Velious Solo Artist may be intriguing but...

All of the selected mobs just favor classes who can slow and charm.

Need more Magic Immune mobs and mobs who don't summon.

But more intriguing than solo mobs, is breaking rooms solo. As mentioned above. Tranix solo is a joke. Breaking his room with 3 FGs and him is good funs though.

If you read through the thread you will see why. Originally, the fire giants were unrootable. I had a whole bunch of cool ideas on how I was going to solo tranix by sending in a LDC, calming his guards while they were beating on me, and camping out/memblurring and I think a few other ones (this was before I had puppet strings IIRC). Then I found out about invis pulls; everyone was just singling his guards NP because they saw invis and Tranix did not. Then the giants became rootable anyway and I was like w/e. There is no question the various mechanics changes have substantially impacted the challenge.

Also, I checked and this is now the 2nd most read thread in server chat, behind the "who googled classic everquest first" thread aka the "server firsts" thread.

Druids are a fantastic class :P. I think you're just jealous of our uber abilities.

One day, I'd like to duo Ragefire with 2 druids, its gonna be a baller fight, I just don't have the patience to poopsock him.

Velious should fix the poopsock problem, no?

The level 52 Druid Charm Spell, and the level 53 Spell Glamour of Tunare make a Druid pretty damn good at charming Animals. Granted not a lot in Dungeons but they are not as Gimped as you would think solo then. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

And they get another Charm spell at 54. So not all Gloom and Doom.

how often do you have to bump these to not get them locked?

Havent made any progress in a while. Finally got my necro to 45 and keyed for HS so gonna go for HS east over Christmas time. Would really love to close out Legend before Velious. I'm a little scared of the changes to Dartain though

[S] Reanimated Plaguebone [54 Warrior, HS East] 12/23/2014

Well it has been quite a while. Been working on PLing some alts and cleaning up quest items and stuff for Velious. Even tried a couple nights of Red which was fun and something I will probably get back to soon.

Anyway, My first real excursion into east and barely at that. A couple months ago when I was doing south a lot I took a tour through east after getting the key one day. I made it all the way to the 4 golems outside Drusellas room and then had to cap out. So I kind of knew what to expect. Over the weekend Optic gave me an east key while I was chilling in the cubby in south. There was 2 living mobs in the room before the zone out/fake wall so I calmed those and went through. 1 living pather before the first 3 spawn, I did happen to use bind sight up to the nook to see Reanimated plaguebone up. I obviously didnt know there was a pather there and ended up having to cap out, great. next time down had to gate on a critical resist on the mob over the painting. next time critical resist on the mob in the last named room in south, and so it goes.

Went back down this morning and some of the living mobs were cleaned up, still had one on this side of the painting and one in the East key room. got down to the tunnel, crit resist on the bile in the key room and gate. 2nd time though I was able to grab a key and get back into east. Finally. I was not that worried that someone had killed the RP since he didnt have the shovel and all the same mobs after the east fake wall were there. I got back to the 4 spawn before the nook where the RP was and calmed the pathing caster skelly who had to be 52+ since I couldnt use allure on him that first day. there was a devourer in the 4pack which had caused me a cap charge the day before. got my cap finger ready and calmed him from around the corner and it stuck first shot. ivued up into the nook and realized I had no plan. I memed rapture (just watched the video, couldnt find the spell for like 30seconds hah) and mezzed the named. got him tashed and slowed while the 2 pathers were away. i tucked myself in the corner nice and tight so when the other pather came back he didnt agro. next time back i mezzed the pather tashed rooted and charmed. I made a few mistakes here clicking and mezzing the wrong shit etc etc but I was freaking out a little. would have been really annoying to die here. anyway I got my pet on the named and mezzed the other pather. got him dazzled and gave a torch and haste to the pet. got my runes back up and then charm broke. got the pet mezzed and recharmed but RP resisted so I had to tank a couple rounds. Was so bad with forlorn deeds. charm broke again while the pet was still mezzed so i stunned and recharmed and finally got him back on the named. had to redazzle the other pather at some point but the hasted 51 pet destroyed the slowed 54 named. memed gate and gtfo.

I really hope this isnt the place I have to fight the rest of the named. its super tight and sketchy and I hate going through south if I dont have to.

Gonna see if I can find somewhere else thats easier to get to through the east door. Might pop over and try a reaver still before going back.

[S] a Howling Spectre [54 Monk, HS East] 12/23/2014

Well right after I finished writing the last one up I went to check on the pop in that area and maybe clear out one of the living mobs. made it down way easier this time just calming the one living mob on the south painting and ivuing straight to the fake wall in the port out room in east. got back to the nook area and saw Howling Spectre through the wall. got my buffs good and made my way into the nook. had a couple scary non crit calm resists on the living mob in the 4 spawn but made it over safely. for some reason he didnt path all the way into the nook but i got impatient and raptured him anyway. ended up agroing both pathers and getting a shit ton of mez resists even with all three mobs being tashed and had to cap.

2nd time got to Howling Spectre got him raptured agroed the other 2 guys kept getting resists on aoe mez, didnt look at timer when i finally had them mezzed, cap when in a bag. dead. figuring out how to get the corpse was fun. Ended up getting a necro summon even though i made it all the way back i was just out of reach of my corpse and he logged in. had a coffin on my friends cleric got summoned and he rezzed me.

3rd time Got rezzed up and medded up back past the fake wall in the port out room in south. this time I had a key corpse with east key and an eye to get into south. I also know where not to die if im going to again. calmed the living mob and moved into the nook. this time i tried to dazzle instead of rapture the spectre which was a huge mistake, he resisted both stuns even with a tash and the mez ended up agroing all 3 and capping

4th time
ive gotten it down to where i can get to the nook in less than 5mins now, only requires the calm at the painting calm right on the other side of the fake wall then calm at the nook. moved into the nook and raptured Howling Spectre while the other 2 were away. got him tashed and dazzled and slowed before they came back. dazzled the pather that goes to the room and agroed the mob I was using as a pet, mezed him and rooted him and named and charmed/hasted him up. keep the other pather dazzled the whole time and used him to ToT. had one charm break that I got under control with a stun + mez + boltrans (i wasnt sure if anything was dotted) got some runes back up and didnt even have time to reslow before pet raped him….didnt think loot was gonna be any good but got a bedlam for the trouble. I really hope another named doesnt pop here I am sick of it already!
