Yesterday Daire and I were in west to get some key corpses made for south. After some good luck popping procurator back to back, we called it a night. But after the time we spent in there, I figured I knew the lay of the land well enough that I could come back this morning to kill the Pro! I lulled my way all the way back to the hallway by that ledge outside the Pro's room, mezzed and petted the first skele to walk down towards me, and instantly managed to aggro the entire boss room as a pather aggrod my pet. A couple of stuns, a couple of AE mezzes, and a bunch of fetters later, the situation was relatively stable. I finished all that stuff up by just suiciding whatever I charmed. Unfortunately I had forgotten to pick up the key to Pro's room, so after recovering from that fight I had to lull and IVU back out, I got into a fight just outside the key room, finally got the key, and then lulled/IVUd back to the hallway by Pro. Spawn timers were ALL messed up because of how I cleared things before though, plus the fact that I didn't actually know how many mobs spawned in the room and how many were pathers (or where the pathers pathed). Next cycle I petted up a level 46 ghosty fella and decided I'd keep him and use him to clear out anything that aggrod into the Pro's room. After two rather stressful hours (couldn't look away from the computer cause spawns were so wacky, so I was just keeping a fully buffed/weaponized pet charmed nonstop except for blur healing), Procurator popped: http://postimage.org/image/j8efgccqj/ Unfortunately I had a bile spawn as soon as I had him debuffed and put pet on him: http://postimage.org/image/5u6v6lktn/ Also unfortunately (seeing a theme here?), Pro resisted a stun and disease clouded my pet early in the fight. At this point I decided to go all in, and loaded up 4 stuns hoping I could just stunlock Pro and hope my pet didn't break. Things were looking promising in this screenshot: http://postimage.org/image/72uqs8crv/ About two seconds after that SS though, charm broke JUST as a new skeleton burst into the room. I got summoned, ate a HT, ate a round from Pro, and my pet went crazy on me. I was dead before I even thought to try to hat out. So I asked Daire if he was free to chaperone me on my CR. He's a very gracious fellow, and was more than happy to come help out to get a break from going insane trying to get a braided cinch cord for his baby enchanter. The CR was... messy. We got past the drop in, and my brain farted and forgot that I can use air elemental to levitate, so I said "we gotta go the long way around." We promptly aggrod a feaster and a bile as they rounded the corner, lost IVU, aggrod like 4 skeletons from the drop-down room. Daire ate all the HTs I think, and I managed to get things under control enough for us to log out IVU and hope the biles were gone when we came back. THEN I remembered I could illusion to levitate. When I got back in, Daire had gated from some trouble, but I managed to deal with a goo aggro and still lull the room (I thought he was still logged out at the time). I got up onto the ledge with air elemental, camped aggro, came back in, promptly aggrod a pather + the whole boss room and died again. Daire hammered back over, we worked our way in again, I lulled the one living mob in the drop-down room and IVUd across to ledge to grab my corpses, only to be beset upon by a damn bile through the door. At least before I died this time I managed to dragged my 3 bodies to where Daire, safely medding by a patch we had cleared out, was able to grab them and rez up. CR now over, I medded up while staring towards my quarry, beginning to understand just a little bit how Loraen was feeling about Dartain a few days ago: http://postimage.org/image/l4yr7m5kb/ I again made my way across to the ledge... a bit more vigilant watching for feasters and biles this time. I quickly, and successfully, dealt with the pathing mobs (4 of them I saw), lulled my old pet and pro and a feaster in the room, then went in and petted, buffed, medded a tad, relulled feaster, mezzed, debuffed pro, loaded up stuns, and sent pet in to do his job: http://postimage.org/image/dp81dlvpj/ My hands were getting a bit shaky by this point. I definitely wanted this guy dead, but I was also dreading the thought of another failure followed by CR ugliness! Early fight: http://postimage.org/image/48w0c7g07/ Mid fight: http://postimage.org/image/992vfczfx/ Late fight: http://postimage.org/image/f19buyngh/ Loot: http://postimage.org/image/nh32u7qnf/ Thank God this one went better, lol. Daire later commented that I had good luck, but I attribute this kill more to the more-careful timing of kills of the Pro's pathing guards than to charm lasting the whole fight. I kept him from sticking any dots on my pet, and that feaster was easily dealt with via lulls and later fetter, so I'm quite confident that 1 or 2 charm breaks would have been handled without trouble. Again, my experience with chanter soloing in this challenge is that taking things a bit slower and thinking a little ahead works infinitely better than trying to do something like squeeze in a kill quick before mobs respawn! Boy, it was satisfying to kill him. Definitely pleased with myself (and my super awesome cleric buddy Daire!) for getting this kill today [You must be logged in to view images.
