For this fight range, over melee, is a preferred choice. It's a giangto Voidwalker with armor.

Lyllistro- Scarlet Crusade lvl 70 Warlock.
Soloable with no pet, no bandages, no potions, no healthstone, and only Fel Armor for a buff. Did not use fear or bandage on the Captain. If you are a Warlock, feel lucky.

Use a combination of Siphon Life, and Drain Life with Death Coil constantly on cooldown. You will never run out of HP. Then lifetap when low on mana. Nightfall will procc at a ridiculous rate, which adds great damage. Use Shadow Ward every chance you get to keep his hits from being that painful and you can do this one by yourself.

An easy way to slay Dimensius requires a group of two at least, the group goes with the Ethereal Army to attack Dimensius, and when the army is fully killed by Dimensius someone from the group goes back to Captain Saeed, abandons the quest and accepts it again calling Saeed's army to attack Dimensius again, while the others hold combat. While it might seem difficult to hold combat without getting killed, you can actually do this without getting attacked at all, you just need to stand in between the small hallway to the big room in which Dimensius resides. Rinse and Repeat the process of summoning Saeed's army and you should finish after the second or third summoning.

This boss is easy solo-able by hunter. As my "raid team" died , i thought of feigning death to reset , but only to find out that i could shoot from max range near the entrance . Took more than 5mins to take him down from 30% solo . Free quest

Comment by 90006

The way i did it was simply not killing Spawns cuz he didn't get healed from them but channeled that rain spell which did only liek a 1000dmg once in a min. Soloed as a 70 aff wlock.

Soloed as a 70 destruction warlock in blues/kara epics all i did was send in the "Army" then sit back and spam shadow bolt...he died before all the npcs did

Definitely soloable by any ranged class. Just stand behind of the red line in the doorway, and attack when you can. You take no damage and the battle never ends.

Took me SO LONG with my awful mana pool. Like 10 minutes.

to solo him, ur range has to be 30+ or his spiral spell at the end will pwn u

Comment by 92167

Unable to solo as a protection paladin in my healing gear. We got him down to around 30% before the captain died. Went through 2 mana potions. Toward the end I actually bubbled and ran up and judged Wisdom with Seal of Wisdom active, just to try to get an extra few ounces of healing done.

With a second person, even another protadin, this would be very easily doable.

Comment by 92167

Also note that if you die while doing this, the respawn isn't even on the same $@%^ island.

So don't be a hero. If you can tell you're not going to make it, back off and run.

Comment by MattHock

I just tried it, and it seems to be behaving a bit different from the above descriptions. Specifically, even though I was standing back in the hallway at max healing range of the NPCs, I was still being hit, and I was being hit throughout the fight.

I still managed to heal myself and 1 NPC for the entire fight until he went down... unfortunately, I'd apparently not gotten the tap on the mob, because it didn't credit me with the kill >.<

-edit-

Second try was slightly more successful. Instead of healing the NPCs the entire time, I nuked him until most of them were dead, then started healing. Did enough damage to get the tap this time.

Note, all this "I solo him with..." are most likely done by not killing the voidwalker adds.

As soon as you kill them, the boss goes beserk and starts spamming shadow bolts and other stuff that hit for about 1000 dmg (with no resistance).
So just ignore the adds and go full damage on the boss. On occasion he will cast some AoE effect spell that hits quite hard when you're close.
The trick is to keep a good distance, max casting/shooting range would be perfect.
There are a couple of good spots to avoid being hit by the aoe.

I did him with my Balance druid last night, it took some time due to mana problems, but eventually it went down.

I could be wrong at this point, but from I've noticed, is that he only despawns when you leave the manaforge.
This means that technicly any class can solo him.
Warriors and rogues using thrown/shooting weapons, paladin using range spells, etc.

i tried to solo this as a rogue, and my throw hit him for 2-400 and crit for about 500, so if you think about soloing him with your least effective attack then DO KNOW it will take ages...

(grouped with a mage, threw a couple of times then went melee, and found out that this guys hits hard, and he didnt like me very much.. killed me within 10 seconds, but i got quest complete. (even if the rewards suck donkey butt for a rogue)

Comment by xaratherus

Soloed Dimensius twice yesterday; second time I ensured I had done a decent amount of damage, and had gotten first damage on the boss. It didn't count him as tapped for me either time. QQ for me I guess, just seems weak that a Holy Paladin successfully damaged and healed the entire event but can't get credit.

Comment by Oathmaker

Well me and a 69 mage in not-so-great gear duoed this due to my inability to solo it the first time I attempted, While he was just dpsing, I was running around killing the spawns and attacking when possible, either way, its extremely possible to be duoed without a healer or anything, although to avoid blowing cooldowns and potions, I do suggest you not kill the adds (Which makes it hard) and you just get a group of more than two :(

Killing the adds was kinda hard without getting vaulted and not being able to heal. Either way, previous strategies could be combined and what not. Enjoy your solo, duo, trio, 4-man or 5-man!

Pretty epic fight, either way :D

Easily soloed as a 70 Affliction Warlock.
As previously said, most ranged classes should be able to do this, but melee may have a much more difficult time doing so.

Just bring your "army" up and let them engage him. Don't worry about killing adds he spawns, or healing any NPC's. Just DPS Dimensius down.
With one person it will be a long battle so potions will be helpful.

I can confirm that standing in the hallway does work.
I don't believe it saved me from all damage, but I was not getting hit by shadow bolts he was shooting out towards the end of the fight.

While standing in the hallway I cast Unstable Affliction, Corruption, Curse of Doom, Siphon Life, and Immolate on him. Shadow bolted until a DoT needed to be refreshed. Used Imp as a mana battery, but the fight was long, so I Life Tapped and drained life to keep myself at a decent amount of health should I somehow have gotten hit hard by something.

I killed solo with 70 frost mage :D

Comment by khoros

easy kill, i (fury warior in PvP s1 and s2 epics) did this together with a priest friend of mine easy kill, the ethereal do half of the dmg alone

Comment by 157081

As a mage, I can confirm that it's possible to stand in the hallway and nuke him down. You might get hit a little at the beginning, around 1000 each time, but he stops doing that once you've got him down to around half health. I only got hit three times by that, and I was soloing him.

Once you get him to 1% health left, however, he starts tossing directly targeted shadow spells at you. I only got hit by one of them, for 2000 damage, but if I hadn't killed him quickly he would have cast another, and that would have been it for me. So make sure you've got either plenty of health or the means to finish him off quickly.

Comment by Nanon

I just tried this as a 70 Warrior using the hallway trick, and I couldn't dps him fast enough with my thrown weapon. After a certain amount of time he starts casting http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=37500 which in turn killed me. If you can ranged dps him fast enough using the hallway trick he is easily soloable.

Comment by 190054

I never completed this quest but I keep killing Dimensius because he drops about 3-5 shadow motes at a time so its worth if you are farming primal shadows

Comment by Mishugashu

Soloed as a Boomkin in T6 resto gear. Just dps him down from the doorway, the Captain got to like 15% by the time Dimensius died, and I was at 75% without healing myself the whole fight.

Comment by 261192

I soloed Dimensius as a 71 shadow raiding priest build with two purple rings and mostly crap spell power gear.

For shadow raiders, you can treat this as if you were fighting a boss with a full party minus a healer.

I buffed the captain and myself with Fortitude and Shadow Protection, although I could have done the whole group. (I forgot.)

From there I did kept going VT / VE / Mind Blast and dotted with SW:P and DevoP. Not sure if VE helped the NPC's with hit points or not.

Otherwise, I scooted in and Mind Flayed him in between. Probably hit him with 20 to 30 mind flays.

Once he hit around 15 to 20 k hp, I noticed he had shadow prot up, so I went to smite and holy fire to end him.

In the end, the captain and 3 or 4 protectorate vanguards were left.

He dropped 4 motes of shadow for me.

Good luck, yall.

Comment by voydd

Quite easy as 70lvl MM hunter. It took me about 3 minutes to kill him. Just remember to stand outside main room.

Comment by cranial

Soloed as a 74 Unholy DK in tanking gear and frost presence.
I just grabbed his aggro, and let the NPCs deal with the adds and most of the dps.
Not hard, just had to pop my Bone Shield and IBF often and healed with death strike.
All the NPCs died at around him being 20%, then i just burned him down.
I would assume it would be easier to solo for a Blood DK, due to all the self heals.

Good luck, :)

Comment by 234935

I'm not convinced he is solo-able. I just tried using the strategies above as a 69 Tankadin, I've killed him several times but I am not getting credit for it.

First fight:

- Buffed all of the ethereals
- Got the first hit on the mob by casting exorcism
- Spam healed Captain Saeed

The rest of the fights:

- Buffed all of the ethereals
- Completely layed into the mob using Consecration, Avenger's Shield, Hammer of the Righteous, Holy Wrath, Exorcism and when he was low enough on HP, I would hit him with Hammer of Wrath
- Alternated Seals of Light, Wisdom, and Vengeance.
- Alternated Judgements of Light and Wisdom.

Comment by 72048

Just did it as a level 76 prot warrior, i wanted the trinket and thought it would be easy. Died twice but was able to run back in time, while he was still fighting the npc's.
I suppose being prot doesn't really help in killing him fast and him just using shadow attacks isn't really helpfull.

Just posting this, that altho i did die twice. I still got the quest completed when he died.

Comment by 438171

Solo'd as a level 74 Frost Mage. Had my water elemental with me, and just kept spamming frostbolt, interspersed with the occasional instant cast fireball, Deep Freeze, and a pair of engineering rocket gloves. Saeed was still alive at the end, with 1500 health. Pretty easy if you just stay in the hallway.

Comment by 864592

Solo'd as a 70 hunter very easily. Just stood inside the hallway the whole time and he barely touched me. My pet died instantly, but then just kept firing serpent, steady and aimed shots. Ignore the recommend 5 players luls.

Comment by 989007

For those of you looking for the Skettis Boots for you transmog set... It says this guy drops them, which is wrong! You have to run a quest for him to even spawn and he doesn't drop a thing not even 1 copper coin, so don't waste your time.... =)

Comment by TheSephiroth

I killed him with melee, only three players that are level 70 is needed. It was pretty easy.

Comment by Mikihisa77

This NPC is very special.

It is the first and only appearence of a Void Lord in the reality plane.

Dimensius is described as "an echo of the least powerfull of my masters" by Xal'alath. Void Lord can only appears in the reality plane by consuming an enormous amount of matter (yes, Void Lord's interaction with reality plane is basically : eat everything) which can explain the name of this NPC "the all-devouring".

Dimensius the All-Devouring
