Which classes can solo AM / Frenzy?

Someone mentioned a druid, walk me through the frenzy room on that one.

Druids cannot do enough DPS to solo this room at lvl 50 with a manastone. Even getting the mobs solo you will not kill them reliably.

Mages absolutely can break in and hold the AM camp. I've done it with mediocre gear and root nets. Honestly breaking AM is only hard for mage if AM is up, otherwise easy peasy. The 49 earth pet is pretty dope.

As for Frenzy, while I'm sure it can be broken by mages, it's difficult and unreliable in my opinion and likely would require a gate out and back after killing one. Root nets will definitely win the day though if you have enough. From personal experience I stay away from Frenzy solo as it's too dicey and I hate using all my nets up at once like that.

frenzy is very easy for a mage to hold once its broken up, frenzied ghoul is an easier kill than AM, with pet frequently ending up with about 50% health. I've broken the camp w/o nets by gating between burning down a mob, but with how crowded guk is now that seems like a good way to get your camp ganked these days. With a few nets it'd be fairly trivial on anything but an unnaturally difficult set of initial spawns

actually as a 60 epic druid on red to camp frenzy and AM, AM is much harder to solo than frenzy room.... it is impossible for a cleric pre 55+ to solo am room from what i remember, i never had a manastone tho

Bard can solo frenzy as well. Break is tough tough though

bard can solo every mob in classic that can be mezzed

do tiny bit of dps -> outregen mob while keeping it mezzed -> repeat

Do this and respawns will be on you before kill the PHers and the pather. You can snare aggro kite and walk the mobs in circles once broken, your drum dots do 141dmg per tic, you won’t get hit this way. Most bards severely overestimate how much room is needed to do this. So the 3 PHers or frenzied is roughly 19050hp. The single pather is a lower lvl wizard with less than 3k hp, it’s quite easy to handle. At 141 dmg per tic(lvl 50 bard with MM drum) you can push out roughly 39,000hp in the 28minutes it takes for respawns, this excess gives you time to separate spawns, take pee breaks, accounts for the first 6 seconds of each fight all 3 dots aren’t up, also accounts for a few resists(you always want fufils/snare up if either resist sing again instead of one of the other dots). This also gives the more active player enough time to kill the cubby mob and two additional pathers in the room before frenzy if they want to. Breaking the room is the bards single hardest challenge but using lull and some creativity/skill it’s manageable as long as you don’t get a crit lull resist with all 3 up. Hope this helps some newer bards out there. Next time I do the camp I’ll make a video. Rule of thumb if you can land fufils, it is below lvl 45 and doesn’t cast or summon, a bard can easily kill it in a dungeon. Outdoor zone if it doesn’t cast or summon, mob is your bitch(think allizewsaur).

PS. this strategy can be used to easily solo nobles or bards/isa/boshinko in highkeep and you won’t even have to leave the room for stellar exp 46+.

Mostly true. The only other factor is time and respawns. If you have a single target and nothing is going to interfere, you'll never lose. If you are up against the clock and respawns will overwhelm you, it's trickier.

Wiz having Diamondskin and Manastone gives me that extra mana needed to finish it off as long as I don't get too many root breaks or resists and get pounded on some. Ill be attempting this again soon since ive got a few gear upgrades!
