Most extreme solo moments?
I can solo the panther boss in Zul'Gurub. How about you? What can YOU solo? Hogger doesn't count since he has lost his elite status.
I've soloed the Panther in ZG a few times now. Here is a video of it:
Why:
Something to do. It wasn't horrible money either before daily quests.
How:
The reason this is possible for a protection warrior (and I imagine protection paladin) is because of [Figurine of the Colossus]. By the time the panther boss vanishes for the first or second time your health will be pretty low. Using this trinket every time its off cooldown and your health is low allows you to get a full health through all the panthers beating on you. You can get to the panther boss in ZG while avoiding all of the trash mobs except for one group of 4 trolls that I haven't figured out how to avoid yet, short of invis potions.
What you need:
Protection Warrior (Or paladin!)
[Figurine of the Colossus]
Decent Gear
Three Shields, preferably epic. (I use S2, Sha'tar, SSO at the moment.)
Patience
No plans for the rest of the afternoon.
Why 3 shields? In the video above you'll see that I only brought 2 shields with me for that time. Left the third in the bank. Oops. You'll see me opening my character pane a few times through the fight to check the durability on my shield. All those panthers beating on you leads to broken shields. Half way through the fight my first shield breaks. After the boss is dead but before the panthers are my second shield breaks. I still lived through this while dual wielding a King's Defender and Sun Eater because the panthers don't hit very hard.
The total repair cost for doing this was 15g. The boss dropped 35g and two blues. Sometimes you'll get an epic aside from the armor pieces that can't be vendored.
The hardest part of the fight is spell reflecting the boss' Shadow Word: Pain. I missed a couple spell reflects which is why at one point I used Shield Wall / Last Stand. When the boss goes from Panther -> Caster form I count to 5 (One Mississippi...Two Mississippi) and then hit spell reflect. When spell reflect comes off cooldown I wait a second and then hit it again. There are usually 3 SW:Ps through caster phase. Its the Shadow Word: Pain that really hurts in this fight. If you can avoid most of those through Spell Reflect and Resists you'll be fine.
The video above is sped up A LOT. The fight takes around 25 minutes. Nobody wants to watch 25 minutes of panther fighting, so I increased the speed by a lot. The video is just to show that its possible.
