All in all, if I had to rank the fights at least in the eyes of a shaman.
1. Neh Ashiir: easiest fight perhaps, but it requires luck on interrupting her CH's. It also requires some strategy, as she is not slowable, so you have to dispell her at the beginning.
2. Fear + Golem. Breaking in is not easy but with a cap and with puppet strings and root nets you can just cap out and recharge stuff. As long as you don't get greedy, you can kill 1-2 mobs at a time before capping out. At this point you create a safe spot which, if you are patient, you can single or 2 pull mobs to. The golems aren't easy per se, they proc a blind and slowing them is difficult only because they are belly casters, but the charmed mobs are so good here that it was not an overly difficult fight.
3. Sebilite Protector: crazy that he is 3rd but its just how it worked. If anything he is predictable, he doesn't cast spells so his dps is constant. Finally he doesn't gate! The biggest thing here is that I got lucky on slow, it landed on the 2nd or 3rd try. Once slowed I can tank him chaining torpor + superior heal while pet kills him. If I were to do him again and slow didn't land before my first pet died I would just cap out and retry till i got lucky.
4-5. Tolapumj and emp are about even: Although this fight took the most attempts it was mostly because of getting unlucky with him gating. Tola is more difficult than prot though because he is hasted and casts mean spells, I would wager his melee dps is greater than prot because of his haste. Secondly his spells make his dps unpredictable. I also had a harder time slowing him than prot. Lastly and most importantly his gate cannot be interrupted by bash or by stuns, I guess it can be interrupted by push but I don't think my pet ever interrupted any of his spells the whole fight. Gate can be countered by a timely nuke and some luck that it isn't resisted.
4-5. Emp: Emp is an insane mob. Part of the problem is that he has 6 guards basically in the spot you have to fight him in. If you couldn't face pull the 4 guards in his room he would be impossible. The fight itself is very difficult because of his spells, he casts an unresistable 720dmg lifetap which is undoubtedly his best move. He also casts poison dot and pyrocur which are both very strong. Not to mention he has a spectre pet which must be kept rooted through the fight. He is hard to slow but you are so busy keeping healed and dispelling dots that you simply dont have time or mana to even try to slow him. Finally he runs, and if he makes it to the door before he dies you have adds that HT coming at you. If I didn't get lucky here by having no charm breaks I wouldn't have won this fight.
Other stuff:
Spore king: cant solo pull him as a shaman so it is not possible for me, but loraen proved enchanter can do it.
Korocust: impossible for anyone to solo this guy I guarantee it.
phinny: I think he is impossible, maybe a monk with uber resists? Casters wont be able to take him because of his dispell. I would say a mage should be able to do him chaining pets by doing /pet back off right before the new pet spawns to avoid his summon, but the issue is that on this server pets dont gain agro right away like they should and/or mages build up agro just by existing, which they didn't do on live.
sky: didn't attempt this. It would depend on a lot of factors but here is how I would do it: first you would need to know what azerack is the ph ahead of time. You would need keys to 3 ahead of time. I would malosini and root a spirit thing on isle one, I would invis and zone to 2. I would wait and hope the ph would path far away from the others within the 3 minutes root lasts. Get agro on him and pop an invis potion, zone to 3. Slow azerack once he is up there. Wait your pet to come up. Strings on pet, kill ph. Then let pet tank protector while you move in and out to malo+slow. Win.
rak`ashiir: I did attempt this solo and failed. I think it is possible but would be the hardest fight that is possible for a shaman. His aoe does a ton of damage and he is immune to slow. His aoe is a lure as well which makes it very hard if not impossible to resist. The pets in his room max out at lvl 45 so they aren't so good to kill him with.
Should have some SS's up tonight of the fear kill
