Can be soloed as a 31 Arcane Mage (full heirlooms). After failing more than half-a-dozen times and plenty of "Evade(s)", I finally found a doable kite path. You can kite him by standing on the railing of the overhanging bridge, causing him to loop back up the opposite ramp. Before he gets close enough for a conflag shot, hop down in the pit and strafe back towards the spawn point (while keeping in range for instant procs). Once he closes in down the ramp you'll prob get hit with a conflag. Once the disorient wears off, Frost Nova to root him in place and use Improved Blink to dash towards the ramp and back up towards the beginning bridge. If the timing doesn't go your way, just reset the mob, eat/drink, try again.

1) Keep up a slowing effect from Frost Bolt.
2) Use instant procs.
3) Use good timing of Frost Nova and Blink to keep distance and out of LoS for his conflag

By far the hardest of the gauntlet. Save yourself some trouble and grab another comrade.

Hope this helps :-)

The whole chain can be soloed at 25 as a Disc priest. This guy was the toughest to cast against but if you keep up shield and renew/flash heal when you need to he goes down fine. The last one may or may not get ya. I only had 400 health left and had to Torrent to get enough mana for one last killing shot.

I only have the Cape and main hand hammer BoA. Everything else is pretty normal for a couple dungeon runs or some crafting.
