[Guide] Solo Raptor & Tiger boss as a Warrior!

[evilegrob]

How to solo Zul'Gurub rare mounts
As a Warrior

Preparation:

Fury specc, preferably with Blood Craze and Bloodthirst.

Glyph of Bloodthirst - Item - World of Warcraft

Tanking gear with as much shield block rating as u can get!

Trinkets that you could use are something that increases your HP, for higher beneficial use with Enraged Regeneration.

Repelling Charge - Item - World of Warcraft - I'm using this.


**NOTE**
Keep away from AXE THROWERS!



Raptor boss - Bloodlood Mandokir:

First off, this fight various alot, and if you don't keep Bloodthirst up almost 100% you can die really fast! Keep sure to have berserker rage off cooldown, he fears about every 30-40second or so.

He's got a raptor pet with him, which does sunder armor on you. I prefer killing the raptor so it doesn't hit me while im stunned. The thing is,
that when you kill the pet, Mandokir goes into an enrage mode for 60seconds or so, pop shield block when he does to give it a smooth start.

He also does some whirlwinds now and then, if you like you can run out of it (but do not face your back to him, strafe away!) but i dont mind staying in it.

1. Blodthirst spam.

2. Keep an eye out for fear.

(3.) Heal yourself + Defensive abilities / trinket. (Only if you go below 50% hp, if not save it!)

That's basically the whole fight, unless you want to run out of whirlwind / dont kill the pet. Pray for the mount to drop

Tiger Boss - High Priest Thekal:

First off, theres a secret pathway for getting into this boss without fighting any trash! Outside, around the walls theres a huge pack of tigers, run up by hugging the wall next to them,
theres a small hill up there which you can "walljump" up, and run straight to the boss. I'll take screenshots of it next time i go there if wanted!

Thekal has 2 adds with him, a rogue and a shaman. The rogue disarms and gouges you, while the shaman heals and use bloodlust.

Gouge can be removed with Berserker rage, bloodlust can be dispelled with Shield Slam and use Shiled Bash when the shaman triest to heal. You'll see huge yellow glow around the hands, easy to catch!

But theres a small trick, all 3 have to die at the same time, within 15-25seconds of eachother, if not, they will start ressing eachother and you have to fight them all over again.
So dps them down until you reach about 5-15% hp, wait for the shaman to heal, interrupt it then start nuking them down 1 by 1.

After this the main boss will spawn, a huge tiger. He does a Forced Knockback, so stand close to a wall so this doesnt throw you away, no matter what you do, make sure your back is not faced against the trash mobs infront of the boss.

Also, do not fear the small tigers he spawn, do not worry about them at all, they barely hurt at all.

1. Blodthirst spam.

2. Keep an eye out for heals.

(3.) Heal yourself + Defensive abilities / trinket. (Only if you go below 50% hp, if not save it!)

Basically for both bosses, keep spamming Bloodthirst at all times. I have no problems having 80-100% hp at all times, and your gear does not have to be full tier7.25 either.
I've done this with early random offset tanking gear with no problems at all!

(I searched around, could'nt find anything so please tell me if it's a repost! I'll delete it right away.)

Nice, can't confirm it works tho since i don't play warr :/

[xsx]

I`ll try it when i log my warrior

[evilegrob]

I've seen a guy claiming it's possible to do with protection specc, but i didn't make it, best try i got on mandokir was 20-30% on his HP =/ Really intensive fight

[chubidu]

It's possible to clear zg completly solo as prot warrior.

Here's a screenshot

Mandokir is quite difficult but Thekal is very easy.

tactic fot thekal: set focus target on the mob which is healing, use shockwave, focus target macro for shieldbash, use concussion blow each time it's ready

mandokir: there are two different way's to kill him. the one way: just focusing mandokir, using Enraged Regeneration at 70% of your life so you can use it twice in the fight. other method is killing the raptor first then mandokir
both tactics are a bit difficult but with some practice it works

hardest boss is High Priestess Jeklik, just nuke and use enraged regenration and interrupt the heal.

[evilegrob]

Thekal is quite easy as prot yeah, but i found Mandokir quite hard, might be easier now though my gear has improved alot with 25man gear etc, but i find it quite easy as Fury

Spam spam bloodthirst and u'll never drop down more than 20% hp Unless your'e really out of luck with parry / miss / mortal strike etc ^^

[superfly19092]

what are the stats u should have when attemping this? like hp block parry etc.?

and if this is possable can u make a guide for warrior solo the bird boss in heroic sethek for the raven lord mount?

[evilegrob]

Shield block rating, but so long you got a decent tanking gear to do heroic 5mans at lvl 80, and spam bloodthirst you should be just fine
and save enraged regeneration for when you really need it! (if you happen to go low on HP)

[Smygelito]

Is there any guide for rogues? Or rogue might not be able to do it?

[conzo2123]

It is possible, All you need is good avoidance and HP.
Chubidu, It would be nice if you tried to make the pic you linked alot bigger, cant really see anything.
Thanks for the post anyway.

[evilegrob]

Avoidance doesn't help when you are stunned / feared though, which mandokir does alot, and lands some nasty 3k hits on you.

Got no idea if they can do it or not, but i would imagine it must be quite hard for them to do!

[Truckrager]

I do it every 3 days as prot.
My gear leaves me at 29k hp, 540 def, about 22/16/20 dodge parry block.

Tiger is easy, i don't even need to enraged regen on that fight anymore, Burn the two tigers down straight up, burn the boss down to 30k hp, burn the non mana using add down to 30k, burn the healer down to 30k, then tab shield slam/revenge, until they are all at about 10k then just go nuts, I set focus on the healer so i can see her casting and interupt it with either shockwave or shield bash.

then finish him off when he repops, still no mount though.

The Raptor is 100x harder. I make sure i have a stam scroll up, and com shout the whole fight. I burn the raptor down, then hit shield wall, after that is down i use shield block, and try to take as little as possible during the enrage. After that when i hit about 55% HP I pop last stand, repelling charge and enraged regen, that brings me back to full and i keep going. By the time enraged regen is up again i'm normally on about 5-10k health. I then pop it with repelling charge and finish him off.

Sometimes I get a bad RNG and he gets a few 3k hits in on me, or more than normal, then I shadowmeld out of combat heal up and start again.

[evilegrob]

Thats the beauty of being NE, you can actually reset him! Saves alot of gold^^
