Has anyone soloed Khelkar Icepaw in Velks?

[Emmin]

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?

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.

Anecdotally, put me down in the camp that believes armor makes a difference on pets. When I leveled off FV drovlargs I would give my Pirate pet the bronze they dropped, and the amount of dmg taken seemed very noticeable if they had multiple pieces of bronze on, although I never parsed it.

I think pets only benefit from 1 ring per the wiki on the pet guide but that might just be summoned pets idk about charmed

"Additionally, they can equip a single finger slot, a single wrist slot, and a single ear slot."

Since when? Cause unlike the people who regularly say this with no actual knowledge, I actually tested giving 2 rings to a level 1 charmed pet with Tecmos and proved they wear both by its hp total changing not by +55, but by +110.

I can't for the life of me find the thread where I posted about it, and the screenshots hosted are probably dead links now anyway. But yeah. They really do wear 2 rings on p99, and so presumably 2 earrings and 2 bracers too... at least as of the day I tested it 2-3 years ago.

After I get home from patriotic festivities and get my corpses out of hs, I'll buy or make how rings, bracers, and earrings, and record video proof of what I'm saying to put on the wiki so people will finally shut up about this.

I actually re-tested this a few months ago and it was still true then. I gave a decaying skeleton one 55 hp ring and his % hp dropped. Then gave him another one and his % hp dropped again, indicating that he equipped both rings. I didn't take screenshots, though.
