I know this is kind of old, was able to solo Moroes with ease, 40k hp, 40% dodge, 30k armor, How ever was I was wondering has anyone had any luck soloing R&J in the opera event... Kind of hard... haha. ~Nasarul .-= Nasarul´s last blog ..Photos! =-.

Update: Got Shade today. Not super hard with a revised strategy. I was using the wrong tool for the job! Went Boomkin, Resist Flask, Polar Chest, popped a +50 all resist pot right before the pull, another when the adds spawned.
While I was able to heal myself a whole lot better not being feral for this fight, mana was a major problem. Ended up going with a wonky spec that took Intensity, Dreamstate and OF. No Eclipse, which was fine since Wrath chews up mana so bad. Was mostly hitting him with Moonfire and Starfire, occasionally Insect Swarm. Dropped Treants every time they were up, which was great because Shade targeted them a lot. Still, spent a lot of time meleeing and healing myself while waiting for Innervate.
Soloing Chess, didn’t go so well. Working on that now.

I am a bit late to this party! Was searching the web for info about other Bears soloing Kara.
I have been trying it lately. Here is what I have found out.

Attumen: Very easy.

Maiden: Very Easy

Moroes: Tricky.
I found I have to burn down the healer asap, no surprise there. I rotate through survivability cooldowns, barkskin every time its up. Some times I can get a heal off when he vanishes, but some times he gets me in caster form, so I only try it if things are really dicey. Fight doesn’t last long enough to use SI twice, so I time it for when he comes back from a vanish. Still, he has killed me twice of the 6 times I have been there.

Moroes trash: So fun! Grab two packs for added fun factor, and to clear faster.

Trash to Opera: Very Easy.

Opera: BBW: Can’t do it. Either running or feared nearly the whole time.
Opera: R&J: Can’t do it. Can’t interrupt Juliet’s heals
Opera: Oz: Brute Force
Finally got Oz last night for the first time. Got them on the first attempt. Nothing complex, just cooldowns, swipes and Mauls for the most part.

Curator: Easy
I was surprised. Curator was actually really easy.

Illihoof: Very Easy
And SOO fun! Yeeess!

Shade of Aran: Very hard.
I didn’t even get close. Going back in a day or two. Since he is a caster, his nukes chew up a Bear pretty bad. And he uses Arcane, Frost and Fire. Planning on using a Flask of Chromatic Wonder (+35 all resist), popping a magic pot (+50 all resist for 3 minutes) right before the pull and one in the fight, and putting on one piece of Polar. When I soloed Skerram in AQ40, putting on more NR was the key. Thinking this will be similar.

I myself play a feral druid in mostly naxx 10 gear some 1 piece of t8.5 t7.5 and 3 pieces of t7 and i have soloed attunmen several times, and maiden is pretty much a cake walk. although tonight i have spent a good hour to 2 hours trying everything to kill moroes. my strat was to root the ms war and pop bezerker and try to kill the holy pally/shadow priest as fast as i could. once all the adds were down keep demo roar up and pop out to heal when u can(during vanish) best i got was 30k out of 270k which is well beyond his enrage. although i believe glyphing into improved frenzied regen and survival instincts could put me over the top and be able to bring him down. theres my 2 cents

I did this (Attumen) a few times now (and also Maiden) and all I can say is: it’s definitely possible for a feral to solo with decent ~Naxx25 gear (or equal). Only thing i found out is, what is essential for a soloing feral druid: passive healing! You can’t get enough of it! So, for your specc, you HAVE TO spend that 2 points for Nurturing Instinct. It counts towards your FR AND LotP as well, so it’s a great deal to keep yourself alive.

tbh, I have more +heal stats as feral in tank gear than with full resto specc and some +spell items. This, some luck and about 33-40% dodge will keep your HP up a long time when fighting Attumen. Just make sure you pop every “oh sh*t!!”-button once the rider joins the fight, and then everytime your cd’s are ready. Once he merges with his mount he is piece of cake since you’re only getting like half the damage you were getting before.

Hey BBB, I have been back to Kara at the weekend, with a raid team of 3 (Rogue, Shaman and Bear).

Atumen went down very quickly. Moroes we took some time to get kill orders right, but he went down really quickly, only managing to dissappaer once. The shaman did a great job of dps and healing.

We thought we would go see Maiden, but didn’t think we would manage it – she went down like a sack of spuds :D

On to Opera, we were confident that if it was Romeo and Juliet or Little Red Riding Hood we should be OK. We got the easy choice, Little Red Riding Hood.

To cut a long story short, we managed to clear the whole of Kara in about 4 hours, just 3 of us! Each boss, we thought would be our last. Even Chess was possible, after a couple of attempts. At Netherspite I was suggesting we just pack up and go home, the Shaman made us stay and kept the fight going until somehow, we beat it down.

It was truely epic fun and well worth it. We will be going back again this weekend to try and get the Mongoose enchant.

BBB/Rhas;

My self-confidence duly acknowledges the indirect massage afforded by you guys having not succeeded! It’ll be interesting to see what level of gear we will need to get him down solo – maybe not til t9?

Cybelline, Rhas, the answer is, NO, BBB cannot solo Attumen/Midnight.

Gave it a shot on Tuesday, could not do enough damage with the continual curse on me to make a difference. I couldn’t see a way with my current gear to solo it.

With so much as a single DPS standing behind him and nailing him, it makes all the difference.

So there! Confirmation that I ain’t all that uber, neither. It’s not just you.

yeah i tried to solo attumen today too, no luck, with 2pc t7.5 + 2pc t7. 1st time got nowhere near winning, 2nd time the other guy in my raid group left the group and i got auto-hearthed back to dalaran.. just so you know, make sure whoever’s in your raid group will be around awhile, hehe.

we used to use one tank for all of kara back in the day, there is a way to stand facing maroo’s that the garotte won’t ever hit you, i’ll try soloing it this way and get back with the results
