Soloing heroics

[-ShadoW-]

<div>I've heard of some pretty crazy stuff on the mage forum about how wizards and others can solo ^^^ heroic named mobs.</div><div>I've been away from the game for a few months now and was thinking of roling a zerker. I want to know if zerkers are viable at soloing named heroic mobs as well as some of the mages do, if not is there any fight class that can?</div><div> </div><div>thx</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div>

<div>Personnally, I can only take on green heroics.  Stunning alot + open wounds + rampage usually makes me orange/yellow and them dead.</div>

<div></div><p>It depends how they Con to you. I can solo ^^^ Heroics 3 levels below me, named mobs 4 levels below me. Thats in general. Sometimes mobs are under-con''d, and hit a lot harder, some named mobs i simply cant take due to the class, e.g. i cant take an Illusionist named at all <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p> </p><p>Generally, solo'ing is one of the strengths of a zerker, the high mit, with good dps, and nice health regen give you a nice platform to build upon</p>

<div></div><div></div><p>It really depends on how you are geared and what kind of mob you are fighting.  Back when I was 60, I solo'd a few lvl 58 heroic named no prob, but back then, I had insane Mit and they were melee class mobs.  However, same time, I got one shot Ice Comet'd by the CQ3 named at lvl 60.  Had no chance, couldnt burn him down and keep him stunned long enough to kill him <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  But its really a case by case basis.</p><p>My wife plays a 67 wizzy, and has trouble soloing casters even with all her stuns, but melee mobs are a walk in the part.  So just pick your fights smartly and you can do alot of things.</p><p>Message Edited by Furaden on <span class="date_text">03-16-2006</span><span class="time_text">08:04 AM</span></p>

Knowledge of the mob helps as well, especially with named.   Kwi'the (the nasty guy with Ice Comet in Maj'dul for CQ3) casts slowly and his casting animations are quite visible.  Your knockbacks, interrupts, and stuns work very nicely to break his casting.  Mage and priest type mobs are pretty easy to keep interrupted.  Berserkers even have a Focus debuff.<div></div>

I can solo Named ^^^ greens and plain ole ^^^ blues at times.  It really boils down to gear, spell level and knowledge of the mob you are fighting.  Also switching your stances on and off helps alot.  All i gotta say is thank god for Vision of Madness Master 1 has saved my [Removed for Content] i don't know how many times on a named or hard heroic fight <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

You know...I used to think that we were pretty uber at soloing.  But since I know mages who can solo HoF...I feel pretty gimped in that department now.  <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

outrage interrupts too,can use almost the whole gamut of spells we got in order to solo named.<div></div>
