Best solo melee

[magnetaress]

I don't play enough to have stuff like a DW bp...

so i would say troll in bronze is amazing

but yeah that is awesome Barlu, very impreessssed

i actually had one on my red pally before i quit last but gave it back to owner

I fear kite all my end levels in the hole... So yep, fear kiting is fine in dungeon... Named elemental? Fine, rock golems ? No problem... I wonder how well a monk solo the named clerics with their ch and 550 nukes... I agree that monk is probably better generally... But there's some case were a sk beat them

Good point and definitely some dungeons that you can fear kite. You are 100% right about Monk solo in the hole though. When I leveled my Monk in the Hole it was before the exp bump but also before the bind wound Nerf and the push Nerf. Those Cleric mobs actually used to be great because they would just start healing at 40% and epic/SoS reliably interrupted that so they were easier than most if you had good MR. There was a great spot on the balcony where I solo’d a bunch of levels that would be way less efficient now.

Root Net Nerf also hurts the ability to kill the named there. Some have massive HP and I would blow up to 6 charges at times to kill Gibartik. Wasn’t a big deal back then could just flop to portal out and recharge in Paineel.

I solo'd in the hole near the exit TP pads, the broken gate and up by GT from 58-60 on fungi, epic, tstaff monk w SS quest gear and I could easily kill all the named elementals. Bejeweled, Gibartik, Soulstone, muck covered elemental, and Stonegrinder are all doable.

For bejeweled elemental, harvester, Soulstone, and wizards, I'd throw on my resist set and could resist most of the spells. I had 8 totems of rolfron zek on me and if I saw Bejewled casting ice comet, rend, or soulstone/harvester's CHing, I could just stun them. Since I was near the tpad pad, when I was low on bandages or charges, I could run out to paineel in 15 seconds, recharge/buy, and flop back down in a matter of minutes.

The occasional blood flecked obsidian shard, fiery jewel, fire emerald ring, speckled granite pebble etc. was more than enough to cover operating costs and slowly make a little change.

I highly recommend these camps to monks. Just faction and bind in paineel first.
