Azgalor has been soloed by Szalor on EU – Throk’Feroth for a hunter world-first. The strategy used is explained in the video but is not complicated. Basically you’ll need to:
- Use a spirit beast.
- Have your pet positioned between you and the boss.
- Stay between 101-104 yards from the boss. This distance can be tested by staying just outside the range at which Hunter’s Mark can be applied. At this range your pet will not despawn yet you will be outside the 100 yard range of Doom.

That’s cool. Why is a spirit beast needed? For the extra heal?
Yes, I would presume so. Mend Pet has a 45 yard range, so Spirit Mend along with Bloodthirsty and Lick Your Wounds would be the only sources of heals for the pet.
this is lame. looked to me like over half of his offense was the bear while he sat back and watched
There is no way to mitigate or dispel Doom. If Doom is cast on you, you will certainly die. Therefore, the only way to solo the encounter currently is to remain just over 100 yards from the boss (outside the range of Doom) and have a pet do most of the dps.
This is an awesome strategy and it worked for me…up until a point. He cast Doom on my pet thus killing it. What do you do then? or did Blizzard change it to where he can cast Doom on pets, now? I revived my pet and wasn’t able to get into position in enough time to get far enough away form him.
