Wizard kill is more impressive then all these ENCs exploiting decades old broken game mechanics

not nearly as impressive as trolling the forums. I have yet to see you make a post that didn't remind me of a ruptured zit spewing malicious pus into the air. Go back to your cave.

P.S. Nice job Neryn! Did you use the wizard annihilator?

P.P.S. GNOME

I had too. I tried without at first and it didn't go so well. Every single mob in the room was dual wielding FS weapons, thanks to some freaking enchanter! So any pull of 3 would be very tricky, I had to waste a ton of mana on runes and it just wasn't working.

So I decided wth, let's not waste a good opportinity to use this spell. King room might be the only room in the list with light blues to blast. Disintegrate actually allows you to single pull and makes the breaking of the room easier. And it's mana efficient compared to regular nuking, which matters when you don't have any mana regen at all (I can hear you laughing. Stop it).

Anyway this Challenge is a great thing, even for non enchanters / shamans. I don't care if, as a wizard, I end up being able to solo only 3 mobs on that list. It's something fun to do once 60 and eventually your efforts are rewarded and you get a nice piece of loot.

GNOME !

Haha, nice. I wondered if instantly killing a mob would cause you to not get aggro from other nearby frogs.

If anyone actually made all of the frogs in that room dual wield, though, it was just some griefer. An enchanter would have no more reason to do that than anyone else [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It does cause aggro. But since the best pull I could get out of this room was a pull of 2, pulling with Disintegrate turns it into a single pull [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

Yeah right. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Enchanters willing to outshine anyone in this challenge is common knowledge ! There are dual wielding mobs all around the place and we all know who's responsible for this...

And I pity the poor FG group at 8 PM, their monk is going to have to deal with 3-4 pets armed with dual whips.

intimidation is maybe 1 in 3-4 success rate against mid-40s mobs. id be surpprised to ever see it work on a 50+. i think the best bet for seeing melee success with disciple or maybe above is a paladin. lull, roots, stun, heals, lay hands... seems like itd be enough to dispatch disciple tier more or less, though i cant speak from experience having never played a pally

So an SK for sure can get disciple by FD split/cos pull to the ledge/fearkite. The KC mobs should be easy too. I don't know whether L55 mobs are fearable; I know Myuharin once soloed the emperor's ph pretty easily.

On Sak I guess I could solo the crypt named with the truncheon/Scimitar of Lifestealing/Fungi with a little luck. Certainly the Baron; probably the Duke, and I'm guessing the Harbinger/Hierophant would be too annoying with huge dots and slows. Unfortunately I don't think the root net would last long enough to root one mob away and camp/come back before it wore. Mayyyybee with a full duration root, but that's dicey on a 53+ named.

Remember melee classes are allowed to get a full set of buffs if they choose, just because they are so important and the melees are at a huge disadvantage anyway.

Pally DPS is abysmal, no way a DWhelm/healing spells will be less melee than a summoner can put out in equal time. I see monks in fungi's or warriors with fungi+slow hammer getting the furthest of all melees.

Well, there are quite a few level 50s on the list. A paladin could, I believe, probably get to and kill every one of them solo and without using any clickies. Whether they could kill a level 51 I don't know, cause I guess yeah it would take at least 6-8 minutes for a pally to DPS down a level 51 mob. But I thought that backing away from a 51 to cast heals between summons and using lay hands and being able to mitigate damage with stuns and all would be enough to let a well-geared 60 pally kill the easier 51s. Don't forget the challenge does allow for melee to have buffs (within reason, I think?), unlike the "self buff only" rule in place for chanters/shamans/etc.

But a warrior relying on backpacks full of nets to get "single" pulls or a monk having to... I don't know. How the hell would a monk get a mob like froglok ostiary to a spot where he could fight it single without clickies for CC and without it fleeing (probably at sow speed) and training him?
