Alone in classic on an infinite timeline

Well, I'm operating on the assumption of infinite time, so the question isn't so much "can a Shaman do it without Malo or Torpor", it's more "if you tried a million times, would one of those attempts be super lucky and let you land everything you need to kill the golem (without Malo/Torpor)?" Because with infinite time you can take those million tries (and earn back the XP lost from each).

So like maybe normally it's impossible to root/rot the golem, but if there's even a 0.1% chance that you can land root, then in theory if you make enough attempts, you'll get an attempt where both roots and the DoTs manage to land, despite it being incredibly unlikely, and so you'd manage to kill the golem.

And if it "only" takes a million attempts to kill a single golem, then with infinite time you can totally make the thousand million attempts to get enough kills to actually loot Malo/Torpor.

Infinite time EQ is weird (but a fun thought experiment, thanks OP!)

An enchanter can fairly easily solo cliff golems with just Corundium or Tourmaline as a pet, hell even if charm breaks the golem wont interrupt your boltrans as long as its slowed, you stun the pet, and time it right. They're not fun, but over time you'll get all your Kunark spells that way.

Hell its not even that dangerous assuming you have infinite time for your Shaman to get your Enchanter a billion wort pots, and I think that's the crux of the whole thing, just how far do you want to take it? I bet a reasonably equipped Monk, or maybe Warrior would be better with extra slows from Truncheon of Doom, along with hundreds of corpsed Soulfires and even more wort pots could solo a pre-slowed, tashed, and maloed ToV cubby drake granting all your characters WToV armor.

Some raid mobs are probably even doable with enough soulfires laying around.
Sucks about Hate/Sky though

Well, P99 Gm's are not perfect: you can probably cheat sometimes and get away with it, but eventually you get caught. That's fine for a finite server.

But with infinite time you could just keep cheating, getting caught, trying again, etc. until you got lucky and got away with it enough times to cheat a series of encounters. And that might open up certain possibilities for say soloing epics.

Ok well... for a completely alone server its not "easy" because some of the items needed are a lot easier to get due to p99's economy

Charm the female gypsy, shes blue con at level 60, give her haste + a haste item (mithril 2handed sword)

Tash and kite Cazel for slow

Hasted gypsi + Torment of Argli + asphyxiate will defeat cazel ... now if charm breaks prepare to be summoned and splatted because Cazel is a giant and unstunnable...

Also heard there is a method where you can charm him specifically and have the gypsies gang up on him? Ive never done this method I just charmed and equiped + hasted the female gypsy in the middle, and had a druid friend throw some dots on Cazel to defeat his hp regen faster
