its been said, but seriously, there is no point to shit up this thread. no one is trying to hide their use of puppet strings or any other clickies. for encs, strings mostly make soloing safer. for shaman, they add some dps in the right situation. for other classes, they are crazy OP, but its how you combine them with your class that matters. if you think my solo kill of drusella had nothing to do with chain rooting her and nuke/dotting her for over 6k damage, then you are crazy. you could hope to get lucky as a rogue and let the pet do all the work, but then you are stepping more and more into luck territory, and any charm break will be an almost instant death.
i am very curious as to what a druid can solo without these clickies, but the list is very unimpressive. 99% of non-summoning mobs are a piece of cake, and most summoning mobs are nearly impossible. this is a great thread and a great challenge for anyone who is looking for something new in an old game. i for one seriously thought i was one of the best solo'ers out there, but after this thread i realize there are a lot of places to push my limits and a lot of people who can do more than i can. i've already achieved new things. hell, I thought it was impossible to solo tranix as a druid, even with strings, but I proved that wrong. is it unfair that i don't have all the best VP gear and epic? sure, you could argue that. full VP gear + epic would add over 200hp to my toon plus a ton of resists, and i'm sure some mana too. all that would make these fights much easier (EDIT: just like strings or other clickies make fights easier). just thought of a mob that could be added to the list: Eejag (lavastorm). its an epic mob, but its triggered by text only, so its very easy to spawn and there is no competition for him. the mob is hard because 1) cannot be pulled out of the lava, 2) summons, 3) there isn't much in the zone to charm (maybe the merchant?), 4) he is nearly 100% immune to spells. gwan and trunt could be added to that, but dont have to be. just tossing it out there. <3 the thread :P | ||

OK after some consideration I have added the Donal's BP to the list of clickies. It's just so strong; there is a reason it was nerfed and fairly quickly I believe on live. I imagine this is the opposite result that Fazlazen intended [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
I have also revived the D- category and changed my sheet accordingly. Finally I checked Ploktor's impressive kills again and Getsome claims to have done Maestro Duo (two clerics with strings) and Motec claims to have done Ixiblat duo. If you guys post on this thread with details I'll add you to the god mode list. This leaves us with no one doing god mode without the clickies which I think feels about right. | ||

[ ] Slizik the Mighty [54 Warrior, The Hole]
Are we sure this guy spawns on this server? Been farming the ph for quite a while now and no sign. Even had to kill the SK epic mob that spawns in his place sometimes, and that thing was a beast. Hit for 310 with moderately high resists. Nothing a rogue couldn't solo easily though. | ||

I fought him once months ago. I got a charm break, it turns out he is immune to stun, and I wiped. That was the only time I've ever seen him though. MQEmulator says he should be pretty common so perhaps his spawn rate needs to be tweaked, IDK.

Here are some pics of the Slizik fight. He himself wasn't so bad, but as I was using regular pet, and there are many mobs in the area, I was getting very close to having several repops on me while fighting him. Also had some issues getting him slowed, but once that was complete, he dropped pretty easily. I kept a rat rooted nearby in case I needed to use strings, but that didn't become necessary. Not the most difficult of solo encounters. I'm sure even a rogue could solo him just fine.

The Korocust fight was quite frustrating actually. We wiped to him twice before. The first wipe was when we tried to rapture him, but he is not rapturable. The second wipe I was getting blinded too often and we pushed him into his pit area and got adds.
The fight where we succeeded, we pulled him all the way back to a safe spot to give us more room. At the safe spot we had 2 mobs setup to charm waiting for us. Slowing a lvl 61 mob isn't easy, and by the time we got it done I think both pets were around the 30% mark (I backed mine off and let his get agro around then). Once he was slow it basically involved me tanking and casting cure blind on myself. Loraen cast Bedlam a couple times. Koro's dps was surprising, maybe he was still hasted. 1st SS: You can see that this is a terrible screen, but I was blind for most of the fight =P. He is at 61% here and our pets are low, but I have plenty of mana to tank with. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] One of the worst things that could have happened was for me to be blind when my allure broke. Koro's blind seemed to last full duration and it was never resisted, so I had to cure blind everytime it hit. That is part of the reason why I don't have many SS's. 2nd SS: You can't see Koro at all here because I am basically right on top of him because there are mobs behind us. But you can see that he is at 6% and I have plenty of mana. Did not have to reslow him so the fight seemed to take 5-6 minutes. It seemed like a lot longer of a fight though becuase of his regen.
