Even though I knew it might take a really long time, I persevered because, once I knew it was possible, I just had to do it. I've watched people like Rextroy (and Mionelol from years ago) for a long time, and I've always been interested in trying to solo bosses. After 3 months of brainstorming on how this boss might be soloable, the excitement of actually doing it kept me going despite how insane it sounded.
Also, my friends said it was impossible and the drive to prove them wrong pushed me to do the fight no matter how long it took. I first tried on Blood Death Knight, but the spec’s inability to heal while not in melee range made the fight practically impossible, so I decided to switch to Brewmaster Monk. I had around 90 attempts on Monk, multiple 1 hour attempts that ended in me messing up my self healing, and 1 attempt that lasted 2.5 hours before my game crashed…I decided to get chicken nuggets and come back the next day to try again. I attempted this a few times before the pre-patch, but the added talents for Monk helped immensely with things like
Dispersione della Magia, and the ability to have
Barile d'Esplosivo,
Birra di Polvere d'Ossa, and
Armi dell'Ordine all at the same time was a big plus.
