The sentiment of "if a ranger can kill it, it shouldn't be on the list" is rather disappointing and discouraging to me. Otherwise it's just gonna be primarily enchanters and shamans participating with the occasional monk or necro. I'd much rather see a list of the hardest stuff that can be killed by an SK, or a wizard, etc.
I watched a friend of mine almost-solo Strong Horn once. It took him maybe an hour, running around to find mobs to charm into it. By the end he also had two ice burrowers chasing him. I say almost because I came and epic-snared it at the end so he could run off the burrowers. Soloing something like that is an achievement worth celebrating IMO.
And Tantor - the wiki page includes a couple notes by people who duoed/soloed it. Seems to me that's a good indication it deserves to be included. If someone's proud enough of their achivement to update the wiki, and few enough people are able to do it such that there's just a couple of entries, seems to me like it should be included on the challenge list.
Looks like the list in this thread is only Velious mobs, but a couple other mobs I'm proud of soloing are Estrella, Tainted/Corrupted seahorses, the Ghoul Lord, the Froglok King, and Priest of Discord. I think it would be much more interesting and engaging to have a list of mobs that most players/classes could attempt.
Another name is Faydedar - I once watched a monk solo that. He burned a ton of wort pots, but still cool to see. If slightly disheartening because he beat our raid force to the FTE and 30 of us had to just sit and watch one dude kill it.
