Infernal Quest: Kroshius can actually be soloed. Enslave one of the Infernal Bodyguards that wander around Shatter Scar Vale. They are completely immune to his attacks. The downside to that is that absolutely any damage you do whatsoever will draw aggro on to you, so you have to sit it there and watch the Infernals beating on each other till Kroshius is almost dead.
I died on my first attempt because Kroshius aggroed right after reactivation, and the IB couldn't pull him off. Second attempt went better (he was still active - just enslaved another bodyguard and tried again).
The Doomguard quest has to have one of the worst ratios between "work involved to complete it" and "reward" in the entire game. It seems every time I went near the Tainted Scar I racked up 3 or 4 deaths. Took me about 4 attempts to trap the Doomguard, and that was *with* the assistance of a friendly hunter with Freeze Trap.
Since I got the Ritual of Doom spell a month or two back I have used it precisely once - and only because I told the guild raid I was on I wanted to use it, not because we had to. (Used the DG to take out the Baron). He's an absolute pain to summon by either method, and unreliable for more than a fight or two. I summoned him outside the baron's tower - first enslave broke walking through the door. Second broke 30 seconds after the Baron was dead.
