Cliff golem duo question

[Troxx]

60 troll shaman without epic/malo/torpor (but with fungi/focus)
60 human monk with good weapons, decent (not raid) gear and fungi

Doable or would it require malo unresistable to stick the slow? After slow? I'm hopeful (??) that I could keep up on the healing.

Thoughts?

After slow you could heal just fine....if the monk has a tash stick that would help. The trick will be getting it slowed without malo (and without getting summoned from the monk trying to land tash....)

[Troxx]

I'm assuming kite until slow - would be a cinch if tossed a bard to handle the kite in the mix

[RDawg816]

Yeah, if you had someone able to kite it until you landed slow that'd be great. It's a lot if work to be that person and the slower (without malo).

Grats on level 60!

I heard those cliff golems can drop some decent spells, never done them myself due to their ridiculous HP....are they better than doing the wurms in SF?

[Tupakk]

I think you could do it but it wont be easy and will take a while.

and

Swish no, Cliff Golems sucks for spells, but they do have that chance to drop torpor so thats why people do them.

Back in Kunark a friend of mine and I duo'd them with a 60 rogue and Torpor shaman trying to get spells to drop. Killed a bunch of them, never saw a single spell and the loot was minor coin and minor gems like Onyx. Dunno if their loot tables have changed since then, but they didn't seem worth the trouble compared to other options.

But with your set up, you should be able to duo them just fine.
My mistake, I misread. Without Torpor I think it'd be difficult. But try it anyway, worst case, the monk FD's and the shaman WC cap's away.

Probably would be doable even without slow. I solod them on a mid 50s mage on live.

I just did it for the challenge then, didnt even know what they dropped. I just liked pushing the solo limit. Chain petting on summoning mobs was very hard on a shitty connection with no pet window. You would have to type /pet back off and spam shift up to blow summon then quickly type get lost right before the next pet pops

*Drop rates sucks on them but they do have a big table.
*You can duo them without torp or malo if you can land malosini+slow before your mana is gone.
*They do summon.
*You can get bad pulls via guard(s) adds.
Without slow you or anyone else will get fucked up fast.

I don't like talking about certain mobs because I'm selfish and want to keep the loots for myself. That said,.. Don't expect to kill 1 or 2 cliff golems and get a torp instantly.

I solo them with torp. I've seen enchanters solo them. I've seen necromancers solo them.

--Duo Shm+Monk The Safe Strat--
Find a level 60 monk to duo with, preferably with a fungi.

Pre-combat setup:
Yours + monks buffs. (haste/regen right before combat)
Your pet up
meditate until you're full mana.

Combat:
monk pulls via FD to avoid guard agro.(There is a couple tricks to this for soloing. Mostly just pay attention to the time of day. Where guards path and where indiviual mobs stand.)

DO NOT DAMAGE IT yet, It summons.

Your goal is to finish your malosini cast at max range on the cliff golem. It may take you several trys. Run it all around in big loops trying to avoid any potential adds.
If you do get an add your dog should get it's agro and the monk can go pound on it while you're trying to land malosini.

Once you land malosini continue running big loops and start spamming your slow on it. You want to be again at max range when you're casting slow. That way the golem never gets to you to hit you.

Your goal during this whole loop running routine is to not get hit. SoW up, strafe run, jump what ever it takes. stay away from the cliff golem if it's not slowed.

Two things happen at or before this point.
#1: you run out of mana or get below a comfortable amount of mana to continue and finish the battle. If this happens you want to zone, WW is your honorable place to zone. If you want to be a douche zone into sky fire.

#2 you've landed the malosini and slow leaving you with enough mana to toss the occasional heal on the monk and re-land another slow if need be.

---
Once you get torp it's a pretty similar setup just no monk.
I presume you have your epic.

If you want me to fill in any details or just want to call me stupid go for it. Hope this helps in some way.

I can make a video tutorial if people demand it.
