I logged out in crypt last night, and when I got on this morning the place was empty and Yosig was up.
I wasn't sure what level the dar knight pather was, so I decided to use the skeletal hierophant as a pet to clear out the ICG more easily and then smoke Yosig. I was pretty devil-may-care, since Yosig is just a warrior and 51s seem to hold charm quite nicely anyways. And the fight played out as I had hoped. It's amazing how much stronger a level 51 pet is than a 48 or 49. They just seem to hit so much more often when fighting a 54-55, even though they don't hit much harder.

Pooptastic loot. Hiero spawned the next cycle, but he popped a bit sooner than I expected he was going to (I always get confused on where is 21ish minutes and where is 26ish minutes) and got himself buffed up before I pulled him. Then the pull wasn't pretty cause my pet was still rooted outside from killing an ICG... but fortunately I had poison cure pots this time. And then he slowed my pet at ~50%, and fetter would just not wear off so that I could pull him back into a room instead of out in the open. I let my dar die and petted baron, but he broke charm as soon as I re-engaged so I just hatted. Hiero only had skyfire anyways. |
Tecmos; I enjoy your detailed stories as well as the progressive screenshots you provide to show us each of the stages of these fights however I am not sure if I am alone here, but I sorta hope 1 of 2 things happen:
1. You solo/attempt to solo a mob that is widely viewed by other ENCHANTERS as near impossible to solo. A lot of your tales there are probably a few, not many, well played enchanters can also pull off but just don't bother. In fact Id almost like to have this "challenge" renamed to the Solo Enchanter Artist Challenge as it is fairly obvious that only enchanters or possibly bard/sham and maybe necros can do most of the "challenges" you find on the list. I know most of the 'art' comes from how you approach breaking these camps as solo, but once you figure out a safe way to break a room, thats it, the hard part is over. I wanna hear about soloing something that is difficult, widely renown from most high tier ENCHANTERS as impossible to kill rather than how to break X camp charming a mob and rinse repeat same tactics. Hell even as 50 druid I figured out a way to safely break the froglok king room (without simply aggro'ing entire room and rooting it) and I thought that was impressive yet that challenge doesn't really measure up to what an enchanter can accomplish solo hence the skewness of having this thread.
2. Create an alt and let us experience some low lvl challenges from a different class. #2 kind of builds off #1 where we get it, you can charm monsters and break a lot of camps, but if you want to be a true 'solo' artist lets see how you do soloing with lets say a wizard or shadow knight. Who knows. Obviously not all classes can solo that great but I for one playing a wizard on live felt really accomplished soloing some camps that some other classes would wipe the floor with. It can be your choice, though the least solo able class u select and more the success you have with it will just prove you are the ultimate "Solo Artist" as there are many different creative ways the other classes have to dabble in the 'art' of soloing.
Good luck and keep up the good work
