What's the toughest thing you can solo?

[lolercopter]

Just wondering what kind of things rangers can solo at 65+.  I don't want this to turn into a nerf crying thread or anything, just wondering what ya'll can solo.<div></div>

[Gareorn]

<div>This should be a fun thread.  However, I think many of us are a little gun-shy toward this subject.  I'm not 65 yet so I'll pass.</div>

[Dirtgirl]

<div></div>Yellow ^'s since the last LU are pretty easy. Can be tough if Sniper's gets parried or trap doesnt catch them. If either of those happen I am more often than not evaccing. Also soloed a couple VERY green ^^^s in SoS. But my guild is raiding again, and I'm 70, so not alot of soloing goin on anymore.

[Star]

<div></div><p>I took a very green named once. After 4 deaths, each attempt taking about 10 to 15 minutes. So in roughly 50 to 75 minutes of game play I managed to take the thing out under super ideal conditions (there was a big open spot with no adds).</p><p>Now, back to reality. A just yellow ^ could probably be taken with a good ammount of effort.</p>

<div></div><div></div><p>Toughest I have done so far was a group of two 66 ^^ blacktalons in Palace....</p><p>I killed one 65^^^ in Sanctuum too but had to evac right as it died ( because adds were pounding on me).</p><p>67^^^ Drakota indoor with no room to move much are a big NO-NO so far <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p> </p><p>Err all of that is at level 70.</p><p>Message Edited by Ail on <span class="date_text">03-31-2006</span><span class="time_text">08:47 AM</span></p>

<div></div><p>On the 12th attempt I finally solo'd a very green Skywatcher.  Thankfully all the other mobs around her are grey and no one else came to check on her during the hour plus she kept killing me lol.  Cost my a little over 30g in repairs and 5% XP dept, but at 70 who cares about dept :p, but I got my alt his nice robe from that [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn].</p><p>Other then that I limited myself to killing ^ ups. And I don't think I can afford to keep trying ^^^ ups.  There are just to few where there is any type of room to move around in.  And my 16% in combat run speed doesn't do a damm thing in keeping distance from mobs.</p><p> </p>

[Laia]

I solo 95% of the time.  At 67th level, I can solo 69^ mobs (yellow cons) and could probably take out a 70^ mob if the stars are aligned properly.  I've got 8 AP's in Point Blank Shot, fwiw; I find that helps tremendously (in addition to the short term root in the Lunging Thrust CA line).<div></div>

[Draughi]

<div></div><p>Triple up 65.  Kiting and lifetap poisons.  Was in the red, managed to get defensive stance up with killing instinct and honed reflexes....thank gawd I got like 5 procs in a row.   </p><p> </p><p>I manage to do 70 one ups regularly with room.  </p>

<div></div>pre or post LU20? lol and dont worry this cant cry  nerf.. cause anythign we can solo, lots of classes can solo better =p

[A]

<div>Well it seems Cacotoxic abominations are rl easy too so add 68^^^ to my list ( although I need those to be outdoor because a little kiting is needed, fight remains short though and is over in less than a minute).</div>

[Guy De Alsace]

Used Focus Aim with Stealthy Fire initially and critical hit the mob before it closed. Got Triple Arrow on it as well. Used Lunging Thrust with its 4 sec stun then hit it with Devitalizing Arrow. After that I spammed my melee CA's and used Brock's Thermal Shocker. Got a proc from my Lambent Imbued as well as the heal procs from Drelakor's Scale Shield (101 points) at key points.Even with 56% avoidance and reasonable mit the mob sliced through me in melee so fast that I ended up in red extremely quickly. Was luck in the end that I killed it. Shame about the DoT which stays on after the mob dies....otherwise I'd have been ok.I couldnt kite it due to it being KoS and the 850 billion adds that cram every centimeter of the islands in KoS.<div></div>

<P>I'm not a Ranger, but I've watched a Ranger do something amazing (with the Miracle Shot/Arrow CA?).</P> <P>I've seen a L70 Ranger regularly solo the L69 ^^^ The Vornerus Tyrant in The Bonemire. Uses Miracle Shot/Arrow to get the mob out of the cave, and then kites it on the backside of the Hive where the fetidthorns are (easy to clear, and a pretty long respawn). He must be doing something right - he has 15 high-T7 Master Is for sale.</P>

<P>I have noticed that you can target both the Vornerus intruder and Heirodule from the outside of the cave where the fetidhorns spawn. I never thought of doing this but hey why not. I am positive I cannot take a named one level below me without certain death. As Saihung says I would love to see his gear and spells</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

[Velocidad]

Love to have his gear and masters is an understatement. The Tyrant is not an "easy" mob by any means. Oh and I can solo a rat in Ant maybe a darkpaw if I catch the right procs and HOs =). <div></div>

[klepp]

tyrant isnt easy, but with some luck and kiting room it should be doable, our guild wizard and conjuror does him like clockwork with no problems at all... .but we're not talking about other classes right? =p

[Guy De Alsace]

I've seen some Rangers do similar stuff but they are invariably very well equipped and usually belong to a "pro" guild. It used to be cake with stun poisons but I never use them so dont know if they got nerfed or not. <div></div>

[StealthM0]

<DIV>I shall obstain from stating what I tank, kite, and slay.  I hold my own and then some is all I am going to say in this public area. And I bring the pain.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But thats in tier 6 with (quoting developers here) overpowered cobalt gear (pfft, I still wipe hello its not THAT overpowered). Far as t7 I am thinking of flip flopping my current stats to get a 400+ str. So I CAN do that great dps again. Right now my str is 212 and IM mediocre, but my agi is high (330+) so I dont get hit often. Thinking of trading (sacrificing) agi for str. I mean why not, we already get to lose a ton of hp when we move to tier 7 and lose all that stamina/agi/str gear. *voice dripping with sarcasm*</DIV><p>Message Edited by StealthM0de on <span class=date_text>04-14-2006</span> <span class=time_text>11:12 AM</span>

<DIV>I'm only 64, but with 4 ranks in Point Blank Shot, the new root, and some fancy footwork (i'm too poor to buy poisons, that would probably help) I can solo 67 no arrows in Bonemire.  It's a tough fight, and I'm using mostly T6 gear, so that may have something to do with it... my only T7 master is the Arrow summon ability. =)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Guess I should play my ranger more often, huh?  heh</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Q</DIV>
