How feasible is it to solo Skargus on a necro?

[commongood]

As the title states… I’m wondering if I would be able to solo him. Just wondering if, say it quaked and I was alone in the zone and Angry spawned before anyone else was there…

Reading about his stats he seems maybe comparable to a (non-22) A4 mob. Does that seem reasonable? Getting the room cleared quickly while AG saunters in there before Skargus spawns seems like a must.

My gear is mid+

I’m only guessing based on what I understand of the class (mine is level 55) but that seems a fairly tough kill.

I would pack a shaman DS potion, Midnight Mallet, and at least a wort pot if not a few. A MM would make things less dodgy, a few mins of 35% slow will at least give you more time to think.

Not a necro expert but the part where you have to deal with him quadding for 600+ while he's unfearable seem to be the bottleneck, especially after a 560HT. That's a lot of damage to tank unslowed for 14k hp. Doesn't say he's unrootable but he summons, not sure how popping a new pet would be viable if you're not facetanking him. Even chain tapping, assuming no interruption, You'd probably run oom before mid fight.

Nothing in zone you could puppet string either and with that kind of DPS I'm not sure a hand of the reaper could tilt the scale. Like snaggles said, you'd need regen and a way to slow to give you some breathing room.

I hear blind effects prevent mobs from summoning under root like fear effects, but I haven’t tried it. Would need a bio orb to lock him down like that on a necro.

Isn't the server rule "Players who roll must assist in the Skargus fight"?

Would be a worthy target for Grandmaster tier Kunark solo challenge otherwise.

The OP was theorizing if nobody else rolls in 10 seconds it might go to a solo kill.

Very unlikely but possible, angry spawn is pretty delayed on quakes to the point where you could be logged in when quake message goes out, sit through a 30 second camp timer, swap toons, and log in at the angry camp before he spawns and get a roll in.

I did have only 1 opportunity for a solo angry goblin, it was due to a server reset where I was the first one to load in and Angry was already up (extremely rare circumstances, requires the type of server reset that fully quakes all the mobs). I waited until a 60 torp shaman loaded in, he rolled and so did I since he kicked off the timer. Piece of crap /q'd on me after losing the roll and I was stuck there solo.

IF you were able to get a solo attempt on Angry it would really come down to the skill/gear/preparedness. Necro's have done solo challenges killing Phinny and Skargus isn't too much different. I would expect the same actions that allow a Necro to kill phinny would apply to the Skargus fight. Not an expert at the class so don't know the specifics that well.

I did watch 3 non-60 pet classes try him as a trio. They did well until about 50% then they started getting summoned and having issues keeping pets up. They wiped just below half and the kill/loot was sniped after.

It would definitely be a stretch, I've watched several necros die trying to solo Verix Kylox Remains and he is undead, hits half as hard, and has less HP. So its not something your average person on P99 could do. Would be a big accomplishment.

lol, I read these conversations and realize I know nothing about the end game stuff. Always an education here.

[kjs86z2]

if anyone could do it, its UCF

get him in there

If VKR lands a slow on your pet it is basically all downhill from there. Ask me how I know. Fair point but different twist.

But yeah, wouldn't say skargus is impossible but if you try him be very prepared and go balls out, it may be the solo kill of your career.
