So after about a week of trying I finally got the myconid spore king solo. I had been thinking a while about how to pull him and finally I came up with a cute trick: I could Dictate him, hit him with a Bracer of the Hidden, invis myself and zone out, and then when I came back I could facepull him normally (if you were stalking my WTB thread you could see I suddenly wanted a ton of see invis items).
Anyway, the spore king himself isn't actually that hard solo but I had an amazing combination of bad luck and stupidity. 1st attempt: got him to 20%, charm broke and for some reason i was ducking and couldn't use the strings 2nd attempt: came down with a group on the theory that they could kill it if I wiped, but Trysa pulled him before i had a pet. Then when I was running back from firepotting the tunic to an EC mule he spawned again. 3rd attempt: screwed up the pull (you have to break charm on him really fast or he will try and 'save' you from his guardians, get injured, and summon you) 4th attempt: pulled him and lagged out immediately afterwards (see screenshot above) 5th attempt: I forgot he dispelled after all this BS and he poofed charm twice 6th attempt: calm failed on the room of three where i was pulling my pet, I got 3 stun resists and nuked for 800 and died. 7th attempt: I got disgusted and called Svenn down. We invis pulled him normally, but he fell into the water near NG and summoned my pet under the world. 8th attempt: success. Technically this is cheating, but whatever, its my thread and I got tired of all the BS. Pulling him is easy; you can get a 60 enc and verify it yourself. Svenn pulled with some mini strength debuff that didn't affect the fight. A few screenies: [You must be logged in to view images.

It gave me great pleasure to see 'froglok krup knight looks stupid'. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I had to heal the pet with a reaper of the dead. Normally even with a L48 pet that shouldn't be necessary but it ate quite a few rounds of melee while i was backing him up trying to get him out of the water. The other problem is that when the spore king runs through the jail he gets hasted by the illis shamans which really increases the degree of difficulty. I may try and clear them out at some point.

Its quite possible to do him without clickies I think; I didn't have a single charm break and plenty of mana for another rapture/allure if I needed it. I'm so traumatized by this experience it may be a while. | ||

Jumpalot Down Solo with strong clickies! Finally. Only used puppet strings, root nets, and potions I made (not sure if potions even count as strong clickies nor root nets.. but in any case no CH sticks nor any DA idols were used in this fight.
So the fight is basically like this: I bring two pets down. the first pet has a tash stick and I invis and pull... tola sees invis so if i run quick enough I can get away from him before he casts and then he comes single... Tola is hasted so his dps is incredible till slowed... So i let the first pet tank while i malo and attempt to slow. The problem with letting my pet tank his tola will slow him, making his dps nearly 0... So I let tola kill the first pet and immediately charm the 2nd one... I didn't take any early SS's, so the first SS is after tola has been slowed and after my first pet has died and the second pet is charmed SS1: Just started using the 2nd pet. You can see the 2 potions in my inventory. They are cancel magic and cancel poison. I click them whenever I get tash'd/asphixiated/slowed --> this keeps tola busy and keeps his dps down... he doesnt seem to nuke when doesn't have you both tashed and dotted which is immensely important. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] SS2: I have plenty of mana and tola is at 60%. I am doing well dispelling his stuff and keep tanking him to avoid having pet slowed. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] SS3: Tola at 53%. I started to try to malosini him to make my nukes land easier when he got low, tried about 3 times but none stuck. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] SS4: Things got a bit intense I guess so I stopped taking SS's for awhile.. Here he is at 5%. You can see I am in the process of casting a nuke and hoping to god it lands. This is to kill him before he gates. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

SS5: Tola down!! You can see he was casting gate by the bubbles but my nuke landed at around 2-3% and finished him off, was very close.. had the nuke not landed he wouldve gotten gate off.. what a pain in the ass this part is
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] SS6: Tola's Corpse being looted [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] SS6: loots + finishing off his stupid pet for good measure.. his pet does a ton of dps but i root it throughout the fight. unfortunately my pet pushed tola right into it at the end which i was worried about but luckily i channelled the nuke thru it. [You must be logged in to view images.

However in the end a well timed nuke was all that was needed... and of course a bit of luck. | ||
