Death Knight solos (most of) AQ20

Felblood, the Death Knight who recently soloed Zul'Gurub, sent us news of a new accomplishment: he's finished off most of AQ20 as well. Kurinaxx's Mortal Strike-like debuff apparently didn't affect Death Strike, so he just had to dodge the sand there, and apparently Moam's mana drain doesn't work on Runic Power, so he was just a tank and spank. Ossirian and Buru were a little tougher, but eventually with a little practice, Felblood says he was able to keep up DPS on the bosses and move around to their eggs and crystals.
It's not a full clear, however, since Ayamiss didn't get killed -- Felblood didn't think of a way to get away from her sacrifice, since he'd have been the only raider in the instance. But an accomplishment nevertheless -- it's crazy to think of how long we banged our heads on Rajaxx and Ossirian when they've now been toppled by just one level 80 Death Knight.
So what's next -- are we going to see the old 40-man content soloed? Wouldn't be too surprising with Molten Core, as we've already seen it 3-manned at 70, but things might get tougher as you head to AQ40 (where Felblood said he could down some trash, but not much else) or even Blackwing Lair.

So now you "non-casuals" get to QQ... get over yourself and give the guy his props.

How can people be dumb enough to believe this? An SS proves NOTHING. You can be in a raid group, but in a separate group within the raid, and nobody's the wiser when you take your SS of "soloing".
Ossirian is NOT SOLOABLE. It's simply not possible for anyone to move that fast to deactivate the crystals, while simultaneously DPSing him, dodging the tornadoes, and healing. I throw HEALING in there because it would take damn near 30 minutes at the minimum to bring down Ossirian solo (in terms of damage), and unless DK's have suddenly pulled a shitload of heals out of their butt, there's no way one could survive a fight with Ossirian. If he even ONCE makes it into surpreme mode (where he does 300% more damage and can kill ANY high armored class with 5 hits in less than 10 seconds), you're a dead man, even with healing ability.
So, I say bullshit. Complete bullshit. This cannot be done. Post a MOVIE about it, which clearly shows him taking down the boss without any help, and I'll believe it. A screenshot proves nothing.

That's a fine meal of words you've spilled out there. Ready to eat?

A friend of mine soloed I think all of BWL on his DK, and up to Huhuran in AQ40.
Mephator Dec 10th 2008 4:28PM
Screenshot or it didn't happen.
InsaneAssault Dec 10th 2008 5:00PM
Obviously you've never been in BWL before.
Kakistocracy Dec 10th 2008 6:21PM
Mephator, I understand your skepticism, but your gross lack of understanding of causality disturbs me.
In fairness, you are, most likely, parroting something you've heard before, but that is in no way a justification of such naivety.

Sorry, you can't solo Vaelastrasz the Corrupt AFAIC.
Burning Adrenaline = game over.
Kanuris Dec 10th 2008 9:27PM
Nor would it be possible to solo Razorgore, you have to keep adds off you while you control Razorgore to destroy the eggs.
Kast Dec 10th 2008 4:25PM
It's impossible to solo all of BWL, so your friend is lying.
forsakenwolf777 Dec 10th 2008 4:22PM
BWL is unlikely, especially with the second boss auto killing every what? 15 secs?
ootek Dec 10th 2008 4:32PM
can i has some info on the UI setup from the screenshot?
jurandr Dec 10th 2008 5:42PM
Xperl for the player and target frame, Runewatch for the rune timer thing in the middle. Both are on wowinterface.com
