Mythic Butcher Solo

I can't pull it off in unholy. Does blood with purgatory work or a ret pally with divine intervention?
You cannot do it with Purgatory because I am fairly certain the ability is an instant kill mechanic, meaning Purgatory just wont proc since it deals with taking damage and the Butcher instant kill is not damage based.

If you are not already try a pull with Drums/Lust and a potion. You essentially have to do enough DPS before 5 stacks or you die (I think it was 5 stacks on mythic)
3 stacks is instant kill in Mythic / 5 stacks in Heroic - Normal

This. There is no special workaround - you either do the DPS or you don't. Should be trivial come BFA (and maybe even the pre-patch).

The 4th stack is the insta kill, you can take 3, not the 4th.
Thanks. Threw everything at him and died at about a third health. Looks like heroic is only option for me.
Find a friend (preferably with a different armor set) to run it with. I ran with my shammy friend and we bursted him down before he could kill me. Other than that, having a 2nd dps, that you dont have to fight over gear with, trivializes the fights.

This is sadly the truth. I am not currently in bfa content but i doubt even a 120er can burst him quick enough. Id like to know though if im wrong.

It's doable.

Downed him at 120 as both blood and a BM hunter

It was close as Blood, but he was absolutely nuked by my hunter.
You either need extremely good dps, or bring 1 more person.
It's been a while since I ran it in 325 gear, but I'm going to confidently guess it's trivial now for any DPS spec at that ilvl. Heck if your burst is good you may even take him out before the first stack.

I soloed him on heroic and mythic no problem he's dead before that even happens
I just soloed him on Mythic with a 118 Arcane mage. Gear level 247. I just popped my rune of power and Time Warp first thing and burned him down. I had 3 stacks on me but I got him first.
