So what kind of cool stuff can you solo at 80? - Page 2

my little bit of advice... sever hate to pull mobs to safe areas FTW. Seb is a fun solo the only thing is the repops are pretty quick and namers are usually longer enounters so you'll need to be on your toe's.. but that really depends on how much your relying on your pet. I see some chanters solo using onnly pet damage. this is do-able but VERY time consuming. Also Seb is fun because you can ninja all the shinies that pretty much you and brawlers can get at.

Awesome!

Oh, also got another question here if you guys don't mind. In Chelsith, if some of the named mobs are not up, but their PH's are, is it possible to get the nameds to spawn if you kill the PH? Or is it pretty much luck of the draw when the zone is made?

Stuns are your friend, have at fastest possible reuse times. I use deep focus and relic legs instead of intense focus for the 3s faster reuse timer.

To rapidly clear through to somewhere you want to go, charm a mob and sick it on it's nearby buddy. Root the target, when your pet dies, charm the target and sick it on it's nearby buddy.

When you get to the thing you want to kill, you need to be able to prevent it from killing you. Usually this means stunlocking it.

In simple forms this will typically involve mezzing the mob on pull. Whether you have a clear area and can just pull with mez, or not so clear and you body pull or pet pull it back to you and mez when it arrives.

Once mezzed, root it, root is your friend.

Cycle through single target stun, encounter stun, pbae stun. If you have really high reuse you can single target stun again. Refresh root when last stun is going, back off and cancel dots, and mez it. Back your pet out early.

Wait for stuff to cycle around again and repeat.

If it is mezzable and stunable, it is killable. You may have to wear pow proc gear though cause some fights can clear 7-10 mins if you're alone. I find it much much easier to bring a warlock or an assassin along with me and do little ninja strikes than to solo it.

Oh yeah, and be prepared to spend 45 mins getting somewhere and then dying and having to start over.

- macros work wonders as well (/pet backoff + ST mezz // /pet attack and /pet ranged/melee + root)
-no dps proccing gear - can use however allows to to lay down your debuffs priar to the first wave of stuns and dps( yes i still use my int hex dolls ;0 )

you can't kill ph to get named to spawn. you can zone out and wait 25 min to do so - i don tmind doing that as i always have something around the house i can do for 20 min while zone resets so that whenyou get your items you want - can sell loot rights for a pretty penny.

MuffinPirate · 04-04-2008, 01:36 PM

What do you mean, wait 25 minutes?

I know it's possible to zone in and out until you see the first named spawn, but I didn't have to wait any extra time to do that. Or are you talking about something different?

Proc's actually land prior to the mez landing, so just don't use any proc's that apply dot's and you're fine.

There are 5 named mobs in chelsith that when the zone is created, two of them are up.

Krel'Vhap the Defeater (1st right)
Bbal'Gaz the Enthraller (2nd right)
Kuom'Ziki the Prevailer (3rd)
Uth'Gak the Grand Devotor (1st left)
Gok'Chai the Substantiator (2nd left)

You can zone in and run around the outside of the zone to see which ones are up, they have fairly long range echo's so you just have to run near their spawn area to hear them.

If the mob you're after isn't up you can zone out as long as you haven't killed anything, and wait for the 30 min timer that started when you zoned in to expire. That clears the zone and you can zone back in.

Best items, in my opinion are from the enthraller:
\aITEM 1921462031 168445287:Will-bender of Drudhi-kha\/a
\aITEM 1459643299 -1322474953:Coil of Vile Spawn\/a
\aITEM 1636191684 -627509994:Raging Leviathan Girdle\/a

The prevailer:
\aITEM 888430210 -107059330:Prime Clasp of Sustenance\/a

And the substantiator:
\aITEM -620169597 -193212380:Unailing Shoulderpads of Zeng'Tcho\/a
\aITEM 1166106249 773548188:Yha-lei Symbiotic Choker\/a

All of the mobs drop master's as well, and the blue baron I've seen drop two several times. The baron and the mucus also have items worth selling.

MuffinPirate · 04-04-2008, 07:59 PM

The mucus seems really hard. Probably take me like 30 minutes to solo it..lol. = /

Are all the bosses in Crypt of Agony immune to control effects?

Harowen · 04-05-2008, 04:19 AM

Yeah they are all immune, so that's annoying.

For Chelsith I typically bring my warlock buddy along with me. While I CAN solo those mobs, it's enough for me that I did once to prove I could.

Bringing a warlock or an assassin along changes it from 6-10 cycles of stun stun stun while nuking mez back off wait, to 2.

Senelin · 04-05-2008, 06:10 PM

with a fury you can do it very easily as well, or a warden. Although the fury's DPS is much higher, the warden packs an extra root.

MuffinPirate · 04-06-2008, 04:24 AM

Thank you for all the advice!

I have not tried Chardok yet. I imagine some groups would roll around and be miffed when they see some coercer killing their named..lol.
