big hurdles would be :

#1 The pull. Pulling king solo is tricky for a monk, and probably a waking nightmare for a necro with no rez button backup plan. You'll be pulling through multiple shrooms/frogs/healers/casters.

Location would also be a challenge, A necro+shaman is not going to be able to keep the zoneout on lockdown (even with charm and puppet strings, maybe if you had 2 pets full enchanter quality set (Jumpy robe+weapons of preference+-MR gear))
The more viable option would be probably to park in tube room and have the necro pull to there. All this being said I haven't seen solo pulls to tube room since before velious launch. Maybe this can still be done but you certainly wouldn't be "holding a camp" from a rules perspective, and would likely lose any named kings to snipes.

#2 The fight begins. King is probably the most magic resistant thing in seb next to trak jumpy and Emp. You'd be relying on getting things slowed with only a malo --45. You could attempt to go for the -60 malo after but unslowed king is a mean dirty bastard.
[Sun Nov 06 01:10:34 2016] Myconid spore king hits YOU for 280 points of damage.
You'd probably need Jman sticks on charm pet(s) to get some tash stacked in there.
Your tank is probably going to need to be the shaman. If the necro is charming and hasting an undead he's not going to survive a charm break with a hasted pet + king beating on him. The shaman would need torpor of course. Both players should probably bring a full soulfire, reaper, midnight mallets, DS pots (both flavors) and maybe a couple ivandyr hoops for good measure.


Lets assume you win the RNG lotto and land your first slow after your first malo after the successful solo pull through a dozen+ mobs over 4+ rooms away.

#3 The fight concludes. Now that you've managed to get king to low health, you have a new problem, -fleeing- and -healing-. With king as resistant as he is, getting him snared with necro or inny neck is a pretty high-risk plan. best plan would probably to have a shaman with the VP Ensnare proc spear to attempt to proc (-and- land) since it lasts 10min+. Meanwhile any passing healer is going to be spamming the crap out of him, and pray some mushroom doesn't just CH him through a wall.

Now that you've blown through multiple potions, half a soulfire apiece, emptied those mallets, used multiple hours and been harassed by everyone for "stalling" your king pull, congrats on your shiny new
