Enhancement Shaman solos Sartharion 10 man

Sartharion seems like a doable fight, so I went to the Obsidian Sanctum and tried my luck. The thrash was not easy to clear, but I was able to clear it all inclusive Tenebron and Vesperon. Sadly the third Miniboss Shadron forces you to go into the Twilight Realm and if you try that solo he will despawn instantly. I had to bring a friend, Zlínka, to kill the guardian inside the Twilight Realm.
With his lieutenants defeated it was time to head for Sartharion. Wildly swinging axes, trusty wolves at my side and with heroism I rushed towards the Onyx Guardian.

Enhancement Shaman vs Teron Gorefiend

On of the best models and fun raid encounters in World of warcraft was Teron Gorefiend in Black Temple. The fight mechanics with killing of players and turning them into ghosts still is a pretty unique gimmick. Many guilds used this fight to compete on DPS during the burning crusade when wwscoreboard was still live.
I have always enjoyed this fight, but wasn’t sure if I could do it, due to the gimmick mechanics … and there was the fear about the thrash guarding Teron 😀 But you never know how things turn out if you don’t at least try!

Enhancement Shaman vs Hydross the Unstable

Hydross the Unstable is the first boss in Serpent Shrine Caverns, Zangar Marsh, Outlands. My quest to solo raid encounters brought me to SSC last week already to kill „The Lurker Below“. I hesitated a bit to try other bosses since they seem to have mechanics that make these fights somewhat tricky.
Hydross seemed the easiest, but it turned out I underestimated the fight a tiny bit 😀

Enhancement Shaman vs Skadi the Ruthless

Mount collectors and WotlK Players are still familiar with Skadi the Ruthless, the third Boss in Howling Fjord’s Utgarde Pinnacle. He has a low chance of dropping „Reins of the Blue Proto Drake“ and that make him an attractive solo target these days.
