If you really mean tough heroics - none of them, some heroics can't be soloed.

However my rootskill was totally low, maybe with better roots it would have worked better, but i was shocked how my mana was going down much faster then his life, and when i tried animal form he whacked me down like crazy <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Well as an inquisitor I can solo nest, den (haven't tried soloing the devourer yet), almost all of mmc (haven't tried all the names), most of PoA...

Just add gear and adornments that builds on that ability. Always chose power reg over any other aspect. Then make an AA build that adds damage. Last part of making a soloing Fury is finding items and stocking potions.

As for heroics that are hard to solo Names in Nizara, certain names in CMM, one of the named ravasects on the way to the den (probably a lot easier for a pure caster/lockdown class to solo over an inquisitor), certain names in unrest, the queen in kaladim (more of just annouying than being hard), the final named fight in nek 3

Nizara is very funny since they still do AE's while mezzed so, in the end you would fail.

<p>...Guess you never learned the class, spent too much time on the rest of your characters.</p><p> I have no problem soloing the entire nest, sitting in very few fabled pieces, master 1/adept 3's.</p><p>7k pwr, 6k health, 700int, 600wis.</p><p> And whoever the nincompoop down there that is bad mouthing root, go play your "omgahz melee fury!" on the last boss in the nest. You'll die without getting the guy below 90%.</p><p>If for some odd reason, you're having trouble with the FIRST boss in the nest, you need to get better gear I suppose? That guy is so simple I just pop energy vortex and drop him in about 20 seconds...</p><p> Now the rest of the bosses, I will just chain HO's and DoT's to do damage, and avoid going oom.</p><p> Now the last boss.... takes me about 10 minutes to kill him... dot/dot/ho/dot/dot/ho, do that til about 80% power, drop a hib and regen on myself, animal form, melee back to 100% power. Gotta keep him snared otherwise he can hurt.</p><p>And then to just showoff I can blurt out "I solo'd the scrollbearer at 67!".</p>

Why would it be noninstanced mobs? All the biggest challenges are in the instances....

Nizara has some hard mobs, but the equivalent in CMM are harder, with a potential exception of the boss of nizara. Hardest mobs in KoS (heroics mind you) -> Carnivorgan, and the boss mobs in PoA (all contested) Hardest mobs in FD -> Nizara (instanced) Hardest mobs in EoF -> CMM (contested)

Unless it is to conserve power~

Battle Clerics FTW. I have both a fury and an inquisitor. Battle Cleric is far better dps then the fury. Gotta love those spell to combat arts conversions <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> And before you flame, I know battle clerics that off tank epic adds in EH and I know druids and shamans can't do that.

Um. . . .no. I have a Battle Cleric Inquisitor and a Vortex Fury. It's not even close. Fury dps >>>>> Inquisitor dps. That said, my quizzie could offtank if she had to, where I wouldn't want the fury trying that. Both can take on even-con heroics without too much trouble, but the fury's definitely done with the fight faster.</p><p>Yes, I *can* make the parse on a raid with either, but if the quizzie does it it's becuz I was trying realllllly hard to get on the parse, and even then I'll be at the bottom and lucky to have made it. I can have my fury be 3-5th on the parse when raiding with the same people without hardly trying at all. </p>

Still with 50% avoidance and mitigation plus heal over time spells worth hundreds of health points each tick, the Fury class needs not be a timid finger waggling rooter. I have not yet found an NPC (non Epic) that can not be soloed with the right strategy by a Fury.

Furies are nuking/healing/rooting finger wagglers. We don't have plate or chain, we don't have 10 foot tall kite shields. We have leather armor and bucklers. And I am very curious how you are pulling 50% avoidance.... do you have like all agi gear and no int/wis stuff? And.. umm... *not yet found one*... you're level 48, come on man, atleast get to a decent level before saying that crap. I've run into quiet a few mobs that are unsoloable.
