Death Knight Soloing Ormorok the Tree-Shaper in Nexus HEROIC!

A new solo video from Deathet from EU, Quel'Thalas.

Tonight was possibly my biggest achievement in game, at least since the launch of Wrath of the Lich King anyway. Continuing my progress on soloing my way through as much of the game as possible I bring you... Ormorok the Tree-Shaper from Nexus HEROIC.

As per my normal rules, there were no buffs from Priests, Pally's, Druids or anyone apart from myself. I was on my own in Nexus with only myself and music to keep me company. However, this was the first time i've ever had to use consumables for a soloing attempt. After 5 or 6 1-10% wipes I decided I needed them. So in this video I was using the following

Flask of Stoneblood - Increases maximum health by 1,300
Food - Just a simple 60 Attack Power, 30 Stamina food I had handy.

This topped me up to 37,120 health and around 3.5k attack power. For this attempt I also had to use EVERY cooldown I had, everytime it was available to keep me alive. This included Jewelcrafting Trinket, Dreanei Racial heal and a Healing Potion.

Gear I used to solo is my full tanking set but in my solo tanking spec (62/4/5). This gives me over 35k unbuffed health now thanks to some new gemming and brand spanking new T8 Pants I picked up from VoA 10 man today! :D

Tricks of the trade (or rather things I learnt from my tries that will help you if you want to try)

He does a Spell Reflect that is a buff on him for around 10 seconds. This will reflect back your Icy Touch/pestilence however it will not reflect Plague Strike as this is classed as a melee strike. So during spell reflect keep Plague Strike-Death Striking to keep up your healing.

Try to keep your ghoul sacrifice for the Enrage stage, he hits very hard here (obv) and you'll need everything you can here! Getting hit by the crystal spikes even once during the fight will probably completely ruin your attempt as you'll have to use a cooldown that you will need later on.

Pop Army of the Dead at around 15%, this takes the pressure off around half way through the enrage to give you a chance to heal / bandage so you can get stuck in again and kill him asap!

Hope you enjoyed the video and I hope to bring more Heroic Soloing to you in the future! :D

fake? why cant we see the hp? prob just normal mode

[vultuk]

@Themetalass Well.. HP is right there and also check chat log at the end of the fight and you'll see it drops an Emblem of Heroism.. Also I love the way you decide to call fake on this like a year after it was posted, have you seen the things Death knights are soloing in current gear? :P

[darkkiller5000]

omg so low everyone has killed this boss pre 5. may ...

[vultuk]

I'm sorry but considering I was the first video here on youtube of any Death Knight soloing Heroic wotlk content I would disagree. Note that your first video showing you soloing Nexus was actually 2 months after this one.

I had up-most respect for your soloing videos but it's a shame that you show your true colours when you post things like this. :(

[darkkiller5000]

oh shit youre right i though i did that somewhere in march ok i take back everything but minelol had the worldfirst solokill of a heroic boss

[vultuk]

Ahh i'd not actually heard of Mionelol till you just mentioned him then. My DK wasn't even level 80 till 5 days after his video was released and it wasn't released on youtube (there's other video sites to post on? :O) so I just hadn't seen it hehe

[thCozarrd]

damn this really shows HOW much easyer they made the heroics from tbc...

[buymesightunseen]

he was saying that comparatively heroics were much harder in tbc then they are in wotlk
