Steevnash: Hello Fellow Hunters, uploaded a few videos about soloing Sunwell Plateau for two very desirable bows:
Golden Bow of Quel’Thalas
Thori’dal, the Stars’ Fury
As soon as you zone in you can mount and skip all of the trash. The first boss, Kalecgos, is not solo’able, but he is skippable! Just mount past him as well. Three of the bosses are relatively easy. Two of them are a bit more difficult depending on your gear level. M’uru and the Eredar Twins might give you a bit of trouble but after a few attempts you’ll get the flow down and get some drops!
Don’t hesitate if you have any questions or suggestions for how the bosses can be killed more effectively. [Read original post]
Brutallis
He is the second boss in SWP, but the first boss that is solo’able. The first boss of the raid and all the trash leading up to Brutallus can be skipped by simply mounting up inside the instance and riding past them, using FD if you get into any trouble and remounting.
Any MM spec is probably fine for this encounter.
Felmyst
This is a video showing how to solo Felmyst, pretty straight forward fight, the only real danger is the Fog of Corruption that you have to keep an eye on. If it hits you you will be MC’d and probably kill your pet which will reset the fight.
Eredar Twins (Grand Warlock Alythess and Lady Sacrolash)
A How-To hunter video for solo’ing the Eredar Twins in Sunwell Plateau. The strat I use is burning down Lady Sacrolash while positioning myself to take as little amount of damage as possible throughout the encounter by avoiding a few key abilities from the Twins.
This boss drops an amazing looking bow in the Golden Bow of Quel’thalas, popular for transmog sets.
The Pet spec I would recommend for this fight would be: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/tool/pet-calculator#Pp01!!akahgagdZg!
It includes Intervene which you will need when you’re killing Grand Warlock after Lady has been killed.
M’uru
The fight is all about balancing out DPS time on the adds, which is only applying dps to the adds when they begin to overwhelm your pet and when you can hit multiple groups of adds with your Multishots.
The MM spec I would recommend for this encounter is: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/tool/talent-calculator#Yc01!Ygg!SbkdkWbQhd!j!ZYWf…
The Pet spec I would recommend is: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/tool/pet-calculator#Pp01!!akahaZhdag!
Misdirection and Mending Glyphs are required for this Fight.
Kil’jaeden
This is a video for solo’ing Kil’Jaeden for the Legendary Bow, Thori’dal, the Stars’ Fury. A pretty easy encounter, much simpler than M’uru or Eredar Twins.
Any MM spec will probably do fine here
The pet Spec I would recommend is: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/tool/pet-calculator#Pp01!!akahgagdZg!
There is one ability that Kil’Jaeden has that you will need an Intervene from your pet to cover.

on felmist, i stood in the green fog. It restored me to 100% HP but the encounter kept going on… So in short it was a free healing :P
I notice that his pet has a lot more then my, m y pet only has 124k and his has almost 160k. And when he heals his pet its like 20k when i use my its only 10k. Doesn’t anyone know why this would happen? i have the same pet as his and i believe the same spec. Just confusing me. Hope someone response to this.
Your pet HP scales with your HP so with avg 397 Item Level and with runescroll and food buff you should be close to what he has.
Amirikx – Yeah the fog can certainly bug at times and “release” you or do other weird things, but more often than not it just leads to a reset! So I personally would steer clear of it.
Nate – Without being able to check out your gear, the biggest things that can impact your pets health aside from your own personal health is if you’re using Buffs. Buffs will have a big impact on your pets stats just like they do yours. Buffs such as Drums of the Forgotten Kings, Runescroll of Fortitude II will go a long way to adding to the health of your pet. If your heals are only connecting for about 10k you’re probably missing the Mend Pet Glyph which buffs your Mend Pet by 60%. If you get a chance link your armory so we might get a closer look at the issue.
Hey, just wondering if you could take a screenshot of the talent trees you would suggest for the fights and post those pictures. I tried to open the links and the talent trees that I was taken to were blank. I dont know if that was a problem with the link or with my computer.
But screenshots would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I could add screenshots but it would only solve the problem for this particular article. It would be better to find out why the links aren’t working for you (they work fine for me). Some things to check: Is your browser allowing cookies from Battlenet? Do you have your browser set to enable javascript?
I call BS on the twins, there is allot more damage coming out of there then stated my iLVL is 396
If you’re having difficulty with the Twins there are more hunter solo videos here and here.
I understand there are 2 more videos out there but the damage is horrendous even after feign death to avoid conflag, my iLVL is 396, I am spec’d right into MM and pet is spec’d right, still lots of damage in there. Have you soloed recently since may? Thanks for the links.
I haven’t solo’d it in a while. If it’s a raid I don’t need a mount from I always take someone with me so they can get transmog gear… most of the time I just ask in trade if someone wants to get carried through it.
I will head back in there soon, this weekend, and solo it to make sure nothing has changed.
Most important part of this fight is survival, so make sure you’re as far from them as you can be so the shadow adds don’t beat on you forever, and make sure your pet maintains agro on both of them at all times. Usually I’ll put my pet on 1 and continually MD the other target I’m killing to the pet.
Hi TABANA,
Just wanted to thank you a lot for the guide and the videos. I just completed my first Sunwell almost solo (I duoed the first boss) and you helped immensely. I messed up a lot on Muru and his adds but with a spirit beast and being level 87 I finally went through.
Can’t wait until next week to do that again!
Just by curiosity, when you skip Kalec does he still show up after Felmyst and during KJ
encounters?
Hey nice guide, but I was just wondering, after you complete the instance and the bow doesn’t drop is there a way to skip all the bosses and go straight to Kil’jaeden?
Is it possible to get this updated to MoP? I haven’t played a hunter as a main since TBC, and with 5.1 we can enter any pre-MoP raid without a group, I would love to see an updated take on the classic raids.
Much love.
Hey all, I just managed to solo Kalecgos. The problem is that if you have your pet out, he will hit you with a portal, and once you come out from the shadow zone Kalecgos will despawn. The trick is to unsummon your pet so that he doesn’t send you to the shadow zone. Once he goes immune, you can call out your pet, and a few seconds later, he will port you down. At this point, the human Kalecgos might be low on health, since he’s been tanking Sathrovarr the whole time, so blow all your cooldowns and burn Sathrovarr, and collect your loot.
Cheers!
