Solid alpha, 6 hours of a paladin at disco would be multiple pack resist cr's

Also not to keep the discussion going opmeter but number theory is fun until you're actually in it. The monk always wins when equally geared. Our paladins can pull it off but they will never do it more efficiently or reliably. The answer to OPs question is monk. Paladin, sk, bard and ranger can all manage it though.

Racing to a mob has nothing to do with the pally vs monk argument. It was about being the most badass Melee solo artist and pally with 15k of self healing will win everytime when time isn’t a factor.

Your paladin isn’t bis.

Show me a bis monk capable of soloing more NamedS than a bis pally. No way that’s happening with mend vs what pallies can self heal for. Especially now in the state of p99 with soulfire. .

spent very little plat on bbeta. spent many hours on bbeta. Less gear dependent solo melee would be SK for dungeon crawls imo

When did it turn into a speed run challenge? OP mentioned safe, consistent, big target.

My pally gear is garbage for a solo challenge but I wouldn’t have a better shot with equivalent plat into another melee. Lulling is very consistent with over 150cha. Worst case you can haul to the zone with DA and reset before some mobs respawn. Lull past the ones that did.

Top tier pally with FT items and a few backpacks of jaspers and a DW BP could go very far. With enough time and queued up YouTube that is. Then again, speculation as again I don’t have good stuff [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

A monk will have an easier time bypassing stuff and getting to different spots much faster.

That other night I went down to where Bbeta was at. Stuff had respawned, I cleared from entrance to about NG just killing everything. I calmed stuff till I got to the disco bugs and golem and killed those for gems. In the past I have frequently cleared by myself to that area. I didn't go past a certain point because I wanted to let Bbeta do his thing.

Sometimes when I clear at groups I will calm and sometimes I will say f-it and just start with a root. My charisma kind of sucks, I sometimes swap things like temporarily bag Brain to raise it. Calm still does pretty ok and there is no reason a Paly couldn't have a Calm set to have it do pretty great. I'm kind of lazy about it and just accept that I might get a crit failure and have to root.

The mobs in seb do progressively hit harder and get more resistant It's kind of interesting with bashes and stuns I sometimes gain a decent amount of hpts fighting the earlier casters due to lifetap procs. Or if I'm feeling particularly un-lazy and a mob doesn't summon I can root it and joust it.

I haven't spent a bunch of time soloing really deep in seb because it does get pretty difficult with the increased chance of resistant adds, but it's also been a long time since I tried. There isn't too much worthwhile middle of the road stuff. It's a lot more chill to solo camps in Chardok like Overseer, KM, and Battle Master.

I'm curious what mob Pint thinks a Paladin couldn't handle that an equally geared monk could. I agree with Aalpha that I think there are several that a Paladin would have a hell of a time getting solo.
