I actually got the boss further down in health bu just doing it myself and kiting. Unread post by Rocheku » Sun Jan 09, pm in case your intention was to get past Skeram deeper into AQ40, there are 2 ways known to more or less use an "exploit" to mount through a wall and skip him. Since im not quite sure on how the petopia community feels about exploits tough, ill best not post it here. OT: He is indeed often a pain to solo for us hunters becuz of MC.

I have done it many times for loot since I solo tamed both Huhuran and Kri, and will be doing it again this lockout. Blizzard has been living dolls for making some of these guys tameable, but they aren't going to just HAND them to us.

I'm fairly sure this is a response to my post on Kri, so I will attempt to post my method here with a little less tantrum and a little more productivity. As the other poster suggested, I also went onto the platform behind Skeram. I had to fiddle a bit to find a place to target my pet at his feet with Move To, but once I did This is rather important, as the duplicates can drag your pet out of range. Or if you're feeling lucky, tag him first, quickly, so you can loot him after.

Lay there like a slug, target your pet, and every time Spirit Mend pops, have him Mend himself. As I posted in the other thread, I am now 85, with an average gear level of However, I did my first solo when the Shattering took place, desperate to have a giant Skittles wasp for my pending Goblin hunter.

Level 80, ICC25 gear. If you want them the way I wanted them, it's worth it. Or xfer to Moon Guard and I'll share this week's lockout. Managed to solo tame this guy and solo Prophet Skeram today.. My strategy was Spirit Beast for Prophet Skeram with this spec. Go up to the top of the platform and Feign Death behind the Pillar in the back right, make sure your pet stays up on the top and just do Spirit Mend when it's off CD, also have Cower on autocast, takes roughy 6 - 7 minutes for your pet to kill Prophet Skeram..

May take a few tries, but you'll get it. Now for the trash leading to the Trio.. Now once you're at the trio simply run in and use a Potion of Speed , pop Deterrence and begin Taming. Once this is done you can simply run out of the room and the they'll reset, congratulations on your new pet.

Managed to solo tame her and solo all the way up to her.. Since the trio is optional you don't have to go to them, that's unless you want to tame one of them. Make sure all the trash in the room is clear then proceed to pull him, I personally used my Spirit Beast again for this while I was in Feign Death, cast Spirit Mend when it's off CD and have Cower on autocast, will take you about 5 - 7 minutes for your pet to kill Battleguard Sartura Other than that when he hits around 20k HP you should be able to spam Kill Shot and get an easy g.

Im very happy I finally solo'd this boss sucessfully and I managed to solo tame Princess Yauj. GL on making that easy gold. Cheers thanks for the Spec! Comment by VolRath Just solo'd on 85 mut rogue k health. Just keep up Recuperate and kill the first 2 sets of adds. Comment by Lindentree An absolute cakewalk as a fury warrior in normal-blues and a couple greens. I went in expecting a ridiculously difficult solo, as he had been last time I tried him in 3.

I had 85 nature resist from tauren racial - though as has been noted previously, earth shock was nerfed to the ground so this wasn't a huge advantage - and Glyph of Bloody Healing.

Comment by Soltris My notes soloing as a demo warlock, ilvl This fight was easier before the self-healing nerf to fel armor, but it is still doable. I use demon armor now and a felguard on passive. You will not be MCd as long as you have aggro. Make sure to melee the boss so he's not earth shocking you. Burn and drain down to each split, and if possible have a split occur without a bunch of dots ticking it'll give you more time during your next drain phase. Instant dots, shadowflame and fel flame during split to burn down the extras asap, then it's back to draining the boss.

It's still possible to get an MC and reset after he blinks but it seems like a necessary risk and doesn't happen often. T my idea was to stay covered for the whole fight and let my pet kill the boss. If you are not out of LoS you'll be MCed, kill your pet, reset the fight and fail.

P x x When images spawn: pet takes B and I If this happens anyway you'll kill the pet but the fight will reset before your character reaches B Comment by Kremin Almost ridiculously easy as a level 85 combat rogue. I'm not even geared for Cataclysm heroics yet, just thought I would give it a go, and was pleasantly surprised.

He even reset once because I got mind-controlled and I just jumped right back in and burned him down again without delay. Keep Recuperate up every second of the fight. When he splits it really works to your advantage that they all attack at once, you can burn them down very fast by turning on Blade Flurry and using Killing Spree if available.

That's it. No potions of any kind, regulation poisons; slow green! Fight took maybe 4 minutes, he split 3 times, and as I said I almost had him beat once and just jumped in again when he reset. Comment by I was able to solo this guy on my holy priest, level I tried him at 80 and he ate me, so I have been wanting to come back and give him a try. It took me two tries to get the strategy down, and it didn't take too long to burn him down after that. First of all, don't use Shadowfiend. He will simply mind control you and reset if you do.

He constantly interrupts casting, so you can't really do too much. The only part where I took enough damage to need more than the bubble was during the split phase, which he does three times during the battle. During this phase, I used the same technique on the two adds, then back on the boss after they were both dead. However, I also used a Renew and Prayer of Mending to keep myself up. That's it!

Comment by i figured out how to solo him. All you need is a lvl 85 BM hunter along with a turtle or tenacity pet, the pet must have Silverback on. You sneak to the back of the temple near the wall, BUT don't hug the wall, stand close to it, send in your pet on Skeram, when Skeram splits send your pet to attack the clones because the unwanted dmg will kill him you wanna pay attention because your pet will run back to you which is a risk of MC after he kills the clones you put your pet back on the prophet and you repeat until he is dead.

Comment by Marcopilon Soloable as frost mage Put your frost armor, and drink some armor potion right before pull. Be sure to have a decent rotation between ice barrier and mana shield.

Use your orb and cone of cold to have crit icelance some more dps. Use a second armor potion as soon as the cooldown permits it. Comment by Just wanted to say, this is soloable. I did it at 85 on my fury warrior by just beating the crap out of anything that moved as any good warrior should.

Comment by Zalathar Solo'ed as an enhance shammy. After getting fairly frustrated, realized my totems were preventing me from staying at the top of the aggro list. Engage without totems, drop the weaker adds from splits, then self-heal as needed when just main boss is up. Pop sham. Comment by Solo'd as 85 BM Hunter with only a couple of epics and the rest ilvl blues. Tried what user shadeorites said a few posts ago and found that if you don't super click!

Prior to sending your beast at Skeram, switch to , which casts also onto your Tenacity beast. It seems to help for some reason, even though it drops off once combat starts. Not sure why, but keep it up for your own resistances to the other spells cast by Skarem which DO hit you even at great distances. If you are above 80 you should be able to Resist most of the damage and tick heals faster than what is taken.

Begin the Battle: Send your beast in and just before it starts to go down the stairs, cast Bestial Wrath , it will be the only time it will be in LoS to do this. Don't move around unless your pet is attacking a ported Skeram further away from you, then get in decent range to ensure the pet doesn't de-spawn on you. Do not cross the line shown above. Do not try to heal your pet! That requires LoS and is fatal. You'll notice your pet does just fine without you, as long as you focus it on the clones to get their DPS off of the pet once dead.

Tactic may work for casters with minions, though they may draw more aggro. The boss resets faster and you can ress your poor carcass, erm, pet if needed. If the pet maintains aggro but one of them are out to get you and you do not choose to use this Rate me up if this was helpful in some way! Easier now with easier to get raid gear in the 80's, but same problems when newer 80's are with lower tier gear as above.

Improved Hunter skills still do not make up for the mechanics of this boss. For testing I put on my same iL gear as above and same tactics apply. Comment by This guy can be killed by hunters in a very straightforward, yet irritating, process. Just remember these tips and you'll be fine: -Send your pet in and only use Kill Command.

Comment by Darkicon How to solo The Prophet Skeram as a hunter: It took me a little while to figure out the trick to soloing him and here it is.

Some of it will be resisted and with Spirit Bond , it shouldn't be a problem but if you think it will be or you don't have Spirit Bond, you can bring along an Elixir of Mighty Fortitude for it's 20hp regen every 5 seconds. You're going to want to start off the fight with a high damage burst to get him as low as possible very quickly and you'll want to misdirect that damage to your pet. Before you send your pet in, you must tag him first.

If you are out of range, they won't MC you. At this point you have 3 Skerams you can attack but only 1 is the correct one, which is the one with the most health. Instead of having your pet attack the right one, have him kill the others so you can help DPS Skeram. What I did was have my pet kill one, then attack the other and I ran just close enough to fire off a Chimera Shot to help my pet. Once both the adds are dead, you can help DPS the boss.

I don't suggest having your pet just attack the correct Skeram otherwise you will be overrun with copies and your pet will take a lot of damage and since you can't risk running in and using Mend Pet, he'll die.

That's it, just repeat that until Skeram is dead. You must resist the urge to DPS the adds, you cannot risk doing anything because you will most likely be MC'd. Comment by I solo'd this guy as a hunter in a very bizarre way. I went in with my pet and I ended up killing my pet while I was mind controlled. Since I was the only one left, he disengaged and that's when the glitch happened. Even though he disengaged, I was still super big and I still had the amazing damage increase.

I just mounted up while I was still huge to look how big I was and it was ridiculous. I one shot the boss right after I dismounted. Wish I had it on video Comment by ghmaster8 soloed this on 40 mode with my lvl 80 shadow priest at first i was trying to do it with my friend but he kept mind controlling her and doing crazy amount of damage on me, so i told her to wait by the entrance and i solo, this is how i did it: first off you should use all your dots and mind blast when you have at least one orb then redo all dots because after the first phase it will be near impossible to do a non instant cast, use your pet as much as you can and cast fade right after summoning it so you will have a bit of a free time to cast mind blast and VT, when he splits into 3 you should put SW:P on each and DP on last one, then just spam holy nova until they are all dead ofc you should consider casting SW:D on one of them and repeat.

Comment by haaroon whew, this takes a bit of practice. My poor early tries and fails were as destro but imagine it's doable. I don't know why, but you seem to hurt him much less if you get charmed while adds are up vs being charmed just vs the main boss. After each add wave, make sure to heal the felhunter to full as if you get charmed during any set of waves you need him to survive.

Then rinse and repeat. I found the first two waves typically went really well, the third wave for some reason i typically got more unfortunate charms, but just take a few tries and it will get done.

Comment by Finally soloed this today on my warlock. Portal up top on the edge and keep corr and agony on the adds with doom and corr on the boss at all times. Comment by just soloed as ele shammy. Comment by I read something about a demo lock doing this by sending in his pet and setting up a port to the side, out of LOS. He put dot's on the boss and grabbed an add off his felguard. For me, this was not necessary as I have just defeated him while only putting up Curse of Elements, Bane of Doom, and Corruption on the boss once.

I dotted him up ported immediately and let my felguard do the rest, controlling my demon from afar. When adds spawned, I would be ready for it and send my felguard to attack the boss while felstorming.

Adds died, back on boss. Rinse and repeat whenever I could. My gear is alot of ruthless, as I pvp mostly. I don't know if I just got lucky or what but I will continue the strat of letting my demon kill him from now on.

It seems to be sooo much easier. Plus, even if my demon was to die, which he was alittle close to it , the boss is almost dead then. Meta and finish it. Comment by 0nysablet88 I soloed this with my mage.

Even in slpit it deacreases the damage a LOT if one of the "fakes" isn't casting it. Also don't pop mirror images, because it causes you to get MC'ed suprise suprise, you're not alone anymore Did this in frost spec because the insta-casts and ice barrier.

I probably could had pulled this off in arcane spec too if I'd figured the tactics out sooner. Comment by Moreofme Easily soloed now. As a ret paladin. I just killed one of the copies, then began hitting on the real boss. Then when he summoned the second one again, I killed it and went back to the boss, so one copy was up all the time.

Comment by wolf Managed to solo as resto shaman. Tried in ele spec b4 but failed. Don't put up any totems. Might be that passive totems work but i didnt want to try and it is not really necessary. Use Flametongue Weapon. Make sure you can easily cast Lightning Shield and use Primal Strike. DPS him down in melee.

Use Earth Shock and Flame Shock and constantly renew the lightning shield. Use Primal Strike every CD. Heal yourself once a while using Riptide. Do the same on the copies. Takes a while but gets down eventually. I wasn't MCed once. Fought him where he stands. Hope this helps :.

Comment by Saphira I can't believe no other hunter has thought of this, but: Put your pet away! That's right, if you melee him he won't MC you, so put your pet away and smack him with your stick. No BM spec, no spirit beast, no hiding behind rocks. Will be even easier in MoP when we will have no minimum range.

Use his teleports as a chance to get a couple shots off. When he split I was able to shoot one clone down before it got to me. Traps for some extra damage. Current ilvl is , though you could probably do it in less. He died in a couple minutes and I got to loot. Easy peesy.

Comment by Darkmanian I've never been successful with this boss while in a small group because of the MC and split. But finally there is an honest chance to solo the Prophet at level Comment by Centaurian So soloable as BM hunter with shale spider.

I got spider pet to attack and sank one serpant sting before running to left area of steps. Kill command when available but you will not need no shots from here out. There is an area under the left and right side to go under that keeps you safe from mindcontrol and you stay under there until pet kills all three of them. Just hit kill command when it comes up. I am level 85 but no reason a lower level can't do this.

A note for all classes: if you go up the steps and run off ledge at the deepest point the boss will reset. Comment by Just a quick note to say that I did not earn any rep from killing this boss or his images, today. Not an ounce of rep with the Brood of Nozdormu; just the item drop Qiraji Lord's Insignia , which on turn in is worth rep. Killed him while honored. Comment by healingenzo I know being 85 makes it different. But still. This is a very simple solo fight. I am a Hunter With k HP.

I had to balance : 1. Damage to me. Healing Arcturis 3. Fight time under 5 minutes. No tricks. Comment by Kokiron this dude was piss easy to solo as a 90 balance druid. Just spam moonfire and sunfire and faceroll your way to victory. Comment by mykro9 Please help. I am getting spammed with an earth shock from Skeram about every half second, on my 90 elemental shaman, and I am getting spell locked with any castable attack and heal.

These spell locks are all instant with no cooldown, so I can never get a heal off. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to know something about the way he attacks or the way I am attacking to prevent this? I just get earth shock spammed to death, as I get spell locked when I try to heal.

Comment by Jenelope Soloers: Be wary of any sort of proc or trinket that triggers a spawned pet that will fight for you, or if you are a class with a pet.

Skeram will mind control you, and once he has you kill your pet, the encounter will reset since there are no more hostile elements attacking him. I had a guildie, blood DK at level 85, who had difficulty because he would sometimes proc blood worms and then get mind controlled.

As a warrior soloing him, I just stood there and spammed AoE attacks until he collapsed. Comment by Moshella Very doable! He spams Holy Lock, which made it impossible for me to cast anything but instants - so I just spammed Shadow Word: Pain and Holy Word: Chastise and he went down eventually. The fight probably took about ten minutes, maybe a bit less.

I just kept myself alive with Power Word: Shield and Renew. I didn't even run out of mana! And got my Mini Mindslayer! If a noob like me can do it, I daresay anyone can! Comment by Some information and advice if like me you are not an amazing player. If you are soloing, and you have a choice of character, it is strongly advised that you use a non-caster. It is certainly doable as a caster, but it will be extremely difficult.

Scorch is unusable for this fight as it has a cast time. Instant Pyro every 90 seconds would have been helpful. Now that 5. Presence of Mind is the best tier 1 talent for this boss. None of mine were helpful. Ones that empower your instant abilities such as Glyph of Cone of Cold , or that improve your survivability such as Glyph of Armors would be more useful. Gear: Combination of dungeon gear cataclysm, both normal and heroic , and mop stuff from the auction house, average item level of I forgot before the start that Haste would be useless.

Other items: G91 Landshark Super Healing Potion I didn't have a strategy for this fight, I honestly wasn't expecting to be able to do it. I made mistakes all over the place, but hopefully you won't be as stupid as me and will perform better. He interrupts all of your casts and locks you out of that spell tree, so the first thing you do to pull the boss is the only opportunity for a spell with a cast time.

With this in mind, I opened with Pyroblast. I used Inferno blast every time it was available, and combustion immediately afterwards when that was available. Sometimes I got lucky with this and would get a Pyroblast proc. With the limited moves at my disposal, it is definitely worth using. I killed it a couple of Arcane Blasts later. Know your instants! Looking back at the combat log, I would have done more damage to Skeram let alone his clones only using Arcane Blast and not using Ice Lance at all.

It is worth scrawling through your spell book for instants that you may not normally use, as they could be helpful here. It may be helpful rearranging your action bars to have all of your useful instants in one place, even if it is a pain putting everything back afterwards. Only use useful buffs. Comment by Alright, so here's a little trick or whatever you want to call it Went to solo with my 89 DK, and eventually died because of my bloodworms making him mc me.

However, after being mind controlled about six times and killing many copies of him, dying, and running back to the instance, i was able to loot all of the dead bodies i had killed, getting the loot of i didn't get an exact number around bosses, even getting two of Jewel of Maddening Wispers.

And as another perk, each kill gave me rep with Brood of Nozdormu, so if you can tank a large number of these bosses easily, its a great way to farm rep quickly. I decided to petition a GM in case there was an issue with bosses in AQ.

Apparently there was an issue with getting loot soloing him and killing the clones, etc. The devs tried to fix it but it is still bugged no pun intended. The fix, apparently, was to not make him split up into copies at all any more - that, or I just killed him too fast. Either way, time to get your Mindflayers again, people! Comment by Pain in the ass as of 5. Have to dismiss elemental and even take off the dragonling trinket since he'll make you attack that too!

He'll perpetually lock your spells so all you can use is instant cast spells. Now that you're much higher level than him and he can't kill you he instead just disappears and reappears at full health! I don't want his loot, but gotta kill him to open the door. Took me forever stuck with using only instant cast spells, used to solo fly through this guy easily every week. Comment by Wartorious anyone else notice he spawns his clones again as of 5.

Comment by Hoplowe To easily solo as a 90 Mage, spam Arcane Blast and any other instant cast spells you have, alternating to another spec should he lock you. Try not to move too far away from where he first appears, or he'll despawn and you'll have to start over.

Just keep still and spam. Comment by Thaag Solo guide for Affliction: 1. Summon Succubus. Grimoire of Sacrifice the Succubus. You now have her little whiplash thing. It's not necessary but it's a little boost. Go engage the boss on his platform. Be ready to auto-attack. Keep doing all that. Switch as needed. Comment by Kreszenz Hoping this might help someone I came in this raid last night as an 81 resto druid iLvl and brought a 64 Warrior friend with me for fun.

He stood back at the top of the steps to watch, and I was able to fight without the boss aggroing him. I turned cat , Rake, Mangle 4 times, Ferocious Bite. I admit, I have no idea on how to maximize damage with cat and bear form I would appreciate no negative comments about that.
