I think my best attempt was at ilevel 440, and I got him down to 20 percent or so. This WILL be soloable eventually, via improved gear, but it might be closer to the end of BFA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dragons of Nightmare (Mythic)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>At<s> 90 percent health, the Dragons spawn a Lumbering Mindgorger behind one of the portals in the arena. The Mindgorger will channel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/spell=214488\/devour-nightmare\">Devour Nightmare<\/a> for 80 seconds, upon which he will instantly wipe the raid. Since you can&#8217;t enter the portals while soloing, this means you have 80 seconds to defeat the Dragons before you&#8217;re dead. This interacts painfully with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/spell=203110\/slumbering-nightmare\">Slumbering Nightmare<\/a> effect, which WILL put you to sleep for 30 seconds during the Devour Nightmare cast. Thus, the DPS requirement is incredibly high and pretty much unattainable by a Protection Warrior for the time being.<\/s> I&#8217;ve now soloed them (in Fury spec, due to the high DPS requirements), so by definition they are no longer Unsoloable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trial of Valor (Mythic)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">All bosses, probably<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is pure speculation, because I LOATHE this raid, but I&#8217;m guessing Mythic ToV is unsoloable based entirely on the difficulty I&#8217;ve had soloing the place on Heroic (which I&#8217;ve done, barely). <strong><em>UPDATE:<\/em><\/strong> I&#8217;ve successfully soloed Mythic Odyn with an ilvl of 440, and Guarm as Fury with a 440 ilvl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nighthold (Mythic)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Undetermined. I&#8217;ve been able to solo four Mythic bosses so far, and the ones I&#8217;ve failed at feel more like large gear checks rather than mechanical impossibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tomb of Sargeras (Mythic)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Undetermined. I&#8217;ve soloed Goroth, Demonic Inquisition, Harjatan, and Sisters of the Moon. I&#8217;m guessing there will be mechanical problems preventing soloing of the later bosses (Sassz&#8217;ine, Desolate Host, Maiden, Avatar, Kil&#8217;jaeden).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Antorus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Imonar the Soulhunter (all difficulties)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><s><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/spell=247552\/sleep-canister\">Sleep Canister<\/a>s. Why&#8217;d it have to be Sleep Canisters? Once you get hit by your first Canister, you&#8217;re done. Why? Because you can&#8217;t avoid the Canister, which puts you to sleep for 12 seconds, plus another 8 seconds when it wears off and you get hit by the resulting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/spell=247565\/slumber-gas\">Slumber Gas<\/a>. You&#8217;ll get hit by another Canister before the Gas wears off, so you&#8217;re basically sleep-locked until Imonar manages to kill you. I don&#8217;t see this fight ever being soloable unless Blizzard makes mechanical changes to the Sleep Canister ability.<\/s> <strong>Update<\/strong>: Imonar IS soloable, if you go in as Fury and take a PvP trinket with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coven of Shivarra (all difficulties)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember the Odyn fight in Trial of Valor, and the annoying Hymdall\/Hyrja interaction? The Coven have a similar problem, thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/spell=253189\">Shivan Pact<\/a>; unlike the Odyn fight, the Coven don&#8217;t do any long spell casts that allow you to split them up long enough to do any damage (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/spell=245303\/touch-of-darkness\">Touch of Darkness<\/a> is too short, and it only happens when Asara is active). Even if they did, they have a health pool at least an order of magnitude greater than the shielded Valarjar, PLUS all of the Titan torment phases, so it doesn&#8217;t seem soloable unless the Pact ability is either nerfed or removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Essence of Eonar (all difficulties)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><s>I&#8217;m POSITIVE that this fight can&#8217;t be soloed on Mythic, due to the spaceship phase (hell, even large groups still have trouble doing this version of the fight). On lesser difficulties, I&#8217;m not 100 percent sure, but it certainly SEEMS unsoloable. The need to be in multiple places at once, plus waves of ranged mobs (damned bats), looks to be insurmountable for a melee class. I&#8217;d be happy to be proven wrong!<\/s> <strong><em>UPDATE: I (somewhat) easily soloed this fight at ilvl 440!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emerald Nightmare Ursoc (Mythic) Mythic Ursoc hits so damn hard.
