Hunter solo Icecrown Citadel (ICC), Gunship Battle, Valithria?

Hunter solo Icecrown Citadel (ICC), Gunship Battle, Valithria?

Here is my guide regarding the Hunter class, solo Icecrown Citadel (ICC), at level 90.

Level 90 hunters can solo pretty much everything from Icecrown Citadel (10 man), except Valithria Dreamwalker and Arthas.

The lich king can be soloed but it requires an insane amount of dps.

Best spec to use: beastmaster.


Gear: full epic PVP (some items 2/2 upgraded), one good PVE trinket.

Pet: spirit beast.
A corehound is required in some fights.
You can cast heroism and then summon back your spirit beast.

Talents: “Dire beast”, “Exhilaration”, “A murder of crows” and “Barrage”.

Hunter solo Icecrown Citadel (ICC) boss list:

Lord Marrowgar.
Full burst from start with “Stampede”, “Bestial Wrath”, “A murder of crows”, “Dire beast” etc.
You can start all the fights from this raid by using this rotation.


Stay near the boss and near your pet.
When Lord Marrowgar will put your character on spike, select the spike and destroy it with your pet.
Use /petpassive and /petattack macros to control your pet.
If you need more help, ask in the comments.

Lady Deathwhisper.
Nuke the adds and nuke the boss.
When his mana is gone, the boss will start taking damage.

Gunship Battle.
Get inside a turret and spam “1” at start, and “2” when the energy bar is almost full.
Position the turret’s target on the enemy ship and nuke it.
To win the fight, you need to destroy the other ship, not to kill the main boss that is standing on the enemy ship.


When you see the enemy units throwing axes and spears, kill them and then return to the turret and continue the nuking of the enemy ship.
If your turrets are getting frozen, jump on the enemy ship and kill the “mage mobs”.

From time to time, there will be enemies summoned on your ship, kill them and then continue to nuke the enemy ship.
There are some videos on YouTube.
I saw a video with a warlock that was soloing.
Is pretty much the same thing for hunters.

Deathbringer Saurfang.
Easy fight, nuke the adds when are up.


Festergut, Rotface, Professor Putricide.
“Tank and spank” fights.
To unlock the “Professor Putricide” door, you need to kill the other two bosses first and click on a lever wheels that can be found at the entrance of their rooms.

Blood Prince Council.
There are three bosses and they all share the same HP pool. You need to find the boss that “has hp” and nuke it. The other two will have 1 hp, ignore those. You need to be very fast as this fight will hurt.

Blood-Queen Lana’thel.
A very hard fight and I’m not sure if I was lucky or the fight is doable.
Your character will get mind-controlled at some point and only your pet will remain in the fight.
In my case, the pet managed to finish the boss that had around 5-6% hp left.
After the boss dies, your character will die as well but you can run back and loot the boss.

Valithria Dreamwalker.
A hunter cannot solo this boss.
This fight requires to heal the green dragon to maximum and hunters can’t heal anything besides themselves and their pets.
Bandages won’t do much and there are no other items in the game that can heal other targets.
I heard that draenei race players can heal by using their racial.


If you want to keep going, ask a healer.
With a level 90 healer, the fight is very easy and takes around 4-5 minutes.

Sindragosa.
It is an easy fight.
You only need to put your pet to destroy the ice blocks that will trap your character.

Arthas (the lich king).
I couldn’t solo him but the fight is doable.
It only requires more damage.


There are many adds and the map will get crowded if your dps is not over the top.
My pet managed to set me free from the flying angel and this is the only mechanic that might seem impossible to pass unless you play a class that has no pets.
I’ve managed to kill him with a boomkin friend, so, it is doable in two players.

I think that with the next tier of PVE or PVP gear, the fight will be doable.

Gear to get?
Not much. No rare mounts or pets. I soloed the raid just for fun.
