Solo Ossirian as a Ret Paladin
Ossirian, the final boss in AQ20.  My guild never got this guy down in Vanilla WoW.  Only in BC at 70 did we venture back in for a kill.  Sadly, I was not a part of this run.  So, my encounters here with Ossirian were my first.
I will tell you that soloing Ossirian is noticeably harder than soloing Hakkar in ZG.  Ossirian does get a nasty debuff that allows for perfect soloing, but if you miss activating the crystals, then you are likely headed for a wipe.

Solo Moam as a Ret Paladin
Moam is the third boss in AQ20 that I attempted to solo as a Ret Paladin, and I did so with ridiculously easy success.  Not much strategy here, but I will say that if the Ooze trash mobs on the way to Moam manage to start consuming you, you’re in trouble.  The first consume I ran into was easy to bubble out of.  The second one killed me.  I did manage to kill a couple as well, but my recommendation is to completely skip them if possible.

Solo General Rajaxx as a Ret Paladin
When I made Khor, my Retribution Paladin, one of the first things I did upon reaching level 80 was attempt to solo Onyxia, ZG, and AQ20.  I was able to solo Onyxia, and ZG wasn’t far behind.  AQ20 was more difficult, and after wiping on Kurinnaxx several times, I decided to skip him and try Rajaxx.  He also wiped me several times.
Now, after many gear upgrades, I was able to one shot him with my normal approach.  He does have a heavy knockback that deals around …

Solo Kurinnaxx as a Ret Paladin
Soloing AQ10 as a Retribution Paladin has long been on my to-do list.  I have tried several times with lesser gear, and come up short.  I also wasn’t really modifying my tactics, and put forth some very weak efforts.  Not this time, though.  Kurinnaxx is first on my solo list, and I will cover my strategy here.
The fight is a very simple one, but you do have to be mindful of a couple of Kurinnaxx’s abilities.  The simple strat is to kite him around in …

Deadmines can be soloed at level 26 by a Retribution Paladin.  Last night, server lag was at an all time high.  The original plan was to continue our ICC 10 run, but multiple avenues of lag diverted us from our main goal.  We ended up running the weekly raid quest for our 5 Emblems of Frost, and called it a night.
The night was still young however, so I decided to keep on playing…if I could.  Loading screens when logging into instances and onto other characters were taking 3 minutes or …

Leveling a Dwarf Paladin

Levels 1-10
Leveling a Dwarf Paladin has become much easier since the relase of Patch 3.3.  As one of 3 Alliance races that can become a Paladin, the Dwarf has unique passive talents that can help in the leveling process.  Dwarf Paladins cannot officially become a Ret Paladin until level 10, when access to the talent tree is opened.
My goal for this Paladin is to give a guide to beginning Dwarf Paladin leveling, which will transition into a Paladin PvP twink guide.
The Beginning
A Dwarf Paladin starts out in …

Moroes is the second boss in Karazhan, and is the sole possessor of the ever-elusive Mongoose Enchant Formula.  As a Ret Paladin, I have downed him twice.  As a Prot Paladin, I just recently down him for the first time.  Not because i couldn’t in the past, just because I hadn’t tried.  I will include both methods in this post:
Adds
Moroes always has help from 4 adds; random mobs from a pool of 6 total.  They should be killed first, in this order:

Lady Catriona Von’Indi – Holy Priest
Baroness Dorothea Millstipe – …

Ret Pally Solo Bloodlord Mandokir ZG – Raptor Mount!

Finally, I did it!  After countless ZG runs, I finally got my Swift Razzashi Raptor! One ZG mount down, one to go…
I have already written how to solo Bloodlord Mandokir as a Ret Pally, so check out the post if you have time.
Here is a recap of how to do this fight as a Retribution Paladin, and how I did it to get my Raptor mount.

Ret Pally – Making Wow Gold in Zul’Farrak (ZF)
I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure I’d be making a ton of gold per hour farming ZF.  I know there are two primary sources of gold in here, and they are: Mageweave Cloth and Enchanting materials.
My plan was to just run through all the mobs on my mount and pull them into one big pack and AoE them down…bu that wasn’t to be.  The casters were surprisingly efficient and yanking me off my Charger.  So my time through the instance was slowed …

Soloing Strathholme
Any level 60 dungeon from vanilla World of Warcraft should be frustratingly easy to any level 80. That is why they make perfect targets for making gold.
(See how I am repeating some of what I said from my Scholomance post? I’m cool like that.)
Number one, it’s an instance, which means there is no competition for loot or mobs. Two, you can repeat it over and over if you wish (for the most part). And three, it’s fast. Clearing an entire level 60 dungeon solo as a ret paladin …
