Ja das ist gut. Seems odd to see everything in german <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />. Glad its been shown that a wizard is capable of it as well. Is this possible without robe of the invoker? <div></div>

[adamflanagan]

very impressive, my faith in wizards has been restored.... now just to get raid resistances sorted. <div></div>

Great job!  Maybe lady urethra will keep quiet now.

[TheWhiteRaid]

<DIV>Grats.   Was wondering if it was possible.</DIV>

[IllusiveThoughts]

<DIV>how long of a fight was it?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>looks like it was at least longer than 10 minutes.</DIV>

[roarfrost]

<DIV>I said it of Warlocks, I'll say it of Wizards, (which my main is), NO class should be able to SOLO Group X 2 mobs.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

Warrior23 You are my hero <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I'm sick and tired of seeing a whole load of posts from people who clearly don't know how to play their class, constantly complaining about how thats Sony's fault and that we are gimped.  Makes us seem like a bunch of whiney cry babies, and probably has one or two Dev's chuckling to them selves as they read about how rubbish our class is, all the time thinking to themselves 'Hah, what an idiot, if only they bothered to do ......... ' Grats btw

[SalBlu]

<P>You DONT need Golden Efreeti Boots, Robe of the Invoker, Ring of the Nightbloods, or Extraplanar Girdle to solo like this.  You need to get this through your head.  Sure they are nice things to have, but you have to realize that we have power regen spells already.  On top of that, there are nice potions right on the broker for sale that help in alleviating the health cost of such spells.</P> <P>I can tell you that I myself CAN and HAVE solo'd group mobs in the fashion above.  I havent quite gotten the hang of Iceburg and Tundra Jack yet, but I have been able to kill one of them, and get the second down to about 1/6 health before my rythem gets screwed up and my rooting sequence takes a dive.  </P> <P>And go look at my profile.  I only have GEBs.  That's just 20 power per tick.  Not much at all.  I barely notice it in combat.</P> <P>There is absolutely NO huge detrimental failure in Wizards.  The only problems we have are resists by EPIC mobs, a broken DOT spell (Protoflame), and a high power cost of our spells. </P> <P>Thats it.</P>

[suroktheslayer5]

Some people just are die hard whinners, we could be the best clas to play in the game and yet they will claim that the class is broken because they got out dps once by a warlock one time. It seems with the flood of evidence and testimony the whinners (Lady) seem to have a religous fervor when it comes to claiming wizards suck. It's really funny since she claimed a  wizard couldn't kill TJ and Ice even though she didn't even bothered to try it herself before making such a claim and then only after someone has done it does she even begin to consider to try to do it herself. Don't me wrong, there are issues to be addressed like proflame but it hardly a reason to claim that wizards are borked soloy based on one spell. Until the devs put in "I win" spell you'll have dumba$$ whinners complaining about about every aspect of the game and even then they'll probbaly complain about the power cost or casting time of the "I win" spell. There no winning with them. Whinners lack skill other than their annonying shrill incompotance. Surok lv 50 wiz <div></div>

<P>I really would like to thank the OP on demonstrating how powerful the wizard is as a solo class. We may have our troubles in the endgame and in raids, but this certainly does show that we can shine, heck shine seems too small a word, how about 'pwn',  in other areas. I am sure you have set a new benchmark for what soloers should strive for. I bet the devs would never have thought that anyone could take on an Epicx2 solo and win! You must have certainly given them plenty of food for thought. The last LU indicated that they had made our roots stronger,possibly to compensate for the fact we are going to be losing parry soon, and this clearly demonstrates that it was indeed a success. Gee I wonder if they are going to take the fact we still have parry at the moment, when they use this very valuable data you were just so thoughtful enough to provide them, in their ongoing evaluation of combat changes.</P> <P>Coming soon to a LU near you</P> <P><SPAN><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman"><B><SPAN>Wizard changes:</SPAN></B><SPAN></SPAN></FONT></FONT></P> <P><SPAN><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">- Tether will now break as soon as the mob takes damage.

<P>I'm pretty sure you cant kill either tundra Jack or Iceberg before ring of cold group root timer expires, for a start ring of cold always breaks earlier then 36seconds and its pretty hard to keep two seperate mobs rooted with Truss and Frozen Manacles while you wait for ring of cold to recharge so <FONT color=#ccff00>how did you keep both mobs rooted after it ran out?</FONT> They clearly didnt move because iceberg is still in the same place.</P> <P>Why is iceberg so fuzzy? I keep looking at icebergs behind and I can't see the jaggy shape you would expect such as on the robes of the character to your left? </P> <P>How come the first screenshot is smaller dimension then the others? Dosn't the game capture all screenshots the same size?</P> <P>Why isn't Tundra Jack looking at you like Iceberg does when you engage? If you hit a mob wether rooted or not it always turns toward you.</P> <P>I dunno.....if you did this then thats cool, but the screenshots arn't exactly above suspicion in my eyes.</P> <P>The casting time on Truss and Frozen Manacles combined assuming you rooted both before ring of cold ran out wouldn't give you a lot of time to cast anything else combine this with the fact you have dots running which always break frozen manacles eventualy and instantly breaks the first part of truss then look at the timer on Descry indicating you killed both before it ran out (within 15minutes) There are a lot of questions for me about these screenshots.</P> <P> </P> <p>Message Edited by FrostPaw on <span class=date_text>05-10-2005</span> <span class=time_text>05:09 AM</span>

<DIV>I don't believe it either and there are so many angry people on this board..LOL</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Some people have so much kempt up anger - </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I was only able to bring Tundra Jack and Iceberg to 2/6 health and what made it difficult is that iceberg was closer to me than tundra jack when ring of cold took effect.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Ring of Cold did not refresh soon enough so I was interupted too many time by the time it was good. Also, even with elixir of clarity my mana did not regen fast enough.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But the technique is effective and does work on same level 49 double up mobs------but very, very close.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I am left with 1/4 health by the time I finish one off.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So thank you everyone.

[Daerov]

<P>One thing I have noticed about these 2 is for some reason, perhaps a type of buff? I'm not sure, they have signficantly more hp than other times. For example, I will hit jack with adept III ice comet and only take off roughly 5% health but, after resists hehe, I come back and attempt again and I do roughly 9%-12%. I need to experiment more because I'm fairly certain I had not used any mitigation debuffs on them during those times.</P> <P>But yeah its definitely doable... just gotta practice on knowing your roots and what to do in case of a resist. I now do jack and iceberg regularly along with menagerie, vault of flames blah blah. Just keep  practicing! <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P>

[SalBlu]

<DIV>Dang...

[QQ-Fatman]

umm.. i have a question here: what spells do you use and what's the cast order? I've been trying this many times. If I use ring of cold -> debuff -> ice comet -> start HO -> ball of flames -> immolation -> ball of flames -> ice spear... I will run out of mana in like 2 mins (I have robe of the invoker.) But if i only use ice comet and immlation (since they are high dpm spells) to do damage, i'll need to cast root spells a lot... and if one get resisted, I might get killed in seconds.

[TheWhiteRaid]

<DIV>Those mobs in general are weak compared to other 2X mobs.   </DIV>

[Daerov]

Yeah they really shouldn't be epic x2 IMO.

[sci]

<DIV>Yeah I cant seem to figure out to save enough mana to kill them both either.  I can kill Iceberg and then get tundrajack down to 20 percent health before i compeltely run out of mana and health.  So I have to run, thank goodness for my horse.  Come back and kill Tundrajack when hes all alone.  Heres my routine.  Got it down pretty good after a couple of trys.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Stats: 2300 health, 3010 power</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>ROC->icy coil(ad 3)->piercing icicyles(app4)->ice comet(ad 3)->ho->ball of flames(ad 3)->start canceling dots->ice spike(ad 3) -> frozen mantacles(ad3 on Iceberg)->truss(ad1) on tundrajack->cancel ROC before dot factor kicks in->vital flow(ad1)->naedrous sieve(forgot whats it called other mana tap spell)->frozen mantacles(iceberg again)->ROC </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>heres where i rinse and repeat.  But i have no more mana or health.  Anybody wanna share whats their technique?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV><p>Message Edited by scitz on <span class=date_text>05-13-2005</span> <span class=time_text>02:00 PM</span>

Yeah... I just tried fighting big TJ and I couldn't even get my ring of cold to stick on both of them.  It may be that 'cause I haven't soloed with my wizard since level 19, but yeah, couldn't even get him down a tiny bit at all.  Only in-combat power regen I have is robe of the invoker.  I also have all adept 3s.  Iceberg just hits me too hard.  I'll try again later, I have a tactic brewing in my head. <div></div>

So I think it also requires great luck for a wizard to solo. <BR> <HR> </BLOCKQUOTE>You guess 85%, I bet due to human nature and the way we percieve probabilities thats more like 90%+ . I don't think thats totally unreasonable against smame level mobs. Everyone who kills them also dies to them sometimes<BR>

<DIV>Gratz on getting him solo. Just wanted to say one thing about all you people saying there is a bug about the epic X2..... that doesn't mean its an epic mob. an epic mob is a ^^^ or +++ wichever way you like to put it. X2 only means you can use two full groups. This encounter is ment for people who are between 40 and 45 to be capable of killing as well. Since we are 50 and equal to the mob no he is not that grossly underpowered. Did you ask him how many times he tried before it worked? no people just think he did omg he can just walk up and kill him. Trust me coming from a 50 Warlock that has done him a couple times now solo its takes a bit of luck people its not easy. if you want it to be easy grab a few people and he is an utter joke. Its HARD to solo this encounter and it take alot of practice and knowing your class. Once again gratz on the kill. As i almost never post on these forums don't know if it will say who my char is or not so will just put it in the thread.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>lvl 50 Warlock Urdd</DIV> <DIV>Befallen Server</DIV> <DIV>Shadowed Strife</DIV>

The description says that Iceberg and the Ghost of Tundra Jack are epic, but it's not true. All of the spells that aren't supposed to work on epics do -- which leads me to believe that the only reason they are epic is because they are two Named mobs who happen to be linked. For any wizard who is used to farming the Tundra Terrors and Frozen Tempests in this area, taking out Iceberg and Tundra Jack is fairly easy solo, assuming that you land all of your spells (don't get resisted), and just get lucky rolls with your roots. <div></div>

<P>Also his loot sucks. Ive soloed him 3 times and i have 3 bucklers to show for it >.< Doh!</P> <P>And no, he is not an epic, RoC does not land on epics. Add to that the fact that they have less HP than meny lvl 50^^ and youve got your self an good chalange for a solo adventurere. Nothing more.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P>Yes SoE, i want to do more solo content, just not on solo mobs. Soloing(or at least trying) lvl 50^^+ is a rely fun chalange, but in the end you will die a hell of alot more than you will when fighting regular mobs, thats why they dont relly need to nerf anyhting, its a rely  rely big risk.</P>
