Solo: Lich King :)

Same actors, same scene, different outcome!

Ironically, this was going to be my last attempt for tonight... :)

LK's main challenges are:
1) Practice of cooldown usage in p1. They're used *very* strictly and if you don't have that practice, you'll probably wipe in p1 endlessly (which is what I initially did)
2) surviving transition phases. This is insane and requires, again, extremely precise cooldown management and positioning.
3) Finally, the obvious DPS race. This fight lasted an exact 15 minutes, not a single second more or less - I spent the whole evening wiping between 11 and 12% and finally, finally did it, through more Vengeance stacking and better play on my part (oh .. and maybe a lil bit crit RNG I guess? :p).

There's no particular clever trick, however, and I honestly think some other solos such as Yogg were *harder* in terms of thinking outside the box. Here I'm basically excecuting the fight as clean as I can, grabbing every possible bit of DPS along the way. However, I didn't encounter any boss so far that was as exhausting as LK was in terms of raw DPS requirements. Especially since, while I do have tons of 391 gear, I'm still rockin' little 372 Akirus. ;) If you think DPS requirements aren't worth of a "challenge", I guess pre-nerf Baleroc/Cho'gall would like a word with you.

FAQ:

Necrotic Plague : cannot target the tank. You need it to clear the ghouls/vrykuls from phase 1, however. The trick is to put an engineer dummy to drop aggro for a split second, LK gives you the plague, outheal it, then proceed. Use either AMS/Chains of Ice or Potion of Purification to remove it/prevent it from affecting you again.
Valks : Buggy as hell. Can't target the tank, they just mess around. They finally stop eating popcorn and grab me at some point... you'll have to watch to see when.
Defile : I stand in some of these on purpose in order to increase Vengeance. It has to be done very carefully, since both p2 and p3 are very healing intensive phases (p2 because of Infest which means I can't dip too low on health, p3 because of vile spirit explosions)
Frostmourne: Yet another mechanic that doesn't target the tank. Wouldn't be difficult to overcome in any way whatsoever, but would make beating the enrage impossible, so I guess that's a good thing it's not there.
What's next? It wouldn't be fun if I already told you everything right? Getting surprised is awesome.

@leagueofpwn1 258k. WTS eyes to this young fellow here.

[hoodedfiend1]

All I have to say is this is pretty impressive. Also odd how the Valkyire didn't drag you off as well.

[lucasina1]

yeah...The only reason he defetead lk alone in 25 player mode it that the Valkyrs dont work...So that a server bug and it also a private server it not so hard to defeat the lich kyng alone.

[erik7271]

you are more powerful then the litch king how doese it feels?

[anno41]

ps : evry time i say that people start to rage at me

[anno41]

@TheBradtad93 erhh im not sure what u mean , i like this vid if thats what u mean?,but i mean i like so see more skill in the game and less gearing up

[TheBradtad93]

Miones a guy! Look in g chat. GG BOBY!

[TheBradtad93]

@anno41 Why? Because someone can kill a boss thats an expansion behind? Or because someone actually is skilled?

[Kretias]

@TheShanks50 Mal ganz davon zu schweigen das sie direkt nach seinem Lich King kill den Valkyren bug behoben haben der dafür sorgte das Mionelol am ende nochmal gegriffen wurde weil die valkyren nicht despawned sind. Warum sollten sie das sonst tun wenn er nicht solo gemacht werden kann? :) Bei ner 10/25man gruppe wars in ganz WotLK nicht nötig.

[Kretias]

@TheShanks50 Richtige Cooldown benutzung. Mastery. Death Strike. Alleine ein blick in die beschreibung würde ausreichen denn da steht alles drin. Das DKs einen gewaltigen selfheal haben ist bekannt (soviel dazu das du ahnung vom spiel bzw dem DK hast). Dazu kommt das sogar Raegwyn (österreicher auf einem Deutschen OFFIZIELLEN Realm) den LK solo gelegt hat. Und wenn selbst blizzard ein offizieles statement dazu abgegeben hat brauchst du hier garnichts mehr bezweifeln^^. Du hast keine ahnung.

@ArnTheGreat For LK I'm not an engineer so I can't get the plague rolling but I've been able to AE most of them down, however come P3 I either fall behind in healing so the DoT kills me or... Well, basically the DoT kills me. What kind of gear were ya running for that? I imagine full DPS for Halion and full stam/mastery for LK?

[ArnTheGreat]

Hoping you get a notification to know of this reply. I have a question about this and your Halion kill. I only recently decided to start soloing on my DK and I've managed everything from MC to ICC Sindra, (Save the first boss in ICC and Mimiron, I had to get help on. Due to getting impaled, and Mimiron needing someone to hit the head.) I have an issue on Halion and LK. Halion just seems to be a DPS race - Your iLevel is about the same as mine when you did it, but were you mostly DPS Gear?
