Skarlon fight was tough and happened a couple days ago. I cleared the way in. tranix was not up at the time. But Skarlon came with a fire giant wizzy and a fire giant warrior. I malosini'd/rooted the wizzy while my pet tanked skarlon and the warrior. Pet soon died, but not before skarlon was slowed. I malosini'd the warrior and charmed him with puppet strings =P. Skarlon went down shortly afterward. Dropped mith arms.

Today I did Tranix. Apparently he is cleared often, so his spawn was broken and I just sat nearby waiting (i had learned his pop time the following night). Got him solo and while it was a long fight he dropped very easy. Dropped crown.

Edit: Magi Rokyl down today as well. Easy fight, solo mob. Buffed resists to the hilt and wore resist gear. Did not seem to cast anything but magic nukes though, and I was expecting ice comet but it never happened.
Sorry Svenn, but I think I'm going to have to disallow Tranix/Rokyl under the 'help from other players' rules, even though you didn't get it explicitly. The reason the fire giants are hard is the adds which are both stun immune and belly casters making them very hard to CC. Tranix without his guards is just a L52 SK; I could probably chain pet him even. Similarly the reason Rokyll is so high on the GM list is the room of 4 fire giants you have to clear to get to him. Obviously they are both still difficult fights for peons but not for those attempting to breathe the lofty air of GM rank.

Granted the hardest part about getting the FGs is finding them up [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
