How to Solo Geddon and Garr in Molten Core

Geddon and Garr are probably the most sought after solo bosses in Molten Core because they drop the bindings needed to get Thunderfury. The drop chance, however, is insanely low. I believe my guild cleared Molten Core for about a year – every week – and only collected one complete set.

However, hitting them once a week as a solo hunter takes less than an hour and pays out over 100 gold, so it’s not entirely a waste of time.

How to Hunter Solo Geddon & Garr: Basics

Use the WHU recommended Exteme Solo Max Health Build.

Use a Turtle Pet, with our Extreme Solo Pet Build.

You will need two piece of the Tier 5 get for the set bonus that allows you to heal your pet for 15% of the damage you do. This gear is available from Tempest Keep / Serpentshrine Cavern. You’ll need a group of about 10 to blow through them.

You can get to both Garr and Geddon without having to fight any other bosses. You will be able to just walk past the majority of the trash.

How to Hunter Solo Garr

Garr is a challenging boss to solo, because with all of his adds your pet will be taking a great deal of damage at the beginning of the fight – very probably more than you can heal.

There are two abilities you’ll need to be aware of: the adds blow up when they die, so you don’t want to be standing too close. The explosion can also knock your pet back a long ways, so you want to be sure you clear all of the trash around Garr. Secondly, Garr has an ability that removes buffs, including your pet heal — so you want to have an addon like Power Auras that warns you when mend pet is not up and be ready to reapply it often.

The general strategy is to charge and single-target burn down the adds as fast as possible. Make sure to use multi-shot in your rotation. Use shell shield as needed when your pet is taking too much damage – I even used volley a couple of times for the extra healing from the t5 set.

Once you have several of the adds down, the fight becomes easy. Take all of the adds down, then take Garr himself. Once only Garr is standing, I didn’t even need to use mend pet.

How to Solo Baron Geddon

Geddon is an incredibly easy fight to solo. You’ll want to start by clearing the lava packs in the room where Geddon paths so that you have plenty of space to work with.

When Geddon is not around, walk to the center of the room and put your pet on stay, then move back toward the entrance. Your pet is now in Geddon’s path and you can have it attack without taking too long to catch up.

Geddon has two dangerous abilities. First, he randomly targets someone and turns them into a bomb. After 6 seconds or so you blow up and get launched up into the air, taking falling damage when you land. Geddon’s second ability is he puts a debuff on you that slowly burns your mana, doing damage to you as it does so. This debuff lasts five minutes.

Fortuantely, you can outrange both of these abilities with the Hawk Eye talent. All you have to do is make certain you are at the absolute max range throughout the fight. Now your pet will end up moving periodically, so you have to be very aware of every time your pet moves and back up if Geddon is any closer to you.

Note: if you do end up getting the mana burning debuff (which I have) I recommend switching to aspect of the beast, and burning through your mana as quickly as possible with abilities. Then stand at max range and just autoshot.

Note I did not need to use Mend Pet at all on Baron Geddon. His damage, even with his various abilities, was so small that my pet was just fine without the mend pet.
