    Solo'd as a 62 shadow priest. Not difficult at all - Keep shield up, use a Rank 1 Psychic Scream every time it's up (clear out all the Alphas first). Keep your DoTs and Vampiric Embrace up (took over a minute, so I had to refresh it)

    btw, Shadow Word: Death absolutely rocks

    61 lock on Black Dragonflight. Sent in Felguard kept dots up, eventually pulled agro onto myself because the fight took forever. Used a couple fears, didnt even get below 50% health. Not a hard fight at all.

    He's found in the cave at 34,64...

    I cleared the cave entrance and the Alphas that were hanging around Blacktalon the Savage.  Then I hit him with all I could while sending my pet after him (with growl OFF).  He got to me and I used Feign Death, and backed away and pummeled him again till he chaced me.  Then I kited him while my pet attacked him.  I ended up finally killing him at 17,50.

    I hear he is easy for Warlocks and is probaly quite soloable with other Classes as well.  I found him to be quite easy, but I had some luck running past the worms near his cave.

    Hope this helps!

    I soloed him as 62 warlock.  It's a long fight, so start with immolate, corruption, and curse of doom.  After that, you will have no time for anything other than instant casts.  All your time is spent in health funnel because otherwise blacktalon will kill your pet (he hits hard and crits often).  Took me about eight tries.  Also, don't start the fight until you've let all the alphas in the cave respawn and taken them out again, because they will spawn during the fight.  Finally, don't use fear or death coil except to save your life when the pet loses aggro, because he'll run into an alpha and it'll be all over.

    This is a female, you know .. says it right in the quest text. 

    Anyway, I soloed her as a 61 Balance Druid.  I found it to be very easy. 

    After killing the flayers in and outside the cave to make sure there would be no adds, I went in and cast Faerie Fire on her to gain aggro.  I ran out of the cave and once I reached the mouth, used Force of Nature and let my Treants grab aggro (which is why I only used Faerie Fire).  As they did that, I ran off to that little hill west of the cave.  There's usually a flayer walking on it, but I had killed it earlier.  I climbed a bit and rooted Blacktalon below.

    From there, I just made sure to keep Moonfire, Insect Swarm, and Entangling Roots active - she has no ranged attacks so I only took damage if I let roots break.

    Once her health was low I just finished her off with a few Starfires.

    Hope this helps out a fellow Moonkin!

    Everyone else seems to be solonig it on this page so i thought id give it a go, easy to say the least.

    63 Feral Druid, i was too lazy to pull him out into the open for roots so i just cleaned out the cave before hand and took him on there. Put on a pounce, then unleashed my trinks for 334 attk boost, went crazy with shred and finished the combo point layout with a rake,(no i dont have mangle, next lvl cos iv got some resto talents) maimed, shapeshift to bear, and dragged out the looooong fight. Only had to heal up once but i kept my bash to give me a headstart :)

    I just soloed this as a 60 affliction lock in substandard gear.  I cheated a bit as I cleared the cave with my 70.  I say cheated because there was one pull behind him which may have been hard to get at level.

    No secrets here.  Hit a couple of your instacast dots, and then fear.  Stick your long ones on him and then rinse and repeat.  I drained my imp a couple of times and life tapped once.  I think in the whole 2 minute 50 second fight he touched me three times, and that's when the fear was resisted.  Never touched any potions, my healthstone or soulstone.

      Did the same thing as a shadow priest. Had some close calls, but make sure it stays on you, and you have a shield up in case it gets near. Only problem I had was mana, got low when i got to town and almost died because I couldnt shield.

    as i ran out of cave after killing her i met a ally party that just had time to kill one alpha and then she respawned.

      Soloed as 62 rogue (dwarf).

      Cleared the area of adds first then went in battle with it.

      Crippling Poisons, Gouge, Backstab, Kidney Shot, Bandage.
      Those were the key abilities to be spammed, battle took some 3 minutes.

      Very easy since it was stunnable / slowable, it did crit for 1k tho' :p

      Spec was 25/0/28 and I did use all the abilities twice, though it was not required. When I started the battle I got about it down to 70% hp left, was thinking that "man! I'm not gonna make it", but then I got a brilliant idea to start energy kite, to deal damage in melee range only when my energy bar was full, kidney shotting and twice backstabbing, taking distance again.
      Worked wonders.
