How feasible is it to solo Skargus on a necro?

[kjs86z2]

doesnt every necro have an abashi now?

Dump a midnight mallet into him. Should negate haste and slow 35% for a few mins. Or click a golem wand a couple times, then the mallet.

And this:

Pack all the crap you want and just mouse wheel that fool full of clicks and worts.

Interesting comparison to VKR. I have solo'd VKR several times, both as necro and as enc. I would never do VKR without charming. It is fairly trivial with a charmed and torched pet.

With Skargus the issue to me seems to be having to rush it. If, in some parallel univers, you found the Angry Goblin just up and was alone in the zone then you could summon a max-level EoT pet and clear the path and the room, med up and then max buff yourself and do the turn in. The issue is you will likely be starting the fight with adds up in the room and at less than 100 % mana.

I believe with a max level pet and mid-to-decent gear Skargus - by himself - ought to be soloable simply by loading up dots while pet engages, tossing pet a heal and stepping in to Deflux tank.

Ironically, you didn't need to jump universes to see this ... you just had to actually play the game back in the day, instead of our emulator.

(On live this quest came out just before Luclin, and the moment Luclin came out everyone wanted Luclin loot, not revamped Kunark crap, so barely anyone did the quest. I personally killed both Shady and Angry on live, and both were just sitting their uncontested.)

So I just need a Time Machine [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Highest EoT is lvl 47 with 2.7k hp.

Skargus is level 56 and quads for 600, with initial HT. That EoT is probably getting reamed big time, I'd get ready to facetank most of the fight.

Phinny triples for 600 and has similar HP so it would probably be similar in terms of incoming dps/fight length.
