Echo of Nortlav: Soloed today as a level 70 necro on the combine server. With infusion up the fight was a joke. The only two spells that landed of mine were lifetap, and Fang of Death. My pet does have near maxxed critical AA's.

Faydedar: Lifetap, Lifetap, Sick Pet, Fang of Death, Army of the Dead (raptors), epic 1.5 pet, Lifetap, Lifetap, Lifetap, Fang of Death, Lifetap, L ifetap, Lifetap = dead. Level 70, 6854 mana/ 130 aa's.

Next stop, Talendor, Sevrilous, Woushi, Venril Sathir, Brood Queen, Gorenaire, Trakanon, King/Queen/Prince, Rhag 1 on the agenda.

(((Would love to hear about mobs that you have soloed or heard of necro's soloing. While I gear and AA up I plan to work through the expansions as possible.)))

Has a necro ever soloed Vindicator, Avatar of War? King Tormax?

Did Echo, Woushi, Broodqueen in Lavaspinners, Vindi (not a true solo I had Tenacity and burned all vet AA's, Rhag 1, Gorenaire, Trakanon, King/Queen/Prince in chardok, Venril Sathir, I'm sure there's more but I don't really remember. I'm also sure if I've done these there's been some crazy stuff done out there cause I'm pretty gimp imo lol.

Excluding Veeshan's Peak, the rest of the Kunark Dragons (including Garudon, not from this expansion but still). Venril Sathir, that other undead chick in Howling Stones (not that hard).

Vindi was cake, his adds make great WTD btw. Zlandicar is super gimp. Wuoshi is easier then Zland. Clear WW out of boredom a few times excluding Klandicar and Sont. Have yet to try Velkerator or Lord Yelniak. AoW I know I couldn't do and have no interest trying Tormax.

Rhag 1, XTC, and that giant Zelniak in UP.

VZ and Grummus.

That Innoruk spawn in Nadox, actually that fight is about as hard as chasing Wuoshi across WL when he gets low on health (i.e. not worth the effort).

After that I didn't really think about it anymore. Kill named from XYZ expansion, sell loot or twink alt, wash rinse repeat.

Awesome guys, thanks for the updates and the ideas!

What else has been soloed by necros?

I've killed Klandicar but Soltalak is a bitch, maybe if I got lucky...

With my gear I can solo things that hit for around 600~ with fast attacks, the slower their attacks the more they can hit for peaking around 750 I would say somewhere around there. If it's a caster it can hit even harder.

I have killed Trakanon in Old Seblis...I was told there is an easy and a hard Trak so no idea which one I soloed.

I had to clear the area around Trak which was not difficult once I got to the camp :)

Basically Trak resisted every spell I had to cast, I had stocked up on orbs to heal, so with pet unbuffed in he went. I had to chain heal him and used staunch recovery when I ran out of mana...but after a long period Track died.

Not sure why I killed this mob, I was dossing about in OS farming bits and ended up near him and figured it was worth a go... he dropped a mana robe and a bard bp...both which sold for a nice profit :)

Good Luck if you try Trak :)

trakanon banishes so only way to solo the real trak is to pet tank and heal pet... any dps and you find yourself halfway across the zone.

interested in how you solo'd grummus... duo'd him with a mage, we're both in top 3 of class on server, solteris content, yada yada, and we both had to burn staunch recovery and mage was getting lom at end still (btw, she buffs out to over 20k hp on raids).

fun solo is the furnace trial in GoD (the one where you have to go to the right, all the way in back and kill 4 undead, spawns a wisp, that goes back to front of zone then heads to far back left, and you have to be in back left when wisp gets there, and un FD'd for win... did it back at 65, and took a couple tries back then to get it down.

pet can solo echo of nortlav at 75, so that one sort of doesnt count.

severilious, wuoshi, zlandicar all solo'd

phinny was a rough solo back at 60, before aa's, etc....

rhag 1/2/3 in ssra

duo'd lcea katta at 70, nathyn illuminous at 70 (nathyn has insane hp, and lcea charms, so both casters have to have dispell up and fight unbuffed).

duo'd seru with wifes mage (farm status now)

velk is spell proof, so only way to solo/pet class kill him down is just that, with pets... long slow fight (would like to know how he is solo'd, because im guessing based on his hp, a necro would be oom just healing pet).

king/queen in chardok solo'd

Velketor.

Solod him, was very hard. Resisted most (2/3rds) of my lifetaps. But I ended up tap tanking him self buffed. Got a few dread pyre's to land. Mostly just lifetap though, and pet DPS. Had to burn staunch, steadfast, etc.

Definately difficult. F-resists.

Xelera

11-13-2007, 07:43 AM

btw, for seru duo, get a mage to go with you

mage pet tanks, main job (and its a job) is to keep their pet healed, pet on taunt, with an occasional gift of radiant mana extra pet in.

necro is DPS, use gangrenous touch of zumuul for lifetaps (others dont land) and stack 4 fire dots. i dont have to burn staunch recovery, because blood magic is awesome here, with a healing pot while going, to get the necessary mana back.

mage healing pet will need to burn staunch, or get lucky with jester.

i havent tried with 2 necros, or with a necro + beastlord, but i imagine it could be done with either of those combos (especially since both necros can dps and heal whichever pet is the tank (mage heals on their pet only, we heal each others pets!)

10 kills in 3 months and no horsey yet though... F soe

Made a run in Akheva the other day and cleared

Va'dyn = He can spike some dps unslowed, pots and shards are useful.
Insanity Crawler = ranged fight, don't let any sort of pet die..spits out adds.
IV = Interesting solo, figure it out your self =)

trakanon banishes so only way to solo the real trak is to pet tank and heal pet... any dps and you find yourself halfway across the zone.

There's another way. Also, Trak is -- like most dragons -- a belly caster, so he will resist all spells unless you cast them from within his melee range, and (I think) it is actually your melee range. So an easy strat is to clear the area and the path too him from the reets, then send in pet, run in and hit him with Dyn'Leth for some healing, and you can tap tank him and load up on fire dots. I haven't really bothered to try disease based spells on him, but I think Poison and Fire are his weaknesses here. Maybe magic too. I didn't snare him though.

If he banishes you, and you've cleared the reets and the path to Trak, just get up and wait for him to come to you. With /pet hold, he should come a-running pretty soon. You can then just kill him in the reets area.

Else you can just keep running back when banished and hope your pet lives that long. Warrior pet recommended.

I've done Echo, the named in the castle in TM when they were reasonably hard.

I've heard of necros doing Grieg (which I'd like to try after a couple of upgrades) and I think next I'll try and bag my own Willsapper.

Necros are not really good at this stuff. Go look at what the clerics and SKs have soloed. We cant touch that stuff. Unless someone else has tried AoW, Fire Minis and can comment on how close they got. I know Charm birds, Babnoxis, and Magmaton have been done by other classes. And a SK has gotten Reparm to 24% recently.

I disagree, though we can't kill stuff a high end raid geared Cleric or Sk can, we can still kill plenty of named reliably.
I have less than 10k HP and only 11k mana but I have soloed (self buffed only no mage toys)
the mobs I listed in this thread, plus many more.

heh, just fd every 28 seconds. pets don't get banished. I did trak along with the rest of kunark dragons in during pop.

I've done most of velious, that I can find up..and just about everything before that besides veeshan peeks..since it's been revamped. Idol doesn't summon, aow is tough but doable.

Akheva, some some ssra(rhags, cursed cycle), grieg(and other named in zone). Grummus, tallon zek, vallon zek..sol ro. I duo'd velitorkan. Umm..there's a lot of stuff we can kill, I'm just drawing a blank.

Their ceilings MIGHT be higher..I've done 90% of what anyone has done, and really haven't tried the rest.. Necros can solo more with less gear then just about anyone.

Heh..I'm like 22k hps (about same mana) and 3100ac selfbuffed..with 3200aa.
Enhanced Minion 4.

I've solo'd just about anything I can find up that people think is even remotely possible. Brael and I went back and forth last year or so with revamped VP dragons..I don't think they have an edge on us..all things being equal(or close). At least I haven't heard of a list of mobs that other people have solo'd that I can't(there might be an exception here or there..but that works both ways).

Jebasiz

05-28-2008, 02:45 PM

btw..Pyronis and other fire mini's hit for 1200. If you can stand the boredom and significant clearing of the field..these are easy. Reparm has always been harder..and magmaton, they weren't up.

Now, I guess I'll be waiting for the 'what about the M'sha" question..and my reply to that is, what about 2007?

Fennin is sort of a joke now, but worth doing if you feel like lagging out the zone. I didn't think people would be as bored as I usually am, but PoP gods are usually down when I check... none of them that I've tried are really difficult anyway, just range in how annoying they are (with Mith Marr being the worst!). Tank pet really is quite decent for this sort of content, with aa`s running on Fennin he needed almost no attention from me until an elite guardian of ro jumped him - still wasn't close. Didn't really think he'd be hard anyway, but it has been on my list of things to do for a while :p

Tryal Anderror

02-27-2009, 05:09 PM

I almost don't like how must Power we got in SoD now because it wrecked a smooth Solo progression.

In SoF, doing PoP gods like Terris and Saryrn were kind of hard and we were just barely able to do things like Chaliak and stuff,

Then SoD triples our damage almost and gives Mercenaries and stuff, which just doesn't feel like that same type of fighting as before, and now too many classes can do it just by bringing a Cleric merc with them.

Jebasiz

02-27-2009, 07:28 PM

Mercs are probably more damaging then the power increase. With each successive level increase there's always been a "new list" of stuff that was attainable. Starting with PoP and Kunark era dragons, venril sathir and the like(some WW dragons were soloable during luclin..with the introduction of AA's). With mercs, anyone can get or be healed. I'd assume this would help mages a lot more then us, as far as conventional "solo" classes go. A good beastlord might just be unkillable in anything even remotely resembling solo content now.

Malacath

02-27-2009, 09:54 PM

yeah with mercs alot of stuff is now soloable heres my own list(this is with a tier 5 cleric merc)

All the nameds in the hole/splitpaw
Almost All the temple of Cazic-thule raids(i didnt try the last one)
Almost all kunark bosses(i havent tried VP)
Almost all velious bosses(i havent tried ntov or sleepers yet)
Emperor Ssraeshza
The Creator
Rhags

All the raid targets in PoTorment

the raid event in qinimi
smith rondal event
the raid target in baridu
all the nameds in tipt/vexd

Don't really think it's fair to call it soloing if you're using a mercenary though, but the PoWater minis are doable without one anyway, probably were a while ago.

07-07-2009, 05:55 PM

I was actually thinking about VT, they dont hit hard compared to todays content but they had a metric ton of HPs so its a long fight. I suspect we could probably pet tank while we dot dps and use merc to heal pet.

Vanlor

07-07-2009, 06:12 PM

Hanvar would be hardcore long. Only poison lands (and corruption of course) plus you would have to kill the adds. I doubt if I would have enough mana to do it. Another problem is, if you Blood Magic, you cannot land Mental Decomp on Havar, only the adds so gl with outpacing lol

I'm pretty sure Bite is the named to farm, from FoS Group #1. That's the one I've tried, without much luck so far getting the spawn.

I'll try to give you my version of a better answer regarding how to handle the mobs, since I had the same luck as you trying the nameds until the other day.

Are you using the following?

-Fortify Companion
-Companion's Blessing
-Merc w/ Promised Renewal blocked
-Pet fully geared with elegant defiant or magi gear
-Spectral Ward buff

As well as...

-3rd Spire
-OoW Robe Click
-Any/All dps clicks

Without using every one of these I have gotten whooped, every single time.

At least for t5 &c. named I will usually patch when necessary; I don't trust the mercenaries to do much of anything right and DoTs have the benefit of working through the fact that we are doing something else. Have you tried making a few orbs too? Those are easy enough to use between casts.

That little tid bit of info I had not done yet, that should help leaps and bounds.

Luckily I have all my pet AA's and focus minion 8. With merc its funny how many things we can kill, I have even gone back to life tap tanking again in a pinch.

2 Necros with War pets and 2 t5 mercs can pretty much kill anything in this expansion group wise with out breaking a sweat.
