Hunter solo - Durendil vs Throne of Thunder Heroic (Remix)
In my list of "raids I'd like to truly solo again", throne was part of the top. And it was so fun !
I really hope they remix other expansions.
I did two runs and took the best videos. Done with 220k threads.
General rules : stack haste and versatility (max is 126%, 106% if using windreaver).
Always use Wildfire, Mark of Arrogance, and Hailstorm.
Jin'rok : simple. Only moment he hits hard is when you have tank stacks.
Horridon : simple.
Council of elders : frost king Malakk will stun you for 10 seconds. Use a defensive or Dark Pact and focus him first. Mar'li is the other dangerous one when empowered, if it happens make sure the spirit doesn't hit you.
Tortos : simple.
Megaera : simple.
Ji'kun : simple, ignore adds.

Dps objective is killing him before the second color spectrum : blue add can pop under the boss at that time, causing an instant wipe.
If you can afford the dps loss, use the Precipice of madness metagem.
For the first color spectrum, check where the blue add spawns. If it spawns on a red add, you'll need an immunity or shield (precipice). If not, go the the add nearest to the blue one and use the shield anyways - beams are a bit buggy on spawn, they might hit the blue add.
During the ice walls, there are serious targeting issues. Go under the boss and try to hit one of the 3 inner walls, or those next to them. Once you have killed one wall, find a position where you are in LoS of the second then third. Or just kill boss if you have enough dps.
Finally, do not dispel the debuff - it makes you avoid the life drain/stun.
Primordius : easy. You can ignore the add, it doesn't one-shot you.
01:49 : Dark Animus
Use explosive barrage here.
The first 30 seconds are simple : kill adds while running around to avoid them stacking. The execution isn't that easy though.
I used precipice of madness to buy time. But you can use other metagems for damage.
Also, immunities at the end will allow wildfire, barrage and hailstorm to finish off the adds.
In phase 2, if you are far away from the boss, you won't take unhealable damage. Just run.
03:46 Iron Con
I took the 2 tinkers that gave me shields (frost and fire), and Slay.
Use dark pact when you are stunned and shields are gone.
Phase 1 you want to survive 2 stuns, there usually isn't a third.
Phase 2 you should have only 1 stun before the storm phase. Sometimes there is a second, which can cause a wipe.
Phase 3 get your cooldowns back for phase 4.
Phase 4 kill dogs quickly before you're stunned a second time.
I did a second try facetanking the boss, it is possible (requires precipice of madness).
06:19 Lei Shen
He's actually easy. You want to use victory fire + searing light and AoE adds.
Too many adds will kill you though with melees.
So do not overcharge the bouncing bolt conduit and it will be fine.
Also, do not get bumped off the platform. In pahse 2 he has a fusion slash that bumps.
08:47 : Ra-den
Use the two shield tinkers (frost and fire).
Also use precipice of madness if you can't avoid the tank strike. I used sprint for kiting.
Also Ankh. Grounding could also work but you would need to time the tank strike with it.
In vita phase, he one-shots you.
In anima phase, he casts a DoT that deals 500% of your health and ignores damage reductions.
First kite the first orbs. have him hit the via one first, but at around 30 seconds - kite more and he will go into vita phase.
Then kite the next orbs. When the boss is near 100 energy, have him hit the anima or and run.
Kite as much as you can. Care, when he is going to spawn the next orbs, get him near the middle so the wrong orb doesn't spawn under him.
If he gets his tank strike off, use precipice of madness. And use your CDs (healing, max health, barriers...) when it breaks. I also had the Ankh. Getting lucky with a shield can also help on a tick.
You need to get him to 40% before the next strike.
