Default Can Shaman/Necro duo fungi king?

Level 60, fully geared. Curious about this, anyone with any experience or educated opinion? Thanks

Depends who's playing, right?

I'm sure it's technically feasible, but has it even been done?

Can you duo the king himself is one question, but it's probably not the most relevant one. It seems to me the more relevant question is "Can a Shaman/Necro hold down the king camp?"

Because it's not like you just walk up and kill the king: you need to clear a place to fight him first, then clear any mobs in the way, then pull and kill the placeholder, then repeat until you get a king, and finally pull and kill the king ... before anything along the way or in the kill spot respawns.

big hurdles would be :

#1 The pull. Pulling king solo is tricky for a monk, and probably a waking nightmare for a necro with no rez button backup plan. You'll be pulling through multiple shrooms/frogs/healers/casters.

Location would also be a challenge, A necro+shaman is not going to be able to keep the zoneout on lockdown (even with charm and puppet strings, maybe if you had 2 pets full enchanter quality set (Jumpy robe+weapons of preference+-MR gear))
The more viable option would be probably to park in tube room and have the necro pull to there. All this being said I haven't seen solo pulls to tube room since before velious launch. Maybe this can still be done but you certainly wouldn't be "holding a camp" from a rules perspective, and would likely lose any named kings to snipes.

#2 The fight begins. King is probably the most magic resistant thing in seb next to trak jumpy and Emp. You'd be relying on getting things slowed with only a malo --45. You could attempt to go for the -60 malo after but unslowed king is a mean dirty bastard.
[Sun Nov 06 01:10:34 2016] Myconid spore king hits YOU for 280 points of damage.
You'd probably need Jman sticks on charm pet(s) to get some tash stacked in there.
Your tank is probably going to need to be the shaman. If the necro is charming and hasting an undead he's not going to survive a charm break with a hasted pet + king beating on him. The shaman would need torpor of course. Both players should probably bring a full soulfire, reaper, midnight mallets, DS pots (both flavors) and maybe a couple ivandyr hoops for good measure.


Lets assume you win the RNG lotto and land your first slow after your first malo after the successful solo pull through a dozen+ mobs over 4+ rooms away.

#3 The fight concludes. Now that you've managed to get king to low health, you have a new problem, -fleeing- and -healing-. With king as resistant as he is, getting him snared with necro or inny neck is a pretty high-risk plan. best plan would probably to have a shaman with the VP Ensnare proc spear to attempt to proc (-and- land) since it lasts 10min+. Meanwhile any passing healer is going to be spamming the crap out of him, and pray some mushroom doesn't just CH him through a wall.

Now that you've blown through multiple potions, half a soulfire apiece, emptied those mallets, used multiple hours and been harassed by everyone for "stalling" your king pull, congrats on your shiny new

Everything Darkatar said was spot on, but based on my experience this part is especially true:

It's really a matter of "should" vs "could"

Could you? Potentially yeah, some amazing players can do amazing things.
Should you? Probably not, because the efficiency of that duo would be abysmal for the reasons stated above.

Thanks for the awesome replies. This is for off hours on a pvp server, so holding up the camp isn't a problem. But I see the level of difficulty now for this duo.

Not to hijack but what 3rd class would be ideal for a trio of Necro/Shaman/???

@commongood - Monk would be a nice fit in my opinion (in a general trio sense -- I don't know squat about taking down kings)
