Impressive Kills

[Handull]

So I was thinking today about some of the more impressive kills I've done, seen, and heard about, and was curious what others have done. I figure this also might serve as a nice challenge for people to try and top each other.

In terms of rules, there aren't many. You can use any items in the game. Exploited kills aren't allowed. The number of real people who are involved with the pull and the kill count towards how many people helped. So if you have a monk pull the mob single for you and then you solo it, you should mention that. However if you log a monk, single pull the mob to a safe area and park it in place, then log another toon to solo it, that would be a more legit solo kill, imho. Also it would be cool to see some uncommon duo/trios of mobs, as you'll see I list one below.

Just a short list of mobs I can think of with impressive kills:

Efreeti (solb) - Solo'd by enchanter/shaman/druid

Drusella Sathir (charasis) - Solo'd by enchanter/druid

Spore King (seb) - Duo'd by Shaman+SK, Trio'd by SK+enchanter+druid

Gorgolosk (sky) - Trio'd by War+2Clerics, included logging out to other toons for the pull

Phiny (kedge) - Trio'd by Cleric+Mage+(Bard), the bard just pulled away the 4 guards

Master Yael (the hole) - I'm sure it could/has been done with less, but I did it with 8 before, though it might have been 8+DT taker, can't remember

Venril Sathir (karnor's) - Saw something about 16 or 20 taking him out recently




I bet people have done other rare kills solo or with a few people. Would be curious to see how few people could kill raid targets, but I know that probably won't happen due to competition.

[Comapavik]

I would regularly solo Phinny on live with my bard. Just straight up melee, and mez / heal song when I got low hp. Took a while but not incredibly tough.

[Daldaen]

Your notion of 'solo' is incorrect. Solo implies 1 player. Just say killed... unless the Efreeti / Drusella were boxed ones, then I guess you could call it soloed.


Also P99's Efreeti is incorrect, he shouldn't summon and should be snareable and rootable. So he *should* be soloable by quite a few classes, especially the ones that can pull him to zoneline.

Your notion of his notation is incorrect.

Efreeti (solb) - has been soloed by the a player of the following classes: enchanter, shaman, druid

[Corrodith]

28 man nexona kill was pretty crazy

One time on my necro I killed a crypt wurm, golem master, and about 4 adds all in the same botched pull (was chain agro from the pather in HS north wing)

he is snareable and rootable.

efreeti and drusella have both been solo'd by the classes i listed without any other assistance. the mean reason I mentioned the whole 'logging another toon' thing is that i am under the impression the people who trio'd gorg in sky used a monk to pull him out then the monk logged on a cleric while the other cleric and war stayed alive.

was that during the Kunark timeline or later on?

[Slave]

was that during the Kunark timeline or later on?

Not currently possible with a Kunark bard. I have done this regularly with a mage and cleric.

[Messianic]

On live, I soloed the Froglok King repeatedly as a monk. That's probably not all that impressive, but my gear wasn't that great, so it felt pretty awesome to me.

[Arclanz]

I recall seeing a youtube video of a 52 iksar monk soloing vox. 5+ years ago.

[Snagglepuss]

Phinny can be killed in vanilla with two mages and a puller-easily.

[baub]

gore w/ 22(?)
tranix / rokyl pre-kunark
ixiblat fer

long story short shaman are good class

[Happyfeet]

A druid soloed drusella? She's 55 and summons, I'd like to see that. I guess if you mallet spam her to slow...

Also, me and shahyrar duo spore king all the time (enc/druid).

[Snagglepuss]

Druids solo Undertow pretty easily I hear.

[Jjlent]

duo'd phinny pre-kunark with a 50mage and me(49 necro at the time). i pulled guards he tagged n held him off til i could get a pet up

[Wotsirb401]

I know 2 monks who duo'd Fungi King on this server


And also yes 16-20 VS with server lag and unable to group or talk in public channels

[Reptak]

Sol B Efreeti is soloable by epic'd monk as well. Was using full MR Gear and two stunning weapons (lots of push). Helps to get a SoS proc off the imps first.

Not sure how impressive this is, but I was stoked.

[quido]

I've duoed fungi king as Shaman + Cleric. I know Warrior + Cleric can do it though the flee is kind of risky.

I'd like to see a druid do Efreeti without puppet strings!

[quido]

I know 2 monks who duo'd Fungi King on this server

This would be impressive as hell! They actually killed the named?

[Snagglepuss]

Anyone ever do Mage / Shaman duo of Fungi?

What about just using earth pet as the tank pet?

[Susanbanthony]

One group Overking (Cleric, Enc, Sham, Monk, Rog, War).

What was more impressive was the botched pull that brought us 9 or so Royal Guards. The warrior is yelling to camp while the enchanter calmly locks it all down and we kill one-by-one. Jeremy was there. Envyy was the shit.

[quido]

Haha yeah, the warrior was actually a paladin (Barthorn). That was a hell of a fucking job from Envyy though - I thought for sure we were dead.

In all fairness, though, this was before the melee nerfs in Kunark. It used to be a lot easier to interrupt Overking.

I'd like to see this.

I've heard of Mage and Shaman duoing fungi king, but I've never seen it happen. It sounds like a situation that would result in death more often than not. Shaman heals can barely keep up with the king's dps unslowed, and any amount of debuffs you throw in there is going to take away from your heals. Without having both Malo (preferably Malosini) and Tash landed on the king, an earth pet's roots have basically no chance of landing, and even with these debuffs it is shaky from a pet. Trying to land debuffs on the king pretty much means that the shaman will end up tanking instead of the pet which is bad news.

In short, I wouldn't want to try it =) You pretty much need to get really lucky on stuff landing.

[Writ3r]

epic pet = GG (if the mage is pro enough to let the shaman do his end of things with no aggro transfer)

[Susanbanthony]

It's all coming back to me now (I forget after only 1 year? qq), Wurli was our monk. Who opened all the doors?

[Splorf22]

I've done the fungi king several times with Senim (enc/mag). I'm pretty sure the best duo for the king is enchanter/shaman: rapture+tash = 4 chances to slow him with max -MR. Enchanter/mage is also pretty safe b/c you can always rerapture, but its a bit more dangerous with heals.

Overking with one group is pretty impressive.

[Jarnauga]

i solo'd tranix once.. but then he started running away into 2 other FGs and died

biggest win/fail of my life

[Handull]

One group overking is sweet, was hoping there was a royals kill with low #'s. Figured you could do some crazy things with an epic'd mage. I'd say a monk doing efreeti is pretty cool.


A druid soloed drusella? She's 55 and summons, I'd like to see that. I guess if you mallet spam her to slow...

puppet string charm a pet, mallet to slow her. there are a few other nice clickies to help keep you or your pet alive if things get dicey. there are a lot of little things that have to be just right for it to work, and no one has to have her on farm status :P i frapsed a bit of my second attempt, but its just the free version so there are only two 30 second videos, and i ended up hatting out due to so many charm and room breaks. finally got her on my third try. Freeid was soloing basement and Jainis (ranger) was soloing zone in at the time. she had a mace


I'd like to see a druid do Efreeti without puppet strings!

hmmm, that sounds like a fun challenge. i haven't gotten around to soloing him yet with puppet strings, but i've been meaning too. after i see how easy/hard that is, then maybe i'll try it with just a bat pet. would have to use other clickies for sure tho.

i'm wondering if a shaman could solo drusella. slow'd shes not much of a melee threat, but her DoTs can be huge, unless you resist them. also the shaman wouldn't be able to cast a pet until after she was pulled, at least the way i do it. i don't know enough about playing a shaman to know if that would be possible.

[Triangle]

I love stuff like this, my list:
duo
-Duo'd fungi king with mage (senim). possible with epic pet, equip pet with tash stick helps. It was far riskier than doing it with enchanter, but that said we never wiped on king when we got him, think we killed him twice.
- DUo'd fungi king with enchanter (loraen). This is infinitely safer than mage.

solo
- seb jugg
- efreeti
- cliff golem (my best one probably, self buffed, took me ages, but made easier because you can kit him around till you malosini + slow).

on my list
hierophant prime grekal
phinny (don't really know how hard he hits, might not be possible).

[Supaskillz]

I know 2 monks who duo'd Fungi King on this server


And also yes 16-20 VS with server lag and unable to group or talk in public channels

I would like to see 2 monks try to duo the king. I think they would both need a soulfire to pull this off lol

[Treats]

Duo broke Fear and killed Fright for Shaman Tear with Clr/Monk.

Kinda iffy though if its impressive or not with the current state of outdoor zones.

[Supaskillz]

My top stuff: trio emp with rogue/rogue/cleric. trio jumpy rogue/rogue/cleric and rogue/sk/cleric. Duo freeti with rogue/lvl 59 sham, duo freeti rogue/cleric. Duo crypt camp including ICGs rogue/sham(excluding emp of course). (no donal's bps on any of these clerics)

Have killed pretty much every named mob in seb with sk/rogue/cleric other than prot and trak.(I think we have not ever killed ostiary or armorer but obviously would be easy kills).

I know mine don't sound that cool, but im a rogue cut me some slack im not gonna solo anything cooler than a kor shaman.

[Snagglepuss]

I don't know if it's possible to do Phinny without pet classes. I suppose if you had really good resist gear and and enduring breath item. He AoE dispells about every few seconds.

[Dullah]

We did naggy on red with 12 people. All level 50s obv, as were still in classic.

Had a group and a half more on the ramp guarding the raid from pvp, but only 12 in the lair.

[Giovanni]

I heard Nihilum only had one cleric and one shaman for healers out of the 12 when they dropped Naggy on red. The cleric was level 40 and spent the fight trying to raise 1hb. The shaman spent the whole fight nuking and his pet was near the top of the dps charts.

[Dullah]

Lol.

You heard wrong.

[Snagglepuss]

I felt like a boss when I first solo'd Allizewsaur. I mean, not like I'm doing BIG things, but it's a stepping stone.

[Nivar Quartz]

One group Overking (Cleric, Enc, Sham, Monk, Rog, War).

What was more impressive was the botched pull that brought us 9 or so Royal Guards. The warrior is yelling to camp while the enchanter calmly locks it all down and we kill one-by-one. Jeremy was there. Envyy was the shit.

Think we did Overking with 4 or 5, 2 epic pets a Donals BP cleric and a Monk, Pulled to zone in with no adds though so the risk was much lower.

[Supaskillz]

I don't know if it's possible to do Phinny without pet classes. I suppose if you had really good resist gear and and enduring breath item. He AoE dispells about every few seconds.

phinny at lvl 60 never lands anything including his ae dispell.

have killed him with like 7 nopets, was overkill big time

[getsome]

Think we did Overking with 4 or 5, 2 epic pets a Donals BP cleric and a Monk, Pulled to zone in with no adds though so the risk was much lower.

Pretty sure we had Adriana switch to another class after pull. I thought it was 4 manned.

cleric/necro duo prot , jumpy

Cleric/monk fungi king. Pretty sure daltheb and I were the first duo to camp that about a year ago.

Cleric/cleric duo maestro

Pre kunark

Cleric solo efreeti, frenzy camp,

[Supaskillz]

cleric/necro duo prot , jumpy

Cleric/cleric duo maestro

these 2 impress me. I think donals bp can keep up an emmissary of thule on jumpy np, but no way it can on prot. I am interested how this was done.

I am impressed 2 clerics can eve get to maestro, much less kill it

[Cwall]

We did naggy on red with 12 people. All level 50s obv, as were still in classic.

Had a group and a half more on the ramp guarding the raid from pvp, but only 12 in the lair.

the coolest part about this story is the part you left out

you know, the part where rogean confirmed that you guys exploited him by pulling him into a wall where he couldn't fight back

[Dullah]

Another dbag sticking his ignorant nose where it doesn't belong.

This kill was 3 or 4 months ago, not December. Those bugs were also reported by Nihilum, much to your dismay.

[Shinko]

i watched save solo kill DS

was pretty neat to see the pure "skill" of enc

[Tasslehofp99]

Duo'd Efreeti with a 60 dru/58 warr.

[Susanbanthony]

Cleric/cleric duo maestro


Yeah, that's awesome... (puppet strings?).

I did cleric/enc duo on maestro prior to the charm fix.

[Wotsirb401]

This would be impressive as hell! They actually killed the named?

yeah back when Monks were GOD mode, they would both pop disc's and triple hit with 2h's

[heartbrand]

Except you used charm fire giants (not classic in it's current form) which were immune to fear (not classic).

[Snagglepuss]

Love when reds come and start arguing in blue forums about red kills.

[Portsche]

A druid soloed drusella? She's 55 and summons, I'd like to see that. I guess if you mallet spam her to slow...
puppet string charm a pet, mallet to slow her. there are a few other nice clickies to help keep you or your pet alive if things get dicey.So no, a druid didn't solo Drusella Sathir without first transforming himself to an enchanter. Loan me those puppet strings and I'll show you the first rogue to solo it...

[arsenalpow]

Sadad and I have duo'ed tons of stuff. Efreeti by far being the most fun at like level 54

[Dullah]

Except you used charm fire giants (not classic in it's current form) which were immune to fear (not classic).
Lol, the haters pop out the woodwork.

Look how jelly they are.

If you weren't so bad at pve (not to mention pvp), you'd know you can pull pets out of fear los.

The above hater's guilds (2) failed every time they tried Naggy, with 30-50 players on multiple attempts.

[Twopair]

12 monks with Tstaff pwned Venril Sathir
1 cleric solo'd Avatar of War

game over

[Motec]

I've done king in seb with ranger cleric, Mage cleric, sk cleric, warrior cleric, monk cleric. Reckon I could do chanter cleric fairly easily too if I came back.

Cleric solo: verix, fire giant, from seb to disco/chef etc.

Duo all of hs, seb except trak.

[Motec]

And trio ixiblat first week of epics. No Donals.

Duod ixiblat with Donals and a bit of relogging while debuffing/kiting.

Did 29 black reavers in a row duo.

Only thing I wish I solod that I didn't was a Mage epic pet. Did easily with DS pot though but meh to ds pots

[Handull]

So no, a druid didn't solo Drusella Sathir without first transforming himself to an enchanter. Loan me those puppet strings and I'll show you the first rogue to solo it...

get your own and try it, doubt it will work tho. if i had nothing better to do i'd go watch you get slaughtered, lol
