Solo Self Found Rogue

[eqravenprince]

Is this possible?

[Encroaching Death]

How patient are you?

My first and only character (for a long time) was a Rogue.

I didn't solo though. I couldn't. An Orc Centurion could probably beat my 60 Rogue.

A twink Rogue is a different story.

Using fungi tunic, poisons, Instill Doubt/Intimidation coupled with that sword that procs Dooming Darkness from HS and you might be able to slowly solo.

[Tewaz]

Solo rogue is absolutely horrible, but definitely possible. You aren't going to be able to get a decent 1hp for high backstabs solo though.

[Tewaz]

Best high damage piercer you could get solo is probably Crystal Grinder (9/27) from CC, but the mob is level 33.

[Jimjam]

60 levels of getting Tumpy drunky.

[Toxigen]

possible? yes

healthy? no

[Ghost of Starman]

It was done on blue by someone many years ago, I think maybe they streamed it, they would click off buffs if people tried to give them.

Solo rogue isn't bad once you master solo backstabs, but untwinked would be painfully slow, I think the person who did self found did alot of bow / throwing kiting at higher levels.

[Encroaching Death]

Sounds like some sort of elaborate torture they do at Guantanamo Bay

[Castle2.0]

There's a way. But I cannot shares my secrets so easily. You need a way to last a fight and then recover fast. Go explore and figure it out ;)

[Chortles Snortles]

hey guys there's a way to cheat but i ain't tellin
(lol)

[Castle2.0]

Nah, it's totally legit. Could do it all in front of a GM. They would probably just laugh or high-five you. There are many ways to survive a fight and many ways to recover from a battle...some might consider... unnatural.

I have a SSF rogue that I play occasionally, up to level 29 now. I am limiting myself to classic until 50.

I mean you could do a series of 10 second kites, re-engaging only to do a round of attacks and a side/ghost step backstab, but that would be tedious as hell.

A similar strategy is to kite while doing an intimidate and get back in combat just before that special kick (hopefully) lands and then maintaining dps until fear breaks to repeat.

Personally I use a tonne of potions while soloing on melee. Usually I'll fight things that don't need potion assistance, but if RNG goes bad I'll chug a few potions. There are some strategies to offset the downsides of many potions too.

Something else I'll do is beat down a mob to 3% on a high level toon then switch over to finish the kill on a lower level melee. Great way to PL through the 40s. Maybe pushing the definition of solo. Similarly it is helpful to break camps with higher level alts before switching over to the xp toon.

There are a few heal NPCs, they are usually cheap, but impractical most of the time. IIRC there is one in cauldron and nek forest. In Rivervale there are two options.

I'm sure whatever secret strategy you are sitting on is more effective than these, but hopefully I've been an actual useful poster by providing some meaningful jumping off points for ideas.

Could you list a link to his gear?

So far it's mostly a mix of banded and reinforced, a couple pieces of reinforced are same AC as banded, but lighter weight. Scarab rings, resistance earrings from Nillipuss quest, Collar of Undead Protection, and RBF for some resist gear. Weapons are Dragoon Dirk and PGT. 13 dmg fletched bow for kiting when necessary.

I plan to make ornate chain eventually, wanted to get a bit higher so I can farm some plat for the tradeskill grind. Weapon goals for classic are Burning Rapier and Polished Steel Dirk.

[Encroaching Death]

Polished Steel Dirk.

The Qeynos Spectres are tougher than the others.

I would be curious if you could solo one at 60.

Would be cool to see anyway.

What lvl was you able to kill the dragon dirk mob? Does his buddy’s Afro also?

[branamil]

Just curious why you hate your free time?

I started at 17 and it took 31 Dorn kills to get the dirk. I was 19 when it dropped.

Challenges are fun.

[magethis]

find mobs that fight each other and barely win, then go up and backstab to finish.

an areas i can think of are gargoyles and skeletons in OOT

another might be a a solo guard somewhere that u can train npcs on, then finish the npc when they are dead

[Ananka]

Oh my, that solo guard strategy is a new one for me. Very rogue-like though.

HG on guards in NK.

[Knuckle]

Is this possible?

I've got a 57 rogue on red largely soloed, BUT, he had epic at level 10 and fungi tunic. had to give the fungi tunic back, its absolute hell soloing level 57+. wait for intim proc, kill barbarian guards near everfrost, fun for the whole family, and not worth it.

[Jimjam]

Knuckle did you try sonic bats? Did you use ghoststep stab?
