Long post! Sorry [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I saw 2 giants, and they were a long ways apart. Cool, I can get singles without even any lull fanciness! Or not!! I got 4, 3 warriors and a wizard, I scrambled backwards down the ramp a little bit, pet went flying in after I caught some of a frost nuke from the wizard... it was a mess. I managed to root two of the warriors right away, but I lost my bedlam+rune and a bunch of HP before I backed off of the 4, rooted the 3rd warrior, and backed up myself and pet a bit more for pet to kill the wiz. Fortunately the wizard went down quickly, pet just needed a couple bedlams. I believe I drank 4-5 charges of a stinging wort pot but was still pretty well-off in terms of mana because of a ToT on the wiz. My pet was down to like 10% when the wiz died though (all roots still holding) from taking damage during the pull, so I CHed him because memblurring to heal my pet while keeping 3 bellycasters rooted didn't sound like much fun, and neither did camping out... although now in hindsight a dazzle on my pet would have let me camp off the giants without having to go back over to freeti to find a new pet. Oh well. It's not even 1k! The first screenshot I got of this mess was after pet was engaged with the first of the warriors and the second two warriors came down after me when roots wore off: http://postimg.org/image/mytyb6af5/ And here are a few more pretty boring SSs of FGs dying while I bedlam/rune myself/my pet: http://postimg.org/image/y9q4ym0qv/ and http://postimg.org/image/70rb7lmzv/ and http://postimg.org/image/6uls6js5d/ So finally it was clear to Skarlon. Here's his room: http://postimg.org/image/hfretyddj/ After I went and got my pet charmed up and up into tranix's room, I lulled the FG warrior around that corner there and brought skarlon out. Tash, fetter, tepid deeds (forlorn just has such a long cast time when I'm getting beat on by an unslowed level 53), and I backed out to let my pet do some work: http://postimg.org/image/s6ppfxn6z/ Pet took a bit of damage through the bedlam I had on him while I got bedlam+rune back up on myself and hit him with another bedlam, but even with just a 50% slow a level 53 warrior mob doesn't really do that much damage: http://postimg.org/image/qr3ona233/ I took a turn letting Skarlon smack my magical barriers so that my pet could do some backstabbing to speed things up a bit next. He's got a 315 BS in on this shot, not too shabby: http://postimg.org/image/pinpi36tj/ Skarlon started fleeing, which caught me by surprise, but he only took like 1 step back towards the warrior in his room before he turned and wandered back out into Tranix's area, leaving his back exposed to delicious imp backstabs until he died and coughed up the legs: http://postimg.org/image/c7gvnjjop/ At this point, a Full Circle monk was hanging around and said he was wanting to kill some fire giants with a ranger buddy of his. I figured there was no harm in speeding up the clearing process by killing giants with them (the 4-spawn was just repopping from Drumas and I clearing it earlier today) plus a few other giants up since I'd already solod a 4-giant pull without TOO much trouble. That imp sure was nice with someone to tank giants other than me. 100+ DPS! We cleared to lair in no time, I refreshed buffs and pulled Rokyl back down the stairs just to be safe in the event of a naggy pop... haha. I tashed, hit him with tepid deeds, then started refreshing bedlams on myself while my pet went to town on Rokyl's exposed posterior: http://postimg.org/image/iqcnp3707/ (oops, just noticed I had chloro during that fight... oh well, loot SS looks like I didn't have any skin buffs from the ranger and I didn't take HP damage such that chloro helped anyway!) Rokyl was nice to me in that he decided to cast MR nukes almost exclusively. I think he only stuck one partial MR nuke on me by the time by pet had dropped him under 10%, and with bedlam spam on myself he still hadn't even gotten through all of rune: http://postimg.org/image/ais1rjimn/ Rokyl wanted to try to keep things a little interesting though, so he channeled a gate when he was at 1% and immediately summoned my pet across the lair: http://postimg.org/image/8nk743t9d/ Nagafen didn't want to come defend his Magi though: http://postimg.org/image/yqgla22rx/ I've got an inside track on Tranix spawns thanks to Llog also, so hopefully tomorrow I'll get him solod (whether or not I get any loot to show for it) and I'll hang up my soloing hat (for now) and maybe see about some duo grandmaster stuff. We don't have a duo legend, after all, although Svenn is really close! | |||
