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.

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: [You must be logged in to view images.

It gave me great pleasure to see 'froglok krup knight looks stupid'. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] 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. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] 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. | ||

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. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] 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. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] 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. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] 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. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] 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. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] 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. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] 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 [You must be logged in to view images.

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. | ||
