The Art of Soloing - What's Soloable By Enhancement, The Raid Edition

If you're any sort of forum goer, you may have noticed that there's one topic that comes up on a semi-regular basis: What content is currently soloable by my spec/class?


As of the end of Cataclysm, I have really gotten into the "let's see what I can solo as enhancement!" thing. I love pushing myself in a familiar environment while having to rely 100% on my own skill to down something. Plus, you know, mounts. I know that there are similar souls out there, similar souls that may have not yet taken the time to go out and solo those dragons but are still curious as to what bosses are doable by oneself in what gear.

The following list will be updated as I tackle more content, thus is currently incomplete. Keep in mind that unless otherwise noted, this list assumes that you're level 90 with at least some gear on you.

Classic
- Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj (20): Soloable
- Molten Core: Soloable
- Blackwing Lair: Soloable, though Razorgore is a pain
- Temple of Ahn'Qiraj (40): Soloable

Burning Crusade
- Karazhan: Soloable
- Magtheridon's Lair: Soloable
- Gruul's Lair: Soloable
- Serpentshrine Cavern: Soloable
- The Battle for Mount Hyjal: Soloable, though trash before Kaz'rogal is buggy
- Tempest Keep: Soloable (Kael'thas Guide)
- The Black Temple: Soloable
- Sunwell Plateau: Unknown

Wrath of the Lich King 10
- Vault of Archavon: 10 man Soloable
- The Obsidian Sanctum: 10 man 3D Soloable
- Eye of Eternity: 10 man Soloable
- Naxxramas: 10 man Soloable
- Ulduar: 10 Unknown The Siege, The Antechamber, The Keepers, The Decent Into Madness + Algalon
- Trial of the Crusader: 10 man normal Soloable, 10 man heroic Unknown
- Onyxia's Lair: 10 man Soloable (at 85, assuming you have Dragon Soul gear)
- Icecrown Citadel: 10 man normal Unknown (very 2 mannable though!), 10 man heroic Unknown
- Ruby Sanctum: 10 man normal Soloable/heroic Unknown

Wrath of the Lich King 25
- Vault of Archavon:  25 man Unknown
- The Obsidian Sanctum: 25 man 3D Soloable (heroic t14 or 522 geared)
- Eye of Eternity: 25 man Soloable (tier 14)
- Naxxramas: 25 man Partially Soloable (tier 14) - Arachnid and Plague Quarters, Sapphiron, and a few other bosses are soloable, though you'll want a friend along for Patchwerk, Instructor Razuvious, and possibly Kel'thuzad yet.
- Ulduar: 25 Unknown
- Trial of the Crusader: 25 man normal/heroic Unknown
- Onyxia's Lair: 25 man Soloable (level 90 heroic 5 man)
- Icecrown Citadel: 25 man normal/heroic Not Soloable at this time
- Ruby Sanctum: 25 man normal/heroic Unknown

Cataclysm
- Blackwing Descent: 10/25 normal/heroic Unknown
- Throne of the Four Winds: 10/25 normal/heroic Unknown
- Bastion of Twilight: 10/25 normal/heroic Unknown
- Firelands: 10/25 normal/heroic Unknown
- Dragon Soul: 10/25 normal/heroic Unknown

The links found on this list will direct you to the videos I've taken whilst soloing these instances, if you'd care to see how I bumbled through it. 

In the future I do plan on writing up making "How To" video guides on the raids that I solo (or just have a videos showing me pulling off the act), which will also be linked back to this list. Until that time comes though, I definitely encourage each and every one of you to go out and try to solo some of these raids. If not for the mounts/pets/transmog gear, then do it for the thrill of a challenge!
