Man, soloing, using Puppet Strings, would be one God Damn expensive way to kill for weeks at a time :eek::eek:. Velious is really a expansion that was more group designed than solo. Mobs just hit WAY too hard to solo a lot of stuff. They don't die in 30 seconds like in Kunark. Melee class run out of Hit Points, and Casters run OOM. Simple as that solo. And oh by the way group wise also lol..

Until AA's came out in EQ live, which I guess will never happen here, Soloing was a hard ass way to go once Velious came out and past that.

Velious* and Shaman* there buddy.

Fungi tunic isn't Iksar only, three whole mouse-clicks to swap it in after a fight even if you have better protection to wear during melee...

Mage alt (or friend soloing nearby) can supply endless stacks of bandaids and weightless bags to carry them in...

Iksar's surely an edge solo (the bonus AC should help a little as well), but it's not an "I win" button.

dude when i started playing eq i couldnt spel coz i was young, lulz

im being classic.

It's true - unfortunately, fear animal won't be available in velious for a while. I'm guessing probably a year after velious release on p99 this patch will be in.

However, I have a 32 ranger who will be abusing the hell out of that skill as soon as it is available. Fear animal + cheap snare completely changes the solo game for rangers.

Have a druid with epic, wait until Root + Snare stack (1 months from velious)

Then you can potentially kill every non - Summon MoB out there if you can get to him.

Am I the only one who understood the original post to be talking about soloing high-end nameds at 60? Lol.

Read the whole post before replying? Who am I, good guy Greg?

I can't wait for this. Winged Death, Breath of Ro, Wrath of Nature, Drones of Doom.. 113, 103, 55, 34 = ~3k damage a minute for 525 + 75 mana. Add in new stuff to charm and non-summoning, high level stuff to kill. Druid is gonna be really fun.

Does Velious introduce some mobs being 51+ but NOT being summoners?

<---- total Velious noob
