Rak'Ashiir [54 Wizard, City of Mist]: Mauricewhite [S*], Liia [S*-]

This list is in chronological order (both kills and players for each kill), so AFAIK the first people for each mob are server firsts. * = accomplished with prenerf invis pulling.

Rules
So I was inspired by Ploktor's thread to revive something I used to have on the Vesica Dei message boards, the solo artists challenge (originally I called it 'The Real Enchanter Epic'). I have compiled a list of all the 50+ named mobs in the game which I think could potentially be soloable or duoable, ranked them in order, and sorted them into six tiers. The ranking includes both the difficulty of the named mob itself and an adjustment for the number of guards, which is why Howling Stones is so much harder than Sebilis.

The categories, in descending order of awesomeness:
[S] -> Soloed with self buffs only
[S-] -> Soloed but used strong item clickies
[S*] -> Soloed without pull (or invis pulled)
[S*-] -> Soloed without pull and used strong item clickies
[D] -> Duoed
[D-] -> Duoed but used strong item clickies
[D*] -> Duoed without pull (or invis pulled)
[D*-] -> Duoed without pull and used strong item clickies
[T] -> Trioed

Strong item clickies include Puppet Strings, Donal's Breastplate of Mourning, Manastone, Soulfire, Reaper of the Dead, Woolly Spider Silk Nets, etc, but not shaman potions or stuff like a Shrunken Goblin Skull Earring. Use your judgement, and remember: solo is solo for the purposes of ranks, no matter what you items you use. Pull help is meant to compensate for removal of invis pulls; it doesn't seem fair to penalize people who started on the challenge afterwards. Pull help is only available for Solo God/Duo GM ranks and up, mainly because many of those would be obviously impossible otherwise. Use common sense regarding the amount of help you can get from other players and still consider it a solo kill. In general the idea is that you could zone in and kill the mob on your own. Outside buffs are not permitted for casters; melee can get as many buffs as they like as they are already at a considerable disadvantage. Any kill, even the lowly S*-, will count towards a rank.

Ranks
To complete a rank, you must kill 50% of the named on that rank, and that 50% must include names from all major areas (i.e. soloing the Sebilis Crypt itself does not make you a Solo Master, you have to do HS South too). Completion of prior ranks is not required. Solo kills will result in the title of of 'Solo Disciple/Master/Grandmaster'; likewise with duos. Killing everything on the list from Grandmaster on down will result in the title of 'Legend'. Achieving a solo rank implies the previous duo rank, since they are the same mobs (a Solo Master is automatically a Duo Disciple, since they could achieve the same results while powerleveling some noob).

Artists will be sorted by maximum solo/duo score, secondary solo/duo score, and time of achievement. I am also making a list of the first few kills of god-tier mobs by player name because I expect a few kills here and there but I doubt anyone can actually achieve God rank. If you feel like you have met the requirements for a rank or you have killed a god-tier mob, PM me or message me in game (Loraen/Sakuragi/Dramor) and I'll add you to the list at the top of the post. Screenshots are not required (we are on the honor system here, and its hard to think about taking pictures when some high level mob is beating on you for 200 a pop) but highly encouraged; it's always cool to read field reports of epic fights.

This is HARD
I think this is a pretty hard challenge, and even obtaining 'Disciple' rank probably puts you in the top 10% of skilled players on this server. Even if you are skilled, the logistics of popping all the named (especially in HS East) can be very obnoxious. Obtaining Legend rank is going to be way harder than getting an epic. If the sheet looks intimidating, feel free to just fill out the stuff you've killed, or just fill out Disciple rank at first, and then progress from there. I know that for me personally when I first started in Charasis I got my butt kicked in HS north; I gradually improved and now even South isn't too hard for me.

So far the list is mostly enchanters and shaman with a few necromancers. I think the Duo ranks are just as challenging and cool, plus you are killing harder stuff. We're still looking for magician - come on mage club!

For any Sky mob, you are allowed infinite Wizard ports which do not count against your player total

last list update: 8/21 added Rogue/Cleric epic mobs and Sky bosses. I am unsure about the whole Duo God mode list and may make changes later depending on how easy stuff is.

[Lazortag]

So I was inspired by Ploktor's thread to revive something I used to
have on the VD message boards, the solo artists challenge. I much
prefer small groups to soloing because its just more fun, but nothing
beats solo for challenge, especially since most of the good solo
classes aren't really challenged by raiding as their abilities would
be so strong that they are simply disabled. So I have compiled a list
of all the 50+ named mobs in the game which I think could potentially
be soloable, ranked them in order, and sorted them into four tiers.

The rules:
[S] -> Soloed with self buffs only
[I] -> Soloed but used strong item clickies, like Puppet Strings or Reaper of the Dead
[D] -> Duoed
[X] -> Duoed but used strong item clickies
[T] -> Trioed
[Z] -> I just like filling in boxes

To claim a rank, you have to kill 2/3 of the named on the list. We
are all on the honor system here but feel free to post screenshots or
tales of your epic exploits.

The tangrin isn't even on this list. Or is he in a special category for only the most elite players?

[Splorf22]

Hmm, I didn't think to include quest mobs. I'd rather not add them and cockblock people trying to do their epics though.

The tangrin is 54 right? So he'd probably belong on the 'Master' list, although outdoors makes things much easier. Bards are kind of in a class of their own solo wise.

[Metallikus]

why bother with the duo / trio stuff mucking up the rankings - too easy imo.

[Orruar]

You should also stipulate that the person(s) reached the mob solo/duo/whatever. In some cases, getting to the mob is most of the difficulty. Also, I forget his name, but you should add the withered leather tunic dropper in the hole.

[Hamahakki]

[ ] the froglok king [48 warrior]]


Frog king's a paladin

[LizardNecro]

I'll add my solo achievements (from Live)

- Solo every named mob in chardok outside of Royals castle.

You need non kos in chardok (a few hours in droga) to do this. I don't think this is possible until velious when they redo chardok to have static named spawns and phs (correct me if I'm wrong).

I was a necro when I did this, don't know if any other class can do it. Perhaps enchanter?

[azeth]

God mode:
[ ] Myconid Spore King [56 Paladin]
[ ] Phinigel Autropos [53 Wizard]
[ ] Korocust [61 Warrior]


These are the only three I think are impossible.

The only reason Phinigel would be a problem is the fact that he dispells, and no one pet class can chain summon fast enough.

[Orruar]

Well, you can enter duo or trio as options, so they're all doable.

I'd be amazed to see anyone solo any of these really. Perhaps Emp Chottal I can see happening. Neh and Rak, I dont think are super hard, but finding a proper pet might be. And Neh can be a bitch with her CHing and her enchanter pet...

So I was inspired by my own thread to go out and tackle east a bit. The above shot is from the little nook in East (12 on the map). You can also notice I forgot to swap out my cha gear for my hp/ac gear :D

Play by play: I started in the tunnel to the north, and calmed both roamers. Camped aggro, came in raptured the Undertaker lord, tash/slow/slow. Reraptured. Reraptured because the stupid roamer wouldn't come out. Began to glance at my mana pool. Calm had actually worn off at this point and he came out and jumped me; I hit him with mez/tash and charm while enjoying some Boil Blood courtesy of my big friend to the south. Hit the undertaker lord with rapture again, and sent in my pet. Charm broke instantly, I used my puppet strings, and after that just sat and kept him rooted. Thankfully I resisted Cascading Darkness and Invoke Fear.

Also, a note for fellow solo artists: that area is now much more dangerous. Before the aggro changes several months ago, the east/west roamer would not pull the adjacent room. Now, he does every time. I simply got lucky there. In fact I was interrupted halfway through my bragging text to ooc by having that room trained on me and capping out.

It took me four tries; the first time I did not have GRM up and spent the entire fight feared/stunned (root does not hold well on a L56 mob), fortunately Rkahor was in South to drag my mutilated corpse to a safe area. The second time I got tagged by the roamer and his crew, and the third time I was just utterly owned and capped out within a few seconds.

Edit: 9th November 2012.
Got a runner after slacking in Djarn's room = dead cleric and mage. Corpse retrieved and rez'd, going to hope for an actual efreeti pop this time though.

Edit: 16th November 2012.
Finally got Efreeti duo! Quite easy with earth pet buffed up, he resists root/stun a lot so pathed out of the room which made life a bit more interesting..
Spent about 3 hours in the hole getting to and camping Slizik the Mighty's ?spawn in the Jail. We had to gate in the end as were very close to oom after 2 mobs and then a further add immediately afterwards. Need to Split the 3 wandering mobs in the corridor better and start breaking them from full mana. Also the use of Earth rather than focused water pet may make this camp possible for pre epic mage/cleric duo.

Edit: 18th November 2012.
Ding level 60! - Did A Cliff Golem duo with Natcha, had about 5 mod rods on the ground and ate another 5 or 6 during the fight. Earth pet with full cleric buffs, mage DS and pet buff, complete heal for about 3.5k a time! Had 20m left over when he went down.

Edit: 18th November 2012.
Tranix was up for about 15 minutes and no one had zoned in to kill him which was strange. After eating a HT and dieing on the first pull, rezzed and re-buffed for second attempt. Went down without too much of a problem!
Skarlon poped soon after! So decided to down him whilst we where there. CoH pull went a bit wrong at the last. Had the wizard and Skarlon at the same time. rooted Skarlon away from the fight about 3 times while Natcha dealt with the wizard. Luckily her earth pet had resists buffed and only needed one celestial elixir for the wizard.

Edit: 12th April 2013.
Back on a stable internet and giving HS a go.
the Spectre Sepulcher down with no problems.
The Crypt Keeper down on second attempt. Cleared the room first time around and pulled him, but got room re-pops on low mana before we could down him. Second time we pulled him out to the corridor after a lucky run of calms inside the Keepers room.

Edit: 16th Jan 2014.
Just realised we must have killed about 15 Black Reavers to get Neh'Ashiir to pop. (now that was an interesting fight way back last year!)
Thinking back we managed to get just outside the hut and sit/agro the first reaver outside, we did about 3 before Natcha's pet got knocked off and we cause some havock positioning the reavers at entrance (sorry!).
We had the odd break inbetween reavers as they did not agro straight away and we were able to med up a bit more. Neh was a bitch though, slowed Natcha's pet and we could not get past the regen.
Thinking that a dot/disease based weapon given to the pet may negate the insane regen??


Elixa 60 Gnome Cleric with Natcha 60 High Elf Mage
<Europa>

[Splorf22]

Cleric/Mage is pretty strong, especially with that epic pet!

I think duos are more fun than soloing really, which is one of the reasons I expanded the challenge a bit.

[azeth]

I can't remember what the deal is with the PoD on P99. Killable or?

Dropping the priest on live (i forget which time period, but prob Kunark) solo was kind of an achievement.

[Lazortag]

I can't remember what the deal is with the PoD on P99. Killable or?

Dropping the priest on live (i forget which time period, but prob Kunark) solo was kind of an achievement.

I killed him solo as a Bard:

http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x413/itsnotrightnotright/EQ000312.jpg

My list of solo achievements (that I remember offhand) are PoD, Estrella, Black Dire, The Tangrin, Dark Assassin, a thunder spirit, and a fire giant (so nothing really that impressive, most of it was just tedious). I'm also fairly sure I can kill most of the "warmup" and "solo disciple" mobs, but as a Bard it's really difficult to kill any of the other mobs on the list.

If you could pull him solo, I think Phinny would be soloable with an epic mage if you had a bunch of Orbs corpse banked.

[Orruar]

After a fruitless stint in hand room of Karnor's, Orruar set off for the ruins of old Sebilis. Shortly after entering the city, he came across a group in the midst of a wipe. With the druid and only healer lost due to a dead link, the warrior in a berserk frenzy, and the enchanter running for the zone, our brave adventurer jumped into the fray like a boss and saved the day. Once the druid found his link, the shaman moved on to explore the city on his own.

After a rather lengthy plow to the disco, smiting frogs and scarabs alike, our adventurer found himself face to face with Gruplinort, the king of all dancing frogs. Unfortunately, Dr. Grupta was not alone. He was on the dance floor with two knights and a wizard (Don't ever tell me Grup can't swing with the best of them). After clearing a small area to give some room, the fight ensued. Grup's friends were all quickly rooted, with the wiz being rooted around a corner so as to neutralize his wicked spells. Gebartik the pup tanked Grup valiantly during this process, a distinction that would have earned him a treat if only he had survived the entire fight. Amazingly, even with 150 CR, Grup was able to land ice comets consistently for 600-800. Nonstop torpor managed to neutralize the damage, though it left little free hp for canni. Four minutes later, with Grup down at 20%, a jin wizard decided to show up and wreak havoc. With the shaman at 20% mana and 50% life, he had to act quickly to save himself. Gebartik was thus sacrificed, the jin rooted, Grup pulled around a corner, and then quickly finished off. The spoils of war included the Froglok Bonecaster's Robe (WTS).

[Splorf22]

I would also like to add, to whoever popped 3 bile golems right by the east nook, that I hope you spend an eternity with the torments of Beelzebub.

[Splorf22]

So Save and I were unable to tolerate a Crypt Excavator being up in East. That obnoxious sperm might think he was safe behind 3 bile golems, but no! This aggression would not stand. After a few tense moments (and some judicious use of the WC cap) we were able to remove these obnoxious live guardians. We decided to have some RoA fun and I ran in IVU to say 'hi' to our friend.

http://s18.postimage.org/fzxth21jr/EQ000005.png

Well it seems he had some friends of his own. But since all the live mobs were down (you can thank us later) it was easy to run back for round two. With a slightly more cautious pull:

http://s9.postimage.org/se9dsmsjh/EQ000009.png

And we finally beat him down although its amazing how much less damage the animations do (fortunately we had our 15 dps each with the RoA!)

http://s8.postimage.org/6evo70uwj/EQ000010.png

Sadly he didn't drop the helm, but the true reward is the journey, as Yoda always used to say.

Minor Updates added 9/13/12
-Got DS without rune AND without strings. Pulled with invis and ran quick, her cast didnt break invis and by the time her pet hit me she was out of range of adds. After malo i was able to keep her rooted while she dotted me up and wasted her mana. Melee she was an easy fight once slowed.. although she does have a proc of 230 or so lifetap.
-Mortiferous Protector was up in her room, i had ivu/invis from running in and was able to single pull him. Easy kill, kept the roaming add rooted during this fight. (this was prior to killing DS)
- Howlign Spectre: After an east clear I camped out and was able to solo this guy. Dropped horrible horrible loot.
- Crypt excavator: same as above except loot was ok.

minor update 12/6/12
- got estrella. No jbb which was no fun, but fairly easy to invis pull as she stopped to cast. Got some SS's, might put them up sometime, but they aren't too impressive.

Really impressive in my opinion, and the EQ gods saw fit to reward you with the truncheon too it seems :D Must have been pretty funny to see the zone spam of you getting summoned for 2 minutes straight. I wonder if it would be possible to get off a Robe of the Spring clicky between summons? Anyway, good luck with the challenge!

To be more clear, I don't expect anyone to try and duo Draco any time soon simply because no one wants to risk losing a BCG, and clearing fear duo is already quite impressive. And Duo God Mode is basically trio Grandmaster; I'm quite sure that two enchanters and a cleric could take him out, or SK/Rogue/Donals Cleric would probably work as well.

P.S. Stop shitting up my thread.

2 more mobs down on the solo grandmaster list: tranix and skarlon.

Skarlon fight was tough and happened a couple days ago. I cleared the way in. tranix was not up at the time. But Skarlon came with a fire giant wizzy and a fire giant warrior. I malosini'd/rooted the wizzy while my pet tanked skarlon and the warrior. Pet soon died, but not before skarlon was slowed. I malosini'd the warrior and charmed him with puppet strings =P. Skarlon went down shortly afterward. Dropped mith arms.

Today I did Tranix. Apparently he is cleared often, so his spawn was broken and I just sat nearby waiting (i had learned his pop time the following night). Got him solo and while it was a long fight he dropped very easy. Dropped crown.

Edit: Magi Rokyl down today as well. Easy fight, solo mob. Buffed resists to the hilt and wore resist gear. Did not seem to cast anything but magic nukes though, and I was expecting ice comet but it never happened.

Sorry Svenn, but I think I'm going to have to disallow Tranix/Rokyl under the 'help from other players' rules, even though you didn't get it explicitly. The reason the fire giants are hard is the adds which are both stun immune and belly casters making them very hard to CC. Tranix without his guards is just a L52 SK; I could probably chain pet him even. Similarly the reason Rokyll is so high on the GM list is the room of 4 fire giants you have to clear to get to him. Obviously they are both still difficult fights for peons but not for those attempting to breathe the lofty air of GM rank.

Granted the hardest part about getting the FGs is finding them up :D

[Splorf22]

wow, i'm gunna have to step up my solo game and knock out some of these targets. still proud of my solo(-) druid DS kill. Glad I helped inspire this thread, and I strive to be the best druid-enchanter i can be (someone sell me a bladestopper!)

the warm up stuff would be easy to do, just need to take the time to do it. i think the next best thing i could solo would be something Jeremy(?) put forth, and that's a druid soloing efreeti without strings. theres not much on here a druid can solo without clickies, but i'll do the best i can :)

I'll be sure to add you to the list as a Druid/Enchanter :D I'm kinda surprised we have more Druids working on this than Necros. Someone needs to get Necrious on this.

You don't have to do the warmups to qualify for Disciple rank; just two more kills. The pickler drops the Zealot's Sword/Seb Scale Coat/Cleric Bracer IIRC.

Roykyl is always solo bc there are no other mobs in his arena. I will do tranix again though.. The problem is people clear hi often and space him out from his adds... Last time he popped solo and his adds had not been up for the past hour. Had I not killed hi instantly someone else would have

Tranix is trivial to get solo, so I'm not sure we need any kind of restriction that you kill him with his guards up.

oh I am duo master. for sure.

Dartain done solo.. Very hard to get down to. He is also not an easy mob, got the book.

[Splorf22]

Grats Svenn, need some screenshots!

After some discussions I think I'm going to allow any Tranix/Rokyll kill since it seems possible to get them solo fairly easily anyway and the biggest problem is just finding them up.

I am also changing the requirements for GM level slightly. I wanted to require at least one mob that's hard for shamans and one mob that's hard for enchanters. Originally the 'hard-for-enchanters' mobs were the fire giants but I think its not as hard to get them solo as I thought it was, so I'm changing the requirements to 6 mobs including 1 HS east named (not Drusella who is easy to get solo) which is the hard part for the shamans and 1 one mob over L55 (Undertaker Lord or Cliff Golem) which is the hard part for the enchanters.

PS Gotta post your sheet Senim :D

wonder how people can even attempt to duo draco/maestro

maestro i can see happening. if he can be slowed, then any enc/dru/necro combo can probably do it. otherwise you'd need an enc/dru/necro/puppetstrings + cleric. there is a really small agro range in hate, and you get a nice long view of his area, so its easy to harmo/lull/etc the mobs around him to get him single. the hardest part is just getting the opportunity to attempt to duo him since he is a war epic mob.

obviously the wizard porting you wouldn't count, in my opinion.

[Fazlazen]

Maestro would pose more of a problem then Draco, I'm sure. Both can't be slowed.

[azeth]

Faz what's your thought on whether a duo of ENC could get from ZL -> Maestro, loot and scoot without dying?

Loraen's Fire Giant Adventure!

This thread is woefully lacking in screenshots, so I decided to take out some fire giants. Half of them were down when I got there, including (of course) Tranix, so I had to settle for Skarlon.

http://s15.postimage.org/ul8umb1bt/EQ000014.png

Yes, I single pulled him. It's not that hard with a bit of thought. After I got Skarlon, I went to go kill Rokyll. I was just about to tackle the obnoxious room of four, when I was suddenly attacked from behind. It turns out that the three giants behind had respawned, as well as the two in front of Tranix's room. I thought this was the cue for the King himself to make an appearance, so I went back and killed the two in front of the room. But the King did not appear, so I camped, cleaned out the other three, and began to med up a bit.

At this point Heallun showed up to check Ragefire and walked right into my ex pet. Unfortunately he lived . . .

http://s8.postimage.org/8jdttw8pf/EQ000019.png

So I went back to cleaning out nasty room of four. Heallun came by to check Ragefire and buffed me up, but sadly his peridot was wasted as I was forced to click off those buffs per the strict rules of engagement. He gated out for some silly thing he called a "raid", and I got down to business. I had to use the strings once, since it got kind of ugly:

http://s9.postimage.org/eqm1w8fyl/EQ000021.png

I was pleased to note that Rokyll was still up, so I prepared to charm his guard . . . . hmm, two guards? And what's up with the floating rapier?

http://s14.postimage.org/qsqrgffr3/EQ000023.png

Which left only one obstreperous giant, and he wasn't that hard:

http://s7.postimage.org/etllhd6ah/EQ000025.png

Was answering spell price questions too. Came back a few hours later and the big tuna himself was up . . . but not for long.

http://s16.postimage.org/c9d8j8loj/EQ000027.png

I actually did all three of them without using the strings, although I burned about 4-5 charges on their guards. Also, the fire giants are a lot easier now because you can root them - it totally changes the encounter, and I'm not even sure they deserve to be GM rank any more. I remember ~6 months ago root would never stick on any giants for any reason really.

And I pity the poor FG group at 8 PM, their monk is going to have to deal with 3-4 pets armed with dual whips.

[Fazlazen]

Faz what's your thought on whether a duo of ENC could get from ZL -> Maestro, loot and scoot without dying?

Chances are pretty low, because of the golems cant be calmed and see through invis, so unless one of the enchanters is a dark elf ( and under currently bugged conditions) I dont see it happening under full pop. BP cleric and a monk I can see doing or maybe sk bp cleric, but I'm not sure sk dps can outdo maestros lifetaps. This only applies to full pop scenarios many other duos could do maestro under an unpopped zone. Most obvious would be mage/bp cleric.

Draco I dont see happening with pets as tanks as feared pet = dead owner. I can think of a few duo that could do it tho.

[Orruar]

Whatever happened to killing mobs? Certainly a golem is easier to kill than maestro himself.

So I realized I was really close to GM status, and decided to pay the cliff golem a visit in OT. Really nice not to have to worry about spawning mobs and so on.

I mezzed the foreman, invised myself, and ran to the East golem because Save decided to weaponize the other one. I turned around and saw Rottgrime and the Marine crew. Deciding discretion was the better part of valor I hopped over to Warsliks and back for round two. This time I got the foreman solo, gave him two yaks and epic haste, slowed the cliff golem (he resisted about 2/3 slow spells after tash) and blurred and watched the fight. Things were going well until I missed the second reslow and the golem killed my pet with 10% hp left.

So I hit him with rapture, memmed my pet spell, equipped my Rod of Annihilation, and tanked him the rest of the way.

http://s14.postimage.org/w2th6dzsv/EQ000029.png

It seems I forgot to haste myself :eek: Sadly there is a dragoon in that picture and after he owned my pet I had to cap.

In other news, I'm adjusting the GM requirements. Any mob from HS south will do provided you pull it with your own spells, i.e. no rune (unless you happen to have a Bladestopper). This means Orruar and I both qualify for GM status. Hooray! I'm sure Svenn and Save won't be far behind.

Took my first shot at tolapumj today. Took me awhile to get him single, had a charmed pet on him with tash stick.. landed malo, then had 3 resists on slow. he owned me soon after that. Was really hoping slow would stick with tash + malo. I have a golem metal wand which I will be using on him next time around as soon as he gets in camp, and hopefully i get lucky and stick slow... that is my only plan. But I can at least confirm he is not easy. Hit in upper 200's and super high resists... I am hoping the golem wand dispells an MR buff or some shit.

Another issue with him is he super-slows your pet... This will be the biggest problem for chanties who try to solo him, he must be tanked or he neutralizes your dps.

From a Shaman perspective, I cannot rule him impossible to solo until i land slow. Will try this coming week

[Triangle]

DS down without Rune. It is mostly about luck, have to outrun her pet and hope she doesnt cast a long spell so that she is out of her room by the time your invis breaks. I believe that qualifies me for Grandmaster! more to come though, going to focus on godmode mobs next!

Will post some screenshots from this, although there aren't many, but at least 1 that proves I did not have rune before fight began

[Handull]

Loraen, if you're a solo GM, aren't you a duo master by default? (anyone could just stand there and watch you kill it and call it a duo). I realized I've duo'd crypt with Save before, though I can't remember which named we got to pop and which we didn't, but it almost feels like cheating to even list those, since he can solo them himself. Duoing just lets us kill more mobs and do it safer with less risk :P


Grats on DS without rune. Definitely a safer and more reliable method to rune pull tho, but watch out you are buffed maxed and she lands a spell on you.

I'll have to get my ass over to seb/KC this week, knock out disciple, and think about working on master. I'm pretty sure I could do the crypt, but the fact that they have to be spawned and the door has to be unlocked makes it a bit harder since i pretty much have to puppet string kill anything that summon. or i can just skip right for GM rank, since I have DS in the bag.

for the black reaver, you just have to kill him once, or kill the repops until he stops spawning on you? if you have to kill the pops, is it cheating to zone out between pops and come back in? thanks

also, I'm assuming it would be against the rules to log to another one of my toons, debuff a mob, then log back to my main to kill him? just trying to think of outside the box ways to kill things :)

Pics from DS w/out rune (these pics suck sadly, had a lot of charm breaks so very few pics).

Well I feel like solo and duo are separate things. I mean it shouldn't be hard for me to get the duo master title, but hey, you never know. I'd rather work on Duo GM :D

It's actually possible to kill the crypt named without strings as a druid I think based on Taelara's SS.

And finally I would say using two of your own characters is not really solo.

I'll have to think about that a bit. The method of rooting and taking hits when summoned works, but crypt is a bit harder than the armsman, no? Casters also make that a much harder thing to pull off. the robe clickie is a 12 sec cast time, dont most mobs summon on 8 second intervals? Could probably burn through the PH's that way, but i wouldn't think the named are that easy.

[Triangle]

Loraen and I just duo'd jumpy and protector! Jumpy was an easy fight as he can be raptured, so we got slow before the fight actually started so to speak... jumpy hit for 290, but slowed that is no biggie.

Protector on the other hand cannot be raptured, and he triples for 451! We had 2 charmed pets, and one of them died to him while we were trying to land slow.. Finally while the second pet was tanking, after the first one died, I landed slow. I then tanked him while loraen bedlam'd me and I torpor'd, we got him down. Loraen will likely update with screenshots.

Ton of fun.

[Triangle]

Tola:

Firstly we brought some pets down, gave them weapons etc. Then Loraen rune/bedlam'd me and I prox pulled Tola, as none of his guards saw invis but he did. The pull was a pain because he stopped to cast 3-4 times before he got to our camp.. Luckily I resisted 1-2 and the rune took care of the rest. Loraen then raptured him, I cast malo, he cast tash, and we both cast slow.. It took maybe 4-5 slows combined until it landed.

In the first pic, you can see that this is after rapture+slow had been done. I am tanking him and our 2 pets are beating him up.
http://s18.postimage.org/ro5qry1tz/EQ000031.png

The fight was relatively straightforward, our stun whips caused problems when charm broke, and I had to patch heal loraen a couple times as tola had tashed us both which caused the stun whips to land. Other than that though there were few problems on my end.

2nd pic you can see we beat him.. sadly I took no screenshots of this fight and I don't remember how much mana I had at the end, which is usually a gauge of how tough the fight was... Overall this fight was much easier than protector simply because rapture allowed us to slow him ahead of time and secondly because he hit for 290 which seems like a lot but is not so bad once slowed.
http://s12.postimage.org/dwh6twpuj/EQ000034.png

Edit: Tola dropped cap, mistletoe powder, and 60 necro banishment.

[Triangle]

Protector:

We cleared the jugg that paths with protector first, which ended up being a smart move as it allowed us to send pets directly on protector to initiate the fight.

Protector max hits for 451 and cannot be raptured. Secondly he resisted slows like mad... Anyway we sent our two pets in, I cast malo immediately and Loraen tashed soon after. We began to try to slow but I must have had 6-7 resists and Loraen must have had around the same amount. Loraen's pet had agro and I noticed it was at 10% life and protector was still unslowed. I stepped in to try and tank and got my ass beat, had to step out and let his pet die.

Luckily I landed slow very soon after his pet died, as my pet was at about 50% life. I stepped in to tank at this point, and allure only broke once which was very nice. Tanking him slowed was not trivial, but I basically chaincasted torpor and had my finger on puppet strings in case of break. Also I believe Loraen was casting bedlam on me during the fight.

1st pic shows Loraen's pet is dead and prot at less than half health. My pet had significantly less HP than it showed on Loraen's group screen, must not have registered with his client at that point.
http://s16.postimage.org/egz7kpkgz/EQ000037.png

2nd pic is my one and only SS. Shows protector's slain message. Also shows my mana is at 19% and my pet is at about 40%. You can confirm his max hit in this pic as well.
http://s10.postimage.org/tde70cbft/EQ000036.png

All in all the protector fight was extremely tough because we couldn't land slow... but it was very doable with 2 pets.

Edit: Protector dropped bracer and 60 mage banishment.

grats on the prot kill ! wow

[Triangle]

Tried to solo tola again tonight. I finally got him slowed! Got him to about 60% but he managed to get a nice spurt of damage with his nukes/melee and take me out. Had a great pet as well, I think i can do him honestly, but I will have to have luck on my side. Need a couple days break from him before another attempt I think =P

Also next time I will try to stack MR a bit more. His nukes were what through me off, hard to keep up with the dps if you can't resist his stuff

All I can remember doing.

[Splorf22]

Should add Ragefire to the last bracket. Its been duo'd

Well Ragefire is kind of a pain to spawn I think, but I'm going to go ahead and add him since it won't change the requirements for God level.

All I can remember doing.

Grats Stealin, Duo Grandmaster!

I'm loving the list and this concept. Something new and fun to do with the game atm. If any 60 clerics or 60 shamans want to try some of the duo master or grandmaster targets with me hit me up in game on Flippie =) Willing to bet with a trak BP cleric or torpor shaman we could do some Chardok royalty too.. finding Draco or Maestro up is going to be a different story altogether.

Grats Flippie, Duo Master and Solo Disciple!

Pretty sick for a melee. I think you might be able to get solo GM as well; you can surely take out the fire giants solo and then its just a matter of getting an East named, and they aren't harder than the crypt named really, if you can get a split (pretty sure I have a strat for you that would work, hit me up in game some time and we can chat).

I PMed both Ambrotos and Sirken about adding some prizes or titles for this challenge and they both ignored me. But maybe they would be willing to spawn Draco/Maestro without items.

Right now the artist list is mostly Enchanters and Shaman (s?) so I'd love to see some more people give this stuff a shot. I'd be real curious to see if a Donals cleric and a warrior or monk with sick gear could take out the Protector.

P.S. MOAR SCREENSHOTS

Also I had one more idea - I'm going to add a list of godmode kills, starting with Sentenza/Elethia for Ragefire.

[KentalCowtipper]

I'm 100% positive a Donals Cleric or 60 Torpor Shaman could take out Tola with me at least; quite possible Prot too. Would be interesting to see.
Thanks again for coming up with this and posting it =) Its a fun and interesting diversion until Velious hits.

[Spitty]

I'd take that Pepsi challenge as a 60 shaman with Torpor.

[Handull]

Two more mobs to consider adding to the list:
Verix Kylongs Remains (KC). Not a hard duo, but can be a tricky solo with his slows, the CC around him, etc.
Ixiblat (BW) w/ and w/o Cloak of Flames. From what I remember seeing, his hit rate is effected by the worn haste, so the distinction is pretty important.

Just stuff I thought of.

EDIT: also, could consider adding mobs from posky, but that might be a whole nother can of worms

[Triangle]

Thought I would try neh ashir tonight. Got to her hut and pulled the reaver after preparing a pet. Had to run through 2 reavers this time, and they each hit for 190... it was a close fight. Luckily Neh ashir popped right after and she is is not KOS. I camped out my pet's agro.

Then I came back and got ready. Neh seemed to be going fine until she CH'd. She seemed to CH twice and by that time i was low on mana and had to back out a bunch to heal. By that time my pet was nearly dead. She landed a lucky nuke (I had resisted most of her nukes thus far) and I was forced to back out and heal. My pet almost made it but died... She was at 36% and seemed out of mana, so I almost had her. Was very frustating but at least I managed to cap instead of dying. Might try this one again tomorrow as it seems quite possible.

[Splorf22]

Hey Ploktor, I'm definitely not adding Verix; he's easier than an Ilis Shaman and is a total PITA to spawn. Ixiblat is a good idea although also kind of a pain to spawn but easier than Ragefire IIRC. Duo God Mode is a bit short IMO, I'd like to have 10 mobs perhaps like Solo God Mode.

Nice job Svenn; two reavers is probably about average. I think most of the god mode fights are possible with good gear and luck, but they aren't just going to be walk up and pwn.

Poll: do people want me to add their guild tag at the top?

Poll2: do people want to add Sky bosses to the list? Most of them are impossible with DTs; we could consider the princess, the protector, Gorgalosk, Noble Dojorn and the Spiroc Guardian.

I don't like this of course as sky is like Velious prep for enchanters: everything is straight up immune to all our stuff :D

Ixi has a very high regen rate, so do all the royal mobs. I don't think that they could be duoed, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

I want to try and snipe draco soonish !! TMO beware !

[Extunarian]

You can add anthrax and lacie to those that have duo'd ragefire.

Boring as hell to watch.

[Handull]

ixi isn't hard to spawn. get an EB item, run to lake rathe, camp a mob there (easy solo), do a turn in there, CC one mob, kill another, clear agro on the mob you CC'd, do a turn in, head to sol ro temple for a turn in and kill (can probably solo it, if not duo easily), camp a low level mob in sola, throw in a few trips to TD, and you can spawn him....okay, sounds annoying, but it beats a 3 day repop +- 24 hours :P

I thought verix would be harder than most of the 51-53 melee named in seb, but thats just me. he can be a pain to spawn tho.

dojorn could be added, since hes easy to get to, and would be impressive to duo, i'd say. spiroc guardian+break would be a hard duo, might be a good idea. princess is an easy duo, an okay solo. gorg has been trio'd, might be good for a god mode duo. protector is just a pain to spawn and CC his buddies, but could be included i guess, the actual kill shouldn't be too hard if you can get him. mez works on some sky mobs, just charm is broken on some/most of it i think.

doesn't matter to me if guild tags are included.

[bizzum]

Princess is probably an easy duo in sky. I know Princess, Prot, and Gorg were already trio'd, I dont know if the people who did it would think they could as a duo--I know they switched out characters to do like isle 2 kiting and other random stuff like that.

All in all you could probably add them, but it'd be kind of a giant PITA to do protector just because of the way isle 2 is.

[Triangle]

I would like you to add some sky mobs, whatever does not DT I suppose. I plan to try the princess soon

zoned into KC and there was construct. they are all puppet string kills, but hey i work with what i have. would you consider midnight mallet a strong item click? its very powerful, but its also much more common/easier to get than strings or a bladestopper.

[Writ3r]

No General V'Ghera on the list?!?

[Splorf22]

OK I have made a few changes to the list of Duo God mode mobs. I may make changes later; Ragefire actually sounds like he isn't so bad. If people are rocking the God Mode encounters I may have to demote them to GM :D

Also, grats Ploktor Solo Disciple! I would say the mallet is a strong item clicky. I don't view S- as 'this is what you can do without tons of cash' but rather 'this is what you can do without the broken EQ item recharge system'.

[Handull]

i get all my mallets from that ugly troll, though i've been thinking about stopping doing that out of convenience. i don't care either way, just curious what you'd consider it. the mallet is a game changer for me, will pretty much have to use it on certain mobs and hope it lands, otherwise i'm running/gating/capping. got my eye on the FGs next, probably roykll first.

think spiroc guardian is a druid, i'm envious of his little bear pet

got lucky with the mobs set up and landed this:
[S-] Embalming Fluid [52 Warrior, HS South]
pulled with bladestopper, but didn't use strings or mallet, i'm pretty happy with that :P

[Handull]

well, just had three wipes at crypt keeper. learned a lot and know how to deal with that massive room of mobs now. nearly had him, frantically charming mobs while oom, but his pet kept me standing and i couldn't reroot. all the while nordenwatch was sitting there with a charmed pet, waiting for me to give him the signal to help out. finally at 2%hp, 1% mana i said help....then i died, haha. going to try again another time with some banked resist gear. he's goin down!

[KentalCowtipper]

I want to try and snipe draco soonish !! TMO beware !

Faz - Des and I were discussing the possibilities - what if you got a warrior with the 51 dmg VP 2hb; get him beserker mode. You then get a mob that spam hits really, really fast - like VS. If you popped riposte disc while beserker and the cleric CE'd on engage + spam patched I would imagine 18k could be done in the 12 seconds of the riposte disc as the max cripling blow is 1141 on Blackstone. Think how fast VS spams :)

Call me crazy but I think a 2 man VS is possible; 3 at the worst with 2 clerics + riposte war.

[Triangle]

That is an interesting theory about VS, but hard to put it into practice on such a contested mob though.

[Splorf22]

Neh'Ashiir was still up from Svenn's last attempt so we went and duoed her. She wasn't that hard with two charmed pets. Svenn had some other things to do, but he helped me kill the black reavers so I could get a solo shot.

I killed the mob that paths around her tower and prepped up with three tashed/hasted/dualwielding/rooted pets:

http://s14.postimage.org/g9rlinblr/EQ000039.png

There are two more behind me; I got everything except the static one next to the door. Rooted her pet and the battle was on. She casts like 10 enchanter buffs on herself including 63% haste so the the most important thing was dispelling her:

http://s17.postimage.org/jkta4gwi5/EQ000040.png

After the first pet died Neh was on me and even though I had given pet #2 stun whips it took quite a while to get aggro, so I burned a lot of runes and hp and had to cap. I realized it was dumb to try and chain pet without memblur, so I went back to try again (with my sexy new Loam Encrusted Robe for good luck).

There was a bit of idiocy involved in aggroing the black reaver, but on the second attempt I again rooted Neh's pet, and she tried to cast a spell on me while she was floating over the crack between her tower and the adjacent one . . . needless to say she fell off, and pathed all the way back. Fortunately she is on a different faction or that would have been a huge train.

The fight went quite similarly to the first one, except that I memblurred between pets. My strategy was to try to suck out/blow up her mana . . . either this is impossible or she has an unbelievable amount. You can see that she was at 5% and still casting.

So that is 3200 mana from Mana Sieve and Mana Tap, plus 2000 mana from spells I resisted, and that's not counting what she cast on the various pets. So either her mana regen is insane or she has like 7500 mana. The end was something of an anticlimax. I tried to rapture her to stop the CH (resist) but the wraith simply interrupted her 4x in a row. Just dumb luck really.

Would be tight kental, but sounds doable =p

Now, watch enrage !

[phobus]

I killed the mob that paths around her tower and prepped up with three tashed/hasted/dualwielding/rooted pets:

You might want to try singling out any greater war bones you come across to keep as pets. They can triple attack and are quite a bit nastier than the plaguebones, wraiths, etc.

Was fun watching you guys from my solo spot down at the goo ramps. :)

[Handull]

dropped magi and tranix last night in solb! the four-room wasn't up, oddly, but I know I can get past it if it is up, and I will do just that as soon as I can. I tried for the trifecta, but with only one charge left on my strings (started with 5), I had to play things very carefully. It took forever to re-tash my pet, then I finally tried the pull. I started by rooting the pather and one mob left in tranix's room, that went fine. then i pulled the war, wiz, and skarlon out, and even tho I got them all separated and rooted, my pet was fixated on killing the regular FG in the bunch. couldn't keep skarlon rooted for long, and i was a goner without my pet tanking him :( was a good run though, and Ill try it again some other time with 10 charges

[Triangle]

Was trying to get neh`ashiir to pop again today and for what its worth, I had 3 black reavers pop in a row and was able to take out all 4 (the fourth includes the one that spawns normally. Pretty straightforward, i would tank most of the time and just chain torpor. Chaining torpor doesnt work entirely well so I would back out at times and heal up. At the end of the 4th one thank god Neh`ashiir popped as I was down to 15% mana and my pet was down to 20% hp.

[Triangle]

Neh Ashiir down solo! Crazy fight. I camped out after my black reaver escapade and regenned mana and let the pet regen. I recleared the mobs, med up, and most importantly hasted myself and gave myself as high of MR as possible.. Hasting myself was important because it allows me to bash 2x every time she CHs instead of once.

So i charmed my pet and thank goodness he lasted the whole fight because I only had 2 string charges left to .

Began the fight by hasting my pet and pulling neh by rooting her pet. While my pet tanked to begin with I dispelled her 6 times because she hastes herself but not before she casts a ton of other crap. I then jumped in to tank and torpor. Brought Neh down to 30% and began to bash like crazy as she CH'd herself. She landed a CH at about 20-25%. However I had plenty of mana and my pet was holding, so i just worked at it again, had to re-root her pet. Next time she was at 40 she began to CH and i got quite lucky with some bashes as well as some timely pet interrupts when bashes didn't land.

I will conclude that this fight is mostly about luck, she seems to have infinite mana, as during my prior attempts I used 3 different charmed pets and must have held her out for 15 minutes, but really the only way to do it is to interrupt her from 40% downward.

Pics to follow in next post.

[Triangle]

1st SS: this was before the first CH landed. as you can see ive got a lot of mana, the CH landed soon after this.
http://s11.postimage.org/6cegh0vtf/EQ000056.png

2nd SS: CH landed and at the point it did I didn't think I would succeed, but I took this SS because I had gotten her down to about 60% again and thought there was a ray of hope lol. As you can see here my mana is a bunch lower than previously
http://s15.postimage.org/9ygvlquu3/EQ000057.png

3rd SS: this is when I really thought I had her so i hammered the SS button obviously =P. You can see she is trying to cast CH again.
http://s10.postimage.org/rw35s6nnd/EQ000060.png

4th SS: done. Loots were the woodsman staff and conjure corpse. You can see my mana was somewhat low, but I had plenty of hp and pet had plenty as well... like i said its all about luck on the interrupts.

[Orruar]

So I ran to CoM this morning to see just how tough Neh is. Here are screenshots of the calm before the storm and then the aftermath. Thanks for leaving the pet with daggers sitting around, saved me the trouble of going back to town. She never got a CH off, and honestly I don't think it would have been an issue if she did get a few off... With resisting most of her spells, I feel like I could have fought her forever. My mana is about 40% lower than it would have been due to seeing if I could land a couple dots on her.

Nice job guys. Shaman with puppet strings are just so tough; we enchanters can't handle these fights that go on for 15 minutes.

Should we keep Neh on the god list or demote to GM?

I think you should disallow puppet strings kills, but that just me.

I agree. Gratz on the kill guys. Very nice.

Asher

[Splorf22]

Well this is why I had the S- category because I do think using the strong clickies takes away from things a bit. I don't remember all of this item recharging in classic EQ; I played a mage and I don't think I ever had a WC cap for example. I certainly didn't carry around 10 woolly spider nets.

You can also criticize the shaman but the strings are almost as good for enchanters because anything over L55 can't be stunned or mezzed without rapture so instant recharm is exceedingly valuable. My guess is that everything on the GM list is doable for enchanters without puppet strings just by getting lucky with charm durations, and I'll have to give the cliff golem a shot some time without them (i got him without any string charges since charm didn't break), but realistically hasted pets + uber mobs blow through my HP so fast that without being able to stun/ae mez any breaks are going to be really painful.

I think ultimately the God tier mobs are just so hard (if I had to guess, I would say that Verant intended the area around Trak's lair to be a miniraid of 2-3 groups. I remember organizing Fire Giant raids in classic and I usually wanted at least 2 full groups) that any kills are going to have to rely on this semi-exploit type stuff.

Edit: I updated the order so that Neh'Ashiir is now the easiest God-tier mob.

[Orruar]

Its not a shaman killing those mobs. I'm sorry.

You're right, I'm an oracle.

[Orruar]

We should update the rules such that you must be completely naked and use nothing but fists to kill mobs.

[KentalCowtipper]

We should update the rules such that you must be completely naked and use nothing but fists to kill mobs.

Hrm.. I wonder if I could still manage a mob or two off the easiest list on flippie naked :D

[azeth]

We should update the rules such that you must be completely naked and use nothing but fists to kill mobs.

Eh I don't know how far you can push this arguement Orruar. Faz in no way suggested anything other than Puppet Strings be disallowed.

I think that's a good call. using puppet strings has absolutely nothing to do with using your class to drop these mobs. for all intents and purposes with enough puppet strings a trio could likely drop most non DTing mobs if there's enough trash around to charm.

[Fazlazen]

I can go farther than that. Puppet strings, bladestopper, soulfire should all be dissalowed. For example, Bladestopper allows you pulls you should not be able to do as a shaman. It also adds more than 3k hp to your total during a fight. Soulfire is 5 CHs.

Puppet strings is just the worse. You are a shaman who kills mobs like if he were an enchanter.

I stand by my reasoning: Those kills were not done by a shaman.

[Orruar]

Can a shaman do the soulfire quest?

[Orruar]

Bladestopper allows you pulls you should not be able to do as a shaman.

I know exactly what you're thinking of here, and I did Drusella with no puppet strings and no Bladestopper. Shamans get this awesome spell called Spirit of Wolf, which works just fine. Oh, I did use IVU pots to get to her, which I suppose you also must have a problem with.

I'm not sure what pulls Bladestopper is going to allow me to do that I couldn't do without. Tola's nukes are bigger than a Rune IV, so it would be unlikely to make a difference on that.

Since you are such a purist, I fully expect you to never use a sow potion (or else you become a shaman) or a WC cap (or else that makes you a druid).

[Triangle]

Of course Orruar comes in right after me and makes Neh`ashiir look easy lol.

[azeth]

Since you are such a purist, I fully expect you to never use a sow potion (or else you become a shaman) or a WC cap (or else that makes you a druid).

Neither SoW nor the WC port cap have really anything to do with any class' ability to solo that list of mobs.

SoW - only beneficial to kiting classes, all of whom can SoW or better.

WC port cap - doesn't help you kill, only bail.

I don't see how disallowing Bladestopper (10 charges of 4k HP Rune), Puppet Strings (charm), and Soulfire (5 CHs) is whatsoever problematic.

All of these effects are "game breaking" in terms of the solo game.

I don't need to use a sow pot, I have a sow sword :D ! Still, lol at your puppet string kills. Not shaman kills.

[Splorf22]

I really don't see what the problem is Faz. If you want to be a purist, you can ignore anything S-. I'll edit the God-mode kills list to reflect this.

It should be remembered that this competition is just for fun. We receive no real benefit to completing even the hardest kills. It is just a competition to push ourselves to see what our max is for solo/duo potential.

With that said, the rule lawyers have already ruined the raid scene, and I don't mean to be rude but I think I speak for everyone when I say you are not welcome to come and rule lawyer for us soloists/duoists at the same time!

[azeth]

Exactly why those items should be disallowed. In no way does the use of those 3 acknowledge the spirit of the "competition".

If i log my rogue in, pop puppet strings and soulfire and complete the Grandmaster list - am i really a solo grandmaster? let's get real here

I don't think a rogue can pull it off actually. It would be a nice accomplishment if one could though.

[Orruar]

Shaman charming mobs to do those, although impressive, are not shaman kills. That duo of protector truely impressed me, especially since I've seen countless times 1 group and even 2 groups wipe to those, but they are not true duo kills. I can't give you that. Still impressive.

As for your comment Orruar, I play a SK nowadays, I have about 2900 hps. I could probably solo Neh'Ashir too. 2900 hps x5 (soulfire) + that CH stick from the thex mallet quest = 17 400 hps.

Now lets add a bladestopper. 10 x 394 hps = 3940 hps.

So I am now a Shadow knight, who started with 2900 hps, but in reality has 21 340 hps (exagerating because I probably wouldnt get the full benifit of all CH). Lets make it 20 000 hps. I'm now a raid target !

Why don't we go farther ? Let me add in a fully charged puppet strings, so that I can more than triple my DPS.

Legit solo kills ? To me, no, to you, maybe. You are as entitled to your opinion as I am, no need to get on your high horse because I question the validity of your so called Oracle kills !

[azeth]

I don't think a rogue can pull it off actually. It would be a nice accomplishment if one could though.

Lol there's the rub tho, no no it wouldn't be a nice accomplishment. Because it has absolutely nothing to do with playing a rogue.

[Messianic]

If you use puppet strings, the competition is no longer about a class or a set of classes beating a particular mob. It's about who can use puppet strings better because they are so much more a factor than anything else.

It's similar to why blood doping is banned for the tour de france and a list of drugs are banned from the olympics - those substances become critical for competing at all if they're allowed and it ruins the spirit of the competition.

But if people want to use puppet strings, NBD, they should just disclose that because it changes the nature of their success; but it should also be understood that even doing some of these with puppet strings is a horrendous task.

[azeth]

but it should also be understood that even doing some of these with puppet strings is a horrendous task.

Indeed, well said.

[Triangle]

You guys can attempt to trivialize this all day, but I don't see for what reason other than to discourage the competition from continuing. Like I said we don't get any benefit from this outside of posting in this very thread except in having fun. I will say that I have had more fun doing this than any raiding. It is easy to throw 60 people at a mob with 32k and win. I might cast one spell during such a fight and it involves no skill on my behalf.

I will still try to push the envelope and see what other mobs can be done! What makes a legitimate kill anyway? As far as I am concerned the word legitimate encompasses just about everything within the game with the exception of exploits. We merely describe how the kill happened, and items of great power are reflected in our explanations.

[Triangle]

I agree with you Messianic. We should and do disclose that our kills included the use of puppet strings.

Secondly it needs to be understood that at this point some of us are attempting mobs that could not possible be done without the use of puppet strings. Still is fun though.

[azeth]

Still is fun though.

It is fun for you guys, I don't at all mean to shit the thread up but I just wholeheartedly agree w/ Faz.

[Splorf22]

You can draw all sorts of analogies to the world of sports. For example, you have world records in swimming with swimmers in textile suits or swimmers in modern suits. You have powerlifters who have two competition categories: 'raw' and 'normal'. Normal allows stiff suits and knee wraps which add 300+ lbs to the bench press and squat.

I saw all this coming from the beginning which is why I established the two categories of S or 'raw' and S- or 'normal'. I think they are both reasonable rule sets, and I think that doing mobs without clickies is more impressive, but I think its also cool to push the limits of what can be done with them. I got owned by Chottal last night despite my puppet strings :D

Also I would be quite impressed if a Rogue can achieve GM even with Puppet Strings. The reason the strings are so strong for enchanters and shaman is that we can haste the pet and slow the opponent, and suddenly a L50 pet can kill a L55-56 mob. Not to mention that (except for the current hide/cast exploit) there is no way to get the boss mobs solo for a Rogue. I know Ploktor in particular is the ultimate 'Honorary Enchanter' in terms of Bladestopper and Strings but personally I find it cool that he can push the boundaries of the class.

TL;DR: I have S and S- if you don't like puppet strings.

edit: I did decide to revive the D- category, because lets face it makes a big difference when Svenn and I have two pets instead of one.

It is fun for you guys, I don't at all mean to shit the thread up but I just wholeheartedly agree w/ Faz.

And yet you come here and shit up the thread anyway. But since you didn't mean to, we should give you a pass?

The competition includes distinguishing between kills done with and without the use of such high powered items, so it's not like we're even trying to hide the fact that we use such items. If all you're here to do is to argue over the meaning of "S-", then I submit that you need to find a new way to spend your cornucopia of free time.

If you don't like the rules of this competition, make your own competition where use of puppet strings is banned. Or just continue shitting up this thread because that is what people like you do for fun.

[KentalCowtipper]

God Mode Kills (no clickies, S/D)
Zordakalicus Ragefire [54 Warrior, Nagafen's Lair]: Sentenza/Elethia, Anthrax/Lacie


Im sitting here reading the discussion about game changing clickies and duoing when it hit me - the most game changing clicky is either Puppet String or Donals BP - its debatable. In Faz's 20k SK scenario he linked together 3 items in order to get 20k worth of HP.

Donals BP = 20million HP if you wanted. Infinite Healing thats mana free. Theres a damn good reason its nerfed shortly into Velious.

With a clicky this powerful shouldnt it also count as clicky use for the purpose of these duos?

[Splorf22]

The difference is that Donal's isn't rechargeable. So its something that could (and probably was) going on in Kunark, hence the nerf. But I agree that the strings and the donals BP are the two strongest clickies in the game.

Poll: count donal's BP as a strong clicky?

[Orruar]

Nah, it's a 20 sec cast, so it's very limited vs the really hard mobs.

[Triangle]

I dunno, if we are taking a straight poll then I say count it. its a clicky afterall. and Kental is right its insanely powerful.

[Autotune]

It is by far the strongest click in the game, when applicable.

100% reliable compared to puppet strings.

If you had a cleric with the DS arms, puppet strings and donals, he might be able to solo ragefire with a LDC lol.

[Handull]

its been said, but seriously, there is no point to shit up this thread. no one is trying to hide their use of puppet strings or any other clickies. for encs, strings mostly make soloing safer. for shaman, they add some dps in the right situation. for other classes, they are crazy OP, but its how you combine them with your class that matters. if you think my solo kill of drusella had nothing to do with chain rooting her and nuke/dotting her for over 6k damage, then you are crazy. you could hope to get lucky as a rogue and let the pet do all the work, but then you are stepping more and more into luck territory, and any charm break will be an almost instant death.

i am very curious as to what a druid can solo without these clickies, but the list is very unimpressive. 99% of non-summoning mobs are a piece of cake, and most summoning mobs are nearly impossible.

this is a great thread and a great challenge for anyone who is looking for something new in an old game.

i for one seriously thought i was one of the best solo'ers out there, but after this thread i realize there are a lot of places to push my limits and a lot of people who can do more than i can. i've already achieved new things. hell, I thought it was impossible to solo tranix as a druid, even with strings, but I proved that wrong. is it unfair that i don't have all the best VP gear and epic? sure, you could argue that. full VP gear + epic would add over 200hp to my toon plus a ton of resists, and i'm sure some mana too. all that would make these fights much easier (EDIT: just like strings or other clickies make fights easier).



just thought of a mob that could be added to the list: Eejag (lavastorm). its an epic mob, but its triggered by text only, so its very easy to spawn and there is no competition for him. the mob is hard because 1) cannot be pulled out of the lava, 2) summons, 3) there isn't much in the zone to charm (maybe the merchant?), 4) he is nearly 100% immune to spells. gwan and trunt could be added to that, but dont have to be. just tossing it out there. <3 the thread :P

[Splorf22]

OK after some consideration I have added the Donal's BP to the list of clickies. It's just so strong; there is a reason it was nerfed and fairly quickly I believe on live. I imagine this is the opposite result that Fazlazen intended :D

I have also revived the D- category and changed my sheet accordingly.

Finally I checked Ploktor's impressive kills again and Getsome claims to have done Maestro Duo (two clerics with strings) and Motec claims to have done Ixiblat duo. If you guys post on this thread with details I'll add you to the god mode list.

This leaves us with no one doing god mode without the clickies which I think feels about right.

[ ] Slizik the Mighty [54 Warrior, The Hole]

Are we sure this guy spawns on this server? Been farming the ph for quite a while now and no sign.

Even had to kill the SK epic mob that spawns in his place sometimes, and that thing was a beast. Hit for 310 with moderately high resists. Nothing a rogue couldn't solo easily though.

[Splorf22]

I fought him once months ago. I got a charm break, it turns out he is immune to stun, and I wiped. That was the only time I've ever seen him though. MQEmulator says he should be pretty common so perhaps his spawn rate needs to be tweaked, IDK.

[Orruar]

He finally popped. Only like 15 PH or so.

[Orruar]

Here are some pics of the Slizik fight. He himself wasn't so bad, but as I was using regular pet, and there are many mobs in the area, I was getting very close to having several repops on me while fighting him. Also had some issues getting him slowed, but once that was complete, he dropped pretty easily. I kept a rat rooted nearby in case I needed to use strings, but that didn't become necessary. Not the most difficult of solo encounters. I'm sure even a rogue could solo him just fine.

Hooray for Orruar with screenshots!

[Orruar]

Finally found Knight of Sathir up, which completes my Disciple list.

[Triangle]

Korocust duo'd by loraen and I. Surprisingly harder than it seems, he blinds constantly and it seems unresistable. Also his regen is nuts.

In the end we got him down. I should have SS's of this tomorrow.

[Triangle]

The Korocust fight was quite frustrating actually. We wiped to him twice before. The first wipe was when we tried to rapture him, but he is not rapturable. The second wipe I was getting blinded too often and we pushed him into his pit area and got adds.

The fight where we succeeded, we pulled him all the way back to a safe spot to give us more room. At the safe spot we had 2 mobs setup to charm waiting for us. Slowing a lvl 61 mob isn't easy, and by the time we got it done I think both pets were around the 30% mark (I backed mine off and let his get agro around then). Once he was slow it basically involved me tanking and casting cure blind on myself. Loraen cast Bedlam a couple times. Koro's dps was surprising, maybe he was still hasted.

1st SS: You can see that this is a terrible screen, but I was blind for most of the fight =P. He is at 61% here and our pets are low, but I have plenty of mana to tank with.
http://s15.postimage.org/ekegrjzob/EQ000067.png

One of the worst things that could have happened was for me to be blind when my allure broke. Koro's blind seemed to last full duration and it was never resisted, so I had to cure blind everytime it hit. That is part of the reason why I don't have many SS's.

2nd SS: You can't see Koro at all here because I am basically right on top of him because there are mobs behind us. But you can see that he is at 6% and I have plenty of mana. Did not have to reslow him so the fight seemed to take 5-6 minutes. It seemed like a lot longer of a fight though becuase of his regen.
http://s9.postimage.org/ohebp5d9r/EQ000068.png

[Handull]

Grats on Koro! its crazy that you can last through a fight that long.

I just dropped Brogg and got my lvl 1 ranger a shiny new wrist to wear. The fight was insanely easy. I could have ended it with about 80m, but chose to nuke him a bit to speed things up. Ended up saving me a string charge, as the pet broke right after the fight. Still a long was from master/gm rank, but getting there.

[Triangle]

So I got emperor chottal to 30% tonight solo, had 2 attempts on him, first attempt got him to 40%, second to 30%. He is hard as nails but I will modify my strat for next time.. likely tomorrow or the next day. Certainly can't do 2 pets, will have to stick with one.. Secondly I will buy a greater null potion or whatever that is for +MR. I also need another tash stick.. so ya, won't be easy but i think it is possible. May have to use CH stick as well =P. Oh boy, clicky master is more like it than solo master lol

[Handull]

a black reaver down! LOTS of set up work for that kill, ended up clearing the pathers out twice since I wasn't ready by the second repop. the fight went smoothly enough, he resisted two nukes, so i just focused on healing, which landed for about 10% each cast. ended the fight with 60-70m, pet at 40hp. my hasted pet seemed to easily out dps the reaver, especially with damage shield and duel wielding. nothing on the reaver, but ghiosk popped after the first one. only had one charge left, so i tried to take ghiosk as I was. healed the pet a bit, was at 50m with pet around 60hp. pet died with ghiosk around 18% and myself nearly oom. i tried to charm a goo with my last click, but couldn't get agro to transfer to ghiosk. he resisted root a number of times, resisted my 53 magic dot, and mitigated my fire nuke down to 300. probably would have got him if i saved all that mana for heals, but oh well, hes only holding the throneblade at the moment and hes not on the list anyway. managed to gate before dying, so that was a plus.

also tried yesterday, but was just edged out for the reaver on the first floor. went for a reaver up the lift, but while clearing the two non reavers i got distracted and missed a harmo on reaver, and he agro'd, so i had to gate and give up.

fun times!

So seeing as how Svenn had generously popped Emperor Chottal, I decided to give him a whirl.

Round 1: Tried to gnomecheat through the door when the Blood of Chottal was up, got quadded a bunch of times for 160 each and capped.

Round 2: Pulled out the stupid blood and killed him (had to rune my pet twice). Sent in a skeletal guardian and got horrible charm breaks and pyrocuored and I forgot to empty my top slot, so I clicked off all my buffs, cancelled pyrocuor, and camped out. My pet actually died with 4 seconds left, but chottal couldn't summon me because he'd summoned my pet recently :D

Round 3: Sent in the EB, it did OK but not really that well. After it died I stringsed a skeletal guard, but charm broke fast and I died. Had him down to 80% or so.

Round 4: After CR, killed two of his guards and the duke in an attempt to clean up the room a bit. My plan was to rapture chottal and have my pet beat his down quickly while I got some slow attempts. It turns out Chottal is immune to rapture. I just capped in disgust.

So, for those keeping score, Chottal is kind of a badass. I asked Ambrotos to check his mana, and he has 9000 or so in addition to the 18000 hp according to macroquest. Pretty crazy.

Also for aspiring enchanters, the solo god mode mobs known to be immune to rapture are the Sebilite Protector, Chottal, and Korocust, while Tolapumj and the Spore king are not. I think Neh might be immune as well, and I haven't tried Rak, Phinigel, the Fear golems, or the Protector of Sky.

[Splorf22]

Grats Zagum, Duo Master. With a little time in HS South you should pick up the Solo Master title as well!

Sojourner/Susan: I'm kind of unsure what to do there - would you be totally averse to filling out one sheet for each character? Also, go grab that cliff golem for your Duo Master title!

Wow, you actually broke Fear duo? I'm impressed. I'm guessing some of those are D- thought for the Donals BP, but its still very impressive.

Anyway, grats Rkahor, Duo Disciple, our first Cleric!

[Susanbanthony]

Sojourner/Susan: I'm kind of unsure what to do there - would you be totally averse to filling out one sheet for each character? Also, go grab that cliff golem for your Duo Master title!

The following were duo'd on the Cleric, otherwise it was Necro/Shm:

FG's (though I know I can duo this with the necro and any other class).
Emp Chottal / Crypt (also can do this nec/shm, have not yet though)
Spore King (somewhat sure nec/shm can do this)
Efreeti (gonna try to solo this on the necro at somepoint)
Phinny (this was Clr/Rng... with an assist on getting guards out of the way)

If I'm feeling ambitious (aka bored at work tomorrow) I'll make one for each.

[Handull]

Just down skarlon and broke past the 4 room going to magi! pretty much everything that i had previously solo'd was already down, which was kinda perfect. cliff golem here i come!

[Splorf22]

Well based on that your Necro is a Solo Disciple and your Cleric is close to Duo master but not quite there.

[bizzum]

Grats Zagum, Duo Master. With a little time in HS South you should pick up the Solo Master title as well!

Definitely going to give it a try! Good call on knowing who I did these with, I forgot to say =P

[Rkahor]

Oh ya I didnt even realize Donal's as a strong clicky item haha. Def is though. I'll edit that
I'll have to start tryin to do it without the Donals just to try

[Nordenwatch]

Finally a necro. Good to see you join the ranks.

I submitted my sheet PAGES ago!

I submitted my sheet PAGES ago!

I must have read "human" and stopped there.

[Autotune]

I must have read "human" and stopped there.

I've been up there for awhile, but I'm black.

[Splorf22]

Yeah but neither of your sheets have been edited, so I don't think either of you have really taken up the gauntlet as it were.

I'm kinda curious who you did all your duoing with tho Stealin.

[Autotune]

Yeah but neither of your sheets have been edited, so I don't think either of you have really taken up the gauntlet as it were.

I'm kinda curious who you did all your duoing with tho Stealin.

I've done some of it with Zagum, some of it with Qados, some of it with a mage in TMO I've forgotten and a few others (clerics).

I rarely ever killed anything in full groups (I hate grouping with random people) and when I solo it was mostly for items or xp so going after most of these targets without sufficient force would be silly under those.

Also, mine prob won't get updated, I don't play anymore lol.

[Susanbanthony]

Also, go grab that cliff golem for your Duo Master title!

cliff golem down to a Cleric / Ranger (Gats) combo! Once when he had two weapons and was mean. Did it again when he repopped without weapons to see the big difference.

The 'Ashiir brothers will die next.

I fiddled around with getting together some gear on my 56 rogue so that I would be able to pick off a named in KC solo or something, and also entertained the idea of trying some of the warmup mobs once I was 60 and done getting my droppable gears.

Then earlier today, after I had to train to zone in KC after a low blue nearly killed me even though I used slow poison, slow proccing weapon, backstab-while-tanking tricks, and a disc... I rolled an enchanter.

[Handull]

attempted a cliff golem to see how the fight is. had the foreman fully buffed, but didn't try to slow the golem at all. after healing with half of my mana and testing nukes with the other half, it was an even fight with both mobs at 50%. then charm broke (i was on my last string click) and got summoned 3 times before finally eating it. if i can land slow on the golem, i'm pretty sure i can take him out. for now its time to find a rez though.

Could you have aggro kited with the cleric while the ranger chased and disarmed? Would that stop it from dual-wielding?

Just curious :)

Emperor Chottal down solo (S- w/ use of heavy clickies). Pics to follow

[Triangle]

Emperor Chottal.

This fight was the hardest I have done. I gave my pet a brells keg popper in main hand and tash stick off hand. I buffed myself like crazy and even used a poison resist potion and a fire resist potion. I left 2 slots up at the top empty, so I could dispell pyrocur if it landed...

Anyway the fight. So I had a horrible pull and nearly died right away because i got interrupted trying to root his pet. I was down to like 30% right away, but the first screen shot shows i torpor'd myself and pet is tanking.. emp is probably at 95% right now:
http://s10.postimage.org/odcyufgnd/EQ000076.png

Second SS: emp is down to 88, i have regained control of my HP, but my pet is taking damage because im not able to tank yet.
http://s10.postimage.org/jl7qwqbd5/EQ000077.png

Third SS, emp is at 70%, my pet is at about 45 or something. I am doing good on health and mana.
http://s8.postimage.org/jgf27pw8l/EQ000078.png

Fourth SS: things start to go bad when pyrocur doesnt land in the empty spots because of debuffs/torpor, and i start to take massive damage from that and from tanking. To top things off my pet is really really low health and I am havnig trouble keeping torpor up enough to mitigate the dmg im taking. I casted superior healing twice at this point... Then out of the darkness, I clicked my CH stick on my pet and all was well again.. sort of =P.
http://s15.postimage.org/sk9zp5tsb/EQ000079.png

[Triangle]

5th SS: emp down to 35, I am getting low on mana, I think I tried to slow him and it resisted. But my pet has a ton of HP so i determine that I wont waste mana slowing. I torpor'd myself and began to tank him again shortly after this point.... (BTW, very few SS's of me tanking if any, because i take a lot of damage and really need to focus at those points, but rest assured I tanked often and that was key to my success).
http://s13.postimage.org/y7vm8emt3/EQ000080.png

6th SS: emp at 28. I am at 500 mana as you can see, my pet has a lot of hp, i am tanking him here.. I probably could have backed off and let pet tank but I am glad i did not because you will soon see that emp runs, it ended up aggroing a bunch of shit.. but more on that to come.
http://s8.postimage.org/w4928tw8l/EQ000081.png

7th SS: emp is running, he began running at 18% or so but thank god my pet started beating his ass really quick and he is down to 7 by the time he is about to hit the door. This threw me off as I did NOT expect him to run. As you can see I have 350 mana and very little HP.
http://s12.postimage.org/zcm6izbz1/EQ000082.png

8th SS: Emp is at 4%, I am very low mana and HP, and right about now 3 mobs outside agro.
http://s15.postimage.org/3towp33t7/EQ000083.png

[Triangle]

9th SS: Emp at 1%, i have a bit more HP but as you can see there are 2 mobs on my pet... soon later a ghoul will add and HT my pet. I am quite glad at this point that pet had a lot of HP.
http://s10.postimage.org/4d9ucs6x5/EQ000084.png

10th SS: Emp is slain! See the xp message below.
http://s15.postimage.org/i0eav6adn/EQ000085.png

final SS: emp's corpse and loot. His spell I think is not so good, and the weapon is awful, but none of that matters. As you can see I am about to die but not before I finished the job.
http://s11.postimage.org/p8x03cboj/EQ000086.png

Sebilite Protector down solo (S- for strong clickes). SS's to follow!

[Triangle]

Sebilite Protector

1st SS: you can see I am down near Prot with 2 pets, I will explain how I got here under the SS.
http://s9.postimage.org/nx1wpw7rz/EQ000089.png

Before the fight began I made sure there were no see invis juggs in the way. I cast root/malosini on two mobs upstairs. I used a root net to make sure root stuck at exactly the same time (within 1 second anyway). I then invis and run down to trak's lair and move all the way to the back of the lair. I had an invis potion ready in case invis broke. I then waited for the pets to come down, when they got there I rooted them both. It was important to make sure root broke on both at the same time, because if my invis was broken before they both got there I would have been trained.I burned a strings charge on one to give him weapons/haste.

2nd SS: I pulled Prot with malo and sent pet right away. Pet took agro immediately thankfully. In this pic the fight has just began and prot is not slowed. Note that the fight was probably going on for less than 5 seconds and my pet is already at 78hp. EDIT: if you look at my left chat window you can see the sort of damage protector puts out.
http://s13.postimage.org/4bmcu0vuf/EQ000090.png

3rd SS: I waited a few seconds for tash stick to land and began casting slow... I got very lucky and slow landed after 2 tries. You can see my pet is very low hp, but prot has been slowed for a good while so he is at 75%.
http://s16.postimage.org/8nsez3t91/EQ000091.png

4th SS: My first pet died. I then immediately charmed the 2nd pet and brought protector over. You can see that my mana is a lot less than the last pic because I tanked prot for awhile waiting for the 2nd pet to gain agro. This pic was taken almost immediately after pet gained agro so his hp is 100 about
http://s17.postimage.org/kebg1e4xr/EQ000092.png

[Triangle]

SS 5: not much happened between prot being at 50% and this SS, but here you can see my pet is low HP. I used my CH stick but I didnt need to. The reason is that charm broke almost immediately after I used it so I ended up tanking for the entire fight after this point. Basically my pet would have lived as he barely took any damage from here on out, but I did not know this would be the case when I used the stick and just wanted to be safe.
http://s7.postimage.org/d52vjq8bf/EQ000096.png

SS 6: Charm broke for the 1st time and I got agro... this was about at 20% of Prot's HP. I had to torpor and chain superior healing while torpor was running to keep up with the dps.
http://s7.postimage.org/uq0sv3el7/EQ000098.png

SS 7: charm broke again and i got a few hits from my pet as well as prot. you can see prot hit me for 451+451+151 in one round in this SS.
http://s16.postimage.org/g2qxiytw5/EQ000099.png

SS 8:Prot is nearly dead but I am almost out of mana and at less than 50% hp.
http://s13.postimage.org/3sqwvm053/EQ000101.png

SS 9: got him! You can see I have 5/2422 mana lol. Pet had a ton of HP so i don't really know if I even needed the CH stick.. I ended up tanking him soon after I CH'd pet because charm broke. Loot was his staff of battle and spell:dictate

Puppet strings are going to rewrite shaman soloing in Velious.

You make it sound like strings weren't around on live, or at least that they weren't used in the kind of way they are used on p99. Why is that?

[formallydickman]

You make it sound like strAlsoings weren't around on live, or at least that they weren't used in the kind of way they are used on p99. Why is that?

This is the second time around for a lot of people and the internet has changed so much so that the obscure mechanics of the game are more well known this time around.

Also, the time between Kunark and Velious is longer on P99 than live was, which would allow a person to obtain more personal wealth to purchase strings and the like.

[diplo]

epic mage king duo with enc/sham/cle...winning!

[Tecmos Deception]

The "people know more" thing only applies to people overall. I can't believe that, if puppet strings worked on live like they do here, there wasn't at least someone, or quite a few someones, who figured out that puppet strings would let them do amazing things back on live, and that those people didn't then do those things and brag about their accomplishments. I mean, it doesn't take a genius to realize that enchanters are awesome largely because of charm and that being able to charm like an enchanter when you are NOT an enchanter is a good thing... right?

Googling ""puppet strings" everquest" with a range from 1/1/1998 to 1/1/2001 doesn't return a single result. There isn't a single EQ webpage out there in the classic era where "puppet strings" was said?

Waybacking a bunch of sites listed in the kunark strategy guide I dug out of my filing cabinet didn't turn up anything era-appropriate and remotely interesting either. A few things from 2001-2003 were more interesting, for what that's worth. But even then the only thing people ever talked about using strings for is OT hammers.


Are people on EQMac using puppet strings like this?

Just wanted to post a reminder: if you want to call it a solo/duo kill you are severely limited in the help you can receive from other players.

You cannot log in other toons you have to buff your partner to the hilt
You cannot have another player train guards away
You cannot have another player pull the mob for you
You cannot get CotH from another player down to the mob

Basically aside from getting a double invis to save time, wizard ports in Sky, and getting rogues to open doors, there isn't much help you are allowed to get.

Not hard at all with BP. I'll try it next time without BP but in this instance I'd be using a manastone....

I didn't really say that right. Ragefire is going to stay on the god kills list, but I'm not going to add any more names to the list of god kills on the front page unless its non-donals.

if you can do ragefire with donal's bp (30 sec cast time, no recast time), then wouldn't it work the same with standard cheal on tank (10 sec cast time, ignore the recast), chain manastone (its oldworld content), cheal on cleric (10 sec cast time + recast), repeat? gives you a good 7+ seconds to click a manastone, plus more if you are smart about it. i would be willing to bet a 60 cleric could recoup the mana of 2 cheals by manastoning (just make sure to avoid low hp agro). just did the math quick, i think the cleric would need about 3k hp to avoid low hp agro and see a net gain in mana from this. for sure this is a lot more impressive (and a lot more work) than just mindlessly clicking a bp every 30 seconds, but it is also pretty easily repeatable and standard.

i'm not sure of the merits of having ragefire on a list like this. not to say its not impressive, but there is only one way to kill it (tank+cleric). you couldn't use a charmed pet since it would get feared, and if it had enough MR to resist fear, then you wouldn't be holding it charmed for very long. (EDIT: the fact that there is only one way to kill it doesn't make it unimpressive. its really the cut and dry, overly simplistic method of killing it that, for me, makes it less than god-like)

i would of course love to see what class combo's can duo it (clr/sk?, clr/paly?, clr/ranger?, clr/shaman??) and maybe someone will come out with an impressive non-cleric duo, but any cleric/tank duo seems to be the result of excellent gear + a cut and dry, zero risk strategy. also, i have to ask, are these war/clr duo's getting to ragefire's lair by themselves with a full pop? (a monk/clr could easy do it with FD). i'd bet that you could get by the 4-pull and other mobs on the way, but has it been done?

if i'm talking out my ass, and there is a lot more to the fight, please correct me. i am impressed by this duo, but it also leaves me a bit unfulfilled :/

[KentalCowtipper]

Handull it becomes a matter of mathematics with a manastone for encounters like this.

First you have donals BP wrong - right now its a 20 second cast time, mana free CH that can be recast immediately.

Second the true power of the manastone is in its mana to hp conversion ratio compared to the mana to hp healed ratio of the healing spell being utilized by its user. Lets look at a cleric as you're using in your example. For simplicity sake in math lets say he has 3000 hp self buffed.

With a mana stone you exchange hp for mana at a 3 to 1 ratio. With our above mentioned cleric they could conceivable exchance 3000 hp for 1000 mana (I'd assume they regen an HP or 2 by the time they're done clicking their stone 50 times).

After a CH, spending 400 mana, thats a net gain of 600 mana. Pretty good for about 12-13 seconds of work in the old world.
The true problem with this scenario is that Ragefire AoEs.
Thus a cleric cannot mana stone down to 1% before CHing. They would conceivable have to stone down to 40% or so and then CH to prevent AOE or if the tank takes a fear and they're at 10%...they have to leave a buffer incase of an unlucky aoe. That means they only have 1800 or so (60% of 3000 hp) to stone down. This yields them 600 mana; after a CH thats net mana gain of only 200 mana.

200 mana instead of 600 mana gain is huge. It means they have to stone down twice and CH twice to be able to regain the mana burned from 1 CH on their tank. Thats 22 seconds worth of work (if you're spot on timing stoning down/ch 22 would likely be the bare minimum) to be able to regain the mana to cast 1 spell that takes 10 seconds.

Total time = 32 seconds per CH compared to 20 seconds on Donals BP CH. More like 34-35 seconds with stoning/CHing.

I don't think it can be done tbh. Perhaps I'm playing it safe saying only to stone down to 40%; Maybe 20% of the clerics hp would be safe. If so that would be a net gain of around 400 mana per stone and thus a CH recast time of 22-23 seconds on the tank.
Someone please prove me wrong :D

[Metallikus]

In your first post you mentioned getsome and motec duoing ixiblat and maestro. If they did, those kills were before the zone agro changes in hate and before the upgraded more beefy Ixiblat that hits harder regens more and cant be slowed.
So obviously you have to take into consideration the time period in which the kills took place because they were trivial at one point.

[Splorf22]

I have a similar attitude to Ragefire. OK, he's tough, but we have an algorithm for killing him (send tank+donals cleric). And it seems that algorithm is not that hard for people to copy (4 different clerics, 3 different tanks). So I'm happy to put up the first few people who did it on the god kills list, but I don't think doing it at this point is as awesome.

[Triangle]

I suppose I take the opposite stance. Ragefire should be on the list for a couple reasons. 1 he is a dragon. 2 he drops great loot, such as CoF. 3 our goal shouldn't be to exclude certain classes from the competition, and as of now it would appear it is only doable by cler/war... I am certainly ok with not being able to take out mobs that are on the list for class reasons.

It does seem like a donals cleric is the winning formula for this fight but I guess I don't see any good reason to exclude it. After all, it is the easiest mob on the god-mode list and we should encourage people to try to compete.

Finally I like the fact that ragefire is somewhat immune to a duo of charmed pets because of its fear. It gives a variety to the list and I just don't want this list to become what can a shaman/enc do rather than what can the p99 population do.

So after about a week of trying I finally got the myconid spore king solo. I had been thinking a while about how to pull him and finally I came up with a cute trick: I could Dictate him, hit him with a Bracer of the Hidden, invis myself and zone out, and then when I came back I could facepull him normally (if you were stalking my WTB thread you could see I suddenly wanted a ton of see invis items).

Anyway, the spore king himself isn't actually that hard solo but I had an amazing combination of bad luck and stupidity.

1st attempt: got him to 20%, charm broke and for some reason i was ducking and couldn't use the strings

2nd attempt: came down with a group on the theory that they could kill it if I wiped, but Trysa pulled him before i had a pet. Then when I was running back from firepotting the tunic to an EC mule he spawned again.

3rd attempt: screwed up the pull (you have to break charm on him really fast or he will try and 'save' you from his guardians, get injured, and summon you)

4th attempt: pulled him and lagged out immediately afterwards (see screenshot above)

5th attempt: I forgot he dispelled after all this BS and he poofed charm twice

6th attempt: calm failed on the room of three where i was pulling my pet, I got 3 stun resists and nuked for 800 and died.

7th attempt: I got disgusted and called Svenn down. We invis pulled him normally, but he fell into the water near NG and summoned my pet under the world.

8th attempt: success. Technically this is cheating, but whatever, its my thread and I got tired of all the BS. Pulling him is easy; you can get a 60 enc and verify it yourself. Svenn pulled with some mini strength debuff that didn't affect the fight. A few screenies:

http://s12.postimage.org/ctllmuoln/EQ000056.png

This time I gave the pet a few trash debuffs (mostly I just clicked the bracer of the hidden when the king dispelled). It gave me great pleasure to see 'froglok krup knight looks stupid'.

http://s12.postimage.org/tt3qtlekr/EQ000057.png

I had to heal the pet with a reaper of the dead. Normally even with a L48 pet that shouldn't be necessary but it ate quite a few rounds of melee while i was backing him up trying to get him out of the water. The other problem is that when the spore king runs through the jail he gets hasted by the illis shamans which really increases the degree of difficulty. I may try and clear them out at some point.

http://s10.postimage.org/9z47l1lyv/EQ000058.png

King about to die. Its quite possible to do him without clickies I think; I didn't have a single charm break and plenty of mana for another rapture/allure if I needed it. I'm so traumatized by this experience it may be a while.

[Splorf22]

Oh and nice job Shinko and Anthrax! I love the limit pushing. As you can see Anthrax was giving me the play by play of Ragefire.

[Aule]

cute trick: I could Dictate him, hit him with a Bracer of the Hidden, invis myself and zone out, and then when I came back I could facepull him normally

Nice one!

[Triangle]

Even though i have nothing of true substance to add, I am posting my screenshots of getting tola to 1% before he gated because the thread needs to be revived a bit. Ah so close.. In the end I should have nuked but I wasnt sure my pet was hasted and I rehasted him.. was really stupid.

1st SS: this is after my first pet died and tola was slowed.. Tola hastes himself which makes the fight sort of hard, I try to dispell him a bit but am hesitant to keep dispelling in case malo or turgurs is placed in an empty slot where his rune wore off or something
http://s18.postimage.org/etv25wgc9/EQ000127.png

2nd SS: BTW in both of these you can see my mana is super low.. that is because I had a lot of resists while slowing him. Here hes at 25ish.
http://s17.postimage.org/5rrmeuepb/EQ000128.png

3rd SS:Here Tola is at 9%. I built up some mana around this point but hasted instead of nuked.... I think this was my only mistake, and if I had nuked around now it would have offset his gate.
http://s9.postimage.org/xxhxwt3kf/EQ000131.png

4th SS: Tola at 1%. My pet must have got a bunch of misses because it doesnt even look like Tola is casting gate at this point... Was really bad luck I guess. You can see my hp is getting low and I dont have enough mana to heal, so I popped a DA thing instead of a CH. I really thought I had him at this point and probably should have just tried to JBB. oh well
http://s11.postimage.org/5xry2q9ib/EQ000133.png


To be continued... this guy will die I guarantee it. It may take a bit of luck as well as a perfect fight from me but it will happen. Bash and stun weapons dont work on Tola, but he can be raptured so it is very hard for a shaman to prevent him from gating.

[Handull]

I've been crazy busy and hadn't recharged my strings in a while, but that is fixed now. I'll be giving one or two mobs a shot in the coming days...

and to comment on some other stuff from page 11, oops, hadn't realized donals is only 20 sec. i can't say i've tried it, but i would think a cleric could stand far enough back to be out of the aoe range, though that would also be really stupid if thats how it was coded. regardless, grats shinko/anthrax! you just use manastone+cheal or did you have to use other heals? I have no clue how efficient the cleric HoT line spells are. Manastoning, HoTing yourself, and then casting Cheal might also work now that i think about it. but if you want to keep your secret, thats cool :P

i didn't mean to discourage anything, though i see how it sounded like that. i guess i like loraens idea of pointing out the first to solo/duo god mode stuff in cases like this. again, i'm still impressed by those donals duos, tho i bet it gets a bit boring :P

...wait, you can't slow ixiblat anymore?? there goes my crazy plan to trio then duo him if its tru :/

gating at 1%, thats the worst man. gl, you'll get him, clearly you have the ability to, just gotta stick it out!

[Handull]

wow, that was a crazy fight. just tried to solo a cliff golem. i got him to 7%, and two major things went wrong for me. first, i didn't anticipate that he would enrage. he enraged at about 8%, with my pet at 10-15%. if there was no enrage, it was going to be a close call, but an easy enough win for me. the second problem i ran into was the wtfihateyou snare whip that Save put on him. this caused me to nearly wipe in the first 20 seconds. it also blocked me from being able to pop tree form for the extra +hp and +mana regen. finally, being snared meant that when he did enrage, i couldn't get into melee range fast enough to turn him around so my pet would live. even if i had, i'm not so sure i could have tanked him long enough to finish the fight, as I was completely out of mana.

i went into the fight with max mana gear, 3016 mana i think. what i need to do next time is as the fight nears to an end, swap in as much hp and ac gear as i can so I can tank him just a bit longer. i tanked a bit randomly during the fight since i was sitting at full hp, but i can only take a few hits before i have to step out again.

i got lucky in that i didn't get a charm break. i wonder how much the golem duel wielding effects the fight, if at all. i spent 100% of my mana healing the pet, which i think is the most efficient thing to do. i also got lucky in that my pet proc'd tash fairly quickly and that slow landed ont he first click. later in the fight i slowed him again just to make sure it wouldn't wear off.

it was a tense fight though, both mobs were more or less neck and neck for % hp the whole time, as my heals kept the foreman alive. i saw enrage and my pet died just as i was getting to the other side of the golem. after that i had nothing to do but wait for him to kill him. it took him 10-15 seconds to finish me off, but with no mana and no high level mobs in sight to charm (and no way for them to regain agro anyway), i was done for.

i'm hearing that enrage always kicks in around 9-10% and lasts for a set duration. what might work is initially having my pet guard far from the fight. then when he rages, step in and tell the pet to back off. spam him to back off while i run from the golem. i'm not sure if he will choose to summon me or my pet though. if he summons the pet, then i have to stay in range to tank him. if he summons me i can just take the hits and run out of melee range over and over until enrage wears off, then send the pet back in. this might let me survive a bit longer. idk, i'm gunna have to play with it. hp/ac gear late in the fight + tree form will help a ton. i'm also not sure if its better to give my pet Natureskin (more hp, ac, regen), or give him Skin Like Nature (lets me robe heal him during the fight). i robed myself a few times after i tanked, and wouldn't have been able to robe my pet too much, so its hard to tell if the extra mitigation and hp+regen is better than a few free heals. i also can't med while robing, which sucks. i also need to play with trying to use ES vambs (i just didn't think to use them), and now that i mention that, i didn't have +mana gear in that slot or one of my fingers. the fight would have been crazy easy with either a reaper cheal click or spamming bladestopper, but i really think i can get it with just strings and a mallet. something about using all those clickies on something this "simple" sounds lame. hell, i could probably go back and solo drusella without a cheal stick now that i know i can haste my pets, but i don't care that much.

unfortunately i spent most of the fight far enough away that my logs didn't catch all of my pets dps. i did however manage to do 3840 dmg just from my DS on myself and my pet. at 32 a pop from my pet, and 38 a pop the few times he hit me, thats a lot of hits :P logs are putting it at a 4 minute long fight.

drusella was still probably my most nerveracking fight, because of all the prep work i had to put into it, and how annoying the cr's were. also it was the first seriously hard fight i did. this cliff golem fight might have been the most fun so far though. it was a long enough fight that i could relax a bit. i actually burned though all my mana by the end, and there were some crazy curveballs thrown at me. i'm sure this got really boring to read, but i just felt like rambling a bit and think about the fight before i pass out. gnight, and welcome droxx to the list! your tranix fight was fun to watch, and you seemed close to biting it at one point. his guards weren't up, but they are easy to single pull off with any class :P grats on the crown!

[Splorf22]

Dual wielding makes a huge difference obviously; its like +75% dps. I'd try and kill the one on the other entrance.

[Triangle]

Jumpalot Down Solo with strong clickies! Finally. Only used puppet strings, root nets, and potions I made (not sure if potions even count as strong clickies nor root nets.. but in any case no CH sticks nor any DA idols were used in this fight.

So the fight is basically like this: I bring two pets down. the first pet has a tash stick and I invis and pull... tola sees invis so if i run quick enough I can get away from him before he casts and then he comes single... Tola is hasted so his dps is incredible till slowed... So i let the first pet tank while i malo and attempt to slow.

The problem with letting my pet tank his tola will slow him, making his dps nearly 0... So I let tola kill the first pet and immediately charm the 2nd one... I didn't take any early SS's, so the first SS is after tola has been slowed and after my first pet has died and the second pet is charmed

SS1: Just started using the 2nd pet. You can see the 2 potions in my inventory. They are cancel magic and cancel poison. I click them whenever I get tash'd/asphixiated/slowed --> this keeps tola busy and keeps his dps down... he doesnt seem to nuke when doesn't have you both tashed and dotted which is immensely important.

http://s18.postimage.org/87u7x7j09/EQ000136.png


SS2: I have plenty of mana and tola is at 60%. I am doing well dispelling his stuff and keep tanking him to avoid having pet slowed.

http://s8.postimage.org/grh3dm0ed/EQ000137.png


SS3: Tola at 53%. I started to try to malosini him to make my nukes land easier when he got low, tried about 3 times but none stuck.

http://s7.postimage.org/8ey6zmxnf/EQ000138.png


SS4: Things got a bit intense I guess so I stopped taking SS's for awhile.. Here he is at 5%. You can see I am in the process of casting a nuke and hoping to god it lands. This is to kill him before he gates.

http://s15.postimage.org/aj8b7z8e3/EQ000139.png

[Triangle]

SS5: Tola down!! You can see he was casting gate by the bubbles but my nuke landed at around 2-3% and finished him off, was very close.. had the nuke not landed he wouldve gotten gate off.. what a pain in the ass this part is

http://s15.postimage.org/7iw256mgr/EQ000140.png


SS6: Tola's Corpse being looted

http://s17.postimage.org/q4rk852f3/EQ000141.png


SS6: loots + finishing off his stupid pet for good measure.. his pet does a ton of dps but i root it throughout the fight. unfortunately my pet pushed tola right into it at the end which i was worried about but luckily i channelled the nuke thru it.

http://s17.postimage.org/b19zhs5fj/EQ000142.png


to conclude, tola gave me tons of problems because of his gate... you can ask tmo about this, about 15 of them pulled him to poop rock and he gated and wiped their mini-raid right in front of me a couple days ago =P. However in the end a well timed nuke was all that was needed... and of course a bit of luck.

[Paumad]

[Shinko]

derp

[Splorf22]

Nice job Svenn; 1 more for god mode!

Also I added hyperlinks for everyone's sheets I think so that you can see what mobs they killed.

[Triangle]

Thanks Mate. Next one will be tough. Looking at Rak Ashiir and Fear as my only two real options. Don't really know what Rak is like as there were at least 12-15 of us during my epic kill and he died easy.

Fear on the other hand involves breaking a ton of mobs at once, which I will have to keep rooted and clear 1-2 and cap out. Orruar is much better at this sort of thing, handling lots of mobs... the stuff he has done in HS south should not be overshadowed because it is not easy. The real risk is that I take a big spike in damage and can't cap out then wtf am i going to do =P. Can't CR in fear solo thats for sure.

So looks like I will try Rak first and if that doesn't work I will do fear.

[BigSlip]

Even though i have nothing of true substance to add, I am posting my screenshots of getting tola to 1% before he gated because the thread needs to be revived a bit. Ah so close.. In the end I should have nuked but I wasnt sure my pet was hasted and I rehasted him.. was really stupid.

1st SS: this is after my first pet died and tola was slowed.. Tola hastes himself which makes the fight sort of hard, I try to dispell him a bit but am hesitant to keep dispelling in case malo or turgurs is placed in an empty slot where his rune wore off or something
http://s18.postimage.org/etv25wgc9/EQ000127.png

2nd SS: BTW in both of these you can see my mana is super low.. that is because I had a lot of resists while slowing him. Here hes at 25ish.
http://s17.postimage.org/5rrmeuepb/EQ000128.png

3rd SS:Here Tola is at 9%. I built up some mana around this point but hasted instead of nuked.... I think this was my only mistake, and if I had nuked around now it would have offset his gate.
http://s9.postimage.org/xxhxwt3kf/EQ000131.png

4th SS: Tola at 1%. My pet must have got a bunch of misses because it doesnt even look like Tola is casting gate at this point... Was really bad luck I guess. You can see my hp is getting low and I dont have enough mana to heal, so I popped a DA thing instead of a CH. I really thought I had him at this point and probably should have just tried to JBB. oh well
http://s11.postimage.org/5xry2q9ib/EQ000133.png


To be continued... this guy will die I guarantee it. It may take a bit of luck as well as a perfect fight from me but it will happen. Bash and stun weapons dont work on Tola, but he can be raptured so it is very hard for a shaman to prevent him from gating.



can you even dispell malo / turgur?

[Triangle]

can you even dispell malo / turgur?

Yes both.

[Handull]

woot! Rak down duoing with Svenn, maybe he'll have some pics to post. was a fun fight getting past the reavers. had a bit of odd agro but got lucky that certain ones didn't repop. rak was pretty easy with two pets at once, tho the pets were taking a lot of damage from his meleeing and aoe. the loot was junk, but it was fun.

on a side note, i noticed that i have 8 kills between solo/duo in the solo master/duo disciple list, so that gives me duo disciple!

[arsenalpow]

Yes both.

You can definitely dispell malo but not shaman slow. It used to be cure disease-able but that was fixed a few months ago.

[Aule]

What about cazel?
To weak to add him to this list?

I was curious about this and just slowed myself in top slot. Then cast cancel magic and it dispelled slow.

[Corrodith]

working on cliff golem on my necro, im gonna get that bastard soon. just need a charm to last full duration. hardest part i'm finding is getting him solo, the dragoons agro with him 90% of the time. just figured out that i could snare him and run him away, then feign and have him stay there while i go charm foreman. will die very soon!

[Galelor]

You can definitely dispell malo but not shaman slow. It used to be cure disease-able but that was fixed a few months ago.

IIRC the only way to get rid of slow in classic was dispell. The disease counter cure removal method was added sometime in later expansions. As far as I know, you can currently dispell any player cast debuff.

[quido]

You can dispell shaman slow. It used to be curable.

[Corrodith]

Cliff golem is proving to be quite the proverbial bitch to do as a necro. just had a good attempt and got him to 25% but i'm starting to think it might not be possible without some use of clickies. Once i get scent resist debuff on him I can land plague, splurt, pyrocuror on him well enough, but no matter what I do i can't quite get enough dps on him to keep up with how fast he kills the foreman. suppose with a CH stick or soulfire I could probably do it as long as charm holds out long enough but I'd like to get it done without clickies!

I might try one more time, try to preserve more mana for the end of the fight (or I might be able to burn an EE and infuse before I do this so I don't lose dot dps at the beginning saving mana), and tap tank him for the last bit through the enrage.

Could use some advice and encouragement! I'm determined to down this beast. I'm loving this solo challenge stuff. I'd like to see more necros stepping up to the plate on this one! Foreman's all set up right now with some weapons heh.

Can you keep another charmable mob rooted somewhat close to the battle? That way, once he kills one pet you can charm the second pet. This approach may let you slow down on your dot DPS and save some mana too.

[Triangle]

I wish I could give more advice but I don't know necro very well. What about healing your pet during the fight? Secondly what about putting a lifetap dot on cliff golem, then stepping in to tank him and chaining lifetap.. Like I said this might be crazy but I just don't know the class.

[Handull]

Foreman's all set up right now with some weapons heh.

what weapons? tash stick or bust!

[Corrodith]

he's got one of those maces from HS that procs guard and then some whip someone else put on him, not sure what it is heh

[Handull]

Schande, Warlock (Europa)

is cazel an enc epic mob? if so, Loraen said in the OP that he's leaving out epic mobs since he doesn't want to create a bottle neck for them. some are on the list
because they are especially hard (ragefire, ixi) and are farmable. if theres a non-bottleneck (ie not a 7 day spawn, etc) mob that you think is especially hard and should be on this list, i'd be fun to read about at the very least

[Handull]

he's got one of those maces from HS that procs guard and then some whip someone else put on him, not sure what it is heh

pretty sure he just spawns naturally with a plain old whip sometimes, he should drop the whip if killed. might put a tash stick on him if i try the cliff golem later, gl tho, can't wait to hear how ur next try goes
