I started out doing BRD solo at level 70 for fun and to measure how my character power improved when i had obtained new gear.
It occured to me that there was a significant amount of money to be earned doing instances solo, but BRD spawns little Bind on equip gear and not much plans and designs that can be sold on the auction house, so i started out in the lower Blackrock spire..
My character is an epic specced combat Rogue wich uses battleground gear. I use deadly poison and cripling poison on my swords for the extra damage and to avoid mobs from running off. I can handle groups up to 5 or 6 mobs but when one runs off and gets another group then it would be too much and i have to use vamish. Usually i can solo the complete instance without having to do so.
On a complete run through the instance i gather around 20 gold in silverpieces from the trash mobs, sell for about 30 gold on blue soulbound and useless items to the vendor, and -more importantly- about 100 gold on sells on the auction house. My best run was about 500 Gold when some good plans or designs dropped. I'd say i get around 150 - 250 gold for each run and this takes about one hour.
The only mobs that i have difficulty with and have to use all my powers to kill are War Master Voone and Overlord Wyrmthalak (end boss) Voone hits VERY hard and if you cant down him quick enough your dead meat, to date i had to use vamish on him once when i forgot to wait on some colldowns...
Overlord Wyrmthalak is about the same, hits less hard then Voone but he spawns two trash mobs.
Sometimes i miss the company of others when soloing LBRS but as someone said in a post above its more difficult to do this with others then it is to do alone. They aggro wandering mobs and because the lower level will draw any mob to them -thus dying-
Such a shame UBRS cant be solo'd because of the three people needed to summon a firemob wich opens up a door on his death. Though i doubt my character is powerfull emough to solo the UBRS instance...
But doing LBRS solo is both fun as it is profitable...
