I use a voidwalker to tank her, but I've done the fight in all three specs. At least, that's what I'm told between her and Attumen, I'm ready to swear the mount doesn't exist. Onyxia got upgraded from level 60 to level 80 for WoW's 5th Anniversary, and now she drops a version of herself as a mount.

25-man raids tend to up the damage quite a lot and may be more trouble solo than they are worth. When it comes to soloing raids with a choice between raid sizes, I always assume the 10-man version. Young Storm Dragons also tend to melee very heavily, so consider bringing a voidwalker along if you're not not comfortable with your gear.Īs for Altairus: just avoid the vortexes if you're playing on heroic (or do get caught, for a chance to grab a golden orb!), and jump on the hasty side regardless of mode. Hit the Howling Gale orbs with a few Fel Flames to pass by DoTting them up doesn't hit fast enough to cancel the blowback swirly. Even in heroic, she won't hit you for very much at all (only around 13-17k per hit). Vortex Pinnacle pairs with Stonecore for mob levels.Įrtan is largely a tank-n-spank for casters like us. Get out your Banish if you want to use crowd control on the trash only the Cloud Princes will be immune to CC. Move out of his lava fissures on both modes and stand behind a spike when he does his Crystal Storm, if you're doing it on heroic.Īltairus may drop the Drake of the North Wind in normal or heroic Vortex Pinnacle, which lies in the far southeast of Uldum. If Slabhide pouts and disappears if you beat him down to the bottom, just back up the path a little and reapproach to get him to show his face. When you get to Slabhide's slalom, avoid the dark circles as you run down. My raid geared self managed to kill him in 32 seconds before he submerged, but your mileage may vary. On heroic, you'll need to AoE his shard mobs on normal, the shards stay inanimate and can be ignored. The heroic version has 85-elite trash and 87-elite bosses the normal has 82- or 83-elite trash and 84-elite bosses.Ĭorborus is a dance. It involved some multidotting, a few Shadowfury uses, and a little bit of kiting dancing from my 496 affliction sans minion in the heroic version.

The worst of it is Corborus's trash, actually. In Stonecore, Slabhide drops the Vitreous Stone Drake on either normal or heroic Stonecore in Deepholm. I'm talking dragons you can go beat up by yourself. Al'Akir has actually been soloed before by a warlock, but you'll need friends in order to clear his genie council first. I'm not talking about dragons that require friends by your side to complete: e.g., Deathwing's two dragon mounts, Ultraxion's mount, completing a dragonstick, or Al'Akir's dragon drop. So, while I wrangle out an adventure in tiers four to six, I will talk about killing dragons solo as a warlock in order to grab dragon mounts.

The next logical step would be Burning Crusade soloing, but I've tried and failed to make a glorified loot list more interesting to read, since BC content tends to be more 'walk in and win' nowadays than an actual soloing contest. I've already done some Raiding with Leashes vanilla raid posts. This week, Megan O'Neill beats up internet dragons for fun, for mounts, and maybe as a little catharsis. Every week, WoW Insider brings you Blood Pact for affliction, demonology, and destruction warlocks.
