Pull the lever, Vol'kaal!

Comment by Eutherin

Burn all 3 totems down to almost nothing, stop dps if needed, kill all 3 at once.

Comment by Skoobah

Never underestimate human stupidity. I've been in a group where the dps refused to kill all 3 at the same time, even after telling them in chat, they just continue to kill one at a time for 5mins straight until me and the tank gave up and quit.

Comment by Judgedredd

Don't try to solo on difficulties higher than normal as melee the totems aren't killable unless you are able to get all 3 down within a second apart.

Managed to solo him on Mythic as 283 MM Necrolord Hunter w/ pet, though the pet wasn't very helpful. I'd recommend skipping this guy (and thus Yazma sadly) on Mythic until Dragonflight gives us better gear.

Comment by Romire

Gonna point out it might be wise to bring some friends for this fight.

Even at higher levels, you cant solo him unless you can manage to take down all 3 totems

Comment by Maravec

On Mythic there's no way to solo this fight without a pet. Tried it as a protadin and none of my ranged attacks could reach the totems in time to DPS them all to zero at the same time. A very frustrating lesson in futility.

Prot Warrior did this today without knowing the issue, Got the totems down to bit under half health used rend then ran to the next one, repeat but quaterish health instead of half, Heroic leap to the last kill then just needed to charge and shield slap the first one.

Good luck those who also walk into this one by accident.

Even as far as Dragonflight, mythic Vol'kaal is unable to be soloed.

Comment by Rekviem

This is probably still tricky on some classes, but it was pretty easy just now on a Destro warlock with low-end (under 400) gear. I brought one down low without triggering the heal, used Havoc on a 2nd, fired a Chaos Bolt at the 3rd, and then quickly switched back to the 1st and hit it with Conflagrate just as the Chaos Bolts arrived.

soloed this on my hunter, dismiss pet, then fired barbed shots at totems one after another, until finally was able to kill him

Comment by Jovian

What an absolutely trash boss mechanic, nothing difficult about it whatsoever, all it means is that you can't solo it as a warrior. Slow clap.

Comment by bigPapaBill

I soloed it on Mythic with a hunter and pet but don't ask me how I got the totems down within a second, pure luck ;-)

Comment by Rusty5p00n

Manage to do this today on my lvl70 Arcane mage, took me a while to find something that worked, but what I did was to burn down the 3 totems till they where low on health (took some juggling!) then stood inn the center of the triangle and Arcane missle'd each totem quickly, got it after a few tries, but window is tight.

Clearly something that should have been tweaked a long while ago.

As a Devestation Evoker its pretty simple to solo on Mythic if you spec into Leaping Flames. Stand in the middle, Tip the Scales and Fire Breath on Boss. Living Flame should then take out all the totems giving you the few seconds needed to nuke the boss. My iLvl was 445.

Comment by Saroshadow

Just soloed him on a Lv 70 outlaw rogue. If you have your poisons on, right-click to 'drop' them. Stand in the center of the platform and go clockwise hitting the totems with your Pistol Shot. It may take a few attempts, after I dropped my poisons I got him on my second try. Only use Between the Eyes and Sprint if you're in a pinch.

Just solo'd on a blood DK. Did blood boil a couple times on the 1st totem, then used Deaht's advance to get to the 2nd totem, rinse, wash and repeat for it and the 3rd one and he got to the 2nd phase.

Comment by foredahorde

As a hunter, can be solo'd by: standing in the center, scrolling all the way out, (so you can see the entire triangle), and barb shot at each of the totems. May take a few rounds but approach works well.
