[S] Arch Duke Iatol [55 Shadowknight, Sebilis Crypt]

After a couple rounds of killing phs in crypt, Duke spawned, wielding nothing.

Attempt 1: Charm break, used slant + AE mez, pet was dotted so broke mez, killed me before I could hat. Ran all the way from Seb zonein to Cabilis (almost dying along the way to see-invis frogloks in TT), grabbed my spare stalking probe, gated back, and lulled my way down to crypt. Died at crypt door; didn't think the two frogs would aggro the probe. Rebuffed, zoned back in, and lulled my way down once more and made it through the door just to have a crit lull resist on the first pack. Was able to AE mez, but was low HP so I decided to make a run for it after rooting the mobs. Got aggro from the dar roamer + one friend he decided to bring with him, channeled another AE mez + roots, invised into safe spot in crypt and logged off, with a Fetter break with 5 seconds left.

I logged back in, grabbed my corpse, buffed up and prepped for attempt #2

Attempt 2: Decided not to haste the pet (harbinger ph) so that I could handle charm breaks better. Stun resist on charm break ended with me eating a dot before I could regain control, then a second charm break forced me to hat out with 10% hp left. Fortunately there were two druids at the WC rings, so naturally I pleaded for a heal. The first druid, Shaston from Taken, started casting a heal, then ducked to interrupt it and sat down. Thanks buddy! Fortunately the other one, Shabuffya, wasn't a sociopath so she hit me with a heal when I was at 1% and I was able to survive. I recharged my hat, gated back to Seb, and lulled my way back down again.

Attempt 3:

Third time's the charm. Allure held throughout the fight, but I'm confident I could have handled a break just fine.

Solo master!
