Funny story… While making this comic, as I do with most, I logged into WoWland to get some ideas for the scenery and whatnot. Flew all around Storm Peaks taking screenshots of various locations. Well, this all happened last tuesday, during the big 24hr maintenance on my (as well as many others’) server. So there I was, checking out the Timelost Protodrake’s flightpath, when I see it! Right there on the edge of my max distance! Sadly… by the time I figured it out and mounted up I was too late… Timelost had disappeared into the sunset… How very sad… >(
This comic is dedicated to all those out there who try to do things by the book, follow the encounter strategies, only to have some loladin* run up and laugh at your group as he solo’s the evil boss. Heck, I remember a time when the quest “Threat From Above” required 3 people at least… now you got pallies and druids and most of everyone else just downing that guy without ever losing more than a quarter of their hp! Humbug I say!
*My main is a pally so uh… so in case you’re reading this, don’t actually nerf pallies, Blizz! was just joking…. DONT DO IT!!! XO

I agree with the last statement!
lol… just had to make sure… they have a tendency to nerf us “to the ground baby”! I can only imagine what evil plans they have for us come Cata…
can solo treat from above on my rogue
pretty easy but yes nerf pallies !
nerf… rogues? XD jk
Actually, I was kinda wondering when I typed this up which of the classes were able to solo this. I guess probably most now that we have uber leet gear and what not.
You know, I managed to mage-solo TFA…Managed to kill the wyrm and died, but when I rezzed adds were still there =)
It’s Sindy!!! /hug!
I’ve never been able to do it with my ele shams… couldn’t dream about trying it with a mage, unless you could kite them all with frost… I bet a DK could do it with no prob, or even a druid. Cant see a warrior having a good time with it though. >\
It’s possible to mage-solo TFA without dying, I did it on my arcane spec by having mana shield up and blowing all my cool downs with mirror image, icy veins, arcane power, and what ever trinket i have on. Once Chillmaw was taken care of I frost nova and blinked out of the spot since there’s going to be time bombs from the adds about to go off and Blizzard them down.
You’re probably going to need some pretty powerful gear before trying since you have to take down Chillmaw rather fast before the adds overwhelm you.
man… if my mage had better gear I’d give that a try!
I solo TFA on my warrior all the time, it’s pretty easy. Just gotta keep moving to avoid the bombs and pop your cooldowns when needed. I’m not exorbitantly geared either, just in T9 and equivalent and a piece or 3 from ICC 10.
Pretty impressive! I’d think warriors would have the hardest time. I wonder though, did you do it as prot or dps? Cause if dps… then awesome job!
With the proper gear, I bet a Fury Warrior could do it, but I roll Prot.
I soloed more than the TLPD. Anything is possible if YOU PUT SLOW IN YOUR ARCANE SPEC! gawd….
Able to solo TFA easily as a Beast Mastery hunter, doesn’t work so well in other specs. Forgot to change before I started once and tried it as Marksman… got smooshed into the floor.
Hmm, that makes sense. BM wouldn’t have too bad of a time pet tanking it. Couldn’t imagine survival having a much better time than MM, but those guys are tricky so maybe…
I should totally level up my pally.
…nah. (Hops back on DK)
Your vector art is getting awesome, by the way! I really need to start drawing again - it’s been so long and I’m SO rusty.
Lol! you should! If they could only have orc pallies… Cant see why we don’t have undead pallies… I mean, they were humans before being turned, why did they suddenly forget? They have priests that cast holy, so it can’t be that… ~>(
And thank you so much! That really means a lot! Actually, I kinda wish now I did all this in vector… would make things a lot easier for printing… but alas, this is done in photoshop and I’m too stubborn to change, lol.
You should! Drawering is fun! So grease them old bones and fire up the sketch pad! >D
Hehe. Great times hunting that son of a gun.
great or spiteful?
I actually soloed “Threat From Above” the first day it was available on my Blood Tank DK. Nowadays I can solo it even if I forget to re-equip a weapon after doing a jousting quest.
DK fisticuffs! I have to see that!
