Patch 4.3 - On a Deathwing and a prayer

[Rokal]

You can also solo Kara, SSC, Gruul's Lair, and TK. I've never tried BT/Hyjal, but Hyjal should be doable solo as well.

[Merusk]

There aren't many raids that you can get through without hitting some sort of a "you need two people" cockpunch.  The only ones I know of are MC and Magtheridon.

Mag doesn't require 2 people anymore,  so long as you can kill the adds because they spam heal each other. The cubes don't add a debuff and don't require channeling to stop his channeling either.

MC doesn't require two people, either.  There's no more runes to stomp out for Domo, and you should be able to DPS Rag down before his punts become an issue (He's only got 1 mil health).  If not, there's places to stand that you'll hit a wall and not fly out of range long enough to get killed. 

BT and Sunwell I haven't heard of anyone soloing, but duoing is doable.  Hyjal I know some class with a decent AOE had soloed but I can't remember who it was.. probably a DK.  The pure melees can't do it because of the gargoyles and frostwyrms.

[Rendakor]

He was stating that MC and Mag are soloable, not that they aren't.

[K9]

A DK has soloed the Lich King, Mimiron and Yogg+1

[Sheepherder]

You can also solo Kara, SSC, Gruul's Lair, and TK. I've never tried BT/Hyjal, but Hyjal should be doable solo as well.

That's like saying my Prot Pally can solo stuff, well no shit!

Kara: Chess.  So heavily RNG dependent that you might end up slamming your head against a wall.
SSC: Vashj.  Stacking damage buff if you don't kill the adds will get most people.
Gruul: Fall damage is bad news.
TK: Kael.  Silence + Stun + Fear + Disorient + Disorient.
BT: Najentus will chain stun you to death.  Do not pass go, do not collect warglaives.
Hyjal: Rage Winterchill chain freezes.

[Fabricated]

Typically any attack that doesn't target the tank will simply not be used if you're the only person there.

[Setanta]

Pets are included as a player btw. I found that out the hard way on the first boss in AQ40. Now I just FD and let the pet kill the boss (Spirit Beast heals FTW)

[Ingmar]

Kael is a bit RNG but totally doable.

[Rokal]

Kara: Chess.  So heavily RNG dependent that you might end up slamming your head against a wall.
SSC: Vashj.  Stacking damage buff if you don't kill the adds will get most people.
Gruul: Fall damage is bad news.

Chess is extremely easy to solo.

Most of the damage in Gruul came from shatter, which is a non-issue if you are soloing it. Fall damage isn't a big deal. High-king was actually much tougher to solo, but it was doable.

Vashj was very easy to solo.

Kael is rough to solo, but it can be done. Admittedly it's way more effort than i'm willing to put in, so the last couple times I did it were as a duo. The caster staff legendary you pick up gives a CC immunity aura.

[Sheepherder]

If the stars align and the event thrown nothing painful at you.

Depends entirely on class.  Again, we don't give a fuck if you can solo shit on your DK, Druid, Warrior, or Paladin, we know you can Captain Obvious.

Vashj was very easy to solo.

You're full of shit.

[SurfD]

The only thing preventing many people from soloing Vash'j wast the cores rooting you in place when you picked one up, and the striders with their aoe Fear aura.   Now that they fixed the cores so you can move while holding one, the fight is pretty stupidly easy compared to the old days.  The striders are still a pain, but most people should be able to burn the boss to dead before they become much of a problem.

[Rokal]

Depends entirely on class.  Again, we don't give a fuck if you can solo shit on your DK, Druid, Warrior, or Paladin, we know you can Captain Obvious.

Mostly I've been solo'ing these raids on my rogue. Chess has never taken me more than two tries on any character I've done it on, and I've solo'd it every week on two characters for the past month. The fire can be bad, that is the only threat in the fight. If it hits your king, you need to drop what you are doing and move him out of it. That's the fight, in a nutshell.

You're full of shit.

Okay psycho. 

[Ingmar]

Depends entirely on class.  Again, we don't give a fuck if you can solo shit on your DK, Druid, Warrior, or Paladin, we know you can Captain Obvious.

Add rogue, hunter, and warlock to the list of classes that can successfully solo a lot of old content, and you're talking about over half the classes in the game, that's hardly some corner case "oh well if you do this exact thing..." I wouldn't be surprised if shamans are right up there too.

Also what's with the douchey attitude?

[Setanta]

Enhance Shaman can solo a fair bit - Wolves and Maelstrom heals plus burst damage.

Glass cannons as far as parts of Gruuls/TK/SCC are concerned though.

[caladein]

PTR is go.

Commentary by GC, Part One (http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/3615095/Explanation_of_43_Balance_Changes_Part_One-9_27_2011#blog):


From MMO-C (http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/2475-Patch-4.3-on-PTR), Priest and Hunter T13 previews:

[Ingmar]

Priest T13 is now my favorite armor art of the whole expansion, that's awesome.

[Lakov_Sanite]

It's not terrible, they could have toned the crown parts down a tad

[Sheepherder]

Rokal.  Enough said.

[Setanta]

At least hunter T13 isn't T2 dragon horns.

Just once I'd like a subtle hunter set - my poor Tauren has had to put up with looking ugly since vanilla WoW raid days.

[Rokal]

Agreed, you've said enough.

[Merusk]

Priest T13 is now my favorite armor art of the whole expansion, that's awesome.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. That's goddamn fantastic armor.

[Paelos]

Agreed, you've said enough.

I'm still not convinced you're not some PR bot from the future sent here to destroy us.

[Rokal]

I'm still not convinced you're not some PR bot from the future sent here to destroy us.

That's Lokar, watch out.

[Lantyssa]

I see through your clever anagram disguise, Lokar.

[koro]

A good-looking Hunter tier set? What the hell is this nonsense?

Also echoing the sentiments of how awesome the Priest T13 is.

[Sjofn]

Yeah priest T13 is pretty damn sweet.

[Sheepherder]

The "Inquisitor behind a soulless mask" look never goes out of style.

[Lakov_Sanite]

The "Inquisitor behind a soulless mask" look never goes out of style.

How exactly does that look on tauren and worgen priests?

[Miasma]

Yeah I don't know how they are going to make that mask work for Worgens.

[Merusk]

Extra large helmet!

How do the other close-faced helmets - like on the DK sets - work on those models?

[luckton]

www.wowheadnews.com has the armor in their Patch news article for you to dress up people in.

Yes, it looks silly on taurens.

[Miasma]

They usually push the whole thing forward and expose the neck (both under the helm and above the hunched back) to fur.  It's why hoods look so goofy on worgen too.  This design seems to have both a mask and a hood, the main fear is that it will be treated like a hood.

Edit:

So they cut off the bottom of the mask to make it work, it's not as good but I still like it.

[Simond]

PvP sets: http://www.wowheadnews.com/blog=195681/4-3-preview-season-11-pvp-sets#.

[Fordel]

The PvP Paladin armor would be great, if it wasn't for those random bits sticking out.

[Rokal]

That hunter pvp set looks pretty awesome too. Really solid job overall with the sets coming in 4.3.
