Two Man Classic Raids??

Howdy,

I've been trying runs with a friend who is a lev 80 Epic Fury Warrior. He can clear out all of the old 10 man Dungeons solo. I just sit back and watch/loot. I can imagine with just one healer Molten Core and Nefarion are easy kills. Onyxia was easy with one ranged, one healer and the Fury Warrior. I have a feeling that would be the combo to beat any of the CLASSIC Dungeons.

Even the Burning Crusade dungeons were easy to do with the new lev 80 Epics. As we all know, the greens in the expansions blow away a lot of our blues. The blues were better than classic raid epics. What a shame!

How many players out there have tried one of the older raid dungeons with 2 to 3 friends. With the new Epic Gear and level cap at 80, it seems to be a possibility. Maybe go out and try Molten Core with a Death Knight and a Healer. Maybe a Pro Warrior and Druid or Priest.

What Raid Dungeons have you tried with a 2-3 man squad? What would be your chosen 2-3 classes?

Happy Hunting!|||Quote:

Last old school raid my guild did was AQ 40. We went in with 15 (ranging in levels from 71-80). The first few bosses were so easy I didn't realize that we'd hit them. (That was a boss? What?) Then things became a little harder. The last two were actually a challenge, and I'm not certain you could three man it. Certain of them actually require having more than three. (how do you click all the cubes on Magtheridon?)|||this past weekend our paladins decided to go solo a lot of places. retri and holy both managed to solo onyxia with ease, zg was a bit of a challenge for the retri but teamed with a enhance shammy zg was done in about 30 mins.|||Prot paladins can also solo some old world raids. I've done Onyxia duoed with a guildie mage because I didnt have the patience to slowly whittle her life down on my own, but considering that I was tanking and healing us both it should be even easier, just slower, alone.

Also I've read of prots soloing parts of ZG and Kara for mounts and mongoose and MC for bindings.|||I can solo Ony and ZG haven't tried any others though.|||Could a BM hunter and a resto druid duo well?

My wifey's taking a bit time off game while she gets a second degree in school and I've gone boomkin/resto for now while leveling up in Northrend. Eventually I'd like her to have Rhok'delar as a sort of honoring of her being a great hunter.

For that we'll need to farm Majordomo's chest. Now, as a druid I can clear curses and probably heal through the magic dots. Improved Mend Pet should also help in that department. And now that the requirement for the Aqual Quintessences has been dropped I think we could take him on.

She'd probably need to get a more AoE pet to tank the various swarms of mobs (imps and those fire elementals that split up) and the adds for the various bosses.

My only troubles right now is if we'll have the capability to handle the priest-guards... Will they cross-heal like mad? We can't stun them (forever) and certainly not all of them at once. If MD teleports the pet to the pit are we boned?

Any tips?|||The priests cross-heal a lot, but have pretty low HP. Around 100k or so it seems. They are susceptible to a surprising amount of CC effects however, so there's a lot of room to experiment. They don't hit hard at all, but I'm not sure how many at the time you'd be able to tank without the pet.

Sulfurons adds are far worse and have to be kited away meaning on of you have to solo them on at the time while the other tanks the rest. Sulfuron himself can probably be tanked by a mechanical yeti (someone did it with a VW in vanilla iirc).|||Hmm, with the short respawn times of MC (oh how I loathe wiping in old dungeons so much more than I loathe wiping in TBC or WotLK ones) experimenting might be a serious funstopper...

I can tank the Sulfuron adds through hot-tanking them. The wife can then take down Sulfuron and then pick one off, kill it, repeat.

However, I don't see how we can stop 3 priests cross-healing the targetted one unless we

1. Burn him down so fast he never has a chance

and

2. I Cyclone whoever tries to heal

or

I Cyclone the dps target whenever someone tries to heal him (ruining my wife's dps cycle and our general momentum)

Perhaps I can recruit one more to help... which class would be the ultimate mass-CC-er ? A rogue?|||MC can be 2 manned, I think it was 3 manned at 70. BWL cannot be 3 manned, maybe 5manned. You could get through razorgore probally but when you get to Vale you would probally wipe due to burning adrenline. I think would could clear everyother boss with the except of cromag(depending on what abilities he has) and Nef's phase 1 might be quite a pain. Ony 2 manned easy. Zg probally could be to 2 manned as well. When you get to outland I think you would have some trouble with some because of those pesky enrage timers.|||Quote:

Blast Nova won't kill you anymore, but enrage timer will.
