Soloing Sothis in HoF

[Jingadingdang]

<div></div>Okay so I tried soloing in HoF earlier, got down to Sothis without too much trouble. Had alot of trouble with Sothis though. I'm not sure what strat other coercers use to solo him. Is it a case of burning down the adds until they stop spawning while keeping him mezzed? Or is it something like there is somewhere you can stand where the adds won't aggro you? If anyone can give me any pointers that'd be great, thanks <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

<P>Few hints:</P> <P>Sorthis is .... stunnable, stifleable so you can use centrurion pet</P> <P>1 bomb can be picked up in Frankenshein room (so you can deal with 1 add w/o trouble)</P> <P>Sorthis have rather low HP for named</P> <P>Last but not least - pull him far from his room</P>

What pets are you using to clear the earlier nameds (particularly the first one)?<div></div>

<DIV>Usually an Infiltrator for the first guy, or a Destroyer if I've run out of them. After you kill the adds it's pretty easy to keep him rooted and have the inf run in, and either ca him for a decent amount or land poison on him which is even better. Try to keep out of range because he has some sort of ranged attack, and move back in a bit closer if you need to refresh the root. For some of the later named the Biopist pets work alot better because they have caster pets and have a decent nuke.</DIV>

Hmm, thats what I had a go at today, I killed the adds easy enough and I was there with an infiltrator charmed and named mezzed and rooted. I was hoping to do exactly what you said - send the pet in, get that DoT on him and keep him rooted. However I guess I was too close or did something slightly wrong as he made mincemeat of my pet in one hit (all I did was send the pet in and back it off fast) with his whirling death attack which also almost one shotted me.I assume I should be out of spellcasting range except when I actually need to cast one.. <div></div>

How are you guys getting down to Sothis without too much trouble? The hallways are killing me. I can't seem to reliably pull groups without other groups adding (such as by sending in a pet and backing it off, or by casting on a mob where they stand). I also try body pulling, which is more successfully able to split them up, but chances are that I'm going to get perma-stunned and killed before I can get AE mez off. I must be doing something wrong...
