Well, Rak'Ashiir bit the dust vs me and Liia. Unfortunately the Maurice Method no longer works; Rak'Ashiir and Ghiosk are now both MR immune like Neh'Ashiir (as they should have been from the beginning). It was actually an interesting fight because charm broke (and after Rak had pushed the goo into the water; I was slacking there because I really wasn't expecting a charm break on a L45 pet with -30MR in gear) but Liia somehow managed to DA long enough for the pet to run back around the moat, eat a puppet strings charge, and proc a few stuns. Otherwise it was quite an easy fight and totally possible without using the strings or BP.

I think it *might* be possible to chain pet him (according to logs he did about 20k damage before he bit the dust, so 4-5 pets) but if he happens to aoe during the break an enchanter is going to bite the dust. Probably yet another one of those god mode fights where the elusive shaman-with-puppet-strings class excels. I don't think I'll be trying it again for a while; I thought Liia and Sakuragi could spawn Rak easily, but it turns out it takes a Warrior quite a while to beat down 22 black reavers, even with haste/ds pots most of the time.
Challenge Rules Change
In general I love the removal of invis pulls because it makes the game much more interesting. Many camps are a lot of fun now instead of mindless farms, with the spore king being the prime example (it amazes me that more people don't do it; even with a full group it's not bad cash and a lot of fun!). However, for the purposes of this challenge I think it's a bit unfair that guys like me and Svenn can get a whole bunch of kills with invis pulls that are now completely impossible. So, the new rule is:
You may obtain pull help for any Solo God/Duo GM kill and above. Both invis/assisted pulls should be marked by a * on the sheet.
