Good luck on the solo/duo attempt, splorf. if anyone can pull it off im betting its you!

I literally think he is going to die trying this solo. Sorry I didn't type out an essay in apa format that would conclude you are going to die

I'm thinking about trying to get this guy solo or duo on my enchanter, which isn't quite as easy as the old two-mage-chain-pet-of-death routine. So I have a few questions:

Is he slowable/mezable/stunnable?

Is the cancel magic effect a proc or a recast?

Is it resistable?

Is it single target or AoE?

-he is slowable/not mezable I really don't think/ not sure un stun, I know push can interrupt spell cast of course.

- cancel magic is a recast not sure on the time though, never actually timed it as i use the silly mage method

- not resistable (at least with 170... maybe if you have bard MR never tested this)

- pbaoe dispel

Dispelled, Summoned, Dead. I think this is the order it will happen! Good luck tho sir!

[Kindadar]

The toughest part you will probably run into is manipulating the four swirlspine seahorses to allow you room to move in. I tried this a couple times solo on Kindadar with some success (training them and using succor). My closest attempt was 42% with Alawen training the guards away while using a ravenous stiletto tooth piranha to go in. It was a rather brief fight, and I am fairly certain had i not timed a bad bracer click, it could have been a kill.

The aoe is a PBAoE. Freezing winds perhaps? I believe it's 500 damage, but is not resistable. You can tap him for mana to hope run him oom. He doesn't hit very hard but with the AoE and casting, damage adds up quickly.

Good luck!

Phingel's dispell on a charmed pet is absolutely nothing you need to worry about. you just need to order your pets buffs appropriately so that your charm isnt at the top.

so...

charm a pet (charm is currently now the top slot) drop a ton of dummy buffs on it other than one simple fast casting dummy buff (like see invis)...

now drop your charm and root your pet. root takes the top slot. recharm pet. now your charm is way on the bottom after a ton of other buffs.

pull phingel. at his first dispell he will drop your root. replace root with see invis and recast see invis every time he dispells so that he never makes it to your charm spell down near the bottom. Dead fish.

Tried and True. done it on phingel, as well as ragefire

I question where you have tried this Catherin. I have actually tried to solo phinny and unfortunately this is not how his dispell works. Before the fight I junk buffed, HP buffed and resist buffed. As a shammy this meant I was around 12-13 buffs (leaving room for torpor etc). Upon engaging I had 0 buffs within 20 seconds. I understand that most every other mob that dispells works differently, but I can tell you that phinny is unique in this respect.

I think his dispell is a proc that happens everytime he attacks. Now what I don't know is whether the proc is aoe or not, and I do not think it is. Meaning if you somehow were to maintain agro on phinny and keep alive, your pet would be ok. The only class I can see soloing phinny is like a fantastically geared monk or warrior with puppet strings. Everyone else is either going to get the crap kicked out of them tanking phinny or will have their charm dispelled if they don't tank him.

Now as I wrote in the solo thread, on live mages could chain cast pets on phinny so long as they were able to time /pet back off to make phinny use his summon on the old pet before the new pet was cast. So like right before you new pet was about to be cast you would /pet back off, phinny would summon the old pet, and then once you kill the old pet phinny would run to you but would be met by your new pet.
However on p99, mages generate agro just by existing and phinny will not attack the new pet right away and will instead go straight at the mage. This is a bug of course and has been due to be fixed for awhile. So mages should have a chance to solo phinny but because of agro not being live-like, they are unable to here.
