really? b/c my rogue could solo most of the way down to the 3 spawn @ the rock in Seb, and he had < 150 defense. the only mobs that'd stop my progression were the random Bok Shamans iirc

gear list plz? I've been wanting to play a solo Rogue since pretty much the day I started playing EQ back in 2000.

This sounds awesome

oh man, no this is not the route you want to take. I was illustrating that if a rogue is capable of killing 50+ mobs, then a monk could perform the same feat only much more easily. basically i'd sneak pull any double spawns, drop the mob, bandage up and wait til 100% if the next mob was tough. If it was a Kor or Jin i'd engage at 50% and just slam (i was a barb) the shit out of it.

as far as gear i had i dunno some hate & sky stuff. there are some PVPers floating around here that could probably expound on a few ideas on how to effectively solo as a rogue, im not an expert.

That's what I figured [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The sad but true fact about levelling a rogue is that it would probably be more time efficient to just farm platinum on my main and buy a powerlevel for the rogue, at least for the first 40 ish levels...

There is simply no possible way you are soloing anything dark blue in your 50s with a naked monk, the end.

It won't be pleasant or efficient, but Intimidation soloing makes it possible to kill DBs in outdoor zones, even at 60.

Having read the OP's intentions a bit more thoroughly, I'd say that monks are largely gear-independent through most of the game. Cabilis newbie armor will work a good long while for you. Save your coin for weapons, weight reducing bags, and (eventually) haste items.

That would require jboots at minimum and the stipulation was that he would be naked.

Having actually done it, no, it doesn't require JBoots.

The trick is to fight mobs such as giants that have large attack boxes. While mobs may pull ahead, they also zigzag, so you can take occasional shortcuts. Intimidation kiting isn't the only possibility, either. After proccing fear, you can also simply apply a bandage or two as well.

Fraps or it didn't happen!

And where are you killing exp mobs in outdoor zones at level 59 naked?

I remember intimidation kiting on my iksar monk around end of kunark and early velious. He did not have any outstanding gear. At the time it was a fun break from monotony of toe to toe fighting and for the most part it worked well.

I would be concerned on this server as the mob speeds seem to me to be faster than on live.

i was hoping you were a minimalist and going to do it naked regardless about gear; wanted a challenge; and i liked you

but you're not - and i'm deeply dissappointed
anyone willing to do this naked is a eq god
