One mage and two hunters walk into Tempest Keep...

[pixelcurious]

No, it's not the start of a bar joke. At level 85, the lower dungeons and raids are even easier to do than before. My friend and I have been doing Kara with our hunters (my friend can almost solo the chess event!) So last night we were in Netherstorm to try for something in heroic Mechanar that she wanted for a RP set, and I said "Let's pop into

Congrats on 3 womaning it! But sadly, the mount drops off of Kael'thalas, not Al'ar. If it did, I'd be doing that weekly with my boyfriend since he and I have been duoing it since 80. :(

I've solo'd BT trash on a shadow priest in heroic dungeon gear. Haven't tried anything else since I've gotten a good chunk of raid gear. xD

[pixelcurious]

What!!! lol Okay, it's been too long. I had totally forgotten that Al'ar doesn't drop the mount! Thanks for setting me straight. xD

[wishingstar]

No problem! I can understand the confusion as it makes sense that the phoenix would drop it's own ashes, but nooo. Mr. I-don't-want-to-die-and-want-to-drop-yet-another-mount-somewhere-else stole them.

What bosses are you soloing and why

2-manning Kael'thas for the mount every week with my boyfriend. (I'm a heroic-geared feral tank druid, he's a very epically raidgeared resto/ele shaman.) No luck so far. ¬_¬

We also 2-man Onyxia 10 (also for the mount), although that's gotten put on the backburner because there isn't enough time in the world for all we want to do!

We've also 2-manned the entirety of Hyjal (the boyfriend needed a quest drop from Rage Winterchill, once we'd killed him we figured what the hell, let's do the rest as well), SSC (with the exception of Lady Vashj - we tried, but encounter mechanics mean phase 2 = ugh).

We might end up going to Black Temple next and seeing how far we can get...

No, I mean the Tempest Keep Kael'thas.

He never MCs the tank. So with one tank + one healer the only one getting MCd is the healer, at which point I just break him out using the dagger.

(I made a post on my weblog with strategy details on two-manning Kael'thas when we managed it for the first time, if you're curious.)

I've been soloing MGT on my hunter to help my friend's pally twink farm a trinket.

We tried to 8-man Sunwell the other night but the instance kept glitching out because we didn't have enough people :(

[sigrun]

This is why I wish they'd modify the raid id/lockout business. I want to do Kara, BT, & TK but don't have anyone to group with. :/

Right now I'm running both regular & heroic MGT for the pet & mount (respectively)*. I'm planning on heading to Outland soon to get the rest of the heroic dungeon achievements I need (and to start farming for Raven Lord).

(Though, as a blood elf, Kael'thas has dropped some great RP gear for me. Scarlet Sin'dorei Robes FTW.)

Once I quest out of Northrend & get some better Cata gear, I want to give the Icecrown dungeons a go. After clearing the Pinnacle last night, all I've got left are the Halls in Storm Peaks & the IC dungeons (and the Oculus & CoS, forgot about them :X) and then I'll have soloed every dungeon in the game-- with the obvious exception of the Cata ones. I'll get to them in the next expansion. :|

I've been farming BC Heroics on my hunter mostly, honestly. ;>> I'm a mount and pet collector so I've been going in to kick Kael'thas and Anzu in the rear every day. I'm trying to figure out which Northrend Heroics will drop me a mount without me needing to queue as a random, and then I'll be adding those to the list.
My Big!Paladin on the other hand, has been farming Magtheridon with a friend for tasty gold, and I'm hoping to kidnap someone to come with me to do Gruul's Lair. Hammer of the Naaru. Want. So. Hard. ;~;

[wishingstar]

The only two heroic mounts I can think of are from Utgarde Pinnacle and Culling of Stratholme. UP (Skadi the Ruthless) drops the blue proto-drake. CoS has the bronze drake from timed runs.

[pixelcurious]

There's the drake from Oculus also.

[wishingstar]

I forgot about that one. Probably because that darn mount eluded me for way too long, even with a daily Oculus for a good chunk of Wrath. :F
