Is it possible to enter a raid by yourself ?
For example I'd like to try and get the this
Swift Zulian Tiger
but would I have to group with someone first then convert to raid or is it possible somehow just to enter on your own ?
Thanks

Yeah I figured that's what I'd have to do to get in. Wasnt sure if there was a way to do it without grouping.
Thanks for the come back.

Sorry to hijack, but which classes would be the best for soloing ZG?
I might have to try this out on my DK Farmer / Tank.
For the tiger boss, Bear Druid or Prot War. The bosses silence, then heal each other or ressurect
CONSTANTLY
. My brother couldn't handle it on his Prot Pally, due to the silence stopping him from performing interrupts.
Prot Warrior glyphed for Cleave could also just spam that the whole fight and get them down almost simultaneously, which is a requirement. ^^

Silence can be a ^&*!@. The add only heals while he has mana. They only ress each other if you don't kill them at the same time (10 seconds or so?).
If he fails, he needs to adjust his tactic and not claim that prot palas are broken.
Prot palas and blood dks are probably the 2 best classes to solo stuff with.
He didn't fail or state Prot Palas are broken at all, it just took him 52 minutes. By "couldn't handle it", I meant he was more then frustrated. The reason both of those classes have an issue here is their interrupts can't be cast during the silence, and patiently OOMing the Shaman takes a while. I was trying to get him to bring them all down at the same time for the first 5 mins, then gave up on that. He apparently got them down. >_>
Edit: The heals they perform don't require mana.

I've solo'd the tiger boss several times on a prot pally. Something that I find helps is keeping one of the tiger adds alive and keep his health percentage lower than the three humanoids. The priest will only target whoever has the lowest % health, so as long as that's a tiger, you don't have to worry about him healing a boss.
It takes a long time, especially if you miss your interrupts due to silence, but it's quite possible.

The tiger portion is genius. Thanks for the idea, I may go get some Feral gear now. :D

The hard part is being careful not to kill it. My strategy for that was not killing any of them so if I accidentally kill one with a crit there's still another one.

From my personal experience on soloing these 2 bosses I can confirm Prot Paladin, BM Hunter, and Unholy DK all work well...however a Enhancement Shaman and Arms Warrior do not ;) Maybe im just not skilled enough with the warrior because ive heard stories about how a arms warrior was able to solo ZG and AQ20 but I dunno, the shaman just dies way too quickly.

I solo this each week on my Prot pally (not so much the tiger since i got the mount on my 50th or so time)... a tip is to keep consec/ret aura OFF, and dps down a tiger to 'low' health (lower % than the 3 bosses are on) this way, the tiger will recieve the heals. keep dps'ing the bosses down till they're all at around 5% health, then nuke down - if they silence you after one dies, bubble, and dispell and continue to nuke. (avengers shield/Hammer of Justice any heals not going to the tiger)

Blood Death Knight would probably be your best bet.
Especially considering how one solo'd Sarth 10m, I'd say ZG would be a walk in the park.

Kitty too, just aggro them Mangle > SR > pop all your cd's and swipe spam. I kill them all before I get to 50% hp, which is more than enough for the next boss spawn.
I guess any plate dps class can do the same with more ease as they won't be taking as much dmg.

I will agree paladins are probably all around best for 60 raids and 70 heroics and kara. I remember before Ony turned 80 I soloed her as Holy spec with some gimp gear lol, it took about 25mins but I did it ;p

You are put in a raid group when you do Wintergrasp. When it's over just hearth out rather than using right-click leave group/raid. There will usually be at least a few afks or people that just don't think to leave the raid group after the battle is over, then you can easily get into a raid like MC or ZG by yourself.

I always just do a /who barrens and pick the 1st person I see.
"Can I invite you to a group real quick?" followed by a group invite.
90% of the time they accept. I convert to raid and then zone in.
Then /p thanks just needed a party to zone into ______. I am in, feel free to drop group anytime.
