Love to know how you pulled off a [D] on Ixiblat. Unless you are talking about the nerfed version in game for a few weeks when epics first came out. We arent counting that version here right?

Nice job ploktor! I think this is the first time anyone has killed a god mode mob without the clickies too.

You mean besides the time me (anthrax) and shinko (on lacie) killed ragefire without any clickies. Looking for an update on first page [D] for that.

I don't think so, his dps is just in line with a jugg in seb who casts spells, so its not like crazy dps. Secondly I am no enchanter but i believe he is immune to stuns because he is 56+. I do think it is very possible without dictate though, just have an allure wand ready in case charm breaks (or strings if you have them). I would have rune/bedlam up for tanking UL on charm breaks though.

Should have a 60 enchanter soon enough to screw around with this list.

Anyhow, is Undertaker Lord's room enough DPS for a dictate sacrifice to work?

Basically
1) Pacify room
2) Rapture Undertaker Lord
3) Tash/Slow
4) Dictate him as Rapture fades.
5) Have him Attack everything paci'd in the room.
6) when dictate breaks (or if he's super low, gazughi), attempt to aoe stun after he summons you.
7) AoE blur/Spores and hope with pacify, most stuff is out of social range or aoe stun + (optional wind of tash, dunno how resistant his room is) + aoe stun 2 + fascinate/mezmerization.
8) Either Puppet Strings a pet, blur Undertaker Lord to reset your aggro so he focuses pet. or (if he's not dotted) Rapture him, yank a pet, and blur him to reset your aggro.

Grats Catherin, Solo GM. How did you do Ixiblat? I've wondered for a while if a donal's cleric and a puppet strings enchanter could handle him. I'm also curious how you duoed Phinigel on an enchanter.

I've been kinda slacking on that owing to the cleric/manastone thing, but I guess its not officially on the strong clicky list.

I don't think the Undertaker Lord is that bad for an enchanter if you have puppet strings to instantly recharm a pet. The two primary issues with the Lord are finding a L51 pet for Allure in East and getting him solo. There are 3 spots I am aware of that he spawns in East. The nook in the SE corner is rough with the new aggro changes because the east/west pather will bring his entire room when he aggros. The big room before Drusella is clearly more trouble than its worth. The best is probably the room right before the exit (this is where Svenn has been hiding out over the last weeks) but in my experience the Undertakers are usually 52+.

Also east stuff is pretty resisty. I would say 20-30% chance. If you get summoned into 6 mobs, you'll be dead before you know what hit you. The problem with Dictate is that 30 seconds just isn't that long. I've given some thought to stuff but I think very few mobs have enough dps to kill something or few enough hp to die in 30 seconds. For example, I was thinking about the Protector (ignoring the fact that he is immune to charm for the moment) who will triple for 451. With haste/muzzle/weapons lets say he gets in 2 attacks for full damage each round of 1.6 seconds. That works out to 900/1.6 or about 550 dps; in 30 seconds that's 15k - not bad but not enough to kill a juggernaut let alone Trakanon.

Reanimated Plaguebone finally decided to show up. I believe I've got all the GM mobs, might go for legend at some point? doubt it but who knows =P

[Splorf22]

I decided to clean up a few of my unfinished mobs on the Disciple/Master ranks, and I thought Estrella (L51) would be easy enough to just kill with the RoA/Animation. She sees invis so she can be easily separated from her guards.

However, fighting underwater is kind of a pain. I got a few interrupts and in addition I attracted a few of those annoying mini fish. Suddenly I was in danger of embarrassing myself on a disciple level kill.

Fortunately enchanters can't really die to L51 mobs. After Zenarer bit the dust I kept her dazzled for 5-10 minutes while I med up pretty fast with manatap and my new hero Kibn cleaned up the minifish.

And in the end I was rewarded with the horrible Lamentation Blade, which will no doubt be turned down by some newb in ecommons. You can also note the Levitation spell I have up. I got this tip from Zephany; you don't sink and get unforced channeling errors nearly as much underwater with Levitation. Unfortunately, you still get massive knockback from melee hits so channeling through strikes is definitely harder.

edit: Just noticed this is post #300. I'm pretty happy about this thread!

its not on the list but thought i would make a mention of this since we did it just now.

Fun Fact: a cliff golem in OT cons yellow to my 57 monk, so maybe he is level 58?

Not sure if I should bother with stories and pictures for the stuff I'm doing, since it's just the warmup... but I had enough fun with my first solo artist kill that I have to share!

Getting down into the froggie king's area was easy, of course. Nothing sees invis on the way down except that water elemental, so I got down to the back of king room by the teleporter back to Innothule. I wasn't sure how well my charms would hold on these mobs, if I'd get lull resists, etc., so I just bound right next to the teleporter and figured I'd just run out through the 'porter any time anything went wrong, and then I could gate back when I was pretty sure the one pather wasn't going to be in the back by the portal.

Turned out stuff doesn't resist and charm holds well at 55 down here. Better safe than sorry I guess!

King wasn't up when I arrived, so I just lulled the 5 mobs in his room and the pather and started picking off mobs with charm and letting them die then dashing out. Yeah. I'm a scared-y-cat on my first solo artist kill. Things cleared out easily like this, and when the first bok knight spawned beside the throne next time around I petted him, buffed him up, killed the next bok night, then camped in the hallway leading INTO the king room waiting for the next pop on throne. Luckily, it was the king. Mez, tash, slow, send pet... back off into hallway (I figured the mobs on the ledges would repop during fight, didn't want to have to deal with them too if I didn't really have to), root, cripple. This brings me to the first screenshot: http://s18.postimage.org/bpwr4devd/EQ000027.png

I had a pet break somewhere in here, but he didn't get through rune let alone berserker str, and after a stun+mez+recharm he was back on king. I stole some mana and stuck a dot on king: http://s11.postimage.org/e17l0i4gj/EQ000028.png

Pet broke again at like 40% or so, got him charmed up again and learned that king will dispel and stun. Lost my rune and BS cause I hadn't paid attention to any junk buffs. I wasn't sure if king would lay on hands or not, but I didn't want to find out, so I memmed a third stun and just chainstunned him from 30% on down to make sure he wouldn't draw the fight out any more... although with ToT and an 80% health pet and such it wouldn't have been a problem if he'd healed up anyways: http://s16.postimage.org/b072pdhdh/EQ000029.png
