I question where you have tried this Catherin. I have actually tried to solo phinny and unfortunately this is not how his dispell works. Before the fight I junk buffed, HP buffed and resist buffed. As a shammy this meant I was around 12-13 buffs (leaving room for torpor etc). Upon engaging I had 0 buffs within 20 seconds. I understand that most every other mob that dispells works differently, but I can tell you that phinny is unique in this respect.

I think his dispell is a proc that happens everytime he attacks. Now what I don't know is whether the proc is aoe or not, and I do not think it is. Meaning if you somehow were to maintain agro on phinny and keep alive, your pet would be ok. The only class I can see soloing phinny is like a fantastically geared monk or warrior with puppet strings. Everyone else is either going to get the crap kicked out of them tanking phinny or will have their charm dispelled if they don't tank him.

Now as I wrote in the solo thread, on live mages could chain cast pets on phinny so long as they were able to time /pet back off to make phinny use his summon on the old pet before the new pet was cast. So like right before you new pet was about to be cast you would /pet back off, phinny would summon the old pet, and then once you kill the old pet phinny would run to you but would be met by your new pet.
However on p99, mages generate agro just by existing and phinny will not attack the new pet right away and will instead go straight at the mage. This is a bug of course and has been due to be fixed for awhile. So mages should have a chance to solo phinny but because of agro not being live-like, they are unable to here.

He's exactly right, in all paragraphs. Except the monk and warrior would be blown away by DPS, even with Soulfire. I think only a chain-clicking 60 Cleric with Donals BP, enormous amounts of hps and magic/cold resist with Puppet Strings has a chance, and they would have to be mind-blowingly lucky to never miss a channel or get interrupted by push.

Torpor = dispelled. Dead Shamans.
Charm = dispelled. Dead Enchanters and Stringers.
