contentendboss of T14 soooo Yeah... (and the killshot is just prizeless)
You should still read the description of my Sha of Berserk video to understand why i dont make videos for any solokill i do.

I promised to Thank various people for helping me getting this possible so thx to: my whole guild for gear, Ediel, Rooney, Miabella!!!, Chrispotter, Niyalor, Xalathras, Pehmil, Fittfejesbois, Hayek, Mystógam, Jhoppe, Lazyfellôw, DJghóst, Noscopeheals, xcution, arhisolo, dempton and anyone else i forgot^^

Very Special Thanks to Hayek for giving me tha lootz i needed

PS:
Yes i used the 15% haste buff from heroic to compensate my missing dps gear. should be totally possible without it, with fully upgraded BiS dps gear though.

To anyone who still wants to bitch around because of the hastebuff. It requires you to bring sha of fear heroic to 66% what is exactly the same amount of HP as he has on normalmode with exactly the same mechanics.
since he does slightly more dmg on heroic mode the amount of vengeance you gain is high enough to solo it to 66% for the buff without having it (even with my gear), what pretty much looks exactly the same as soloing him on normalmode, while it is a bit harder to survive. i dont say i did solo heroic to 66% i got help. but i tried it one single time and brought him to 78% without much issues while DPS was totally enough so yeah. im very sure i COULD have soloed the hastebuff too IF i cared, with pressing exactly the same buttons as in this vid, if i just spent enough time on it.
saying its not a legit solokill because of using a buff that i could make aviable myself is just dumb.

i decided to get help for it to save time for the actual kill, since i didnt think people would care that much about a buff that is common known. why should i run around 15 minutes to get a buff to run around another 15 minutes doing exactly the same?

for me its pretty much the same as i do on other kills were i invite friends to speed up trash that i could solo to save time for actual progression but its up to you how you see it i dont care.

10 DKs vs Heart of Fear HEROIC

Raegwyn Soloing 2013-05-15 | The Death Nerds are back!
with this video i present you that 10 DKs can clear HoF heroic in about 2 hours if played right.

All Death Nerds involved were handpicked by myself and i would lay my hands in fire to say that everyone of them mastered the DK class perfectly and plays atleast at my niveau or even higher.

The Difficulty Levels were quite different than with a typical raidsetup
The Hardest boss was Amber-Shaper followed by Imperial Vizier. All other were quite simple with Empress ironically being the easiest boss of this instance.

If you look closely you can see that we used some stuff that most DKs wouldnt even think of:

Deathcoil Glyph to shield Fixiated players on Garalon
Icy Touch Glyph for dispell on Windlord
Death Siphon for some nice 800k heals on ambershaper last phase
Desecreated Ground + Lichborne to handle fear on Empress last phase

We also did 6 DKs vs MSV Heroic right after, killed 4 bosses and stopped on Elegon because of time issues so you can probably expect that as next Video. (Garajal was a beast lol)

I should also mention that this isnt my first 10 DKs vs HoF hc clearrun.
9 russians invited me to clear it 1 week before, but all the russian letters fucked up my interface so badly that i had to do it again with non russian players to provide some quality footage. We also exploited Garalon with the russian raid so it wasnt a true "clear" run and wiped about 40 times on ambershaper. You can check that raid out here: http://www.youtube.com/user/xcutionsolokill/videos

TACTICS (exactly as i explained them xD):

Zorlok: When echo spawns ALL dps echo 2 tanks go next platform
Last phase just nuke him in the middle dont kite him behind pillar as normally just offtank the echo and nuke the shit out of him

Bladelord: Everyone tanks, stay at max meleerange in a circle since he does a really hard magic dmg dot that can hit anyone what sucks

Garalon: standard tactic with deathcoil targetstarget macro for the fixiated guys

Windlord: just Glyph of icy touch dispell own add + Descreated ground speccing
CC 3 Trappers

Ambershaper: Hardest boss in there, in p2 stack only on the big add. no single stack on boss please!
When big add has about 30% start stacking on boss.
KEEP MOVING when boss casts amberstuff that follows you
ARMY last phase
In last phase everyone eat slime and kick yourself please after getting abomination.
hardcore dps race. (death siphon is kinda nice there)

Empress: joke easiest boss no real tactic required. offtank 1 big add all the time and GG
Stand in the boss all the time for Bloodworms, you literally need to lick shekzeers pussy xD Specc DG and LB for fear

I hope you enjoyed this Video and hopefully more DK only raids will follow in the future.
If you wanna join my raids check my channel from time to time if i do a 25 DK raid recruitment.

DK solo: Sha of Berserk (Fear)

Raegwyn Soloing 2013-04-17 | NEW VIDEO SHA OF FEAR KILL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZVUuUhibrA&feature=youtu.be

Why only upload kills when bringing it to enrage months before makes more fun ;D (15 fucking minutes!!!)
This video was made to answer a question i get all the time. read below

I get asked so many times why i havent done videos of this boss or that boss or that other boss on hardmode or that specific boss on 25 mode or whatever (Some Examples: LK 25HC, Alakir, Ulduar, Sindragosa, ... )

Sha of Fear is another good example for one of those bosses . i can already survive him for whole 15 minutes (not to say that would be easy lol), but at the time i can beat his enragetimer there wont be any other challenge than spamming a max DPS rotation while maybe stacking some vengeance.

When i finally have the necessary gear to beat the enrage in 5.3 or 5.4, killing him will be easier than what you just saw, what makes him not really interesting for me.

many people who arent doing soloing business themselves just dont know that about 80% of all bosses that got soloed since cata, were healable till enrage months or even years before they actually got killed. At the time you finally did enough DPS to beat their enrage, outhealing them was a joke. LK 25HC, Marrowgar, Atramedes and Alakir are the best examples in my opinion and Sha of Fear will just be another one, but there are way more.
I can guarantee you that i can already survive any boss till enrage that will get soloed in the next 8 months (if he doesnt have another Dps check mechanic ofc)

After explaining all of this i hope people finally understand that i dont make videos for any solokill i do and stop asking me about that.

Bosses like Ragnaros Heroic who have interesting mechanics to handle or bosses were staying alive while doing max dps still is a challenge are worth it. But some Bosses are just weak hitting Training Dummys that require a specific amount of dps and not worth a video.

If you like Videos like this i can solo more lvl 90 raid bosses till enrage or just keep doing the "interesting" solokills as before.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway back to this Boss:

I used full tanking gear with mastery trinkets and had to time some deathstrikes instead of spamming all the time to get optimal bloodshields. (like eat a 3x strike without a bloodshield and use DS right after to get a bigger one)

The difficulty about this fight was (especially near the end) to run perfect and big circles around the boss and to constantly keep running. If you run too short curves or stop running for half a second you get oneshotted by the adds instantly.
Another Challenge was the Breath of Fear since i couldnt move into the light and wait for it.
I used a CD rotation to prevent getting feared (AMS-Desecreated Ground-AMS-Lichborne-AMS-Descreated Ground...)
the problem with this CD rotation is that with Lichborne or Desecreated Ground you still get the dmg of it, what is pretty high. And another problem was that desecreated Ground needed to be timed perfectly since i had to keep running while placing it what means 0,5 sec after placing i already ran out of it.

PS: This Boss is a very good survival test for Raid-Tank DKs and helps to understand how to time Deathstrike while also teaching multitasking. So if you are a Raidtank you may wanna test yourself on this Boss and try to improve.

Ragnaros HEROIC solo - Someone got fired

Raegwyn Soloing 2013-04-14 | The work of more than 4 months is finally completed.
I didnt really think i could beat him without a Heroic or atleast a Thunderforged Weapon but it seems (even if it were quite close) that Good old 517 Shinka and the new legendary Metagem were enough ;D
I handled all parts of the fight without any exploiting

I didnt speed it up that much this time so you can see any single detail of the fight.

If you look closely you can see my Bloodshield is almost permanently full what means i had way too much mastery.
Since almost all dmg you get is fire, a completly full bloodshield is pretty useless because you wouldnt get meleedmg with a smaller one too, but even after reforging my whole tankgear, it still was way too much mastery on it.
Just to mention that i wasnt in a perfect stat situation.

Anyway the most important part of this fight was the 2nd Transition Phase since i needed to let pretty much all adds explode (what required perfect CD timing + Death/Mass Gripping) for a nice vengeanceboost to compete my missing dps gear.

On almost any previous try i got 3 or more meteors what fucked up the fight.
With 2 meteors i were able to handle it and when they were gone in last phase it was pretty much over.

I think i should also mention that i did 1 try before 5.2 were i got into the last phase, killed !4! meteors but died about 10 secs after because he enraged at 38% what is quite funny but also frustrating, when i think how long it took me to get to that situation again with better gear and just 2-3 meteors

I used 5 different macros here which were quite important in my opinion (for anyone who wanna repeat this)

Focus ghoul + heal ghoul macro
deathgrip on focus macro
"Oh Shit button" macro with all CDs except AMS
Focus Meteor macro
MAssgrip on myself macro

25 DKs vs Heart of Fear

Raegwyn Soloing 2013-04-10 | 10 DKs vs HoF HEROIC clear here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s9rDP4TOZY&lc=aS1w-zIfe3PVhujTSGwaXWXRic9E5XfW3KW0r4LiGuQ

25 DKs clearing Heart of Fear on normalmode.

We planned to do it on Heroic as far as possible but because of various reasons we didnt manage to do so.

Those of you who saw the stream may remember that, we brought the first boss to 8% on heroic on our best try and then decided to do him normal mode due to time issues (he bugged 2 times what forced us to reset clear trash again)
When we wanted to kill the 2nd Boss on Heroic we got another Bug and couldnt even access him because the Gate of his room didnt open on HC, what forced us to do him normalmode too.

All bosses were first try on Normalmode except Garalon were we fucked it up a bit and didnt have a full raid.

Anyway even with all those annoying bugs and stuff that went wrong, the Event was a shitload of Fun, what always was my main Goal when opening 25 DK Raids and i hope all DKs who were involved enjoyed it as much as me.

Thanks anyone who was part of it and all people who helped me organize it!!!

FaQ:

Why 25 man and not 10 man?
10 man is better to progress and i do it with people i know.
But i enjoy starting little events that Random People can join and its way more fun in a chilled way.

Why you dont do it with a normal Setup?
For the Fun! And i need to see 25 Armys once in a while

What Speccs did the DKs have?
25 Blood on almost any boss. and just 1 Frost Dps on others for Haste Buff and debuff

Why are there Warlocks in the Dmg Meter?
Those arent warlocks, but Skada cant read Russian Letters properly and displays Russian DKs like that

Will you do it on Heroic another time?
Probably yes but in 10 man since i failed to gather 25 people with the necessary gear but 10 people shouldnt be a problem

Why isnt Amber-Shaper from your PoV?
The plan was to let me be the only DK in DPS Specc so i will become the Abomination in P2 100% and can stack properly. I forgot that the small adds always fixate DPS players only and so i died very early because 5 of them constantly hit me in frost specc and so i thought the fight would look better without a dead person as PoV

How can i join future events like this?
Whenever i need people for a 25 DK raid or something similar i do a Recruitment Video before with instructions how to join so if you check my Videos once in a while you shouldnt miss it.
My 10 DK raids consist of handpicked people only

Madness solo - Alone in Dragon Soul 8/8

Raegwyn Soloing 2013-01-19 | a bit late but i finally got my 517 weapon and just started trying it because without such a weapon its kinda impossible.
with this boss i finally cleared all of DS by myself.and i believe im the first player who did this

Big respect to mione and anyone who is able to kill this before 5.2
it was a pretty intense DPS check.
Since my DPS gear sucks pretty hard and my tankgear with tons of mastery is kinda useless here i needed to do a lot stuff to improve my dps output to beat the enrage and cataclysm mechanic. I havent killed a single meteor and just let the first one alive the whole fight what causes other meteors to not even land while giving me constant 7k ticks per sec the whole fight and saving time i would need to kill meteors. and i havent killed a single blood before aoeing all down what increased my vengeance a bit since they stacked much faster.

a few other dps increasing tricks were involved too and thats basically it.
after ~20 trys i got it with lots of critluck.
Still far away from Spines difficulty this boss still has something challenging but its mostly a gearcheck that requires you to understand how to increase your dps to the maximum.

Anyway im not rly interested to clear that whole stuff on heroic again so prepare for 10/25 DKs vs HoF what will probably be my next project.

Special Thx to Badflood for passing on a Str Trinket we both wanted for second

3 DKs vs Stone Guard 10 man

Raegwyn Soloing 2013-01-13 | This was done in 5.0 with a mix of normal and heroic gear before 10% nerf and Bloodworm/Runestrike Buffs without legendary metagem and with a 496 wep

Link this Video in raidchat whenever you wipe on this boss,

This Video has a nice little story behind it that you can read below.

So one day i was going to equip my healmonk alt and we went MSG. everyone was nice, and all were expecting to have lots of fun. although we had pretty much no epics at all we were mostly alts of good guilds who cleared it and good players.
So we wiped on Stone Guards 10 normalmode over 25 times in a row and pretty much anyone started to flame anyone else while also finding it funny that we all were to bad to beat this boss.
Someone started to link the song in this video, everyone listened it and started laughting ~10 minutes straight. since it totally described our situation.
we killed it on next try.
So please link this video anytime you get a raid with your alt that wipes on this boss. its damn funny^^

Included DKs: Raegwynsolo, Omlak, Deatmaster
We tried a few different tactics.
1. I solotanked all 3 bosses while other DKs Deathcoiled me - enrage at 11%
2. everyone took one 1 boss - 2 DKs dead before 80%
and the final tactic that worked i took all 3 bosses after CDs ran out next one after his CDs ran out next one and so on.
why you can handle tanking all 3 and dying if you tank one without CDs is pretty simple.
70% of the dmg in this fight comes from the DoT they give the tank. if you tank 1 you get 1 DoT, if you tank 3 you get 1 DoT. their meleeattacks are so weak you dont even recognize them. so if everyone tanks 1 everyone has the dot what means the boss does like 3 times more damage.

This boss has a 8 minute enrage timer not 7 minutes or none as most people think. we killed it 13 secs before

Hagara solo - Alone in Dragon Soul 7/8

Raegwyn Soloing 2013-01-13 | i personally wasted a lot of time trying to beat it as unholy with actually beating the lightning phase instead of skipping it, like hunters. but it seems like i choose the wrong tactic this time since i couldnt handle it as unholy.
anyway it took me 4 trys to down this boss after using this tactic with my new 517 weapon.
credit for killtactic goes to mione.

Spine of Deathwing solo - Impossible is Nothing - #Worldfirst# Alone in Dragon soul 6/8

Raegwyn Soloing 2012-12-28 | This was the most annoying boss i have ever soloed in my whole gamer life.
and also by far the hardest one at lvl 90.

What makes this boss so hard isnt the constant left-right-left... running (whats already annoying enough)
it is the fact that 9/10 trys wipe because a tentacle randomly decides to stun you what causes a roll right after.
This boss took me more 90 trys to kill.
As i said most wipes occured because of tentacles randomly stunning.
another problem was the short hidden 15 min enragetime that kills you instantly.
and ofc my missing dps gear fucked it up sometimes too.
im pretty sure with a 517 itemlvl HC weapon it would be pretty easy to kill each plate with one phase. (what i didnt manage in any try even with extreme vengeance stacking)
but even with that this boss wouldnt be much simpler.
You cant really outgear spine what will make him one of the hardest level 90 solokills in the whole expansion.
i recommend anyone to not even think about trying him because its a total pain and very frustrating if you do anything perfectly and then you get stunned and wipe.
if you still decide to try it im gonna pray for you.

even after so many trys i didnt have a single "perfect" try in which i could kill each plate in 1 phase, never getting stunned, and never wasting a amalg.
If you look closely you can see that even in the killtry many things went not as they should have.

I have no idea why sometimes the tentacles stun you, what they shouldnt do because you are the tank, and sometimes they dont. if that "bug" wouldnt be there the boss wouldnt be such a big pain.

Raegwyn Soloing 2012-12-28 | Spine uploading right now!

i killed this boss a while ago were just to busy to upload it... christmas n stuff.

This Boss is pretty easy, but still kinda frustrating.
He requires:
P1:
Critluck on Drakes
Luck with Big Zone Spawns
Luck that rocketboots work
P2:
Luck with avoid for Disarmor Stacks
enough DPS to beat the enrage
-----------------
Summed up thats a shitload of luck + enough dps gear

If everything works fine he is really a joke. if not he is impossible.

Solo Challenge Mode: Scarlet Monastery

Raegwyn Soloing 2012-12-15 | This required 10% positioning 10% luck and 80% patience.
Im very sure with more aggressive Ghost useage and some luck Bronce is very possible. but since Bronce is faceroll anyway and you cant really use the Ghosts to get gold easier its a kinda unimportant exploit.
This exploit wont help anyone to get a Gold Medal faster, since stacking the ghost will always take way more time than just killing the mobs yourself with 5 people.

Im not really interested in soloing Challende Modes because most of them just dont work complety because of a specific boss or trashpack. And the Challenge of a Challenge mode is to do it IN TIME with 5 people. Soloing it with all cooldowns on any trash + as much time as you want makes it kinda pointless in my opinion.
The reason i still make this video is that i just wanted too see how far i can get with exploiting the ghosts on challenge mode. Almost always when i got this instance as Random heroic i used 1 ghost to kill the first 2 bosses a bit faster but i always wondered how far i can use them to help me clearing that stuff.

1.000.000 DPS - Shannox Heroic solo - The Power of Vengeance

Raegwyn Soloing 2012-12-11 | Shannox Heroic solo on a kinda special way^^
DPS Mathematic for freaks below.
I could have probably soloed him the "standard" way too, but this way just was way more fun! and a challenge on its own way.

Since my Dps gear is way to bad to go further in DS atm i was thinking about making my own challenge till i finally get that stupid sha of fear hc weapon so here is what you get.

It took me around 5 hours to pull this off because of many reasons:
Alysrazor random despawn, Shannox not near alysrazor when he has to be (most annoying one), random deaths because of using GCDs for other things than Deathstrike and Runestrike mid fight.

hardest part was to figure out when to pull alysrazor, when to pull shannox and how many alysrazor phases to use before pulling shannox (on one try i even let aly enrage before pulling shannox and got 750k vengeance before dying because 18 enraged firebirds + aly hitting me lol).
Im still shocked it really worked the way i planned it LoL

i btw also tried to solo both bosses at the same time on normalmode but failed while aly had 17% and shannox 25% because on normalmode the firebirds just dont give enough vengeance to kill shannox fast enough and even if they would when the hastebuff is gone i would die instantly

Math Part for the Numberfreaks:

i reach my Dps peak of around 1,3 million DPS at around 50% of shannox hp shortly before my diseases run out. i cant think about any other encounter were my DPS went that high except Windlord HC in heart of fear before 5.1 proccnerf when i did 850k Dps as DW Blood with souldrinker.

(Shannox died 73 seconds after pull but first 11 seconds i just kited him in position without dealing dmg so all calculations start with the first Hit i gave shannox at 00:49)

From the second i meleehit shannox the fight took exactly 62 seconds
what means i did 461.000 single Dps on shannox alone based on his HP Pool.
My Dmg meter shows 12,04m at that time (from alysrazor earlier). in the second i kill him it shows 62,63m what means i did 50,59 million dmg in the 62 seconds of the fight this equals 815.900 dps over the whole fight.

on start and near the end i deal much lower dps since first my vengeance needed to build up and at the end my diseases ran out and i couldnt refresh them cause that GCD would have killed me.

Hope you enjoy it more stuff soon! (when my DPS gear finally improves...)

Ultraxion solo - Alone in Dragon Soul 4/8

Raegwyn Soloing 2012-12-03 | sadly not enough dps gear to get further in Ds progress but soon

clever use of stat values ;D
Theory Crafting sometimes is more important than playing skilled, this boss made me remember that.

most of you may know that i play as maintank in my guild and have pretty much tankgear only.
what i love about this boss is that he is one of those rare bosses were dps gear isnt a big advantage over tankgear, because in this specific fight haste is almost as useless as mastery (described below).

So here is what went through my mind after 3 wipes with my standard tankgear at 25-35%:

Because of the CD reduction of AMS i basically have unlimited runic power. Dungeon Journal says blablabla Ultraxion can not parry.

so we got a boss that cant parry and were we have (almost)unlimited runic power.
Because of that expertise cap isnt necessary and haste is kinda useless since my RC (100% rune reg after Rune Strike) is active 90% of time and i have more runes than i can use.

so all i needed to do is set new stat values and so i thought crit over all.
i reforged all avoidance/mastery/haste completly to crit and lowered my expertise by a lot. and after that combined with my EPIC "/cast Deathstrike /sit" macro it worked fine on first try! ....even with tankgear ;D

i could have tried it 50 times playing perfectly without reforging or reforged to haste and would have failed badly.

Thinking over Skill - for this boss

anyway another kill for my Alone in DS series YaY!

Warlord Zon´ozz solo - Alone in Dragon Soul 3/8

Raegwyn Soloing 2012-11-25 | Raegwynsolo (Mannoroth EU) now 3/8 down.

This boss was a freaking beast, atleast if you have just tankgear as i do. i reforged my whole tankgear to dps used dps gems dps trinkets and then on my first try after doing all this he enraged at 35%...
So i found out that this boss is ALL about CD timing and smart stacking. I even kept 1 trashmob for the whole fight to give me some vengeance.
you can bounce the sphere as much as you want but it always just stacks till 10 so after 10 bounces he has to eat it. bouncing 11 times would be stupidity but always bouncing 10 times also isnt smart because he gets his stack AFTER he eats the sphere, so it makes sense to dont go up to 10 shortly before end.

Summoning Army of the Dead near the end and using Str pot so that both will run out just before he enrages was very necessary because of his many stacks near the end.

He enraged at 8% and hit for around 500k while enraged. with all CDs up i made it to survive long enough to kill him while dealing around 600k-800k dps in the last few secs of the fight thanks to ridiculous high vengeance.

Everyone who can kill this boss with same or less gear than me deserves my highest respect.

Back to Business - Morchok + Yorsajh solo - Alone in Dragon Soul 2/8

Raegwyn Soloing 2012-11-23 | Raegwynsolo (Mannoroth EU) yeah Servertransfer

So after a long time of chilling, passing matriculation, hanging around with RL stuff i finally decided to go back into soloing business and start were current progression takes part.

Morchok; Since i got that one to 40% at the end of Cata with 85 it wasnt a suprise to kill him pretty simple. It still is a kinda close Dps race that forced me to eat all stomps for enough vengeance to beat the 7 min enragetimer. but overall its just outgearing.

Yorsajh: I took 0 Physical dmg on that fight. The only challenge here also was the enrage.
Its normally not my style to beat boring "beat the enrage" bosses with nothing else but since i want to do any possible DS boss im gonna do ANY possible DS boss.
He is another Boss in which just gear is important. Even though my gear wasnt enough for his enrage i could still beat it with some vengeance increasing tricks such as /sit /deathstrike macro (lol)

for next boss, i brought Zonozz to enrage a few times. Hes kinda hard to survive but possible. The enrage also seems totally doable atm but not with tankgear. Well maybe i can leech some dps pieces soon or someone with DPS gear does him first GL anyone trying

25 DKs vs Dragon Soul HEROIC (8/8) # Worldfirst # - Raegwyn PoV - part 2

Raegwyn Soloing 2012-09-17 | Part 1 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlpgMQkxcQY

Valacar - Heal Blood PoV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmuogYunsTE&feature=g-u-u

This was Pretty much the most Epic DK event of Cataclysm or even of all time.
Im still suprised we could handle 8/8 HC.
Russians, Austrians, British (love zonestar ;D), Poland, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Spain, France and and and... pretty much any nationality was in this raid so leading this bunch of europeans was damn hard because i am as raidleader wasnt that good at english speaking myself. would love to give you some teamspeak footage but i fucked it up.
oh and @Valacar "assigen assigen assigen assigen ..." (insider)

Our Setup switched on any boss but the main setup was:
4 Tank Blood DKs
17 Dps Blood DKs
3 DC Heal Blood DKs (to assist tanks with Deathcoil Glyph)
1 DW Frost DK (for buff)

We also needed to get a druid and priest on Spine to beat the dispell mechanic of that boss (just alts of 2 DKs in the raid)

Tactics:

Morchok:
Standard Tactic of any Raid. Let some DKs Deathcoil tanks to assist them. Stay in black phase and use AMS to push Vengeance. ignore crystals since their dmg is low.

Yorsahj:
If green and red come together kill green. ignore any other comb and stay on boss even if he gets 4 bubbles then.

Zonozz:
AMZ for any DPS Blood to decrease raiddmg and assist tanks. 4 DC healer Bloods to shield me since tankdmg was ridiculus high

Hagara:
Frost Phase: Stay there till Ice Pillars are dead. Use Cooldowns if Frost Spike pass (nice vengeance boost.
I died there because our frost DK got a Ice Tomb that came in LoS of me while i expected no Ice Tomb at all cause i thought he specced to Blood... shit happens, killed it anyway

Ultraxion:
25 Bloods cause lot of raid vengeance and Fading light on no one except the 2 tanks. We also got the achievment

Warmaster:
Priority: Big Zones - Dragons - Meleeadds. Assigned 5 people to just run around eating small zones.
Phase 2: Everyone DC Gorliona till she comes down
All in all much easier than expected even though we had big problems with grapping the sapper ;D

Spine:
Hardest boss of the whole Raid. 23 Bloods and 2 Dispellers.
Conversation Talent for any Dps Blood to get rid of the absorbdebuff.
MOST IMPORTANT: when big add reaches 9 stacks and explodes run INTO it and use AMS + IBF(glyphed) to get a 120k vengeanceboost. with help of that we were able to kill each plate in one phase.

Madness:
wiped a few times there due to exhaustion of 7 hours raiding. Kill Try was last try. if we wouldnt have killed it there we would have stopped.
We had no idea why there wasnt a mutated corruption on third platform, didnt happen in all previous trys but it didnt help us in any way.
AoE was much bigger than expected and DnD Glyph + Disease slow Talent helped a lot on bloods in phase 2

we missed to invite a few people. im really sorry for that but at the start we had like 35 DKs and i thought i would be a bigger asshole if i invite them and then cant switch them in, sorry for that. just let me know you were one of these DKs in my next event

PS: if blizzard reads this everyone agreed that spine isnt balanced you should nerf the boss since 25 DKs cant handle him due to dispell. we found this pretty unfair since other classes can dispell on spine and DKs should be able to do that too so please delete dispell from other classes or give DKs a dispell since everything else would be unfair to the whole DK community. oh and give us a portal ability cause massport is gone

Part 2 - 10 DKs vs Dragon Soul - 10 Million View Special! - 4.3 Patch

Raegwyn Soloing 2012-09-02 | Sign up for 25 DKs vs DS HC on 12.09.2012: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/5208783733

Part 1 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhEr5rilrjU&feature=player_embedded

My Guild is still recruiting for Mop (german only): http://www.nolimit-gilde.de/index.php/forums (Thx to Xurion for joining this raid)

Well actually its not 10 but 8-9 dks on most bosses.
This was done in 4.3.4 a few days before 5.0 hit and changed anything

Since we couldnt do it crossrealm it was hard to get even those 9 DKs and most of them were twinks or badly undergeared. We still managed to do 4/8 on heroic what was more than i expected.
With 10 highly geared DKs pretty much anything (maybe except spine) should work thats why i plan to do 25 dks vs DS HC soon (you can still sign up for it link above)

This part includes:

Ultraxion Heroic: with all blood it seems that just the 2 who are tanking get affected by fading light
Warmaster Blackhorn Nhc: simple, simple.. simple...
Spine nhc: couldnt try hc because we did some bosses nhc before still not that easy
Madness nhc: way easier than expected but we got mad last phase and thought just ignore any tentacles and nuke him what almost made it a wipe^^

This part includes:

Morchok HC: We decided to tank them at the same spot for cleave dmg and stuff but actually that just made it harder for us and killed me, nvm we killed it :D

Yorsajh HC: Much much easier than with normal setup because we could completly ignore Blue and purple blobs since they dont affect DKs

Zonozz HC: Hardest boss of the whole run. We had big enrage problems on our first attemps since we only were 9 while pretty much anyone couldnt really dps because they were running after the sphere.
After we changed the tactic to bounce the sphere from left to right throught the boss (as in the vid) dps worked fine but surviving bounces + bosshits + breaths as tank was fkin hard... even for me.

Hagara Nhc: non heroic because on heroic we couldnt handle frost phase fast enough to prevent people dying from snowflake. should work with 10 well geared DKs or a different tactic though
