Has anyone soloed Khelkar Icepaw in Velks?
 

I gave this a shot as a 60 enchanter, but ran out of mana when he was at 48%. I was wondering if anyone else has been able to pull this off (and how you did it).

Yes. Rapture and slow and he fight is easy

Hmm. That's how I started my attempt and he still torched my champion pet. Then I couldn't get the slow refresh to land once I had him on the second pet. There must be more to it than that.

Pretty much a waste of time attempting him solo IMO. You'll fail most of the time to resists. Bring a shaman or a cleric and just kill him, unless you want the checkmark, in which case given enough attempts (maybe dozens) you'll eventually solo him if RNG cooperates a ton.

I've already duoed him with another enchanter. That wasn't too bad. I'm just looking for the check mark.

Dictate him to give him -mr gear, blur, then try to fight him? Does he quad already? If not then clearly don't give a time, but for sure two rings and a shoulder. Not sure how much it would help.

Does giving a 2h to a mob that quads innately cause it to stop quadding?

Did you have tola robe and cheap ac gear (banded?) on your pet? Just trying to think of little extra edges you might be able to get on him.

I thought about this idea, too. The problem is, he's lvl 59 and dictate only works on mobs up to lvl 58 (according to the wiki). I haven't actually tested this to see if the wiki is correct on both accounts, but I plan to. If dictate lands, I was also thinking of having him fight the four mobs in his room until he's almost dead. Then blur the mobs, break charm, charm something else, and kill him.

Even with a tola robe, I think the first pet would die. So bye bye tola robe. I could always use a SoulFire or Reaper, but that just feels too much like cheating. No offense, Tecmos. I know you used a Reaper on a couple of your solo artist kills. :p

Lol. No offense taken. I know it's cheesy stuff.

Some people swear that a set of banded/bronze/whatever really toughens up a charm. And they'll only cost 150pp or something.
