How feasible is it to solo Skargus on a necro?

[Snaggles]

The OP was theorizing if nobody else rolls in 10 seconds it might go to a solo kill.

Very unlikely but possible, angry spawn is pretty delayed on quakes to the point where you could be logged in when quake message goes out, sit through a 30 second camp timer, swap toons, and log in at the angry camp before he spawns and get a roll in.

I did have only 1 opportunity for a solo angry goblin, it was due to a server reset where I was the first one to load in and Angry was already up (extremely rare circumstances, requires the type of server reset that fully quakes all the mobs). I waited until a 60 torp shaman loaded in, he rolled and so did I since he kicked off the timer. Piece of crap /q'd on me after losing the roll and I was stuck there solo.

IF you were able to get a solo attempt on Angry it would really come down to the skill/gear/preparedness. Necro's have done solo challenges killing Phinny and Skargus isn't too much different. I would expect the same actions that allow a Necro to kill phinny would apply to the Skargus fight. Not an expert at the class so don't know the specifics that well.

I did watch 3 non-60 pet classes try him as a trio. They did well until about 50% then they started getting summoned and having issues keeping pets up. They wiped just below half and the kill/loot was sniped after.

It would definitely be a stretch, I've watched several necros die trying to solo Verix Kylox Remains and he is undead, hits half as hard, and has less HP. So its not something your average person on P99 could do. Would be a big accomplishment.

If VKR lands a slow on your pet it is basically all downhill from there. Ask me how I know. Fair point but different twist.

But yeah, wouldn't say skargus is impossible but if you try him be very prepared and go balls out, it may be the solo kill of your career.

Not a huge concern for necro as they can feign off their agro when the pet isn't keeping up. But yeah in general its worth fully dispelling your pet and rebuffing them if they get slowed in my experience.

Bah hes only got 10k HP. just stack a Torment of Shadows, Pyrocruor, Cessation and Vexxing on him to bring him down to 50% HP. Exile undead / Deflux spam for the rest. Pet is just there to tank the damage.

The point of that comment was in reference to your pet won't be doing any tanking if it gets slowed as you will easily overtake your pet's agro unless you take mitigating action.

Well, yeah. But I thought that was given that necros root the mob before sending pet in unless fear kiting.
